Amelia made sure Jimmy was fast asleep, before she snuck out of the room and tiptoed to her daughter’s bedroom. She turned the key and opened the door. Claire was sitting on her bed, her arms wrapped around her legs.
Amelia walked into the room.
“Are you okay?” she asked concerned.
Claire shook her head heavy. “No. Dad’s totally nuts. He’s been gone for years and now he thinks he can throw around insults like he owns the place”
Amelia sank down on the bed. “Your father has been through a lot. Castiel made him suffer and he couldn’t be with us, his family. I think it would be a good idea if he went to see someone. Like a therapist, someone who can help him deal with the past”
“I’m not crazy”
Amelia and Claire turned to the doorway, where Jimmy was standing.
“I know, darling” Amelia replied careful and she walked towards. “But it would be good for all of us. I’ll go with you”
Jimmy shrugged and turned around. He walked to the stairs and went downstairs. Amelia and Claire followed them. When they were downstairs the sino rang. Claire walked up to the door, but when she wanted to open it, Jimmy stopped her.
“Wait” he called. He walked to the window and moved the curtains. He recognized the two men, but the woman was unfamiliar to him. “Sam and Dean. They’re friends of the angel” Jimmy mumbled agitated. He looked at Claire. “Get out. Go upstairs, go outside, I don’t care, but get out”
Claire walked away, but instead of leaving, she went to the living room and conjured her iPod. She put the earphones in her ears, but didn’t turn on the music. She wouldn’t miss a word.
The sino rang again and Claire saw a women peeking inside.
“Wait here” Jimmy continued to Amelia. He ran to the cozinha and opened a drawer. He pulled out a faca and ran back to Amelia. Amelia’s eyes bulged and she backed away. “Open the door. Don’t tell them where I am and don’t say you’ve seen me”
He pressed himself against the mural behind the door and held the faca against Amelia’s side.
Amelia opened the door and faced the Winchesters. Claire moved on the couch, ready to absorb every single word.
“Hi, you probably don’t remember us” Dean spoke. “I’m Dean, this is Sam and that’s Meg” he said with a nod at the blonde woman.
“No, I know you” Amelia commented nervous. “Why are you here?”
“Eh, well, it’s kind of complicated” Sam now said. “We’re looking for Jimmy. We have reason to believe he’s here”
Amelia cast a quick glance at Jimmy, who remained invisible for the Winchesters. He nodded encouragingly and Amelia turned back to Sam and Dean.
“Last time I saw Jimmy was when that angel possessed him”
“Yeah, see, that’s where it gets complicated” Sam continued. “Cas is not an angel anymore. He’s human now and apparently Jimmy has been fighting Cas to regain control over his body, which he did, but now Cas is stuck in there”
Oh dear, Jimmy had told her the truth. The angel was still inside him. She remained quiet for too long; she felt the faca stung in her side.
“You mean like Jimmy has been stuck for years?” she quickly recovered. “I don’t really see the problem. It’s Jimmy’s body”
She started to close the door, but the blonde chick put her foot against it.
“Here’s what we’re going to do, Barbie. You’re going to tell us where we can find the jerk that’s keeping Cas hostage and then maybe we won’t tear you to shreds. How’s that for a deal?”
The blonde chick was obviously the girlfriend, Amelia realized, as Dean pulled her away.
“My apologies” he mumbled. “She’s a little on edge”
She’s not the only one, Amelia thought bitter.
“I don’t know where Jimmy is. And I wouldn’t let any of you go near him” Amelia said trembling. She felt the point of the faca piercing in her flesh and failed to keep a straight face. “Please, just go. I can’t help you”
She closed the door and turned terrified to Jimmy.
“You did absolutely perfect” he smiled and he withdrew the knife.
