MEN OF LETTERS' BUNKER

Sam is preparing some weapons to rescue Castiel, along with Corinna, Bobby, Jack, Maggie, Elena and Mary.

"It's a trap." Mary Says

"Yep." Sam Says

"This guy's a-" Bobby Says

"Demon." Sam Says

"He just told you he was a demon?" Jack Says

"Yeah. He seemed pretty proud of it, too." Sam Says

"Yeah, they ain't a real humble bunch." Bobby Says

"I really wouldn't match the word humble, with Demon..they can be real snarky and stuck up too." Corinna Says

"So, what do we do?" Maggie Asks, as Sam loads his gun.

"We get Cas back. All right, grab holy water, Devil's Trap bullets, angel blades, because whatever we're walking into-" Sam Says

"It's gonna suck." Bobby Says

"Exactly. Maggie, Corinna you're with Bobby. Mom, you're with me." Sam Says

"I'm coming, too. I know I'm not as strong as I used to be, but... I can help..I have to." Jack Says

"Listen, kid-" Bobby Says

"Okay. Grab your gear." Sam Says, as Jack smiles at him and hurriedly leaves to prepare.

"Sam, I mean Jack's a worker, but he ain't ready for a full-on demon smackdown." Bobby Says

"So...we keep an eye on him. He needs this, Bobby." Sam Says

"Okay then." Bobby Says, he sighs then leaves.

"What about you Louise, you ready?" Corinna Asks

"Nah I'm just gonna stay back, you guys go on." Elena Says

"Again, Elena come on we could use your help." Sam Says

"Yeah, you haven't hunted in about two weeks." Mary Says

"Maybe I need a break okay." Elena Says

"Elena.." Corinna Says

"Guys look I'm fine please go save Cas okay, you'll be fine without me." Elena Says, Corinna sighs and nods.

"Okay." Corinna Says

MOTOWN'S BBQ MEATS

Kipling grabs a cup of coffee from the bar. Castiel is still chained to the chair, bloody from his previous fight with the demons.

"And danke, sweetie." He sits next to Castiel, "Castiel, you sure I can't get you anything hot
and black?" Kipling Says

"Coffee has no effect on me." Castiel Says

"Hm. Me either." He sips his coffee, "You know, not anymore, but it's like saltwater taffy or infants you know, I just like the taste." Kipling Says

"Why are you doing this?" Castiel Asks

"I'm just trying to be a good host like Mother would have wanted." Kipling Says

"No, w-" He rattles his chains, "Why are you using me as bait?" Castiel Asks

"I mean, it's kind of what you're for, isn't it? And I need something...from Sam Winchester." Kipling Says

"You really think that he's gonna make a deal with you?" Castiel Says

"Oh, he's dealt with worse. You see, recently, I had a revelation. You know, somebody asked me what it was that I wanted, and I realized that after 600 years as a demon walking the planet, destroying, drinking, defiling-you know, the Three D's-I didn't know.
So, I sat back, and I gave it a good think, and I realized exactly what I wanted." Kipling Says

"And what is it?" Castiel Says

"Everything." Kipling Says

IMPALA

We see the Impala speed down the road, followed by another car. Sam is driving while Corinna is sitting shotgun, Mary is asleep in the backseat.

"Sam, it's gonna be fine." Sam scoffs, "What?" Corinna Says

"Stop saying that, please." Sam Says

"Stop saying what?" Corinna Says

"It's gonna be fine," that everything's gonna be fine, we're gonna find Dean, and-" Sam Says

"Because we are." Corinna Says

"You don't know that..Dean's gone, and we have no idea where he is or-or if he's even still alive. You know, Michael could have...burned him out or... worse, and..." Sam Says

"I know. I know he's out there, scared and alone. I know. I know he might never come back. Never think I don't know that..But-I can't-we have to think about the good, Sam, because, if I don't, I will drown in the bad. For your sake and Elena's, I can't do that. We can't do that." Corinna Says, as Sam looks over at her.

BOBBY'S CAR

Bobby, Maggie and Jack are following right behind the Impala. Bobby glances at Jack.

"Listen, Jack. On the other side, you saved me and mine a dozen times. Now, things may have changed, but...whatever happened-whatever happens we got your back." Bobby Says

"Thanks." Jack Says

MOTOWN'S BBQ MEATS

Sam, Corinna, Mary, Bobby, Maggie and Jack arrive in the location where Castiel is being held captive. They get out of their cars. Sam hands Mary the demon knife.

"Here." Sam Says

"The Demon Killing Knife. Are you sure?" Mary Says

"Yeah. They'll search me. It's safer with you. All right. You know what to do." Sam Says, then
heads to the bar's entrance.

Sam cautiously walks into the local and the demons look at him, and Kipling smiles at him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the great...Sam Winchester." Kipling Says

A male demon searches Sam and Kipling puts his drink down.

"I have heard so much about you. You are a damn legend, Sam-a-an icon. Th-The shoulders, the-the hair. Mm-mm! You are my Beyoncé." Kipling Says, as Sam looks at Castiel.

"Cas, you okay?" Sam Asks

"Of course he is. I don't damage the merchandise." Kipling Says

"I'm more embarrassed than I am hurt." Castiel Says

"And you are?" Sam Asks

"Kipling. Uh, "Kip" for short." He Says, lending out his hand for Sam to shake which he doesn't.

"Cool. Kip. I'm here like you asked, so-" Sam Says

"Yeah, you're here, but not exactly as I asked. You see, I told you to come alone. But..." Kipling Says

A group of demons have captured Jack and Maggie and they bring them in.

"Found them outside. They didn't even put up a fight." He Says

"I'm sorry, Sam." Jack Says, then one of the demons punches Jack in the stomach.

"It's fine. You...tried. But I'm gonna need a little bit more now, you know, not to...eat them. I-It's just, you know, late capitalism. You understand. So, Sam, let's make a deal." Kipling Says

"You're looking to make a deal?" Sam Says

"I'm a demon. That's how we do." Sam glances at Maggie and Jack, "Please." He sternly taps a stool next to him, "Sit. No? Suit yourself, barbarian." Kipling Says

"What do you want?" Sam Asks

"That is a very good question. What do I want? You know, I don't know if you're aware or not, Sam, but Hell's in a bit of a pickle, you know, with Crowley dead and Asmodeus Kentucky fried, which means-" Kipling Says

"I don't care." Sam Says

"Yes, you do. Or you will. You see, for the first time in a very long time, Hell is without a King. And that that's just not right. So, I-" Kipling Says

"So, you volunteer." Sam Says

"Exactly." Kipling Says

"Why are you telling me all this?" Sam Asks

"Because I want to work with you, Sam, not against you." Kipling Says

"And is that why you took me hostage?" Castiel Says

"It's exactly why you're still breathing. It gives me a chance to show Sam and friends that I can hurt them but choose not to. You see, I want the Crowley Deal. I give you information, a spot of help every now and again, and in return, you choose to turn a blind eye to the crossroads deals, the demon-on-demon violence, et cetera." Kipling Says

"We never gave Crowley that deal." Sam Says

"How exciting. Then I would be breaking new ground." Kipling Says

"All right. You got some good lines, I'll give you that much, but you're no Crowley. I know that. And so do they." Sam Says

"Ouch!" He laughs, "Owie! I know that I'm not that ponce-y son of a bitch. You see, in life, I rode with Genghis Khan, and I burned half the world.
So, please, do you think that I like prancing
around like this? Please." He menacingly
approaches Sam. "If I had it my way, I would eat your heart. But a King has an image to maintain. And I'm not afraid of you. But, they are." He glances at the other demons. "So, take the deal, Sam, before I stop trying to be Crowley and I show you who I really am. So, what do you say, darling?" Kipling Says

"No." Sam Says

"A-Are you sure, because I know things-a-all sorts of things." Kipling Says

"Yeah. So do I." Sam Says

"Like?" Kipling Says

Mary, Corinna and Bobby break in and they start shooting, making the fire alarm go off. Everyone else seeks shelter, Mary throws Ruby's Knife to Sam.

"Sam!" Mary Says

"How smart." Kipling Says

Sam and Kipling start fighting. One of the demons comes from behind the counter and tries to attack Mary, she dodges his attack and hits him over the head with a glass jar. Then bangs his head several times over the counter, then kills the demon with an angel blade.

The demon female bartender punches Corinna in the face, and they start throwing several rights and lefts.
The Demon takes Corinna's arm and twists it, she groans out in pain. Corinna then kicks the demon in the leg, she goes down and Mary tosses her an Angel blade and Corinna stabs the demon in the mouth, killing her. Meanwhile Jack and Maggie are hiding behind the bar.

"Hey. Stay low." Jack Says

A couple of demons are beating up Bobby and Jack steps up.

"Hey! Get away from him." Jack Says

"Aw, balls." Bobby Says

One of the demons punches Jack and he goes down, Corinna then jumps in and punches the demon in the face. Sam is still fighting with Kipling, Mary goes to Maggie, who's still hiding.

"Take this." She gives Maggie her angel blade. "
"You know how to use it?" Mary Says

"Uh, stab them with the pointy end?" Maggie Says

"Pretty much. Okay." Mary Says

"Okay." Maggie Says

Sam and Kipling keep fighting as Castiel watches, another demon tackles Mary down and punches her several times in the face, she begins choking Mary until, Maggie stabs her in the back with the angel blade.

Two more demons attacks Mary and Maggie, Jack keep getting his face kicked in. The demon who's Corinna's fighting bangs her face against the counter, he starts choking her as she reaches for the angel blade. Meanwhile Kipling is about to overpower Sam, He takes Ruby's knife.

"Cool." Kipling Says

Sam uses this as an opportunity as Kipling is being distracted, he grabs the knife and kills him.

"Enough!" All the demons stops and everyone stops fighting, "There will be no new King of Hell. Not today. Not ever. And if anybody wants the job, you can come through me. Understood? So, what's it gonna be?" All demons leave their vessels, "That's what I thought." Sam Says

MEN OF LETTERS' BUNKER

Sam is sitting at the table, pressing a cold beer to his forehead. He's having a phone conversation.

"Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I-No, I don't care. I-Just keep looking. Yeah. Thanks." Sam Says, then hangs up.

"Who was that?" Castiel Asks

"Uh, Ketch." He chuckles, "He's in London searching for the Newton-Dee Hyperbolic Pulse Generator." Sam Says, as Castiel sits down.

"The what?" Castiel Says

"It's the-It's the magic egg that kicked Lucifer out of the President. I thought we could use it on Michael, but Ketch can't find it. So, that's another dead end, which is just awesome." Sam Says

"Sam, are you all right?" Castiel Asks

"Yeah, I've been better. I've been worse. You?" Sam Says

"I'm-I'm just sorry. I should never have gone to those demons." Castiel Says

"Cass, I-No, I-I-I don't blame you. I... Honestly, I-I wish I'd have thought of it first. If it meant finding Dean, I-I'd work with-I'd do anything." Sam Says

In the Kitchen, Mary closes the refrigerator and walks to the table where Bobby is, she sets down two beers.

"Not bad today, old man." Mary Says

"You, too, sunshine." Bobby Says, they clink their beer bottles together.

In Jack's room he's looking at himself in the mirror, looking at his beaten face.

"Hey, Jack." Castiel Says

"I'm fine." Jack Says

"You did well." Castiel Says

"All I did was get punched in the face." Jack Says

"Well, to be fair, we all got punched in the face." Castiel Says

"That's not-Before, when I had my powers, I-I could have done something, and-" Jack Says

"Jack. You don't-You-you don't have your powers. And you-your grace should regenerate in time, but until then-" Castiel Says

"I'm useless. I can't kill demons, I can't find Dean, and Michael is in our world, and I can't stop him. I can't do anything. I don't have anything." Jack Says

"Oh, Jack, that's just not true. You've got me. You have all of us. You have your family. And-And we are going to find Dean and we are going to beat Michael and we're going to do it together. We-Because that's what we do." Castiel Says, then leaves.

Meanwhile Corinna is one of the empty rooms in the bunker, she's looking at the cut under her eye. The door opens and, it's Sam.

"Hey." Sam Says

"Hey." Corinna Says

"You okay?" Sam Asks

"Oh you know my eyes almost swollen and bleeding, but yeah I'll be fine." Corinna Says

"So I'll take that as a yes." Sam Says, as Corinna chuckles.

"I guess so." Corinna Says

Corinna sits down on the bed, as Sam walks in and sits down with her.

"Listen I just want to say I'm sorry." Sam Says

"For what?" Corinna Asks

"For being a bit of dick earlier." Sam Says

"A bit." Corinna Says

"It's just..it's hard to just have faith, don't get me wrong a part of me thinks that Dean is definitely still out there and that he's holding on. But there's also this part of me that thinks, he's just completely gone...and the more and more these weeks go on and we're getting nothing, I'm losing hope." Sam Says

"I understand, but the man that I fell in love with..would never give up on his big brother. He would literally do anything to save him, and that's what I love about you. I know I keep saying it, but I believe we are going to find Dean, and we're going to bring him home." Corinna Says

"You believe that." Sam Says

"Yeah I do, and I know you do too." Corinna Says, caressing Sam's cheek.

"Okay we'll start fresh tomorrow." Sam Says

"After you get some sleep, I'm serious Sam." Corinna Says

"Yeah yeah I know, I'll sleep tonight I promise." Sam Says

"Okay, now go shower you kinda stink." Sam half smiles at her, "There's that smile I missed." Corinna Says

"You always find a way huh." Sam Says

"Mhm." Corinna Says

Sam leans in and kisses her, Corinna deepens the kiss. A few moments later Sam goes into his room, He turns the light on and leaves his phone on the table. The phone starts vibrating: an incoming call and he picks up.

"Hello?" Sam Says

"Sam?" Sister Jo Says

"Jo?" Sam Says

"Yeah. We have a problem." Sister Jo Says

WAREHOUSE

Somewhere in a abandoned old warehouse, Michael is talking to a young man.

"Now, you-you know exactly what you want.
You don't pretend to want to help people or save
the world. Your want is pure and simple and clean.
And that's why you are worth saving. That's why we are going to work so well together. Because you-you just want to eat." Michael Says

The young woman looks up at Michael, and a smile forms on her face then her vampire fangs comes out her gums.
