Dean enters the library, bringing coffee to Sam, who's working on his laptop. "Anything?"
"Oh. Thanks. Not yet. I put out an APB to every single hunter we know. But...Jack's off the grid" Sam tells him.
"Kid was pretty spun out. We'll find him. I mean, there's gotta be a sign at some point, right?"
"Yeah"
"Kid can cause a tsunami with a hiccup" Dean says.
"I don't know. Maybe he's covering his tracks" Sam suggests.
Cas enters the room from the opposite side Dean did, "Or this apparent dearth of evidence is, in fact, the evidence"
"The evidence of..." Sam trails off.
"Of some horrific misadventure that's befallen him, like being dragged down to hell by Asmodeus. Or..." Cas sighs, "I don't know, possibly worse, being hijacked to heaven by angels"
"Yeah, but isn't he too fast and furious for angels?" Dean asks, trying to assure her.
"Maybe. Maybe not. That's what I'm gonna find out" Cas tells them.
"Find out from who? From – from the angels?" Sam asks.
"Yes"
Dean stands up, "All right. Well, let's go"
"Dean, you can't accompany me. My contact is already anxious about meeting and won't speak in the presence of a stranger" Cas stops him.
"So introduce me. Then I'm not a stranger. I'll bring a six-pack" Dean insists.

"Dean, I swore I would protect this boy. Let me do this" Cas walks toward him, giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking away.

"Don't do anything stupid" Dean reluctantly sits back down with Sam as Castiel leaves.
