BUNKER MAIN ROOM
[ ☾]

        Sam unrolls a medical kit with five syringes. Crowley and Kevin watch. Sam pulls one out and prepares to inject himself. Crowley makes a negating sound. "Ah, bup-bup-bup." He says.

       Sam stops before he injects himself. "What?" He asks.

       "Not yours. His." Crowley nods his head towards Kevin.

      "What difference does it make?" Sam asks.

       "I've had yours. Stuck in here, you can't fault me for wanting a little variety."

       "No way!" Yells Kevin.

        "What's wrong, Short Round? Afraid of needles?" Crowley asks.

        "No, I just have a policy of not giving blood to anyone who's murdered my mother."

         "I ... have nothing ... but time." He says.

        "You're a dick." Sam packs up the kit.

         "Good luck with that translation." Crowley says.

        Kevin, frustrated and angry, grabs the kit and a syringe. With Crowley watching, he sticks the needle deep in his left elbow, above a tattoo, and craws blood. A few seconds later we see the blood being squirted into a metal dish. Sam looks angry.

        "Inferni sectatores, nunc audite regem." Crowley says. The blood swirls, with mysterious noises. He is speaking to the bowl of blood, to the unseen demons on the other end of the call. "This is Crowley. Connect me to—Crowley!" He repeats, annoyed. "Bad connection. Crowley. Your king. If you don't connect me to Abaddon right away, I will be forced to—" Crowley cuts off and pauses.

        "What? What happened?" Asks Sam.

       "I've been placed on hold."

NORA'S HOUSE
[ ☾]

        Castiel walks in tentatively. "Hello? Um... Please – please don't. Um ... Okay. Oooo-kay, okay." He picks up the baby. "How 'bout – how 'bout a lullaby? Um... Okay. Shh. Shh!" Cass begins singing "Believe It or Not" (the theme from "The Greatest American Hero"

       Cass tries to put the baby down and she starts crying again. He picks her up again. "Shhh. I know, I know." He says.

IMPALA
[ ☾]

       Dean is in the Impala, driving. His cell phone rings. "Sheriff?" He asks.

        "Now, here's a wrinkle. Our first crime scene, married couple?" The Sheriff says. "Full analysis of the spray came in from the lab. Turns out it only contains the wife's DNA."

       "The husband's still out there." Dean says.

NORA'S HOUSE
[ ☾]

         Cass is sitting in a chair with the baby, holding and rocking her. "Nobody told you. Nobody explained. You're just ... shoved out kicking and screaming into this human life, without any idea why any of it feels the way it feels, or why this confusion, which feels like it's ... a hair's breadth." The baby stops crying. "...from terror or pain. You know, just when you think you do understand, it'll turn out you're wrong. You didn't understand anything at all. Guess that's just how it is when you're new at this. You know, it wasn't that long ago when all I'd need to do to ease your pain was touch you."
