( SACRIFICE )

RESTAURANT
[ TIME UNKNOWN ]

Sheriff Jody Mills sits at a booth in a nice restaurant as Nancy, a waitress, walks up behind her with a glass of red wine and sets it in front of Jody. "On the house, Sheriff." Nancy says.

"Oh, thanks, Nance, but I didn't order –" Jody starts. 

"So..." Crowley starts as Nancy quickly turns her head to see him walking up and then back again to Jody.

"Good luck." Nancy mouths to Jody.

"...what are we drinking?" Crowley sits down across from Jody.

"Roderick?" Jody asks.

"Wow, Jody. Words cannot begin to describe the injustice that that picture does to you."

Jody chuckles. "Come on." She says.

Time lapses as the two sit and talk and Jody smiles at Crowley. "What?" He asks.

"Look at you. The fancy career, the suit. I'm pretty much what I am–small-town girl." She says. 

"We do share something, you and I." Crowley says.

"What?" Jody asks.

"Loss." Crowley says.

Jody's smile fades as she begins to think back to the time her husband and son were killed. Scenes flash showing her happy with her husband and son and then showing her husband lying in a pool of blood after her son turned into a zombie and killed him then a gunshot being heard and Jody wincing in emotional pain.

"My son and my husband. How did you know?" Jody has her hands clasped on the table as she asks the question.

Crowley reaches his right hand over the table and places it over her hands and gives a gentle squeeze. "I've lost someone, too." He says. Jody begins to cry then suddenly stops. She laughs.

"It's not a date till I've cried." Jody wipes a tear away with her right hand.

"So now you've cried." Crowley as as she brings her right hand down to cover over the hand that he placed on hers.

The scene switches and Jody bursts into the restaurant bathroom and walks to the mirror to fix her makeup. "Oh, this is crazy." She says. "This is crazy." Jody digs through her purse. "I'm crazy."

Crowley is back at the table unwrapping a piece of cloth that has a red symbol on it that has a small pile of sticks with yarn wrapped around them in it and places the candle that is already lit on the table at the top of the cloth. Crowley smiles and the scene switches back to Jody in the bathroom who is applying lipstick.

"He's attractive, though, right? He's hot." Jody says.

Crowley takes out a picture of Jody with a symbol written in blood across her face and leans it against the base of the candle stick. Crowley looks around to see if anyone is watching then he chants over the prepared spell.

"Manu mortis accesso spiritus vitae recedit." As Crowley chants we see Jody in the bathroom looking curiously at a hex bad that she found in her purse. Jody bends over in sudden pain. She begins to gasp, choke and retch in pain and blood begins to pour out of her mouth into the sink in front of her.

The scene switches to Crowley picking up his cell phone as it rings with a smile. The ring tone playing "I like big butts and I cannot lie" "You have less than one minute before a very dear, attractive, and slightly tipsy friend of yours snuffs it." Crowley says.
