When we walk outside, Dean stops me and asks "Do you think it was as cookie cutter as it was, or...?" He glance to Skylar "Think there was some beastiality?"

I furrow my brow, before looking to Skylar and telling him "She just got out of hell. Let her adjust before you ask a million questions."

He looks to me, before stating "Not literally hell, of course."

I cock an eyebrow to him, before I notice Dana helps Skylar to her feet. I clear my throat, before speaking above normal "I don't know. We'll have to look into his finances. Find out how he paid for everything."

Dean plays along, before stating "A prostitution ring might bury quite a few people."

I motion towards the car to find an enormous black dog sits in the backseat "Why don't we head back and call Cas? Have him dig into it a bit?"

Dean hums, before we walk towards the car.

Around the time we drive away, the paramedic discovers Skylar is gone. It isn't until we're secure in the hospital room that she walks into the bathroom and transforms back.

When she steps back, she furrows her brow and asks "May I take a shower?"

Dean nods, before asking "Do you need any clothes?" Skylar nods and he digs in his bag for a button up shirt and pajama pants. He glance up to me, before asking "Have any clean underwear?"

I furrow my brow and ask "You don't?" He smirks and I groan, before toss a pair at him.

Silently, he steps towards Skylar and hands them over "Here you go." He speaks softly.

When she gives a weak smile, he looks her over "We're going to have to take a look at your back, when you're ready."

She gives a short nod, before sitting down the clothes and pulling off my jacket.

She tosses me the jacket, before turning away from us to show the grated pattern scars embedded into her back. When she turns back, she tells Dean "I'm a witch, Dean. A few burns won't kill me."

Tiredly, she picks up the clothes and steps into the bathroom. When the bathroom door locks, Dana cocks an eyebrow, before taking a seat.

Fifteen minutes later, Skylar steps out of the bathroom and looks around for a second, before going to sit at the table with Dana.

After a long moment, a small smiles plays on her lips. I glance over to Dana to find she stares at her, curiously.

Skylar looks to her and states "I can feel you staring at me."

Dana looks down, before speaking softly "I'm sorry."

Skylar looks to her, politely "It's alright."

She sits there for a moment, before she furrows her brow and stands up and walks towards the window.

She looks at the crack in the window and narrows her gaze "He's long gone. There's no benefit of staying here."

Dean furrows his brow and states "You need rest."

She takes in a deep breath, before looking to him and declaring "I need to get out of this town." She looks to us, panickedly "Right now."

Dana furrows her brow and asks "What's wrong?"

Skylar glances out the window, before turning back "Please, can we just, leave?"

I furrow my brow and ask "What do you see?" Dean gives me a confused look and I ask "You're using the window as a mirror, aren't you?"

She furrows her brow and states "We don't have time for this! We need to leave!"

I look to the window, just in time to see police cars pull into the lot. Skylar doesn't even look back as she states "It's already too late."

She looks to us, before speaking in a calm voice "We need to get down and take cover. They're about to start firing."

The instant we drop, bullets rip through the window and tear apart the back wall.

As I sit in the Impala with Skylar, I ask "How did you know that the cops would do that?"

She furrows her brow as she tells me "I was in social isolation for almost a year. I found unusual means to tune into the outside world."

I look here over and ask "You use windows to communicate?"

She shakes her head, before telling me "Can't communicate. Just checking in on others."

She looks me over, before admitting "It started last year, I started having visions." She sighs, before explaining "I saw my boyfriend die, in my sleep. Started as dreams, then I started seeing them while I was awake."

I furrow my brow and state "Dana told us you saw Alicia and Max in your dreams."

She takes in a deep breath, before stating "It was the night we busted in on that familia factory in Seattle."

I glance to her, before asking "What brought you down to Texas?"

She furrows her brow and states "I was in Sherman, on a case, when Alicia made headlines in Dallas."

She shrugs, before declaring "Came down. Found Max at a bar, and went home with him."

I cock an eyebrow to her, before she sighs "I was just about to stab him in the heart, while he was asleep, when I got a vision, screamed out in pain, and gave myself away."

I clear my throat, before asking "What was the vision?"

She shakes her head "I was dying." She looks at me tiredly "Only, it wasn't me, because I was the one doing the stabbing."

She gives a weak smile "And it wasn't Max, either."

She sighs, before declaring "Generally, whenever I touch someone's skin, I see how they die."

I cock an eyebrow to her "Generally?"

She shrugs, before stating "I can't read Dana's." She shrugs "I can't read Max." She's looks me over "And I can't read you or your brother."

She furrows her brow and declares "It's very new to me, really. It started last month."

I give her a confused look "How many people could you have read?"

She takes in a deep breath, before declaring "I've read nearly a hundred."

I furrow my brow and ask "Does that have anything to do with what Dean and I found in the basement?"

She sighs, before telling me "The cops came after us for a reason."

I nod, before asking "Wanna talk about it?" She shakes her head and I nod, before asking "What exit are we taking?"
