DOCKS

An athletic young woman is out for a run, running along the docks at night. She stops at a water fountain, checks her time, and takes a drink. She hears thunder and looks up, out over the water; sliding past not too far away is a ghostly old sailing ship. She removes her headphones and stares as it crosses into the harbor, then vanishes. She puts her headphones back in, still spooked, and jogs off.

HOME

Later, the same woman is showering. A dark figure approaches and places his hand on the glass of the shower door. She doesn't notice until he rubs at the glass, making a squeaking noise. She pokes her head out and looks around her well-appointed bathroom, but sees nothing. She goes back into the shower; moments later a man in a dry overcoat, who is in the enclosed shower with her, grabs her from behind and begins to strangle her. He slams her against the walls of the shower several times until she slides to the floor, apparently dead.

ROAD

Dean is driving, Sam in the passenger's seat, Elena in the back, There is a tense silence in the car, which Dean breaks.

"So, I've been waiting since Maple Springs. You got something to tell me?" Dean Says

"You Talking to me?" Elena Asks

"No Not You Lena, I'm talking to Sammy" Dean Says

"It's not your birthday." Sam Says

"No." Dean Says

"... Happy Purim?, he laughs, Dude, I don't know. I have no idea what you're talking about—" Sam Says

"There's a bullet missing from the Colt. You want to tell me how that happened? I know it wasn't me, I know it wasn't Elena. So unless you were shooting at some incredibly evil cans..." Dean Says

"Dean ..." Sam Says

"You went after her, didn't you? The Crossroads Demon. After I told you not to." Dean Says

"Yeah, well..." Sam Says

"You could have gotten yourself killed!" Dean Says

"I didn't." Sam Says

"And you shot her." Elena Says

"She was a smartass!" Sam Says

"So, what? Does that, does that mean I'm out of my deal?" Dean Asks

"Don't you think I might have mentioned that little fact, Dean? No. Someone else holds the contract." Sam Says

"Who?" Elena Asks

"She wouldn't say." Sam Says

"Well, we should find out who. Of course, our best lead would be the Crossroads Demon. Oh, wait a minute..." Dean Says

"That's not funny." Sam Says

"No, it's not! It was a stupid freaking risk, and you shouldn't have done it." Dean Says

"I shouldn't have done it? You're my brother, Dean. And no matter what you do, I'm gonna try and save you. And I'm sure as hell not gonna apologize for it, all right?" Sam Says while Dean is silent. Sam shakes his head in exasperation.
