Jack was putting on his coat when his phone buzzed. He took him out of his pocket and smirked when Zoey’s name appeared on the screen.
“Miss Allen, I’m just finishing up here and then I’m going straight home, so that drink you’re dying to have with me, it’s going to have to wait”
“Check her facebook profile” Zoey said.
“What?” Jack asked distracted.
“She posted some pictures of her and Emmanuel on her facebook page” Zoey explained. “You can cut her out of it and scan the photo. See what you come up with”
Silence.
“Are you still there?” she asked slowly.
“Yeah, eh, let me call my wife” Jack said. “I’ll call you back in a sec”
“Sure” Zoey said. She knew about his wife. It was one of the many reasons why Jack and her didn’t work out.
While she was waiting for Jack to call her back, she peeked at Daphne and Cas. Daphne had prepared spaghetti and was eating it with a fork and a spoon, but Cas totally ignored these means and ate with his fingers.
Her phone rang and she jumped up.
“Hello?” she said.
“You are not going to believe this” Jack said.
“Why? What did you find?” she asked agitated and curious.
“Nothing!” Jack exclaimed. “There is nothing I can find about him. No birth registration, no background, no name. It’s like this guy doesn’t exist”
“That doesn’t sound good” Zoey said. “Now what?”
“Here’s what I can do. I can send this picture to as many people as possible. Maybe one of them recognizes him and can tell us more” he offered.
“Yeah, I’ll do the same” Zoey said. “And Jack? Thank you”
“Don’t mention it” Jack said, before hanging up.

Meg read the book as if it was a detective and she wanted to know who the killer was. Daphne’s life had been a roller coaster due to her illness. But everyone knew Daphne was crazy, including Cas’ attorney. So she kept looking for something different.
When she was near the end she discovered something strange. She flipped a few pages, when a piece of paper fell out of the book. Meg picked it up and opened it. She read the letter and compared the handwriting with the one in the book.
She threw the book on the floor and conjured her phone.
No signal, it said
“Damn it!” she cursed.
She carefully stretch her arm, but the Key of Solomon was still working perfectly.
She looked at the hard stone floor and stamped on it, causing part of the floor to break. Meg grabbed a piece of the floor and threw it at the ceiling.
The Key of Solomon broke and Meg kicked her cell open.

Meg opened the door of a motel room and helped Cas inside. She guided him to the single bed 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 shirt and dabbed his wounds with the towel.
Cas groaned from pain.
“You don’t have to do this” he said weak. “I will heal eventually”
“I know” Meg said absent-minded. She stared at Cas’ body. Even with all the cuts he still looked…jumpable.
“But thanks for the gesture” Cas said 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.

Cas kicked the door of their bedroom open. Daphne was sitting on top of Mitch.
“Daphne” Mitch said, looking at Cas.
“Don’t worry” Daphne said with a heavy voice. “That’s my husband. He knows I have my needs. It’s not my fault he’s incompetent”
Mitch pushed her off of him and searched for his clothes. Cas turned around and ran downstairs.
“What are you doing?” Daphne asked grumpy. “Come back in bed”
“Are you completely out of your mind?” Mitch exclaimed.
“Oh, please, you knew I was married” Daphne said.
“That was really low” Mitch said. “Get dressed. I’m done here. You go find someone else to consider your needs”
“Come on, don’t be like that” Daphne said.
They heard an enormous crack and they jumped.
“What the hell was that?” Mitch asked.
“Daphne” Mitch said, looking at Cas.
