A man is in his study. He pours a whiskey and walks back and forth, looking worried. The phone rings and he jerks. He stares at it for a long moment then moves to pick it up. The phone's display shows 'SHA33'.

"Hello." The Man Says

"Ben." The Woman Says

"Linda." Ben Says

"Ben, I had to talk to you..." Linda Says

"You can't keep calling here." Ben Says

"I know. I know, just...just tell me you thought about it please." Linda Says

"There's nothing to think about." Ben Says

"Don't say that." Linda Says

"I can't. You know I can't. My wife...." Ben Says

"I'm begging you, come to me. Come to me, Ben." Linda Says

"No." Ben Says As He hangs up. The phone immediately starts ringing again He picks it up again
Linda, Please Please leave me alone."

"I'm not going to stop. I miss you, Ben. We could be happy. We could be happy together." Linda Says

"This is...this is crazy." Ben Says

"I love you! Forever. Don't you love me?" Linda Asks

"You know I do. More than anything. I'm sorry." Ben Says

"Ben, wait...." Linda Says As He hangs up. The phone rings again, Ben picks up the receiver and slams it back down a number of times, then throws the whole phone across the room, the cord ripping out of the wall. Ben rubs his face and stares at nothing.

After a few moments the phone starts ringing again. Ben looks shattered. He slowly opens the desk draw and takes out a handgun. He stares at it for a few seconds then takes a deep breath.

"Okay, Linda. You win." Ben Says As He stares at the ceiling, then lifts the gun and places the barrel against his throat, pointing upwards. He cocks it.

"I'm coming." Ben Says As the phone screen spinning through letter and numbers and again landing on SHA33. A gunshot is heard, then the thud of something hitting the ground.

"No." Mrs, Waters Says As Elena raises her eyebrows at her, No!"

"Mrs Waters, withholding information from the police is a capital offence." Dean Says As Sam clears his throat. Dean glances at him and receives a bitchface, In some parts of the world I'm sure."

"A couple of weeks ago, uh....there was this..." Mrs, Waters Says

"This what?" Elena Says

"I woke up one morning, I heard Ben in his study. I thought he was talking to a woman." Mrs, Waters Says

"What made you think that?" Sam Asks

"Because he kept calling her Linda. The thing is, I picked up the other line and nobody was there, Ben was talking to nobody." Mrs, Waters Says

"We don't get many folks from HQ down here." The Man Says

"Yes well the main office mentioned that there would be a lunch." Dean Says As Sam gives Dean a bitchface behind the man's back, Dean shrugs.

"Well I'm sure we can arrange something. The man you wanna be speaking to is right this..." The Man Says As Elena swipes at a fly that has flown into her hair.

"I know, sorry. We've got something of a hygiene issue down here if you ask me, they entering the basement office, Stewie? What did I tell you about keeping this place clean."

"Spam mail...spam mail..." Stewie Says

"Stewie Myers. Mr Campbell. Mr Raimi, Ms Maguire

"I don't know how all this got here..." Stewie Says
As The Man reaches out and flicks the back of Stewie's head, making him jump again and grunt.

"From headquarters?" The Man Says As Stewie spins around in his chair, then quickly crosses his legs and places his hands together on his lap.

"Give these gentlemen and lady whatever they need." The Man Says

"Yeah." Stewie Says

"Thank you." Dean Says

"Thanks." Sam Says Then The Man leaves.

"So....can I help you?" Stewie Asks As Dean checks to make sure the Man is gone, then gestures toward the screen.

"Where did you get this?" Stewie Asks

"Off caller I.D." Sam Says

"Oh no, that's impossible." Stewie Says

"It hasn't been used in a few years, we know." Elena Says

"A few years? It's prehistoric. Trust me, nobody is using this number anymore." Stewie Says

"Sure. Could you run it anyway?" Sam Asks

"Sure. Why don't I just rearrange my whole life first." Stewie Says As Sam, Dean and Elena glance at each other, Elena smiles then she moves closer to Stewie

"Listen, uh, Stewie. You got like six kinds of employee code violations down here, not to mention the sickening porn that is clogging up your hard drive. Now when my partner says run the number, I suggest you run the number!" Elena Says

Sam and Dean Look At Each other, Then They both give Stewie a hard look. He looks between them then turns back to his console. Elena grins and Dean shrugs and smiles back.

"Okay, whatever, jeez!" Stewie Says As He clicks a few more buttons. One of his screens fills with a long list of numbers, Holy crap."

"What?" Sam Says

"I can't tell you where the number comes from, but I can tell you where it's been going." Stewie Says

"What do you mean?" Elena Asks As Stewie pushes print, goes to the printer and hands some paper to Her.

"Ten different number in the past few weeks, all got calls from the same number." Stewie Says As He looks between Sam, Elena and Dean as they stare at each other, then sighs and walks between them back to his console. He sits and stares at it for a moment, then looks back.

"Thanks Stewie" Elena Says

"So, are we done here? Cause I was....sort of...busy?" Stewie Asks

"Right." Dean Says
