[Simon Said]
Sam gasped, leaning over the sink in a dingy bathroom with the water running. He'd just seen a man ask for a gun, then shoot himself.
"No..." Sam said, running a hand under the water. He washed his face and scrubbed the hand through his hair. As he shut the water off and looked into the mirror, the door burst open to reveal Dean and Natalia.
"Sam, come on, zip it up," Dean said. "Let's hit the... road. What?"
Sam was breathing heavily and blinking.
Dean drove the Impala down a dark two-lane road. Sam was in the passenger's seat and Natalia was in back.
The radio announcer said, "Rockin' Nebraska. Your source for the classics, all night long."
"I don't know, man, why don't we just chill out, think about this."
Sam shut off the radio. "What's there to think about?"
"I just don't know if going to the Roadhouse is the smartest idea."
"Dean, it's another premonition. I know it. This is gonna happen, and Ash can tell us where."
"Yeah, man, but..." he glanced back at a sleeping Natalia.
"Plus it could have some connection with the demon. My visions always do."
"That's my point. There's gonna be hunters there, I don't know if, if, if going in and announcing that you're some supernatural freak with a, a demonic connection is the best thing, okay?"
"So I'm a freak now?"
Dean slapped Sam on the thigh. "You've always been a freak."
They reached the Roadhouse and Dean shook Natalia awake. She jolted up, pointing her knife and Dean lowered her hand.
"Easy, shortstop. We're here."
The siblings entered the Roadhouse, passing two men at a table cleaning weapons. One glanced at Natalia's backside and she frowned. "Eyes up here, dude. Don't stare."
Dean almost ran into Jo, who stopped, smiling.
"Just can't stay away, huh?" Jo asked.
"Yeah, looks like," Dean replied. "How you doin', Jo?"
"Where's Ash?" Sam questioned hurriedly.
"In his back room," Jo answered.
Sam brushed past her. "Great."
"And I'm fine..."
"Sorry, he's, we're... kind of on a bit of a timetable," Dean said.
As Natalia walked past, Jo grabbed her arm. "Are you with that guy you were making eyes at yet?"
Natalia shook her head. "No. Sorry. Gotta bounce."
Sam approached a rough wooden door with a sign hanging on it that read: DR. BADASS IS: IN.
Sam knocked on the door. "Ash? Hey, Ash?"
Dean and Natalia were also knocking. "Hey, Dr. Badass?"
The door was unlatched and opened a crack to reveal a naked Ash. Dean averted his eyes and covered Natalia's.
Ash poked his head out. "Sam? Dean? Natalia? Sam, Dean and Natalia."
"Hey, Ash," Sam greeted. "Um. We need your help."
"Well, hell then. Guess I need my pants." He shut the door.
The siblings returned to the main area of the Roadhouse and Ash soon joined.
