009. SIX WEEKS

Cas, Mary, and the teens are in the bunker, Cas having informed them that Sam and Dean got arrested. The teens are sitting at the map table while Cas stands at one end, Mary standing at the other.

"You left them." Mary states.

"No, I... Dean told me to go. The woman--"

"The one you lost?" Mary asks.

"I didn't. I... I thought that she--"

"Stop making excuses." Mary cuts him off again.

"Stop blaming him for something that isn't fault." Ophelia snaps.

"Why... if they needed help, why didn't they call me?" Mary asks.

"Oh, I don't know. Maybe it has to do with the fact that you answer your phone, what? Once a week?" Ophelia remarks.

"How did we let this happen?" Mary asks.

"Can't help you." Crowley states.

"Come on, Crowley. The police took them. You have people in the government. You have spies." Cas states.

"I do. But whatever's happened to Moose and Squirrel, apparently, it's above their pay grade." Crowley says.

"Do you even care that they're gone?" Cas asks.

"No." Crowley answers.

"Oh, come on. Really? After all the time you've spent gallivanting the country with my dad as a demon, you don't care?" Ophelia asks.

"Nope." Crowley shakes his head making her glare at him. "Do you know how many all powerful beings have tried to kill them?"

"Roughly, yes." Cas says.

"As do I. I was bloody one of them. Sam and Dean? They're like herpes. Just when you think they're gone... hello! The boys are back. Leaving a trail of bodies in their wake. So wherever they are, whoever has Sam and Dean, well... in the immortal words of Lawrence Tureaud "I pity the fool."" Crowley imitates Mr. T.

"Your dads will be be just fine, darlings. Believe me." Crowley tells the girls before leaving.

They're at a bar that Mary had asked Cas to meet her at. Mary and Cas are sitting at the bar while the teens sit at one of the tables nearby.

It's been six weeks since Sam and Dean got arrested, the girls reacting in different ways. Ophelia is getting snappier while Libby is getting quieter.

They ordered food, mostly since Nathan made them, knowing they barely eat. Ophelia managed to eat half of her macaroni and cheese, mostly just sipping on her soda.

Libby hasn't touched her plate, the chicken tenders and fries untouched. Nathan finished his food, glancing worriedly between the two girls.

Nathan grabs a fry and holds it up against Libby's mouth. The girl looks at him.

"C'mon, Libs, you gotta eat something. You're gonna kill yourself if you don't." Nathan says.

"Human body can go a long time without food. As long as she drinks water." Ophelia states.

"Not helping." Nathan whispers to his girlfriend who carelessly shrugs.

Nathan sighs, turning back to the younger girl. "Libs, come on. You want some pie? I can go get you pie. You can have all the pie you want."

Libby doesn't say anything, just picking at her already chipped nail polish. Nathan frowns, wishing he could help both of them.
