The next morning.
Cas woke up on the couch of Meg’s motel. He slowly sat up and rubbed his eyes. Light shone through the curtains and Cas stood up and walked to them to open them. Dean’s Impala was parked across the street.
Meg ticked on the side windows of Dean’s car and Dean jumped up. He frowned and blinked to remember where he was. When he did, he turned the window down.
“What are you doing here so early?” Meg asked.
“What’s in the bag?” Dean nodded at the small paper bag Meg was holding in her right hand.
“Breakfast” Meg replied short.
“Thanks, you shouldn’t have” Dean said and he jerked the bag out of her hands. As a human Dean was a lot quicker than Meg and all she could do was look offended as Dean crammed the pastry in his mouth.
“Cud you tull Cas to huwwy a lil?” Dean mumbled inaudible.
“Come again?” Meg asked with raised eyebrows.
Dean swallowed. “Could you tell Cas to hurry a little?” he repeated his question. “I told him I was going to take him shooting today”
“Alright, just wait here” Meg replied and she walked to the motel. She entered, but didn’t see Cas anywhere. Then she heard the shower. She walked to the bathroom, closed her eyes and walked inside.
“Hi, Meg” Cas greeted her. “Why are your eyes closed?” he frowned.
“Because you’re naked” Meg explained. “Grab a towel and wind it around your waist, please”
Cas did what she asked him to.
“You decent?” Meg checked. Cas nodded, forgetting Meg couldn’t see him. “Cas?”
“You can open your eyes” Cas said quickly.
Meg opened her eyes and averted her head.
“What’s wrong?” Cas wondered.
“Eh…Dean’s waiting for you” Meg avoided his question.
“Yeah, he’s going to teach me how to use a gun” Cas said.
“Have fun” Meg replied sarcastic. “Don’t be early”
“What are you going to do?” Cas asked.
“I’m not telling you” Meg answered. “Now, hurry up. Get dressed, before Dean thinks I’m trying to drown you in the shower”
Cas started to unfold the towel and Meg turned around and quickly left the bathroom.

The jury had made a decision and woman walked to the judge and gave him a piece of paper.
“To the question if Castiel abused Alexia Moore the jury finds him not guilty” the judge said.
“Yes!” Dean triumphed. He jumped up and walked quickly towards Cas.
Zoey took Alexia by the hand and walked down the aisle.
“Zoey, wait!” Daphne shouted desperate.
Zoey turned around.”Do you have any idea what you put me through? What you put Alex through? After everything I’ve done for you. Gerard killed himself, because of you! How many lives do you have to destroy, before you realize you’re the one who needs to be put away in a cell?”
Daphne grabbed Zoey’s arm. “Please, listen to me. I never meant to hurt you or Alex. I thought I was helping. Tell me how I can make it up”
Zoey jerked her arm. “Stay away from me and Alex. And if you even care a little about Cas, you stay away from him, too”
She turned around and walked away.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were acting strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy said intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

Night fell and Meg was playing with her phone. She had gotten so used to the sound of wings, she didn’t bother to look up when Balthazar and Anna appeared.
“We just heard Castiel’s trial’s tomorrow, which is very unusual” Balthazar said. “Whatever Crowley’s up to, it’ll happen tomorrow”
Meg shrugged. Why did everyone expect her to care?
“That means you’ll have to be prepared” Anna said sharp.
Meg stopped playing games with her phone.
“We’re getting you out tonight” Anna said.
Meg looked up, happy as a child. “Finally” she said.
Balthazar conjured his sword, but then a bright light shone from somewhere ahead of them.
“Oh no” Meg said. “Oh no no no no no no!”
That didn’t exactly help, because an instant later both Balthazar and Anna were gone.
Meg sunk to the bottom of her cell.
“Great” she said grumpy. “Juuuust great”
