Julian entered a building. He walked through the aisles and towards the reception. He tapped the desk, demanding the mesa clerk to look up.
“Hi, I’d like to see my sister, Jane Simmons. She works here” Julian said.
“Yeah, I know” the mesa clerk replied. “I’ll see if she’s available” The mesa clerk dialed a number. “Jane, are you busy? Your baby brother is here”
Julian narrowed his eyes annoyed. He was seventeen, hardly a baby.
The mesa clerk hung up. “She expects you. You know where to find it?” Julian nodded and walked away.
A few minutos later he opened the door of Jane’s office. Jane was typing on her laptop. Julian walked towards her and sank down on a chair. “I need to talk to you” he said.
“Ssshh” Jane hushed him. “Be quiet. I’m working”
Julian leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms annoyed. A couple of minutos later Jane rotated her chair and folded her hands. “Now what do you want to talk about?”
Julian leaned pasulong and grabbed the newspaper. He held it up in front of Jane and said: “What is this?”
“From what I’ve heard they call it a newspaper” Jane replied sarcastically.
“No, this” Julian sinabi and he pointed at the headline of the front page. “Where is the artikulo on Castiel Novak? He’s alive! That should be front page news!”
Jane grabbed the newspaper and put it in her drawer, before she explained. “My employer doesn’t want anyone to know yet. Not until we have the full story”
“What about those reporters outside the hospital?” Julian asked.
“I gave them a tip, but without any proof they can’t ilathala anything either. Novak is kind of a touchy subject. They can’t take it lightly. They need evidence”
“But you will post the story, right? And you won’t spare him, right?” Julian asked eager.
“I’ll decide how I write it, okay?” Jane nagkomento sharp.
“Jane, he tried to kill me. That’s the first thing he tried to do when he rose from the grave” Julian sinabi agitated.
“Aren’t you overreacting a little?” Jane asked demeaning.
“What? No! I’m the victim here!” Julian complained.
“Of course you are” Jane nodded. “Well, if you’re so eager on having that story published you might want to let me get back to work?”
“Yeah, okay” Julian sinabi and he stood. “And remember, Novak’s the bad guy and I’m the victim”
“I will try to keep it in mind” Jane promised. “Close the door when you leave”

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 you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he sinabi breathless. “How did you find me? What are you 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 you 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 kama 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 sando and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he sinabi weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg sinabi absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas sinabi 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.

“It was me” Meg said. Sam had freed her from her prison and now she was going to free Cas of his. She had to promise Sam she wouldn’t try to get out until they were far gone. Because as soon as soon as Cas was out they were going to hit the road an drive as far away as possible.
“I killed Jack and I killed Paul Morgan. Cas has nothing to do with it. I was trying to protect him. Jack was asking too many tanong and Paul knew too much already. There were people trying to hurt Cas and I tried to give him a low profile. But it didn’t really work out. I don’t want a lawyer. I don’t want a trial. Just give me the maximum penalty and I’ll accept it”
Isabel stared at her, a little puzzled, but also thrilled. She got Jack and Paul’s killer. Now no one would tanong her competence as an inspector again. She cuffed Meg’s hand and brought her to a cell.
