“Yeah, yeah. Don’t get too chummy, Daryl.”
Winchester did this quite often. When he felt that people were getting too friendly with him, he’d call them by the wrong name to throw them off at his faux sense of not really caring for them. But he did care for his crew. ‘Course, he’d never say it aloud.
“So what’s the plan? Where do I need to be and when?”
Winchester rose and plucked the pencil from the man’s eye socket. A sickening squish acquainted the removal of the improvised weapon. Somehow it wasn’t splintered. He tore a sheet of paper from a clipboard and sat down again.

Winchester scoffed. “Alright, dude. Don’t get yourself killed, aight? Lie your way out. It’s what you’re good at.” Winchester grinned and chucked his note-taking materials across the room since he had no need for them now. “Till next time. Imma go get some dough for this bounty. See ya.” Winchester hung up the phone and stuffed it in the inside pocket of his leather jacket. Picking up his sundry weapons, he exited the post office with a kick through the front door. He began to walk down damp and moist streets after midnight when no one was around. He whistled a jaunty tune, realizing that pretty soon he would make his homecoming.
