Meg opened the door of her room and saw Dean sitting where she had expected Claire to sit. “What are you doing here?” she asked, acting calm. “And where’s Claire?”
“Oh, she’s with Sam” Dean replied. “She’s fine, by the way, no thanks to you” He got up and walked to Meg. “Seriously, Meg, what were you thinking?”
“Hey, for the record, this was her idea” Meg defended herself. “She said I should tell her mother I’m keeping her hostage in exchange for Jimmy and I just figured it would be a lot more convincing if I’d do it for real”
Dean shook his head, furious. “You finally have my trust” he said. “But you’re really close to losing it again”
“Like I care about your trust!” Meg exclaimed. “All I want is for Cas to come back and anything else doesn’t matter”
“And I want him to come back too, but we’re not going to kill anyone for that” Dean fired back.
“Really?” Meg scoffed. “And what do you think is going to happen when Jimmy gets here? What, you’re going to ask him nicely if he wants to get the fuck out of his own body, so Cas can get his life back? I don’t want to be a buzzkill, but I would say that’s a long shot”
“We’ll find a way” Dean replied sharp.
“I know a way” Meg said stubborn. “Jimmy has to die”

Since there was no way any of them was going to get any sleep, they packed their bags and loaded the Impala. Dean placed himself behind the wheel, Sam sat next to him and Meg on the backseat.
“First stop: Pontiac, Illinois” Dean said, as he started the engines and drove ahead. As they drove Dean turned on the radio to break the silence.
Meg stared out of the window. She felt utterly powerless. Had she still been a demon she would’ve just zapped herself to him. But then maybe she wouldn’t have felt this way and she wouldn’t even bother to go find him.
Maybe this was a sign. Maybe she was supposed to let go and go back to her old life.
No!, she reproached herself. You’re not going back to killing for fun. You didn’t get this far to throw it all away. You’re going to find Cas and get him back.
“Everything okay, there?” Dean asked.
“Yeah, I’m good” Meg replied with a mischievous smile.
