Hours pass and there is no mention of the mark in the book yet.

"I'm gonna head out. Follow up on some leads on other books in case this doesn't pan out" Charlie smiles softly

"There's other leads?" I perk up in the chair

She nods and her smile falls "I thought they were less promising then that book there so I didn't mention it before"

"Oh" I fall back into the chair with less hope

"But you never know!" Her perky attitude shows through. I put on a fake smile back to appease her and give her a hug goodbye "thanks Charlie"

Castiel pushes him self back onto the chair rubbing his eyes and coughing another hour or so later

"Anything?" Dean asks

Cas shakes his head "so far it's about opening lucifers cage and about the seals" he explains "I'm not skipping over anything, just in case" he looks to Dean with a scruffy face and tired eyes.

"You should take a break, shower, and rest" I tell him

"I'm fine" he assures us

"No, she's right. You're not well" Dean returns back to him.

"Just a few minutes" he gets up slowly, leaving us behind.

Sam walks in a few seconds later "he doesn't look so good"

"Exactly what we told him" I reply to him

"We're gonna need to figure out his grace situation before he can finish this book" Dean speaks up

"What do you mean?" I ask

"He's not gonna be alive much longer to read the book without getting his grace back." He explains further "Sam, we have to find Metatron" he turns to his brother.

"I agree." Sam simply says

"Where would you even start?" I ask, already sad Dean will be going back out

"with the Angels" Sam speaks up "they've had some leads"

Dean stands up "we'll follow them, find the right one, get our answers"

"How? Torture?" I ask already knowing where they would keep him

"There's really no other option" Dean nods his head "we'll use the blade if we have to"

"But you don't have the mark, or the blade" I remind him

He shrugs "he doesn't have to know that" he turns to Sam with seriousness on his face "let's get going, 20 minutes!" He begins to walk out

Sam stops him "wait!" Dean turns, "shouldn't Cas come with us?"

I look from Sam to Dean waiting for his answer. Dean sighs and answers "we need him here to translate the book" and turns back on his heals.

"I'll watch over Cas" I assure Sam. He nods a firm nod and leaves the room. I follow shortly and walk into the room while Dean is packing quietly not to wake Paul. "How long will you be gone?" I whisper out. He packs a gun then turns to me.

"I don't know, however long it takes to find him.. Unless something happens to Castiel.." He says painfully

"You'll find him before anything happens" I grip on to his hand squeezing it tightly

"I'm sorry I'm leaving you two" he looks me in the eyes now with sorrow.

I shrug it off "it's okay, you have to help him.. We'll be okay here.. Routine doesn't change too much" I look over at our sleeping son. Although I know how difficult it will be without Dean, I need to support his search "besides, you'll be back before you know it" I rub my finger across his hand.

He smiles softly and moves over to Paul. He picks him up gently not to wake him. "Don't get too big on me!" He whispers to him before kissing him softly on the head. He slowly puts him back down.

"Thank you" Dean walks back to me and I stand. He puts his hand under my chin and lifts it up so our lips touch one another's. We kiss for a minute before he pulls away "call me if anything happens!" I nod to him and he grabs his bag, leaving the room.
