MOTEL ROOM
♪ Heat of the moment ♪
Sam's eyes snapped open and he sat up in bed. Margaret and Miriam were already awake.
♪ Telling you what your heart is ♪
"Rise and shine, Sammy!" Dean called as he sat on the other bed and tied his shoes.
Sam frowned. "Dude. Asia?"
"Come on, love this song and you know it."
"Yeah, and if I ever hear it again, I'm gonna kill myself."
Dean turned up the volume. "What? Sorry, couldn't hear you."
♪ It was the heat of the moment ♪
Dean started bopping along and Sam shook his head while the girls danced.
♪ Heat of the moment. Heat of the moment. Showed in your eyes ♪
In the bathroom, Dean gargled loudly.
"Whenever you're ready, Dean," Sam said.
Dean pulled out a black bra. "This yours?"
Sam glared.
Dean laughed, rummaged in the bag and pulled out a gun. "Bingo."
He went past Sam, Miriam and Margaret to the door as he asked, "Now who's ready for some breakfast?"
DINER
The door chimed as Sam, Dean, Miriam and Margaret entered.
The cashier gave Mr. Pickett some change. "Drive safely now, Mr. Pickett."
"Yeah, yeah," Mr. Pickett replied.
The cook in the background called, "Order up."
Sam, Dean, Miriam and Margaret found a booth.
At the counter, a waitress said, "Can't stay unless you order something, Cal. You know the rules."
Cal passed her some change. "Some coffee."
Dean noticed a poster on the wall. "Hey. Tuesday. Pig-in-a-poke."
"You even know what that is?" Sam asked.
A waitress, Doris, walked up to their booth. "You boys and girls ready?"
"Yes," Dean replied. "I'll have the special, side of bacon and a coffee. Pancakes, bacon and milk for the girls."
"Make it two coffees and a short stack," Sam said.
"You got it," Doris answered.
Dean looked at his brother. "I'm telling you, Sam, this job's small fry. We should be spending our time hunting down Bela."
"Okay, sure, let's get right on that - where is she again?" Sam retorted.
"Shut up."
"Look, believe me, I want to find her as bad as you do. In the meantime, we have this." He pulled out some papers.
"All right, so this professor."
The headline on the newspaper clipping read 'MISSING - DEXTER HASSELBACK LAST SEEN IN BROWARD, FLORIDA'
"Dexter Hasselback was passing through town last week when he vanished."
"Last known location?"
"His daughter says he was on his way to visit the Broward County Mystery Spot."
Dean turned over a flyer, which had a large question mark and the words Broward County Mystery Spot on the front and E=MC², A=R² and F=GM1M2/R2² below the lines Dean read aloud. "Where the laws of physics have no meaning."
