Amelia walked to the living room where the phone was. She picked it up and called her daughter’s cell. When Claire didn’t pick up, she left a message.
“Claire, when you get this, please call me back. I’m not angry with you for taking the car without asking. I’m just really worried”
She tried to think of something else to say, but couldn’t come up with anything and so she hung up. She walked to the kitchen. Jimmy had requested some tea and she was going to make some.
When it was ready she poured the tea in a cup and carried it upstairs. She opened the door and walked inside their bedroom.
“Here’s your tea” she smiled weak as she walked to the bed. “I’ll just put it here. It’s still very hot”
“I’ll take my chance” Jimmy commented and he took the cup in his hand.
“Careful” Amelia said concerned.
Jimmy blew in his tea and then took a sip. He frowned and looked up.
“Something wrong, sweetie?” Amelia asked with a small voice.
“Didn’t I specifically ask for oolong tea?” Jimmy asked. Amelia nodded. “Then why do you bring me green tea?” he yelled as he threw the cup of tea at his wife. Amelia jumped aside and the cup scarcely missed her.
“I’m sorry” she moaned, at the brink of tears. “We don’t have any oolong tea. I didn’t think you’d be able to tell the difference”
As she saw Jimmy step out of bed she backed away.
“Why?” Jimmy snapped and he grabbed her by her hair. “Because I’m stupid? You’re the one who’s stupid” He pushed her on the floor. “You clean that up”
Amelia, shaking over her entire body, started collecting the fragments, trying not to burst into tears, for she knew that would only make him angrier.
“Maybe I can go to the store, see if they have oolong tea” she suggested, in an attempt to make up for her mistake.
Jimmy, who had returned to bed, looked up. “What?” he asked confused. “No, don’t bother, dear. I’m good”
Amelia stood and walked to the door. “I’ll see if I can reach Claire” she mumbled and she staggered outside.

“It was me” Meg said. Sam had freed her from her prison and now she was going to free Cas of his. She had to promise Sam she wouldn’t try to get out until they were far gone. Because as soon as soon as Cas was out they were going to hit the road an drive as far away as possible.
“I killed Jack and I killed Paul Morgan. Cas has nothing to do with it. I was trying to protect him. Jack was asking too many questions and Paul knew too much already. There were people trying to hurt Cas and I tried to give him a low profile. But it didn’t really work out. I don’t want a lawyer. I don’t want a trial. Just give me the maximum penalty and I’ll accept it”
Isabel stared at her, a little puzzled, but also thrilled. She got Jack and Paul’s killer. Now no one would question her competence as an inspector again. She cuffed Meg’s hand and brought her to a cell.

The next morning.
Jo woke up, because someone was banging the door.
“Mr. Allen? Open the door!” a female voice said.
Jo stumbled out of bed and wiped her eyes. She walked to the door and opened it. There were two inspectors, a man and a woman.
“Good morning, miss. I’m inspector Roberts, this is my colleague inspector Williams” Isabel said, showing her badge. “We need to talk to Emmanuel Allen. We were told we could find him here”
Jo frowned and shook her head. “I don’t know anyone with that name. You have the wrong house”
Inspector Williams searched in his bag and conjured a picture. “Maybe this might help you?” he said. Jo’s eyes widened and she took the picture. “I know him” she admitted. “But his name’s not Emmanuel. It’s Castiel”
