"So how is it out there?" Sam Asks

"Weird with a side order of bloody, Talked to a few hunters, They're running into the same kind of thing that set up shop at that hospital." Bobby Says

"Yeah, and don't forget tried to kill us at your place." Dean Says

"Well, consensus is they're, um, they're like shapeshifters only a lot more into eating folk and nothing can kill 'em." Bobby Says

"Good times. Anything else?" Elena Asks

"Yep. They bleed black goo." Bobby Says

"Like that stuff that came out of Cas – those things from Purgatory. Uh... Leviathan." Sam Says

"Yep." Bobby Says

"What about those chompers that you and the sheriff saw at the hospital? They still making spleenburgers?" Dean Says

"Yeah, made some calls, That doctor never showed back up to work. Ditto a nurse and some administrator." Bobby Says

Sam fazes out of the conversation and he starts to hear voices in his head.

"You never left, Sam." Lucifer Says

FLASHBACK

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, 1998

Young Sam who was 15, is reading a newspaper on a bench and talking on the phone.

"Yeah, so, from what I can tell, it's something called a Kitsune. Not much. They... look human... till they sprout out claws and stab you behind your ear to get to your brain. I don't – I don't know yet. Yes, Dean, I realize killing 'em's important. Maybe if Uncle Bobby sent a book in English. I am! No, no, don't – don't put him on the phone. Hi, Dad. Yes, sir. I realize people are dying. Yeah, I'm on my way to the library right now." Sam Says

UNDER A BRIDGE

"Sorry, honey. Price went up. Fifty-five." He Says

Someone from a far watches them in the bushes.

"Oh, I don't – I don't have it." She Says

"That's too bad. Maybe we can make a little trade. Hmm?" He Says

At the sound of police sirens, they hurry away in opposite directions. The Man hears a noise and stops, but sees nothing and then continues on his way. Someone tackles him to the ground.

"Aah!" He Says

The Man lies on ground, dead. Blood pools from the back of his head.
