Daphne and Dean were standing in the woods.
“There. That’s where it happened” Daphne pointed at the lake. “I’m sorry, I’m not going any closer”
“I think we should” Dean alisema insensitive. He grabbed Daphne’s arm again and pulled her to the lake. “Now, tell me what happened”
“He drowned, that’s what happened!” Daphne yelled. “I was supposed to look after him, but I failed”
“That’s the story Zoey told you” Dean said. “Is there someone else who could tell wewe what happened?”
“No, of course not” Daphne alisema irritated. “Unless wewe count Martin, but he’s-”
“-dead?” Dean said. “Why would that change anything?”
“What are wewe talking about?” Daphne asked confused.
“Who’s to say your brother hasn’t been with wewe all this time. Maybe wewe were too upset to see the signs. Why don’t wewe try and call him? If he’s here he’ll let wewe know” Dean said.
“You want me to call my dead brother? That’s ridiculous” Daphne said. Dean cast her an angry glance. “Okay, fine” she gave in. She took a deep breath. “Martin? Are wewe here somewhere?”
An ice cold wind swirled around Daphne and she got goose, bata bukini bumps.
“Hello, Daphne”
Daphne gasped and covered her mouth. Martin was standing in front of her.
“Is it really you?” Daphne asked emotional.
Martin nodded.
“How come you’re…” Daphne wanted to ask, but didn’t know how.
“Normal?” Martin helped. “Dying changed a few things. But I’m still good looking”
Daphne laughed and Dean coughed.
“We need to ask wewe something” he said.
“I know what your swali is” Martin said. “It wasn’t an accident. Zoey drugged Daphne and her husband and she pulled me into the lake and drowned me”
Daphne shook her head in disbelief. “No” she said.
“I’m so sorry, Daphne” Martin alisema sad. “I wanted to tell wewe sooner, but I’m stuck to this place and wewe never come here”
Daphne took a few deep breaths and swallowed. She turned to Dean and blinked to fight the upcoming tears. “There’s an old, empty building, here in ngome Rock. Zoey and I used to go there when we were teenagers”
She gave him the address.
“Go find Cas” she said.
“You don’t want me to take wewe nyumbani first?” Dean asked doubtful.
“I know my way” Daphne said. “Go, I need some time with my brother”
And thus Dean called Anna to give him a ride.
“There. That’s where it happened” Daphne pointed at the lake. “I’m sorry, I’m not going any closer”

And thus Dean called Anna to give him a ride.
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.
