042. ROAD KILL

The brothers are talking about the case they're on while Dean drives the dark road. Dean suddenly slams on the brakes.

"Holy--!" He exclaims.

"You've got to help me." The woman who ran in front of the car says. She goes to the passenger side and pounds on Sam's window until he rolls it down. "Please. Please!"

"All right, all right. Calm down, calm down. Tell us what happened." Sam says.

They're parked on the side of the road and the three adults are standing around it while the girls are still inside, but Ophelia has the window rolled down a bit so they can hear.

"I-I swerved, a-and we crashed. And when I came to, the car was wrecked and my husband was missing. I went looking for him, but that's when the man from the road, he... he started chasing me." The woman explains.

"Did he look like he lost a fight with a lawn mower?" Dean asks.

"How did you know that?" The woman asks.

"Lucky guess." Dean says.

"Ma'am, what's your name?" Sam asks.

"Molly. Molly McNamara." She informs and the brothers share a discreet look.

"I think maybe you should come with us. We'll take you back into town." Sam says.

"I can't. I have to find David. He might have gone back to the car." Molly says.

"We should get you somewhere safe first. Then Dean and I will come back. We'll look for your husband." Sam tells her.

"No. I'm not leaving here without him. Would you just take me back to my car, please?" Molly asks.

"Of course. Come on." Sam says.

Dean parks the Impala near the crash site of Molly's car and the three adults get out, telling Ophelia and Libby to stay in the car.

After a few minutes they return and get in, Dean starting to drive again.

"We're supposed to be in Lake Tahoe." Molly says, sitting in the backseat with the girls.

"You and David?" Sam asks.

"It's our five year anniversary." Molly states.

"A hell of an anniversary." Dean says sarcastically.

"Right before, we were having the dumbest fight. It was the only time we ever really argued... when we were stuck in the car." Molly says.

"Yeah. I know how that goes." Sam says, laughing a little and Dean scowls at him.

"You know the last thing I said to him? I called him a jerk. Oh, God. What if that's the last thing I said to him?" Molly worries.

"Molly... we're gonna figure out what happened to your husband. I promise." Sam says.

The radio starts making weird noises before playing "House of the Rising Sun".

"Did you--?" Dean asks.

"No." Sam shakes his head.

"I was afraid you'd say that." Dean says.

"This song..." Molly starts.

"What?" Dean asks.

"It was playing when we crashed." Molly says. The radio crackles and ends up on a different station.

"She's mine. She's mine. She's mine." A creepy voice comes through. Libby lets out a scared whine making Ophelia hold her hand.

"What is that?" Molly asks.
