“Mr. Allen! Open the door now before I bust it!”
Cas recognized Isabel’ voice and frowned. What was she doing here? He poked Meg, to wake her up. “Meg. I think inspector Roberts is here” he said quiet.
Meg sat up. “What have you done now? I thought we left all that Colorado crap, well, in Colorado” she said. She put on her dressing gown and walked to the door.
“Who the hell are you?” she said disdaining.
Isabel showed her badge and looked how Cas got dressed.
“I will be right there, inspector Roberts” Cas said.
Isabel wrote something on a paper and gave it to inspector Williams, while looking sharp at Meg. Cas joined them.
“What can I do for you, inspector?” he asked polite, but nervous. He wondered what they were going to accuse him of now.
“Good morning, Mr. Allen” Isabel said cold. “Or should I say Castiel?”
Cas’ face stiffened and he frowned. “How do you know my real name?”
“That’s not important” Isabel said quick. “Do you remember the inspector who asked you a few questions on the day Daphne Allen found you at the lake?” Cas nodded. “Well, guess what, he’s dead and the funny thing is that he died on the same day he met you, according to the autopsy”
“Maybe he had an accident” Cas suggested.
“Yeah, he accidentally chopped off his own head. Didn’t think so” Isabel said.
“I was with Daphne, she can confirm that” Cas said. He knew where this was going.
“I’m sorry, but Mrs. Allen is suffering from a mental illness. We don’t exactly see her as a reliable alibi” Isabel said. She conjured her cuffs. “I’m going to have to take you with me for some questions”
“All the way back to Colorado?” Meg exclaimed.
“No, he’ll stay in town” Isabel said. She gave Meg another sharp look. “I suggest you do the same”
She cuffed Cas’ hands and pulled him along.

Cas beached on the street, far away from Rufus’ cabin. He wasn’t sure how to feel. He was angry, because Dean wouldn’t listen to him. Dean always thought he knew everything better. He was disappointed, because Dean had no faith in him at all.
He was so up in thought that he didn’t hear his name. But maybe that was because she didn’t use his real name.
“Emmanuel!”
Someone grabbed his arm and forced him to turn around. He looked at the woman. She looked familiar.
“Didn’t you hear me?” the woman asked. Cas stared at her. “Don’t you recognize me? It’s me, Daphne, your wife?”
Cas widened his eyes as he remembered her.
“Daphne” he said breathless. “How did you find me? What are you doing here?”
“Well, I hired a detective, I needed to find you” Daphne said. She searched in her pockets and conjured a big brown envelope. “I need you to sign these”
“What is it?” Cas frowned.
“A petition for annulment” Daphne answered.
