Chapter 4
Avera McKennan hospital & University Health Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota
2:31am
Sam and Dean quietly stepped out of Charlie's hospital room and into the hallway with Jody. A sobering silence enveloped each of them for a long moment. Jody looked to Sam and then to Dean. They were visibly upset. She was too. She glanced back to Charlie through the hospital doorway looking forlorn and quiet. She felt angry seeing the poor girl in such a state. There was something about this case seemed all too familiar.
"You said you found her in a white nightgown?" Jody looked ready to get down to work.
"Yeah. She wasn't even wearing any shoes." Dean remembered.
Jody looked a little preoccupied.
"What is it?" Sam asked right away.
"There's something about this case. Can't quite put my finger on it though." She sighed. "You know, I'm gonna go back to the station and see what I can dig up. I'm also going to send a team out to the site where you found Charlie. See what they can find."
"And if it looks like it's Supernatural?" Dean asked.
"I guess it'll be a cold case in our books. Either way, maybe there's something the CSI team can turn up that'll help us." Jody responded.
"I'll go with you." Sam volunteered. He then turned to Dean. "You?" He asked his brother.
"I'm gonna stay here and keep an eye on her. If she wakes up maybe she can tell us what the hell happened." Dean's voice sounded strained. "If you find anything... holler."
Sam nodded as he patted his brother on the shoulder with a reassuring squeeze before he left with Jody.
