In a usual situation, well usual for the Winchesters at least, Sam would be the first one hitting the books. He always felt better prepared for any situation with even just a little background check. This situation shouldn't have been any different really, except for the lack of researchable material on the city. Hawkes suggestion made even more sense when you considered that, but Sam didn't think he was the one that Hawke was going to have to convince.
"Well at least I won't have to be building any more homemade bombs." Sam said with a small smile. "Do you think you need any more books or are you set for now? At least til I finish my life story." He smirked slightly.
