Part 2 - Dead in the Water
Police Station– Day
Sheriff Jake Devins talks to Sam, Wanda and Dean. All four are standing in the reception area, Wanda stands close to Dean, shoulders barely touching.
"Now, I'm sorry, but why does the Wildlife Service care about an accidental drowning?"
Sam looks at him questionably. "You sure it's accidental? Will Carlton saw something grab his sister."
"Like what?" They walk into Jake's office. He motions to chairs in front of his desk. "Here, sit, please. There are no indigenous carnivores in that lake." Wanda, Sam and Dean sit. "There's nothing even big enough to pull down a person, unless it was the Loch Ness Monster."
"Yeah." Dean laughs at this. "Right." Wanda hits his shoulder lightly, a smile threatening the spread across her face. Sam glares at Dean for the comment.
"Will Carlton was traumatized, and sometimes the mind plays tricks. Still-" Jake sits down. "We dragged that entire lake. We even ran a sonar sweep, just to be sure, and there was nothing down there."
Wanda leans forward, her head slightly tilted. "But it's the third missing body this year, isn't it a little weird for there to be nothing down there?"
Jake sighs, frustrated. "I know. These are people from my town. These are people I care about."
Dean nods. "I know." His hand brushes against Wanda's between their seats.
"Anyway..." Jake sighs again, leaning back heavily against his seat. "All this...it won't be a problem much longer."
Dean looks to him, confused. "What do you mean?"
Jake raises an eyebrow at him. "Well, the dam, of course."
Wanda pinches Dean's hand a little. He looks to the Sheriff, his eyes a little wide at his mistake. "Of course, the dam. It's, uh, it sprung a leak."
"It's falling apart, and the feds won't give us the grant to repair it, so they've opened the spillway. In another six months, there won't be much of a lake. There won't be much of a town, either. But as Federal Wildlife, you already knew that."
Wanda nods, a small smile on her lips. "Of course."
A young woman, Andrea Barr, taps on the door. "Sorry, am I interrupting?" Sam, Wanda and Dean stand up. "I can come back later."
Jake introduces them to her. "Gentlemen, Lady, this is my daughter."
"It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Dean." Dean shakes Andrea's hand, Wanda shakes hers next once Dean is done.
"Wanda." Andrea smiles at them both.
"Andrea Barr. Hi."
Jake smiles at her. "They're from the Wildlife Service. About the lake."
"Oh." A boy, Lucas Barr, walks in around Andrea.
"Oh, hey there. What's your name?" Dean asks, Wanda gives him a small smile and a wave in greeting. Lucas walks away without speaking. Andrea follows.
"His name is Lucas." Jake introduces, Lucas and Andrea are in the main room. Andrea gives him some crayons out of a box.
Sam looks to the sheriff in concern ."Is he okay?"
"My grandson's been through a lot. We all have." Jake stands and goes to the office door. "Well, if there's anything else I can do for you, please let me know."
Dean, Sam, Wanda and Jake leave the office. "Thanks. You know, now that you mentioned it, could you point us in the direction of a reasonably priced motel?" Dean asks, putting an arm around Wanda's shoulder, she leans into him.
"Lakefront Motel. Go around the corner. It's about two blocks south." Andrea answers. Dean looks to her with a playful smirk.
"Two—would you mind showing us?" Andrea and Wanda laugh at this. Andrea looks to him with a smirk.
"You want me to walk you two blocks?"
Dean shrugs, his arm not leaving Wanda's shoulder. "Not if it's any trouble."
"I'm headed that way anyway." Andrea turns to Jake. "I'll be back to pick up Lucas at three." Andrea turns to Lucas. "We'll go to the park, okay, sweetie?"
Andrea kisses Lucas on the head. Dean and Wanda wave as they leave. Jake nods at them.
"Thanks again." Sam says to the Sheriff before walking out of the door

Street
Andrea leads Dean, Wanda and Sam along the street. Dean goes to walk next to Andrea while Wanda stays next to Sam, wanting to watch how this would go.
"So, cute kid." Andrea looks to him in amusement, not really believing he was into her when she saw how he looked at Wanda before.
"Thanks." They cross a street. Dean continues talking, Wanda and Sam hold in their laughter.
"Kids are the best, huh?" Andrea glances at him again and ignores him. They keep walking. They stop in front of a building that says Lakefront Motel.
"There it is. Like I said, two blocks."
Wanda gives her a smile. "Thank you for taking us two blocks around the corner." Her voice shaking with laughter as she says this. Dean gives her a small glare, his lips threatening to break into a smile at her comment. Andrea smiles at Wanda before addressing Dean.
"Must be hard, with your sense of direction, never being able to find your way to a decent pickup line." Andrea leaves, calling back over her shoulder.
"Enjoy your stay! And good luck with that one Wanda." Wanda breaks into laughter as Sam turns to Dean, smirking.
"'Kids are the best'? You don't even like kids."
Dean huffs, moving to stand next to a laughing Wanda and tugging on her hair. "I love kids."
Sam looks at him in disbelief. "Name three children that you even know."
Dean thinks and comes up empty. Sam waves a hand and walks into the motel. Dean scratches his head and Wanda watches him, her lips smiling widely at his actions.
"I'm thinking!" Wanda breaks into laughter again at his comment, patting his shoulder.
"Don't try too hard Dean, don't want your pretty head to explode." Dean scoffs on amusement, throwing an arm around a laughing Wanda and both walk into the Motel.
