Dean looked at the picture and commented. "Yeah, bet they could hump the crap out of your leg. Look at that one, huh?"

Dean held up a picture and smirked. Sam glared at him, and Karina shook her head, down on the ground. Dean's smirk slipped into a frown. "What? They could."

***

The trio dressed up in their usual suits including Karina. Ponytail is still up for her. They were interviewing a partner who was Sean Boyden. Dean and Karina were together, standing up in front of a man. Sam was investigating the apartment until he entered the kitchen where they were.

Sam asked, "So, you and Sean Boyden were business partners for almost 10 years, right?"

"That's right. Now one more time, this is for...?"

Dean answered, "A tribute to Mr. Boyden-- Architectural Digest."

He laughed. The response caught Karina off guard, and she asked, "I'm sorry I don't see what there is to be laughing about...?"

"No, it... it's just a tribute. Yeah. See, Sean always got the tributes. He kills himself, leaves me and his family behind... Well, he gets another tribute."

Sam asked, "Right. Any idea why he'd do such a thing?"

"I-I have no clue. I mean, he lived a charmed life."

Karina asked, "Charmed. Meaning...?"

"He was a flat-out genius. I mean, I'm capable, but next to him... I ... and it wasn't always that way, either?"

Dean asked, "No?"

"You want to know the truth? There was a time where he couldn't even design a pup tent. Hell, 10 years ago, he was working as a bartender at this place called Lloyd's. A complete dive."

Sam asked, "Right. So what changed?"

"You got me. But overnight, he gets his huge commission, and he starts designing. He starts designing the most ingenious buildings anyone has ever seen. It was like the levels of Van Gogh, and Mozart. It-"

Dean asked after his silence, "What?"

"It's funny. True genius, they seem to die young, don't they? To have that kind of talent? Why... why just throw it away?"

After the interview of the man, Dean stopped at the Animal Protection Agency, to get the information. Sam and Karina were alone in the front seat, sitting together. They were awfully quiet on the timing, taking in the view surrounding them. Sam scratched the back of his head, and Karina was looking down, playing with her fingers.

More like twirling knife actions than humanity's fingers.

Karina took a deep sigh and crossed her arms. She looked around everywhere. Sam kept looking at Karina, and she took a glance at Sam. He turned his eyes from her for a moment. Karina smiled softly at Sam and looked at the distance.

When they don't have their eyes on each other, and look around. Karina raised her eyebrows, waiting for Dean to come back quickly. Sam looked up at the hood of the car, waiting for Karina.

Without noticing, they turned slowly to each other in unison. They finally looked into each other's eyes at the same time. Hazel and Brown. 

Sam and Karina softly smiled at each other and chuckled along.

Dean got in the car, and Karina asked Dean, "The verdict?"

"Secretary's name is Carly. She's 23. She... kayaks, and they're real."
