Dean has been back from Purgatory for a week but, Sam is not convinced about he's explanation of Cas.
"Alright, let's go"
Sam doesn't move
"What's going on?" Dean asks
"Tell me more about Cas"
"Sammy" Dean pleads
"I'm not leaving till you tell me, so"
Dean sits
"Ok, here's the truth" Dean starts
"So you lied? Sam asks
"No...Basically when we got to purgatory Cas disappeared on me. I spent the last year looking for him. He told me he ran to keep me safe"
"I don't understand"
"Something to do with Leviathan's, I don't know"
"Then, what?" Sam asks
"I had him, Sam I swear but, he just...let go"
Dean wipes a tear
"Dean, I'm so sorry"
"Me too" Dean replies
"You know it's not your fault" Sam tells him
"How can it not be?"
"I wasn't there but, I know that you would have done everything to save him"
"Didn't do enough, he's not here"
"Dean..."
Dean's phone rings cutting off the rest of Sam's words
'Hello'
'Dean Winchester' The man answers
'Who's asking?'
'Never you mind. Just thought you'd like to know your friend is a patient at St James'
'Friend?' Dean asks
'Castiel' The man replies
'Is that a joke?'
'No, its serious' The man assures him
'Look I know who you are. I know Castiel's an angel. And I know you spent the last year in Purgatory'
'Who is this?' Dean insists
'I'm a friend of the angels'
'Right, and I'm just suppose to believe that'
'Well, do you give your enemies your phone number?'
'I wouldn't put it past them'
'Just get here, he needs you'
The man hangs up
"What the..."
"Who was that?" Sam asks
"I have no idea but, the gist of it was Cas is back"
"Where?" Sam asks
"Come on"
"Hang on, someone just calls and you just take their word for it"
"I know but, I have a good feeling about this" Dean tells him
"You'll forgive me if I'm not convinced"
"Sam, will you just trust me please"
"Ok but, I'm putting it on the record that I think this is a bad idea"
"Fine, if we get ambushed you can say 'I told you so' till your blue in the face"
45 minutes later
"Hi, Detective Swan this is Detective Smith" Dean shows her his badge
"What can I do for you?" the nurse asks
"We need to see a patient" Dean tells her
"Well you've come to the right place"
"This is probably a long shot. And he's not even here" Sam replies
"You got a picture?"
"N..."
"Yea" Dean cuts his brother off
Dean pulls out his wallet
"Humm, that kind of looks like Cas"
"Castiel?" Dean asks
"That's it but, it's an old picture"
"Do you mind if we check for ourselves?" Dean asks
"I don't know...he's asleep at the moment"
"We'll be in and out I swear" Dean tells her
"Ok, sure, it's down the hall on your left number 12."
"Thanks" Sam says
"It's right at the end" The nurse replies
As they're walking down the hall
"What?" Dean asks
"Are we just going to skip over the fact that you had a picture of Cas in your wallet?"
"Skip over what?
"Why do you have a picture of Cas in your wallet?"
"For occasions like this...here it is"
"You know it might not be him" Sam says
"Only one way to find out"
Dean opens the door quietly
"Cas"
"Shush, don't wake him" Sam says
"Right"
"I guess we should go"
"I'm going to stay" Dean tells him
"Ok, I'm staying too"
"No, there's no point us both staying. Go back to the hotel get some rest, we still have a day left" Dean tells him
"Alright, you want anything"
"No, I'm good" Dean replies
An hour later
"You're still here? I thought you'd gone"
"I just wanted to make sure he was ok" Dean replies
"He must be very important to you. What is he an escaped prisoner or something?" The nurse asks
"Not at all"
Cas wakes
"Dean"
"Cas, how you doing?" The Nurse asks
"I'm fine" Cas replies
"Dean...your badge said Wilson"
"Right, Dean is my middle name" Dean tells her
"Wilson, Dean?"
"My parents were...comedians"
The nurse looks at him
"Ok, busted"
"You're not a real cop?" The Nurse asks
"I am...it's just this isn't official police business, see he's a really good friend of mine..."
"Why didn't you just say that?" she asks him
"Sorry" Dean replies
"It's alright you're a cop, you're use to lying"
"Wow"
The nurse smiles
"So, can I stay" asks Dean
"Yea, if you get found out I know nothing about it"
Dean nods and the nurse leaves
"Dean"
"Hey, buddy how you feeling?" Dean asks
"Like I was hit by a car...'cause I was"
"A car, seriously?"
A women walks in
"You're awake"
She kisses him on the cheek
"What type of nurse are you?" Dean asks
"Oh, sorry I didn't know anyone was here"
"Dean, this is Gaby. She saved my life"
"Well it's the least I could do" She replies
Silence
"Wait, you're the one who hit him?" Dean asks
"Saved his life" She tells him
"Yea, well the way I see it if it wasn't for you he wouldn't be here. How did you even get in here? I was told visitor hours were finished"
"How did you?" She asks
"You first" Dean replies
"Who the hell are you, anyway?"
"I'm Cas friend" Dean tells her
"Some friend he's been in here 2 weeks"
"2 weeks?"
"I knew you two would get on" Cas cuts the tension with a knife
A Nurse walks in
"What's going on in here?" The Nurse asks
Silence
"Well, there's too many people in here one of you will have to leave"
"He was just leaving" Gaby replies
"I'm not going anywhere. I was here first"
"I've been here first" Gaby replies
Silence
"Cassy, tell him"
"er..."
"You know what I'll go" Dean cuts him off
"Dean..."
"It's alright, I'll see you tomorrow"
Dean walks to the door
"Dean, wait" Cas calls out
"Are you choosing him over me ?" She asks
"Gaby, it's not like that"
"Whatever...maybe I'll see you tomorrow"
Gaby leaves
