Sam and Dean Winchester sat outside Faith Hall elementary monitoring the school cameras.
"You know Sam, the shape shifter might not show up at all. It could be just a faker."
"I know Dean. Wait! That girl there. The man behind her. He's avoiding the cameras."
"At least it's a lead. Let's go."
The brothers jumped out of the car and ran toward the back of the school. They heard a scream So they picked up the pace. They rounded the corner to find the girl from the camera leaning against the brick wall. She was nursing a badly scratched arm.
"Damn." she whispered.
Sam stepped forward and put a hand on hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, you okay?"
"No!" she screamed, "I just lost the damn monster! It was my only lead."
Tears rolled down her cheeks and she pulled away from Sam.
"Your only lead for what?"
She curled up in ball. She muttered something.
"What?" Dean demanded.
She looked up and her eyes sparkled with tears.
"Finding my dad."
"Who's your dad?" Sam asked.
"I dunno. That damn monster got away before I could get his name out."
"What monster?"
"You wouldn't believe me."
"Try us," Dean replied without missing a beat.
"There are creatures here. There is one imparticular. It's called a shapeshifter. It sheds its skin when it changes. Ive found piles of it int he janitor's closet. I've been trying to find it so I can find my dad."
Sam and Dean shared a look.
"Who are you?"
"Meagan. I'm Meagan Taylors. My mother died when I was 10. I've been in foster care for two years. Ten families. If I find my real dad, he might not send me away. He might love me."
"Listen," Sam said, "Why don't we get you home? We need to talk to your mother."
The little girl fumed. "I'm telling the truth! That thing, it's real!"
"Come on. We'll take you home."
"No. I am going to find it weather or not you believe me."
Sam and Dean looked at each other and nodded. Then Sam slung the girl over his shoulder and ran back toward the car. She cussed and screamed the whole way. When he got to the car he threw her into the back and locked the doors.
"Let me out! I can get you arrested for kidnapping!"
Dean closed his eyes and clenched his fist. This girl was really getting on his nerves. When they pulled into the drive way Sam let the girl out.
"Now. When we go inside, go to your room. We need to talk to your mother."
Her face was red, but she managed to nod. They got out of the car and knocked on the door. A red head woman opened the door. She gasped and enveloped Meagan in a hug.
"Ma'am. We found your daughter lost in an alley. Can we ask you some questions?" Dean asked.
"Of course! Meagan go to your room and start your homework. Dinner will be ready soon," she turned to the boys. "Please. Come in."
