Anna screamed as Ruby pulled her from the closet.
The demon continued, "Come on, Dean. Don't you recognize me? Oh, I forgot--I'm wearing a pediatrician. But we were so close...in Hell."
"Alastair." Dean said venomously.
Sam stabbed Alastair with Ruby's knife while Holly shot at him. "You're gonna have to try a whole lot harder than that, son, girlie."
Sam grabbed his siblings and they looked at a large stained glass window.
Holly shook her head and backed away. "No, no, no!"
"H, we don't have time." Dean said.
Alastair pulled out the knife and they jumped out the window. Holly's eyes were closed and she had a death grip on Dean's hand.
They ran to the motel room and Holly was stitching up a cut on her leg, periodically glaring at her brothers. Sam was sewing a cut on his left arm.
Dean said from the bathroom, "Are you two almost done?"
"I'm going as fast as I can." Sam retorted. "I wouldn't ask Holly. She looks about ready to murder us."
Dean glanced at her before saying, "Good, cause you know I got a dislocated shoulder over here." Dean picked up a whiskey bottle and drank from it."
"Yeah. I'll pop it back in when I'm finished." He gestured to the bottle. "Gimme that."
Dean handed him the whiskey bottle. "So, you lost the magic knife, huh?"
"D, sit down." Holly instructed. "He saved your ass. Who in the hell was that demon?"
He sat down and looked up at her. "No one good. We got to find Anna."
"Ruby's got her." Sam said. "I'm sure she's okay."
Holly glanced at her brother. "Okay, on three. One..." She forced his shoulder back into place before turning to Sam. "Are you sure about Ruby? Cause I, and I'm sure Dean, think it's highly possible she used radio chick, and then brought the demon to kill us."
Sam shook his head. "No, she took Anna to keep her safe."
Dean frowned. "Yeah. Well, why wasn't she called to tell us where she is?"
"Because that demon is probably watching us right now, waiting to follow us right back to Anna again. That's why he let us go."
Holly pointed to the three of them. "You call this letting us go?"
Sam nodded. "Yeah, I do. Look, killing would've been no problem to that thing. That's why, for now, we just lay low and wait for Ruby to contact us."
"How's she gonna do that?" Dean asked. After a moment, he then added, "Why do you trust her so much?"
"I told you two."
Holly shook her head. "You're gonna have to do better than that, Sammy."
Dean nodded. "Hey, we're not trying to pick a fight here. I mean, we really do want to understand. But we need to know more. I mean, we deserve to know more."
"Because...she saved my life."
Holly frowned and her eyes widened, wondering what Sam had meant.
Sam launched into a story about how Ruby had saved his life from some demons.
"Okay? What'd she teach you?" Holly asked.
"Well, the first thing I learned...I'm a crappy student."
She giggled. "I'll say."
Sam then started going into Ruby trying to tell him she understood him and then how they started having sex.
