EXT SINGER’S SALVAGE YARD – DAY
MUSIC CUE: YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT FEELS BY TOM PETTY
Dean, Ann and Sam get out of the car. They hear music playing in the back of the yard
ANN
I’m surprised he doesn’t have a dog
SAM
He used too. That’s a whole other
story
DEAN
Yeah, a demon got to him a few years
back
Ann pouts
ANN
Aw
Dean smiles
DEAN
It’s okay. He’s over it. Long time
ago
They start walking towards the music
SAM
Bobby!
DEAN
Hey, Bobby! You’re favorite kids are here!
BOBBY
(O.S.)
Boys? That you?
SAM
No it’s your other two favorites, Bert and Ernie
Bobby appears from behind a truck wiping his hands with a towel
BOBBY
Smartass. What the hell do you two want?
DEAN
Well, we’re runnin low on cases and wanted to get some of your back
BOBBY
Fraid I’m wiped clean. Nothings come up on my radar
Bobby sees Ann and eyes her
BOBBY
Who are you?
Ann steps forward and extends her hand
ANN
Ann Remington
Bobby grabs her hand and she firmly shakes back
BOBBY
Nice grip
Ann smiles
ANN
Thanks!
BOBBY
You a friend of the boys?
SAM
Friend of mine actually. Long story but she’s hunting with us
DEAN
We were wondering, if you don’t mind, if we could train her here a few days and maybe see if we can dig up any cases
BOBBY
Sure. I’ll show ya where you’re stayin
INT BOBBY’S HOUSE – DAY
Bobby shows them two rooms
BOBBY
One of you will have to take the couch
Dean rubs Ann’s back
DEAN
Ann and I can share
He grins and Bobby raises an eyebrow
BOBBY
Like I said, one of you will have to take the couch
Dean’s grin drops from his face
DEAN
Fine, I will
Sam chuckles. Dean glares at him
SAM
I’m gonna go set up the laptop
Sam walks away and looks at Ann
DEAN
Go change your clothes. I’m gonna teach you how to fight
Ann smiles at him
ANN
Oh I can’t wait for this
EXT SINGER’S SALVAGE YARD – DAY
MUSIC CUE: TNT BY AC/DC
Ann and Dean are exchanging light kicks and punches as Sam and Bobby watch from the kitchen window. They stop fighting
DEAN
Okay, now I’m gonna show you what do to when someone comes at ya from behind. Turn around
She turns around. Dean comes up behind her and wraps his arm around her throat
DEAN
So the first thing you’re gonna wanna do is…
Ann steps on his foot, elbows him hard in the stomach and smacks him in the nose with her palm. He staggers for a minute and then drops to the ground
DEAN
What the hell? I think you just broke my nose!
Ann grins at him
ANN
No I didn’t. Get up
He gets up, still disoriented, and Ann flips him on his back. He grunts
DEAN
Where in the hell did you learn how to do that?
Ann smiles
ANN
Miss Congeniality
DEAN
Who?
ANN
Nevermind
Dean gets up and Ann takes a fighting stance. Dean huffs, as his nose bleeds
DEAN
I think we’re done for the day
Ann relaxes
ANN
Still think I need fight training?
Dean walks to the door of the house
DEAN
We’ll talk about it later
INT BOBBY’S HOUSE – DAY
Sam rushes to a kitchen chair in front of his laptop and Bobby rushes to the fridge for a beer. Dean appears in the kitchen doorway and looks at them, holding his nose. Sam smiles at him
END MUSIC
SAM
So how was training?
Dean rolls his eyes and disappears down the hallway
BOBBY
Did a number on ya, did she?
Sam and Bobby laugh as Ann walks in the kitchen
ANN
Whatcha got goin on in the fridge, Bobby?
Bobby smiles at her
BOBBY
Anything you need, darlin
Ann grins
ANN
How bout some milk?
BOBBY
You got it
Bobby pulls out a glass and hands her the milk. She downs it quickly and rinses the glass out in the sink
ANN
Shower time
Ann walks out of the room
SAM
I would go check on that. They’ve been known to both occupy it at the same time
BOBBY
Not in my house
Dean walks into the kitchen, cleaned up. Sam and Bobby stifle chuckles
DEAN
Oh, come on
SAM
Are you all right there, precious?
Dean glares at him
DEAN
Not funny. Did you find anything on that computer of yours besides porn?
SAM
Dean, the only person who looks that up is you
BOBBY
You two got yourselves a little pistol don’t ya?
DEAN
Yeah, somethin like that
BOBBY
As much as you don’t like it, she might actually come in handy
SAM
She has, so I’m not complaining
BOBBY
She could be the best thing to ever happen to you
He doesn’t say a name, but he looks at Dean as he says this
DEAN
Maybe
Sam and Bobby just smile
INT BOBBY’S HOUSE – NIGHT
Dean walks slowly to Ann’s room. He gets to the door but hears Bobby clear his throat
BOBBY
(O.S.)
Get back on that couch
Dean grimaces
DEAN
Just lookin for the bathroom, Bobby
He hears a shotgun cock
BOBBY
Get back on the couch, Dean
Dean turns around
DEAN
Yes sir
Dean lays down on the couch and pulls up the blankets
DEAN
(MUMBLING)
Get back on the couch, Dean!
BOBBY
(O.S.)
I heard that!
DEAN
Good night, Bobby!
Dean lays down and furrows his eyebrows and closes his eyes
EXT BOBBY’S HOUSE – PORCH – MORNING
Ann is sitting on the chair, cross legged, blanket wrapped around her, sipping her coffee. There are two deer off in the distance she is watching. Dean comes outside and stands behind her, stroking her hair. She keeps looking out at the deer
ANN
How’d you sleep?
DEAN
Lonely. I tried to come see you but, Bobby kinda caught me
Ann snickers
ANN
I thought you were good at sneaking around
DEAN
I am, but Bobby doesn’t sleep
Dean sits in the other chair. Ann sets her cup down on the little table and gets up. She sits on his lap and wraps the blanket around them. She kisses his temple and he smiles and closes his eyes. She starts lightly scratching the back of his neck and leans the side of her cheek to his
ANN
I could barely sleep. We’re gonna have to talk to Bobby
DEAN
Mmmm,hmmm
ANN
I’m serious. You’re gonna have to tell him that we won’t do that in his house, we promise
DEAN
What did I tell you about promises?
She looks at him and he looks back
ANN
This is gonna have to be one that you keep
She smiles and he pouts. She kisses him
ANN
If it gets that bad, we’ll just have to send him and Sam out to town
He grins and kisses her again. She puts her hands on his cheeks and touches her forehead to his and smiles. She turns her head and rests it on his shoulder as they look out at the deer

INT BOBBY'S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY
Ann and Dean walk in to see Bobby and Sam sitting at the table. Sam is on his computer and Bobby is skimming the newspaper
SAM
So, Dean. Did you have any luck finding that bathroom last night?
Sam stifles a chuckle and Dean glares at him. Ann smiles and he looks over at her in disbelief
ANN
Oh what? It's a little funny
He flashes her a grin
DEAN
If you think it's so funny, you can take the couch tonight
She glares at him then nods
ANN
I'm on to the game you're playin, Winchester, and let me tell ya, two can play it
Bobby whistles and Sam just looks at his computer with a smile on his face
ANN
You two got anything?
Bobby shakes his head and Sam sighs
SAM
No. All morning, and, zip
Ann rests her hand on Sam's shoulder eyeing Dean the whole time
ANN
Let me have a look
Dean raises his eyebrows at her. Sam gets up and she sits in his place. She types a few things onto his computer and then looks closely at the screen
ANN
Hey, Sam?
SAM
Yeah?
ANN
Can you lift an IP address off a website?
SAM
Yeah
ANN
Ann can you pinpoint the location of the address?
SAM
Yeah
DEAN
Where you goin with this?
ANN
A demon summoners website. Anything you need to know. Symbols, spells, tools, you name it
She pushes the laptop in Sam's direction
BOBBY
How the hell did you know to look there?
Ann glances over at Bobby
ANN
When you lived like I did, google was your best friend
DEAN
You got that from google?
ANN
Oh, you'd be surprised what you can google and what actually comes up. It's amazing that some of these sites exist. Like this one? Run by satanists. Some of them are ridiculous, but others, there's a hint of truth to them. I'm not an expert, but this one I came across not too long ago, and it goes into extreme detail
She pushes the computer more towards Sam so he can look
SAM
She's right. They list everything right up to the rituals for each specific demon
DEAN
Like when you summoned Ruby and when Dad called Azazel?
SAM
Exactly
BOBBY
There's people out there making a damn manual accessible to anyone
SAM
Yeah. And I'm sure there's probably people out there who are trying it just for fun, thinking it's a load of crap
BOBBY
Not only do we have to deal with them walking around on their own accord, who knows how many people are bringing them back
ANN
Exactly
DEAN
For every one we send back, three could be riding the express train back
ANN
This seems to be the prominent website. There's message boards that explain stuff, but it looks like all the info is linked back to this page
Dean shakes his head and runs a hand over his face
DEAN
You know how I feel about this. If people are stupid enough to do that to themselves, let them. I help people because they can't help themselves. Because something happened to them that they can't explain. Because they don't have a fighting chance. These people deserve whatever they get
ANN
But, Dean. The demons they're summoning, they don't just stick to that one person. They pull them out and have no control over them. They're making deals, attempting to control them. They're basically roaming free. These could be any demons we run into on the streets, you don't know
Bobby gets up and puts a hand on Dean's shoulder
BOBBY
You know I feel the same way, but she's right, son. They have no idea what kind of damage they're really doing
Dean shrugs him off and walks out of the kitchen. Bobby starts to walk out too
SAM
Let him go, Bobby. He needs to get it out of his system
Bobby turns back to Ann and Sam
BOBBY
I fully intend to let him. I'm runnin to town to grab some parts for the truck I'm workin on. Don't leave until I get back
Sam nods and Bobby walks out. Ann looks at Sam
ANN
You know, before we ran into the one back in Michigan, I had no idea they were walking "among" us
SAM
Yeah. And the worst part is, they could be anybody
ANN
Well that's, comforting
SAM
Ann, can I tell you something? And you promise not to get scared?
ANN
Sam, you can tell me anything
SAM
I can send Demons back to hell
She looks at him seriously then chuckles
ANN
Yeah, I kinda figured that. I know the exorcism ritual too, ya know. Dean had me read up on it in your dad's journal
SAM
No, I mean, I don't need the ritual anymore
ANN
What? You mean you wave your hand in the air and poof, they're gone?
She smiles but he looks at her seriously
SAM
Not exactly waving
She looks at him seriously
ANN
Are you tellin me you have some freaky mojo thing goin on?
Sam looks down and back up at her
SAM
Yeah, kinda
ANN
Why wasn't I notified? Hello, friend here! What did you think I would do?
SAM
Uh, run in the other direction, look at me like I was a freak, try to salt and burn me. A lot of things came to mind, actually
ANN
Well, you are a freak, there's no denyin that. But, come on, Sam. It's me here. No offense, but I've been seeing crazy a hell of a lot lately. You see me runnin? I'm in this now. You can tell me anything
Sam smiles a small smile at her
SAM
Can you do me a huge favor?
Ann looks at him and smiles
ANN
Depends. What's in it for me?
SAM
One free pass for a night with Dean?
Ann comtemplates this for a moment
ANN
See, that just won't work for me. That partially benefits Dean too. I want something just for me
Sam rolls his eyes
SAM
Of course you can't make this easy
ANN
I'm many things, Sam, but easy, ain't one of em
She grins again
SAM
Okay, okay. I will buy you all the beef jerky you want from now on
Ann's eyes light up
ANN
Now we're talkin! You got yourself a deal!
Sam gets serious
SAM
Don't tell Dean
She leans in close to him
ANN
That's your thing to tell. I wouldn't have anyways. Now, you owe me jerky
Sam's eyes grow wide
SAM
What? No! I rescind my deal!
ANN
Too late, sucker!
Ann laughs as she takes her coffee cup to the sink
ANN
By the way, that starts now. Off you go!
SAM
You just want alone time with Dean
ANN
So? You made the offer. Can't go back now
Sam rolls his eyes and grabs the keys off the counter
SAM
I'll be back
Ann smiles
ANN
Just remember, you dug your own grave
Sam walks out
INT BOBBY'S HOUSE - SAM'S ROOM - DAY
MUSIC CUE: A DIFFERENT KIND OF KNIGHT BY CHRISTIAN KANE
Ann enters Sam's room to see Dean on teh bed reading a book on Demons. She is holding two glasses, filled with light brownish liquid. She sets a glass next to him on the night stand
ANN
So, how much do you adore me?
Dean looks over at the glass
DEAN
A lot, but I don't drink this early in the morning
Ann smiles
ANN
Relax, Tex, it's apple juice. I'm not lookin to get you drunk
He chuckles
DEAN
What's the occasion?
She sets her glass next to his and sits on the edge of the bed, next to him
ANN
Well, Bobby ran into town to pick up parts, and Sam mentioned something about running to the mini-mart
Dean raises his eyebrows and sets the book on the floor
DEAN
So, that means we're all alone?
ANN
I think that's exactly what it means
He reaches around and pulls her back to his stomach
DEAN
Whatever shall we do?
ANN
I was thinkin we could do some more of that fight training you think I need. Or some weapon training
DEAN
Or...
He kisses her neck. She turns to look at him, seriousness covering her face
ANN
I don't want to get all girly on you or anything, but I don't want you to be with me because you think I'm convenient
DEAN
Ann...
ANN
No, wait. Let me get this out. If you want to be with other girls, just let me know. I know you're history and I don't want to be something that's just around whenever you need it. I'm kinda gettin feelings for ya and before I end up goin all in, I want to make sure we're both on the same page
DEAN
I'm not an angel, and I don't pretend to be. I've never had a relationship like this. Ever. I've had one nighters and I've also had something that was convenient. This is not easy for me
ANN
Which is why I'm givin you a get out of jail free card. I promise, no mess and we can continue to hunt
DEAN
I don't want that card. I want to make this work, I do. I like havin you around. Your tough, you tell it like it is. I don't wanna trade that in just yet. And, you're kinda growin on me
He grins
ANN
Oh am I now?
DEAN
Yeah, just a little. I'm gonna try to be a good boyfriend, really
ANN
I don't want you to try, I just want you to be you
DEAN
That, I can do
She smiles and kisses him
DEAN
You hungry? I could eat
ANN
A little
DEAN
I'll make you breakfast
Ann's eyes widen
ANN
You? Cooking?
He gets off the bed
DEAN
There's a lot you don't know about me
He grabs her hand and pulls her off the bed. He looks her straight in the eyes
DEAN
Do NOT, tell, Sam
He pulls her out of the room as she laughs

INT BOBBY’S HOUSE – KITCHEN – DAY
Ann is sitting at the table on the computer while Dean is rinsing the dishes out at the sink. Sam walks in
SAM
Don’t tell me I missed your cooking
Dean glances at Ann and she looks up at Sam
ANN
Sorry, Sam
She smiles at him. Sam sets the jerky down on the counter along with the keys
DEAN
Was your craving for jerky that bad?
Sam raises an eyebrow at Ann
SAM
It’s not for me. I needed something else
ANN
I have a plan
Dean and Sam both look at her
DEAN
We already have a plan
Ann glances over at Dean
ANN
Yes, well I don’t think guns a blazin will
have the same effect as mine
SAM
What’s your plan?
ANN
I’ve been lookin at this site and they do
like a recruit thing at a local club. They
scope you out there and if you’re worthy
enough, they bring you to the house for
initiations
DEAN
What? That’s just, wrong, on many levels
SAM
And your plan would be?
ANN
Two of us go to the club and get recruited
She smiles a huge smile at both of them
DEAN
Absolutely not
Ann’s smile fades
ANN
Come on, Dean. At least this way, we’ll
be able to get in easier. And if they
trust us, we can get all the information
we need
SAM
She’s right, ya know
DEAN
Yeah, I know she is
He walks over to the computer
DEAN
So let’s talk about this club. Hot girls?
Ann rolls her eyes
ANN
Actually, since this would be considered
research and all, I was thinking Sam would
go
Ann smiles
DEAN
Aw, come on. I never get to do anything
fun
Ann turns to look at him
ANN
I’d leave this to the professionals
She turns back to the computer and Sam shrugs at Dean
SAM
Could be fun
ANN
Let me just go to the club’s website and get
the address…
She goes to the website and notices what kind of club it is
ANN
Oh no
Sam and Dean both look at the screen and Dean laughs
DEAN
Best of luck to you two professionals
Sam and Ann see on the screen that it’s a gothic club
ANN
Why can’t the satanists wear abercrombie and
fitch or american eagle?
Sam groans and points a finger at her
SAM
I am NOT wearing make-up
ANN
Is there a mall around here? We need to go
shopping
INT MOTEL ROOM – NIGHT
Sam is wearing black pants with wide leg bottoms and straps coming off the sides and a black mesh shirt with holes in the sleeves for his thumbs. Ann is in the bathroom and Dean is on his bed snickering. Sam glances over at him
SAM
Dude, shut up
DEAN
I’m sorry, I just, can’t help it
Sam glares at him
ANN
(O.S.)
Sam! Get in here! I need to do the
finishing touches!
Sam gets off the bed and walks in. The door closes
SAM
(O.S.)
Don’t put that crap on me!
ANN
(O.S.)
Shut up and sit down!
About fifteen minutes later Sam comes out and Dean bursts into a fit of laughter. Sam has a spiked “collar” on, eyeliner, and his hair is twisted into chunky sections
SAM
Stop laughing or I’m gonna shrink all your
clothes except for the outfit you wore
to the cowboy bar
Dean stifles a chuckle as Ann comes out of the bathroom. She has on a purple and black corset, a black skirt with shred like holes in them, tight lace up boots to the knee and a spiked collar. She has on purple lipstick, black eyeliner and eyeshadow and her hair is half up with four buns at the top of her head. Dean’s eyes widen
DEAN
Oh honey, please tell me your keepin that
outfit
ANN
Maybe I’ll give it to one of the hot girls at
the club
Ann grabs her purse, which now has duct tape all over it, and her leather jacket
ANN
Let’s go, Sam
Sam rolls his eyes as Dean laughs
INT CLUB RIO – NIGHT
Sam and Ann walk close next to each other as they sit at a table near the dance floor. There are a lot of people there dressed in black. Sam fidgets uncomfortably in his seat. A waitress comes by
WAITRESS
What can I get you?
SAM
Beer, please
The waitress lifts an eyebrow at him
WAITRESS
First time here or somethin?
Sam looks at her puzzled
WAITRESS
We don’t serve beer. We serve blood
ANN
We’ll take two
Sam’s eyes widen as the waitress walks away
SAM
You just ordered us blood!
ANN
Relax, Sam. It’s their way of saying
Merlot
Sam sighs. A guy dressed in just black pants, no shirt walks up to Ann
GUY
So, you two like, together?
Ann glances at Sam and grabs his hand
ANN
We’ve exchanged vials of blood,
if that’s what you mean
The guy puts his fingertips together and slightly bows his head
GUY
My apologies
He walks away. Sam and Ann widen their eyes to each other. The waitress comes over with their drinks
WAITRESS
You two want a tab or pay as you go?
Sam reaches into one of his many pockets and pulls out a twenty
SAM
Pay as you go. Keep the change
The waitress smiles
WAITRESS
You two really aren’t from around here
The waitress walks away. Sam picks up his glass and smells it
SAM
So, this is wine
Ann picks up her glass and clanks his
ANN
That it is. Cheers
She downs her glass and Sam does the same. He grimaces
SAM
I’ll stick to beer
Ann laughs and grabs his hand
SAM
What are we doing?
ANN
Fitting in
She drags him to the dance floor
MUSIC CUE: TAINTED LOVE BY MARILYN MANSON
Ann sways her body to the beat and Sam just kind of stands there. He looks around and sees everyone dancing provocatively around them. He grabs Ann and they face each other swaying to the beat. She wraps her arms around his neck and rubs her body against his
SAM
Do you know where to find these people?
ANN
Yeah. They said they can be found in the
basement in the red room
SAM
Red? Seems to be a running theme in this
place
ANN
We have to look like we fit in, or someone
will end up tattling on us
His hands slip down her back and her hand cups the back of his head. They look around and notice some couples are now kissing each other’s necks and various other upper body parts. Ann begins to place light kisses on Sam’s neck and he closes his eyes
SAM
What are you doing?
ANN
Relax, I’m fitting in. Just go with the
flow
SAM
But Dean…
ANN
He chose to stay home. And it’s not like
we’re goin to be takin this home with us.
One time experience
Sam kisses her neck and grabs her butt hard. Her eyes widen but she doesn’t stop kissin his neck
ANN
You’re gonna owe me big
Sam smiles
SAM
Just fitting in
They look around again and notice some of the guys are slightly biting their partners necks and sucking
ANN
What do they think they are, vampires?
Sam bites down and starts sucking. He stops and furrows his eyebrows
SAM
Okay, no offense, but I’m drawing the
line there
ANN
Good idea, cause if I go home with a
mark, daddy’s gonna be pissed
END MUSIC
Ann looks around and notices a sign with an arrow that says red room. She nudges Sam and he looks over and nods. They walk over to the stairs but a bigger man stops them
BOUNCER
Sorry, can’t let you down without the
password
Sam just looks at him and then looks at Ann. She keeps looking at the bouncer
ANN
Exotica Erotica
The bouncer steps aside and let’s them down
BOUNCER
Welcome
INT CLUB RIO – RED ROOM – NIGHT
They walk downstairs and into a big area. It’s red walls, red lights and red couches. There are two chairs at the end of the room with a woman and a guy in them with a couple of people standing by. They’re drinking the merlot. Ann walks up to the woman
ANN
Isabella?
The woman looks at her and smiles
ISABELLA
Yes? That would be me. How can I
help you two?
Ann smiles seductively
ANN
I heard you provide a service we’re
looking for
ISABELLA
And what would that be?
ANN
Black Mass
Isabella shoo’s away the two people that are standing next to her chair
ISABELLA
And what makes you think you’re worthy?
ANN
I’m looking for the things I need
ISABELLA
And what are your names?
ANN
I’m Elizabeth and this is James
Sam nods
ISABELLA
Does the boy speak?
SAM
Yes
ISABELLA
And what are you looking for?
SAM
Life
Isabella reaches on the table and grabs two envelopes
ISABELLA
I need you to open these envelopes as soon
as you get home and do exactly as they say
They nod their heads and she touches their foreheads
ISABELLA
Welcome, children of Satan
Ann and Sam walk away
EXT CLUB RIO – NIGHT
Ann and Sam walk to the parking garage
ANN
Can those people be any creepier?
My God, I can’t believe they live
like that
SAM
I don’t get it. They are so polite
and then they go home and summon demons
ANN
Yeah, cause who else will do their dirty
work? What that was right there, were
people who think they’re being creative,
and when they get shunned, summon evil
to do their dirty work
SAM
It’s a conscious decision though. Don’t
dress and act that way and people won’t
treat you that way
ANN
But it’s a form of expression to them
SAM
Do they even do their homework? Did you
see the pentagram she was wearing around
her neck?
Ann snickers
ANN
It’s rebelliousness to the max
Ann rubs at her neck a little
SAM
What’s wrong?
She punches him lightly in the arm
ANN
You left teeth marks, jerk
Sam smiles as they walk into the parking garage
SongbirdSoph - March 17, 2009 07:06 AM (GMT)
INT MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Ann and Sam walk in to see the TV on and Dean sleeping on the bed, clothes still on. Ann looks at Sam
ANN
Aw, it's so cute when he waits
for us
Sam smiles and heads straight for the bathroom. Ann giggles. She sets down her purse quietly on the table and hangs her jacket on the back of the chair. She pulls out some PJ pants and a tank and slips them on. She puts her hair up in a bun and walks over to the side of the bed Dean is in
ANN
(WHISPERING)
Dean?
There's no movement. Ann jumps over him and starts jumping on the empty side
ANN
Daddy! Sammy and I are home!
Dean startles awake
DEAN
What the hell?!
She stops jumping and sits next to him
ANN
Don't you want to hear the
good news?
DEAN
Does it involve you jumping on
the damn bed again? Cause no
thank you
Ann pouts and Dean raises an eyebrow at her. He glances to her neck
DEAN
That a love bite?
Ann smiles
ANN
Long story short, it's from Sam,
if that makes you feel better
DEAN
Uh, surprisingly, no, it doesn't
Sam comes out of the bathroom, makeup gone
SAM
Did you tell him?
ANN
Which part?
DEAN
Yeah, which part? The part where
you decided to chow down on her
neck?
Sam glares at both of them and Ann just shrugs
SAM
I didn't chow down. Besides, she
told me to
Ann's mouth forms an "O" of shock. Dean looks at her
DEAN
Really? Well, I know who's bed
you'll be sleeping in tonight
Ann lightly slugs him in the arm
ANN
I don't even want to hear it.
It was necessary
Dean scoffs
ANN
Oh, don't be such a baby
Ann gets off the bed and goes into the bathroom. Sam changes into some sweats and tosses an envelope on the bed next to Dean
DEAN
What's that?
SAM
Read it. It's our "instructions"
Dean grabs the envelope and opens it
DEAN
Welcome to JOY OF SATAN. Oh
god
SAM
Keep goin. It gets better
DEAN
Thank you for taking an interest
in the church of satan. If you
have received this letter, it means
that we have deemed you worthy of
joining our congregation. There
will be a ceremonial initiation held
on the date listed below. Please
come to the address listed and no
guests. This is your invitation
only. If you have anyone else
interested in joining, please come
see us once you are initiated.
Welcome. That's in a couple days.
She's not going to this
SAM
She has too. You can't take her
place. We'll get caught
DEAN
There's definitely one thing we'll
need to do before she goes then
Sam gives him a confused look
EXT TATTOO PARLOR - DAY
MUSIC CUE: GREEN RIVER BY CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
Ann Sam and Dean stand outside the door
ANN
What the hell are we doin here?
Dean and Sam smile at each other as Sam holds the door open for Ann
SAM
After you
She glares at him as she steps in
INT TATTOO PARLOR - DAY
The man at the counter looks up from the newspaper. He is covered in tattoos
TATTOO MAN
What can I do for you, miss?
Dean steps to the counter and pulls down his collar
DEAN
She'd like this
The man at the counter squints as he looks at it
TATTOO MAN
That a pentagram?
DEAN
Yep. It needs to look exactly the
same
TATTOO MAN
A family thing?
SAM
You could say that
Ann sits in one of the chairs and unbuttons her shirt halfway. She pulls her
shirt over so the guy can tattoo it
ANN
I hate you guys
DEAN
You wanted to join the club
She glares at him. The tattoo man traces Dean's tattoo on paper and then lays
it out on Ann's chest
TATTOO MAN
Same spot?
SAM
Yep
The tattoo man fills his ink gun. Ann grabs Dean's hand
ANN
You're stayin right here til I'm done
Dean smiles
EXT TATTOO PARLOR - DAY
Dean walks out holding his hand in pain and Sam and Ann follow
ANN
What's a matter? Hand hurt?
He just looks back and glares
ANN
I told you I hated needles!
INT MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Ann is sitting on the bed, reading, Dean is cleaning guns and Sam is scanning his laptop. Sam looks over at Ann
SAM
How's the tat?
Ann looks up at him over the book
ANN
What do you think?
She sets the book on the night stand and Dean smiles
SAM
Just askin, geez
Sam turns back to the computer
ANN
Sorry. Didn't mean to snap. It hurts
Sam looks at her again
SAM
Did you take anything?
Ann half pouts
ANN
We're empty
SAM
Oh
She gives him pleading eyes
ANN
Would you mind getting some?
She grins and Sam rolls his eyes
SAM
I guess I could
He grabs his jacket and the keys off the dresser
SAM
I'll be back
ANN
Thanks, Sam
Sam walks out the door. Ann glances over at Dean and he finishes cleaning his last gun. He looks over at her
DEAN
What?
She holds up her hands
ANN
Nothing, nothing
Dean puts all the guns back in there duffel. Ann reaches off the bed, grabs the back of his shirt and sits him on the bed. He grins
DEAN
Figured you'd save that for Sammy
Ann sits next to him, looks down for a moment, and leans her head against his shoulder
ANN
I don't like this
DEAN
What?
ANN
We've both been stubborn since Sam and
I got back from the club
Dean scoffs
ANN
At least I admit it
DEAN
I don't like the bite marks. Is that
a bad thing?
ANN
No, but, come on. You have to understand.
Not intentional
She looks at him and pouts a little. He looks at her and looks down
DEAN
Don't do that
ANN
Why not?
DEAN
Because, you look all innocent and cute.
And I'm bein stubborn and you're not
helping
She smiles at him and he smiles back. She wraps her arm under his arm and around his back. She swings her legs over and across his lap and nestles into the crook of his arm
ANN
I'll take that as your apology
Dean raises an eyebrow
DEAN
Oh will you now?
He grabs her legs and swings her around to the bed and plops her down. She pulls his face down to hers and kisses him. He pulls back
DEAN
I thought you were in pain?
She shrugs
ANN
I kinda played it up a little
She grins and he rolls his eyes and smiles. She rolls him over on his back and lays on his stomach, looking at his chest, making tiny circles with the tip of her finger
ANN
So when I go to this, initiation thing,
what do I not do?
DEAN
You're scared?
She stops tracing circles and looks at him
ANN
I don't know. Yeah, a little
DEAN
You have nothing to worry about.
Sam will be right there with you
and I'll be in the car
ANN
Yeah, but what if they want me to
sign my name in blood or something?
I don't want to be bound to satan
Dean smirks
DEAN
That's definitely not how it works
ANN
I don't understand how their cult
thing works then
DEAN
You'll find out tomorrow night, won't
ya?
ANN
And you'll be ready to jump in?
DEAN
Like a blaze of glory
He grins and she rolls her eyes and smiles. Sam walks in the room
SAM
Is this what I left for?
Ann gets off the bed, walks up to him and places her hand over chest
ANN
Oh no, I'm in so much pain! Hand
over the bottle!
Sam smirks and hands it to her. She grabs a water bottle out of the fridge and takes two. He rolls his eyes
EXT JOY OF SATAN HOUSE - NIGHT
Dean drives up to the address on the envelope. He parks down the street and across. The exterior of the house has flowers planted in the front and a wooden bird feeder in the bushes
DEAN
Are you sure this is the right place?
SAM
That's the address
DEAN
Huh
They see a car pull up into the drive and see two robed figures walk into the house
ANN
Oh yeah, this is the place
Ann sets her chin on Dean's shoulder as they stare at the house. She tilts her head against his
SAM
Ready?
ANN
As I'll ever be, I'm sure
Sam gets out of the car. Ann sighs and kisses Dean's cheek. As she gets out of the car, Dean grabs her arm
DEAN
Everything will be fine, you'll see.
It's just kids getting cheap thrills
She smiles and joins Sam for the walk in. They walk to the door and notice a note taped to it
SAM
Join us in the basement
Ann raises her eyebrows at him but they walk in
INT HOUSE - BASEMENT - NIGHT
Sam and Ann walk down the stairs and see three other potential members, an altar with candles and other symbols, and three hooded figures at the head of the altar
HOODED FIGURE 1
Welcome. Please, stand in the middle.
You're the last ones to arrive
Sam and Ann do what they're told
HOODED FIGURE 2
Please, bow your heads
The five people in the middle of the room bow their heads, including Sam and Ann
HOODED FIGURE 3
We supply five offerings for you, Lord Satan.
Send a member of your church to collect
One of the five potential members starts shaking and falls to the ground. Sam and Ann just look. The guy stands up and cracks his neck
DEMON
Satan welcomes your offerings
HOODED FIGURE 2
To whom are we speaking?
DEMON
Just call me Rick. Who's the leader?
HOODED FIGURE 1
That would be me, Rick. Thank you
for accepting these offerings in the name
of Satan
Rick smirks and walks over to the figure. He cups the figures face in his hands and clicks his tongue
DEMON
How dare you bring hunters here
With a quick motion, he snaps her neck and she falls to the ground. Sam and Ann look at each other and look back up at the altar. The other two potential members have frightened looks on their faces
DEMON
You shouldn't belive all the hype.
You don't have to go through all this
to follow Satan
One of the hooded members tries to make a break for it. The demon waves his hand and sends him into the wall. He drops to the floor. The demon walks out from behind the altar
DEMON
Let's see, let's play a game.
It's called guess who the Hunters
are
He walks up to the girl standing in front of Sam. The demon sniffs her as she trembles
DEMON
With a history like that, you'll be
perfect for downstairs
He cocks his head to the side as he looks at her
DEMON
Huh, why wait?
With a swift motion, he cracks her neck and she falls to the ground. He then walks up to Ann. She stiffens up as he gets close
DEMON
Oh, there's something about you.
I can't pinpoint what, but it's
big. I'll come back to you
The other guy kneels down to the ground and starts bowing
GUY
Please, please, I'll do anything you
want!
Before the demon has time to react Sam swiftly comes up behind him and puts a chokehold on him. Ann tries to run to the stairs while pulling out her cell phone. She manages to dial Dean before the Demon sends her across the room
DEMON
Stay a while, would ya?
The demon breaks out of Sam's hold and mentally tosses him up against the wall
DEMON
Sam Winchester. I knew I smelled hell
SongbirdSoph - March 17, 2009 07:07 AM (GMT)
Sam just stares at him
DEMON
What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?
The Demon laughs. Behind him, Ann opens her eyes and looks at Sam. He looks back and she quickly closes her eyes and sets her head back down. The demon follows his gaze and laughs
DEMON
Well, she definitely can't help you!
SAM
What do you want?
The Demon turns back to Sam. Ann slowly pulls out a rosary from her pocket and reaches over to a bottle of water
DEMON
Actually, I'm just here to deliver a
message. Pity, really, but I do have
specific orders not to kill you
O.S. Dean busts in the front door
DEAN
(O.S.)
Ann! Sam!
DEMON
We're just adding to the party now, aren't
we?
Dean comes down the stairs and the demon immediately holds him mentally against the wall
DEMON
I suppose you should hear this too
Ann unscrews the cap and begins chanting quietly in latin
ANN
(HUSHED WHISPER)
Exorcizo te, creatura aquæ, in nomine
Dei Patris omnipotentis, et in nomine
Jesu Christi, Filii ejus Domini nostri,
et in virtute Spiritus Sancti: ut fias
aqua exorcizata ad effugandam omnem potestatem
inimici, et ipsum inimicum eradicare et
explantare valeas cum angelis suis apostaticis,
per virtutem ejusdem Domini nostri Jesu Christ:
qui venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos et
sæculum per ignem.
Deus, qui ad salutem humani generis maxima
quæque sacramenta in aquarum substantia
condidisti: adesto propitius invocationibus
nostris, et elemento huic, multimodis
purificationibus præparato, virtutem tuæ
benedictionis infunde; ut creatura tua,
mysteriis tuis serviens, ad abigendos dæmones
morbosque pellendos divinæ gratiæ sumat effectum;
ut quidquid in domibus vel in locis fidelium hæc
unda resperserit careat omni immunditia, liberetur
a noxa. Non illic resideat spiritus pestilens,
non aura corrumpens: discedant omnes insidiæ
latentis inimici; et si quid est quod aut
incolumitati habitantium invidet aut quieti,
aspersione hujus aquæ effugiat: ut salubritas,
per invocationem sancti tui nominis expetita,
ab omnibus sit impugnationibus defensa. Per Dominum, amen.
The Demon looks at both brothers
DEMON
See, after your last encounter with Lilith,
she's not taking it very well. In fact, you
could say she's downright pissed. So she has
set up a little get together for you at the
mall, downtown
DEAN
How did she even know we were here?
DEMON
You think you're precious little angel
stumbled upon that website by chance?
The Demon chuckles
DEMON
We'll take credit for that one
ANN
(O.S.)
And I'll take credit for this
The Demon spins around and Ann dumps holy water on him, holds a pentagram on his forehead and begins the exorcism
ANN
Exorcizamus te, omnis immundus spiritus,
omnis satanica potestas, omnis incursio
infernalis adversarii, omnis legio, omnis
congregatio et secta diabolica
DEMON
You bitch!
He shoves her down onto the alter and black smoke leaves his mouth. Sam and Dean fall and they rush over to Ann. Sam reaches his arms under her shoulders from behind and stands her up
DEAN
You okay?
Ann rubs the back of her head
ANN
I'm good
Sam looks at her and shakes his head
ANN
What?
SAM
I'm impressed
ANN
I study
Ann starts walking towards the stairs when a girl comes running down them. Sam holds up his knife and Dean takes aim with his gun. Ann just stops as the girl rushes past her towards Sam and Dean
GIRL
We have to go, now. There's something
big going on
SAM
Excuse me?
GIRL
You heard me, there's something happening,
downtown mall
SAM
Ruby?
Ann walks up next to her and just looks at her
ANN & RUBY
Who the hell are you?
Ruby crosses her arms and so does Ann
ANN & RUBY
Well?
DEAN
Ruby, Ann, Ann, Ruby
RUBY
That still doesn't answer my question
ANN
Same here, bitch
RUBY
Oooohhh, name calling, I like her already
DEAN
Oh god, can we go?
EXT HOUSE - NIGHT
Ann, Sam, Dean walk towards the impala and Ruby walks towards an old Monte Carlo. Sam stops and watches Ruby walk to the car. Dean turns to look at him
DEAN
You comin or what?
SAM
Yeah, I'm gonna ride with Ruby.
I'll meet you back at the room
Before Dean can say anything, Sam walks off towards Ruby. Ann scoffs as she gets in the passenger seat. Dean purses his lips, shakes his head and gets into the car
EXT MONTE CARLO - NIGHT
Ruby opens her door but Sam stops her before she gets in
SAM
Ruby, wait. I'm coming with you
RUBY
Get in
INT IMPALA - NIGHT
Dean is driving back to the motel room
ANN
So, Ruby is?
DEAN
It's a long story
ANN
I got time
DEAN
She's a demon we met a couple years ago
ANN
You guys are playing nice with a demon?
Are you jokin me?
DEAN
It's a lot more complicated than that
ANN
Give me the Ruby for Dummies version
then, cause I'm dyin to hear this
DEAN
I'm still on the fence about her but
she has Sam thinkin otherwise. She
helps us, Ann. She knows things we
don't, has things we need. You could
say we've been through a lot together
ANN
And by a lot you mean what exactly?
DEAN
Don't get jealous, baby. I mean she's
been there for fights, info, anything.
She saved Sam's life while I was in the
pit
Ann sighs
DEAN
Try to get along
ANN
I don't make promises I can't keep
Dean smiles
INT MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Dean is in the chair at the table sitting across from Sam, as Ruby and Ann are sizing each other up sitting across from each other on the beds
SAM
So you're basically tellin us it's gonna
be a showdown with people shopping?
Ruby still stares at Ann
RUBY
That's what they're saying. She's gonna
start the festivities at close, unless of
course she smells us coming
She gets up off the bed and looks at them both. She reaches onto her belt and pulls off two bags
RUBY
Hex bags, heavy duty
She tosses one to Sam and one to Dean
RUBY
This will get us in, everybody out, and
she won't even know what's happening. And
since she doesn't know your new friend here,
I'm guessing she'll be fine
DEAN
Guessing?
RUBY
Hey, I didn't count on a third party, okay?
If she sticks with me, she'll be fine
Ann scoffs
ANN
No way
Ruby glares at her
RUBY
I don't think you have much of a
choice here, princess
SAM
Calm down. Ruby's right. We can set up shop
at a certain point and Lilith won't know we're
there. Meanwhile, you two can keep lookout
and let us know where she's at. As long as she
doesn't look at Ruby's face, we're clear
DEAN
Yeah, nice choice on meatsuits
RUBY
Do you know how hard it is to find comatose
Jane Doe's? I need to take care of these
things now
DEAN
Rough life, huh?
Ruby just glares at Dean
SAM
Enough. So tomorrow night, 8:30, we need
to set up a meeting point
ANN
I say we find a Macy's
DEAN
Why is that not surprising
RUBY
I'm with her on this one
Ann smiles
ANN
You're growin on me
Ruby smiles back. Dean and Sam roll their eyes and sigh
ANN & RUBY
What?
SongbirdSoph - March 17, 2009 07:08 AM (GMT)
INT DOWNTOWN MALL - NIGHT
Ann, Dean, Ruby and Sam are at a little area that has a ramp and benches on either side of the ramp. The duffels are on the benches
SAM
Ruby, take Ann and look for Lilith.
Let us know when you find her
Ann looks at Dean and he nods
DEAN
When Ruby finds her, don't let Lilith
look at her face
ANN
Why?
RUBY
She can see the real me under the
meatsuit
ANN
That must be hell
RUBY
You have no idea. Come on, let's go
Ruby starts walking away and Ann glances over at Dean and follows her
SAM
Take care of her
Ruby glances at Sam
RUBY
We'll be fine
INT DOWNTOWN MALL - CLOTHING STORE - NIGHT
Ann is cautious of Ruby as they look through the clothing racks. Ruby picks up a skirt
RUBY
Clothes by Paris Hilton?
ANN
That's actually cute
RUBY
I'm sure Sam and Dean won't mind
if I try this on. What do you think?
Ann tilts her head
ANN
Oh Ruby, I don't think we should...
RUBY
Great, I'll be right out
Ruby walks into the dressing room area while Ann tries to protest but Ruby closes the door
RUBY
(O.S.)
This is really cute! You should
try this too!
Ann gets an uneasy feeling and shifts on her feet
ANN
Ruby, I think we should go
RUBY
I'm almost done, big baby
Ann rolls her eyes. All of a sudden there's an explosion in the store and gas starts leaking out of pipes. Ann begins coughing and choking
ANN
Ruby! We gotta go! I have to go!
Ruby!
Ann starts tearing up. She runs out of the store gagging with all the other customers. Ruby quickly comes up behind her
RUBY
Are you okay?
ANN
Yeah, I'm good
RUBY
We have to get to Sam and Dean
Ann nods. Ruby grabs her towards an escalator but stops
ANN
What?
Ruby quickly turns away
RUBY
Lilith
Ann turns her head and sees a little girl with two adults walking towards the store they were just in. Ann looks back at Ruby and points towards the elevators down a hallway
ANN
Go that way, I'll go this way and
we'll meet down there
Ruby nods and runs off as Ann takes off down the elevator
INT DOWNTOWN MALL - FIRST FLOOR - NIGHT
Ann runs to where Sam and Dean are and notices an explosion took place down there too. Sam is crouching holding his side, waiting for something else
ANN
Sam!
SAM
Are you okay?
ANN
I'm fine
SAM
Where's Ruby?
ANN
She had to take another way. Lilith's
upstairs. Dean?
Sam points over to one of the benches and she sees Dean with his back towards her, bent over
ANN
Dean!
She runs to him and as he turns around, she notices a big gash on the side of his face. She grabs his jaw and kisses him. He leans to the side to cough
DEAN
Are you okay?
ANN
I'm fine. So, what now?
SAM
We wait
Ann sits up against the wall with a weapon beside her. At this point the mall is closing, and people are clearing out. Two men who don't speak english stop at the bench all their stuff is on. Ann turns around and stares at them. They look back and begin speaking a foreign language. Ann glares at them
ANN
Christo!
The two men look at her confused and walk off. She rolls her eyes and crouches back down. The mall is now empty of people and Ruby still isn't back
ANN
I don't like this sit and wait stuff.
And where the hell is Ruby?
Just then, all the lights in the mall shut down. It's pitch black. Sam takes a stance of the beginning of the ramp, Dean crouches at the end and Ann tucks herself in the middle against the wall. They hear a child's footsteps make their way towards them. The footsteps stop on the other side of the wall from Ann. A big thump is heard in front of Ann and she springs up
ANN
Here! She's here!
Ann reaches over to where the thud was and realizes it's just a full pop bottle
ANN
crap!
Lilith jumps on Ann's back and she screams. Sam and Dean run towards her
SongbirdSoph - March 17, 2009 07:10 AM (GMT)
Lilith pins Sam and Dean against the ramp wall while the two other demons stand guard in front of them. Lilith pins Ann down to the floor and just looks at her. Lilith cocks her head to the side
DEAN
Don't you lay a hand on her! She has
nothing to do with any of this!
Lilith just smiles and holds up her hand
LILITH
Did you know I could end you by one
flick of my hand?
Ann closes her eyes and flinches
SAM
Leave her alone! Take us!
Lilith looks away from Ann and walks towards the boys
LILITH
I have a deal to make with you, boys
DEAN
Go to hell!
Lilith laughs
LILITH
You know, that's actually funny
coming from you! I can see you
may need some time to think about
it
SAM
We will NEVER deal with you!
LILITH
Never say never boys
Lilith snaps her fingers and the two other demons swoop Ann up
ANN
What are you doing? Dean! Sam!
Lilith just laughs
DEAN
Take us! You don't need her!
Take me!
Lilith stops in her tracks and looks at the boys
LILITH
Silly rabbits, tricks are for kids
Lilith and the demons walk out of the mall
A few hours later, Sam and Dean are still pinned against the wall. Sam looks over at Dean
SAM
How much longer you think she'll
keep us here?
Dean just stares ahead
DEAN
Don't know. I do know, if anything
happens to Ann, she's dead, Sam
SAM
I know, Dean
DEAN
And you know another thing? Where the
hell was Ruby? I mean really?
SAM
I don't know what to say
DEAN
Well I do. You know how I feel about
that, Sam. If there comes a day, when
I find out she's screwing us in the ass,
she's not gonna be ridin around in another
meatsuit
SAM
That's what I'm afraid of
Sam sighs. Both of them fall to the ground at the same time. Dean quickly gathers their stuff and Sam helps. Ruby comes running down the corridor towards them. She runs up to Sam and he slightly ignores her
RUBY
Sam?
SAM
Where the hell were you, Ruby? We
needed you
DEAN
Lilith took Ann
RUBY
I couldn't help it. I was pinned
down, there was nothing I could do
DEAN
Do us a favor. Don't try and help
anymore, okay?
RUBY
Dean...
SAM
No Ruby, he's right. If you can't
help, don't come
INT MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Dean is sitting on the bed cleaning his guns while Sam is on the computer. Dean glances over at him
DEAN
Anything?
SAM
No, nothing. The GPS still can't track
her cause the phone still isn't on
DEAN
Where the hell is Bobby, damn it!
SAM
He had an hour drive. He should be
here any minute
DEAN
I can't stand this
SAM
I know
INT UNKNOWN LOCATION - WAREHOUSE - NIGHT
Ann is strapped down in a chair with a blindfold on. Her wrists and ankles are strapped to the chair. Lilith slowly removes the blindfold
LILITH
Well, hello there
ANN
What do you want?
LILITH
Hmm, I want a mansion, a puppy who
plays nice and a million dollars.
Oh wait, I could have that if I
really wanted it
Lilith smiles and Ann rolls her eyes
LILITH
What I really want, is your boys
to strike up a little deal with
me. See, they have something I
want. I figure since Dean is all
touched by an angel and I can't
do anything to Sam, I have to try
something
ANN
They won't deal
LILITH
Oh, I think they will. Tell me
something, where do you think
you fit in all this?
ANN
None of your business
LILITH
I mean, did you save them and they
owe ya, or vice versa?
Ann just rolls her eyes
LILITH
Or, wait. You're sleeping with one
of them, aren't you?
ANN
Why the hell would I tell you that?
Lilith's eyes light up
LILITH
Which one is it? I bet it's Sam.
Is it Sam? He's good in bed right?
ANN
Shove a cork in it, will ya?
Lilith's eyes widen and she slowly glances at Ann and giggles
LILITH
Oh my god, it's Dean!
ANN
Why am I even here?
LILITH
You, my dear, are leverage. They
don't make the deal, I bargain
using you
Lilith walks over to her and puts the blindfold back on
LILITH
Now take a nap. I'm sure it won't be
long
INT MOTEL ROOM - NIGHT
Bobby, Dean and Sam just get done locating Lilith
BOBBY
Wylie, Texas
Dean and Sam look at each other
SAM
Why Texas?
Dean shrugs and starts gathering their stuff
DEAN
Don't know, don't care. Let's go.
Bobby, you want in on this?
BOBBY
I thought I was already in?
DEAN
Let's go
TO BE CONTINUED... IN BLUE ON BLACK...
