there's something due any day

The graduation itself. Big, quiet blowout. No underage drinking. Very not Mystic Falls.

You'll have to be more specific, Linds.

[patrols]

I was referring more to the accident that wasn't 100% an accident and the mysterious warehouse fire out in the woods.

1/2

[unforgivably]

You know, that's what happens to warehouses that stand the test of town. If a warehouse in the woods doesn't burn down, was it a warehouse in the first place?

[unforgivably]

We had a rogue hunter problem. Two tactical groups of rogue hunters. And a kidnapping.

But, we saved graduation

[patrols]

[If this were in person, she would have let out a low whistle. All that, sneaking around under her nose.]

At least there's that? I would hate to think how big a mess it would have been if all those supernatural parents had to get involved.

[unforgivably]

To be fair, none of our usual suspects did the doing. A witch living under the radar killed the hunters off the interstate. And an Original hybrid took out hunters guarding the factory.

( He's going to conveniently leave Stefan out of the picture. )

We also have FBI here on sabbatical if you need any red tape cleared. His name's Stiles. He never stops talking.

[patrols]

There are feds involved? Feds deal with supernatural stuff now?

[That doesn't sound real, but she's never heard the name Stiles before and she's totally going to look him up.]

[unforgivably]

One fed. He's a walking coincidence. He shouldn't have been here.

[patrols]

But he's still here now? Is he being a problem?

[unforgivably]

He's enrolled in new vampire school.
He may have died off the interstate. Those hunters t-boned Caroline's car.

[patrols]

I need a drink.

[How does this town do this. A vampire fed. That's a new one.]

[unforgivably]

He's already dick deep in everything supernatural so it's not like it's culture shock. He brought with him this werewolf pack we're now sort of working with.
Other bright side, some great real estate was snapped up

[patrols]

How fortunate for the Mystic Falls real estate agents.

[At least someone's benefiting from all of this.]

Keep me in the loop if something else comes up, okay? You know where to find me if you need me.

[unforgivably]

I will do better.

[patrols]

Thank you. Anything I should know about the new pack in town? Should I do a drop by to introduce myself?

[unforgivably]

They're young, like, early thirties late twenties young. But, they do good. And we have a banshee, now, so you might be able to stop a murder before it happens

[patrols]

Always a plus. I do love when I can prevent a murder rather than solve one.

[It's way less depressing.]

[unforgivably]

But, sometimes that scream's on delay.

I also might have a date. I'm wearing her down. That sounds a lot less gallant in this day and age.

[patrols]

Only if you don't know for sure that she's playing hard to get. Some girls still do find that a viable flirting tool.

[She doesn't. She doesn't really have the time to beat around the bush.]

[unforgivably]

She is actually.

[patrols]

Then I say have fun with it. You wouldn't want it to be too easy for you, after all.

[Then he gets bored way too fast.]

[unforgivably]

Yeah, I got over the sorority girls back in the 2000's.

[patrols]

And now you're trying to woo a walking, talking death omen. Clearly that shows growth.

[unforgivably]

An impossibly intelligent, wildly attractive death omen. On sabbatical at MIT.

Lot of sabbaticals going on.

[patrols]

You know, there are all kinds of studies that say we're working too hard. Good for them.

[She should probably take their advice, but what is time off.]
