Sam was in the bathroom and he gasped. He was leaning over the sink in a dingy bathroom, the water running after having a vision.

"No..." Sam said. He ran a hand under the water and washed his face, scrubbing the hand through his hair. As he shut the water off and looked up into the mirror, the door burst open to reveal Dean.

"Sam, come on, zip it up. Let's hit the... road. What?" Dean asked. Sam was breathing heavily and blinking.

Dean was driving the Impala, Sam was in the passenger's seat and I was in the back, down a dark two-lane road. The radio was playing.

"Rockin' Nebraska. Your source for the classics, all night long." the radio announcer said.

"I don't know, man, why don't we just chill out, think about this." Dean said. Sam shut off the radio.

"What's there to think about?" Sam asked.

"I just don't know if going to the Roadhouse is the smartest idea." Dean said.

"Dean, it's another premonition. I know it. This is gonna happen, and Ash can tell us where." Sam said.

"Yeah, man, but..." I said.

"Plus it could have some connection with the demon. My visions always do." Sam said.

"That's my point. There's gonna be hunters there, I don't know if, if, if going in and announcing that you're some supernatural freak with a, a demonic connection is the best thing, okay?" Dean said.

"So I'm a freak now?" Sam asked. Dean slapped Sam on the thigh.

"You've always been a freak." Dean said.

We got to the roadhouse. Dean, Sam, and I entered, passing two men at a table cleaning weapons. Dean almost ran into Jo, who stopped, smiling.

"Just can't stay away, huh?" Jo said.

"Yeah, looks like. How you doin', Jo?" Dean asked.

"Where's Ash?" Sam asked, hurried.

"In his back room." Jo said. Sam brushed past her.

"Great." Sam said.

"And I'm fine..." Jo said.

"Sorry, he's, we're... kind of on a bit of a timetable." I said and ran off after Sam.

Sam, Dean, and I approached a rough wooden door with a sign hanging on it that read, 'Dr. Badass is: in' Sam knocked on the door.

"Ash? Hey, Ash?" I said. Dean was also knocking.

"Hey, Dr. Badass?" Dean asked. The door was unlatched and opened a crack to reveal Ash, who was naked. Dean averted his eyes and I looked up at the ceiling.

"Sam? Dean? Ali? Sam, Ali, and Dean." Ash said.

"Hey Ash. Um. We need your help." Sam said.

"Well, hell then. Guess I need my pants." Ash said and he shut the door.

The boys and I went back to the front of the roadhouse. Ash was sitting at a table with his laptop open, looking at the hand-drawn sketch of the bus logo from Sam's vision. Sam sat across from him; Dean stood behind, and I was leaning on the table with a beer.

"Well, I got a match. It's the logo from the Blue Ridge bus lines in Guthrie, Oklahoma." Ash said.

"Okay. Do me a favor - check Guthrie for any demonic signs, or omens, or anything like that." Sam said.

"You think the demon's there?" Ash asked.

"Yeah, maybe." I said.

"Why would you think that?" Ash asked.
