( SEE YOU AGAIN )

CHICAGO, ILINOIS

      A young woman, Meredith, is walking home while listening to music on her iPod. A tall, burly man bumps into her. She gives him a disgusted look and continues to walk. Shortly after turning the corner, her iPod stops playing music. Meredith takes off her headphones.

      "Great." She says. A strong wind begins to blow around her. Garbage and leaves scatter everywhere. "Hello?"

      Nobody answers. She tries to ignore the wind and keeps walking. As she nears her apartment, she looks over her shoulder and sees the shadow of a man on the wall of a building.

      The silhouette begins to follow her. Meredith breaks into a run. She dashes across the street and finally reaches her apartment. Frantically, she grabs her keys and rushes to find the right one. She finds the key and opens the door, then goes inside and slams it shut.

      Meredith bursts through the door and locks it behind her. She enters a code into the alarm system on the wall.

      "System disarmed." It says. Meredith enters another code. "System armed." She leaves the room and goes to the kitchen to get a beer after setting down her bag and keys.

      Meredith then moves to the living room and listens to the messages on her answering machine.

      "Hey, Meredith. It's Kristen. You have to tell me what happened last night. Call me."

      The beep sounds and another message begins to play. While Meredith listens to the message, the shadow begins to form on the wall of the apartment.

      It begins as a swirling cloud of smoke and morphs into the silhouette of a tall, skinny creature. The creature's shadow slowly moves towards Meredith's shadow on the wall. It sticks its long, sharp-nailed fingers through her chest.

      Meredith's blood splatters on the wall, and her shadow falls to the ground. The screen goes black.

ONE WEEK LATER

      Sam, Elena and Dean stop their car across the street and get out. Sam and Dean are dressed as employees of the alarm system company and Elena their manager.

      Sam made her look the part to be more convincing. She wears a high ponytail and a pair of non prescribed glasses. She also wore a skin tight dress with a blazer.

      Dean gets a toolbox from the trunk of the car, and they proceed towards the apartment. "All right, Dean. This is the place." Sam says.

      "You know, I've gotta say Dad and me did just fine without these stupid costumes. I feel like a high school drama dork." Dean says and smiles. "What was that play that you did? What was it – Our Town. Yeah, you were good, it was cute."

      Elena smiles. "You were in a play?" She asks.

      "It was cute." Dean jokes.

      "Look, you wanna pull this off or not?" Sam asks.

      "I'm just sayin', these outfits cost hard-earned money, okay?" Dean says.

      "Whose?" Sam asks.

      "Ours. You think credit card fraud is easy?" Dean asks. They all make their way to the apartment. Later, Sam, Dean, Elena and the landlady enter.
