"What do you need, Your Majesty?" Meg asked, picking up the phone.
"Funny, Meg," you sighed, finally standing up and walking out of the Map Room. "I know where Crowley is."
"Perfect, give me the details," Meg said.
"He's in Ohio-"
"What city?"
"Before you go," you said, cautioning her. "He's with the Witch Rowena MacLeod and two well-known members of the British Men of Letters."
"Great," Meg sighed. "You gotta plan or do I need to come up with something?"
"Sort of," you said, leaving the Map Room. "There's just a bit of healthy chaos where I am right now."
"Give me the details," Meg said. "What do I need to do, Queen."
"Okay, fuck off with that," you sighed. "How do you feel about blackmail?"
"I'm a fan."
"I know where Crowley's bones are buried," you said, waving at Aleksei as he ran into the House of the Blessed. "From when he was human."
"Bitch, you do not," Meg said, not believing you.
"Well, I don't remember the exact location," you said, waving a hand. "But his name is Fergus MacLeod, died in Scotland in 1723 after making a demon deal. He's buried somewhere in Scotland but I don't know which village or graveyard."
"And that's where I come in," Meg added, you could hear her smirk. "You didn't think to tell Lucifer?"
"You know exactly how stubborn that bastard is," you snorted. "Lucifer won't accept help from his brothers, let alone his girlfriend."
"Alright, Queenie. Anything else?"
"I'm going to try and stay out of trouble but I don't want you without backup," you said, shaking your head. "Is there anyone you trust enough to help?"
"No."
"Wonderful," you sighed, rubbing the bridge of your nose. "Look, call me back when you find Crowley's bones. I'll try and figure something out by then."
"Time-sensitive?"
"Extremely."
"I should have the bones by noon, then," Meg said, not questioning you.
"Central Standard Time or...?" you questioned.
"CST," Meg confirmed. "Talk in an hour."
You nodded and quickly said goodbye, hanging up as you sighed. Aleksei took note of how stressed you looked and grabbed something that usually worked for him; a weighted blanket. Aleksei took that weighted blanket and decided to have some fun with you, throwing it right at your shoulders. You shouted as the weight hit you, knocking you off balance. You didn't fall to the ground but you did stumble as you started to laugh, catching the blanket as it started to slip off your shoulders.
"Very funny, Aleksei," you chuckled.
"I thought so," Aleksei shrugged, walking up to you and wrapping the blanket around your shoulders. "You looked like you needed this."
"This does feel nice," you sighed, holding the blanket around you. "Thanks."
"I also have one more thing," Aleksei said, wrapping his arms around you. "You're doing great."
"...thanks," you sighed, smiling as you returned his hug. "I kinda needed that."
"No problem," Aleksei said, letting you go. "Sometimes people just need a hug, right?"
