MOTEL ROOM

Garth is working on an EMF reader, Dean is sitting on a sofa reading a journal.

"There's a million things with claws go bump in the night." Dean Says

Sam is sitting at the table using the laptop, Elena is sitting on one of the beds reading a book.

"Well Once you throw in "invisible," the number goes down." Elena Says

Dean picks up a motel card on the table next to him.

"Afternoon Delights"? Really, Garth? Don't you think this place is a little, uh..." Dean Says

"Uh, you want a nice hot tub after a day at the office. It's the little things. I feel sad for those brewery dudes. Spend your life beautifying the world through beer. First a partner offs himself." Dean drinks from his flask. "Now two kids get ganked by unknown freakadeek." Garth Says

"According to this, Dale wasn't just a partner." The laptop screen shows an article on the Midwestern Brewing Company. "He was also the brewmaster." Sam Says

"Brewmaster"?" Dean Says

"He was widely considered a genius." Sam Says

"All right, that's it." He gets up. "No microbrew is worth..." He puts his flask down on the counter near Garth and the EMF reader starts to make noise."...what was it – eight Food Magazine awards?" He takes beer bottles out of the fridge. "Beer's not food. It's.. ...whatever water is." Dean Says

Dean gives Sam and Elena a bottle and inspects the label on his own bottle.

"Hmm. Thighslapper." He takes a drink. "Wow, that's actually awesome. Damn it, I'm not even mad anymore." Dean Says

Elena, Dean and Sam watch Garth drink the entire contents of his bottle and shake the last few drops into his mouth. Garth belches.

"Wow. Party on, Garth." Dean Says

"I don't even usually drink beer. It messes with my depth perception." He belches again and hiccups. "Especially when I skinny-dip." He Winks at Elena, Sam and Dean look at each other. "Hey, you guys want to hear a joke?" Garth Says

"Listen to this. This is something interesting." Garth laughs. "Garth, are you drunk?" Sam Says

"Dude, I just... drank a whole beer. Of course I'm drunk." He belches again

"Something interesting?" Elena Asks

"Right. Uh..." Sam Says

"Hey, can I have some more Thighslapper?" Garth Asks

"No." They Say

"No. Coffee for you, Tara Reid." Dean Says

"Coffee with kalhúa in it?" Garth Says

"So, it says that Dale actually left the company two weeks before he died. Or... maybe he got pushed out 'cause he didn't want to sell. I mean, Baxter said the deal's been in the works for months." Sam Says

"That would explain the widow. She's suing. Maybe Dale had a bone to pick, and he's still picking it." Dean Says

"Right. So, maybe he's a spirito malo." Garth Says

"Unit to McAnn residence. 698 Washburn."

"McAnn residence," as in Jim McAnn?" Elena Says

"As in, let's hope for their sake our spirito ain't made it out of the woods. All right. Let's go check it." Garth Says

"Uh, you two go. Elena and I are gonna visit the widow." Sam Says

Dean looks at Sam, who smiles at him. Garth Belches again and Elena smiles at Dean.
