The next morning they followed the police scanner to a local department store where a woman had been murdered in broad daylight by a fellow shopper. Sam had thought they were all on the same page as far as working this incident; Bobby went to the precinct to try to speak with the killer, and Kayla was scoping the store for any signs of sulfur or EMF. Dean however, well, he was being Dean. He had his hand on some blonde's shoulder while he spoke sympathetically to her.
"You know what happened just proves how precious life really is. You have to cherish every moment."
Are you seriously going to pull this shit right now? Sam couldn't even try to block Kayla's furious thoughts as she tried to concentrate. He couldn't really blame her; Dean was flirting with the girl.
"Dean?"
He put his hand down and looked at his brother. "Hey."
The girl took the hint and walked off. "What are you doing?"
"Comforting the bereaved. What are you doing?"
"Working. You know, murder, dead body, possible demon attack."
"No kidding."
Bobby walked in wearing a suit with his hair slicked back; he adjusted his tie in the mirror as Dean let out a whistle.
"Dang Bobby what were you, a G-Man?"
"Assistant for the DA's office. So far this thing doesn't look like a demon attack. There was no blackout, no smoke, no memory loss or feeling of loss of control."
Kayla walked up and tried not to smirk at Bobby's suit. "So what was it?"
He shrugged, baffled himself. "She just really wanted those shoes."
"Someone just doesn't bash someone's head to death for a pair of shoes." Sam said.
"Well what did the shoes look like?"
"Kayla."
"What? Maybe they were really nice shoes!"
Dean grinned and linked an arm around her. "That's my girl."
Sam motioned back to the cop who was putting a green pair of high heels into an evidence bag. They were green.
Kayla shook her head a little in disgust. "Those? Those are so not worth it."
"Well there isn't any sulfur either, there's nothing."
"Maybe not nothing." Dean motioned to the security camera. "See? I'm working." He took a side glance at an employee as she walked by.
The video gave them a possible suspect. A man walked up to the woman who had killed in the store moments before it happened. He placed a hand on her arm and said something to her while motioning to the woman with the shoes. Looked suggestive enough. Sam froze the frame and printed out the guy's picture; time to do some tracking.
