"No." Karen responded almost immediately. 
"Please, this is our job. We don't want you in a dangerous place, where at least 4 people have disappeared."
"Well at least you're aware of all the other people just disappear off the map. My friend is missing and I will find her." Karen's voice was full of steel as she spoke.
"We can have you arrested." Dean threatened. 
"For what? Staying at a hotel?" Karen gestured with one arm.
"Obstruction of justice." Dean retorted.
"I'm not obstructing anyone. I'm looking for her on my own." Karen snapped back.
"Withholding evidence," Karen started to say something but Dean held up his hand before continuing. "You know something about why she was here, but haven't told the cops. I read the report. You want them to focus here."
"That's because this is the last place she was seen, and the cops are ignoring it." Karen caught herself from launching into a tirade about the cops or the supernatural by taking a deep breath and turning to face Lucille.

"We'll get the girls and then the two guys before they can figure out what happened to them." She was hungry, but she plotted.
