[Pac-Man Fever]

INT. 1950s MILITARY HOSPITAL - NIGHT

Dean and Natalia woke up and looked around. "... the hell?"

They got up and he tried to turn off the record player, but the music kept going. He kicked a leg off the table that was blocking the door to take with him as a weapon and Natalia found a pen, and started exploring the hospital. The floor is littered with several dead, bloody bodies.

"What the hell is this?" Dean and Natalia asked in sync once again.

Dean found a newspaper on the floor. It was dated July 12, 1951.

"1951?" Dean questioned.

"Oh sh-" Natalia began.

A growling figure approached them.

INT. BUNKER - LIBRARY - NIGHT

24 Hours Earlier

Dean and Natalia entered, and he placed a bag of groceries and a six-pack of beer on the table. Dean opened one of the beers and Natalia opened another. Sam and Dylan entered, the former looking tired.

"Y-" Dean began before looking up. "Man, I'm telling you, give one of us five minutes with some clippers, and..."

"Oh, shut up," Sam retorted. "Uh, what time did I lay down?"

Natalia threw a beer to Dylan and he caught it, smiling at her.

"You took a siesta around noon. Yesterday." Dean grabbed another beer and threw it in Sam's direction.

Sam failed to react and the beer shattered on the floor. "I'm sorry, I, uh..."

"That's why we don't have nice things, Sam." Sam stumbled and Dylan steadied him. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm, I'm fine, I just," he leaned on the table, rubbing his face, "uh, you know what, I'm gonna get dressed. We should go find Kevin."

"Hey hey, hey hey hey, easy, easy, Sleeping Beauty. Look, man, Nat and I've hacked into every security camera around Garth's household, Kevin's hometown, where Mrs. Tran lived..."

"And?"

"Well, nothing so far," Natalia replied.

"Dean, Nat, we have to find him."

Dean nodded. "We know. We know, but Garth is out looking for him, we got a hunter APB out on Kevin, we will do what we can from here while you get better."

"I'm fine. Dean, Natalia, Dylan, I can still go out there, I can still hunt."

"Really?" Dean and Natalia shot back.

INT. BUNKER - SHOOTING GALLERY - NIGHT

Sam, Dean, Natalia and Dylan entered. Dean loaded a gun.

"This is stupid," Sam said.

Dean fired the gun twice, hitting one of the targets in the chest both times. "All right. You hit that target, we'll talk about you getting back out there."

"No problem." Sam aimed, wavering. He used his other hand to steady the gun, but still missed the target entirely on both shots he fired.

"Look, man, this second trial hit you a lot harder than the first one. We don't know whether it was just more intense or what."

"Felt the same. Till the next day."

Natalia flicked her eyes to Sam. "So, we're gonna sit tight. Keep an eye out til you get better."
