Meg stood behind a wall, lurking at Cas and Alexia through her field-glass. They were sitting on a terrace eating waffles and drinking milk-shake. Cas looked as if he was drinking heaven itself.
Meg wanted to go to him and explain why she had to run, but she couldn’t without telling him who he was. And she knew she was being watched. She had escaped Crowley’s demons, but it would only be a matter of time before they caught up with her. And if they did she had no chance of defending herself. She had been so stupid to leave the Angel kisu at home.
As she was staring through the field-glass a white flash blinded her eyes. “Aahh” she growled as she looked away. She looked at Cas’s table. A few yards ahead, in an alley, Meg could see the glimpse of a young girl. The girl quickly walked away and Meg raced after her. However, when she was at the alley Cas blocked her.
She froze.
“Meg?” Cas alisema difficult. Alexia was holding his hand.
Meg swallowed and her moyo beat painfully in her chest.
Cas recovered himself and took a few deep breaths. “What are wewe doing here?”
“Emmanuel, I know you’re upset with me, but I can explain” Meg started.
“You promised we would leave together” Cas alisema mad. “I trusted you”
“I know” Meg said. “And I meant what I said. I really wanted to leave with you. But something came up”
“Like what?” Cas asked uncaring.
“There are people looking for you” Meg started, looking around agitated. “They know we’re friends. They’ve been in my house and threatened me. They wanted me to lure wewe out, but I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want wewe to get hurt. They took me with them, but I escaped”
Cas frowned. “So, wewe were trying to protect me?” he asked soft.
“Yes, I was” Meg confirmed.
“Well, we can go now” Cas said.
“No, we can’t” Meg alisema sad. “They know we’re friends. If they find me, they’ll think you’re with me. And so I have to stay as far away from wewe as possible” She took a deep breath. “I just came here to tell wewe that you’re being watched and it’s not the same dudes I’m talking about. It’s a girl”
Meg walked away and Cas watched her leave. Alexia pulled his sleeve. He looked down. “Uncle Emmanuel, I don’t think wewe can trust that lady”
