Next stop on the list was Ronald Resnick. He was on duty as a security guard the night the bank was robbed. Kayla didn't go, she said she was going to do research on the locations and the robbers. Of course Dean knew she was still irritated with him; he still thought it was kind of funny. Sam rapped on the door.
"Mr. Resnick? Ronald Resnick?"
An obnoxiously bright flood light came on above them and a larger man came to the door.
"FBI Mr. Resnick."
"Let's see the badge."
They both pulled the badges from their jacket pockets and pressed them against the window.
"I already gave my statement to the police."
Dean tucked his ID back in. "Yeah a few things about your statement, we just wanted some clarification."
"You read it? And you want to hear what I have to say?" He sounded excited about the idea.
"That's right."
He hesitated, and then nodded. "Ok. Come in."
They followed him into his living room. The walls were covered in newspaper clippings about aliens and government conspiracies. Great, one of these guys. He had some big ideas about both robberies and was convinced that it wasn't the actual people that committed the crimes.
"What I let into the bank that night wasn't Juan." He stated. "It was his face, the features were perfect but too perfect. Like I was talking to a big Juan doll. I'm telling you, both robberies were committed by the same thing."
"And that is?" Sam asked, not amused whatsoever.
Ronald held up a magazine, there was a robot on the cover. "The Japanese have been working on them for years. Part man, part machine. But the kind that can change itself to look like other people."
"Like in T2." Dean smirked, he thought this guy was awesome.
"Exactly! Like a mandroid!"
And that was enough for Sam. "Right. And what makes you so sure about this Mr. Resnick?"
He grinned and put a VHS into the tape player. Apparently he'd made copies of the security video before the cops showed up and kept them at home for his "research". In the video, Juan was emptying the cash registers. Ronald paused the tape when Juan looked at the cameras.
"There! Laser eyes!"
Dean admitted the laser eyes thing was funny, but the fact that the eye reaction to video signified a shapeshifter wasn't. He hated shapeshifters. Ronald was alright by him, he wasn't that far off on his ideas, only the part about the part human part machine.
After Ronald had explained all his theories with great enthusiasm, Sam pretty much took a piss on his parade.
"I'm about to tell you the real deal and I want you to listen."
Ronald's eyes gleamed with excitement.
"There's no such thing as mandriods. There's nothing evil or inhuman going on out there, they're just people. Understand?"
Dean wanted to say something, that was just wrong.
"What about the laser eyes?"
"Just a camera flare Mr. Resnick. See I know you don't want to believe this, but your friend Juan robbed a bank and that's it."
They were promptly kicked out of the house, which Dean thought was justified. The guy did some good research on this and he deserved a break. He deserved at least one person telling him he wasn't crazy. Sam made a really Fed now that he was listening to him, too good. As much as he called Dean a dick, his brother was really good at it when he wanted to be.
