 "I told you I was crazy." The lady said.

"Bana or Norton?" Dean asked for the actor. What the hell was he doing?

"Oh, no, those movies were terrible. The TV Hulk."

"Lou Ferrigno."

"Yes."

"Spiky-hair Lou Ferrigno." Why did it matter on his hair, Dean?

"Yes." She confirmed yet again.

"Huh." I looked at Dean almost to tell him 'Enough of your little talk about actors get back to the job.'

"You think I'm crazy." 

 "No. Uh, no, it's just...is there, uh, would there be any reason that Lou Ferrigno, the Incredible Hulk, would have a grudge against your husband?"

"No."

"No." We were done there and went back to the hotel to do more research. Dean was on the laptop and I went to the house and back to report what I saw.

"Hey." I said after coming into our room.

"Find anything?" That was a nice greeting.

"Well, uh, I saw the house." 

"And?" He waited for me to answer.

"And there is a giant eight-foot-wide hole where the front door used to be. Almost like, uh-"

"A Hulk-sized hole." He filled in.

"Maybe. What do you got?"

"Well, it turns out that Bill Randolph had quite the temper. He's got two counts of spousal battery, bar brawls, and court-ordered anger management sessions. You might say you wouldn't like him when he's angry."

"So a hothead getting killed by TV's greatest hothead. Kinda sounds like just desserts, doesn't it?" Dean snorted. "It's all starting to make sense."

"How is it starting to make sense?"

"Well, I found something else at the crime scene." I pulled out a bunch of candy wrappers out of his pocket. "Candy wrappers." I dropped them onto the floor. "Lots and lots of them."

"Just desserts, sweet tooth, screwing with people before you kill 'em... we're dealing with the Trickster, aren't we?"

"Sure looks like it."

"Good. I've wanted to gank that mother since Mystery Spot." I remembered the time Dean was killed over and over and that it was always Tuesday. Ugh.

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure."

"No, I mean are you sure you wanna kill him?"

"Son of a bitch didn't think twice about icing me a thousand times."

"No, I know, I mean I'm just saying-"

"What are you saying? If you don't want to kill him, then what?"

"Talk to him."

"What?" He looked as if I went crazy.

"Think about it, Dean. He's one of the most powerful creatures we've ever met. Maybe we can use him." 

"You're serious."

"Yeah." 

"Ally with the Trickster."

"Yup."

"A bloody, violent monster, and you wanna be Facebook friends with him? Nice, Sammy." Now I was thinking this over.
