Prologue…
A bedroom door opened and a woman, Janet, followed by a man, Paul, walked in dressed in formal attire. Paul switched on the bedroom light as Janet tossed her purse on the bed.
"That was just a terrible, terrible party."
Paul smirked as he came up behind her, "But there was this one really beautiful woman there.
Janey smirked as well, "You should have gone home with her."
"I did."
Janey turned around and kissed him as he unzipped her dress.
She stepped out of it once it fell to the floor, "I need a few minutes."
"Alright." He grinned, "There's a bottle of '89 in the fridge."
They kissed once more before he walked out the door and she crossed the room to enter the bathroom. She removed her diamond necklace in front of the bathroom mirror and set it aside before grabbing a new toothbrush box and opening it. As she began brushing her teeth she felt an odd sensation of pain before she reached into her mouth and wiggled one of her front teeth loose into her hand.
"Oh God."
Janet turned slowly, feeling around the inside of her mouth with her tongue. She reached inside her mouth again and removed another tooth.
A look of horror crossed her face as she put both teeth in the palm of her hand, "Paul!"
Paul sprinted into the bedroom upon hearing her shout, "What is it?"
"It- It's my teeth."
Worry crossed his face as he rushed forward, but the bathroom door slammed shut and the deadbolt locked into place.
Paul pounded on the door, "Janet!"
"Help me!"
Paul kept banging on the door, as blood dripped down Janet's chin. She began choking and turned to bend over the sink, spitting out a tooth and more blood. She then began spitting out more teeth as she coughed up blood as well. Janet turned away from the sink, holding her hand in front of her mouth, still coughing up blood.
Paul banged on the door which shook but didn't unlock. He backed up from the bathroom door and went to kick it down as the deadbolt turned and the door swung slowly open. He stared in horror as the door swung open more, revealing Janer lying on the floor with blood surrounding her mouth motionless. The sink was splattered with blood and teeth as one tooth rolled toward the drain.
Present Day: The Dutton Bedroom…
Angel and Asa stood questioning Paul about Janet while Dean searched the bedroom for clues as to what happened and Sam the bathroom.
"She was so scared. I couldn't help; I couldn't do anything to stop it." He looked between Asa and Angel, "I- I've talked to the police, and I've talked to the medical examiner and no one can explain it."
Angel nodded, "That's why they put the call in to us Mr. Dutton."
"But the CDC… that's disease control, right? What do you think; it's some kind of virus?"
"We're not ruling anything out yet, sir."
Asa earned his attention, "Mr. Dutton did Janet have any enemies?"
"I'm sorry?"
"Anyone that might have a reason to hurt her?"
"Wait, what are you saying?" His eyes narrowed, "That somebody poisoned her?"
"Sir…" Angel kept her voice soft, "He's just saying that we need to cover every base here."
"Well, I- I mean, what kind of poison? You think a person could have done this?"
"Would anyone want to?"
"What?!" He stood instantly as he reeled from her question, "No, no, there's just no one that could've-"
He stopped mid sentence and his eyes went wide as he realized something.
Sam opened the bathroom door as Dean looked over to the tense man, "Mr. Dutton?"
"Uh…" His eyes swept over Angel and Asa but he wouldn't meet their gaze, "Everyone loved Janet."
Angel and Asa each shared a look which meant they knew he was hiding something when Sam nodded at all of them. He was done investigating.
"Okay. Thank you very much, Mr. Dutton." Dean nodded at him as he led the other three out, "I think we've got everything we need. We'll get out of your way now."
As they exited the Dutton house into the rain towards the impala, Angel shook her head at her brothers.
"That guy's hiding something. He was totally evasive. Clammed up right at the end there." She motioned to Sam and Dean, "Find anything?"
"Yeah." Sam pulled a hex bag out and handed it over, "Under the sink."
Dean immediately grimaced as Angel opened it, "Awe gross."
"Yeah, there are bird bones, rabbit's teeth." Sam motioned, "This cloth is probably cut from something Janet Dutton owned."
"Great." Angel sighed as she handed the bag back to Sam and resumed the walk to the impala, "So we're dealing with a witch."
"Yeah, and not some new age wicked water douser either. This is Old World black magic. I mean, warts and all."
As they all got into the impala Dean grimaced and groaned again, "I hate witches!" The three of them chuckle at that as he continued, "They're always spewing their bodily fluids everywhere. It's creepy, you know, it's down right unsanitary."
"I'm in agreement with you there, little brother." Angel nodded, "Someone definitely had it out for Janet Dutton bad enough to sneak into that house and plant the bag."
"So what are we thinking? We're uh, looking for some old craggy Blair bitch in the woods?"
"No, that's the problem." Asa shook his head, "It could be anyone. Neighbor, coworker, man, woman. Witches are like everyone else. But this…" He motioned to the house, "This wasn't random. This person we're looking for is already in her life, with one giant axe to grind. Janet Dutton was targeted for a reason. We find that reason…"
Sam nodded, "We find the motive."
Dean started the impala and pulled away from the curb, "We find the murderer."
Later on…
Paul sat in his car pulled over on the side of the street and reached over to turn on the radio. Every Rose Has its Thorn by Poison started to play on the radio as he began to eat a burger. As he chewed he put down the burger and went to check his watch, but his wrist was bare and he looked confused. He picked up his burger and resumed his chewing as the radio goes static and the song changes to I Put a Spell on You by Screamin' Jay Hawkins.
Paul laid down his burger on the passenger seat of his car and maggots fell out onto the wrapper. He reached and turned off the radio before picking it back up and taking another bite. As he began to chew, he made a face and went to reach into his mouth, lifting his burger and looking down at it.
Disgust filled him when he saw it was covered in maggots, "Aah!"
He dropped the burger as I Put a Spell on You came back on the radio and leaned forward, starting to choke. He opened the door of his car, falling out onto the pavement hunched over as the Winchesters and Asa arrived in the Impala.
Dean ran over to Paul as he yelled at the others, "Check the car!" The three of them frantically searched the car as he tried to help Paul, "Guys!"
"Right here!" Sam removed the hex bag as Dean pulled Paul up from the pavement, "Got it!"
He lit the hex bag on fire and dropped it to the ground as it glowed with blue and green flames. Paul recovered from choking and leaned back against his car.
"What the hell is happening to me?!"
"Look, someone murdered your wife and now they're after you buddy." Angel informed as she knelt beside her brother, "That's what's happening to you."
"That's impossible! There's no way-"
"Had we not been following you around all day you wouldn't be having this conversation. Now, focus. Who wants you dead?" As he shook his head and stuttered she ushered him hurriedly, "Come on, buddy. You seemed to have an idea earlier."
"There's a woman- uh-"
"A woman?" Dean repeated, motioning him on as well, "Okay?"
"An affair, a mistake. She was unbalanced. She was blackmailing me and I put an end to it a week ago."
"This woman got a name?"
"Wha- What could she have to do with-"
"Hey! Come on!" Angel snapped hurriedly, "What's her name, Paul?"
