SEASON EIGHT - EPISODE NINE "THE SIMPLE INTIMACY OF THE NEAR TOUCH"
...Bar...
Damon is in a bar, holding his reminder of Elena, Esther's Talisman, between his fingers. Stefan walks through the door and he quickly puts it away, as he brings in a body.
"What'd he do?" Damon asks, not really caring.
"Speeding. He's yours if you want him" Stefan offers.
"I have a drink, thanks" Damon dismisses.
"Suit yourself" Stefan says.
He bites the man and begins to drain him dry. Once he's finished he tosses him over the bar on to the floor behind the counter. Stefan seems to have satiated his hunger.
"Ah...you're distracted" Stefan rolls his eyes.
"Oh, yeah? And your standards are dropping. You can't tell me Cade gets out of bed for a midlife crisis on a motorcycle" Damon snaps.
"Cade's work takes time and this is how we pass it" Stefan says.
Damon's phone rings. Stefan notices the call is from Sybil.
"Don't answer that!" Stefan points at his phone.
Damon grabs the phone and answers it.
"The evil lackey you are trying to reach is no longer at your service" Damon snakily says.
"There's that Damon sense of humor I miss. Where are you?" Sybil asks.
"Oh, you know, different city every night. Salvatore brothers world tour" Damon shrugs.
"I'm gonna need to ask you a favor, do you still have that iron ball that you scooped up off Peter Maxwell?" Sybil asks.
"Yeah! So?" Damon frowns.
"So, I'm gonna need you to pause your murder spree of brotherly love, drive to Mystic Falls, and deliver me that ball. If you're nodding, I can't see through the phone. So what do you say, Damon? Yes? Or yes?" Sybil questions.
Stefan mouths 'no' while shaking his head. Damon can't resist.
"Hm...I'm on my way" Damon says.
Stefan is confused.
"I'll text you details!" Sybil says, clearly pleased.
Damon hangs up.
"What are you doing? We work for Cade now. We're done with the Sirens" Stefan says.
"I know, but every time I try and tell her no, my mouth says 'yes'" Damon says.
Stefan grabs a bottle of alcohol and pours it over past the counter, where he threw the dead body earlier.
"You know, maybe a trip to Mystic Falls...is exactly what we need" Stefan says.
"It is?" Damon frowns.
What the...
"You know want to know why you're so distracted, Damon? It's because that woman is still in your head. Hm?" Stefan questions.
He flicks open a lighter and tosses it over the over, setting ablaze a mound of bodies that stack counter high.
"And we are going to burn her to the ground" Stefan smirks, gulping the whole shot.
