The investigations had led them to the comic book store. A little bell dinged to announce their arrival as the four of them entered, and a big chubby guy looked over at them, watching as they walked toward him and pulled their FBI badges. "Uh... can I help you?" He asked, looking the four of them over curiously.
"Sure hope so. Agents DeYoung, Shaw, Rose, and Johnson," Dean introduced the four of them. "Just need to ask you a few questions," He said with a nod.
"Have you noticed anything strange in the building, last couple of days?" Alayna asked.
"Like what?" He asked.
"Well, some other tenants reported flickering lights," Karoline came to her rescue and he shrugged.
"Uh, I don't think so. Why?"
"What about noises? Any skittering in the walls? Kind of like rats?" Sam pressed, and he raised an eyebrow in the Winchester's direction.
"And the FBI is investigating a rodent problem?" He asked skeptically, the look on his face showing them that he wasn't convinced by their line of questioning. Sam pressed on.
"What about cold spots? Feel any sudden drops in temperature?"
The man suddenly smacked the counter. "I knew it! You're LARPing, aren't you?" He asked, his big round face breaking into a grin.
"Excuse me?" Karoline asked, frowning.
"You're fans."
"Fans of what?" Alayna questioned, starting to feel like she'd completely missed something, at the same time Dean said. "What is "LARPing"?"
"Like you don't know," he laughed, taking in their confusion. "Live-Action Role-Play! And pretty hardcore, too."
"I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about," Dean said, shaking his head.
"You're asking questions like the building's haunted. Like those guys and girls from the books. What are they called? Uh... Supernatural. Two guys and two girls, use fake IDs with rock and other classic culture aliases, hunt down ghosts, demons, vampires. What are their names? Uh... Steve, Dirk, Carol, and Anna?" He shook his head. "Uh, Sal, Dane, Kate, and Angel?"
"Sam... Dean, Karoline, and Alayna?" Sam asked with a sinking feeling in his stomach.
"That's it!" He exclaimed with a nod.
Karoline blinked, searching for something to latch on to. "You're saying this is a book?"
"Books," he clarified. "It was a series. Didn't sell a lot of copies, though. Kind of had more of an underground cult following," he said, moving to a table that had a sign reading 'bargain bin.' The four hunters followed him and watched as he picked through the titles. "Let's see. Um... Ah. Yeah... That's the first one, I think," he said, handing Alayna a book.
She turned it over in her hand and read the cover. Supernatural, by Carver Edlund. She stared at the cover, it was like a cross between a Fabio romance, and Goosebumps. What really caught her attention was the immaculate portrayal of the Impala. Flipping it to the back cover, She read the blurb out loud, "On a 'lonely California highway, a mysterious woman in white lures men to their deaths."?" Looking up to see the guy nodding at her with a smile.
Sam swallowed hard - what were the chances of that? "Uh, I'm gonna need all the copies of Supernatural you've got," Sam said, looking urgently at Dean and the girls.
Dean was lying on the bed next to about ten copies of the different books in the Supernatural series, flipping through yet another book that they had acquired during their recent investigations of a haunting. A frown crossed his face again, followed by a grin as he looked up at Karoline and then back at the book, the words 'Road 666' written on the top.
