*Dean POV* 

"I'm so hungry." Riley whined from the backseat. 

"You're always hungry." Sam snorted.

"Am not!" Riley said defensively.

"There's a diner just up here." Dean said, pointing ahead.  

"Thank you." Riley grinned. She leant over the front seat and kissed his cheek. 

Dean rolled his eyes but a ghost of a smile pulled on his lips as he glanced at her in the rear view mirror. 

"Oh sure, you love me when I'm getting you food." Dean smirked. 

Riley grinned again and tucked her hands into her jacket sleeves. Dean pulled into the parking lot of the café and parked the car just in front of the window. From his position, he could see the diner was full of customers. Dean handed Riley some cash. 

"Get extra onions this time." Dean said over his shoulder. 

Riley took the cash and rolled her eyes. "Jesus, you forget the onions one time and you never live it down." 

"Damn right." Dean smirked. 

Riley kissed his cheek again and got out the car, following Sam towards the diner. Just before they got to the door, Dean opened the window. 

"And see if they've got any pie!" He yelled out. 

Riley held up a thumb to him and then walked inside. Dean watched them from the drivers seat, watching as they walked up to the counter. Suddenly the radio started to flicker and faded in and out. Dean looked down and fiddled with the dial, trying to get the radio to work again. He glanced up at the diner, double taking when he noticed the diner was no longer full of people and the lights had gone out. Dean hurried out of the car and raced towards the door. Inside, Dean was shocked to discover a dead guy, covered in blood, with his head on the table. He looked around the café and over the counter he saw two more dead men. Sam and Riley were no where to be seen. 

"SAM? RILEY?" Dean yelled. 

Dean continued to the back door, looking for any sign of Sam and Riley, but there was no sign of them. He did however, spot traces of sulfur on the windowsill. Dean's panic started to increase as he realised a demon had been here. He rushed back through the front door, calling out for his brother and girlfriend, but there was no sign of them anywhere. They were gone.

*Riley POV* 

Riley peeled her eyes open and coughed as a swirl of dust surrounded her. She sat up slowly and looked around at the deserted town. Pulling herself to her feet, Riley reached into her pocket for her phone, only to realise she'd left it in the back of the impala. 

"Great." Riley sighed. 

She brushed down her jeans and started walking down the street, searching for any sign of anyone. As she turned a corner, she heard footsteps from inside one of the buildings and froze. Suddenly, Andy appeared, one of the people they'd helped in a previous case that year. 

"Riley?" Andy gasped. 

"Andy! What are you doing here?" Riley asked, hurrying towards him. 

"I don't know, I just woke up here." Andy shrugged. 

"You and me both." Riley sighed. 

"Where's Sam and Dean?" Andy asked. 

"I wish I knew." Riley shook her head.
