Meanwhile, out on the street, Neptune was getting bored

"Hey, Samster! Hey! How long do ya think we'll have to stand around here until something plot-relevant happens?"

Sam huffed a laugh and smiled down at the purple-haired girl (and boy, that was a long way down). "It might take a bit," he told her. "Dean is gonna have to try and draw them out here so they can't harm anyone inside the club."

She looked at him dubiously. "Sounds like you have a plan for this. Think it's really gonna go that smoothly?"

The hunter smiled wrily. "It rarely ever does," he mused. "But I won't give up hope just yet. There's not much else we can do anyway."

"Yeah, I guess. I'm sure they'll be fine, they've got Vert with them after all. She's smart and she can kick ass, so even if everything goes to shit they'll totes be cool."

She shrugged, and looked around warily. "But it would be really bad if we'd already been spotted and they were preparing an ambush right now."

Sam straightened a little and cast a look around even as he answered: "Nah, I doubt they know we're here. We didn't exactly make a big deal out of our arrival in town and we've only been to the morgue once, we'll be fine."

Apparently the universe took that as a challenge, as a man jumped down from the building behind them, grabbed Neptune and dashed into an alleyway a few meters back, all in less than two seconds

Sam spun around, startled, and whipped a knife out from his jacket while he sprinted after the two.

"Let go of the girl!" he shouted while skidding around the corner, trying to adjust to the darkness in the narrow alley.

About 20 meters down the alley, Neptune was struggling with the vampire, keeping her neck out of reach of his fangs and apparently attempting to escape his grasp. And surprisingly she seemed to be succeeding

"Get off me, ya creep!" She managed to twist around halfway and escape his grasp, then she noticed Sam. "Heya, I think I found one!"

He gestured with the blade in his hand frantically.

"Get back here!" Sam hissed at the girl when she didn't make any move to back away from the vampire. "You touch her, I'm gonna chop of your-"

He was cut off with a startled grunt when something solid hit the back of his head, causing him to stumble forward onto one knee before he managed to twist around and take a swipe at the vamp at his back. He didn't manage to take its head off, but it did stumble back a few steps, giving him a couple of seconds to check on Neptune.

Gabriel was going to murder him if he let the kid get hurt or worse, killed.

What he saw, however, was not an eviscerated girl, but rather a vampire with a broken arm, lying on the ground. She had apparently grabbed and tossed the creature when it had tried to grab her again, and now she was skipping (!) towards him. "Dontcha worry your handsome head, I got it. But I think there's a few more coming." She eyed his knife.

"That's a bit small, didn't you say we need to decapitate them?"

Sam glanced down at his weapon and then turned so he'd be ready for the vampire that was once again approaching him from behind. She seemed young and was probably freshly turned, judging by how sluggishly she reacted when he spun out of the way and tripped her, like that ever fucking worked.

It did. Newbie.

"The knife is just fine," he gritted out between clenched teeth while he stopped the momentum of the vampire's fall by grabbing a fistful of her hair. It yanked her head back, eliciting a choked sound of pain from the woman, and Sam was able to wrench the knife through the tendons standing out from her neck and, with a bit of effort, decapitate her fully. "See?"

Not his most graceful decapitation, but she was dead, obviously.

Neptune nodded, and was suddenly catapulted into, and through, the wall by the vampire she had previously disabled. She disappeared into the (thankfully empty) store with a cry of "Oh SHIIT!" which was backed by the sounds of breaking glassware and falling shelves, followed shortly by the strong sense of alcohol.

Neptune had found a liquor store. But there was no time to drink.
