Daddy's Little Hunter (SPN Season 1)

Dead in the Water [2]

Dean was inside the motel room sitting on the bed. 

Natalia watching some cartoons on the television. 

Sam opened the door and came in. "So, I think it's safe to say we can rule out Nessie," Sam said.

"What do you mean?" Dean asked

Sam sat next to Dean "I just drove past the Carlton house. There was an ambulance there. Will Carlton is dead,"

"He drowned?"

"Yep. In the sink,"

"What the hell? So you're right, this isn't a creature. We're dealing with something else,"

"Yeah, but what?"

"I don't know. Water wraith, maybe? Some kind of demon? I mean, something that controls water...water that comes from the same source,"

"The lake,"

"Yeah,"

"Which would explain why it's upping the body count. The lake is draining. It'll be dry in a few months. Whatever this thing is, whatever it wants, it's running out of time,"

"And if it can get through the pipes, it can get to anyone, almost anywhere." Dean stood up "This is gonna happen again soon," Dean sat down on a chair.

"And we do know one other thing for sure. We know this has got something to do with Bill Carlton,"

"Yeah, it took both his kids,"

"And I've been asking around. Lucas's dad, Chris-Bill Carlton's godson,"

"Let's go pay Mr. Carlton a visit."

Bill Carlton was sitting on the bench on the dock.

"Mr. Carlton?" Sam asked

Bill looked up. 

Sam and Dean approached.

"We'd like to ask you a few questions if you don't mind," Sam said

"We're from the...the Department-" Dean said

"I don't care who you're with." Bill said "I've answered enough questions today,"

"Your son said he saw something in that lake." Sam said "What about you? You ever see anything out there? Mr. Carlton, Sophie's drowning and Will's death-we think there might be a connection to you or your family,"

"My children are gone. It's...it's worse than dying. Go away. Please,"

Sam and Dean headed back to the car. "What do you think?"

"Aw, I think the poor guy's been through hell. I also think he's not telling us something," Dean said.

Sam leaned on the Impala "So now what?"

Dean went still.

"What is it?"

"Huh." Dean was looking at the Carlton house. "Maybe Bill's not the only one who knows something," Dean pulled out the picture Natalia had brought him from Lucas, which was of the Carlton house. Dean looked at Natalia, who was sitting in the Impala, doodling. Dean looked back at Sam.

"I'm sorry, but I don't think it's a good idea," Andrea told Dean

"I just need to talk to him," Dean told her

Sam and Dean were inside Andrea's house, talking to her.

"Just for a few minutes,"

"He won't say anything. What good's it gonna do?" Andrea asked
