IMPALA

Dean's phone rang and he answered. "Yeah?"

MOTEL ROOM

"There's a cop car outside," Sam said.

"You think it's for us?"

"I don't know."

INT. IMPALA

Dean frowned. "I don't see how. I mean, we ditched the plates, the credit cards."

MOTEL ROOM

The cop car drove away and Sam and Katie let out a breath. "They're leaving. False alarm."

"You see. Nothing to worry about," Dean reassured.

"Yeah, being fugitives? Freaking dance party," Sam shot back.

Kelsey laughed softly as she changed Tess's diaper.

IMPALA

"Hey man, chicks dig the danger vibe. Just as my wife."

MOTEL ROOM

Sam and Katie were standing in front of books. They were all about a demon called a Djinn, and on top of them was John's journal, open on the same subject.

Kelsey sat on the bed and put the nursing cloth over her, then began nursing a fussing Tess.

"So, you two got anything yet?"

IMPALA

"Are you kidding me? How could we? You got us sifting through like 50 square miles of real estate here."

MOTEL ROOM

"Well, that's where all the victims disappeared."

IMPALA

"Yeah well, I get at least squat. What about you?"

MOTEL ROOM

"Just one thing. Katie and I are pretty sure of it now." He pulled one book closer. "We're hunting a Djinn."

IMPALA

"A freaking genie?"

"Yeah."

"What? You think these suckers can really grant wishes?"

MOTEL ROOM

Katie let out a sigh. "Sam and I don't know. I guess they're powerful enough. But not exactly like Barbara Eden and the harem pants. I mean, Djinn have been feeding off people for centuries. They're all over the Koran."

IMPALA

"My God. Barbara Eden was hot, wasn't she? Way hotter than that Betwitched chick. But Kelsey is hotter."

MOTEL ROOM

"Are you even listening to us?" Sam asked.

IMPALA

"Yeah. So uh, what do the Djinns lair at?"

MOTEL ROOM

"Ruins usually. Uh. Bigger the better, more places to hide."

IMPALA

"Yeah, I think I saw a place a couple miles back. I'm gonna go check it out."

MOTEL ROOM

"No, no, no, no. Come pick us up first."

IMPALA

"No. I'm sure it's nothing. We just wanna take a look around. Keep my girls safe."

Dean hung up the phone.

MOTEL ROOM

Sam lowered his hand holding the phone and sighed. Katie glanced at him, then at Kelsey and a nursing Tess.
