Sam came out of the bathroom rubbing a towel over his wet hair.
"Pack up, we have a new case." Dean said as he was putting his things into his duffel bag.
"I was in there for only fifteen minutes. How did you find a case so quick?" Sam asked. Before he went to take a shower neither him nor his brother has a lead on anything supernatural.
"I didn't. Remember Ron Evans?"
" Ah, yeah. He was the only guy dad would let work on his car."
"Right. He just called."
"And?" Sam asked hoping Dean would tell him more.
"And what?"
"And what did he say Dean?"
"There's been some weird stuff going on in his shop."
"That's it? That's all you have." Sam said as he stopped packing.
"Yes, that's all he said." Dean stopped what he was doing and looked at his brother. "Look, he didn't have to tell me anything. Rom was dads friend and a huge skeptic on anything supernatural. So if he thinks something is going on, I believe him. At least enough to check it out." Dean picked up his duffel and leather jacket. He headed out the door picking up the keys on the way out. Sam quickly finished his packing and followed his brother out of the room.
The next afternoon the brothers pulled up in front of a small mechanic shop. They both got out the Impala and headed inside.
"Hi, did you need to set up an appointment?" A young woman behind the counter ask.
"Ah no. My baby is just fine!" Dean said with a smile on his face looking back at his car as he leaned against the counter.
"Oh I just thought you might of wanted a little tune up." She said with a smile on her face.
"Excuse me?" Dean said.
"Actually we are here to see Ron. He called us the other day asking us to stop over." Sam said, stepping in front of his brother before he could yell at the woman.
"You must be the Winchesters." She said.
"Yes we are."
The woman picked up the phone and pushed a few buttons before telling the person on the other end that the two brothers were there. "Ron will be right out." She said as she hung up the phone.
"Thank you." Sam said before going over to sit in a chair to wait for Ron.
"So why do you think I need to get my car tuned up?" Dean asked going back up to the counter.
"I thought you might have wanted us to fix your doors and maybe some brake fluid. That is all. We would give her a once over just to make sure."
"What?" Dean was upset. There was noting wrong with his baby.
"Yeah, some WD-40 on the door hinges will do the trick. And we would check the break lines to see if it would just need some brake fluid. Hopefully that would be all. From the looks of it you keep her in good shape." She gave Dean a smile as he looked back at Sam who was sitting off to the side trying to hide his laughter from his brother.
"Look lady, I don't care what you think my car needs. No one..."
"Dean! Sam! I'm so glad you came!" Ron cut Dean off as he came into the room. Sam got up from the chair he was sitting in and went over by his brother.
"It's no problem Ron. Why don't you tell us what is going on." Sam said.
"Sure, lets go talk in my office." Ron said as he turned to head back the way he had just come. Stopping next to the counter, "Why don't we lock up for the day." He said to the young woman before he continued on to his office.
The three men filled into Ron's small office and each sat down.
"Tell us everything you know." Sam said.
"Don't leave anything out." Dean added.
"Well I guess it really all started four months ago. I had a guy named Andrew working for me. Great mechanic , horrible attitude. He would show up late and cut out early. But he would always get his work done. Ah, one of my other mechanics over heard him on the phone saying that he could give this guy parts for free. A week later I start finding parts are missing from out shop. This lasted for three weeks. So I had to let Andrew go. Two weeks later we find him dead in the back were we keep all of our parts."
"What did the police say?" Sam asked.
"They said that it was two guys who came into rob us and thing most have got heated. So one guy shot the other. Ron said.
"And that was four months ago?" Dean questioned.
"Yeah." Ron said leaning back in his chair.
"What's been going on around here since?" Dean asked.
"Things I still can't believe. Ever since Andrews death weird things keep happening."
"Like what?" Sam pushed, "Can you give us specifics?"
"Mostly lights going on and off. Ah, sounds of someone walking. Parts and boxes are moving around the shop."
"Sounds like a simple haunting. Nothing too big." Dean said. Thinking it shouldn't take long to find the body. Dig it up, salt and burn his bones. They already knew who it was.
"That's how it started. Since we got rid of Andrew I had to find someone new. My top mechanic was teaching him the ropes and keeping an eye on him. Well they were just changing the oil on a focus when the front axels came right off and landed on the guy. Put him in the hospital, broke both his legs." Ron said. Sam and Dean looked at each other.
"That's horrible." Sam said, "But that doesn't mean a ghost did it."
"You are right. But my other mechanic who was there says it was."
"And you believe this person?" Dean asked.
"I do."
"Ok, well we need to talk to this guy."
"Sure I will call her in." Ron said as he picked up his phone. "Kate can you come back here and tell the Winchesters what you saw."
"What do you mean "her"? Your top mechanic is a girl?" Dean asked.
"She better be the best. I taught her everything she knows." Ron gave a big smile as the young woman from the front walked into the room.
