audio + action
[She means to head the opposite way; Cami's shift at the bar is over , and she's headed down to her room to rest for a bit. But on her way out her phone slips between purse and hand, falls to the floor in just the right place for Cami to kick it further down the hall. She huffs out a laugh at her own clumsiness, turns intending to take the few steps needed to pick it up--
Then stops mid-stride as she sees the trail of blood where it's landed.
This isn't at all the first time Cami's come across a massacre. In her own world they're--well. Far more common than such a tragedy has a right to be. But even though there is only one body at the end of the path, there's so much blood it feels like there should be more. She swallows hard, wills back the urge to be sick as her stomach rolls, the panic that wants to grip her mind. There's too much blood to expect this poor soul to be saved, and yet she still has to try.
So she moves over to the body, once living and whole, reaches into the mess to try and find where his pulse should be. A futile effort met with its expected reward, fingers covered in red, tacky fluid. How could they not be, when so little of him is left in tact? She doesn't want to look, but part of her knows she has to. She needs to figure out who this is, except that when she does, it's completely wrong.
She's not supposed to meet Sam this way. They only run into each other at parties, where Cami makes jokes about ridiculous hats and gets him to dance even when neither of them really want to, just to tease him.
She sucks in a deep breath, although that almost makes it worse. That much blood carries with it a smell, metallic and sharp, and she can almost taste it for how strong it is. But she can't let herself falter now. Someone has done this, and with no event in progress, that someone remains a danger to everyone else in the mansion.]
[She stands up, takes a few steps away from the body. Her eyes keep a constant watch on the hall around her, even as she turns on the phone to send out a message--audio only. She won't subject anyone else to this sight if she can avoid it.]
Um. I'm sorry, but--there's been a murder on the fifth floor. [There can be no other word for it. This violence, this cruelty can be no accident.] I found the victim. Sam. It's Sam Winchester.
[God, what is she even saying? Cami, of all people, should be able to put these words together better.]
Please don't come up here unless you absolutely have to. I'm near room--[A pause, as she looks for the nearest door] Room thirteen. I don't know who did it; there wasn't anyone here when I found him, but someone did. So please, be careful.

same :D
Either way. She doesn't say anything until after Bigby offers the napkin. It only does so much, the blood on her fingers tacky now, but that doesn't stop Cami from trying to clean them off.]
I'm not sure what qualifies as safer. Whoever did this is still in the mansion. [Given the viciousness so evident in the scene, Cami doubts that the guilty party would be stopped by just a locked door.
But she knows they should at least try to do what they can, which is why she nods to Bigby's question.] There are people from his world here, although I haven't heard back from them yet. [Jo, and Dean; no doubt they would both reply when they got the message.] They--I don't want them to see him like this.
[Bad enough that she has, when they're just casual acquaintances. Someone who loves him as part of their family would be devastated to see this.]

You were friends? [ She guessed, voice gentle. ] I'm so sorry.
[ It was like when they'd found Faith's head on their doorstep. Or Lily's body. Or when she'd seen Colin's head on a pike at the Farm...
It was hard to forget. ]
no subject
He looked over at Snow and saw she was already comforting the young woman. He had missed that about her - she was so much better at some things than he was. After a few long moments, Bigby stood up.]
I can take care of bringing him someplace safe. Do you know where his room is?
no subject
We'd only met a couple of times. [Is it enough to call Sam her friend? Cami's unsure, even if she wants to think so.] We kept running into each other at parties: New Years, the Gala. He's closer to someone I work with; they're from the same world.
[Jo, who has already endured finding her bartenders dead on the floor of what is meant to be a place of comfort and safety. Cami doesn't want her to have another crime scene to so clearly etch into her memories. So when Bigby asks about Sam's room, she hesitates, then nods towards an open door across the hall.] I don't know for sure, but that door's been open since I got here, and no one's come out or anything.
