She still felt completely out of her depth, with very little clue as to what was going on.
"I promised someone I'd help you so I will." Another thought occurred to her and she swallowed hard before leaning over and gently prying Sam's hand away from his face. "I just need you to tell me one thing ok? Where are Dean and Jo? Are they ok?"
