Lost And Found ✔︎

32- Cartooned

"Coroner said his heart was ejected from his body. Got some air, too. Found it in a sandbox." The detective reminds.

"Any idea what happened, Detective?" I ask.

"A lot of people are thinking drugs, Agent Nash - an assload of drugs."

"[to Dean] There are no narcotics in that man's system. His molecules are all wrong." Cass intersects.

"But you don't think that, huh?"

"Never seen an eightball do that." The detective reminds.

The detective pulls back the sheet to reveal the cookie-cutter heart-shaped hole in his chest.

"Wow. And who called this in?" I ask.

"Friend of his named Olivia Kopple. She saw the whole thing. [She pulls the sheet back up. Her phone rings.] Oh. [She looks at the caller ID.] Ah, crap. I have - I have to take this. Here's everything we got. [She hands me a file.] Knock yourself out."

"Thanks."

"Listen, you see anything weird, anything out of the box, you give us a call. " Sam reminds as he hands the hands a card.

"Whatever you say, Scully." She teases.

"Detective Glass. On my way." She

Sam reads the file.

"I can't sense any EMF or sulfur. Mr. Freleng's arterial health is, uh, excellent. [He leans over the corpse and sniffs.] Mm. He did recently suffer from a... [sniffs] ...mild, uh... [sniffs] What is that? ...bladder infection." Castiel solves.

"Cas, stop smelling the dead guy." I sigh.

"Why? Now I know everything about this man. So we can -"

"Do you know he was having an affair?" Sam asks.

"What?"

"Strike one, Sherlock." Dean mumbles.

"According to Olivia, they would meet at the park every Thursday at 12:45, walk to the Moonlight diner, where she always ordered a Caesar salad, dressing on the side. They would chat about everything, and she'd be back on the road by 1:30." Sam reads off.

"You don't think she's telling the truth." Castiel admits.

"Too much detail. Sounds rehearsed." Dean sighs.

"Plus, we drove past the Moonlight diner on the way into town. It's attached to the Moonlight motel." I remember.

"Okay, well, let's say that, uh, Gary here's on the prowl, but he's playing it safe because... [he lifts Gary's left hand out from under the sheet and sees his wedding ring] ...dude's married. Doesn't want anyone to see his ride parked out in front of a by-the-hour fleabag."

"So he stashes his car at the park across the street, meets Olivia there." I continue.

"His wife probably found out about it, and it broke her heart."

"So she breaks his. Sounds witchy." Sam finishes.

"Yes, it does. Guy was living a lie, and it came back to bite him in the ticker. But nice job on the bladder infection."

Sam looks over the edge of the building to the street below, then walks over to detective Glass and Dean, while Cass is standing some distance away.

"Looks like suicide." I mention.

"It was. Guy left a note. He invested everything in Roman Industries and lost it all when they crashed and burned last year."
