someone to stay, supernatural [ 1 ]

092. pranks

They're in town on a case and went to the morgue earlier to see the victim's body. Afterwards, they went to the house of the family the victim was babysitting for and talked to the family.

They're now at the hospital after Sam got a call.

"What happened?" Sam asks as a nurse zips a body bag up and he and another nurse roll it out of the room.

"Guy got electrocuted." The doctor says.

"Any idea how?" Natalie asks.

"Eh, maybe a loose wire or a piece of equipment shorted out. So far, we haven't found anything." The doctor says.

"Witnesses?" Sam asks.

"Yeah, guy in there -- Mr. Stanley." The doctor says, pointing into the room where Stanley is sitting in a chair and looking out the window. "He says he saw it, but he's not making a lick of sense. Senile."

"Thanks." Sam says and the four go into the room while the doctor leaves. "Um, Mr. Stanley?"

"It was just a joke. I didn't know it would really work." Stanley says.

"What would work?" Dean asks.

"All I did was shake his hand." Stanley says, holding his hand out and holding a joy buzzer.

They're in the motel room with a large uncooked ham on the table. Dean puts a pair of goggles and a pair of gloves on. He picks the joy buzzer up.

"You ready?" Dean asks the twins.

"Hit it, Mr. Wizard." Sam says. He, Larissa, Jacob, and Natalie both hold goggles up to their eyes. They made the girls stay in the bathroom.

Dean holds the joy buzzer to the ham and electricity cackles and steam rises. Soon enough the ham is blackened and Dean takes away the joy buzzer. Sam, Larissa, Natalie, and Jacob lower their goggles as Dean flips the dark plastic visor on his goggles up.

"That'll do, pig." Dean says. "Safe now, munchkins." He calls to the girls who walk out of the bathroom.

"Whoa! You cooked a whole ham with that thing?" Libby's jaw drops.

"Cool!" Ophelia grins.

"What the hell?" Sam mutters as Dean takes his goggles off.

"That shit isn't supposed to work." Natalie says.

"This thing doesn't even have batteries." Dean says, taking his gloves off.

"So... so, what? Are-- are we looking at cursed objects?" Sam asks.

"Sounds good." Dean says. He pulls out a knife and cuts off a piece of ham. "Maybe there's a powerful witch in town. Is there any link between the, uh, the joy buzzer and the itching powder?"

"Uh, one was made in China, the other Mexico, but they were both bought from the same store." Sam says.

Dean hums as he eats another piece of ham. He holds a third piece up to Sam who shakes his head. He holds it out to Natalie who also denies it. Dean shrugs, eating the piece of ham. Ophelia and Libby hold their hands out, Dean tearing ham off for them.

"Ah-- no." Sam pulls Libby away.

"But daddy." She whines.

"Honey, it just... it's not... it's weird." Sam says.

"But they're eating it. Please." Libby gives him puppy dog eyes. "I haven't had food since lunch. Just a snack until dinner." Sam frowns, knowing how are snacking for her is now, still recovering from how she wouldn't eat when she drank demon blood.
