The Man Who Knew Too Much
Chapter 2: Dark Side of the Moon
The shouts and car horns outside were barely audible over the din of the small New York City bar. Cas watched as the people talked, laughed and drank. He could barely keep his eyes open as he leaned against the bar and waited for the end of his shift in just over an hour.
"Ohhh… Sweetie. You're dead on your feet. Go home!" Emily said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Cas stood up all the way and said, "I can't. I have an hour left of my shift, I can't afford to leave now."
"Cas, Sweetie. In case you missed it... I own this bar!" She said loudly. Her long brown ponytail swung around her head as she gestured around the large room."It won't kill you to go home and get to sleep." She held up her hand to stop his interruption. "You have school in the morning and it's almost midnight." Cas tried to say something, but she shushed him, "Go home! That's an order!" She pointed to the door and stared at him for a moment.
Cas sighed in defeat and grabbed his backpack from under the bar. He waved to Emily before walking out of the bar and into the New York street.
Cas was home faster than he thought he'd be. He pulled back the broken section of chain link fence and slipped through. He picked his way through the debris littering the empty warehouse on the edge of the city. He slowly climbed the staircase that led to the top floor. When he finally got to the top, he tossed his backpack in the doorway of the room by the window.
He climbed over the pile of blanket that was his bed to the window. He tied the sheet that covered the window to the rusty nail on the wall, and pushed the window open. He stretched his legs out across the sill and felt the cool, spring breeze blow through the room. He loved the view from up here, he could see the Statue of Liberty in the distance and he could smell the salty sea air. He thought about Emily and wondered what she would think if she knew he lived alone in an abandoned warehouse.
He stared at the moon and stars and felt the familiar pang of emptiness he felt whenever he looked at the sky. Someday he'll find where he fits into the world.
Cas didn't know how long he sat there looking up at the black sky before he finally lay on his blankets and tried not to dream.
Flames licked up the body of the man across the meadow… he screamed and vanished… A flash of light seared across his eyes and the scene changed. A beautiful woman with bright red hair and a long, silver blade in her hand, stabbing a big black guy… he fell back as wings appeared on the ground around him… another flash of light… "Sammy!" Someone called from somewhere he couldn't see… Lightning struck and he saw a man covered in blood and hooks tearing in to the flesh all over his body… A child with milky white eyes, covered in blood smiled at him. A woman with long black hair being attacked by a giant dog, she was slashing at it with the same silver blade as the red head had. Her eyes flashed black… Bright lights and game show music played as he burst through the doors in the middle of a large room with 2 men attached at the leg to pedestals on either side of him. He disappeared and a bag caught fire at his feet. And a man turned to ash right in front of him. A girl in a waitress uniform coughed up black goo and fell dead. Three people appeared and everything slowed down… the man that had hooks all over him was there, with a very tall guy and an old guy in flannel… one word appeared in his mind… Family.
Cas's eyes shot open and he bolted upright. He took a deep shaky breath and looked at the cheap alarm clock beside him. He cursed and jumped up… he was going to be late.
