[It's quick and clean, the fluid motion of someone who is designed, trained to be a weapon. It's really just a shame that no one can see it. What they can see, is the moment where blade meets flesh and slides through to the other side.

Red spills down the front of his shirt, knife protruding, before Cade finally collapses to the ground. Lindsay lets him go, and Liv lifts the spell so that they can see the Slayer again, now with blood on her hands. She moves closer to examine the body, making sure he's dead, but before she can get too close, the body explodes and she finds herself stumbling back from the flames as Cade turns to ash.]

I guess that answers if I got him.

( Damon zooms to catch Liv, Bonnie shields her eyes. The ash rises leaving nothing behind. )

A little anticlimactic, but I'm not going to complain. You okay?

So far so good?

[Were they expecting some kind of weird backlash for murder.]

You? You were psychically connected to the guy.

[unforgivably]

Lighter, maybe?

( Maybe? He doesn't know. )

I feel great. Liv? ( currently in his arms. )

["Fine." Liv catches her breath and steps back. She doesn't need that much physical contact with Damon.]

Good job, team.

[Lindsay glances over to Damon.]

Want to head back and check on your brother?

[unforgivably]

( Damon eyes Bonnie who steels herself, taking a breath. There is nowhere else to go. She's avoided enough. Damon does end up dropping her off back at home on the way. He can confirm Stefan has his humanity, but that's the extent of what she can handle. He's alive. And himself.

And Enzo is dead.

Damon takes everyone else back to the station. It's over.

(Not.)

The other shoe drops a few days later, when Kelly Donovan shows back up. But, that's a story for another time. For now, the devil is dead. )
