A young woman is taking up posters, Max, Dean and Sam start walking towards her.

"I'll bet you that's her," Dean says.

"Yeah" Sam replies as they walk up to her.

"You must be Amy," Dean says, the girl looks at the three of them.

"Yeah."

"Yeah, Troy told us about you. We're his uncles and aunt. I'm Dean, this is Sammy, and this is Maxi."

"He never mentioned you to me," Amy says walking away, the three walk with her.

"Well, that's Troy, I guess. We're not around much, we're up in Modesto" Max says.

"So, we're looking for him too, and we're kinda asking around" Sam adds, another young woman, comes up to Amy and puts a hand on her arm."Hey, are you ok?" the young woman asks."Yeah" Amy replies."You mind if we ask you a couple questions?" Max asks. 

*Time skip*

The five are sitting in a booth, Dean, Sam with Max squished between her brothers, opposite Amy and her friend.

"I was on the phone with Troy He was driving home. He said he would call me right back, and... he never did" Amy says.

"He didn't say anything strange, or out of the ordinary?" Sam asks Amy shakes her head.

"No. Nothing, I can remember."

"I like your necklace" Max says, Amy holds the pendant she's wearing, a pentagram in a circle, and looks down at it.

"Troy gave it to me. Mostly to scare my parents—" Amy laughs "—with all that devil stuff"

Max laughs a little and looks down, then up. Dean and Sam look at her.

"Actually, it means just the opposite. A pentagram is a protection against evil. Really powerful. I mean, if you believe in that kind of thing."

"Ok. Thank you, Unsolved Mysteries" Dean says, Max rolls her eyes, Dean leans forward

"here's the deal, ladies. The way Troy disappeared, something's not right. So, if you've heard anything..." Amy and her friend look at each other

"what is it?"

"Well, it's just... I mean, with all these guys going missing, people talk" Amy's friend shakes her head.

"What do they talk about?" Sam, Dean and Max speak in sync

"It's kind of this local legend. This one girl? She got murdered out on Centennial, like decades ago" Dean looks at Sam and Max, who watch Amy's friend attentively, nodding.

"well, supposedly she's still out there she hitchhikes, and whoever picks her up? Well, they disappear forever" Max leans back her hand on her chin.

A web browser is open to the archive search page for the Jericho Herald.

The words "Female Murder Hitchhiking" are typed into the search box. Dean clicks, and the screen tells him there are.

"(0) Result"Dean replaces

"Hitchhiking" with "Centennial Highway" with the same response. Sam and Max are sitting next to him, watching.

"Let me try," Sam says, Dean smacks Sam's hand.

"I got it" Sam shoves Dean's chair out of the way and takes over, Max giggles

"dude!" Dean hits Sam on the shoulder

"you're such a control freak."

"So angry spirits are born out of violent death, right?" Sam says looking at Max .

"Yeah" she replies.

"Well, maybe it's not murder" Sam replaces "Murder" with "Suicide" and finds an article entitled "Suicide on Centennial" Dean glances at Sam as he opens the article, dated April 25, 1981.

"This was 1981. Constance Welch, twenty-four years old, jumps off Sylvania Bridge, drowns in the river" Max says reading off the screen, there's a picture of Constance.

"Does it say why she did it?"

"Yeah"Max replies.

"What?"

"An hour before they found her, she calls 911. Apparently, her two little kids are in the bathtub. She leaves them alone for a minute, and when she comes back, they aren't breathing. Both die" Dean raises his eyebrows.

"Hmm."

"Our babies were gone, and Constance just couldn't bear it,' said husband Joseph Welch" Dean points to a picture.

"The bridge look familiar to you?" Dean asks.

*Time skip*

The three walk along the bridge, then stop to lean on the railing and look down at the river

"So, this is where Constance took the swan dive," Dean says."So, you think Dad would have been here?" Sam asks, looking over at Dean.

"Well, he's chasing the same story and we're chasing him" Max replies, Dean continues walking Sam and Max follow.

"Ok, so now what?" Sam asks.

"Now we keep digging until we find him. Might take a while" Dean says shrugging, Sam stops.

"Dean, I told you, I've gotta get back by Monday—" Dean turns around.

"Monday. Right. The interview."Yeah."

"Yeah, I forgot. You're really serious about this, aren't you? You think you're just going to become some lawyer? Marry your girl?"

"Maybe. Why not?"

"Does Jessica know the truth about you? I mean, does she know about the things you've done?" Sam steps closer to Dean.

"No, and she's not ever going to know."

"Well, that's healthy. You can pretend all you want, Sammy. But sooner or later you're going to have to face up to who you really are" Dean turns around and keeps walking Sam and Max follow.

"And who's that?"

"You're one of us" Sam hurries to get in front of Dean.

"No. I'm not like you. This is not going to be my life."

"You have a responsibility to—"

"To Dad? And his crusade? If it weren't for pictures I wouldn't even know what Mom looks like. And what difference would it make? Even if we do find the thing that killed her, Mom's gone. And she isn't coming back."

"Sam..." Max says sadly, Dean grabs Sam by the collar and shoves him up against the railing of the bridge

"Dean" there's a long pause."Don't talk about her like that" Dean mutters as he releases Sam and walks away. He sees Constance standing at the edge of the bridge

"Sam, Max" they come to stand next to Dean. Constance looks over at them, then steps forward off the edge They run to the railing and look over.

"Where'd she go?" Max asks.

"I don't know" Sam replies, behind them, the Impala's engine starts, and its headlights come on, they turn to look.

"What the—" Dean stops mid-sentence.

"Who's driving your car?" Dean pulls the keys out of his pocket and jingles them Sam glances at them The car jerks into motion, heading straight for them They turn and run.

"Sam? Dean? Go! Go!" Max shouts running behind the two, the car is moving faster than they are, when it gets too close, Sam and Dean dive over the railing and Max jumps the other way The car comes to a halt.
