"Hi. I think I got what you need." The voice on the

other end of the phone told Dean.

"Tell me everything." He demanded.

"Ok. Well, you know just about everything."

"Ok."

"After she drugged Sam she kissed him." There's

silence on the line. Dean frowns.

"Vala? Are you still there?"

"Yes. Where are you?"

"I'm outside."

"No. I want to know where you are exactly. Address."

"Why? What's going on?"

"I'm coming to you. I think that she transferred a

spirit to your brother."

"You're coming here to do what?" He asked,

suspiciously.

"Dean, I'm the Mambo here and I am the one who must

remove this spirit. I know how to remove it. I promise

that I will not harm him."

"Alright. We're at 15104 W Alpine. It's a motel.

The name is Rose Motel. Room 24."

"I will be there in twenty-four hours. And Dean?"

"Yeah?"

"Be careful."

"I will." They hang up. Dean turns as Sam opens

the door and smiles. "Ready?"

Sam closes the door and smiles. They get into the

car and drive away. Dean looks at Sam and Sam

glances over.

"What?"

"Are you sure you're alright? I mean, I came close

to losing you bro."

"Man, I'm fine. I'm hungry." Dean smiles at him as

they pull into a fast food place. He turns off the

car and they get out. They walk into the place and

look around. They place their orders and wait a few

minutes. They get their orders and walk to a table

in the corner. As they sit Sam looks around then

smiles at Dean.

"What?"

"Nothing. I'm just glad to be here."

"I'm glad you're here, too."

"I'm glad that I can be out and about here."
"It is; but only because I still have you around

to torment." Dean smiles. Sam grins and they begin

to eat. Later, Sam is just finishing up his meal

as Dean's cell rings. Dean looks at the caller ID.

He answers the phone.

"Hey. How's it going?"

"Dean, how's Sammy?" John's voice comes over his cell.

Dean stands and smiles at Sam.

"Hold on a moment." He looks around then at Sam.

"I'll be right back." He motions toward the bathroom.

Sam nods. Dean walks away. He walks into the bathroom.

"Dad, why? How?"

"Missouri called. She said that Sam was in trouble.

What happened?" His voice sounded worried on the other

end of the line.

"We've been here investigating some strange deaths.

Sam went to get information from the last victim's

friend. She drugged him and he almost died. But, he's

fine. While he was drugged, she performed a ritual"

"What kind of ritual?"

"Hoodoo."
"What!"

"I have someone coming to help me. She will be here

soon. She thinks Sam's been possessed by a spirit.

She's coming to help me." Dean shivers.

"This thing has killed three girls and we're going

to stop it."

"I'll be there in three hours." John said decisively.

"Dad, there's no..."

"He's my son not just your brother. I'll be there."

"Yes sir."

"And Dean?"

"Yes sir?"

"I don't hold you responsible." They hang up. Dean

walks back to the table. Sam looks at him.

"Ready?" Sam nods.

"Yeah." He stands and they walk out. As they start

to get into the car, Sam looks around. He suddenly

stops then looks at Dean.

"I'll be right back."

"Sam? Where..." Sam walks back into the fast food

place. He looks around then walks up to the counter.

The girl looks up and smiles. Sam looks back towards

the parking lot.

"May I take your order?"

"I've already eaten."

"Then how may I help you?" She looks confused.

"I..."

"Did you see that guy I walked out with?" She nods.

"He's forcing me to go with him."

She looks skeptical.

"But you're bigger..." She scoffed, looking doubtedly
at him.

"He has some friends who have my girlfriend. He wants

me to help him do something...I'd rather not."

"I'll call the police."

"No, please". He gives her a sad look. "I know where

she's at. I just need a head start. Please help me?"

She nods and Sam smiles.

"Thank you. Is there another way out of here?"

"Let me check with the crew chief." She walks over to

another woman. They talk and then look at him. The

older one nods and the girl walks over to a door

beside the counter. She opens the door and he walks

through. He walks out the other door. She

goes back to the counter as Dean walks in. Dean

looks around but doesn't see Sam. He walks to the

bathroom, opens the door and finds that it's

empty. He walks out and the girl behind the counter

is smiling. He walks over to her and she begins to

get nervous.

"M-May I take your order?"

"I was wondering if you'd see my cousin?" She

frowns. "He's about six-four, brown hair and green

eyes."

"No. Why?"

"Well he just got out of the hospital. He is having a

hard time dealing with her death."

"What?" She looks toward the back. When she looks

back, Dean is gone. Outside, Dean gets into his car

and turns the engine over. He drives off. His cell

rings and he answers it.

"Hello? Sam?"

"Dean?" John's voice comes over the his phone.

"Where are you?"

"I'm headed over to 2404 Winters Apartment 319."

"Where's Sam?'
"I think he's there."

"I'll meet you there." He hangs up and Dean frowns. A

few minutes later they pull up in front of the

building. John pulls up behind him. They get out at

the same time. They enter the building and get into

the elevator and the doors close. A few minutes later

the doors opens and they step out. Dean starts toward

the apartment when they hear a scream. They run.

Inside the apartment Nenet is cowed into a corner. Sam

is standing over her.

"What is it you want? I did what you told me to!"

"You almost cost me this body by your incompetence.

You know th price you have to pay." He reaches for her

and she screams. She moves her head and hits the wall

and screams. Dean and John burst through the door.

Dean stares as Sam is strangling Nenet.

"Sam! No!" Dean looks at his dad. John rushes over.

"Sam, let her go now! That's an order!" John's voice

booms. Sam releases her immediately. They hear a

commotion in the hall and Dean slips into the closet.

Detectives Eames and Goren rush in. They stare at Sam

then John. Goren takes out a cell phone and makes a

call.

"I need an ambulance. 2404 Winters Apartment 319."

He hangs up then looks at his partner. Sam looks at

him.

"What are you doing here?" Sam looks at him then at

the floor.

"That was my exact question. Sam, why are you here?"

Sam jumps.

"She put me into the hospital and I almost died. I

came here to find out why." They look at Nenet, who's

unconscious on the floor. Goren looks at Sam.

"You're the one." Sam looks at him and John stares at

them.

"We talked to the doctor"

"How did you know he'd be here?"

"We didn't. We've had this place under surveillance

and when she came back here we were called. We

actually came to talk to her." John nods.

"Have you seen your nephew? Dean?"
"No. I called him and he told me. I was on my way

to see Sam at his motel when I spotted him. I

followed him here." Detective Eames looks at John.

"Mr. Winchester?" John looks at her. "I'd like to talk

to you."

"Sure." They walk away from Sam and Bobby. John

positions himself so that he can watch sam. She looks

at him.

"How can I help you?"

"First I'd like to know about Sam."

"What about him? He's dealing with his grief. He lost

his girlfriend in a fire. He has been on a road trip

with his cousin."

"I see. Then, to lose his friend Katie. Still, he

shouldn't be here. He should leave all of this to

us. We do know what we're dealing with." She looks

at Nenet.

"She's killed three people and she will be punished."

Eames turns to looks at Goren. He's on his cell phone

and they walk back as he looks at them. He looks

around.
"What happened here?"

"I found her then confronted her and she backed away

from me. She hit her head." Sam looks at Nenet.

"I don't understand why she wanted to kill me. I still

don't." Goren and Eames look at each other.
