MAN FOUND DECEASED IN HOME.

Alan Zwick, 28, was found dead in his home by wife, Tabitha Zwick. Upon finding her husband's body, Zwick immediately called the police to report the gruesome details about Alan's apparent murder. Police have reported that the body was found with multiple stab wounds and several strange markings on the man's nec-

[Sam didn't finish the brief news report and immediately opened up a new tab to the Chicago city Police website to find the police report from the day of the murder.]

Murder
A 28 year old man was murdered in his home at approximately 1930 hours. Body was cut several times in the torso, arms and legs with what appears to be a bladed object, between 1-2 feet long. The body is also covered in several large bruises, suggesting battering took place before the murder. Odd teeth-like markings around the neck. Blood was found in the same room the body was murdered, but it appears to have been spread across the kitchen, the living room and on the ceilings as well. Official cause of death is unknown. Exanguination and lack of oxygen are suspect.

Ring ring!

[The morning after the party had ended, one of the first things Thor noticed was his gracious host was not at home. It seemed odd to him that he couldn't hear the usual sounds of machinery coming from the basement, nor could he hear anything else... Everything just seemed too quiet. Thor carefully checked the house and examined Tony's multiple rooms, but he soon discovered that he was alone... He even risked speaking to the voice.

Jarvis? Locate Tony Stark.
Mister Stark cannot be located at home.

A tight knot formed in his stomach as he wondered where Tony could have been - perhaps he'd stepped out this morning or slipped out to bed a woman from the night before and he simply missed it? Nevertheless, his mind began to irritatingly nag at him until he remembered his gift from Tony and he pulled out his phone to text him.]

[Text to Tony Stark]
Stark? Where are you..?

[Public Forum]
Excellent party! Fun was had by all, yes? Including the ladies Stark hopefully went home with entertained!

[As Thor wandered through the streets of Chicago there was no possible way that he could miss the hundreds of signs that were plastered all over the city. After passing what felt like the hundredth one, Thor actually stopped to read what it said on the flyer.

Mister... Tony Stark invites you...

Tony Stark? I know Tony Stark!

After reading the rest of the page, Thor excitedly grabbed his cell phone out from his pocket and he positioned himself directly next to the Man of Iron's flyer. His face broke out in a huge and proud smile as he snapped a picture of himself (partly because he was still excited to use his new device). It took him a few minutes to figure out how he could attach the "photograph" to a "text message", but he eventually figured it out and wrote under the photo - WE SHALL FEAST AND DRINK!!! What are sneakers? - before sending it to Tony. He pressed a few more buttons to ensure that the photograph sent out correctly and, unknowingly, Thor sent the picture and the message out into the public forum.]

Define formal.

I need to ask you for a favor.

[Irene Adler]

I'm not concerned before you ask Will you be going to this party with those things running around Chicago? SH

[John Watson]

You like parties, don't you John? SH

[Text to Ben]

I spoke to my dad. We're doing everything we can to find your mom. [...] How are you holding up?

[Group Message between D. Winchester, S. Winchester, Castiel, J. Harvelle]

Something is going to go down at this party.

[Public]

Looks like it's time to find my dancing shoes.

Hey, blondie. I've got a few questions about doing the Monster Mash if you've got the time.

[Text to Archer]

There's a party in three days. We're going.

[Public]

Is it often in Chicago that someone invites millions of strangers to their home for a party? Isn't it just a little shady?

[Tony Stark doesn't like being in the public eye if he doesn't have control over it. So to 'celebrate' his newly found freedom, there are posters all over the city of Chicago that read as such:]

[After trudging through pages and pages of youtube comments, John finds out the name of that shooting game going on in the background. It wasn't much but it was a start. There wasn't much else in the video that he could go on since it was shot indoors.

Any other hunters looking into the vampires might be informed about a fellow FBI agent by the name of Winchester who also happens to be interested in the location of the origin of the video and recent Call of Duty purchases, both at stores and online, though only in certain parts of Chicago. Parts where there coincidentally have been missing persons reports.

He could have - should have - used an alias, but his name was a name that hunters and quite a few vampires knew. It was as good of a signal as he was ever going to give.]

The invasive forum posts may be fixed, though I wonder if our little troll is still privately viewing everything we do. They still haven't been caught, and I have yet to see an 'endgame' to all this.

Personally, I hope you are still trolling, little troll. If so, I want you to know you deserve an award for your hacking. Also, I need an address to send the bill for my replacement laptop.

Your biggest fan,
Tsuri

[Irene has seen the public texts and messages over the last few days, and as such refrained from messaging anyone upon seeing the all-too-familiar blonde vampire's face. Once the IT consultant posts that security has been restored, she makes the necessary changes to her account and immediately contacts the usual suspects plus one.]

[ Text to Sherlock ]

Did you see the video feed?

[ Text to Crowley ]

That hacker's webcam stunt exposed a group of vampires. I recognize one.

[ Locked to Castiel from La Femme ]

Castiel? I've seen this name on the forums before, I'm hoping that it's you. This is Irene Adler.

Did you see the video on the forum.

[The afternoon after the vampire webcam clip goes viral, the forum's activity returns to normal. Webcams no longer ignore their owners' wishes, microphones stay silent, and forum use is no longer restricted. Within five minutes of the return to normality, a post from an account labeled "max_j" is posted with high importance.]

To whom it may concern:

As you all may be aware, the forums were hacked during the last week. The city apologizes for the delay in righting this wrong and hopes that no one was too inconvenienced by the forum-wide disturbance. I along with several other IT techs and programmers were able to reclaim control from the anonymous hacker and restore complete utility to the forums once again. Unfortunately, all users will have to change their passwords and reset the security settings on their accounts -- we apologize for the inconvenience.

Though the forums have been restored to their proper working order, the hacker remains at large. Should anyone have information concerning his or her whereabouts or future activity, please inform me at your earliest convenience. Any questions can be forwarded to me, either here in the public forum or through my contact information listed below.

Thank you all for your patience.

Mr. Winchester,

I apologize for the hassle, but in our pursuit of the unknown hacker that took hold of the forums, a member of my IT team found that he or she had been using the IP addresses of several Chicago residents in order to access the forums. One of said IP addresses belongs to you. While we in no way suspect you, I do have to ask you to bring your laptop in to our headquarters so that it can be documented for future use. This should take no more than an hour, and can take place at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for your cooperation.

[Though the feed ran during an ungodly hour, it didn't go unnoticed. By 1:30 CST, a clip of the feed was up on YouTube. It lasted for 53 seconds, showing the redhead's scuffle and the subsequent display of unnaturally sharp teeth. The video was listed under the title "VAMPIRES????" and garnered over 2,000 hits by the afternoon. The video went viral soon after, with stories cropping up about the mysterious "vampires of Chicago." Various threads appear with different intents, ranging from the paranoid people claiming that this is some kind of government-regulated hoax to those certain that these creatures have a connection to the eyeless monsters that arose around Halloween 2011. Others still create fan pages to the androgynous redhead, wishing to "say hi back from the internet."

Public opinion is mixed, split, and dashed all to hell. But one thing is clear: if these people are vampires, Chicago might have more to worry about than bad weather.]

Dean, I think we need to get some help finding my mom, all I keep running into is dead ends. You know any big whig deons we could recruit or something? Or, what about your angel friend?

[The camera shows an empty motel room dingy in furnishings, the kind of place that obviously rents cheap. Eventually, the door opens and Jo enters. She's obviously just back from work: her hair is back in a ponytail, she's still wearing her apron and uniform and carrying a to-go bag.

She sets the food down on one of the beds and strips out of her shirt, tossing it carelessly onto a chair in the corner. Her apron follows it. She pulls her hair down from its tie, which finds a place on the nightstand beside the bed. This unburdening continues with the knife from her pocket placed on the nightstand as well and Jo props her foot on the bed and bends down to unstrap another knife from around her ankle, which goes beside the first knife. Free of weaponry, pulled her shoes off and then crossed the room to the mini-fridge, retrieving a Cherry Coke. Her last stop is in front of a shabby chest drawers, where she retrieves and plain black tank top and pulls it on.

Jo sets her soda on the nightstand, sits on the bed and pulls a cheeseburger from her bag of food and turns on the TV]
