[The video feed snaps on as a harried-looking Ellen is barking orders just offscreen. She's nursing a spectacular bruise across the right side of her face and a cut on her forehead. Yes, it's already been an eventful afternoon. The front of the Roadhouse is being barricaded and shored up against the slowly increasing mob of infected who are

Backup en route.

[She manages to get the tablet back on, but the camera's currently blocked. The shifting image seems to indicate she's shoved the device in her pocket, leaving her hands free.]

Much appreciated. Front's.. it's about as secure as it's gonna get. They're all massing out there for the moment.

[hate4everything]

It works. I'll be there in a few.

I'll have the place buttoned up tight. It's acted as a safehouse before. There are enough boltholes in here if the place gets overrun.

[clairedanvers]

Oh. I wish I had thought of going there. You always seem to know what you're doing.

[roadhouse_mama]

Claire? [Ellen rips the tablet out of her pocket] Honey, where are you? Are you safe?

[ video ]

[clairedanvers]

I'm in my apartment but the windows are broken. I'm trying to board them up. And I have weapons. I mean I just got them. I don't know where Myrnin is.

[roadhouse_mama]

All right. If you're indoors, you should be safe. Get your windows boarded up and stay quiet. Once I hear from one of the Winchesters, I can get one of them to get you over here if you need it.

And if I hear from Myrnin, I'll let him know you're okay.

[axecerbic]

Think we can manage that.

[roadhouse_mama]

The front of the place is drawing quite a crowd. [There's a quiet, solid rack as she reloads the weapons that have been stashed at the bar] Might be too much to draw away.

[axecerbic]

I'll be sure to come bearing gifts, in that case.

[groovy_mutation]

I'll be heading that way as soon as I can.

[And he finds others to go with. He'd be a meals on wheels if he went out alone.]

[roadhouse_mama]

Be careful, Charles. Try for the back if you can. I don't think they've figured that out yet.

[groovy_mutation]

And you as well. You aren't all alone there are you?

[He'll make note of the back door as the entrance to take.]

[roadhouse_mama]

No, I've got a few stragglers inside. Some of the hunters are going to try and make their way around. We can hold the place, but we need those herds out front thinned out if this keeps up.

[Voice]

[will_end_you]

Ellen. Good to hear from you.

Has anybody else checked in since this frigging infestation started?

[Voice]

[roadhouse_mama]

Glad to hear you're still with us, Dean.

I heard from Sam and Cas so far. The Roadhouse is sealed up, but we're going to have a hard time with the crowd out front if this keeps up for too long.

[Voice]

[will_end_you]

Yeah. This place is a real picnic, isn't it? Tried for some R&R in one of the caves around here. Didn't go so well. Guess the Roadhouse is still up and running, too. [Unless the zombies tore through it, but that wasn't really worth mentioning at this point.]

Sam and Cas? That's good. Seems like they're thinning out our numbers down here. Should probably check on the others when there's not so many things out there trying to eat us. [Not that the zombies weren't able to be dealt with, but he'd rather not have to wade through them across the entire Underworld.]

It doesn't beat the Sharktopi that attacked the first day I arrived.

Dean, skip swinging by the Roadhouse. I just spoke to Dr McCoy, it sounds like he could use the backup a damn sight more than we could. We'll manage. Make sure he and his are all right?
