The door opened again and Sam and Claire walked in.
“Nice color” Sam mumbled, referring to Meg’s hair.
“Gee, thanks” Meg said monotone. She looked at Claire, who looked back provocative. With two Winchesters at her arm she felt a lot more confident. “When’s your dad coming?”
“Meg!” Dean reproached her. Meg pulled her shoulders. Dean conjured his phone and handed it to Claire. “You should call your mom, tell her you’re fine”
Claire dialed her home number. Her mother sounded very agitated when she answered the phone.
“Who is this?” she asked a little snappy as she didn’t recognize the caller.
“Mom?” Claire asked insecure. She heard her mother let out a deep sigh of relief.
“Thank God, it’s you” Amelia said. “Is everything okay with you?”
“I’m fine” Claire replied.
“Okay, I’m going to pick you up” Amelia continued.
“No, Sam and Dean will give me a ride home” Claire said, trying to save her mother the trouble.
“Sam and Dean are with you? Did they hurt you?” Amelia asked nervous.
“No, mom, they saved me” Claire reassured her.
“Can I get one of them on the phone?” Amelia requested and a second later she was talking to Sam. “I lied, okay?” she cut to the chase. “I did see Jimmy, but after Meg’s threats he disappeared and I have no idea where he is now. There’s something wrong with him. He’s sick or something. He’s not himself… I think I need your help. But first I have to find him”
The door of the motel room opened for the third time that night and Jimmy appeared in the doorway.
“I don’t think that’s going to be a problem, Amelia” Sam said slow. “He’s right here” He heard Amelia hang up and assumed she was on her way.
“Dad?” Claire asked careful. Jimmy turned his head to her and cast her a glance that could’ve turned her into ice if such thing were possible. “You’re not my dad” Claire concluded shivering.
“Cas?” Meg asked hopeful. The man nodded and Meg walked to him. She shut the door and took Cas’ hands in hers. “You’re freezing” she gasped.
“How did you regain control?” Dean wanted to know.
“That doesn’t matter” Meg reproached Dean.
“What happened to Jimmy?” Dean ignored Meg.
“Shut up, Dean, we can do this tomorrow” Meg snapped, but Cas jerked his hands. He walked to Dean and Sam and looked from one brother to the other.
“You know what they say. Two’s a party” Cas said slow and dark. “Three’s a crowd”
