CEMETERY

Palo Alto, California

EXT. CEMETERY – DAY

Birds chirp. Sam, wearing a suit and tie and carrying a bouquet of various flowers excluding roses,Tilly wearing a black dress and Harley wearing a black shirt and pants

Sam sighs and stops next to a gravestone. It reads "JESSICA LEE MOORE", "Beloved Daughter and Sister", "January 24th 1984 – November 2nd 2005". There is a small picture of a grinning JESS set into the stone above her name, a black-and-white picture of her leaning against the stone between a white teddy bear and a wooden box with a crucifix leaning on the picture, a small American flag next to the box, and three candles standing on the gravestone; one is of the Virgin de Guadalupe

SAM looks between the gravestone and the flowers.

"I, uh..." Sam started, he didn't know what to say, Jess was gone and she wasn't coming back.

Sam laughs." You always said roses were lame, so I brought you, uh.."  

"It's okay Sam" Tilly said while standing beside Harley. "Mom wouldn't want us to be sad," Harley said, Sam just nodded.

Sam looks at the picture set into the gravestone, then looks away, choking back tears. He steps closer to the gravestone.

"Jess...oh God..."Tilly said with tears going down her face

Sam kneels to set down the flowers.

"I should have protected you. I should have told you the truth."

SAM leans the flowers in front of the crucifix. An arm covered in dirt shoots out of the ground and grabs Sam by the wrist.

IMPALA

INT. IMPALA – DAY

Sam jerks awake. It is 10 Nov 2005, he is riding shotgun next to Dean, Foreigner "Hot-Blooded" is playing, and the cemetery visit is days behind them if it ever occurred. Harley was in the backseat along with Betsy and Tilly, Snuggles was laying on the floor of the car across their feet.

Sam blinks and rubs his eyes. Dean looks over, concerned.

"You ok?" Tilly asked.

Sam glances over and away."Yeah, I'm fine." he mutters.

Dean nods "Another nightmare?" he asked

Sam clears his throat, but doesn't answer

"You wanna drive for a while?"Dean asks

"Dean, your whole life you never once asked me that."Sam said with a laugh

"Just thought you might want to. Never mind" Dean defended.

"Look Guys I get you're worried about me I get it, and thank you, but I'm perfectly okay." Sam said,

"Mm-hmm. sure," Dean said with a scoff.

"All right, where are we?" Sam asked, picking up the map,

"We are just outside of Grand Junction I think," Betsy said with another laugh.

"Yeah, we are," Dean confirmed.

Sam folds down the map, which is of Colorado and has a large red X labeled 35-111.

"You know what?" Tilly said, "maybe we shouldn't have left Stanford so soon," she added.

"Auntie Tilly, we dug around there for a week. We came up with nothing. If you wanna find the thing that killed Mom—" Harley said with a tear falling down her face
