It was visiting hour in prison and a guard told Cas someone wanted to see him. Cas expected to see Dean or Sam, but when he entered the visitors room it was Zoey who waved at him discreetly.
The guard brought him to the table and then withdrew himself. Cas sat down.
“Hi, Emmanuel” Zoey said full of compassion. “I’m sorry. Castiel, right? Daphne told me you found out who you are. How do you like your new old life?”
Cas looked around him, then back at Zoey and let his shoulders hang.
“I’m sorry. That was a stupid question” Zoey said.
“What are you doing here?” Cas wondered. “Why aren’t you with your family? With Alex? Does she know this is all about her?”
Zoey shook her head. “I didn’t tell her. She’s with my parents”
“Why not with her father?” Cas frowned.
Zoey realized her former brother-in-law didn’t know about Gerard yet.
“Gerard committed suicide” she said quickly.
“I’m very sorry to hear that” Cas said.
“Thank you” Zoey sobbed. She swallowed. “I know someone’s trying to set you up and they’re using my little girl to do it. And I know Daphne sent that DVD to the cops, she told me. I don’t know if she’s trying to hurt you or if she really believes you hurt Alex, but I’m done with her. When I first saw you with her I thought I had to protect her from you. Turns out it’s the other way around”
Cas didn’t know what to say as he realized Zoey was saying sorry for all the times she had been mean to him. She took his hand.
“I promise you I will get you out of here”
