Sam, Dean, Amara, Aiden and I were in the bunker. Dean was cleaning a gun.

"I think she's clean," Aiden told him.

Dean put the gun on the table. "Amara, you hear from Brandon? He got anything on Ketch?"

"No," Amara answered. "Checked every hospital in a 50 mile radius. Nada."

I sighed. "Crazy son of a bitch probably pulled the bullet out with his teeth."

"Yeah," Sam agreed.

"What about Jack?" Aiden asked.

"I talked to Cas," Sam told us. "He's got nothing. It's like..." He sighed worriedly. "We gotta find something in the lore or wait for Jack to make a mistake."

"Yeah, well, the 'mistakes' are what I'm worried about," Dean told us.

My phone rang. I looked at the caller ID to see it said unknown, answering. "Yeah?"

"Ness Singer-Winchester?"

"Who's this?"

"I have something you might be interested in."

"No, we're happy with our cable provider. Thank you."

"What about your nephilim? Word on the street is he's gone rogue."

"Yeah? What street is that?"

"Hell street. Hell avenue. Just Hell, really."

Aiden whispered to us. "Demon?"

"What if I told us I had a way to find your boy? Meet me at Smile Diner at 12:45."

The demon hung up.

We walked down a city street.

"You know, this could be a trap," Aiden told us. "I mean, he could work for Asmodeus."

"Yeah, but what if he's telling the truth?" Sam asked.

"You know, after Crowley, I told myself, no more demons," I told them.

"Ness, we don't even know what this guy's deal is," Sam told me.

"Yeah, we do," Amara told us. "He's a freaking demon."

"Yeah, but you all said it yourselves, we need a miracle," Sam told us. "And maybe this is it."

"You know what 'miracles' are called from demons?" Dean asked. "I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's not 'miracles'."

"How about this?" Sam asked. "Let's hear the guy out."

"All right, and after that, can Aiden and I kill him?" Amara asked.

Dean and I nodded. "Yes."

Aiden and Amara smiled. Sam sighed.

Inside, we were sitting at the table with the demon that called me.

"The famous Winchesters," the demon told us.

"Some random demon," Aiden replied.

"Barthamus," the demon corrected. "Bart's fine. Please, sit. I ordered cherry pie."

"Well, Bart, don't know what you've heard about us, but..." I trailed off.

"Everything," Barthamus answered. "I've been following your careers for a long time. You're a real pain in the pitchfork. And the halo. Natural disrupters. We have that in common, you and I."
