Two hours later Daphne was baking cookies, while Cas was staring at the screen of Daphne’s laptop.
“How do I turn it on?” he asked careful; Zoey was in the room. She walked towards him and pointed at the start button. “This button” she said polite. She was still shaking from Cas’ last move. She’d had no idea he could be that strong.
“Thank you” Cas said. He looked up with puppy eyes. “Is your shoulder still hurting?”
“I’ll live” Zoey said soft.
“It was not my intention to cause you pain. My first priority was protecting Daphne” Cas explained.
Zoey raised her hand. “Yeah, I totally get it. It seems our priorities are similar to one another” She stuck out her hand. “Truce?”
Cas frowned and Zoey did her best not sigh irritated. She grabbed his hand and shook it. “It means we’ll try not to fight anymore. For Daphne” she explained.
“For Daphne” Cas repeated.
Daphne turned around and her eyes were wet. “You guys are so sweet” she sniffed. “I knew you’d come around, Zoey”
“I’ll try my best” Zoey promised. She looked at Cas. “But you have to try and find out everything you can about your life”
Cas nodded quickly. “That goes without saying”
“Good. Are you done with those cookies?” Zoey asked.
“Yep, we’re all set” Daphne said. “You coming?” she asked Cas.
“Where are we going?” Cas informed.
“To the orphanage. These are for the children” Daphne said. “Hey, maybe we can take some of those muffins, too, in case we run short of cookies”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea” Cas said. “But I think I’m going to stay here”
“Why?” Daphne asked disappointed.
“Well, we don’t have to be together all the time, do we?” Cas said careful.
“No, of course not” Daphne said and the temperature in the room seemed to have dropped a degree.
“Maybe you should spend some time with your sister. I’m sure Zoey would like to be alone with you for a change” Cas said.
A smile appeared so fast on Daphne’s face that it was almost creepy.
“You are so considerate” she said, caressing his cheek. “That’s one of the many reasons why I love you” She kissed him on the cheek. Then she turned around. Zoey had already added some muffins with the cookies and she was closing the box. She picked it up and followed Daphne outside.

Gerard got home from his work. He hung his coat on the rack and walked into the sitting room. He saw Zoey sitting in the couch, writing something.
“Eh, what are you doing here?” he asked and Zoey looked up.
“I’m writing a goodbye letter” Zoey smiled.
“For me?” Gerard asked cynical. Zoey stood up and walked to her ex-husband.
“No, not for you” she shook her head. “From you” She touched his forehead with her index and middle finger and Gerard fell unconscious.
As if he was a feather she carried him upstairs and put him on a chair. She took the rope which she had kept in the room as a preparation and winded it tightly around Gerard’s neck. The other end she tied to the chandelier. She pulled the chair away and a second later she heard a snap.

The first witness was the mother of the seven year old boy Cas had healed from a life threatening fever.
“I went to the kitchen and when I came back Mr. Allen, as he presented himself, had his hands all over my son. I…I think he was taking advantage of my son’s weakness”
“Objection!” Craig said. “I think everyone in Castle Rock knows about my client’s special abilities? Castiel can heal people with his bare hands, which is why Mrs. Jones had him come over in the first place. But to do his job he needs to touch his patient. He doesn’t even charge them”
“Of course he wouldn’t” Evan Trumble, Daphne’s attorney, said. “That’s because he knows that what he’s doing is wrong”
While Craig and Evan where quibbling, Cas looked sharp at Mrs. Jones.
“I never touched your son and you know it. I saved your son and this is not the right way to thank me”
Mrs. Jones seemed to cringe and looked around to find support or a way out.

Sam and Cas were at a motel in Colombia Falls, while Dean and Jo were outside. They were in front of the car and Dean had opened the hood. He was maintaining the Impala while Jo watched him.
“Can I help?” Jo offered.
“No” Dean said sharp. Jo gave him a strange look. “Not because you’re a girl. I’m sure you know how to fix a car. It’s personal, really”
“I get it” Jo said. “This is your baby. It’s hard to let go”
“Exactly” Dean said, glad Jo got the picture so quickly. He wiped his hands off a cloth and shut the hood. “I think we’re done here” He turned around. “Let’s get those two monkeys on their feet. We’re leaving town”
It happened in a flash. One moment Dean was standing on his two feet, the next he crashed against the car and fell on the ground.
“Dean!” Jo exclaimed. She bent on her knees and noticed blood coming out of his side.
“Can I help?” Jo offered.
“No” Dean said sharp. Jo gave him a strange look. “Not because you’re a girl. I’m sure you know how to fix a car. It’s personal, really”

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.
“Anna told me you were innocent for a change” Sam said.
