Chapter 44: We are better than them

Roadkill 1

"Holy--!" Dean yells, hitting the breaks as a woman jumps out in front of the car.

"You've gotta help me." She says, moving to the passant window. "Please, please."

"Dean, I don't think she knows she's dead." Sam glances at Dean.

"Alright, alright, calm down. Calm down. Tell us what happened." Sam tells her as he rolls down the window.

"I-I swerved and we crashed. And when I came to....uh, the car was wrecked. My husband was missing." She explains as they all stand by the car in the light rain. "I went looking for him, but that's when the man from the road, he started chasing me. He's--He--"

"Did it look like he lost a fight with a lawnmower?" Dean asks. Alexis nudges his side.

"How did you know that?"

"Lucky guess."

"Ma'am, what's your name?" Sam asks.

"Molly. Molly McNamara."

"Well, you should tag along. We can take you back to town--" Alexis starts.

"No. I can't. I have to find David. He might've gone back to the car." Molly shakes her head, tears filling her eyes.

"We should get you somewhere safe. Dean, Alex, and I will come back here. We'll look for your husband." Sam tries to reason.

"No, I'm not leaving without him. Would you just take me back to my car, please?"

"Of course. Come on."

Alexis closes the car door behind her and walks around the car. Dean set a hand on her back and she moved closer.

"Its right over there." Molly tells them as she leads the three to a hill. "I don't understand." She mumbles when she doesn't see her car. "I'm sure this is where it was. We hit that tree right there. This doesn't make any sense." She continues down the hill.

"We gotta get outta here. Greeley could show up any second." Sam says to Dean and Alexis.

"What're you gonna tell her?" Dean asks.

"The truth."

"Yeah, well, I don't think that'll go over well." Alexis shoves her hands in her pockets.

"Lexi's right, she's gonna take off running in the other direction."

"I know it sounds crazy, but I crashed into that tree." Molly calls out, pointing. "I don't know who could've taken it. It was totaled. Please, you have to believe me."

"Molly, listen, we do believe you, alright? That's why we're wanna get you outta here." Sam explains.

"But what about David? Something must've happened. I have to get to the cops."

"Cops. That's a great idea. We'll take you down to the station ourselves. So just come with us. Its the best way we can help you and your husband." Dean says.
