Sam stands frustrated in the parking lot, leaning against the impala, clutching his phone. The dial tone sounds again. He hangs up with a sigh of surrender, just as Dean emerges from the fast-food diner, carrying a batch of stale burgers and cold fries.

"$1.99 for two cheeseburgers, plus a toy!" he grins, waving the toy car in his hand. His smile fades when he sees the phone in Sam's grasp. "Who are you trying to call?"

"You know who, Dean." Sam sighs, sensing the inevitable conflict.

"Can't we just have one freakin' moment to ourselves without some demon-dog hanging over your shoulder?!" Dean tosses the toy car onto the tarmac, enraged, so it shatters into plastic parts.

"Ruby is the only lead we have on Lilith." Sam insists. "If I could just get a hold of her, we could be one step closer to finding her."

"Lemme guess, she's not picking up." Dean sneers. "She's probably chatting with Lilith right now in a bar over a bottle of beer and a packet of peanuts, talking over how they're gonna screw with the pair of us next." He smirks smugly. "Hell-bitches together, am I right?"

"Not quite." Ruby snarls, her arms crossed in the sleeves of her leather jacket.

Dean jerks with surprise, dropping his fries on the ground. He glares at her with detest and loathing.

"Ruby, where have you been?" Sam whines. "I've been trying to call you since we left Nebraska!"

"I've been working." she says, shooting a glare back at Dean. "You'll be glad to know that I have another lead on the 66 seals...well, what's left of them."

"How many?" Sam asks anxiously.

"14 seals have already been broken." Ruby informs them with a tone of disappointment. "But there's still time...and I think I know where the next one is."

"Well don't keep us waiting, Mystic Meg." Dean growls.

Ruby rolls her eyes and ignores him. "Clifton, Tennessee. But not for much longer."

"What do you mean?" Sam raises his eyebrow.

"It's a walking, talking seal. A person."

"Who is it, and where are they headed?" Sam asks urgently.

"I don't know who it is," Ruby confesses. Dean rolls his eyes in the background. "But I do know that Lilith's hit-men are working fast to keep up. So whoever it is is on the move."

"Well, that's not much of a lead." Dean sneers. "So what now? We look into your crystal ball for some answers?"

"Well I do know one thing for certain." Ruby scowls. "The demons are closing in fast on this guy, and if we don't start moving at the same pace, then another seal is gonna be broken. So shove the rest of that burger in your shit-talking pie-hole and get driving." She turns and starts to walk away into the evening shadows. "I'll see you in Tennessee."

Ruby vanishes into the darkness. Dean stands firmly still, carelessly munching his burger as Sam watches in disbelief.

"What are you waiting for, Dean?" he exclaims. "Ruby has just given us another lead to one of the 66 seals!"

"Oh c'mon Sam, you don't actually believe a word she says, do you?" he spits. "She's just sending you on a wild goose-chase to the other side of the states; hell, probably straight into Lilith's hands."

"Dean, how can you still not trust her after she battled those demons back in Kentucky?" Sam cries in frustration. "She's saved our asses on several occasions and you still treat her like dirt!"

"Hey, I've been pretty civil with her considering!" Dean snaps. "A demon's still a demon, Sam, and I have every right to be cautious!"

"Well right now, she's all we've got." Sam snarls. "Where are your angels now, Dean? Why aren't they helping us protect the rest of the seals?"

Dean breathes heavily, as though preparing his response, but remains speechless.

"Let's go." Sam says conclusively. "Even if we can't find the seal in Tennessee, we can still take out some demons."

Dean reluctantly opens the door of the impala and the two brothers step inside. The doors slam shut and the impala pulls out of the fast-food parking lot and back onto the highway.
