Dean's POV

I chat with a witness who is a young blonde woman. "What happened outside makes you realize how fragile life really is. You got to make every second count." I say while resting my hand on her shoulder and she nods. Skye approaches, clearing her throat. "Excuse me a minute, would you?" I ask. "Sure." She says and leaves.

"Dean, what are you doing?" Skye asks. "I'm comforting the bereaved. What are you doing?" He asks. "Working. Dead body, possible demon attack...that kind if stuff." I glare. "Come on please don't be mad at me baby. We can't be mad at each other because...I don't have much time left, and we got to make every second count." He says. "Then stop flirting with other women." I say. "Fine." He says.

Sam and Bobby enter wearing suits. Bobby's hair is slicked back. Me and Dean look at him impressed. "Whoa." Dean whistles. "Looking spiffy, Bobby. What were you, a G-man?" Dean asks. "Attorney for the D.A's office. I just spoke to the suspect.

"Yeah? So, what do you think? Is she possessed or what?" I ask. "Don't think so. There's none of the usual signs...no blackouts, no loss of control. Totally lucid. Just, she really wanted those shoes. Spilled a glass of holy water on her just to be sure and nothing." Sam says. "Maybe she's just some random whack job." Dean says.

"If it had been an isolated incident, maybe, but first the family, now this? I believe in a lot of things. Coincidence ain't one of them. Did you two find anything around here?" Bobby asks. "No sulfur, nothing." I sigh. "Well, maybe something." Dean says as he nods to a security camera in the ceiling. "See? I'm working." He says to me. I roll my eyes and go to the security room. I sit down and start watching the security footage as the guys hover.

"Anything interesting?" Dean asks. "I don't know yet. Might just be a guy." I say as we watch a redheaded man approach a blonde woman. "Or it might be our guy." Sam says.

~BAR~

Dean and I are staking out a bar. "What time is it?" I ask, yawning. "Seven past midnight." He says. "You sure this is the right place?" I ask. "No. But I spent all day canvassing this stupid town with this guy's stupid mug, and, supposedly, he drinks at this...stupid bar." He says as there is a loud pounding on the window causing me and Dean to jump.

I look at the window and see Sam grinning at our discomfort and he slips into the back seat. "That's not funny!" Dean yells. "Yeah. Uh, all right, so, John Doe's name is Walter Rosen. He's from Oak Park, just west of Chicago. Went missing about a week ago." Sam says as Bobby gets in beside him.

"The night the Devil's Gate opened?" I ask. "Yeah." Bobby says. "So, you think he's possessed?" Dean asks. "Well, it's a good bet. So, what, he just walks up to someone, touches them, and they go stark raving psycho?" I ask. "Those demons that got out at the gate...they're gonna do all kinds of things we haven't seen." Bobby says.

"You mean the demons we let out." Sam says. "Guys." Dean says, and I look to where he is looking and see the redheaded man get out of his car and walk towards the bar. "All right. Showtime." I say. "Wait a minute." Bobby says. "What?" Dean asks. "What'd I just say? We don't know what to expect out of this guy. We should tail him till we know for sure." Bobby says.

"Oh, so he kills someone, and we just sit here with our junk un our hands?" Dean asks. "We're no good dead! And we're not gonna make a move until we know what the score is." Bobby says. "Hey, Bobby? I don't think that's an option." I say. "Why not?" He asks. I nod towards another car that has just entered the lot. Isaac and Tamara are heading towards the bar. "Damn it!" Bobby yells.

We all get out and run towards the door. I try and open it, but it won't budge. "Skye move." Dean says, and I move out of the way. Bobby, Sam, and Dean slam themselves against the door, trying to force it open. "I got an idea." Bobby says and goes to his car. "Shit." Dean says, and we move out of the way as Bobby bursts through the front door of the bar.

We grab the holy water as we go into the crowd of demons and fling holy water on them. I grab Tamara, who is screaming frantically for Isaac. "Come on, we got to go! He's dead! Get in the car!" I yell at her as I see Dean still fighting. "Dean come on!" I yell but he ignores me. "DEAN! COME ON!" I yell as we I get Tamara in the car.

I watch from inside the car as Dean fights with the redheaded man. Dean opens the trunk as he runs out of holy water causing the redheaded man to grin, but Dean overpowers him and stuffs him in the trunk, which has the Devil's trap. The man screams as Dean tumbles into the front seat of the car. "Go!" he yells.

~ISAAC AND TAMARA'S~

"And I say we're going back...now!" Tamara yells. "Just hold on a second!" Dean yells. "I left my husband bloody on the floor!" She yells. "Okay, I understand that, but we can't go back." Sam says. "Fine. Then you stay. But I'm heading back to that bar." She says.

"I'll go with her." I say. "It's suicide, Skye." Dean says. "No what you dead last week is suicide Dean." I glare. "How you going to kill them? Can't shoot them. You can't stab them. They're not just going to wait in line to get exorcised!" Dean yells. "I don't care!" Tamara yells. "We don't even know how many of them there are!" Sam yells.

"Yeah, we do. There's seven. Do you have any idea who we're up against?" Bobby asks as he enters the room. "No. Who?" Dean asks. "The seven deadly sins, live and in the flesh!" He yells. "What's in the box?!" Dean yells grinning and I send him a weird look. "Brad Pitt? Seven? No?" He asks and Bobby tosses him a book. "What's this?" He asks.

"Binsfeld's Classification of Demons. In 1589 ID'd the seven sins...not just as human vices but as actual devils." Bobby says. "The family...they were touched by Sloth. And the shopper..." I trail off trying to think of what seven deadly sin it was. "That's Envy's doing...the customer we got in the next room. I couldn't suss it out at first, until Isaac. He was touched with an awful Gluttony." Bobby says.

"I don't give a rat's ass if they're the Three Stooges or the Four Tops! I'm gonna slaughter every last one of them." Tamara says. "We already did it your way. You burst in there half-cocked and look what happened! These demons haven't been topside in half a millennium! We're talking medieval, Dark Ages! We've never faced anything close to this! So, we are gonna take a breath. And figure out what our next never faced anything close to this! So, we are gonna take a breath. And figure out what our next move is!" Bobby yells as Tamara just stares at him.

"I am sorry for your loss." Bobby says and she leaves. Me and Dean go in the holding room. "So you know who I am, huh?" Envy smirks. "We do. We're not impressed." I say but he doesn't respond and I roll my eyes. "Why are you here? What are you after?" I ask.

"She asked you a question. What do you want?" Dean says causing Envy to chuckle. Dean opens a flask of flask of holy water and splashes him. "Ya! Ahh! Ungh...We already have...what we want." Envy pants. "What's that?" I ask. "We're out. We're free. Thanks to you, my kind are everywhere. I am legion, for we are many. So me, I'm just celebrating. Having a little fun." He chuckles.

"Fun?" I ask. "Yeah. Fun. See, some people crochet. Others gold. Me? I like to see people's insides...on their outside." Envy smirks. "And boy do I want to see yours pretty blonde." He chuckles. "I'm gonna put you down like a dog." Tamara says. "Please." He laughs. "You really think you're better than me. Which one of you can cast the first stone, huh? What about you, Dean? You're practically a, a walking billboard of gluttony and lust." He laughs. Dean nods, in acknowledgment. Envy is right about that.

"And Tamara. All that wrath. Oohh." He clicks his tongue. "It's the reason you and Isaac became hunters in the first place, isn't it? It's so much easier to...drink in the rage than to face what really happened all those years ago." He says causing Tamara slap him. Me and Dean pull her away.

"Ahh! Whew!" Envy laughs. "My point exactly. And you call us sins. We're not sins, man. We are natural human instinct. And you can repress and deny us all you want, but the truth is, you are just animals. Horny...greedy...hungry...violent animals. And you know what? You'll slaughtered like animals, too. The others...they're coming for me." He smirks.

"Maybe. But they're not gonna find you...cause you'll be inhell." Dean says and Envy looks taken back. "Someone send this clownpacking." I smirk. "My pleasure." Tamara says as she begins toread. "Exorcizamus te, Omnis immundus spiritus, omnis satanica." Shereads as we leave the room hearing Envy's screams.
