Frankenstein

Comic

"For something from a place called The Nasty Burger, the food is pretty good."

Dean took a big bite of his burger. Sam did the same thing to his own tofu one and flipped through the local paper. "Seems as though this town has become acclimated to these ghosts here. The fight between Phantom and…Boxy is mentioned as cause for some minor damage at a local furniture store. People are donating for the damage. And some unnamed collector bought the most damaged item for triple the amount. Apparently it's all not even front page news worthy, the third page."

"What's with those names even? Those aren't even real names, they're…bad comic book names."

"No idea. We should go into their archives, since reports on these things are frequent enough to make it to the paper. See if there is any mention of Mitchell's sister or one that sounds like her." Sam took a drink of his water, looking at the paper and the other people in the fast food restaurant. One talkative Hispanic girl wore a fan club t-shirt for Phantom as she chatted to a friend by the fountain drink machine. "I mean, it's crazy, but these people are used to these things in their town and they take it as fact rather than a matter of belief like most other people outside of our line of work. Petey hasn't returned your call yet?"

Dean shook his head. "Nope. But Mitchell said his son is recording tracks with his band over parts of the kid's winter break. Could be late by the time the kid sees I even called him."

"Right. These things may not be what we call ghosts, but they are definitely something up our alley."

"Up our ghost alley and then take a turn face first into weirdville's creature wall. Dead end crazy."

"Let's research and ask about, see if we can figure out what we are dealing with. Put off asking the couple here about their research for tomorrow. They may not have been as crazy as we first thought," Sam forced out. His face read doubtable.

Dean snorted.

"Yeah right. The whole town went crazy with them."

A smile twitched across Sam's mouth. "Maybe you shouldn't be eating the burgers here then Dean. Could be in the food."

"How dare you." Dean stared wide eyed at Sam. Why would anyone even joke about such a thing? Especially his own brother. "My food would never betray me."


Next word, stunned.
