PART FIVE

"I'll bet you that's her," said Dean, pointing to a goth looking girl hanging up posters on the doors of a movie theater. "Yeah," said Sam as they approached the girl. "You must be Amy," said Dean. She looked up at the guys and nodded. "Yeah," she said. "Troy told us about you, we're his uncles," he went on. "I'm Dean, this is Sammy." She gave them a strange look. " He never mentioned you to me," she told them. Dean gave her a small nod. "Well, that's Troy, I guess. We're not around much, we're up in Modesto."

Another goth girl approached them, coming to a stop at Amy's side. "Hey, are you okay?" she asked. "Yeah," said Amy gratefully. "Do you mind if we ask you a couple of questions?" Sam asked. Any and Rachel led them towards a restaurant.

"I was on the phone with Troy," Amy explained. "He was on his way home. He said he would call me right back, but he never did." "He didn't say anything strange or out of the ordinary?" Sam asked her. "No, nothing I can remember," she answered.

Sam looked at her necklace, a pentagram. "I like your necklace," he said to her. Amy smiled fondly. "Troy gave it to me," she said. "Mostly to scare my parents with all that devil stuff." "Actually," said Sam, "It means just the opposite. A pentagram is a protection against evil. Really powerful." Dean gave him a look. "I mean, if you believe in that stuff," he finished lamely. "Okay," said Dean. He looked at Sam again and said, "Thank-You 'Unsolved Mysteries'." He turned to the girls. "Here's the deal ladies. The way Troy disappeared, something isn't right. So if you've heard anything..." He trailed off as Amy and Rachel exchanged a glance. "What is it?" He asked.

"Well," said Rachel. "It's just... with all these guy's going missing, people talk." Now the brothers exchanged a glance and asked together, "What do they talk about?" "It's kind of this local legend," said Rachel. "This one girl, she got murdered on Centennial... like decades ago. Well, supposedly, she's still out there. She hitchhikes, and whoever picks her up, well they disappear... forever."

Sam and Dean exchanged another glance. "Just one last question," said Dean. "Do you know where I can find Tatum Riley?" To his surprise, Amy nodded. "Yeah, she's usually in Hannigan's Bar." "Thank-You," said Sam. "It's a tough crowd in there," Rachel warned them. "And a lot of really weird looking people." "Thanks," said Dean, as the guys made a quick break.
