Chapter 20 Dead Man's Blood

Sam and Dean are sitting outside of a Café. Dean is flipping through a newspaper, while Sam is on his laptop. Hermione walks up to them holding two coffees and a cup of tea.

'Well, dude. Not a decent lead in all of Nebraska. What've you got?' Dean asks while folding up the paper. Hermione hands Dean his coffee and places Sam's next to his laptop.

'Well, I've been scanning Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota. Here. A woman in lowa fell 10,000 feet from an airplane and survived,' Sam answers taking a sip from his coffee, Hermione looks surprised.

'Sound more like ''That's Incredible'' than, uh, Twilight Zone,'

'Yeah,' Sam looks back at his laptop.

'Hey you know we could just keep heading east. New York. Upstate. We could drop by and see Sarah again. Huh? Cool chick man, smoking. You two seemed pretty friendly. What do you say?' Hermione rolls her eyes while taking a sip.

'Yeah, I don't know, maybe someday. But in the meantime we got a lot of work to do Dean, and you know that,'

'Yeah all right. What else you got?'

'Ahh, a man in Colorado, a local man named Daniel Elkins, was found mauled in his home,'

'Elkins? I know that name,'

'Doesn't ring a bell,' Hermione shakes her head.

'Elkins...Elkins...Elkins,' Dean mutters under his breath.

'Sound like the police don't know what to think. At first they said it was some sort of bear attack and now, they've found some signs of robbery,'

'Mm-hmm,' Dean grabs John's journal from Hermione and starts flicking through it. 'There, check it out,' Dean hands the journal to Sam and Hermione and points. ''D Elkins  970-555-0158''

'You think it's the same Elkins?' Hermione asks.

'It's a Colorado area code,' Dean answers.  

Sam, Dean and Hermione are standing in front of a cabin. Hermione moves towards the lock and with a sweep of her wand the door slowly opens. Dean and Sam walk in with their flashlights. The cabin is a big mess, everything is turned upside down papers on the ground, furniture turned upside down or are at a place they're not supposed to be.

'Looks like the maid didn't come today,' Dean points out, turning around to get a better look at the mess.

'Hey, there's salt over here. Right beside the door,' Sam points out. Dean had found Elkins journal and started to flick through it.

'You mean protection against demon salt, or ''oops I spilt the popcorn'' salt,' Dean asks.

'It's clearly a ring. You think this guy Elkins was a player?'

'Definitely,' Sam comes up behind Dean, looking at the journal Dean found. Hermione moves around the room.

'That looks a hell of a lot like Dad's,' Sam points out glancing over the words written in the journal.

'Yep, except this dates back to the 60s,' Dean takes the journal with him. Hermione moves into the other room and the boys follow her shining their flashlights around the destruction. Hermione feels a cold breeze around her, she looks up and spots the hole in the roof. 

'Whatever attacked him, it looks like there was more than one,' Sam points out judging by the size of the hole.

'Looks like he put up a hell of a fight too,'

'Yeah,' Hermione answers. They start to look around the room. Dean spots something and crouches to get a closer look at it.

'You got something?' Sam asks noticing Dean crouching to the ground.
