"Where were you?" Sam asked as Ruby entered into Matt's kitchen.

"Out Sam." she said looking him in the eye.

"Out where?" he said raising his voice slightly.

"Scenic Mystic Falls." she said sarcastically.

"I needed you." Sam said in a hushed voice pushing her toward the back door.

"You said when we first got here that whatever you had on you was all you needed." Ruby said as he pushed her out of the door.

"I thought...look, are we going to do this or not?" Sam asked his voice still hushed.

"Fine." Ruby said getting in her car.

Dean and Cassie arrived back at Matt's house and as they were walking across the yard they heard a voice.

"Hello." it said. They both stopped in their tracks. They didn't recognize the voice but it demanded respect. They turned slowly and behind them was a tall dark man in a designer suit. "Dean Winchester, you need to come with me."

"Who the hell are you?" Cassie questioned.

"I am Fin Mikalson." he answered.

"Well, it's nice to see you again, Fin." h1e said as he and Cassie inched backward toward the door.

"Again?" Cassie asked, her eyes locked on Dean's.

"Yeah, I met Fin here at a bar before I headed here. He and his brother are a couple of dicks." Dean answered.

"You need to come with me, Dean." Fin said again.

"Ah, thanks for asking but I don't swing that way." Dean joked as he and Cassie stepped onto the stone step in front of Matt's back door.

"This is not a joke. My mother needs you." Fin said taking a few strides toward them.

"Pass. MILFs aren't my thing." Dean said with a crooked smile as he heard Cassie open the door. "Sorry Fin, tell your mom I said thanks but no thanks." he said as he stepped over the threshold and into Matt's kitchen. Before he could shut the door, Fin was standing in the doorway.

"Your jokes will not protect you, Dean." Fin said angrily.

"Yeah well, they've saved my ass this far. Why fix what's not broken?" Dean said as he pushed the door shut.

"Who the fuck was that?" Cassie asked when Dean turned to face her.

"I'm guessing Fin Mikalson." Dean replied.

"Dean."

"Look Cassie, I know what you know, alright." Dean said as he headed back toward Matt's room. He entered the room and when he noticed he was alone, he turned the radio up loud and pulled out his cell phone.

"Hello?" Bekah answered.

"What the hell is going on?" he barked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your brother, Fin was just here, telling me that I needed to go with him because your mother needed me."

"Damn. I'm sorry Dean. He must've followed me." she told him.

"That's just fucking awesome Bekah. How am I supposed to focus on the case I'm working if there's a vampire out there trying to kidnap me?"

"I'm sorry. What can I do?" she asked.

"I don't know. Elena Gilbert's brother is missing and that is my priority right now. My shit I can handle later." Dean said plopping down on the bed.

"Jeremy is missing?" she questioned.

"Yeah. We're pretty sure he got taken but we're still looking for solid answers."

"I'll see what I can find out. I'll call you soon." she said.

"Awesome." Dean said to himself as he laid down on the bed and drifted off to sleep.

"Thanks." Ric said to the guy behind the bar of the Mystic Grille as he handed him several white paper bags. Getting a grip on the bags, Ric exited the grille and began to stride across the darken parking lot. As he walked through the shadows in the single shining light sat a familiar car, Ruby's car.

He hadn't realized that Ruby had left Matt's. He thought for sure that Damon had her under lock and key.

"I'm gonna head to the grille and get dinner." Ric had told his best friend.

"Yeah, alright." Damon said, his eyes locked on something across the room.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ruby."

"Why?"

"Because I can smell the untrustworthiness on her." Damon said with a quirk of the lips.

"Right." Ric said.

"I'm serious. There is something about her I don't trust, so there is no way that I'm gonna just ignore that."

"I understand. If you need me to do anything, let me know." Ric said pulling his keys out of his pocket.

"I will." Damon said with a crooked smile.

So, it was shocking to him as he sneaked closer to the car he saw Ruby inside with Sam. He knelt down behind the car closest to them and kept in the shadows. Ric was thankful that the window was cracked, he could hear everything.

"Are you sure about this?" Ruby asked.

"Yes Ruby." Sam said annoyed. "I'm not going to say it again."

"It's ok, Sam. I just want to make sure that this is what you wanna do."

"I know. I'm sorry. It's just I didn't really get it before, you know."

"Get what?"

"Why it has to be me." he said. "Dean gets so emotional about things and he leaves rather than fight. This isn't just a regular case and at the end of the day finding Jeremy won't matter if I can't kill Lilith."

"I get it, Sammy. I do." she said as she caressed his cheek. Ric watched as Sam nestled into it. He watched as Sam reached down somewhere he couldn't see. Suddenly, his eyes were assaulted by something glistening in the lamplight. When Ric's eyes refocused he realized that it was small knife that Sam was wielding. His breath hitched when he saw Sam put the knife to her throat. Ric made a move to stop Sam from killing her until he realized that Sam was only sliding the knife across her skin enough to draw blood. "Go ahead. It's ok."

Ric was taken aback as he watched Sam slide his tongue up her neck toward the cut, catching all the blood that was gliding down her neck. He watched at Sam began to suck at the wound he had created. He pulled out his phone and sent a text message to Damon.

Get alone. We gotta talk.
