She sighed, rolling her eyes as she walked away.
HOSPITAL
Dean, Sam and Ella entered the morgue, still wearing their shirts and ties, and blouse and skirt for Ella , and wore lab coats. The intern on duty had a name tag that read J. Manners.
Dean looked the name tag, calculating. "John."
"Jeff," the intern corrected.
"Jeff. I know that. Dr. Dworkin needs to see you in his office right away."
"But Dr. Dworkin's on vacation."
"Well, he's back," Ella said, offering an intimidating look for effect. "And he's pissed, and he's screaming, dude, so if I were you, I would... okay."
The intern ran off and Dean questioned, "Hey, those Satanists in Florida, they marked their victims, didn't they?"
"Yeah, reversed pentacle on the forehead," Sam said.
"Yeah. So much f-d up crap happens in Florida."
Ella scoffed lightly, but said nothing.
Dean handed Sam and Ella a pair of latex gloves and put on a pair of his own. Sam opened a compartment and wheeled out a corpse to see a box between its legs.
"All right, open it," Dean said.
"You open it," Sam shot back.
"Wuss."
Ella rolled her eyes once again and carried the box to another table and flipped off the lid. Sam and Dean approached, cringing.
She glanced between the brothers. "Grow up, you two."
Dean looked over the lid. "Well, no pentagram. Be nice, Ella."
"I was nice."
"Wow. Poor girl," Sam commented.
"Maybe we should, uh, you know, look in her mouth, see if those wackos stuffed anything down her throat," Dean suggested. "You know, kinda like Moth in Silence of the Lambs."
"Yeah, here, go ahead."
"No, you go ahead."
"What?"
""Put the lotion in the basket.""
"Right, yeah, I'm the wuss, huh? Whatever."
Ella scoffed and started poking her fingers in the mouth.
Sam gagged. "Dean, get me a bucket?"
"Ella find something?"
"No, I'm going to puke."
Dean told Ella, "Wait, lift the lip up again?"
Sam frowned. "What? You want me to throw up, is that it?"
"No, no, no, I think I saw something." He pushed Cataleya's hands away and pulled back the lip. "What is that, a hole?" He pressed on the gum and a narrow, sharp tooth descended.
"It's a tooth."
Ella looked closer before saying, "Sam, Dean, that's a fang. Retractable set of vampire fangs, you've gotta be kidding me."
"Well, this changes things."
Ella met his eyes. "Ya think?"
BAR
That night, they made their way to a bar and Dean went around to park. They walked inside.
The three approached the bar and a man, Gordon, was at a table to one side, watching them.
