why can't things that are good, stay good?

ECHO STOOD TO the side while Damon had a traveler tied to a chair as he sprayed water in the man's face to wake him up. "Wakey wakey. Mr..." He taunted then grabbed an ID tag from the traveler's shirt and read it, "Sikes.. Head of corporate accounts."

Echo snorted, taking a sip from her coffee cup. It was the second one already it was only like eleven in the morning.

The traveler struggled against the bounds, trying to speak. But, there was cloth around his mouth, stopping the guy from saying anything.

Damon grinned smugly. "Oops. Sorry about that! Yeah. Can't have you mumbling any of those annoying traveler ditties. It's a sure migraine. So, here's the deal. My brother and my friend have both been kidnapped by travelers and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I mean, like, poof, gone. Right. So besides a completely clueless hybrid in my basement and a cave full of sleeping travelers, I've got nothing to go on except you. So I'm going to need you to tell me where I can find your leader, Markos." There was an angry, murderous twinkle in his eyes as he stared down at the traveler,

Echo stepped forward threateningly. "And you better tell us without any trouble or else you'll see what I'm capable of." The front door opened and she spoke up without looking behind her, "What's up, babe?"

"Liv and Luke aren't answering any of my.... " Caroline trailed off when she noticed who Damon had captive in his living room. "Oh my god! Mr. Sikes?"

Damon finally looked over at her with an expression of confusion. "You know him?"

"Yeah! He helped me open my first savings account! He gave me a lollipop," she answered saying the last sentance slowly like a small child.

Echo chuckled while sipping her coffee and Damon rolled his eyes at the blonde vampire. "Well, unfortunately, Mr. Sikes here is occupied by some low-life traveler. I saw him and his buddies chanting in the town's square last week," he explained to her then turned to Mr. Sikes. "I also know that Markos and your traveler comrades are planning some big, flashy spell to undo some super-boring, ancient, witch curse. And where that sucks for us; it just happens to undo all witch magic, i.e. kill, me and my sexy blonde frenemy here."

Caroline nodded to herself and walked towards the Traveler with a stern expression. "If you know where Markos took Elena and Stefan, you need to tell us."

Mr. Sikes then began to mumble but it was unheard through the binds.

"Yep. Sorry. You're going to have to speak up," Damon mocked the traveler, knowing fully well he couldn't speak with his mouth restrained. "Hmmm. Nope. Didn't quite catch that either." He picked up an object and pierced his leg with it, causing the traveler to mumble in pain and Caroline to cringe at the sight.
