His hand hurt so much he couldn’t speak.
“Can I speak with you for a moment? Outside?” the female cop said. She grabbed his arm and pulled him outside. As soon as the door closed she let him go.
“For God’s sake, it’s your first day back. You really going to ruin it now? Control yourself” she hissed. “Did you hear what he said? He’s basically telling us that the poor woman had it coming” he snapped.
“I heard him, okay?” she said. Her face got a little softer. “Look, I know it’s hard, given the circumstances, but you have to keep it together”
“I know”
“How’s your hand?”
“I believe it’s broken”
“Hey, you know, that man in there?” she nodded at the door. “Rumor has it he can do all kinds of tricks with hands”
“Isabel? Has anyone ever told you you need to get a boyfriend?”
Isabel shot him an annoyed glance. “That’s not what I mean. Word has it he can heal people”
He widened his eyes. “That’s him? Wow, a healer with a violent character. How ironic” He stepped back in the room and Isobel followed him inside. Cas was still standing against the wall and the male cop walked towards her. “I hear you can fix people. I want you to fix my hand”
Cas touched the hand and it was healed. “I’m sorry about your wife” he said.
The man started struggling again, but Isabel pulled him back. “It was all over the news, Paul”
“And I’m sorry the real culprit was never caught” Cas said.
The door swung open right at the moment Paul wanted to punch Cas again. Paul lowered his arm and turned around.
“Detective Morgan? We need you in hearing room 2”
Paul nodded and walked outside. While the door was open an officer walked by, while he was holding a woman by her arm. Cas looked up the same moment the woman did. Cas frowned, not knowing why she was here and Meg waved and winked as she passed by.

The waitress walked through the back door. She was taking a break. She felt two eyes on her and looked aside.
Cas was staring at her.
“Hi” she said. She walked to him. “You were acting strange earlier”
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled. “You remind me of someone”
“Your girlfriend?” the waitress guessed.
Cas shook his head. “She wasn’t my girlfriend. She was my…”
“Sex buddy” the waitress helped. “I’m Lucy”
“I’m Cas” Cas said.
“Cas?” Lucy said intrigued. “That’s an uncommon name” She came closer to him and took his collar. She dragged him into one of the toilets and locked the door. She threw her arms around his neck and jumped in his arms. She kissed him and Cas forced her against the wall.
“Aaaahhh!” she exclaimed. She pushed Cas away and looked at him terrified.
“I’m sorry” Cas mumbled concerned.
“It’s okay” Lucy said, but Cas unlocked the door and ran away.

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”

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.
