"So all three bartenders are dead, some idiot confessed to Katherine's crime, and we have no more information than we did yesterday," Damon stated. "What's the new plan?"

"There isn't one," Stefan responded. "We can't do anything about it. If we try and find her, then she's just going to kill more people. We have to wait for her to come to us."

"Yeah, but who knows when the hell that'll happen," Damon responded, clearly not impressed with his brother's idea. "And she's going to keep killing people whether we look or not. Have you considered that maybe she killed all the bartenders because we're getting close to finding something out? How did she know that we were asking them? Was she following you? Or did she have a lackey doing it for her? Obviously she had someone watching, so maybe next time you could pull your head out of your ass and figure out who so you can use them to get to her."

"No one was following me, Damon," Stefan argued. "I'm not stupid, I watched."

Much to Dean's' surprise, Damon seemed to immediately accept that answer and not assume that his brother had missed something.

"Well, if that's true, then the lackey would have to have been in one of the bars close enough to hear what you were saying," Damon said beginning to smirk.

"There was no one close enough for a human to hear except for the three bartenders. And I would have noticed if there was another vampire in there," Stefan responded, his facial expression changing as he figured it out. "It was one of the bartenders."

"Great, she already killed her lackey," Damon said sarcastically. "So that leads us nowhere."

"Not necessarily," Sam spoke up. "She's going to get a new one. Who's to say that the replacement won't be a new bartender at one of those places?"

"That's way too obvious," Dean argued.

"Which is exactly why she's more likely to do it," Sam pointed out. "Because we'd expect her to be smart enough that she wouldn't get someone who works at the same bar. It's where she'd least expect us to be looking."

"He has a point," Damon responded. "And chances are that she doesn't have someone yet. If we put people at all three bars then we might be able to find her."

"And do what?" Elena asked. "It's not like we can kill her in public. And what if she shows up at the bar that doesn't have either of you two-" She gestured to Stefan and Damon. "She's hard enough for you two to fight together. We'll just end up getting one of us killed. It's a stupid plan."

"So is just sitting here and waiting, Elena," Damon said shooting her a look.

"I didn't think it was a bad plan," Came a voice from behind him.

Before Dean could even turn around to look at the source of the comment, Damon had already ran over there and was holding Katherine against the door by her throat.

Katherine looked down and gave Damon a predatory smile.

"You smell a lot like that hunter," She commented, pointing towards Dean with her chin. "Funny, I would have expected Stefan to be the one to sleep with a hunter. Especially when it's a guy."

Katherine reached for her neck and casually removed Damon's hand as if he were a small child.

"I don't know why you're sleeping with that one. This one's much prettier," Katherine said as she smirked and stroked the side of Sam's face.

Sam slapped her hand away and Katherine seemed to allow this, even though she easily could have kept her hand there.

"I like you," She said, sitting on the side of Sam's chair.

Dean thoroughly death glared at her.

"What's your problem?" Katherine asked him.

"You, bitch," Dean responded.

"It's so cute how they think they can hurt me," Katherine said, turning her attention towards Stefan. "Why are you still looking for me, I thought that the message I sent last night was pretty clear. Or do I need to kill your girlfriend before you get it?"

"Or maybe I just kill you first," Damon threatened.

"And there it is," Katherine said, turning her attention back to Damon. "Damon jumping at the opportunity to be the hero for his brother's girlfriend. Still hoping that just maybe if he saves her one more time she'll finally choose him instead. I wonder what your boy-toy thinks about that."

"I already knew," Dean said, causing Katherine to arch an eyebrow. "Just like I know all about you. Does it make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside screwing with them, making sure that you ruin every time that they get along. It was bad enough when you were banging them both, but then you turn them both and leave pretending to be dead. And as soon as they finally put their differences aside over a century later you show up again just to fuck up their lives some more. And now you're back again. How desperate for attention are you?"

"I think that the real question is how desperate are you? You call yourself a hunter, yet you're screwing a vampire who's in love with a girl that he sees every day. A girl that he will always care more about than he'll care about you. How desperate for attention does that make you?" Katherine asked.

"Leave him alone," Damon said sternly. Everyone in the room, including Dean, turned to stare at him in confusion.

Damon immediately regretted saying that. But he'd just been pissed off enough that his brain hadn't stopped his mouth in time. He'd heard Dean's story and in many ways they were similar people. Damon knew Dean's pain and he didn't want anyone messing with his human.

His human? Where the hell had that thought come from.
