Sam slowly approached where the man lay, to have a good look at him. The man coughed and spluttered blood over the asphalt, crying out some unrecognisable words.
"What happened to you?" Sam gently took a hold of his arm, and helped him up.
The man gradually lifted his head, and stared right into Sam's eyes. For a moment, he didn't say a word. Sam stood there, looking at him waiting in anticipation for his response. The man's eyes were blood shot, and by the looks of things hadn't slept in a few days.
"Do you want somewhere to clean up?" Sam urged.
The man's mouth curled back, showed his blood covered teeth and lunged for Sam, knocking him over to the ground. He lay above Sam growling and tried to take a bite from him. Sam quickly took got a hold of his shotgun which was led on the floor, and aimed it to the man's head and released the trigger.
"What the hell was that?" Dean had hastily ran to his brother's rescue, and kicked the man off him.
"Thanks." Sam sighed, while wiping the blood off his face.
They both looked down at the man on the side of the road.
"You don't think..." Sam suggested
"No, way. It's not possible. He must have been clinically insane, that's all." Dean looked out into the distance. "There is nothing here. Let's go."
"We can't just leave him there." Sam gestured to the dead body.
"It's ok. I'll deal with it. Buffy can travel with you two. I'll take a quick detour and get rid of the body. I'll catch up with you in Sunnydale." Giles offered.
The boys lifted the body into the back of Giles' car, and covered it with a blanket.
"That doesn't look at all suspicious." Buffy rolled her eyes. "Are you sure I can't come with you, Giles? I'm sure these two can make their own way there. Plus, you cannot exactly carry around, what looks like a 150 lbs man all by yourself."
"I'm sure I can cope, Buffy. Just go ahead. The faster we get a location on the demon, the quicker we can solve the problem."
Even though Giles has proven that he can in fact fight his own battles, Buffy still worried for him. That, and she didn't want to travel with Sam and Dean without Giles there. It would be an awkward trip to Sunnydale.
"It's ok blondie. We'll take good care of you." Dean patted Buffy's shoulder, and smiled.
Buffy glared back at him, and walked off towards the Impala. "This is going to be fun." She mumbled to herself.
