What if Fresh Blood took place after On the Head of a Pin?

"Why are we hunting vampires when we need to be searching for Lillith?" Sam asked for the millionth time. Sometimes Dean hated the way Sam was so one-track minded.

"Because we don't know where Lillith is, but we know where the vampires are…well, more or less," Dean answered. He was sick of the whole angels and demons thing anyway. And he especially wanted to get Sam away from all of it.

"Well, let's just get this over with so we can get back to what's important," Sam said.

Dean sighed. "Look, we know that blonde girls have been going missing outside a bar called Spider's Friday nights. Tomorrow is Friday, so we'll look there then."

"Fine," Sam said, wishing there was a way to get this over with faster. He should see about hooking up with Ruby tonight since they weren't doing anything. Get a hit of blood. Sam turned away from Dean and pulled out his phone.

"Sam?" Dean began. He so did not want to bring this up, but it was eating away at him.

"Yeah?" Sam asked.

"Cas told me what you did to Alistair."

Sam froze. Sometimes he hated that big-mouthed angel. "And?"

"Want to tell me how you did it?" Dean asked.

Sam shrugged. "I just concentrated and it happened. You know I can't really control my psychic thing." Sam was careful to keep his back to Dean. He had always had to lie to people, but he'd never been very successful at lying to Dean. These last few months were really putting that skill to the test.

"Really?" Dean asked skeptically. He didn't believe Sam for a second. He was sure he was doing something, practicing, researching, something.

"Really," Sam said and put the phone away. He wouldn't try to get in contact with Ruby tonight. He was afraid Dean would try to follow him in his current nosy mood. "What do you want to do tonight since we can't hunt until tomorrow?"

"Beer, pizza, and a movie?" Dean asked, hoping for a feel of old times. He needed it after he found out he had broken the first seal. Needed to feel like he was a kid again.

"OK," Sam said. Maybe he and Dean could reconnect a little. They had been drifting apart ever since Dean had returned from Hell.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Gordon and Kubrick entered the hospital to interview the man they believed had been attacked by a vampire.

"FBI," Gordon said, flashing his fake badge as they entered the hospital room. "Can you tell us what happened?"

"This woman attacked me," he said. Then feeling a bit ridiculous for having been attacked by a woman he added, "She had that PCP super-strength."

"Did she bleed on you?" Kubrick asked.

"What? Why? No."

"Are you sure?" Gordon asked.

"Yeah, why?" the man asked again, thinking these were very odd questions.

"No reason," Gordon responded. If she had bleed in him they would have had to kill him, but he would likely be obviously a vampire now, so there was no reason going into all of that.

"Where did she go after she attacked you?"

"Not sure. These two guys came and scared her off."

"Two guys?" Gordon asked, his curiosity suddenly piqued. If there were other hunters around, he wanted to know about it.

"Yeah, these two guys came and ran her off."

"Do you remember what they looked like?" Kubrick asked.

"One of them was real tall with brown, scraggly hair. The other one was about 6 feet and had short, short hair."

Gordon and Kubrick looked at each other, thinking the same thing. They had started out hunting vampires, but had ended up stumbling onto Sam Winchester.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Sam and Dean exited the nightclub called Spider after not finding out anything. "You think we got some bad info?" Dean asked.

Sam was about to answer when he noticed a man and blonde woman disappearing into the alley across the street. He nudged Dean and pointed. They hurried across the street. They saw the man with an eyedropper above the woman's mouth. Sam rushed up to him and knocked the eyedropper away.

"What are you doing?" the woman asked.

"Get out of here," Dean ordered.

She hesitated, but after taking one look at Dean's eyes ran in the other direction. "You must be Dixon," Sam said, as he pulled his machete out.

"That's right," Dixon answered and knocked Sam into Dean, hurtling them both to the ground and running off.

Sam and Dean quickly stood up and took off after him. When they rounded the corner, they were not surprised to have lost Dixon, but they were surprised to see Gordon and Kubrick.

"Hey, guys," Gordon said.

"Gordon," Dean said warily. He and Sam only had machetes, as they were vampire hunting. Gordon and his little buddy were pointing guns at them. Dean didn't like the disparity.

"Why don't you put your little knives down?" Gordon asked.

Sam and Dean exchanged a glance. They really didn't have much of a choice. Gordon and Kubrick were too far away to attack before they could get a shot off, but too close to miss. Dean nodded to Sam and they put down their machetes.

Suddenly, Dixon was back, pouncing on Gordon. Sam picked up his machete as Kubrick and Dean started fighting with each other. Sam raised his machete against Dixon when Dixon knocked out Gordon and turned his attention to Sam.
