They pull up out the front of the crime scene. They all get out and dean quickly picks up Liddy who had let herself out of her car seat again. They looked around the area in case something stood out but everything looked pretty normal.

Rebecca turn to dean "are you sure this is ok?" Dean nods "yeah, I am an officer of the law." When Rebecca's not look dean looks down to see Liddy with her hand over her mouth trying not to laugh. She thought that was so funny. Dean doesn't like cops. He starts walking towards the house and pokes his tongue out at her. She copies and does it right back making him smirk.

When they got to the door Rebecca looked nervously at Liddy. Sam noticed "something wrong?" She nods "yeah, it's umm... not exactly kid friendly in there. I don't want her being traumatised by what's in there" Dean nods "Liddy hide your face." Liddy nods quickly and shivers her head against deans neck with her eyes closed.

Sam and dean nod to each other and open the door. When they step through, Dean new what she ment and was glad she warned them "keep your head there Bub. No peaking," she has he thumb in her mouth so she just nods against his neck with her eyes still closed.

Rebecca doesn't follow them in straight away. Sam turns back to see how upset she looks "beck you want to stay outside?" She looked up at him and shakes her head no " no, I wanna help." She slips under the tape and into the room.

Dean search's around as Sam questions Rebecca "tell us what else the police said." Rebecca tries to remember everything they said "well, there's no sign of a break in. They say that Emily let her attacker in. And they lawyers, they're already talking about a plea-bargain......oh god" she starts to get overwhelmed by the blood everywhere.

Sam feels bad for his friend "look, beck, if Zach didn't do this, it means someone else did. Any idea who?" Rebecca shakes her head for a second before she remembers "ummm, there was something. About a week before, somebody broke in here. They stole some clothes. Zach's clothes. The police, they don't think it's anything. I mean, we;re not that far from downtown. I mean, sometimes people get robbed."

Liddy says loud enough for everyone to hear "puppy is mad. D why puppy is mad?" Dean looks over at Sam who walks off. He goes to the front door with Liddy and see's the dog really going nuts at them. Rebecca walks up beside them and sees the don't "you know, that used to be the sweetest dog." Dean frowned "what happened?" Rebecca shrugged "he just changed."

Dean keeps watching the dog "do you remember when he changed?" Rebecca thinks "I guess around the time of the murder." Dean nods and walks off to keep checking. Liddy whispers to dean "monster made puppy mad. Puppy no like it" dean thought hard about what she said, she could be on to something. He smirked a tiny bit at her smartness.

Dean walks over to the kitchen where Sam was stairing at something "so the neighbours dog went psycho right around the time Zach's girlfriend was killed." Sam nodded "animals can sense the paranormal." Dean nodded back "Liddy already reckons a monster made the puppy mad." Dean smirked as Sam smiled down at her as well. "Maybe Fido saw something" Liddy didn't like the name dean gave the puppy so she mumbled "nooo, boss" dean scrunched up his nose "you want to name the dog boss?" He shook his head as Sam continued "so you think maybe this is our kind of problem?"

Dean shakes his head not wanting to be wrong "no, probably not. But we should look at the Securitate just to make sure." Sam nodded with a smirk "yeah." Dean nodded as well "yeah" Liddy whispered again "noooo, it monster." Dean just patted her back, not wanting her to get worked up and start yelling it for everyone to hear.

Rebecca walked back over to them and dean asked "so the tape, the security footage? Think maybe your lawyer could get it? I don't have that jurisdiction." Rebecca smiled sheepishly "I've already got it. I didn't wanna say something in front of the cop." She motioned to dean and smiled at Sam as dean laughed. "I stole it off the lawyer's desk. I just had to see it for myself." She looked down feeling guilty. Dean nodded "alright. Let's go." He motioned for Rebecca to lead the way back to the car and followed her out.

Once outside dean said Liddy could open her eyes now. She did quickly but them blinked really fast because of the brightness outside. "D... it monster. Changy monster." Dean smirked at how cute she is trying to be a smart little hunter. He didn't take her seriously though since in his mind there's no way she could know what they're dealing with.Dean quickly got Liddy buckled back in to her seat and they headed off to Rebecca's house to watch the security footage.

Once they got there, they all went inside and got settled in. Dean made sure to keep Liddy with him this time. She started squirming, wanting to go play. She looked up at him with puppy dog eyes "peas D. I play." Dean shook his head making Sam laugh "oh no. Not falling for that again. I'm not running around chasing your nudy butt. Your staying right here.

Rebecca sat down with them and started playing the video. They sat forward paying close attention to the screen. Liddy thought it was a movie "pop?" Dean tried not to laugh at her asking for pop corn. "Not a movie Bub, it's work. Shush ok?" She nodded and seriously face the screen as if she even knew what they were looking for.

They see Zach enter the view of the camera "there he is." Rebecca said not taking her eyes off the screen. Dean questions "2204, that's just after 10. You said time of death was about 10:30." Rebecca nodded "our lawyers hired some kind of video expert.  He says the tape's authentic. It wasn't tampered with."

Liddy watch's closely and noticed a flashing. Sam called out "ahh hey, beck, can we take those beer now?" Rebecca was slightly confused "oh, sure." She got up and left. As she got to the door way Sam called out again "hey ah, maybe some sandwiches too?" She laughs at him "what do you think this is, hooters?"

As she walked out dean turned to Sam "I wish," Liddy looks up at him "hoot?" Dean shakes his head "you are never working there. Soo what is it?" Sam quickly got the footage to the Sam part Liddy had seen something. Zach's eyes flash in the camera Liddy claps at being right "sparkle"

Dean frowns "maybe it's just a camera flare," Sam shakes his head "that's not like any flare I've ever Sean." Liddy holds her hands up making noises "rawr rawr... monster" the boys watch her then look back at each other "you know, a lot of cultures believe a photo can catch a glimpse of the soul." Dean nods "right."

"Remember that dog that was freaking out? Maybe he saw this. Maybe this is some kinda dark double of Zach's, something that looks like him but isn't." Dean finishes "like a doppelgänger." Sam nods "yeah. That sure explains how he was in two places at once."

Rebecca came back at this time and they all sat down to have a drink and eat the food she made. She brough a cup of milk for Liddy. Dean grabs her bag and pulls out her sippy cut and pours it from the glass to her cup then gives it to her and rips up the sandwich into tiny pieces although he's sure she will just pull it apart and eat everything separate.

After eating the guys say it's time to head off to the hotel and they would be back the next day. They head out and Liddy quickly falls asleep in the back of the car as they drove to there motel. When they got there dean carefully picks Liddy up while Sam gets the door. Dean made quick work of getting her ready for bed and tucked in so they could get started on research for the night.
