MOTEL ROOM

♪ Heat of the moment ♪

Sam and Maeve's eyes snapped open and they sat up in bed.

♪ Telling you what your heart is ♪

"Rise and shine, Sammy, Maeve!" Dean called as he sat on the other bed and tied his shoes.

Sam and Maeve frowned. "Dude. Asia?"

"Come on, you two love this song and you know it," Dean replied.

"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 Maeve let out a sigh

♪ 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? Maeve, is this bra yours?"

Maeve shook her head and looked away awkwardly while Sam glared.

Dean laughed, rummaged in the bag and pulled out a gun. "Bingo."

He went past Sam and Maeve to the door as Dean asked, "Now who's ready for some breakfast?"

DINER

The door chimed as Sam, Dean and Maeve 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 and Maeve 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 girl ready?"

"Yes," Dean replied. "I'll have the special, side of bacon and a coffee."

"Couple pancakes and a coffee with cream and sugar," Maeve told Doris.

"Make it three coffees and a short stack," Sam said.

"You got it," Doris answered.

Dean looked at his brother and friend. "I'm telling you, Sam, Maeve, 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 two 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," Maeve replied.
