âWe have to go,â Gabriel says.
âWhy?â Balthazar asks.
Gabriel is holding a quiet child in his arms. âCastiel doesnât cry,â he says.
In the next room, something flies against the wall. They donât flinch. The baby stays silent.
âWe canât stay here,â Gabriel says.
Balthazar is quiet; and looks at Gabriel. âCastiel doesnât cry,â he says.
In the next room, the voices are getting louder. They donât flinch. The baby stays silent.
âWhere do we go?â Balthazar asks.Â
Gabriel looks at the window. itâs dark outside. âCastiel doesnât cry,â he says.
In the next room, something bumps against the wall. They donât flinch. The baby stays silent.
âCastiel wants to see the lights,â Balthazar says.Â
Gabriel takes Balthazarâs hand. âCastiel doesnât cry,â they say.
In the next room, there is screaming. They donât flinch. The baby stays silent. They are gone.
