Chapter 17 Heart

Sam was standing in a morgue with Hermione. An employee slides a corpse from his compartment.

'Here he is, Detectives,' The body has stitches running along his chest, stomach, shoulders and throat.

'That's a pretty nasty bite,' Sam points out.

'Mm-hmm,'

'You know what bit him?' Hermione asks.

'I haven't quite determined that just yet,' The employee answers, averting her eyes.

'Come on, Doc. Off the record,' Sam pushes.

'Okay, way, way off the record...' She eyes towards Hermione who puts away her pen and her notebook.

'Sure,' Hermione answers.

'If I didn't know better, I'd say the guy was attacked by a wolf. But unless I know that the zoo is missing one of their lobos, I'm going with the pit-bull,' She eyes them. 'I like my job,'

Sam chuckles. 'Yeah, I hear you. One more thing. This guy—was his heart missing?'

'Yeah, how did you know that? I haven't even finished my report,'

'Lucky guess,'

Sam and Hermione came back to the hotel after the morgue. The two had also changed out of their detective outfits. Dean was sitting on the bed cleaning his guns.

'This lawyer guy is the first heart-free corpse in town?' Dean asks.

'First man. Over the past year, several women have gone missing. Dean, bodies all washed up later in the bay, too deteriorated to draw firm conclusions,' Hermione answers with a bitter undertone, sitting on Sam's bed.

'But no hearts?'

'No hearts. They were all hookers working Hunter's Point. Now, cops are trying to keep things under wraps, but they're looking for a serial killer,' Sam answers as he takes a seat in front of Dean.

'And the lunar cycle?'

'Mm-hmm. Yeah, month after month, all the murders happen in the week leading up to the full moon,'

'Which is this week, right?'

'Hence the lawyer,'

'Awesome,' 

'Dean, could you be a bigger geek about this?'

'I'm sorry, man, but what about a human by day, a freak animal killing machine by moonlight don't you understand? I mean, werewolves are badass. We haven't seen once since we were kids,'

'Okay, Sparky. And you know what? After we kill it, we can go to Disneyland,'

'You know what the best part about it is? We already know how to bring these suckers down,' Dean holds up a silver bullet. 'One of these bad boys right to the heart. So, what is our next move?'

'Talk to the girl who found the body,' Sam answers.

Sam, Dean and Hermione are standing in front of Madison's apartment. She lets them inside.

'I don't understand. I already gave my statement,'

'Right, well, we just need to verify a few things,' Sam answers.

'This is my neighbor, Glen, Glen, this is Detective...'

'Landis. And Detective Dante and Detective Wadleigh,' Dean answers. Glen, a bearded man wearing a ''Mission Church'' T-shirt, stands up.

'Well, I guess I'll leave you to it,' He says.

'Okay. Thanks for the casserole,'

'Oh, how thoughtful,' Dean points out, getting a slide nudge from Hermione.
