Three Weeks Later

I make my way out of the bathroom towards the living room, it being the third time this hour. My hands are pressed into my aching back and I slowly step down the stair. Sam is on the phone off to the side, him speaking incredible loudly which irritates me.

"Yeah, I hear you. All right. Well, thanks for looking. Yep, bye." He says, before hanging up the phone and turning towards Dean and I, "So Nora didn't see any pattern to the dig sites, either."

"Yeah, cause they got nothing common." I mutter, walking over to the dining table and taking a seat.

"Shouldn't you be resting?" Dean asks and I glare at him, "I'm fine."

He doesn't look convinced, but he doesn't push it, "I got nothing from local lore 50 miles in every direction of all of them. I mean, it's just old dirt. What's Dick looking for?"

The lights in the cabin begin to flicker, a coldness filling the room. The guys straighten up and I look around, suddenly on higher alert. They pull out their guns and look around, when they suddenly aim behind me.

"Hey, go easy, you idjits." Bobby says, looking between the two boys, "Sorry for the jump scare."

A weird feeling comes over me as I look at him, still not used to his presence. We worked a case a few days ago to find another hunter named Annie Hawkins. She was supposed to meet us, but never showed. Apparently she was killed in this haunted house in Bodega Bay. Anyway, after helping solve the case we saw Bobby. Except he wasn't alive, he was a ghost. He outran his reaper and decided to stay here to help us, much to our chagrin.

"So how does this work." Dean asks, putting his gun away, "I leave the cap off and you just genie your way out?"

"I wish it were that easy, the thing-" He begins when he zaps out of sight.

I sit up and look around confused, "Bobby?"

He suddenly reappears again, looking slightly disorientated, "Damn it. It's hard to stay focused, I'm still kind of worn out."

"You've been pretty busy for a dead guy." Dean says in his defence.

"All right, listen. I don't know how long before my next ghost nap, so let's just skip to the skinny. Those numbers I gave you..." He begins and I remember back to them.

"The empty lot in Cheeseville?" Dean asks and Bobby nods his head, "It ain't gonna be empty for long. I got a gander at Dick's big plan, right before he Lincolned me. They're breaking ground- What month is it?"

"Uh, April." I say, my hand resting on my stomach.

"Grounds broke." He mutters angrily, "They're building as we're yammering. Check it out yourself."

Sam takes a seat on the couch, pulling out his laptop as Bobby speaks, "It's all right. You guys missed it because you've been kind of busy killing ghosts the past few days."

I push my way up out of the seat and walk over, taking a seat on the arm of the couch to look at the laptop as Bobby continues, "But Dick is about to get into the Soulent Green business. That site will show you they're building a biotech lab. Right? Biotech, my ass. That sucker is a state of the art slaughterhouse, and we're the beef."

Dean turns and looks towards him, "Don't you think that's little bold, even for Dick?"

"I bet you no one will even notice." Bobby counters, "Cause first, he's gonna dumb us all down with turducken-style munchies. Make us docile."

"We haven't been to Biggerson's since that whole fiasco." I say, thinking back to the repulsive Turducken slammer.

"Biggerson's? He bought a list of joints ten pages long." Bobby informs us, "Next, he's gonna cure us."
