They don't see any other people as they walk down the street to St. Annes. A breeze rustles the leaves on the trees and drops the temperature a few degrees. Thankfully, the church is dark and desolate as they approach the doors that lead to the basement. They stop; Dean unzips the duffel bag and hands a shot gun to Cas.
"See any spirits, shoot 'em."
Cas examines the shot gun, he's used one before and it was surprisingly efficient, but it's not his first choice for a weapon.
Meanwhile, Sam successfully picks the lock and Dean, duffel bag over shoulder and shot gun and flashlight ready, leads the way. He's followed by Cas and Sam. Their flashlights shine upon the marble crypt as they enter the historical center. Dean has Cas wait by the stairs that lead back outside to keep watch, then he sets his bag down and starts digging through it for tools. He pulls out a sledgehammer.
"This should work."
Before Sam can object that they should try not to completely destroy the crypt, Dean swings the hammer and puts a crack in the marble.
"So much for being inconspicuous," Sam mutters as he helps Dean slide the cracked pieces off until they can see the faint outlines of bones.
Cas checks their progress then goes back to watching for interferences whether they be spirits or humans.
The job would be quicker if they could just burn the bones where they are, but they're inside and don't really want to cause more damage to the church than they already have. So, Sam and Dean grudgingly grab piles of bones and toss them into a garbage bag.
Cas decides to check on what appears to be another exit from the basement. He scouts ahead and ends up in the cemetery behind the church. Something doesn't seem right to him, the air feels colder. That's when she appears, Magdelaine's vengeful spirit. She might have held an ethereal beauty, had she not had the look of pure hatred on her face. Cas fumbles slightly with his shot gun, trying to remember how it works. Sam and Dean finally reach the cemetery just in time to see Cas pull the trigger and Magdelaine dissipate. They rush over to Cas.
"Nice shot," Dean praises the angel.
Cas nods and appears to be more confident in completing their task after that.
They manage to find a place to put the bones that is mostly hidden and only has a small chance of catching something on fire. Cas pours salt on the bones then Sam splashes lighter fluid on top of that. Just as Dean pulls out his lighter, the spirit reappears. This time she sends a shovel flying in Cas's direction. He ducks out of the way while Sam shoots a salt round into Magdelaine, buying them some more time.
"Come on, come on," Dean angrily tries to get his lighter to work. Finally a flame appears and he tosses it onto the bones which become engulfed in fire.
"Is it done?" Cas inquires as he joins the Winchesters by the fire.
"Yeah think so," Dean says.
"We should stay another day though, just to make sure it worked." Sam suggests.
They all agree on that.
