[There are multiple moments where Sam looks like he's typing something and stopping and then typing something again and then stopping again and eventually he settles on:]

Are you sure?

[moralitypolice]

She doesn't like new people, she barely met with me a few months back. And she fully rebuffed David for even crashing. She's secretive, Sam.

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah, we've met.

[He's reeling Bonnie, sorry he's not being more helpful. But he will immediately text his brother to fill him in:]

Bela Talbot's alive.

[moralitypolice]

( from Bonnie ) Met how. Like, met met? You know Bela?

( from Dean, as a forkful of something completely misses his mouth as he checks his messages. ) Not Bonnie's contact

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah. We crossed paths back when she was human.

[And then, to Dean.]

Yeah, Bonnie's contact.

[cholesterol]

My grams knew her when she was human. I didn't.

( and then, from Dean, first out loud )

You've got to be kidding me.

( he takes a big swig of his beer before typing furiously. )

what Sam Raimi freak dragged her out of Hell

[imnot_likeyou]

[To Bonnie:]

We thought she was dead. We had no idea she turned ... probably for good reason.

[Then to Dean:]

Not exactly. Someone turned her into a vampire.

[moralitypolice]

To be fair, she did die. You really know Bela.

[imnot_likeyou]

Yeah, she shot me once. Stole my brother's car. Stole some other stuff. Sold us out to a demon that wanted us dead.

[A pause.]

We weren't really what you would call close.

[moralitypolice]

You'd be surprised how many times that brings people together in Mystic Falls.

For the record, I knew she was bad news. But, it doesn't sound like she does that anymore. She sounds more like Indiana Jones than whoever kept betraying Indiana Jones.

[imnot_likeyou]

Becoming a vampire doesn't usually bring out the best in people.

[Well. Caroline Forbes exists, but he thinks she's the rare exception.]

[moralitypolice]

You've met Caroline?

I'm not saying she isn't the exception. I'm just saying, I thought I knew her reputation and it wasn't almost killing Sam Winchester.

What do you want me to do?

[imnot_likeyou]

My brother wants a meet, but I'm not sure that's a good idea. Do you know where she is?

[Because if it's somewhere they have to travel by plane to get to, maybe it'll test Dean's resolve on the matter.]

[moralitypolice]

Last time I checked? Europe. But, that was a few months ago.

( and to Bela: Hey, are you in the States right now or across the pond? )

[imnot_likeyou]

Don't tell me if the answer is otherwise. That'll slow his rage spiral down enough to get him to at least think it over.

[From Bela: Heading to Prague. Elijah has plans to see his niece. Why?]

[moralitypolice]

She's in Europe.

You should know, she's also traveling with Elijah Mikaelson.

( To Bela: Danny and I are meeting Isaac Lahey there this week, too. Looks like we'll be in the same city again. I also have time on the books with the girls. I think their whole class is going

Easy to derail the 'why' for now.)

[braveandstupid]

[Looks up in concern from the movie and frowns.]

What's wrong?

[cholesterol]

Whatever happened to people staying dead?

( he asks Elena of all people as he texts Sam. )

You're saying I was a Hellhound's chew toy and Bela Talbot got away scot freakin free

( he sucks in a heated, tense breath. )

Bonnie's contact is some chick who betrayed Sam and me too many damn times. And she should be dead and buried

[braveandstupid]

This is Mystic Falls.

[But not his point, moving on.]

That doesn't sound like a good thing.

[Sam texts back: Technically, I don't know how she died. She could have just had vampire blood in her system when the hounds got her.

Sam, you're not helpful.]

[cholesterol]

( Not at all his point. )

She can't be trusted, Elena. She'll leave you for dead if that means she gets her pay day. Sam ran on some supernaturally bad luck and almost died because of her. Not to mention how many times she ripped us off or double crossed us. She made this deal, sold her soul. She should be being tortured by red-eyed demons.

( Not buddying it up with Elena's BFF.

A vampire gets torn apart in transition they don't wake up sewn back together, Sam. Bela Talbot got fucking away. And now we're on HER side? Get her number, Sam.

Better yet. Make a meet. )

[braveandstupid]

[Elena is not going to tell Dean how to feel about this woman given, well, Katherine. But she can't help but be concerned about her best friend.]

Is Bonnie going to be okay?

[Because Elena has priorities and they are Bonnie Bennett's well-being.

Meanwhile, from Sam: Are you sure that's a good idea? We don't know who turned her.]

[cholesterol]

No. Bela's got her number, it's only a matter of time. How'd she even get involved with that banshee.

( Vampire.

Meanwhile, to Sam: What does it matter who turned her? She was turned. And she has Elena's best friend in her pocket? You and I both know Bonnie is six degrees from being dead Kevin Bacon. Less.

You think this is a coincidence? )

[braveandstupid]

[THAT DOES NOT MAKE HER FEEL BETTER, DEAN. So she is also going to pull her phone out and start texting her best friend:]

I don't know who this Bela person is, but Dean is freaking out. Are you okay?

[From Sam: It matters because if she was turned purposefully, I don't want to piss off whatever vamp cared enough about her to keep her around.

And I don't know what to think of it. I'm still trying to process all of this, same as you.]

[cholesterol]

( WELL SORRY, THIS IS BELA.

Bonnie to Elena: I'm trying to handle it. Apparently, she really screwed Dean and Sam over? I promise, Elena, her reputation isn't this damning.

And to Sam: Dude, I'm not going to murder Bela. She's the key or whatever to stopping one sister from sponging up the other.

But does he believe him? He white knuckles his phone, though. )

She's - she's not good news, Elena. Any humanity I ever saw in her, she never hesitated in screwing us over. Stealing our weapon. Setting whatever thing we were after on us. And we saved her life, Elena. But, does she care? She pulled a gun on Sam.

[braveandstupid]

I believe you.

[Or she at least believes that he has his reasons not to trust her. But Bonnie is a big girl and she can take care of herself. So she texts her back:]

Just be careful, okay? I know you can take care of yourself, but I still worry about you.

[From Sam: Yeah, but that doesn't mean you won't shoot her a few times for fun.]
