Biggerson's Restaurant – Day

Santa Fe, New Mexico

Castiel sits at one of the tables, looking at her watch. A waitress, Kara, comes up and refills her coffee cup.

"I guess I've been acquiring the taste" Castiel says.

"Yeah, the coffee's not too bad here"

"You know, I remember when you first discovered it. before you started brewing it, you'd just chew the berries. Folk tale is true, by the way, you learned it from the goats"

"Uh, been on the road a long time, huh?" Kara asks.

"Feels like I've been on the run forever"

Kara exchanges a look with the man behind the counter. "Uh, I'm sorry, miss, but you're gonna have to order more than coffee if you wanna keep the table"

"Of – of course, um" She glances at the menu "I'll have the smart-heart beer-battered tempura tempters"

"Of course. Coming right up" Kara walks off. There's a buzzing noise and Castiel's coffee cup starts to shake.

"They're getting closer" Castiel comments.

A nearby waiter, Perry, looks up. "What's that, chief?"

Castiel disappears.

**********

Perry is on all fours, looking underneath the table Castiel was sitting at. "I swear to god, Lance, the girl just disappeared"

"You on that crack again, Perry?" Lance asks.

Two angels appear and observe them.
