∞ Apartment Building, Day ∞

Dean parked the Impala across the street from an apartment building. The three got out, looking like employees of an alarm system company. Dean went to the trunk, opened it, grabbed a toolbox, and closed it.

They walked towards the apartment.

"All right, this is the place" informed Sam to his brothers

Ethan looked up at the apartment building.

"You know, I've gotta say, Dad, Ethan and me did just fine without these stupid costumes, right? " Dean nudged Ethan.

Ethan looked at them," Yeah, but I like these costumes".

Sam smirked at Dean

Dean looked ahead, "I feel like a high school drama dork" he smiled before turning to Sam, " What was that play you did? " he turned to Ethan who was now smiling too, "What was it?" asked Dean. "Our Town" answered Ethan. "Our town" he turned to Sam " you were good, it was cute"

" He was perfect for the role too" added Ethan who chuckled afterwards.

Sam looked at the two, "Look, you wanna pull this off or not?"

"I'm just sayin', these outfits cost hard-earned money, okay?" said Dean

"Whose?" asked Sam

" Ours. You think credit card fraud is easy? "

∞ Later ∞

The landlady led them in an apartment.

"Thanks for letting us look around" thanked Ethan

"Well, the police said they were done with the place, so... " She walked further in, followed Ethan and Sam.

Dean closed the door and noticed the door chain was broken. He followed the three into the living room and saw spots of blood on the carpet.

"You guys said you were with the alarm company?" questioned the landlady

" That's right" said Sam

" Well, no offense, but your alarm's about as useful as boobs on a man"

Sam and Dean exchanged a glance while Ethan squinted at her looking 'slightly' confused.

"Well, that's why we're here. To see what went wrong and stop it from happening again" said Dean

Ethan nodded

" Now, ma'am, you found the body?" asked Sam

" Yeah" confirmed the landlady

" Right after it happened?"

"No, few days later. Meredith's work called—she hadn't shown up. I knocked on the door. That's when I noticed the smell"

" Were there any windows open? Any signs of a break-in?" asked Ethan.

" No, windows were locked, front door was bolted. Chain was on the door, we had to cut it just to get in" said the landlady

" And the alarm was still on?" clarified Dean

" Like I said, bang-up job your company's doin' "

" Yeah...Have you seen any overturned furniture, broken glass, any signs of struggle?" asked Ethan.

The landlady shook her head, " Everything was in perfect condition—except Meredith"

" And what condition was Meredith in? " asked Sam

" Meredith was all over. In pieces. The guy who killed her must have been some kind of a whackjob. But I tell you, if I didn't know any better, I'd have said a wild animal did it" she explained
