047. road kill

The brothers are talking about the case they're on while Dean drives down the dark road. Dean suddenly slams on the brakes.

"Holy--!" He exclaims.

"You've got to help me." The woman who ran in front of the car says. She goes to the passenger side and pounds on Sam's window until he rolls it down. "Please. Please!"

"All right, all right. Calm down, calm down. Tell us what happened." Sam says.

They're parked on the side of the road and the four adults are standing around it while the girls are still inside, but Ophelia has the window rolled down a bit so they can hear.

Libby is half asleep so she couldn't really care less at the moment, but Ophelia pays attention to the four.

"I-I swerved, a-and we crashed. And when I came to, the car was wrecked and my husband was missing. I went looking for him, but that's when the man from the road, he... he started chasing me." The woman explains.

"Did he look like he lost a fight with a lawn mower?" Dean asks.

"How did you know that?" The woman asks.

"Lucky guess." Dean says.

"Ma'am, what's your name?" Sam asks.

"Molly. Molly McNamara." She informs and the siblings share a discreet look.

"I think maybe you should come with us. We'll take you back into town." Sam says.

"I can't. I have to find David. He might have gone back to the car." Molly says.

"We should get you somewhere safe first. Then Dean, Natalie, and I will come back. We'll look for your husband." Sam tells her.

"No. I'm not leaving here without him. Would you just take me back to my car, please?" Molly asks.

"Of course. Come on." Sam says.

Dean parks the Impala near the crash site of Molly's car and the four adults get out, Dean telling Ophelia and Libby to stay in the car.

After a few minutes they return and get in, Dean starting to drive again.

"We're supposed to be in Lake Tahoe." Molly says, sitting in the backseat with the three Winchester girls.

"You and David?" Natalie asks.

"It's our five year anniversary." Molly states.

"A hell of an anniversary." Dean says sarcastically.

"Right before, we were having the dumbest fight. It was the only time we ever really argued... when we were stuck in the car." Molly says.

"Yeah. I know how that goes." Sam says, laughing a little and Dean scowls at him. Dean glances in the rearview mirror seeing Natalie nodding in agreement.

"You know the last thing I said to him? I called him a jerk. Oh, God. What if that's the last thing I said to him?" Molly worries.

"Molly... we're gonna figure out what happened to your husband. I promise." Sam says.

The radio starts making weird noises before playing "House of the Rising Sun".

"Did you--?" Dean asks.

"No." Sam shakes his head.

"What is this, like a Jeepers Creepers situation?" Natalie asks.

"I was afraid you'd say that." Dean says.
