Let Me Down Slowly Δ SPN [ 2 ]

chapter thirteen

"Bobby? Bobby? Hey, hey, hey. Hold on." Sam tells the older man who is still out and Sam is in the back with him and Evie, trying to stop his bleeding.

"Sam, is he dead?" Dean asks.

"I'm checking." Sam says, feeling Bobby's neck for a pulse.

"Is he dead?!" Dean yells.

"Just drive, Dean! Bobby!" Sam calls.

"You gotta talk to me, Sam." Dean says.

"All right, he's breathing. There's a pulse." Sam informs.

"Keep him upright. Stop the bleeding." Dean demands.

"I'm not an idiot, Dean! I know first aid for a friggin' bullet to the head!" Sam snaps.

Dean calls the hospital while Sam continues to try to take care of Bobby's wound. They get to the hospital and Dean grabs Evie, ignoring her sudden cry of pain, brushing it off as him being in a rush. The two boys help basically carry Bobby into the emergency room and nurses immediately start taking care of him. They get him on a gurney and wheel him to a section while going over the injuries.

"What's happening? Please just tell us--" A doctor cuts Sam off.

"Get them out of here."

"Sorry. You need to stay out of their way." The nurse says.

"That's our uncle." Dean says.

"You got to stay back." The nurse says.

"What are they doing?" Sam asks.

"We need to get him stable." The nurse says.

"Okay, when are you gonna take the bullet out?" Dean asks.

"If we can get the swelling down, if it's in a place we can get to, if--"

"If he even lives that long." Sam cuts the nurse off. The nurse pulls a curtain shut, cutting them off from Bobby.

A few moments later, a nurse walks up and directs her attention to Evie.

"Sweetheart, are you all right?" The nurse gently asks. The brothers immediately look at Evie and finally notice how sweaty and tired she looks.

"I don't feel good." Evie mumbles, her eyes half shut.

"Evie, what's wrong?" Sam asks, walking closer to Dean and leaning close to her, trying to find an injury.

"My leg hurts." Evie answers, resting her head on Dean's shoulder. The three adults look at her right leg, since Dean is holding her on his right side, and see the darkened denim jeans. Sam's eyes widen as he carefully rolls her pant leg up, only to reveal a bullet wound to her knee.

"Doctor!" The nurse calls and a doctor rushes over from the urgency in her voice.

Sam falls a step back in shock, wondering how he didn't realize that his daughter was shot as well.

"You got shot? Why didn't you say anything?" Dean asks.

"I didn't realize." Evie whispers.
