[Party On, Garth]

Natalia sat in the back, leaning against Dylan while browsing through her phone.

Dean was on the phone in the passenger seat as Sam drove. "All right, well, call us if he wakes up or, you know, anything." ... "Yeah, fine." ... "Thanks for your help, Meg." He hung up and said, "What a bitch."

"So, Cas is the same, then?" Sam asked.

"Yeah, down to the drool."

"Huh."

Natalia leaned forward slightly. "How's the noggin, big bro?"

"It's all right. It's getting better. Just wish it wasn't like the damn tape from "The Ring." I mean, I feel like I'm okay 'cause I passed on the crazy."

"No, you didn't," Dean said. "You heard what Cas said. You all heard." His phone rang.

"Let's - let's not. You know what?"

Dean answered the phone.

INT. IMPALA / INT. GARTH'S CAR

"Hello," Dean greeted.

"Hey, Dean," Garth answered. "It's Garth."

"Wait. W-who is this?"

"Garth. Garth Fitzgerald the Fourth. We, along with your sister, worked together on that demon thing? You two owe me one?"

"Oh, yeah. Yeah, how you doing, Garth?"

"I'm ready to cash in that chip, Bra. There's something brewing in Junction City, Kansas."

INT. MORGUE - DAY

A coroner led Dean, Sam, Natalia and Dylan in their FBI suits and dress into the room.

"Well, this is it," the coroner said. "Gentlemen, lady... this is Corporal Brown."

Garth, wearing an Army uniform, was standing next to the body and said, "Corporal James Brown. I'm shipping off to the AF mañana. I'm here to pay respects to my cousin as I will not be able to attend the funeral."

"That must be terrible for your family. Losing two brothers so fast."

Dean and Natalia looked at Sam and Dylan and Sam and Dylan looked at Garth, to whom it was obviously news.

"Yeah. Yeah. My aunt - she's... she's real broken up about it."

"Hey, doc, can we see both files, please?" Sam asked.

"Mm-hmm," the coroner hummed as his phone rang. "Ah." He handed Sam a file. "My wife. I'll, uh, be in my office."

"Great," Dean and Natalia said.

Sam frowned. "You didn't say they were brothers."

Garth looked at him. "Dude, I just found out about the other corpse, and... started moving quick. I'm sucking up info as I go."

"What, are you allergic to a suit?" Dean questioned.

"No. I just... look good in a uniform."
