The door opened again and Sam and Claire walked in.
“Nice color” Sam mumbled, referring to Meg’s hair.
“Gee, thanks” Meg said monotone. She looked at Claire, who looked back provocative. With two Winchesters at her arm she felt a lot more confident. “When’s your dad coming?”
“Meg!” Dean reproached her. Meg pulled her shoulders. Dean conjured his phone and handed it to Claire. “You should call your mom, tell her you’re fine”
Claire dialed her home number. Her mother sounded very agitated when she answered the phone.
“Who is this?” she asked a little snappy as she didn’t recognize the caller.
“Mom?” Claire asked insecure. She heard her mother let out a deep sigh of relief.
“Thank God, it’s you” Amelia said. “Is everything okay with you?”
“I’m fine” Claire replied.
“Okay, I’m going to pick you up” Amelia continued.
“No, Sam and Dean will give me a ride home” Claire said, trying to save her mother the trouble.
“Sam and Dean are with you? Did they hurt you?” Amelia asked nervous.
“No, mom, they saved me” Claire reassured her.
“Can I get one of them on the phone?” Amelia requested and a second later she was talking to Sam. “I lied, okay?” she cut to the chase. “I did see Jimmy, but after Meg’s threats he disappeared and I have no idea where he is now. There’s something wrong with him. He’s sick or something. He’s not himself… I think I need your help. But first I have to find him”
The door of the motel room opened for the third time that night and Jimmy appeared in the doorway.
“I don’t think that’s going to be a problem, Amelia” Sam said slow. “He’s right here” He heard Amelia hang up and assumed she was on her way.
“Dad?” Claire asked careful. Jimmy turned his head to her and cast her a glance that could’ve turned her into ice if such thing were possible. “You’re not my dad” Claire concluded shivering.
“Cas?” Meg asked hopeful. The man nodded and Meg walked to him. She shut the door and took Cas’ hands in hers. “You’re freezing” she gasped.
“How did you regain control?” Dean wanted to know.
“That doesn’t matter” Meg reproached Dean.
“What happened to Jimmy?” Dean ignored Meg.
“Shut up, Dean, we can do this tomorrow” Meg snapped, but Cas jerked his hands. He walked to Dean and Sam and looked from one brother to the other.
“You know what they say. Two’s a party” Cas said slow and dark. “Three’s a crowd”
“Nice color” Sam mumbled, referring to Meg’s hair.

Tyler woke up and found himself chained onto a chair. “What the hell?”
“Oh, no, not hell. Heaven. That’s where you’ll soon be” a voice said. A voice that sounded horribly familiar. A shadow came over Tyler and Klaus came in vision.
“Seriously? You again? If I wanted to see your ugly face again I would’ve given you a call” Tyler said annoyed. Being imprisoned by Klaus was getting really old. “Look, whatever you want with me, can you just get it over with already?”
“Oh, but of course” Klaus said. He bit his wrist and forced Tyler to drink his blood. Then he grabbed Tyler’s neck and snapped it.
“And now we wait” Klaus said.

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.

One week later.
Heather was sitting by Meg’s bed. A week had gone by and Meg hadn’t opened her eyes once. The doctor had told her she was not in a coma, but just fast asleep. She would live. It was just a matter of time before she woke up.
Cas was less lucky. Someone had tried to kill him again, but fortunately there was a camera in the room and so the doctors could interfere just in time. Heather couldn’t help but wonder if keeping Cas alive wasn’t just extension of execution.
She felt something soft and cold on her arm and she looked down to see Meg’s finger moving.
“Meg?” she said.
Meg’s eyelids moved and slowly, but surely she opened them.
“Welcome back” Heather sighed relieved.
Meg tried to sit up, but Heather gently pushed her down again.
“Careful” she said. “I’ll go get a doctor” She hurried to the door and walked outside to call a doctor.

Katherine was sitting on a chair. A row of small stakes pinched each arm to the arm-rests and a special kind of muzzle kept her mouth shut. The muzzle also had stakes, smaller than the arm stakes, and they pierced through Katherine’s jaws. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience” Veronica said demeaning. “Actually, I’m not. You had this coming. You broke in here, you threatened me” She took a chair and put it down in front of Katherine. “Such a pity Derek chose the wrong side. If he hadn’t Damon Salvatore would be sitting next to you”
Katherine managed to produce a smirk.
“Oh, don’t be so smug” Veronica sniffed. “I’ll get to him. He’s the one that killed Kelsey. He will die a slow and painful death” she said, more to herself than to Katherine. She stood up and walked to a corner, where she picked up her cross-bow. “In the meantime” she said, while she aimed the crossbow at Katherine. “I have you to have fun with” and she fired.
