Four-An Angel Descending
Jo woke hot and sticky in the cab of her truck. She looked not knowing where she was but it seemed to be a garage. Jo got out of the truck. Jo since the guy from before she walked closer to him. She stopped a little more than a foot from him. She glared at him. Who are you and what are you? You already know who I am, Castiel said. No I don't, you gave me a name that means nothing. Explain yourself, Jo said. Castiel a little intrigued decided to give her a little information. He sat down on the tailgate of the her truck. I'm an angel. He waited for her disbelief. Jo walked closer to him, you look like a normal man. A worthy man prayed to be used for God's work, so here I'm an occupying his body. My true form would harm you.
If you are an angel why would your true form hurt me? I mean aren't you suppose to be the good guy? Do you know anything about Moses? Some, Jo replied. Moses was called by God, he followed God's word and God was very pleased with him. Moses asked to see God's glory and God permitted it as it is written in Exodus 33:17-21. But God told Moses you cannot see my face, for no one may see my face and live. It is kind of like with us also. What is your job, I mean what do you do? Jo asked. We are messengers of took the news in stride, but was nervous. Why are you helping me? Castiel revealed nothing in his face. I was asked to keep an eye on you in case you got in trouble. Jo's mouth opened, then closed. Who sent you? I was asked not to say, Castiel replied. Look Jo, I have to leave soon, will you be alright?
Can look after someone else, like you do me? Castiel studied her face and said, Dean's safe as anyone can be safe in this time. And with a blink of an eye, Castiel was gone. She opened the door and pulled her truck out and shut the door In a few minutes she was back on the interstate. She would drive for awhile then get a motel. Jo's mind was reeling so she turned the radio up full blast to drown out her thoughts. Jo kept on driving till she got to a town outside of Dallas. She got a room and took a long hot shower. After getting out she sat at the table and checked the local news. She wanted to see if there was any information on Amargosa. That lastest news did not include any deaths just a huge storm that had flooded the area. The local sheriff had resigned and checked himself in a mental hospital claiming he had seen demons. Poor guy thought he was crazy. Well at least he was alive, Jo thought.
She was wanted to call Sam. If someone would know something about an angel he and Dean would. She started to dial then hung the phone up. She hadn't spoke to Sam since Dean came back. He had left a voicemail on her phone letting her know Dean was alright. He never explained how he came back just that he was alright. Jo took a moment before she picked the phone back up and dialed Sam's number. She got his voice-mail, so she left a message. Sam was good about returning calls, so she knew as soon as he could he would call back. Jo walked over to the window and looked out a storm was coming. The clouds were thick and 's phone started to vibrate on the table. She picked it up and said "Harvelle" here. Sam's voice was on the line. Hey Jo, it's good to hear your voice, are you alright? Jo turned around and looked into Castiel's eyes. She nearly screamed. Jo gave a Castile a look that would sent anyone else backtracking.
Sam asked where are you? Castiel shook his head letting Jo, not to tell him. So she asked where and when can I met you? How about at Bobby's we will be there in a couple of days we can talk then. Sam, Jo said. You misunderstand I need to see you alone, without Dean around. Sam stayed quiet for awhile.
I get it Jo, but if you would give him some credit. I mean things are crazy as usual but he could really use you around. Dean's not ok Jo. Maybe he needs someone besides his little brother to talk to. Jo's chest felt so tight she could barley breathe. I'm sorry Sammy, you know I can't. I just can't, not now anyway. Alright Jo if your sure, I'll meet you at the vacation spot in three days ok. And listen Jo if you need anything just call me. If you need me to come right now, I will. No Sam, I'm good. I'll see you in three days. Bye, Sam. Jo put the phone down and shook her head. Are you going to be doing that on a regular basis? Jo asked Castiel. Castiel looked down at the floor and said you've placed your trust in the wrong Winchester. Stay away from Sam, you don't know everything. Sam has been honest with me I know about the demon. Castiel seemed to ignore what Jo had just said.
Instead he told her, Sam was right about one thing, Dean could use someone like you. Jo lost control this was the last straw. How do you know what Dean needs? And for the record he doesn't want me anywhere around. Yes, Jo but we both know he doesn't want you hurt. He and Sam have a lot of people looking for them. And he doesn't want you in the cross fire. Whatever Castiel, it's a cop out! And a nice way to say he's not interested in me. I'm fine with that. I've stayed away and I will continue to do that.
Castiel stood and walked over to her. Don't lie to me Joanna, I can see right through you. You still care about him and you a pretending not to. You do nothing but hunt. And your not happy. I've seen your dreams it's not pretty in there. You and Dean are the same in this aspect. No one has to torture you, because you do it to yourselves everyday.
Jo slapped Castiel across the face without so much of a flinch from him. Just leave me alone, I didn't ask you to be here and I'm telling you to go and don't come back. And that includes my dreams, Jo said. Stubborn human, Castiel said. Righteous jerk, Jo yelled. Jo was shaking she was so upset. Castiel lifted his hand to wipe the tear away from her cheek. Jo stood so still, it had been along time since anyone had touched her. She closed her eyes. She felt his thumb run so softly across the bottom of her lip. She opened her eyes and he was gone.
