I guess you can't really say that Sam "picked me up" for our date that night, seeing as we were staying in the same motel room. But he was already showered by the time I got back to the room, and he got ready in the bedroom while I took my time getting ready in the bathroom. I had found a black backless dress at a thrift store (I was saving my dollars since I was unable to use a debit card), and some cute shoes with a tiny kitten heel (in case I had to run, which wasn't out of the question when hanging out with either Winchester). I'm kind of a wash-and-wear girl, plus I hadn't thought to bring a blow-dryer while fleeing from demons, so I pulled my hair into a short side ponytail, did the makeup thing, added a few extra layers of mascara and some perfume, and emerged from the bathroom.

Sam was sitting at the table. He closed his laptop and stood up as I came out. He looked amazing. He had on a deep grey button up shirt with his sleeves rolled up partway and two buttons undone at his neck, some black slacks, and he'd found a pair of black and grey wingtips somewhere. I didn't peg him for a shoe guy, but I hadn't known him long. His hair just brushed the collar of his shirt.

He apparently thought I look spectacular as well, because he just looked at me for a few seconds before clearing his throat and saying "You look amazing."

"I dunno, Sam, you might be showing me up. You look pretty good too." I winked and he smiled his huge smile. "Where are we going?" I asked as we exited the room. He locked up behind us and opened the passenger door for me on our "borrowed" car.

"It's a surprise." He said, sliding into the driver's seat. To be honest, we were both way to tall to be driving around in a Toyota Yaris, but it was nondescript and once we'd switched the plates out, it was pretty safe as far as stolen cars go.

"You spend a lot of time in Tulsa?" I asked, smiling. "You know where all the good places are?"

He chuckled. "Nah. I've been here a few times, but you know how Dean is about his diner food. And Biggerson's." He paused. "He definitely got over the Biggerson's phobia from a few years ago."

"Did something happen with Biggerson's?" I asked. His eyes slid towards me, like he was trying to decide how much to tell me.

He shrugged, and I could see him mentally say "fuck it" and start talking. "Yeah. Dick Roman- the Presidential hopeful a few years ago who bought up all those companies. You remember him?"

I nodded. "Kind of douchey, right?"

Sam nodded. "Extremely douchey. But, yeah, he was a monster that Cas accidentally let out from purgatory when he was playing God, and Biggerson's was where they tested products on people."

"Wait wait wait... Dick Roman went missing, so I'm assuming that was you guys." I said and Sam nodded. "But Cas was God? And God is missing? And Cas let Dick Roman out of purgatory? There's a purgatory?"

"There's a Heaven and a Hell, too. Trust me on that." He continued. "Purgatory is full of monsters. And at one point, Dean and Cas, but they got out. And Dick Roman was originally just a douchebag- a monster decided to become his clone and eat him."

"Oh." I nodded. "Another day at the office."

"Pretty much." Sam smiled and kept driving, the headlights from other cars casting shadows across his face.

"YOU SAID FOUR DJINN, GARTH" Dean yelled as the two hunters ran down a long corridor. "I COUNT SEVEN."

"I miscalculated." Garth responded, yanking the door at the end of the hallway open, and slamming it shut behind them. He and Dean barricaded it with a large armoire.
