Chapter 8 Bugs

A/N: Because it's Deans birthday I decided to upload another chapter so enjoy!! Sorry for the picture is a little crapy :)

           

Sam is reading a newspaper article about Dustin in front of the Oklahoma Bar . Hermione is standing next to him. A minute later, Dean comes outside, laughing and waving a wad of cash in the air.

'You know, we could get day jobs once in a while,' Sam tells Dean.

'Hunting is our day job. And the pay is crap,'

'Yeah, but hustling pool? Credit card scams? It's not the most honest thing in the world, Dean,'

'Well, let's see honest,' Dean holds out one hand. 'Fun and easy,' He holds out the other, and gestures that ''fun and easy'' outweighs ''honest. 'It's no contest. Besides, we're good at it. It's what we were raised to do,'

'Yeah, well, how we were raised was jacked,'

'Yeah, says you. We got a new gig or what?'

'Maybe. Oasis Plains, Oklahoma - not far from her. A gas company employee, Dustin Burwash, supposedly died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob,'

'Huh?'

'Human mad cow disease,' Hermione explains to Dean.

'Mad cow. Wasn't that on Oprah?' Hermione and Sam both look at Dean.

'You watch Oprah?' Sam asks. Dean is embarrassed he can't think of anything to say so he just changes the topic.

'So this guy eats a bad burger. Why is it our kind of thing?'

'Mad cow disease causes massive brain degeneration. It takes month, even years, for the damage to appear. But Dustin? Sounds like his brain disintegrated in about an hour. Maybe even less,' Hermione tells Dean.

'Okay, smart pants. That's weird,'

'Yeah. Now, it could be a disease. Or it could be something much nastier,'

'All right. Oklahoma,' They get in the car. 'Man. Work, work. No time to spend my money,' And they drive of.

The car stops at the Oklahoma Gas and Power Company building. Sam, Dean and Hermione get out of the car and approach Travis.

'Travis Weaver?' Sam asks.

'Yeah, that's right,'

'Are you the Travis who worked with Uncle Dusty?' Dean asks with a big smile.

'Dustin never mentioned nephews and a niece,'

'Really? Well, he sure mentioned you. He said you were the greatest,'

'Yeah,' Sam joins.

'Oh, he did? Huh,' Travis started smiling.

'Listen, we wanted to ask you...what exactly happened out there?'

'I'm not sure. He fell in a sinkhole, I went to the truck to get some rope, and, uh...by the time I got back...'

'What did you see?' Dean asks. 

'Nothing. Just Dustin,'

'No wounds or anything?' Sam asks.

'Well, he was bleeding...from his eyes and his ears, his nose. But that's it,'

'So you think it could be this whole mad cow thing?' Dean asks.

'I don't know. That's what the doctors are saying,'

'But if it was, he would've acted strange beforehand, like dementia, loss of motor control. You ever notice anything like that?' Sam asks.

'No. no way. But then again, if it wasn't some disease, what the hell was it?'
