Summer 2007
Daphne and Roland were lying in the woods, enjoying the sun and playing like teenagers in love.
At the shore of the lake there was a handsome twenty-five year old man.
“Go on, Martin” a female voice said. “You can do it”
Martin turned around. “Zoey!” he said enthusiastic and clapped his hands. Zoey came to him and he hugged her tight. “Martin loves Zoey”
Zoey caressed his hair. “I know, darling, I know” she said sweet. “You want to go take a dip in the lake?” she suggested.
Martin looked at her and she could see the conflict in his eyes. It was really hot and he could really use some refreshing, but on the other hand he really wasn’t such a good swimmer.
Zoey took his hand and smiled reassuring. “I’ll be with you. Nothing will happen”
So they took off their clothes, except their underwear and walked into the lake.
They swum and splashed water to each other. Zoey was a very good swimmer and she pulled Martin further into the lake.
“Zoey, I think we should go back” Martin said a little scared.
“Silly, you’re safe with me” Zoey promised. She dived into the water and pulled Martin under.
“Help!” Martin yelled difficult, with his mouth full of water.
Zoey grabbed Martin by his shoulders and pulled him up.
“Zoey, why did you do that?” Martin asked sad.
“I was just playing with you” Zoey said sweet. She caressed his hair again. “Sssh, it’s okay. You don’t have to be scared. It’ll all be over soon”
And with all her strength she pushed his head under water. He struggled and fought, but Zoey felt how his defense became weaker and weaker.
She pulled him to the shore and lay him down. Then she ran into the woods, until she found Daphne and Roland sleeping.
“Daphne, wake up!” Zoey screamed hysterical. She kicked Daphne in her right side and she opened her eyes.
“What?” Daphne asked weak.
“Get up!” Zoey yelled.
“What is going on? Did something happen?” Daphne asked.
“Yes, something terrible” Zoey cried. “Martin’s dead. He drowned”
It felt like the world had fallen down on Daphne.
“No” Daphne said trembling. She stood up and ran towards the lake. “Martin, wake up! Sweetie, wake up!”
Zoey grabbed Daphne’s shoulders and shook her.
“He’s dead! He’s never going to wake up!” she yelled angry and Daphne cringed. “You have to go home and break things off with Roland”
“What? Why?” Daphne sobbed confused.
“He’s no good for you” Zoey snapped. “Don’t you see it? You were supposed to look after our brother and look what happened! I tried to save him, while you were being the slut that you are”
“It’s not my fault” Daphne said weak.
“Go home” Zoey ordered. “I’ll make some calls”

The first witness was the mother of the seven year old boy Cas had healed from a life threatening fever.
“I went to the kitchen and when I came back Mr. Allen, as he presented himself, had his hands all over my son. I…I think he was taking advantage of my son’s weakness”
“Objection!” Craig said. “I think everyone in Castle Rock knows about my client’s special abilities? Castiel can heal people with his bare hands, which is why Mrs. Jones had him come over in the first place. But to do his job he needs to touch his patient. He doesn’t even charge them”
“Of course he wouldn’t” Evan Trumble, Daphne’s attorney, said. “That’s because he knows that what he’s doing is wrong”
While Craig and Evan where quibbling, Cas looked sharp at Mrs. Jones.
“I never touched your son and you know it. I saved your son and this is not the right way to thank me”
Mrs. Jones seemed to cringe and looked around to find support or a way out.

Night fell and Meg was playing with her phone. She had gotten so used to the sound of wings, she didn’t bother to look up when Balthazar and Anna appeared.
“We just heard Castiel’s trial’s tomorrow, which is very unusual” Balthazar said. “Whatever Crowley’s up to, it’ll happen tomorrow”
Meg shrugged. Why did everyone expect her to care?
“That means you’ll have to be prepared” Anna said sharp.
Meg stopped playing games with her phone.
“We’re getting you out tonight” Anna said.
Meg looked up, happy as a child. “Finally” she said.
Balthazar conjured his sword, but then a bright light shone from somewhere ahead of them.
“Oh no” Meg said. “Oh no no no no no no!”
That didn’t exactly help, because an instant later both Balthazar and Anna were gone.
Meg sunk to the bottom of her cell.
“Great” she said grumpy. “Juuuust great”

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”
