DISCLAIMER

Appleton, Wisconsin is a real place. Supernatural belongs to the WB. I only own the bad guy who will be showing up soon. Story deals with cutting which I only know about from "Higher Ground" and a movie called "Secret Cutting".

After what seemed to be several minutes, Sam heard the door opening.

"Sammy?" Dean asked. Sam's eyes widened. Dean! He was back and he hadn't cleaned his wrist or his knife. Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! Shoot! his mind screamed. Jumping up, he locked the door, and then turned on the faucet and let the water splash over the weapon.

"Sammy?" Dean asked again.

"Yeah, I'll be out in a sec!" Sam called back. After the knife was clean, Sam ran his wrist under the water. Then, he grabbed a dark washcloth and placed it over the wound. Suddenly, he blinked. The reflection in the mirror wasn't his. It was Jessica!

"Jess," he whispered.

"Are you doing it again, Sam?" Jessica asked.

"What?" Sam wondered.

"Sam, are you cutting again?" Jessica continued.

"No. Leave me alone," Sam snapped. With that, he turned his attention to his wrist. Once the wound was cleaned, he stuffed the washcloth into a drawer. Then, he unlocked the door.

"What were you doing in there?" Dean questioned.

"It's a bathroom. Take a guess," Sam snapped. Then, "What'd you find out?"

"Well, according to this girl I met---Carrie---there was another death last week. Exact same MO as the other person we saw," Dean told him.

"Slit wrists, burns on the arms?" Sam guessed.

"Yep," Dean confirmed.

"What else do these deaths have in common?" Sam asked.

"Both bodies were found in the doc's office," Dean stated. Sam just stared.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

You'll learn how Jess knew about the cutting later.
