The camera panned across a motel room and John's research. The walls were covered with information on the yellow-eyed demon. Weather charts, hieroglyphics, pictures, newspaper articles, written notes, a shelf of books, and more.
John sat at a paper-strewn desk, the Colt in front of him. Sam leaned against the counter while Dean paced.
"So this is it. This is everything I know. Look, our whole lives we've been searching for this demon right? Not a trace, just...nothing. Until about a year ago. For the first time, I picked up a trail.," John started.
"And that's when you took off," Dean added.
"Yeah. That's right. The demon must have come out of hiding, or hibernation."
"Demons don't go into hibernation, right?" Charlie asked, turning to look at Crowley.
The demon didn't even bother giving her an answer, he just stared at her.
"I'll take her as a no."
"Alright, so what's this trail you found?"
"It starts in Arizona, then New Jersey, California. Houses burned down to the ground. It's going after families, just like it went after us."
"I feel like there was an easier path for that. He went from the southwest to the northeast, then back to the west coast," Kevin noted.
"Families with infants?" Sam questioned.
"Yeah. The night of the kid's six-month birthday."
"I was six months old that night?"
"Exactly six months."
"So basically, this demon is going after these kids for some reason. The same way it came for me? So Mom's death...Jessica. It's all because of me?"
"We don't know that Sam," Dean cut in.
"Oh really? Cause I'd say we're pretty damn sure Dean."
Dean was getting frustrated. "For the last time, what happened to them was not your fault."
"Right. It's not my fault but it's my problem," Sam shouted.
"No, it's not your problem it's our problem!"
John stood, "okay. That's enough."
Everyone took a breath and calmed down.
"So why's he doing it. What does he want?" Sam asked.
"Look, I wish I had more answers, I do. I've always been one step behind it. Look, I've never gotten there in time to save..." John looked down, unhappy.
"Alright, so how do we find it..before it hits again?" Dean questioned.
"There are signs. It took me a while to see the pattern but it's there in the days before these fires signs crop up in an area. Cattle deaths, temperature fluctuations, electrical storms. And then I went back and checked...and..."
"These things happened in Lawrence."
John nodded. "A week before your mother died. And in Palo Alto...before Jessica. And these signs, they're starting again."
"Where?" Sam asked.
"Salvation, Iowa."
John's truck sped along a misty road, followed closely by the Impala. After a few moments, he pulled off to the side, the Impala followed and everyone sprung out of their seats.
