They get to where they knew Mary was staying since Dean got a voicemail from her.

"Mom?" Dean calls, the group going into the motel room and looking around. "Mom. Well, looks like she hasn't been here for a while."

"Yeah. All her stuff is gone. Did she say she was moving on or--" Sam asks.

"No, I told you what she said." Dean says. "She said, "Dean, call me. We have a problem." And then that was it. She didn't sound happy."

"Okay, well, when she's not here, she's been bunking with the Brits. So maybe--"

"Well, dude, I've called Mick, like, six times. He's been radio silent since they sent him to London." Dean dials a number on his phone. "Ketch. Calling to see if my mom's with you." "It's Dean." "Winchester." "Because I'd like to speak to her, that's why." "No, I'm not being terse." "Look, if you haven't seen her, do you know where she is?" "No, I'm not being curt either." "Look, I don't have time for Manners 101 from you, okay? If she's with you, I wanna know about it." "Fine."

He hangs up.

"Such a dick." Dean says.

"And?" Sam asks.

"He says he hasn't seen mom in over a week." Dean says.

"But mom called two days ago, said she was working a case with him." Sam says.

"Which means he's lying." Dean states.

"But why would he--" Sam's cut off by his phone ringing and he takes it out. "Jody." He answers. "Jody, hey. No, what? Uh, no, we hadn't heard."

"Mom?" Dean asks and Sam shakes his head.

"Um, when? What the hell happened? Oh, no. No. I-I, yeah, thanks for letting me know. Bye." Sam hangs up.

"Who?" Dean asks.

"Eileen." Sam states.

"How?" Dean asks.

"She was, uh, mauled by a wild animal in a wooded area, that doesn't have animals that do that, in South Carolina." Sam explains.

"But I thought she was in Ireland."

"Dean, that's the second hunter death we've heard about in two weeks." Sam says.

"I know. But two doesn't make a pattern." Dean says.

"Three would." Sam says.

"Meaning?" Dean asks.

"Mom's a hunter and no one knows where she is." Sam says.

They're at the post office, getting mail, only Dean inside.

"Yeah. Yeah, no, I appreciate it. Thanks." Sam hangs his phone up.

They spot Dean walking over, the man holding their mail.

"So I've been calling around about all of the hunters that died. Um, every one of them had years of experience." Sam informs.

"We got a letter from Eileen." Dean states.

"Eileen?" Sam asks.

"She sent it four days ago. It went snail mail cause she thought that her phone and her computer were both hacked. She left Ireland because she was scared." Dean states.

"Scared of what?" Sam asks.

"Well, after she accidentally killed that-- that Brit douche, Renny, she thought that the British Men of Letters were on her."

""I know they're following me, watching me. They tapped my phone. I found a microphone in my room. I hate to be all girly, but could I bunk with you guys for a few days until I sort this out?"" Sam reads the letter.
