Sam and Dean had spent hours going over all of Sam's documents and previous case studies, Sam informed Dean about the Williams vs Sacramento Case. The case seemed to be identical to Dean's a teacher that had been accused of attacking one of his students, Williams continues to say that he is innocent whilst in jail and getting attacked on a regular basis. Something Sam vowed would not happen to Dean. Sam had called his colleague who had been in charge of Williams Case. The lawyer himself was still convinced that the guy was innocent and he gave pointers to Sam of what to expect and be prepared for.

Sam had also completed some research into Bert Jones the lawyer to cure his curiosity – turns out, Bert was a lawyer who enjoyed getting paid no matter if he won or lost the case. By the looks of things he wasn't willing to put any effort into Dean's case – therefore it would have been easier for Dean to claim he was guilty. One telling Dean this, he questioned how many innocent people could be in jail because of this Bert? Typical Dean, thinking of other people rather than himself.

Dean had given as much information as he could about his situation, but he informed that he didn't really have much to provide. The brothers were growing in confidence but they both had that conscious feeling that this case may not go their way. That was until Mary walked in…

"Hi boys, Dean you have a visitor. You're both going to want to see this."

"who is it?" Dean asked in confusion

"A student from your school; Claire?"

"I teach about 10 different Claire's, Mom"

"Blonde, pretty, slight attitude. She's here with her Uncle"

"Novak?"

"that's the one" Mary left

"Dude what the hell" Dean turned to Sam "I don't know Dean, so you teach this Claire?" Sam returned, trying to see what they what about to happen.

"Yeah she's a bright kid. She went off the rails a few years ago, a few of the teachers said I was the one that brought her back on track"

Sam looked at him questioningly

Dean rolled his eyes "Her Dad died, some freak accident. Her uncle now looks after her. He's unusual, to say the least…well you'll see. Come on lets go"

The brothers walked into the living room to find both John and Mary in deep discussion with the Novaks. Claire was sat down on the couch whereas her Uncle was stood to one side observing the situation with a serious expression. The moment they walked in Claire jumped up from her seat.

"Hi Dean…erm…Mr Winchester"

"Claire, Dean's fine. Castiel" Dean smiled but got no reaction so he turned his attention back to Claire "What are you doing here?"

"erm…well I heard the news."

"Right" Dean looked up towards Castiel to see any reaction. Dean sat down followed by Claire; she turned to him and announced "people weren't happy"

"So, everyone knows?"

"Practically the whole school, including parents and the board"

Dean lent backwards against the couch and covered his eyes "this is exactly what I didn't want"

"there's something else you should see" Claire went into her bag and pulled out a folder "Everyone was pretty mad!" She gave the file to Dean. "There is over 500 signatures in that folder." Dean stared at her before he opened the folder with shaking hands.

The folder contained a document describing why over 500 people had felt the need to sign a petition for… wait what. The document was titled…

PETITION ON BEHALF OF DEAN WINCHESTER – FALSELY ACCUSED

"Wh..what is this?" Dean expressed in shock as he flicked through signatures.

"It is a petition, I believe it says that in the title"

"Yes, thank you Uncle Cas! Listen, we are hoping that this can be used in court. I would have arrived here sooner but I wanted to get at least 500. Once Mr MacLeod sent out the email.."

"What email? Crowley informed everyone? He said he was going to try and keep it quiet"

"You shouldn't blame Fergus!" Castiel announced. "He informed me of the predicament and it was my suggestion that he inform the parents of the allegations."

"What why?" was John's reaction.

"Well, from my interactions with your son, I found him pleasant, a hard worker and loyal. I for one was shocked by the information presented to me and vowed that I would assist Fergus in helping his colleague and friend."

He tuned to Dean "my people skills are rusty some might say, so if my impression of Dean was correct then other parents would feel the same."

"That's a very risky move" Said Sam.

"I believe you have 500 signatures in there, some signatures are from parents of multiple children at the school. A successful Risk?"

"So what does this now mean?" questioned Mary

Sam took the folder from Dean, "It means this is a huge benefit to the case and we can use it. Not only are we getting confirmation of Dean's character but we have endorsement from parents – that is huge for the jury to see."

"Also I am going to kill whoever this slut is?"

"Claire" warned Castiel

"No, I am serious. I will kill her! What an evil Bitc.."

"ok! Thank you for your back up." Dean smiled.

"We best be on our way – we have to check into our hotel. We are staying for the trial. If that is ok by you?" Castiel announced. "Fergus has also informed he will be down. If you need witnesses we will be more than happy to be involved."

"Yeah, I will tell them the truth and make sure no one believes that lying cow!"

"Claire!"

Claire rolled her eyes – "Anyway, good luck Dean" and with that the Novak's got up to leave. "Thanks for this Claire, I really appreciate it" he smiled and turned to Castiel "And you too Cas, it really means a lot" Castiel tilted his head in response, he straightened and focused his blue eyes on Dean and grabbed his hand in a strong handshake. "I believe in you Dean!" with that they left.
