Chapter 3: Confession.

"We are police" Dean said to Castiel, "we have to make it known to her that we wont arrest her we just want to talk."

"Okay" Castiel said.

"I want you to follow my lead on this one" Dean put a hand on Castiel's shoulder, "no good cop or bad cop. Just follow my lead."

"I understand"

"Try to be sympathatic."

"Okay" Castiel nodded, "where is she?"

"Over there" Dean pointed.

"Why is she dressed like that?"

"She's a prostitute. Says her name is Lou Smith" Dean handed Castiel a badge. "Lets go". They walked over to her.

"Miss Smith" Dean said

"My names Lou" she said looking Castiel up and down.

"Of corse" Dean held up a badge, Castiel watched him and then he did the same.

"You guys are here about the murder I saw aren't you?" Lou asked crossing her arms.

"Yes we are" Castiel said putting his badge away. "We don't want to cause any trouble"

"Then fuck off" Lou said "you're not gonna do me any good. Your the police" she looked at Castiel "but I do like a man in uniform."

"We just wanna talk, we won't arrest you we just want to know what you saw" Dean said trying to lead her away from the streets.

"Well I was walking home, I was taking a shortcut through the ally like I always do. I heard some people talking they sounded like they were arguing I didn't want to get in the way so I waited for them to leave but I watched what was going on. They were talking about someone. Said the persons name was Dernilael. Apparently the person they were talking about had betrayed them to the demons. One of the guys called the other a black eyed bitch and stabbed him in the neck" Lou began shaking all over.

"It's okay, your doing great. What happened next?" Castiel asked.
"The guy who got stabbed, coming from his eyes and nose and chest was a orangey light the guy who stabbed him - This is gonna sounds crazy - he disappeared. Just like that. Gone."

"Okay, did either of them know you were there?" Castiel asked.

"No" Lou fluttered her eye brows. "Come on, I wanna show you something" she tried pulling him away. Castiel's looked at Dean as if to say 'Save me!'

"I'm sorry sugar but try get it on with him and I will arrest you" Dean threatened.

"I get it. Work romance" Lou said "I'm sorry. I let you get back to work if you let me get back to work."

"Work romance?" Dean said "No" he put an arm around Castiel's shoulder and pulled him away.

"Dean, what did she mean by work romance?"

"Work romance is two people who work together but are in love" Dean explained.

"Like Sam and Ruby. They worked together and they were in love, right?" Castiel asked.

"Yeah kinda like that. Come Sam said I should go check out some book from the library. I'll drop back at the motel first." Dean got back in the car.

'Dean has beautiful eyes' Castiel thought to himself as he smiled.

"Whats that smile for?" Dean asked smiling back and starting the car.

"Nothing. I don't know" Castiel looked away from Dean and lowered himself in his seat.

"I'll just zap back" Castiel said
"No. It's okay I don't mind driving you. I enjoy your company" Dean said.

"I don't really know what yo talk about"

"It's nice being able to sit here with you and not have to talk. Being with you is enough."

"Thats nice" Castiel said rolling the window back up. The silence in the car on the drive was nice. Not one of those awkward silence that normally hang around in the air of the Winchesters or Castiel. Castiel got out the car when Dean pulled into the motel car park.

"Thanks for the ride" Castiel waved closing the car door and allowing Sam to opened the motel door for him.

"Are you - In love with Dean?" Sam asked closing the door as his brother drove off. Castiel stopped for a minute. Thought about what Sam had said before answering with

"Yes."
