“So, bạn 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 đã đưa ý kiến as he gripped Luke’s shoulder. “We got that monster” Barnes made an uncharacteristic di chuyển 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 bạn 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 một giây time that day.
“That I didn’t deserve” Cas đã đưa ý kiến while he rubbed his cheek.
“Cas?” Meg asked unsure.
Cas’ eyes bulged and Meg covered her mouth. “I thought bạn 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 phút Meg braced. “What?” Cas asked nervous.
“How are bạn feeling? Do bạn 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 bạn through. I will return to the thiên thần and I will accept their punishment. But first I need to get bạn 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 tiếp theo 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. bạn can check if bạn want to”
Meg crouched and checked Luke’s wrist. “He’s alive” she sighed relieved. She stood. “I’m sorry’ she mumbled.
“No, bạn have every right to doubt me. bạn 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, bạn 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 bạn hadn’t busted us out of jail, we’d be dead, too. bạn didn’t kill anyone, but bạn saved two people”
Cas swallowed and then nodded. “Okay” he đã đưa ý kiến hoarse.
