056. sick kid

They're waiting in the hallway while Cas is in Jack's room and trying to figure out what's wrong with the Nephilim who had coughed blood and passed out earlier.

"What's taking so long?" Dean asks.

"I don't know. Whatever's going on with Jack is probably complicated." Sam says.

"Yeah, but, I mean, weird stuff happens to kids all the time. They get coughs, bloody noses." Dean says.

"Yes, but kids are also, usually, fully human. He's half angel, who knows what kinda shit comes with that?" Miranda points out.

After a couple more moments, Cas walks out.

"Is he okay?" Miranda asks.

"I--I did what I could, but I don't... I-I don't know what's wrong with him." Cas says.

"But you can figure it out, right?" Dean asks.

They hear a crash from Jack's room, all rushing in.

"Jack?" Sam rushes over to where Jack is lying on the floor. "Jack? Hey. Jack!" The boy starts foaming at the mouth.

They're are the ER and are at the front desk. Cas is holding onto Jack's arm to keep him up.

"Look, could you just get him inside?" Dean asks the receptionist.

"Sir, I just need some basic information. That's the procedure. I do the work up, then I take him back." The woman states.

"It's an ER. You don't just take them back? It's an emergency -- hence emergency room." Miranda snaps, her grip around Wyatt tightening as her annoyance increases.

"Okay, the basic information is he's sick." Dean says.

"Do you see anyone here who isn't?" The woman asks. Miranda moves Wyatt out of the way and walks up to the counter, but Sam holds her back. "His full name, please." The woman demands. "You do know his name, right?"

"Jack." Dean says.

"Kline. Jack Kline." Miranda informs.

"Date of birth?" The woman asks after typing his name in.

"Come on. Is that important?" Dean asks.

"What did you say your relationship is to the patient?" The woman asks.

"May 18th." Sam says. "Date of birth -- May 18th."

"2000 -- '99." Dean says. "2000." He decides on.

"Smooth." Carly whispers to her uncle who glares at her.

"Uh-huh. Family medical history? Let's start with the father." The woman says.

"He's dead." Dean states.

"Cause of death?" She asks.

The family share awkward looks, not sure how to answer.

"He was stabbed through the heart and he exploded." Cas states. The three adults give him 'what the hell' looks.

"Okay, you know what? We don't have time for this. All right, he's sick. His name is Jack Kline. His father exploded. There, you've got all the basics. Now what does he need to do to see a doctor?"

Jack crashes to the floor.

"Jack." Cas calls, the group surrounding him.

They rush back with the nurses as they wheel Jack on a gurney.

"It's all right, Jack. Hang in there, buddy." Sam says.
