*Riley POV* 

"Will you shut up about the god damn pie?" Riley chuckled. 

"I'm just saying, it was good." Dean shrugged, making Sam roll his eyes. 

The impala sped down the dark road. Nothing but trees and darkness sped past Riley on either side of the car. She sat in the middle of the backseat, leaning her elbows on the back of the front seat. 

"One day I'm gonna bake you a pie so you can see what a real pie should taste like." Riley said with a smug smile. 

"You can bake?" Dean looked at her in the rear view mirror. 

"Oh yeah, she's really good." Sam nodded.

"There's a lot of things I can do." Riley nodded. 

Dean looked back at the road with an impressed look. 

"Well then, let's put your cooking skills to the test once we've cracked this case." Dean grinned. 

But Riley wasn't focusing on Dean anymore, instead her eyes were glued to the distressed woman who had dived out of the bushes onto the road. 

"Dean! Look out!" Riley yelled, pointing at the woman. 

Dean slammed his foot on the brakes and the car skidded to a sharp halt. Riley placed her hand on the back of her neck and accused Dean of giving her whiplash. A woman stood in front of the car, breathing heavily and looking terrified. Riley, Sam and Dean got out of the car and raced towards the woman. Sam asked her what had happened and she told them her name was Molly, and she'd ran her car off the road. 

"When I woke up my husband was gone and then this crazy old guy started chasing me!" Molly cried. 

"Okay, why don't you come with us and we'll get you somewhere  safe." Dean said. 

But Molly refused. Instead she asked them to take her back to her car so she could  look for her husband, David. Reluctantly, the brothers agreed and took Molly back to the sight of the crash. However when they arrived, there was no sign of Molly's wrecked car, or any sign of a crash at all. 

"Are you sure this is the right place?" Sam asked, looking around. 

"I don't understand, where's my car?" Molly gasped. "It was right here!" 

Molly suddenly walked further down the hill, into the trees. Dean, Sam and Riley attempted to stop her but Molly marched onwards. Eventually, Dean was able to convince Molly to go back to the road after Sam had pulled him and Riley aside, claiming they needed to get out of there before the man returned. Riley climbed into the backseat beside Molly while Sam and Dean got in the front. Dean started the car and pulled off, driving down the road again. As they drove, Molly told them all how she and David were on their way to Lake Tahoe for their fifth anniversary. Riley smiled sadly at Molly and squeezed her hand. Suddenly the radio started flashing and the dial moved back and forth, scanning through radio stations. The dial stopped moving and a song played, making Molly gasp. 

"This is the song that was playing when I crashed." Molly whispered. 

Riley looked forward at Sam and Dean. The radio started to crackle again and Riley leant forward as a raspy voice whispered 'she's mine' in the background. Further down the road, they saw the old man. Riley gripped Molly's hand and prepared for Dean to slam on the brakes again, but Dean didn't even flinch, instead he put his foot down and the car sped up. The impala drove straight through the man, reducing him to dust. When they looked behind them, the road was clear and there was no sign of the man.
