[notwitty]

A lot.

[He pulls out her phone and shows her the group chat and whatever information Stiles provided.]

Possibly everyone.

[moralitypolice]

That means --

( She doesn't hesitate to call Elena, then, finally letting out a breath she'd been holding in the entire time. )

[notwitty]

[Elena is just getting off the phone with Dean when Bonnie tries to call, so she gets her voicemail. When she sees the missed call, she'll send a text back:

I'm fine. Katherine and I are heading out of town. Are you okay?

In turn, Isaac is going to head to the car and fish out a first aid kit for Bonnie's shoulder.]

[moralitypolice]

Now I know there's a list and we're all on it because you texted you were with katherine with a straight face

We're fine

We were all ambushed

Weirdly? Not my worst first date. Where are you?

( Ryan steps back, surveying the scene.

"Damon was 'trunked' and tranked?'" )

[vampireboulevard]

Apparently he was also attacked at the Grille. Lindsay was there, though. He's on his way to help.

[Caroline shakes her head. What a night.

Elena texts back the ping that Sam sent her. This is where we're heading. The Winchesters have a bunker.]

[moralitypolice]

( Not his favorite person, but they need help with cleanup. )

I didn't take the Winchesters for survivalists.

( She tries not moving her shoulder while texting so Isaac can get to work on her first aid.

She speaks up so Isaac, Caroline, and Ryan can hear her. )

Elena and Katherine are on their way to a location the Winchester brothers sent them. It's in Kansas.

[vampireboulevard]

Well, that sounds like a road trip from Hell.

[Sorry not sorry Katherine, you're not Elena's favorite person.]

Are we going to Kansas?

[moralitypolice]

Danny.

( She doesn't know, they need to make tracks. But, one name is loud and clear in her mind.

Bonnie finds her dropped bag and her phone, dialing.

While Lizzie Facetimes, Danny's phone rings from wherever it is. )

[undermyfeet]

[Danny shifts away when Lizzie gives him the room, rolling over onto his stomach as he grabs his phone.]

Did you wind up on a weird internet list too?

[moralitypolice]

Yes. Me and Caroline. Isaac. Ryan.

( She can rest easy for the time being, eyes closing. )

Hunters tried to take us out in public. We're okay. Where are you?

[undermyfeet]

With Lizzie. Do you know if any of us are on it?

[Because the twins are looking to find out.]

Apparently Klaus called Hope to spread the news, but we're not sure how far the list goes.

[moralitypolice]

( She wants to not be having these conversations. Being attacked, being kidnapped. This is her life. )

Isaac didn't mention any of you, but I'll ask. Were the kids on there?

[undermyfeet]

[Isaac turns and shrugs, before checking his group text again. "Stiles said: 'Guys, you've been doxxed. Addresses, age, pictures for some of you. Mystic Falls, too.' He didn't say anything about the kids, but I'll ask."

Which he will. Into the text box goes: What about the Salvatore students?

Danny sighs.]

Let us know when you find out. We're trying to figure out what next moves should be.

[moralitypolice]

( And he will get a, Not that I know of, none that I met. Caroline was, though. And Ryan.

Not that he doesn't already know that. )

Caroline has a lead on somewhere safe but it's up in Kansas. I know we have to get moving. Do you want me to come get you?

[undermyfeet]

[Isaac glances over and shakes his head. "Doesn't seem like the kids are on it, as far as Stiles can tell."

Danny hesitates, glancing back at Lizzie and not wanting to give an answer right away.]

Not sure. I don't want to leave Lizzie alone, just in case.

[moralitypolice]

You're not on it. None of you are.

( Maybe the younger generation was spared. Or Danny came into his own too late for the list to be updated. Either way, another sigh of relief comes. )

You're old enough to decide. We're leaving shortly. Or, if you want, I can have them drop me by. I promised you I'd be there for you. Hunters won't stop me.

[undermyfeet]

[He'll tip to the side to pass that off to Lizzie before turning his focus back to his guardian.]

You should go. It'll be safer. I'll text you once I know where I'm landing, but if we're not on the list, we'll probably just keep behaving accordingly.

[Meaning he'll follow Lizzie to New York, and hopefully things will stay calm for them.]

[moralitypolice]

If you need me. Tell me. Any time. We can astral project once I land.

( She and the others. She says her goodbyes and tells him how proud she is of him. )

He's safe. They all are at the school, but if we're on this list than yours and Ryan's affiliations with the school are out there, too. Should we - Kansas?

( Ryan, quiet and laconic, looks to Caroline. )

[vampireboulevard]

We can.

[Kansas is certainly an option. One that Caroline isn't entirely sure she wants to take, because being stuck in a bunker with Dean, Sam and Katherine isn't really a step she wants to take.

She glances over to Isaac.]

Does Stiles need a hand in DC?

[Isaac shrugs. "I can ask?"]

[moralitypolice]

And there's also anywhere else. Ryan's from California, right?

( "Chino, California," he clarifies. Not somewhere he'd want to go back to. "Newport Beach after that," he relents. He hasn't been back since his transition, only on Facetime with Seth and Summer and their kid. And the calls to Sandy and Kirsten. To Julie. ...Taylor. )

What are our options and what are they fast. Kansas. D.C. Newport Beach.

[notwitty]

We could head overseas again.

[Not that he wants to be back on Europe time again, but it is one of the options.]

I think William is heading back to Star City. The Underground has a cell in Baltimore, they could keep us under the radar.

[But while he's rattling off options, he'll text to Stiles:]

Do you need back up in DC?

[Another pause.]

There's also always Beacon Hills, still California. No one will be looking for me there.

[moralitypolice]

( For what? Did I miss something?

Sorry, Isaac. Probably not. )

But, everyone will be looking for... Scott there? And you're affiliated? What do you think, Caroline? Where would you go?

[vampireboulevard]

Me?

[She's not really the runner. While she has contacts outside of Mystic Falls, most of them are school related, and she doesn't want to bring this down on the students.]

I don't know. Where do you think they'd be least likely to look for us?

[A beat.]

Probably Kansas.

[moralitypolice]

Probably... Kansas. And aligning with the good hunters, and one close to Elena. Do we have a better move?

( It's not Ryan's call, so he waits. )

[vampireboulevard]

[She shakes her head before glancing to Isaac.]

Not that I can see. You?

[He makes a face. "My best option is spending way too much time with Jackson Whittemore, and that's one reunion I'm not looking to have. Kansas works for me."]
