One week later.
Whatever it was that had made Cas so ill, it looked like it was gone now. Anna had been right. He didn’t need their help. Still it had been terrifying for Sam and Dean to see their friend suffering like that and not being able to help.
But Cas’ condition had made Dean set a few things in motion. He and Sam had been to the city hall at night, when the place was empty, and Sam had broken into the computer to make some legal papers for Cas.
“This is your ID” Dean said when he handed the ID card to Cas. “Your last name is Novak. Hope you don’t mind”
Cas accepted the card. “Thank you, Dean”
“Now when you get sick again, we can take you to a hospital” Sam commented. Cas got up from the bed and rubbed his eyes. “How are you feeling?” Sam asked.
“Like rubber” Cas answered. “Have I been sleeping all week?” Dean nodded. “Did I talk in my sleep?” “No” Dean said. “But there was a moment when you woke up and you said that Meg didn’t have your blood in her system and that it was something else that had made you ill. Do you remember that?”
Cas shook his head and then frowned concerned. “Meg” he said worried. “Did you tell her I’m here? She might wonder where I am”
“Yeah, I told her” Dean lied. “But she didn’t really seem to care”
“What?” Cas said disappointed.
“I’m sorry, Cas, but she’s a demon. She doesn’t care for humans. You better forget her” Dean said insensitive.
“No” Cas replied determined. “I’m going to take a shower, because I smell. And then I’m going back to her”

Sam was waiting in line in a local snack bar. While he was waiting he watched the news, airing on a flat screen television, hanging on the ceiling.
“The thirty-five year old Zoey Allen has escaped the local hospital of Castle Rock, Colorado. Allen was brought into the hospital after she got stuck in a fire. Allen is extremely dangerous and wanted for several murders. She might be armed”
The news reader gave a number people could call if they had any kind of information.
Sam walked out of the snack bar and conjured his phone. He quickly dialed Dean’s number.
“Hello?”
“Dean, Zoey escaped” Sam said fast.
“What? I thought she was dead” Dean said disbelieving.
“Apparently not” Sam said. “Lock your door. Don’t let anyone in”
“I wasn’t going to” Dean said and Sam heard him lock the door.

The next morning
Cas opened the door of the house and helped Daphne inside. He guided her to the sitting room and put her gently down on the couch.
“You know, I’ve been thinking” Daphne said. “With you around I don’t need a car. Makes things a lot cheaper”
“Can I get you something?” Cas asked.
Daphne shook her head. “You’re here. That’s enough for now”
Cas wasn’t used to that much gratitude and he’d have to adjust to it.
“Actually” Daphne started. “Could you give me the phone? I need to call the locksmith to tell him I won’t be needing his services after all. I gave Zoey her key back”
Cas smiled weak. “I’m glad you made it up with each other”
