When they got back to the Manor, Dean suggested that some of them should go and do some research (Sam had taken photos of the crime scene with his satellite phone) and two of them should wait for Bobby and Ellen. Sam insisted he go do research, Artemis agreed to do it, as he was a technical wiz, and Butler said he’d do it aswell. So, Dean and Livia were sitting in the bar room waiting for Ellen and Bobby. Dean and Livia sat in silence for a while. But something was bugging Livia.

“Dean, what if yellow eyes planted that stuff there? What if he put it there so we would go to him?” She asked glancing at him. Dean gulped his beer then looked at her.

“Whatever he wants, we’ll get him before he lays a finger on you ok?” he said. They heard knocking and a womens voice.

“Dean? It’s us, Bobby and Ellen”. Dean and Livia looked at each other then headed for the door. Dean opened it.

“Hey Bobby, Hey Ellen”

“How are you hun? How you goin’ Liv?” Ellen said giving Livia a hug.

“Not too bad” Livia replied, hugging her back. Dean and Bobby had one of their manly hugs and then he said hi to Livia. Livia showed them to their rooms then they all went into the study. Sam introduced Ellen and Bobby to Butler and Artemis. Bobby and Butler seemed to get along very well.

“Okay. We need to go through every murder that’s happened, see if we can find a pattern, and we need to look over these maps. See if we’ve missed anything.” Bobby instructed them. Everyone nodded, then went to their jobs. Butler, Dean, Ellen and Bobby went through the books on Demon lore and the maps, while Artemis, Sam and Livia went on the computer to search through the stories on the murders. Time dragged on. Books were proving useful, but not in this situation. The other murder stories were pretty much the same. Sam and Livia copied the map of the state as Sam was sure he noticed something. And sure enough he had it.

“Guys! Come look at this!” Livia shouted into the study room. As they all came around , Sam was putting the locations of the murders on the map.

” What have you got Sammy?” Dean asked, sitting on the desk.

“Well, look at all these murders. Their all around the state, but, they haven’t touched Wicklow. It’s squeaky clean”

“Yeah, but apparently there’s been Demon storms and sightings all around the top, and around, that state. They’re all over the country” Bobby said, crossing his arms.

“It’s like they’re surrounding it” Livia commented.

“Or something’s being kept in” Dean added. There was a silence after that.

“Okay, we need to find out what’s in Wicklow that the Demon would want.” Ellen instructed. Everyone went back to what they were doing before. They switched jobs, returned to jobs, printed things off. Over all, Ellen, Sam, Butler and Bobby had at least six coffees each, Artemis had four earl grey teas, Dean had two beers and four glasses of coke and Livia had four glasses of coke and two Cadbury chocolate bars. They were all digging information well into the afternoon. It was at least three forty seven when they finally had a breakthrough.

“I don’t believe it” Bobby said surprised, dropping a book on the table.

“What is it Bobby?” Livia said walking over to him. Bobby rubbed a hand through his hair then looked at her, like he was about to tell her a relative of hers was a king.

“Well, I think you should all get a look at this”. As everyone crowded around the table for their meeting, Bobby was going over the information. He glanced at Livia again in concern.

He grabbed the map Sam had marked up earlier. He got a black marker off the desk next to him.

“Well, there are abandoned churches all dotted out around the state. But the thing about them is, they were built by Samuel colt” Bobby briefed them. He put crosses on the locations of the churches.

“Wait, the gun building Samuel Colt?” Dean asked leaning forward from sitting on a desk.

“That’s the one” Bobby replied.

“Well what’s the deal with these abandoned churches?” Livia asked, sensing a case.

“See, he had private railways connected to all these churches. And when you join them together…” He said, opening the marker and drawing lines to the x’s marking the churches in a pattern. “They happen to look like this.” He put the marker down again. What was on the map now, was a giant star, or as hunters knew them…

“A giant Devil’s trap” Ellen said shocked.

“A pentagram like no other” Artemis said staring at the diagram.

“That’s gotta be the biggest one I’ve ever seen” Sam said, also shocked.

“The railway lines are made of iron” Bobby added.

” Bobby, what’s in the middle of it?” Livia asked him. Dean knew when Livia was onto something. She always went all FBI on everyone.

“I checked that out. There’s nothing but an old cowboy cemetary” Dean informed.

“So whatever Samuel Colt built this for, It’s got the Demons bugged. It’s keeping them out” She said glancing up at everyone.

“Or It’s keeping something in” Sam said.

“We need to go down there and check it out” Dean instructed them, getting up.

“Wait!” Livia shouted. Everyone stopped and looked at her. Livia sighed.

” If these lines are iron, not to mention it’s a Devil’s trap, then how the hell is Yellow eyes going to get in? If he want’s whatever is in there” Livia explained. It seemed to sink into everyone. Artemis stood up.

“All right. We need to go back to the crime scene, see if there’s anything we could use. And also, I think it’s time I came up with a plan” He grinned his vampire grin.
