Meg took a few deep breaths in order to remain calm, before she rang the bell on Heather’s door. This time her co-worker was dressed when she opened the door.
“Don’t tell me your friend is sick again” she said as she let Meg in.
“Depends” Meg started vague. “He’s having a headache and he’s acting weird. Again. Still”
Heather shrugged. “Those are side effects. Every medicine has a side effect or two” she explained careless.
“What did you give him?” Meg asked.
“Does it matter?” Heather commented, avoiding Meg’s look.
“He threatened to kill me if I didn’t call you” Meg continued.
“Why’d you have to call me?” Heather asked curious.
“He says he needs another dose of whatever it was you gave him” Meg replied, still trying to stay calm. She had to restrain herself from approaching Heather and strangle her. Something Heather could see and a smile appeared on her face.
“And you think that if he wants a new dose, he’s going to have to sleep with me again” she said slowly.
“Cas can sleep with whoever he wants to” Meg responded, trying to sound casual. “I just want him to be careful…We’re…friends”
Heather scoffed. “Sure, sweetie, whatever gets you through the night”
“You’re not going to tell me what it was, are you?” Meg realized.
“No” Heather answered. “It’s best that you go now. If Cas is acting weird, you shouldn’t leave him alone too long”

“Gerard committed suicide last night” Zoey said. “I found him hanging in our bedroom”
Daphne covered her mouth. “Oh my God, that’s…awful” she said
Daphne threw her arms around Zoey and Zoey faked a few tears and sobs. She pushed Daphne away and said she had to tell Alexia. She put her purse on the dresser, knowing Daphne would see the letter and be too curious to leave it where it is.
And indeed, a minute later, Daphne stormed outside, hysterically crying how everything was her fault.
Zoey walked back inside, trusting Daphne would need some time to calm down. She opened Daphne’s computer and connected a portable hard drive to it. The hard drive contained a fake video of Cas doing things with Alexia.
Zoey copied the video to Daphne’s files and then removed the hard drive. She closed the computer and called Alexia.
“Let’s go, Lex” she said. “We’re going to your grandparents”

The next morning.
Zoey was talking with the mortician, while Alexia was watching cartoons. At least Zoey was under the impression Alexia was watching cartoons. Until her little girl let out a shriek.
“Mommy!”
Zoey, scared something had happened to Alexia, jumped up and ran into the sitting room. Alexia was staring at the screen.
“Lex, what’s going on? You almost gave mommy a heart attack” Zoey said and swallowed a few times to calm down.
“Mommy, come look” Alexia said breathless. “Uncle Emmanuel is on TV”
Zoey rushed to the television and increased the volume.
“Last night the police arrested a man named Castiel for the abuse of a four year old girl” the newsreader said.
“Alexia, go play outside” Zoey said trembling.
“Why do they call him Castiel, mommy? His name’s Emmanuel” Alexia said confused.
“Now!” Zoey yelled and Alexia ran outside.

The door of Meg’s motel room opened and Meg stared at the door way. She was still stuck under the Key of Solomon.
“Anna told me you were innocent for a change” Sam said.
“Well, now that you’ve discovered I’m actually a saint, could you get me out of here?” Meg suggested. Sam shook his head and walked towards her, though kept a safe distance. “First I want to set a few things straight. Castiel is not going to leave prison, unless you do something. Personally, I don’t care if you killed that man or not. What I do care about is that you’re the only one who can get him out of there” Sam said.
“Why would I help him? What’s in it for me?” Meg wanted to know.
“If you do the right thing, then I guarantee you Dean and I will never try to kill you again. You’ll be off our radar for good” Sam said.
That was a tempting offer. “What do you want me to do?” she asked.
