1912
Summer, 1912
Two men exit a Council Meeting at the Town Square, Sheriff Gerald Forbes and Zachariah Salvatore, heading back to their homes and families. "Will you get home all right, Mr Salvatore? I can send for one of the police vehicles," Gerald offers, looking at his friend.
"Oh, a winter chill never hurt anyone, Sheriff Forbes," Zachariah assures him, waving the kind offer away.
"I'm less concerned about the cold front, more for your safety," he argues, remembering what the meeting was about.
"One council man's murder doesn't make an epidemic, Gerald. Good night," Salvatore retorts, hiding his fear.
"Good night," Sheriff Forbes says, and Zachariah leaves and starts walking across the square, alone, when he hears a noise before he is suddenly stabbed and left to die alone.

Sheriff Forbes and Mayor Lockwood walk towards the Police Station, discussing the current problem. "The mystery is not going to get solved any faster with you yelling at me, Carol." Liz argues.
"We have two council murders and an attempted murder on our hands. If you have a suspect, it is your duty to keep me in the loop," Carol snaps, wanting to be kept in the loop.
"No, it's my duty to make sure I don't accuse an innocent person of being a serial killer." She retorts, not wanting a Witch Hunt if someone is innocent in their small town.
"Just, tell me who it is, Liz," The Mayor demands, but Liz ignores her.

Alaric wakes up in a holding cell inside the Police Station; he looks around as he hears footsteps approaching. He stiffly gets to his feet and sees Sheriff Forbes and Damon coming towards him, needing to talk to the suspect. "I didn't do it," Alaric denies for the hundredth time since Liz began interrogating him.
"You're arresting him for what this nut job Dr Fell says?" Damon questions, growing frustrated as he sees his friend inside the cell.
"No, I'm detaining him. The cell is for his own good. You were shot; Dr Fell used Vampire blood to heal you," Liz explains calmly, not taking either of what they say too seriously.
"Dr Fell is the one who shot me," Alaric argues, wanting out of the cell.
"Because you came at her with a knife!" She snaps back at him.
"Yeah, with a knife I had found hidden in her things!" He retorts, telling her.
"Are we gonna ignore the part where he is one of the killer's victims? I mean, the guy was practically stabbed to death," Damon argues, siding with his only friend.
