Chapter 7
Home Sweet Home
After a few hours sleep and a recon mission by Castiel to make sure there were no surprises waiting on them, the Winchesters and CC left for Chicago. They'd made good time, getting there before Ten in the morning. Aside from Dean's reluctance to leave the impala in the care of the parking attendant, there was no trouble of any kind, Not even a traffic jam. It was almost eerie considering the purpose of the trip.
Once inside the lobby of the apartment building Sam and Dean began to grasp just how different a life Castiel had been leading with CC. He carried her bag over one shoulder while holding her hand with the other hand. Walking behind the couple Dean watched their interaction. They spoke quietly to one another, sharing a smile or a nod occasionally. He was struck by how perfectly normal… average… Hell even boring, they appeared. No one, not even Dean himself would have ever suspected that the Man in the trench was an angel charged with protecting the woman at his side. A woman whose entire family had been wiped out by demons. They were quite simply a couple nothing more. Invisible and unassuming in the size of Chicago. Dean was beginning to appreciate Castiels brilliance. He had hidden her in her plain sight.
Castiel walked with CC in tow to the elevator at the farthest point of the lobby. Stopping, he reached into his pocket and produced a card key which he then slipped inside the slot provided, allowing them access to the more secure levels of the building. Dean shook his head. Castiel, the guy who was confused by voice mail and well…just about everything else technical, did this as if he had done it hundreds of times. Then Dean realized he probably had.
"Either Cas has been moonlighting as a bank robber or she is loaded." Sam whispered interrupting Deans thoughts.
"Yeah well,,,She said her father left her well taken care of." Dean reminded, looking around the lobby.
Sam chewed on his lower lip and looked around. "Very well." he agreed.
When they got off of the elevator they were in a short hallway. There were only two apartments on this entire floor. CC's , on the left and a vacant apartment on the right.
"I wouldn't think there wouldn't be many empty apartments in the city, especially a building like this." Sam commented.
"It's not vacant." CC told him as Castiel opened the apartment door with another key card. "It's being renovated for the new tenant."
Castiel led CC inside, again it was obvious the angel had done just this hundreds of times. The way he slung her bag out of the way and opened the door, sticking his head in first before turning his attention to CC and ushering her inside with an arm over her shoulder. In the entry hall he stopped and set the duffle on the floor while he slipped off his coat and then reached to help CC off with hers. He laid both of them over a settee in the hallway and kissed her forehead. "You're safe here." He said with a small smile.
"I'm not worried." she told him.
"Well I am." he sighed, looking at her, then turning to nod at the Winchesters. "The apartment is warded against angels and demons." he explained. "We should all be safe here until whatever is going to happen…happens."
"I need a real shower." CC said moving to Castiel and threading her arms around his neck. "No offence, but those Motel bath rooms just don't cut it." She sighed looking at Dean.
"Yeah don't I know it." The elder Winchester responded looking the place over.
"I think I am going to soak awhile." she said turning her attention back to Castiel. "Wanna come with?"
The angel nudged her nose with his own. "Regrettably I need to take care of a few things." He moved his lips to her forehead and planted a soft kiss. "Go on…But I will check on you as soon as I can."
"All work and no play." CC teased, before she excused her self, leaving the Winchesters and Castiel in the living room.
"Wow this place is amazing! Sam said looking out the window at the view of the city.
Castiel nodded his agreement then added "The view from the bedroom is CC's favorite. I must admit it is quite impressive at night."
Dean smirked. "You spend a lot of nights here do you? You know enjoying the view."
The angels jaw tightened at his friends remark, but he answered. "Yes… among other things."
Dean opened his mouth about to exorcize his sharp wit with a quick comeback but he was interrupted by the sound of CC screaming.
