"Agents Shane, Guard, and Reynolds." Kate stated confidently to the woman at the front desk. The Winchesters flashed her their fake FBI badges. She stared wide eyed at the three siblings.

"Y-yes?" She stuttered. She had short black hair and narrow brown eyes. "How can I help you?"

"We need to speak to whoever's in charge." Kate hinted.

"Um yes, that would be Miss Wood. I'll let her know that you're here." She said picking up the phone. Kate nodded a thank you and turned her attention to her surroundings.

They were in a large office building, which was the front of Oregon Canopy. The place was very eco-friendly with lots of windows to provide natural light. Everything electronic seemed to run on solar power. There was a staircase to the left of the room that went to offices upstairs. In the center of the room was a fenced off indoor garden with a  large tree in the middle. It had white bark and deep green leaves that absorbed sunshine from the skylight above.

Kate marveled at the tree. It wasn't as big as the Queen's tree, but it was average.

"Kate are you listening?" Dean questioned.

"What​? No." Kate confessed. Dean pressed his eyebrows together in frustration.

"I said, when you need to speak to someone you need to use specific names. It sounds more professional, like you know what you're doing."

"Okay."

"You know the plan?"

"Zap her with my Jedi mind trick and get out." Kate confirmed. "Easy."

"Agents," Miss. Wood sneered. She stood at the top of the staircase with a tablet in one arm and a latte in the other. She had long black hair that was pulled into a neat ponytail and wore a black dress. Her grey eyes were like the oncoming storm that she undoubtedly was.

"Miss Wood," Dean acknowledged. The siblings flashed her their FBI badges. "We'd like to ask you a few questions about the incidents in the Brownsville forest."

"Yes, of course. Right this way." She motioned with her tablet. The Winchesters followed her up the stairs and into a large office at the end of the hallway.

The office was huge, it must have been at least twice the size of Kate's room at the bunker. The walls were white and sleek with a wall of windows on the far side. The room was decorated with all sorts of plants. They were on the desk and on the floor, one of them even snaked across the ceiling.

For the ceo of a deforestation company, this lady sure likes plants.

Miss Wood sat down at her desk and began to organize files. Sam and Dean took a seat in the two chairs in front of the desk while Kate stood off to the side.

"What can I do for you?" She asked.

"You're aware of the deaths occurring on your logging site?"

"Yes I am, it's very unfortunate. We're doing what we can to help the families of the deceased."

"Do you know anyone who would want to stop your project?" Miss Wood was silent for a moment. She stared at her computer screen, clacking on the keys.

"Miss Wood." Dean called.

"Yes? I'm sorry, what did you say?"

"Miss Wood, do you have any enemies?" Sam questioned.

"Please, call me Laurel," She remarked. " To answer your question, yes I have many enemies. Plenty of people are against tearing down this forest."
