GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN
OLD HOUSE
A woman, Naoki Himura is on ladder, scraping the old wallpaper off of a wall in her house. She is talking on the phone with an earpiece as she does so.
"I'm not mad, honey. I'm just - outnumbered! This place is way more of a fixer-upper than we thought. Like I'm starting to see why it was on the market for so long. No, I know. You're right. That's right. One room at a time. Starting with this awful wallpaper. Thank you. Yeah, love you too. Love you too. 'Kay, bye." Naoki Himura Says
Naoki hangs up and she turns back to the wall and scrapes off some more wallpaper, revealing some lines of red paint underneath, A child's scream is heard. Naoki stops and turns.
"Kat?" Naoki Says
Naoki runs up the stairs to her daughter's room, Kat is sitting on her bed, terrified.
"Kat?" Naoki Says
"Mommy? Something-something bad is in the house." Kat Says
"It's just a nightmare, honey." Naoki Says
"But I heard footsteps. Why did we have to move here? And why is it so cold in my room?" Kat Says
"Yeah it is cold in here, huh? But the furnace is going to be fixed tomorrow, so just gotta be patient, okay? We all do. Can I get you anything?" Naoki Says
"I'm thirsty." Kat Says
"Okay. One glass of water comin' right up. But then back to sleep. 'Kay." Kat nods "Okay." Naoki Says
Naoki leaves the room just as Kat lies down again, when the lights go off all of a sudden. Startled, she sits up. Her door slams shut by itself. A terrified Kat hides underneath her bed, and footsteps can be heard, getting closer and closer on the other side of the door. The shadow of feet are seen near in the light underneath the door.
"Mama?" Naoki Says
There is no reply as the door opens with a loud creaking. There is no one there. Behind Kat, a gnarly grey hand reaches out, grabs her, and drags her as she screams.

CAFE
Dean is sitting at the bar of a cafe, with a cup of coffee and an untouched burger. Sam comes in and sits down next to him.
"Alright, nothing on Amara. Nothing on Cas... Keep your head up. We're gonna win this. Remember?" Sam Says
"Yeah that was before two weeks of squat." Dean Says
"Yeah well look, nobody said is was gonna be easy. You know the drill, in the meantime, we hunt. Check this out." He pulls out his iPad with the case information on it "Naoki Himura. Said her little girl was attacked by an entity." Sam Says
"Kid's in a coma." Dean Says
"Yeah. Only site of trauma is what the mom is describing as a handprint from the alleged attacker. But no one else was in the house at the time, so..." Sam Says
"So vengeful spirit? Poltergeist?" Dean Says
"It's worth finding out. It's only a couple hours away." Sam Says
"You really think now is the time to take our eye off the prize?" Dean Says
"Dean we can't just sit around and - and wait for a lead. Plus, it would be nice to get a win, this case seems like a lay-up." Sam Says
