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.)

[imnot_likeyou]

Do you know if he's the one who turned her?

[It would make sense, if they're traveling buddies.

From Bela: What a lovely coincidence. Would you like to have lunch? A real one, this time, hopefully without any party crashers.]

[moralitypolice]

I don't, but to be honest, when would she have been turned? I can tell you if the dates match up.

( But that's all she can do. She can only play both sides until she puts a foot down.

To Bela: About that party crasher. Guess who's in Mystic Falls now.

And, sure. Danny might skip it, he has enough time with me, but, you can count me in. )

[imnot_likeyou]

Her deal was up in 08, so probably around then?

[From Bela: His husband is there currently. Makes sense, but good to see he's retained his cockroach tendencies.

Lovely. I'll send you the reservations.]

[moralitypolice]

Then I don't think so. He was traveling with his brother then and their main priority was either finding Katherine or Elena, not turning Bela

( To Bela: It might be nuclear winter soon, but he is playing nicely.

Perfect. )

[imnot_likeyou]

That's good at least. But they're close enough to be traveling together and I'm not looking to pick a fight with an Original right now. I'll deal with my brother.

[As best he can, anyway.

From Bela: Going a little stir crazy, I assume?]

[moralitypolice]

Deal with him, Sam. Because I will put him down.
You know what I mean. She's a friend and she's helping.

( He could try FaceTiming, but Dean's getting an earful from Elena. Bonnie expects as much.

To Bela: lol Well, Scotland doesn't exactly get more interesting, but, no. I meant with Ezra and David. They have a truce with Elena, but Elena has also been betrayed before.
She's also betrayed before, but for good reason.
I'm just worried
We're doing good, hopefully. I don't want anything to muck it up

Like Winchesters, she doesn't say. She was close, though. )

[enjoythe_ride]

[That's the second time in as many weeks that Dean freaking out has lead to him being threatened by someone, and Sam is not a fan of the trend but he'll leave it at that.

I'm on it.]

David is generally speaking a man of his word. If he makes a truce he intends to keep it. It's simply a matter of the other members of the coven forcing his hand.

[moralitypolice]

( Sam and Dean have both been there, Sam... more than Dean. )

What do you know about his positioning in the coven? Elena makes it sound like David's not looking at it longterm.

[enjoythe_ride]

David is the only son of Joshua and Regina Gainor. They're two of the most powerful elders in the coven. In theory, when they die, he'll inherit their ... stake in the company, so to speak.

[moralitypolice]

So, he has every reason to keep that stake. But, if he doesn't... believe in what the coven does anymore, then he holds out.

[enjoythe_ride]

The problem with a wheel that's been turning as long as the Colony has is that you can't break the wheel without causing a massive amount of damage. Unless you have a incredible army on your side, you need to dismantle it slowly.

In David's opinion, the best way to do that is from the inside.

[moralitypolice]

It sounds like he knows what he's doing. I don't like that it now involves Elena, and has always involved my nieces, but, it's better than not having any leads.

Speaking of. I feel like I should say something, in the spirit of coincidences.

[enjoythe_ride]

Yes?

[moralitypolice]

Along with Monroe's hunters crashing graduation, there were two others who passed through town right before. Well, during. And they're still there.

Dean and Sam Winchester?

[enjoythe_ride]

[She can read between the lines the moment she sees the name. Her eyes close as she mutters a soft:]

Damn.

[Then, back to Bonnie:]

He's not hopping on a plane, is he?

[moralitypolice]

Sam's talking him down?

And Elena says he doesn't even like planes.

You really did a number on them.

( And next to Bela, Elijah looks up from his book.

"What is it?" )
