"Are you sure there is nothing else we can do?" Gabriel asked, he worried his lip and his younger brother took his hand. "I am sorry Sir Trickster and Sir Novak, " the lawyer said, "As long as this debt is here we will not be able to move forward, the debt is of a large amount. I don't think anyone can get this is such little time." Castiel shook his head, "There must be something, I mean the business hasn't been paused. Surely we have an amount." The lawyer nodded, "You have about three fourths the amount. That would be all you could take from the workers without causing their paychecks harm. There is still the fifty thousand you would need to pay." Gabriel smiled, "We can sell our cars, the houses would be untouched due to mother and father's wishes but, we'll find something." His golden eyes shimmered and clashed with his brother's lightning blue eyes. Castiel smiled, "I am willing to bet that father wouldn't mind one or two of his cars going to the auction. I am pretty sure they would get a hefty price." Gabriel shook his head, "No, father loved them too much Castiel." The lawyer stood, "Once you have the money let me know. I will set up a meeting and we can get this done as fast as possible." They walked the lawyer to the door and Castiel smiled once the door was closed, "I will contact my friend Balthazar to sell our cars, we can get at least half the amount, not to mention I have some jewelry that can help us."
Gabriel glared, "Not the jewelry our parents left us right? Because I'll gut you brother." Castiel sighed, "What are we supposed to do then?" Castiel asked. Gabriel hugged him, "Don't worry about it Cas, I will take care of it. Trust me." Cas nodded and went to the pantry, "Let's get some wine out then." Gabriel frowned when his brother walked away, he didn't know where to get the cash from. He pulled out his phone, desperate times called for desperate measures. The person picked up on the fourth ring, "What do you need Gabe?" the male voice said, "I'm busy." Sighing Gabriel, "Michael I need thirty grand, I need you to lend it to me or find someone who can." Michael moaned and Gabriel growled, "I need the money!" Michael sighed, "I don't have that kind of money, but if you really need something that bad I know where you can go." A moan was heard and then he was talking again, "There is a club at the old warehouses. Ask for a man named Winchester, don't tell him I sent you. Be sure you're talking to the younger one though, he won't be so keen on the interests." With that Michael hung up and Cas walked into the room with wine, "Hey, what's up?" Gabriel smiled, "Let's see how much Balthazar can get for my car shall we?"
Just as Gabriel thought, Balthazar was able to get a decent price for his car, a custom made hybrid like his was worth in the thirty thousands. He was only a bit short of getting the fifty, and that is why Gabriel found himself standing in a warehouse office with a buff looking man next to him and an annoying secretary typing away. "Gabriel?" the secretary asked. Gabriel nodded, "Yes?" "I'm Chuck" Chuck the secretary said, "Mr. Winchester will see you now." Gabriel nodded and walked into the office where a green eyed bronze haired attractive young man stood and pointed to a seat, "You requested to speak to me?" Gabriel was looking at a picture that had the young man and a taller bigger young man. "Yes," Gabriel said, "I was referred to you, they said you could possibly lend me thirty grand and I would be able to pay it back in six months." The young man nodded, "Right to business, I like you. Alright, I can do that. I am Dean by the way." Gabriel stuck his hand out, "Pleasure to meet you. Who is the guy in the picture?" Dean smiled, "My brother, Sammy." Gabriel smiled, the older brother has an adorable name, and smile. Dean leaned across the table and shouted, "Chuck!" Chuck scurried in, "Yes?" Dean pointed at Gabriel, "One contract, thirty thousand, it will be completed downstairs." Chuck nodded, "Awesome. I'll bring it up in a few minutes." Dean went and grabbed two drinks and passed one to Gabriel, "What's the money for?" Gabriel didn't want to tell him about the company so he shrugged, "Family debts." Dean burst out laughing, "And so you come here to make a Deal? Are you an idiot.?"
Gabriel was about to respond but Chuck came in with the papers, "Here you are. You will sign on the dotted line, there is one on each page except for the last one there are two on that page. Uriel went to grab the money already." Gabriel sighed, "What are the interests?" Dean smiled and twirled his drink before looking over the rim at Gabriel, "Ten percent if you manage to pay it back within the first six months. If you pay it even a day earlier there are no interests, and it goes up two percent a month." Gabriel looked at him, "Are you even making money with those rules?" Dean smiled, "I wouldn't have them if I wasn't. Now sign so we can give you the money. Uriel will escort you home so that you do not lose it on the way." Gabriel smiled gratefully and signed the paperwork, "Thank you, and I will see you soon to pay it back." Dean smiled, "Monday would be a great day to start."
Gabriel looked at him in confusion, "Monday?" Dean pointed at the contract, "You'll be paying me back by working for me. More specifically my company owns you until you pay it all back." Gabriel looked ready to faint, "What? I didn't know those were the conditions!" Dean shrugged, "Shouldn't have signed without reading buddy. Go, Uriel has your money." Gabriel walked out of the office with a sad face and Uriel smirked, "Come on, I'll give you a ride home." Gabriel didn't even look where he was heading, instead he closed his eyes and let himself be led through the warehouse to the car. Castiel was going to flip, he almost wanted to cry. "Where to boss?" Uriel asked. "I live in the county over, Maple City." Uriel looked at him as if he was lying, "Whatever you say honey." He began the long drive there and Gabriel bit his lip the entire way, not knowing what he was going to tell Castiel.
When he arrived home Castiel was outside washing the car, he looked at the black suburban curiously until Gabriel hopped out with a case. Uriel looked at the big house and the collector cars and whistled calling Dean on the phone. "What is it Uriel?" Dean asked impatiently, "I'm at the airport picking up Sammy." "Boss," Uriel said into the phone, "I think we might have a problem. This guy had me drive him to the edge of the next county, not only that he lives in Maple." Dean growled, "Damn it, so he might come from an important family, what street?" Uriel began to blabber, "I thought he was lying at first, I mean, why would he deal with us shady folk, especially for a measly thirty thousand." "What street!" Dean yelled. "Novak Falls." Dean did a sharp intack of breath, "Does he work for them?" Uriel bit his lip, "What is his name in the papers he signed?" There was some shuffling and a sigh in relief, "His last name is Trickster. Kinda cool if you ask me. He must be working for them." Uriel agreed.
Castiel hugged his brother, "Why the long face? Does your friend want to come in?" Gabriel shook his head, "Castiel we need to talk. I think I pulled a no-no." Castiel led his brother to the car he was washing and sat down on the hood, "What's wrong? Did you sell an organ? We could have sold my car!" Gabriel paled, "Not an organ. See Micheal told me about this Winchester who would lend us the money and allow us to pay it back. I went to see him, interests are good, we can pay it back in six months.." Castiel smiled and hugged him, "So are we good?" Gabriel shook his head, "Turns out, we work for him to pay it off." Castiel shook his head, "No way! What is he going to be paying you? What is the job?" Gabriel shrugged, "It's a warehouse, I think all I do is move things." Castiel hung his head, "We could have sold my car." Gabriel kissed his brother's head and rested it on his lap, "Father's parting gift was the car Castiel. It means the world to you, come now. You take care of the newspaper and I'll take care of the debt." Uriel honked and they separated, "Mr. Trickster, I'm waiting for you to get some items and get back in the car." Gabriel looked confused, "What do you mean?" "You get to live at our warehouse along with everyone else who works with the boss man." Castiel shook his head, "That is not going to happen!" Uriel got out of the car, "We can do this the easy way or the hard way." Gabriel gave the briefcase to Castiel, "Call the lawyer, tell him to set up the meeting. Lucifer will take care of the rest. I need you to trust me Castiel. I will be back." Uriel rolled his eyes, "Whatever, let's just go!" Castiel kicked Uriel in the jewels, "That is for being an annoyance!" He walked inside as Uriel grabbed his testicles, "Ouch." Gabriel smirked and followed his brother.
