INT. CHUCKS HOME – NIGHT

CHUCK is sprawled on a couch sleeping with papers clutched to his chest; the coffee table is littered with unfinished food and drinks. He is in the throes of an intense dream: we see quick flashes of SAM, Haven and DEAN, the IMPALA, and CHUCK himself. Cut to:

INT. COMIC BOOK SHOP – DAY

A man takes a comic book off the shelf as we pan across to the door, where DEAN and SAM are entering. They are in suits and long black coats: FBI costumes. The man behind the counter looks up as they approach and take out their badges.

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

Uh... can I help you?

Sure hope so. Agents DeYoung, Mikealson and Shaw. Just need to ask you a few questions.

Notice anything strange in the building, last couple of days?

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

Like what?

Well, some other tenants reported flickering lights.

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

Uh, I don't think so. Why?

What about noises? Any skittering in the walls? Kind of like rats? Sam asked while Haven adds on anything like that at all? Haven a with a smile on her face

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

(skeptical)

And the FBI is investigating a rodent problem?

What about cold spots? Feel any sudden drops in temperature?

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

(grinning)

I knew it! You guys are LARPing, aren't you?

say what know, the platinum blond asks

Excuse me?

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

You're fans.

Fans of what?

What is "LARPing"?

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

Like you don't know.

(off their confused looks)

Live-Action Role-Play! And pretty hardcore, too.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Haven nods her head agreeing with Dean

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

You're asking questions like the building's haunted. Like those guys from the books. What are they called? Uh... "Supernatural." Two guys and there friend, use fake IDs with rock aliases, hunt down ghosts, demons, vampires. What are their names? Uh... Steve, Haylee, and Dirk? Uh, Sal, Hadley and Dane?

Sam, Haven, and Dean?

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

That's it!

Havs eyes widen in shock

You're saying this is a book?

MAN BEHIND COUNTER

Books. It was a series. Didn't sell a lot of copies, though. Kind of had more of an underground cult following.

(he goes over to a table labeled Bargain Bin. SAM, Haven, and DEAN follow.)

Let's see. Um... Ah. Yeah

(hands DEAN a book)

That's the first one, I think
