The two brothers collected a sample of dead man's blood. Once a vampire was contaminated with dead man's blood, it would briefly lose its strength and become an ordinary person.
In truth, it was like a person getting food poisoning after eating spoiled food.
They then gathered maps marking nearby cases of disappearances, assaults involving blood-draining, injuries, and other incidents. They plotted a trail and began tracking it.
With the experienced demon hunter John helping them, they quickly captured a female vampire. After some "friendly" conversation, the vampire, who had been fed dead man's blood, soon spilled the information. It turned out that she had taken the gun and delivered it to the vampire leader.
The news was quickly passed along.
The two groups met in the woods. Using the female vampire as leverage, the Winchester trio demanded an exchange for the Demon-Slaying Gun.
