the next day

Whitney, Sam and Dean are at the library trying to get some research about this mystery woman that has been killing men. The brothers are having no luck on the computers as Dean had Whitney distracted by her coloring in the coloring book that he has always kept on hand if he needs to distract his daughter. Dean is searching up "Female Murder Hitchhiking", and he finds no results. He tries again with "Female Murder Centennial Highway" with the same results, which is nothing.

"Let me try." Sam says to his brother.

"I got it." Dean says which made Sam shove his chair out of the way and takes over with the computer. Dean then hits his brother in the shoulder. 

"Dude! You're a control freak." Dean says as his brother gives him a look.

"So angry spirits are born out of violent death, right?" Sam asked his brother.

"Yeah." Dean has hesitantly to his brother.

"Well, maybe it's not murder." Sam says as he tries the search function. "Female Suicide Centennial Highway", and finds an article titled, "Suicide on Centennial", and he opens it.

"That was 1981. Constance Welch, twenty-four years old, jumps off Sylvania Bridge, drowns in the river." Sam reads as Whitney doesn't look up from her drawing a giraffe, which is particularly a pink, purple and blue giraffe. Which is definitely not the colors of a giraffe, but she doesn't care.

"Does it say why she did it?" Dean asked his brother.

"Yeah." Sam says.

"What?" Dean asked his brother, as he got distracted by his daughters off colored giraffe.

"An hour before they found her, she calls 911, apparently her two little kids are in the bathtub, she leaves them alone for a minute, and when she comes back, they aren't breathing. Both dies." Sam says as he reads the article. "Our babies were gone, and Constance just couldn't bear it', says husband Joseph Welch." Sam says as he finishes reading.

"So, this is where Constance took the swan dive." Dean says.

Whitney looked up from her drawing of her pink, purple and blue giraffe, as she put the crayons back in the little box that they came in. Dean turned his head towards his daughter as he looked at her oddly colored giraffe. Dean got distracted by the giraffe that his daughter was coloring. There was a chuckle as the father and daughter looked up to see Sam trying not to laugh at what his niece was drawing.

"I like your pink giraffe." Sam says in between laughs as Whitney gave Sam a toothless grin, as she is missing the first two of her teeth. That only made the girl smile even more. "It's cute, right Dean?" Sam asked as he looked at his brother who was too busy staring at the pink, purple and blue giraffe.

"Yeah, I love it." Dean says as Whitney's smile faltered as Dean's face changed when he saw his daughter's smile drop. "Baby, I'm sorry okay."
