Learn to Love

Chapter 2

It was now November, Castiel had gotten the product from New York moving throughout the States, getting it shipped overseas was difficult. The cops did a raid on Balthazar over in Japan and arrested him. Most of the product was taken after Balthazar got taken into police custody.

Castiel went and looked out his condo window, he saw the snow on the ground, he saw some snow flakes falling down slowly. He loved the snow, he always played in the snow when he was a kid, he always made snow forts, had snow ball fights and always enjoyed some hot chocolate.

Castiel couldn't call his father, fearing the cops were listening to his phone calls, he didn't even text his father. Castiel had to figure out how to make sure he didn't caught or raided by the police. He had to make sure to get rid of anything that could get him arrested or caught by the cops.

Castiel left his condo to go get food. Castiel put on his black jacket and his beanie. He walked out of his apartment and walked down the street, the snow had turned to slush.

The sounds of New York were loud, construction workers drilling or hammering, cars honking their horns, ship horns as people were heading over to see the statue of liberty, the sound of the waves crashing against the boat as it sails across with tourists, the wind whistling as it blows snow around.

Castiel arrived to Mari Vanna, a Russian restaurant. Castiel has a Russian background, his grandfather, Maksim Novak came from Moscow when he turned 22. Castiel's family was also religious, his father named him and his siblings after angels. Castiel found it hilarious that his family was religious and that him and his siblings were named after angels in the bible but yet they did illegal work for a family business.

5:25 PM

Castiel was sitting in a booth in the back of the restaurant, he was reading over the menu, he ordered his food and his beverage.

Castiel enjoyed his meal, it tasted like how his grandmother and how his mother used to make it when he was growing up back in Boston.

The food, the spices, the memories of his childhood, all coming back to him. After Castiel finished his meal, he went to pay, he completed the chef for the amazing food and left the restaurant.

8:45 PM

Castiel walked around, he walked to Central Park, he saw people walking, sitting on the benches, couples smiling. Castiel wished he had that but he feared if he fell for a girl, they would get killed just like his mother. Castiel had to keep his vow. He didn't want to fall in love.

As Castiel was walking, a girl bumped into him by accident.

Brooke: I'm so sorry.

Castiel: It's okay.

Brooke: I guess I was in my own world and didn't realize. Sorry about that.

Castiel couldn't help but let out a chuckle. He could see that the girl was nervous, he wanted to ask her name, maybe on a date, but he kept repeating the vow in the back of his mind.

Castiel: Like I said, it's okay.

Castiel watched Brooke walk away, he felt his heart race, he kept looking into her green eyes, they sparkled brightly almost like the stars at night.

Castiel's POV:

That girl, I want her to be mine. But I can't let her get close or she'll end up dead. I have to figure out my mother's killer first and the family business, no time for relationships. No time for falling in love.

9:15 PM

Castiel had arrived back to his condo, he got a text from his dad and now Castiel was terrified.

Text Convo

Dad: Castiel, we got bad news. Hannah got arrested in Australia. The cops raided her apartment and the warehouse where they keep the product.

Son, make sure to clear your laptop, phone calls and text messages. The cops could get you after!

Castiel knew this would happen, he had to be ahead of the cops, he had to check if he had any rats on his team. He knew who to call for help.

Dean: Hello?

Castiel: Hello Dean.

Dean: Hey Cas, what's new?

Castiel: Dean, I need help.

Dean: With what?

Castiel: I need help to figure out if I have a rat on my team. Balthazar and Hannah got arrested.

Dean: Sure, where are you?

Castiel: I'm in New York. I'll text you my address. Just be careful, my dad thinks the cops will get me next. Make sure you're safe same with your folks.

Dean: I'll make sure, I'll warn my dad too.

Castiel: See you in a few days Dean.

Dean: See ya Cas.

Both men hang up their phones, but what Castiel didn't know was that a Winchester was responsible for the death of his mother. The Winchester responsible? Henry Winchester, Dean and Sam's grandfather, the man who helped start his family business and Maksim Novak's family business.

Dean's POV: I know who killed Castiel's mom. It was my grandfather. The Novak's were making more money than us, my grandfather felt threatened and thought that killing Lilla Novak would make the Novak's weak, but it only made them stronger. My grandfather gave me the task to do the worst thing to my best friend... get him arrested.
