Golden dust motes drifted through the dim light of the saloon as you pushed through the swinging doors, the atmosphere instantly snapping tight like a cocked hammer. At the bar, Sheriff Dean Winchester froze, his emerald eyes narrowing behind the rim of his whiskey glass. The bartender, sensing the approaching gale, busied himself with a rag and a sudden, strategic silence.

"The hell do you want here?" he muttered, his voice a rough growl, refusing to meet you's eyes.
