"Shapeshifter?" -Skye Lacey

Episode 6- Skin

SKYE'S POV

We park the car behind the house and get out. "Alright, so what are we doin' here at 5:30 in the morning?" I ask. "I realized something. The videotape shows the killer goin' in, but not coming out." Sam says.

"So, he came out the back door." Dean says as he leans against the hood of his car. "Right. So, there should be a trail to follow. A trail the police would never pursue." Sam says.

"Cause they think the killer never left. And they caught your friend Zack inside. I still don't know what we're doin' here at 5:30 in the morning." I say as Sam looks around the outside of the building, and he seems to notice something. "Blood. Somebody came this way." He says.

"Yeah, but the trail ends. I don't see anything over here." Dean says. A ambulance drives past us, and we exchange a look. We follow the ambulance to the house. Once we arrive we observe the scene and see an Asian man handcuffed and is stepping into a police car. I go over to a nearby woman.

"What happened?" I ask. "He tried to kill his wife. Tied her up and beat her." The Woman says. "Really?" Sam asks. "I used to see him going to work in the morning. He'd wave, say hello. He seemed like such a nice guy." She says.

We watch the man get taken away.

~Later~

Me and Dean come behind Sam. "Hey." Dean says causing Sam to turn around. "Remember when we said this wasn't our kind of problem." Dean asks. "Yeah." Sam says.

"Definitely our kind of problem." I say. "What'd you find out?" Sam asks. "Well, I just talked to the patrol man who was first on the scene, heard this guy, Alex's story. Apparently the dude was driving home from a business trip when his wife was attacked." He says. "So, he was two places at once." Sam says.

"Exactly. Then he sees himself in the house, Police think he's a nutjob." I say. "Two dark doubles attacking loved ones in exactly the same way." Sam says. "Could be the same thing doin' it too." Dean says. I think for a second. It has to be a shapeshifter that's a monster that my parents left in their journals. "Shapeshifter?" I ask.

Dean shrugs. "Something that can make itself look like anyone?" I ask. "Every culture in the world has a shapeshifter lore. You know, legends of creatures who can transform themselves into animals or other men." Dean says. "Right, skinwalkers, werewolves." Sam says. "We've got two attackers within blocks of each other.I'm guessing we've got a shapeshifter prowling the neighborhood." Dean says.

"Let me ask you this in all this shapeshifter lore, can any of them fly?" Sam asks. "Not that I know of. Skye?" Dean asks me. I shrug my shoulders. "I don't know." I say. "I picked up a trail here. Someone ran out the back of this building and headed off this way." He says.

"Just like your friends house." I say to Sam. "Yeah. And, just like at Zack's house, the trail suddenly ends. I mean, whatever it is just disappeared." Sam says. "Well, there's another way to go...down." Dean says making us all look down noticing a manhole.

"I hate sewer's." I say.
