Hello again. I would like to thank rainystv, lovely 21, Hllo-Beastie and Mummabro for the wonderful reviews. Glad you're all enjoying it.

So here we go. Kali's come town.

Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.

On Tuesday afternoon at 2.15 exactly, Charlie should know she was standing there with a watch in one hand while having her face pressed up against the window of Angel Books, a black soft-top Porsche 911 (guess what kind of car I want) pulled up outside the store front next door making Charlie whistle. It wasn't often you saw a car like that in there town. Though secretly she had thought that was because Dean stalked the access roads arresting anyone trying to drive in in such a douche-mobile as he would call it. But back to the Porsche. The driver side door opened and an elegant black stiletto heel emerged, and if Charlie wasn't mistaken that was a Jimmy Choo's black stiletto. Oh there was the other one stepping out beside it. Attached to the shoes were tan slim yet toned legs, still bent at the knee as the woman was still in her car. At the moment Charlie's eyes reached the knees she saw them unbend and above them appeared a black pencil skirt with a matching jacket. Underneath the jacket Charlie could just make out a silk red shirt. No doubt all the clothes were designer she thought longingly (hey, she's only a woman right?) pulling her eyes away from the clothes she found herself looking at the back of the woman head. She had shoulder length black curls that bounced as she locked the car. She then turned and Charlie let out an involuntary "wow." The woman was older than Charlie but damn did she look good for her age. Her make-up appeared minimal and yet her skin was flawless. She was obviously of Asian descent and round her neck lay a gold locket.

"Hey Castiel get your ass over here and come look at this." Charlie exclaimed pushing herself further against the window to get a closer look. After all if wasn't everyday one saw the likes of this woman in there small town. (You never heard of subtlety Charlie?) She had an air of exoticness and excitement about her. You could tell she was from out of town. She looked as you would expect a confident New York business woman too.

"Why?" Castiel asked walking over to her and frowning when he saw what Charlie was looking at.

"Dean would not appreciate that car." Was all he said making Charlie roll her eyes.

"I was actually talking about the woman Castiel." Charlie replied.

"Well I should hope he won't appreciate her either." Castiel deadpanned back.

"God you can tell your Gabriel's brother sometimes can't you?" Charlie said with a shake of her head. Damn the Novak sense of humour.

"I'm not sure if that is an insult or compliment coming from you Charlie." Castiel replied smirking at her.

"Both." Was Charlie's response smirk in return before they both turned back to watch the woman.

Kali arrived in town and made her way to the store but it took her a minute to get the courage to get out of the car. This was it. This one trip could change her life as she knew it. Taking a deep breath she slowly got out of the car pulling her clothes straight. She had chosen the best outfit she had in her wardrobe to wear today. And while she told herself it was because she wanted to make a good impression on the people she would be dealing with she knew at the back of her mind that in truth it was just in case she ran into Gabriel. Not that was likely to happen. But had she not been looking her best she just knew it would. That also explained why she got up an hour earlier than needed this morning to make sure her hair and make-up were perfect. (Gotta look pretty if seeing your ex.)

Turning from locking her car she took a look at the outside of the store she was thinking of buying. Glancing at the shop faces on either side she saw two faces pressed against the window of the bookstore next door. (Busted.) With the raise of an eyebrow she turned away from the noisy town folk. That was until her brain registered that the two faces looked familiar. They were the faces of the people with Gabriel in that damn video. Quickly turning back to verify she was indeed correct she found that they had gone. No it must be a mistake. (It wasn't.) Why would Castiel Novak and that girl be in the bookstore next door? (Work?) No she was imagining things. Get a grip Kali, she muttered to herself as she made her way to the door of the shop. She was here for work, not Gabriel.

Charlie and Castiel were watching the woman as she turned and seemed to look right at them. When that happened they both moved so they were no longer in the line of sight of the window.

"Do you think she saw us?" Charlie asked somewhat embarrassed.

"Yes." Castiel replied returning to his work with a shake of his head. He didn't do things like that. Hmm, that was Charlie's influence on him at work. Maybe he should sack her he thought gleefully, not the he ever really would, but he did like to threaten her every so often, just to keep her on her toes. And this he refused to accept was a trait he had gained from Dean.

Kali walked into the store trying to keep her mind on her job and not on Novak's plural or Gabriel in particular. The agent showed her round and she had been right. This place was perfect. Just needed to check on the neighbourhood.

"The stores next door, have they been here long?" She asked casually as she turned in the room.

"Angel Books has been there for about 10 years now and I can't see Mr Novak selling any time soon. In fact he and his partner have just brought a house off of us." Replied the chatty male agent who was showing her round. He was your typical town man. Grown and bred here. And loved the place.

"Mr Novak?" Kali asked quickly when she heard the name. (Why you so interested if you're here for work hmm?)

"Yes. Castiel Novak Why?" Replied the agent.

"I used to know someone called Novak, must be a coincidence." Kali managed to get out. So it was Gabriel's brother she had seen and with him the girl from the video. She still didn't know who she was. (Don't worry I'm sure you will soon enough.)

"Well there's his brother Gabriel who runs The Bakery." The agent replied not knowing what he had just said to her. At the words Kali froze. Gabriel was here. And he ran the bakery. Wait he ran the bakery? (Yep.)

"He runs the bakery? What's it called?" She finally managed to ask hoping that her tone carried just mild curiously and not the desperation with which she wanted to know. She knew of Gabriel's dreams. And she knew the name he had planned to use for his business. She needed to know if he had used it for this one. If that was why he had left her. Because in truth this was his dream not her.

"Just The Bakery. Serves the best pastries in the state. Or so my wife says." The agent replied completely oblivious to the turmoil running round his client.

"Yes I'm sure. I think I'll take the store. Thank you." Kali said without thought. Gabriel hadn't used the name. What did that mean? (Now that I think you ask him, don't you?)

"Excellent, if you come back to the office we can start drawing up the paper work." The cheery agent said as he smiled at her.

"Very well." And with that Kali and the agent left the store and Kali returned to her car to drive to his office. Refusing to think about the words that were echoing around in her head. Refusing to think of Gabriel Novak. She was here for business, not him. (You keep telling yourself that love. maybe we'll believe you, but I doubt it.)
