CHAPTER 3
"You say you boys are lawyers from the firm that makes those planes?"
Mrs Smith says as she hands Sam and Dean two cups of coffee and then sits down opposite them as they reside in the living room. Her once glowing complexion is now grey looking and she looks frail in her jeans and black top.
"Yes m'am, and we just wanted to say that we are very sorry for your lost"
Sam nudges Dean who is fiddling with the top button of his shirt. Dean quickly tries to make up for his rude behaviour and notices a picture of Davey on the sideboard.
"He was a good looking kid."
Mrs Smith looks at the photo Dean noticed.
"He took after his father."
"Is he around, maybe we could speak to him too?"
She turns back around and drops her head.
"He doesn't come home much lately."
Dean and Sam look at each other and realise that they are entering a very uncomfortable situation. Sam tries to correct the matter but Mrs Smith speaks first.
"Your here to see if I'll sue aren't you?" Sam goes to speak but nothing comes out so he looks to Dean for back up. "Because I won't. No matter what I do it won't bring back my Davey."
Mrs Smith holds back her tears as she looks back at the photo of Davey on the side.
"You boys want to see the pictures from his party?" Mrs Smith gets up and heads towards the sideboard.
"The one in the park? Yes ok." Dean quickly takes a sip of coffee as Mrs Smith hands him the photos.
"My friend dropped them round for me earlier. She thought it would help me with the….well with the grieving."
"It looks like he had a great day." Sam says smiling as he looks at the photos Dean passes to him.
"He did."
"Excuse me, who is this?" Dean says as he notices something on one of the pictures.
Turning the photo around, Mrs Smith sees that it is a picture of her, Davey and his friends when she was ushering them away from the young woman and her boy. Dean points to the woman in the background who has her head turned away from the camera.
"I have no idea. Her kid tried to join in the party. She was asleep in the park and left him alone if you can believe that. Excuse me." Says Mrs Smith as her house phone begins to ring.
As Mrs Smith walks out of the room Dean continues to examine the photo with the mystery girl.
"You seen this?" Dean says handing Sam the photo.
"What about it?" Sam says giving it a quick glance over.
"Check out the woman and the kid in the background. Notice anything weird about the boy?"
Sam gives the photo another look.
"His eyes are black."
"And there's only one kind of thing we now that can make someone's eyes do that don't we?
"A demon?"
"Sorry about that. People keep calling and saying how sorry they are." Says Mrs Smith as she comes back into the room.
"Did you say you don't know who this woman is?" Deans asks again.
"No idea. Why?"
"Err…just another witness we thought we could interview." Sam hands Mrs Smith back the pile of photos.
"Check the park. A lot of local mum's take their kids there. I….I used to."
Mrs Smith's eyes begin to fill with tears again as she looks at a photo of Davey that is on top of the pile Sam has just given her back.
"I'm sorry, you're going to have to excuse me." Says Mrs Smith as she stands up and places the photos back on the side board while Dean sneakily puts the photo in his jacket pocket without her noticing.
"We've got to be off anyway. Thank you for your time."
"And again we are very sorry, for everything." Sam places a warm hand on Mrs Smith's shoulder as she returns it with a smile.
As they walk towards the car Dean immediately undoes the top button of his shirt and takes off his tie.
"So what, demon's are possessing kids now?" Sam says as he gets in the passenger seat and loosens his tie followed by the top button of his shirt.
"Sure looks like it." Dean pulls out the photo and gives it another inspection.
"Dean, how are we meant to exorcise a demon from a child? Some grown adults don't survive an exorcism let alone a kid."
"Let's hope it doesn't come down to that."
"What, you think the demon will find another host?"
"Or we force it to. I don't know Sammy, first of we need to find this woman and take a closer look at her kid." Dean hands Sam the photo as he starts the car.
"You wonna start in the park?"
Dean nods and then puts the car in gear and drives off.
