Dean ordered pizza for his younger brothers, but was unable to eat. His thumbs hurt due to texting Jo like a maniac. She accompanied Cas to the hospital. God Bless the petite spitfire. Jo remained glued to a sticky plastic seat in the waiting area. The young Harvelle had never witnessed Bobby Singer being so exasperated. The man barged into the hospital's information booth asking about his son's condition. The receptionist calmed him down, by stating Castiel was having his vocal chords checked. The boy had a fractured rib.
Jo wearily approached the auto shop teacher. She lightly tapped him on the shoulder. "Mr. Singer, Cas will be ok."
Bobby sighed and turned around. He dropped his gaze. "Jo, I didn't see you."
"I understand. Cas was responsive in the ambulance. He was having difficulty speaking. Alistair, the douchebag choked him pretty bad."
"Where the hell was everyone else while this happened?!" Bobby removed his trucker cap and wiped sweat from his forehead. "My boy could've been killed by that little creep!" The receptionist rolled her eyes and shushed Bobby. He looked at her sheepishly.
"Fer, Ion and Dean tried stopping the asshole, but he went psycho. Thank God the Sheriff appeared at the car wash and managed to bring Alistair down."
"That rat bastard is gonna pay for hurting my son." Bobby swallowed hard.
Jo smiled at the older man. "You want a cup of coffee?" The sixth text from Dean came in.
Bobby said yes to the coffee offer. Jo nodded and walked down the corridor, which led to the cafeteria. She texted Dean what she heard the receptionist explain to Bobby.
Fer, Charlie, Peyton, Gabe and Crowley entered the waiting area. The teens said hi to Bobby and asked how Cas was faring. The old man told them his son's condition. He thanked Fer for helping his son. "How did the brawl begin? Cas, the idjit knows better."
Charlie and Fer took turns giving the mechanic all the details. Bobby was astounded upon hearing Alistair sent John the strip club video. "That punk is Satan's kid. I am so pressing charges against him. He's screwed since Mills witnessed him choking Cas."
Jo returned with a cup of steaming coffee for Bobby. He thanked her. She remained with her classmates, while Bobby headed to speak with the receptionist. An hour later, Bobby was informed Castiel was being admitted overnight for observation. He shared the news with the kids. Once Cas was settled in a room with a grouchy middle aged man, who emitted noxious gas; Bobby allowed the kids to see his son for a few minutes.
Gabriel and Crowley handed him a Yo Mama Jokes book. Charlie and Peyton brought his iPod for him and Jo informed the blue eyed teen that Dean was a nervous Nelly. "I'm sending him the last text of the night now." She pecked Cas on the cheek and waved bye at everyone. Her mom was waiting for her in the hospital's front entrance.
Bobby scooted everyone out, except for Fer. He snuck in a burger and shake for his best friend. Bobby assisted Cas in adjusting the hospital bed to a comfortable position. Castiel took a huge bite. "Down boy...your throat is still sore!"
Cas chewed slowly. It did bother him to swallow. Fer presented the chocolate shake to him. Castiel moaned after taking two sips. "Thanks," he whispered in a raspy voice. Fer smiled.
"Boy, with all of the drama today; I haven't been able to give you the great news." Bobby scooted a chair closer to the bed. Fer turned off the TV.
