Let Me Down Slowly Δ SPN [ 2 ]

chapter four

Sam and Evie are in the motel watching TV when Dean walks in with food.

"What are you watching?" Dean asks.

"Just trying to catch up." Sam says, turning the TV off. "So... Mel Gibson really took a turn this past year, huh?"

"Or he's possessed. Seriously, think about it." Dean says, tossing Sam his food. He tosses Evie her food, but she fails to catch it, instead getting hit in the head with it. Dean winces as Sam makes sure she's okay. "Sorry, shortcake. Should've given you a warning.

"I thought we weren't supposed to throw food." Evie mumbles with a pout.

"We're not." Sam affirms.

"I didn't throw. I tossed." Dean says. Sam rolls his eyes. "So, I just got off the blower with Bobby."

"Oh, yeah? You got anything else on this, uh, 'Mother of All' thing?" Sam asks.

"Uh, no, nothing solid. He says it's quiet." Dean says.

"Quiet like quiet or quiet like too quiet?" Sam asks, looking at his phone after it dinged.

"When is it ever just quiet?" Dean asks.

"Right." Sam agrees. "Hmm."

"What?" Dean asks. Sam shows him his phone. "What are these, coordinates? Who's it from?"

"I have no idea." Sam says.

"Well?" Dean asks after Sam looks up the coordinates.

"Uh, Bristol, Rhode Island. Where three women disappeared in the last week. Apparently, the, uh, victims seemed to vanish into thin air." Sam says.

"Could be something. Who's the text from?" Dean asks.

"I don't know. It just kept ringing." Sam says.

"What's that about?"

"Could be another hunter looking for backup, throwing us a case? WHo knows how many hunters I even met, working with the Campbells, you know? But I think we should go."

"Whoa, wait. We're just gonna drop everything?"

"Dude, two minutes ago, you weren't doing anything."

"You got mysterious coordinates from a mysterious Mr. X, leading to a mysterious town? That doesn't throw up red flags to you?"

"I don't know. Maybe. But that doesn't mean we can just ignore a bunch of missing girls. Right?"

"Okay. We'll check it out. But if things get squirrelly, we dump out, okay?"

"Yeah."

They're at a restaurant in Bristol and Evie sits between the brothers. Dean is looking through missing persons flyers.
