Hello all. Seemed I could get to a computer after all. I would like to thank lemonofweirdness, KnightAngel13 and Hllo-Beastie for the great reviews. I would also like to thank those of you who have followed and favoured since my last update. You are all great.
So here's the next bit. I hope you like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Supernatural.
It was 10 minutes to 9 on Tuesday morning and Dean was pacing up and down outside Rufus' office. He had called Sam, Bobby and Ellen yesterday evening to get their help on his plan and all had agreed. Now all he had to do was persuade Rufus to help as well and then he would be all set. As long as Charlie could do her part. Dean was nervous. He was nervous that his plan wouldn't work, he was nervous about what his plan actually consisted of and he was nervous that Rufus won't help him. In fact he was so busy being nervous he didn't notice his boss come up behind him. (Oops.)
"What you doing skulking outside my office Winchester?" He asked making his way round the startled Dean to unlock the door.
"I was hoping that I could have a words Sir." Dean answered once he had recovered.
"Course kid. Come in." And with that Rufus gestured Dean through the door and into one of the seats on the opposite side of the desk to his comfy leather office chair. Well he was the chief, he deserved some perks in his mind. (So true.)
"So what do you want to talk about?" He asked once they where both seated.
"Well actually Sir. I was kinda hoping to ask a favour." Dean replied nervously.
At that Rufus sat back him his chair looking at Dean. Now normally his policy was never to do favours for any of his staff. He didn't play favourites and he wasn't going to change that for anyone, not even the kid he had known since he was knee high to a grasshopper. So his response to Deans request was going to defiantly be no. But, he remembered the conversations he had had with Bobby and he wondered if this favour had anything to do with Deans relationship with Castiel. So instead of an outright refusal he decided to find out what it was before he refused. (Good plan. You know you really do want to help Rufus.)
"What kind of favour?" He asked.
At that Dean let out the breath he hadn't known he was holding. He was over the first hurdle. With that he proceeded to tell Rufus everything, from his relationship with Cas to its end, to his plan to get him back.
Once Dean finished talking Rufus just started at him. The plan was terrible, it was all kinds of crazy. It was without doubt the worst plan he had ever heard. And it was typical Dean Winchester. If it was any of his other officers in front of him asking his assistance with this plan he would say no cos it was only going to end one way. In a crash and burn. But this was detective Winchester, and he might just be able to pull this off. With that he realised he had made his decision.
"Fine Winchester I'll do your favour. Now get out of my office and go do some work. Fitzgerald was swapped with paper work yesterday from your day off. Go make up for it now." And with that he turned to the files on his desk.
Dean couldn't believe he had got his bosses agreement. But he had. With that he nodded to Rufus and left his office, making his way to his desk where he sat and tried really hard to concentrate on the work in front of him and not what he had planed for later that day. (Oh I do love it when a plan comes together.)
Charlie had spent her time since Dean's call trying to think of how she was going to achieve that which she had agreed to do and had come to the realisation that she was going to need help. It was for this reason that on Tuesday morning she walked into the bakery looking for Gabriel.
"Hey Charlie what's up?" He asked from behind the counter where he seemed to be reading some catering magazine.
"hi Gabriel. look I need your help." She replied taking a deep breath. She didn't think getting Gabriel's help would be easy she just hoped he didn't refuse without first hearing her out.
"Oh with what?" Gabriel asked with a smirk, wondering what she was up to now.
"Dean has a plan to try and win Castiel back." Charlie said in a rush, hoping that if she got it out quickly enough Gabriel wouldn't register what it was she had just said.
"And?" He asked after he had worked out exactly what it was that Charlie had just said.
"And he asked me to help him." she continued looking up at Gabriel with worried eyes as he narrowed his at her.
"And are you?" Gabriel asked evenly. he wasn't going to take out his anger at Dean out on this slip of a girl.
"I'm trying." Charlie replied honestly.
"Why?" Gabriel asked incredulously. He couldn't understand why anyone would help that dick.
"Because they're perfect together." Charlie argued at him. A fact that yes he could concede, but Dean had still hurt his brother and he didn't deserve Castiel.
"Yeah whatever what's this got to do with me?" He asked crossing his arms.
"I need your help." Charlie replied with a pleading smile on her face.
"So what your asking is for me to help dear old Dean-o to get back with my little brother after he has broken his heart?" Gabriel asked sarcastically. Really? She expected him to help?
"Look its not like that-" Charlie started to say only to have Gabriel interrupt her.
"Its not? then how is it Charlie?" He demanded.
"I'll tell you everything I know if you'll agree to help once I've finished." She bargained with him. Gabriel narrowed his eyes at her before he replying. Two could play that game.
"How about you tell me everything and then I'll think about helping."
"Agreed." and with that Charlie shared Dean's plan with Gabriel, who after hearing it and groaning out loud did eventually end up agreeing to help Charlie achieve her goal. (Yeah, looks like everyone is on board now. Hmm, just a case of finding out what it is Dean-o wants everyone to do don't you think? See ya next time my lovely's.)
