Sam had been waiting by the phone for what seemed like hours before Dean finally called him. He picked it up on the first ring.

"Dean. Where have you been? I thought you went out to get food, but it's been three hours!"

"It's Garth. I think he's in trouble."

"Why?"

"He called me, worried, and said he wanted both of us to talk him. I'm stopping by the bunker, then we're going to Bobby's place. Be ready in 10 minutes."

Sam sighed. He packed up his and Dean's stuff and walked to the door.


Garcia entered the conference room with the remote to the projector screen. She turned it on.

"Hello, my pumpkins! Here we have the bodies of 19 year old Danika Smith, 43 year old David Hanover, 83 year old Micheal Faye, and 32 year old Ann Xavier. They were found in an empty field in Sioux Falls, South Dakota last Thursday with their heads cut off. The heads were found just over a foot away from their bodies."

"Hey Garcia," said Reid, "would you zoom in the neck area for me?"

"Anything for my resident genius," Garcia said with a smile. She pressed a button on the remote.

"Thanks- do you see how there are no hesitation marks, but the slash marks still have breaks in them? It sounds crazy, but I think our unsub is using a machete!"

"Great", Hotch said. "We'll discuss victimology on the plane. Wheels up in 30."


The doors of the Impala slammed as Sam and Dean stepped out of their respective sides (with Dean driving, of course). Sam walked up the driveway and opened the door. It was unlocked. Odd, he thought. Bobby never would do something as careless as that. Sam's suspicion's cleared instantly when Garth greeted them at the door.

"Where's Bobby?" Dean asked, looking around.

"What, don't you want to see me?" Garth noticed the unamused faces of the brothers. "He's on a hunting trip with Rufus. He said I could use the house."

Dean gave a kurt smile. "Okay then. Why'd you call us?"

"There's a vamp nest that I need help fighting. I've killed four already, but theres got to be at least twen-"

Dean cut him off, shaking his head woefully. "Are you kidding me? A vamp nest. A vamp nest! We're over here trying to find Cas and deal with the leviathan apocalypse and you're calling about a vamp nest. Hey Garth, Jody Mills is ten minutes away from here. She's a perfectly capable hunter, which is more than you can- what I'm trying to get at is, you didn't need to call us."

"Well, Dean, while we're here, we may as well take the case. Right?" Dean stared daggers at Garth before relenting. "Good," said Sam. "Go get the stuff from the car. And call Jody. We don't want her new deputy seeing the bodies and getting scared."
