"We just gotta chill out, that's all. You know, if this was any other kind of job, what would we do?"
Sam sighs. "We'd try to figure out what we were dealin' with. We'd dig into the history of the house"
"Exactly, except this time, we already know what happened" Dean says.
"Yeah, but how much do we know? I mean, how much do you actually remember?" Sam asks.
"About that night, you mean? Dean asks as Sam nods "Not much. I remember the fire, the heat" He pauses for a moment "And then I carried you out the front door"
Sam looked surprised "You did?"
Dean nods "Yeah, what, you never knew that?" Sam shakes his head "And, well, you know Dad's story as well as I do. Mom was on the ceiling. And whatever put her there was long gone by the time Dad found her"
"And he never had a theory about what did it?" Brie asks.
"If he did, he kept it to himself. God knows we asked him enough times"
"Okay. So, if we're gonna figure out what's goin' on now we have to figure out what happened back then and see if it's the same thing" Sam says.
Dean nods "Yeah. We'll talk to Dad's friends, neighbors, people who were there at the time"
After a pause, Sam starts to speak "Does this feel like just another job to you?"
Dean says nothing for a moment "I'll be right back. I gotta go to the bathroom" He walks away. After turning a corner, he stands next to the bathroom door and takes out his cell phone. After making sure no one can see him, he dials a number.
It immediately goes to voicemail "This is John Winchester. If this is an emergency, call my son, Dean at 866-907-3235" The beep sounds.
"Dad? I know I've left you messages before. I don't even know if you'll get 'em" He clears his throat "But I'm with Sam and we're in Lawrence. And there's somethin' in our old house. I don't know if it's the thing that killed Mom or not, but" His voice breaks. He pauses, barely keeping himself together "I don't know what to do" He begins to cry "So, whatever you're doin', if you could get here. Please. I need your help, Dad" He hangs up sadly, with tears in his eyes.
When he turns around he see's Brie standing there, looking worried. She heard the voicemail Dean left. He tries to compose himself but fails, she walks over to him and gives him a hug.
He hugs her back "I thought you were with Sam and Elena?" He clears his throat.
She is still hugging him "I was but I seen how upset you were getting so I thought I'd come see how you were" she pulls away.
He forces a smile "Yeah I'm alright"
Brie, Elena, Dean and Sam are talking to the owner of the garage. "So you and John Winchester, you used to own this garage together?"
"Yeah, we used to, a long time ago. Matter of fact, it must be, twenty years since John disappeared. So why the cops interested all of a sudden?" The owner asks.
"Oh, we're re-opening some of our unsolved cases, and the Winchester disappearance is one of 'em" Elena responds.
"Oh, well, what do you wanna know about John?" The owner asks.
"Well, whatever you remember you know, whatever sticks out in your mind" Dean says.
"Well he was a stubborn bastard, I remember that" He laughs " And whatever the game, he hated to lose you know? It's that whole Marine thing" Dean and Sam nod "But he sure loved Mary. And he doted on those kids"
"But that was before the fire?" Brie asks.
The owner nods "That's right"
"He ever talk about that night?" Sam asks.
He shakes his head "No, not at first. I think he was in shock"
"Right. But eventually? What did he say about it" Sam presses.
"Oh, he wasn't thinkin' straight. He said somethin' caused that fire and killed Mary"
"He ever say what did it?" Dean asks.
"Nothin' did it. It was an accident, an electrical short in the ceiling or walls or somethin'. I begged him to get some help, but" The owner pauses "Oh, he just got worse and worse"
"How?" Dean asks.
"Oh, he started readin' these strange ol' books. He started goin' to see this palm reader in town"
"Palm reader? Uh, do you have a name?"
The owner scoffs "No"
Later, the car is parked by a payphone, where Sam is looking through a phonebook.m "All right, so there are a few psychics and palm readers in town. There's someone named El Divino. There's, uh" He laughs "There's the Mysterious Mister Fortinsky. Uh, Missouri Moseley"
"Wait, wait. Missouri Moseley?" Sam looks confused "That's a psychic?"
Sam nods "Uh, yeah. Yeah, I guess so"
Dean goes into the backseat of the car and pulls out John's journal "In Dad's journal, look at this" He opens to the first page "First page, first sentence, read that"
Sam starts reading "I went to Missouri and I learned the truth"
"I always thought he meant the state" Dean says shrugging
Missouri Moseley is escorting a man out of the house while Dean, Brie, Elena and Sam sit on the couch, waiting "All right, there. Don't you worry 'bout a thing. Your wife is crazy about you" The man thanks her and she closes the front door behind him "Whew. Poor bastard. His woman is cold-bangin' the gardener"
Brie eyes widen. "Why didn't you tell him?" Brie asks.
"People don't come here for the truth. They come for good news" They all stare at her "Well come on already, I ain't got all day" She leaves the room. They all exchange a confused look and follow her into the next room "Well, lemme look at ya" She laughs "Oh, you boys grew up handsome" She points a finger at Dean "And you were one goofy-lookin' kid, too"
Dean glares at her while Sam smirks "Sam" She grabs his hand "Oh, honey, I'm sorry about your girlfriend" The boys are shocked "And your father, he's missin'?"
"How'd you know all that?" Sam asks.
"Well, you were just thinkin' it just now." Sam raises his eyebrows, surprised.
"Well, where is he? Is he okay?" Dean asks.
Missouri shakes her head "I don't know"
"Don't know? Well, you're supposed to be a psychic, right?" Dean argues.
"Boy, you see me sawin' some bony tramp in half? You think I'm a magician? I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room, but I can't just pull facts out of thin air. Sit, please" Sam smirks at Dean and they sit down. Missouri snaps at Dean "Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table, I'm 'a whack you with a spoon!"
Dean defends himself "I didn't do anything"
"But you were thinkin' about it" She hits back as Dean raises his eyebrows and Brie and Elena smile "Okay. So, our dad when did you first meet him?"
"He came for a reading. A few days after the fire. I just told him what was really out there in the dark. I guess you could say I drew back the curtains for him" Missouri says.
"What about the fire? Do you know about what killed our mom?" Sam asks.
"A little. Your daddy took me to your house. He was hopin' I could sense the echoes, the fingerprints of this thing" She explains.
"And could you?" Sam asks.
"I..." She shakes her head.
"What was it?"
"I don't know. Oh, but it was evil" Missouri says softly. "So you think somethin' is back in that house?"
Sam nods "Definitely"
"I don't understand. I haven't been back inside, but I've been keepin' an eye on the place, and it's been quiet. No sudden deaths, no freak accidents. Why is it actin' up now?" Missouri asks.
"I don't know. But Dad going missing and Jessica dying and now this house all happening at once, it just feels like something's starting"
"That's a comforting thought" Dean says sarcastically.
The doorbell rings, Jenny answers it and see's Sam, Dean, Elena, Brie and Missouri at the door. "What are you doing here?"
"Hey, Jenny. This is our friend, Missouri" Sam introduces.
"If it's not too much trouble, we were hoping to show her the old house. You know, for old time's sake"
"You know, this isn't a good time. I'm kind of busy" Jenny says.
"Listen, Jenny, it's important" Missouri smacks him on the back of the head "Ow!"
"Give the poor girl a break, can't you see she's upset" She say to Dean. She look at Jenny "Forgive this boy, he means well, he's just not the sharpest tool in the shed, but hear me out" Dean looks stunned.
"About what?" Jenny asks.
"About this house" Missouri says "I think you know what I'm talking about. You think there's something in this house, something that wants to hurt your family. Am I mistaken?"
"Who are you?"
"We're people who can help, who can stop this thing. But you're gonna have to trust us, just a little" Jenny looks unsure.
A few moments later, Missouri and the others are in SARI's bedroom. "If there's a dark energy around here, this room should be the center of it"
"Why?" Sam asks.
"This used to be your nursery, Sam. This is where it all happened"
Sam, Elena and Brie glance at the ceiling. While Missouri looks around the room, Dean pulls out his EMF meter "That an EMF?"
Dean nods "Yeah"
"Amateur" Dean glares at her as Brie laughs. He nudges Sam and shows him that the EMF is beeping frantically "I don't know if you boys should be disappointed or relieved, but this ain't the thing that took your mom"
"Wait, are you sure?" Sam asks as she nods "How do you know?"
"It isn't the Same energy I felt the last time I was here. It's somethin' different"
"What is it?" Elena asks.
"Not it" She opens the closet "Them. There's more than one spirit in this place"
"What are they doing here?" Brie asks as Dean stands next to her.
"They're here because of what happened to your family. You see, all those years ago, real evil came to you. It walked this house. That kind of evil leaves wounds. And sometimes, wounds get infected"
Sam looks confused "I don't understand"
"This place is a magnet for paranormal energy. It's attracted a poltergeist. A nasty one. And it won't rest until Jenny and her babies are dead" Missouri says.
"You said there was more than one spirit"
Missouri nods "There is. I just can't quite make out the second one"
"Well, one thing's for damn sure, nobody's dyin' in this house ever again. So whatever is here, how do we stop it?" Dean asks
