Sam nodded, taking a long look at Dean. His ribs stuck out as his thin chest rose and fell with each gasped breath. Then he turned to look at Olivia, who had settled into staring at the ceiling with a dull, blank expression. Only the way her eyes glittered, so lively they dominated her face, betrayed she was still fully aware of her surroundings. With a tired sigh, he ran his palm over his face. The day had barely begun and he was already impossibly drained. "Well, as you might imagine, there aren't that many of us," he said, turning back to the other room. "So this should be fairly painless. You already know Lydia, and then there's Dylan and Evan." He indicated the two men who'd come to help restrain Olivia. "And in here we have Alissa, Tom and Andrew, and Michelle. All of them, the best of their classes." He indicated everyone as he introduced them. Alissa was a redhead; Michelle was a blonde. Tom and Andrew shared nearly every feature, being brothers, except for a few small differences. Tom had blue eyes, while Andrew had hazel. Andrew had somewhat lighter brown hair than Tom did, and a fine but livid red scar on his jaw. "Everyone," Sam called to get their attention, "This is Atlas Stone. He's an old classmate of mine; he'll be joining us." There was dead silence following this statement; then Alissa asked in a surprisingly cold tone, completely contradictory to the almost sweet nature of her face, "And is he trustworthy, Sam?"
