Dean hated mysterious hints. Why couldn't Bobby just tell them what to look for rather that giving some riddle. Check under the bed. What were they looking for, the boogeyman? Sam seemed worried but wouldn't say anything, so whatever that moose had going on up there must be pretty bad. They arrived at the first victims house and it was like DejaVu. Perfectly clean with no signs of something weird going on. They went upstairs to the master bedroom. Dean flipped up the bed skirt and leaned down. Nothing obvious. So he laid down and crawled partially under. Wedged between the box spring and the wooden slats of the bed frame was a small piece of wood with a black carving on it.
"witch." Dean said while standing up. Sam took the small piece of wood. It looked like a slice of a tree branch. About an inch across. The carvings had been burned into the wood, then the pieces had been painted with a clear gloss. Whoever it belonged to, clearly took care of their magical items. The more Sam stared at it the more he came to realize what it was.
"Runes. This witch uses runes..." Sam sputtered. Dean of course had a blank look on his face. "Runes are a form of divination and also form an alphabet. This must belong to an old witch. If she's pissed off... we may need some help."
Sam and Dean went to all the victims homes and gathered the Runes. Sam made a list of all the ones they had, and the ones they were missing. Now if only they could figure out what the witch was doing with the bodies. After a quick call to Bobby, Sam and Dean traveled to Nashville to grab a bite. They went to Big Woods Pizzeria and Pub and did the Beer Sampler while waiting for their order. A busty waitress with a "keep calm and Quaff on" shirt was trying to get Dean's attention, but he was distracted... By a bright orange camaro turning down an alley.
"Tess." Dean stated, before standing and marching out the door to confront the woman who turned him down.
