Thea was still sat at the table with Bonnie and Caroline in the Grill in Damon's subconscious, munching on a plate of fries whilst the three tried to make sense of the Salvatore's head. "I mean it's weird, right? If I built a world in my own mind, I would make it a happy place, unicorns required," Caroline began, stealing one of Thea's fries earning a scowl from the brunette as she hit her hand away.

Caroline rolled her eyes before continuing with what she was saying, "but Damon killed Vicki, so why would he want her hanging around?" Thea shrugged, continuing to eat her fries as Bonnie watched Vicki critically, watching her every move. "She's leaving, c'mon. Let's follow her," the witch stated as she began to stand from the table, watching as Vicki made her way to the entrance of the Grill.

Thea whined in disapproval, not wanting to leave her fries causing Bonnie to roll her eyes. "I don't think we're the only ones working this case," Caroline suddenly stated, her tone soft and sad as she stared across the Grill, finding her mom sitting at one of the tables, "I forgot how pretty she was," the blonde smiled sadly.

Thea sighed sadly, pushing the fries away from her as she placed her hand on Caroline's arm, "I'll tell you what, me and Bon will talk to Vicki, you go talk to your mom," the hybrid insisted with a sympathetic smile as Bonnie nodded her head. Caroline looked between the two brunettes in disbelief, shaking her head sadly, "no, she's not real, you guys," the blonde denied as she began to munch on Thea's fries.

Bonnie smiled sadly at the blonde, "I know. But if I were you, I'd still have some things to say," the Bennett witch stated as Thea stood from the table, the two brunettes following after Vicki as they left Caroline to speak with her mom. "Hey, Vicki, wait up!" Bonnie called as she and Thea jogged slightly to catch up with the older woman.

Vicki rolled her eyes as she turned around, stopping in her tracks, "what's up, Bennett? You need more ketchup? I'm off the clock," the Donovan woman retorted in annoyance, her expression one of irritation. "You haven't seen Damon Salvatore, by any chance, have you?" Thea asked, stepping towards Vicki who sighed in annoyance, shaking her head in refusal.

"No. Gotta go," Vicki replied as she turned on her heel and began walking away from the two girls once again. Bonnie and Thea both frowned, the hybrid growing more annoyed, "are you sure? Maybe he had something to do with that bandage on your neck?" the Bennett witch pushed causing Vicki to stop once again.

"Ok, so now you're officially pissing me off. So, why don't you come out and say what you really want to say," Vicki snapped, glaring at the two girls in front of her. Bonnie frowned, looking rather offended by the older woman's bitterness as Thea just rolled her eyes, having grown used to it over the years she had known the brunette.
