Meg stood behind a wall, lurking at Cas and Alexia through her field-glass. They were sitting on a terrace eating waffles and drinking milk-shake. Cas looked as if he was drinking heaven itself.
Meg wanted to go to him and explain why she had to run, but she couldn’t without telling him who he was. And she knew she was being watched. She had escaped Crowley’s demons, but it would only be a matter of time before they caught up with her. And if they did she had no chance of defending herself. She had been so stupid to leave the Angel knife at home.
As she was staring through the field-glass a white flash blinded her eyes. “Aahh” she growled as she looked away. She looked at Cas’s table. A few yards ahead, in an alley, Meg could see the glimpse of a young girl. The girl quickly walked away and Meg raced after her. However, when she was at the alley Cas blocked her.
She froze.
“Meg?” Cas said difficult. Alexia was holding his hand.
Meg swallowed and her heart beat painfully in her chest.
Cas recovered himself and took a few deep breaths. “What are you doing here?”
“Emmanuel, I know you’re upset with me, but I can explain” Meg started.
“You promised we would leave together” Cas said mad. “I trusted you”
“I know” Meg said. “And I meant what I said. I really wanted to leave with you. But something came up”
“Like what?” Cas asked uncaring.
“There are people looking for you” Meg started, looking around agitated. “They know we’re friends. They’ve been in my house and threatened me. They wanted me to lure you out, but I didn’t say anything, because I didn’t want you to get hurt. They took me with them, but I escaped”
Cas frowned. “So, you were trying to protect me?” he asked soft.
“Yes, I was” Meg confirmed.
“Well, we can go now” Cas said.
“No, we can’t” Meg said sad. “They know we’re friends. If they find me, they’ll think you’re with me. And so I have to stay as far away from you as possible” She took a deep breath. “I just came here to tell you that you’re being watched and it’s not the same dudes I’m talking about. It’s a girl”
Meg walked away and Cas watched her leave. Alexia pulled his sleeve. He looked down. “Uncle Emmanuel, I don’t think you can trust that lady”

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.
