Being Alone (D. Winchester)

Caller ID : 666

At St. Louis Church.

Father Simon "Father Thompson had some unorthodox ideas, which is why the Men of Letters were interested. "

Dean asked confused "Unorthodox how? "

Sam "What exactly do you mean, "saved"? "

Father Simon" A demon is a human soul, twisted and corrupted by its time in Hell. Father Thompson believed that you could wash that taint away and restore their humanity. "

Dean "So, what, they just stay in whatever schmuck they're possessing and -- and get a ticket upstairs? "

Father Simon sighed " I wish I knew. "

I nodded "Okay, but this -- this ritual... Can cure a demon? "

Father Simon nodded" I suppose, if it worked, but that night, something went terribly wrong. The Demon escaped into the world, and that poor old woman... It was horrible. I know father Thompson kept trying. There were other possessions, experiments, but I couldn't face that -- not again. And then, a few months later... He was dead. "

Me "How'd that happen? "

Father Simon "Something tore him apart. "

Sam "Did he keep any, uh -"

He started to cough "Did he keep records or -- Uh do you have a-a bathroom, maybe?"

He couldn't stop coughing.

Father Simon pointed at a door in the back.

Sam nodded "Thanks."

He had coughed up blood. Thought no one saw but he was wrong.

Then he left.

Father Simon "Is he all right? "

Dean "Uh, no, padre. He's...pretty damn far from all right. That's why we're here. "

Father Simon shook his head  " I don't understand. "

Dean "Well, short story is, uh, Sammy there is gonna take whatever shredded your friend and every other black-eyed bitch out there, and he's gonna get rid of them for good. "

Father Simon " He is? In his condition? "

Dean "Father, over the past couple of months, I've seen him do crap that I didn't even think was possible. I mean, sure, he's miserable and he's hurting, but you know what? There's not a doubt in my mind that he's gonna cross that finish line -- not one. So, will you help us? "

Father Simon's nodded " I'll get Father Thompson's things for you. "

I nodded "Thank you."

At the bunker.

Sam walked over to us " I can't find Cas. You think he blew town? "

Dean "Sounds like him. So it turns out that, uh, Father Thompson recorded all of his demon-cure tests. This one here, this was the last one -- two days before he died. "

He started playing the recording of Father Thompson.

Father Thompson "The date is August 3, 1958. This is trial 19, hour 1. My subject is Peter Kent. Mr. Kent is the father of two young sons, and three weeks ago, he was possessed by a demon. I'm going to ask you a question now. When you crawled into Mr. Kent and ate his children, how did it feel? "

Peter Kent snarled "Orgasmic. "

Father " The first dose has been administered. "

Then he demon screamed.
