“So, wewe have absolutely no idea where Castiel Novak is?” Luke asked.
Cas looked around. He’d been here before, when Isabel and inspector morgan had interrogated him about Shannen White’s murder.
“Earth to Dean” Luke snapped his fingers. Cas looked at the fingers.
“Where is Meg?” he asked softly. It was the only thing he cared about.
“Miss Masters is in for custody” Luke replied. “There’s a fair chance she won’t come out until court. If there’s going to be one. Same goes for your friend, as soon as they find him” Luke hadn’t been informed yet, but that was only a matter of minutes.
The door opened and chief Barnes appeared in the doorway. A visit from the boss. This was unusual. Barnes signaled and Luke walked towards him.
“We got him” he alisema as he gripped Luke’s shoulder. “We got that monster” Barnes made an uncharacteristic songesha and pulled Luke closer. When he let go Luke pointed behind him.
“What about him?” he referred to ‘Dean’. “He claims he was with his brother during all killings”
“Check his alibi. If he’s speaking the truth there’s no reason to keep him here” Barnes replied. He turned around to leave when they heard a thump. They turned around again and saw Cas lying on the floor. His chair had capsized somehow.
“Dean?” Luke called, walking to Cas’ still body. For a moment Cas seemed to be death. Then his eyes opened wide and he gasped for breath. “Are wewe alright?”
Dean blinked his eyes a few times. He looked at his hands. They were his own. He was back in his body, which meant Cas was now locked behind bars. It took Dean a moment to comprehend what had happened the past few days, but it was too confusing.
In another department of the police station Meg was sitting in a cell. She heard footsteps and she assumed it was a cop. Her surprise was enormous when she saw Cas walking around the corner. He hurried towards her and put a key in the lock. He swung the cell door open and pulled Meg up. He pulled her towards him and kissed her. When he let go Meg slapped him the sekunde time that day.
“That I didn’t deserve” Cas alisema while he rubbed his cheek.
“Cas?” Meg asked unsure.
Cas’ eyes bulged and Meg covered her mouth. “I thought wewe were Dean” she squeaked. “I’m sorry” she apologized.
“It’s fine” Cas said. “But we have to go now” He dragged her along, but after a few dakika Meg braced. “What?” Cas asked nervous.
“How are wewe feeling? Do wewe still want to kill people?” Meg asked, jerking her hand and backing away.
Cas nodded, but not in a confirmation. “I still have my powers” he confessed. “But I don’t want to kill anyone. What I did is…unforgivable and my only excuse is that…I got so used to being human that when I regained my powers I couldn’t control them. And I didn’t want to. I wanted to take revenge on those people and my powers helped me accomplish that. But I loathe myself for the pain I put wewe through. I will return to the angels and I will accept their punishment. But first I need to get wewe and Dean out of here”
Meg wasn’t sure she believed, but since she was short of options she decided to take the chance. Cas took Meg’s hand and they took flight. They appeared inayofuata to Dean who jumped up. Barnes and Luke were lying on the floor.
“They collapsed” Dean explained. “All of a sudden” He looked up at Cas as if the answer was written on his face.
“I had to do something” Cas simply answered. Meg frowned, assuming the worst. “No, they’re not dead” Cas quickly added. “They’re just sleeping. wewe can check if wewe want to”
Meg crouched and checked Luke’s wrist. “He’s alive” she sighed relieved. She stood. “I’m sorry’ she mumbled.
“No, wewe have every right to doubt me. wewe should doubt me” Cas replied sharp. “Now, let’s go, before they wake up”
He flew them a few miles from the police station when they heard an explosion.
“What was that?” Cas yelled panicking.
“Explosion” Dean responded.
“The police station” Meg added breathless.
“I have to go back” Cas mumbled in shock and he already started walking back.
“No!” Meg called and she ran to him, blocking his way.
“Meg, those people are dead, because of me. I made them fall asleep. They had no time to run” Cas cried passionately.
“They wouldn’t have had time anyway” Meg pointed out. “We just got lucky”
“I promised I wouldn’t get anyone else killed” Cas exclaimed defeated.
Dean grabbed Cas’ shoulders and shook him. “Here’s the thing, buddy, wewe did not kill them. Maybe there was a gas leak, I don’t know, but it wasn’t your fault. Meg and I owe our lives to you. If wewe hadn’t busted us out of jail, we’d be dead, too. wewe didn’t kill anyone, but wewe saved two people”
Cas swallowed and then nodded. “Okay” he alisema hoarse.

The inayofuata morning.
Cas was sitting in the court room. The judge had sat down and ordered everyone to follow his example.
“The defendant may stand up”
Craig poked Cas to let him know he had to stand up.
“Castiel, you’ve been accused of pedophilia of the four mwaka old Alexia Moore” the judge said.
“I didn’t do it” Cas alisema desperate. He searched the room to find Sam and Dean. They were in the back. Jo wasn’t there. Cas didn’t blame her. They didn’t know each other that well.
“There’s enough damning material to believe the opposite” Daphne’s attorney said.
That maoni caused mixed reactions. On one side there were those people who believed Cas was guilty as charged and who wanted him convicted. On the other side there were those who thought he was innocent and they were not pleased with the words of the attorney.
“Silence” the judge alisema and he knocked with his hammer.
“Your honor, if wewe allow me, I’d like to summon my first witness”

The inayofuata morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? wewe almost gave mommy a moyo attack” Zoey alisema and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia alisema breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the televisheni and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four mwaka old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey alisema trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia alisema confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

Dean was outside, leaning against the cabin, when Jo came standing inayofuata to him.
“You look happy” she alisema sarcastic.
“It sounds weird, but right now I wish Dick Roman was still alive” Dean said. “I have too much time to think”
“You want me to call mom? I think she knows a few ways to fix that” Jo commented.
“Where is she?” Dean asked.
“To the city, doing groceries” Jo answered. She looked up. “Did wewe hear from Cas? I mean, that’s why you’re so neurotic, right?”
Dean shook his head. “I don’t want to talk about it. He’s had his chance, he blew it. I’m done with him”
“Have wewe tried talking to him?” Jo asked.
Dean leaned mbele and kissed her. “No talking about Cas” he said.
“Okay” Jo agreed. She threw her arms around Dean’s neck and kissed him back. Dean lifted her in his arms and carried her inside the cabin.

Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t wewe hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t wewe recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he alisema breathless. “How did wewe find me? What are wewe doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need wewe to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single kitanda and put him down. She gently pushed him down and he opened his eyes a little. She walked to the bathroom and dampened a towel.
She walked back into the room and sank down on the bed. Unlike Meg’s Cas’ clothes hadn’t been restored. Meg opened the ruined and bloodstained hospital shati and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he alisema weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg alisema absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas alisema with a weak smile.
Meg continued nursing his injuries. “You know” she said. “If I was still human, I’d fall for you”
Cas gave her another weak smile, before he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
