Chapter 3
The Book
Later that day Rachel wearing her faded jeans and a white top and Mike in his dark green polo shirt with jeans, drove up to town to go to the library in Rachel's white '04 Range Rover. Rachel of course, was driving, she parked in the street, and spots Kristy with a black shirt and dark jeans, she remember it wasn't too long ago that Kristy was in the accident with her boyfriend.
"Hey, is every thing alright?" Mike asked
"If you don't mind telling us." Rachel said with a little smile
"We're cops and we're working this case." Mike explained
Catching her breath "Oh, um no, I don't mind, Rick my boyfriend, his doctors say, he has cancer and it's spreading rapidly and tests show he has 3 weeks to live. Can you please excuse me I have to go see him?" she runs in tears.
"Go, please, go see him." Rachel said as Kristy runs out. Turing to Mike "Now let's look back and try to find out what this thing is so I can go kill the son of a bitch."
"Sounds good to me" Mike said with a laugh.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Sam in his plaid shirt, ripped jeans and shaggy hair and Dean in his red long sleeve shirt wearing a leather jacket and jeans, his spiked up hair pull up to town in his black '69 Chevy Impala first looking first for a motel then a diner.
As Dean drives on, Sam spots Rachel and smiles, and she returns the smile, but Dean never sees this happen until they pass the library and sees Sam smiling.
Looking at Sam "What so funny"
"What?"
"Nothing" Dean just looks at him "Did we pass a cute girl?"
Sam just hit him.
"So you hungry, cause I'm starving."
"Yeah, look there's a diner right down the street from the library, we can first interview the couple, it said in the newspaper their names are Kristy and Rick, Kristy 16 and Rick 17."
"Did it say what hospital their in?"
"The guy is in the hospital, and its called Point Pleasant Memorial, about 10 to 15 minutes from the motel, over there."
"Okay, so let's get a room first then get lunch, interview them and after we'll do research at the library" pissed off, Dean replied "which means no time for sleep"
"Shut up Dean"
"Whatever man, I need to get some sleep tonight."
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O
At the library, Rachel and Mike walk up to the front desk to ask about files on accidents on State Route 17.
"Hello, how may I help you" the clerk said
"Yes, we are students at West Virginia University, and we are doing a thesis on accident on State Route 17 and we were hoping to get our hands on all the files, please?" Rachel said politely
"Wait one moment I'll bring them to you, where will you be?" the clerk asked them
"In the computer room" Mike said with a smile
They walked up to the computer room where they met the clerk who had brought in boxes of files. Mike enters but Rachel spots a section full of shelves labeled History, she walks up to it. She begins looking through the shelves and finds a book that reads "The Real Stories Of Point Pleasant Mysteries", the book had a weird picture of a creature on the cover which looked like a 'moth like creature' with what appeared to be bat wings. Rachel with her finger traces the picture and in an instant beings to have flashback view of its victims, her breathing hardness, her heart pounding quickly, she drops the book and walk backward and bumps into Mike.
"Rachel, what's wrong?"
"Uh, Oh, nothing." spaced
"Okay, come I think I found something"
O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.O.
Sam and Dean pulled up to the motel and checked themselves in.
"Hey Sam, while you unpack, how about I go get us some lunch?"
"Whatever!"
"Okay then, here we go" said Sam "room 12B" opening the door and pointing to the bed near the bathroom
The room was plain, light gray wallpaper with matching bed sheets. In the far left was the bathroom; up against the wall were 2 beds, in between the beds was a night table, the TV looked 20 years old and was sitting on top of the dresser facing the beds, on the opposite wall, there was also a wooden table that was on the far right near the door, where Dean had dropped his dark green duffle bag.
"Hey, Sam, you want your cheeseburger with mustard, lettuce and tomatoes?"
"Yeah sounds good." Said Sam unpacking.
Dean walks out.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O
Mike had set up all the files in a table away from the other people in the computer room.
"So, Mike what in the world have you found?"
"Well, for starters, most records show that all the victims are drivers who get really hurt and sick and die within 3 months."
"Okay, so you have been doing your homework." She said
"There is something supernatural going on." Said Mike
"Okay, let's keep digging"
O.O.O.O.O
Sam was in the room, reading from his laptop, when Dean entered the room with a brown paper bag.
"Lunch"
"Dean, you've been gone for almost 2 hours, where the hell did you go?"
"The Diner, where else?" Dean said
"Whatever, Let me guess you got her number?"
"Sam, I'm insulted" Sam just gives Dean a look
"What can I say?" said Dean laughing
"Yeah, whatever, so I found some things but nothing important just what we already know.
"So then the interview?"
"Has to be another day"
"Why"
"Well visiting hours are up"
"Okay then, let's eat." Handing Sam his lunch
Sam just rolled his eye and leaned back and both began to eat.
O.O.O.O.O.O.O
After lunch Sam and Dean walked in the library and headed to the computer room they find two other people there. Sam and Dean walk by and begin researching the accidents in State Route 17. They sat across Mike and Rachel on the opposite table, Sam looks up and sees Rachel but feels some strange vibe from her. A vibe which felt "supernatural". Sam gets up and walks up to her, but without seeing him, Rachel gets up and runs into the stacks of books but only this time Sam follows her unseen. Mike still looking for an answer runs into an article that show a picture of about 19 years ago, of Rachel's cousin, her uncle, and Rachel the day of her accident.
"Oh, God" Mike said with suspense in his voice. He looks to his right to see Rachel going though the stack of history books.
Rachel finds the same book with the weird picture engraved of what looks like a moth like creature on the cover, on the floor, she slowly walks up to pick it up and again experiences the flashback scenes, she then drops the book and backs away with her eyes closed as she turns, she bumps into Sam.
"Oh, I'm sorry." She says startled
"It's okay"
She then kneels down and picks up the book without touching the front cover and walks away, leaving Sam confused. She looks for Mike who is by the printer.
"Look," said Dean in the room "I found THIS book"
"Go and check it out we're leaving." Said Mike to Rachel
"Okay, umm, why?"
"I think I found something."
"Okay".
Rachel walks out and again bumps into Sam.
"Sorry" she said rushing to the front desk
Sam watches her walk away then heads back to the computer room.
"So Dean, found anything?"
"Yeah, I found the same case in Flatwood; it's about 30 minutes from here, do you want to go check it out today or tomorrow?"
"I don't care."
"Tomorrow it is then"
Mike sees and hears Dean and Sam talking about the same case. He looks at them and walks out to find Rachel leaning against the car.
"You ready?"
"Yeah, keys" Mike said with a smile.
"Mike, this book…"
"What about..,"
"I first found it on the stacks of books by the History section but when I picked it up…I saw one of the accidents in State Route 17, but the images were so fast I couldn't see any faces."
"Okay, so does it have anything useful in it?"
"I don't know it has some legend of a moth like creature spotted here in Point Pleasant"
"That's weird, I never heard about this before" said Mike unconcerned
"So, where are we going?"
"You'll see"
O.O.O.O.O
