Silent Lucidity

XLIX

Surprise! She's now daily! Enjoy!

[Captives]

In the bunker kitchen, water was slowly dripping out of the faucet. The lights suddenly flickered. The overhead light in the dungeon was also flickering. A shot of the long hallway revealed a faint flickering apparition. The map table in the main room flickered. A ghostly sound sounded. Dean was lying on his and Kennedy's bed, eyes closed, with headphones on. The music playing in the headphones suddenly turned to static. Dean's eyes flew open.

"Sam! Kendy!" Dean shouted.

Sam bolted out of his bedroom and Kennedy walked from the kitchen.

"Dean?" Sam and Kennedy called.

They rushed to Dean and Kennedy's bedroom but saw that it was empty. The lights in the whole bunker continued to flicker.

"Dean?" Sam and Kennedy repeated.

Sam and Kennedy rushed to the main room and saw one of the chairs spinning on its own. Sam grabbed a iron sword from the wall and the apparition slowly walking behind him. Before Sam and Kennedy could swing around, the apparition is blown to bits. Sam and Kennedy whipped around and Dean stood there with a smoking shotgun.

"So..." Sam and Kennedy began.

"Yep. Bunker's haunted," Dean confirmed.

Sam was packing rock salt rounds at the kitchen table. Dean and Kennedy entered.

"How is this possible?" Dean asked. "I thought you said this was the safest place on the planet."

"Look, Kennedy and I know nothing got in. I mean, the bunker is warded and sigiled from top to bottom. There's no way something came in from the outside."

"Okay, so whoever's haunting us died here."

"What, dead man of letters?" Kennedy retorted.

"No, that doesn't track. I mean, we're the first people to occupy this place in 50 years. Why would a ghost wait so long to get its spook on?"

Sam replied, "Must have been a more recent death."

"No."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because Kendy and I burned his body ourselves, okay? It's not him."

"Okay, so you cremated him. We cremated Bobby, too, and he came back."

"Sam, I'm telling you -- this ghost, it's not Kevin."

Suddenly, the coffeemaker next to Dean started going crazy with lights flashing on and off and the digital clock speeding through different numbers. Dean, Kennedy and Sam stared at it.

Sam and Kennedy spoke to the coffeemaker. "Kevin?"

A coffee mug next to the machine exploded.

"Ooh."

OUTDOOR FUNERAL

The priest was talking. "We commit her body to the ground, earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, with a clear and certain hope of resurrection into the eternal life, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself. In ne patris, et filii, et spiritus sancti." A man walked away as the priest continued. "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me, Lord."

The man was suddenly grabbed and shoved into a tree by Castiel.

"What are you doing here?" Castiel asked.
