Chapter Twelve.
Two days after the revelation in the pool PI Milton arrives with a thick file under one arm and a grim look on his face. Michael calls Lucifer into his office and Dean spends the next two hours pacing the living room despite Gabriel's best efforts to distract him. After what felt like days Lu comes out and asks Dean to come in there with him, he follows Lucifer.
They leave the door open in case Gabe wants to come in.
"Dean… this is Mr Milton, he's a private investigator and has been looking for your records" says Lu as he gestures to the dark haired man seated at Michael's desk.
He turns at the mention of his name and smiles "Hello Dean" he says.
"Hello Mr Milton" Dean replies softly, still not very comfortable around strangers.
Michael points to a thick file on his desk and grins "Look Dean… Mr Milton found everything we need and more. Your birth certificate, medical records, school records, your parents records too. We are going to bury Greenwood".
Dean smiles "Really ?".
Michael nods "Yes come and have look for yourself".
Dean moves over to the desk and opens the file… he looks through some of the papers and documents inside and smiles happily.
"This is all me… my life before…" Dean swallows hard and looks up at the private investigator "Thank you so much Mr Milton… thank you Michael" he finishes as he turns to the oldest Novak.
"This was Lu's idea Dean" says Michael softly.
Dean closes the file then goes too Lucifer and hugs him tightly "Thank you Lu" he half whispers, trying not to cry.
Lucifer hugs him back and whispers "Anything for you My Beloved Boy".
"So with your permission I'd like to trace Cross myself and confirm his location before we send the police in… I want to make sure they get him" Mr Milton says to Michael.
Mike nods "Yes good idea… I will pay you of course".
"No need… after what that asshole did to this poor boy I'm doing it for free" replies the PI.
"Thank you Mr Milton but your expenses will be paid at the very least" says Michael.
Castiel smiles "Fair enough… but travel only the rest is on me".
"Deal" replies Michael.
The two men shake hands and the private investigator says goodbye to them all and leaves. He goes home and packs a bag so he can head to Miami, Cross's last know whereabouts.
Lucifer takes Dean up to his room after the PI leaves as he is visibly upset… they sit against the headboard, Dean snuggled in Lu's arms.
"It must be hard being reminded of what you had" says Lu softly.
Dean nods and sniffs back tears "Yeah it is… I'd even forgotten the name of my old school till I read it…".
Lucifer strokes his back gently "Mr Milton will find that bastard and once he's been charged they will have to shut Greenwood down".
Again Dean nods "I know… that part I'm happy about Lu, thank you again".
"Like I said Dean… anything for you" replies Lu with a soft smile.
Dean snuggles closer… loving this man even more.
"I'm going to make sure the bastard gets life without parole… he will die in jail" swears Lu as he snuggles his boy close.
Dean smiles more.
"I know you will Lu" he says quietly.
Lucifer smiles and kisses his forehead.
Dean gasps and sits up, panic on his face as he asks "Will they try and take me away from you ? The law when they see I was sold illegally ?".
Lucifer frowns "They better not try… I will use every cent I have to stop that if they do… I promise you Dean, no one will take you from me, no matter what I have to do" he vows.
Dean believes him, he smiles more and leans in to kiss Lu.
Lucifer kisses back tenderly as he strokes Dean's back.
Even though he only had a few reasons to trust Lucifer, in Dean's eyes they were big reasons and he just kept finding more. He also kept finding more and more reasons to love the man who had saved him. Who treated him like a human being instead of an object to be used. Who seemed to love him back.
The kiss breaks and Dean whispers "I'm so lucky to have you Lu".
"I feel the same way about you Dean… I'm even luckier that you feel the same way I do" Lu grins.
"Oh… how is that" asks Dean.
Lucifer takes a deep breath "I love you Dean".
Dean grins "I love you too Lu".
Lucifer grins like an idiot before kissing his boy deeply.
Gabriel had waited for Michael to come to him… he didn't want to intrude on what was probably a very hard moment for Dean. So he was sitting in the living room watching TV when Michael came in.
Gabriel looks up "So ?" he asks.
"The PI found everything… birth, doctor, school and the parents records too. The name and possible location of the prick who sold him… everything we need to shut down Greenwood" replies Mike solemnly.
Gabriel nods "Good… very good, how's Dean ?".
"He was shaken… Lu took him upstairs for cuddles and to calm him" replies Michael as he sits next to his boy.
Gabriel grins "Even better".
Mike chuckles and kisses Gabe's cheek.
A voice from the doorway makes Michael look up.
"Excuse me Sir… I talked to that buddy of mine and he'll be happy to help" says Eddy.
Michael smiles and nods "How much ?".
"The pleasure of doing it Sir… he loathes those places and all that work in them" replies Eddy.
"Well if need be he was here helping you tighten security when it's being done" says Michael.
Eddy nods "Thank you Sir… but that won't be necessary".
"Very well… thank you Eddy and thank your friend for us too please" replies Mike.
"No worries Sir, I will" says Eddy before leaving them in peace and continuing on his rounds.
Eddy smiles as he thinks of what his ex army buddy had said when he asked the favour.
"Dirty fucking bastards all of them, more than happy to drop one for you Ed… sure you only want one done ?".
Eddy had been tempted to say do them all but he knew that his boss planned on closing the joint down so he had said just the one and sent his buddy a picture of the target, one he had taken himself and shown Gabriel to confirm it was Azazel. Eddy knew that by the end of next week the Greenwood employee would be dead. He frowns a bit as he thinks that a bullet to the head is too quick for the asshole… especially after what Mr Novak had told him about Dean almost dying. But his buddy is a sniper so that is how the man will be put down… quick, clean, untraceable.
