Damon kept Mr Thornburg's glass full. The old geezer were chatting non stop, but that's what he wants. To make the old crocodile drunk.
Dylan was laughing at the funny stories Mr Thornburg were telling from his days as a youth. All the naughty things he did.
Damon glanced at his wrist watch. He was sweating profusely and to top it off his jaws were hurting from pretending to laugh at the old man's lame jokes, but at least his son was having fun.
His phone vibrated and he looked at it. Finally the fucker is here. Damon thought to himself. "Gents you have to excuse me nature calls again." He said and smirked.
"Why don't you do it here? We won't look." Mr Thornburg said and laughed.
Damon felt disgust and bile in his throat. If Dylan wasn't here then who knows what would have happened to the old crocodile. Damon smiled and said. "People are swimming here. Son I'll be back then the three of us can take this baby out on the water."
...
Damon found Jack at the lake house. The two men stepped inside. Jack was a guy in his late thirties. Went through life quietly, but what people didn't know is that the he has a dark side to him that will keep many awake at night. Damon met him years back through Enzo and since then he and Jack grew some what close.
Jack looked at Damon with no expression on his face.
"I want you to get rid of her. Wipe all traces of her even being here. I don't care how you make it look just as long as they can't perform an autopsy on the body. She's behind the crates." Damon said and walked to the window.
Jack just nodded. He walked to where Sierra's body lay behind the crates and looked at the body. The lifeless eyes staring into nothing. He didn't see a person. To him this was his calling in life and he was good at it.
Damon walked out without sparing another glance back.
...
Damon was glad they were heading home and boy did Mrs Thornburg had a mouthful to say to Mr Thornburg. The old crocodile could hardly stand on his legs. Damon felt like laughing.
"Thanks dad for today." Dylan said softly.
"Don't ever thank me for doing what a father is suppose to do buddy. I have to thank you. Best day for me spending time with you and the old geezer." Damon said and smiled. He swallowed the bile back in his throat.
...
Damon and Dylan stopped in front of the Grants new home.
"Wow! Beautiful house. I can't wait to see Connor."
"Yeah it is. Let's go in." Damon said and opened his door.
It was a cheerful bunch they found inside. The grown ups were sitting in the big spacious living room talking and laughing. Fitz saw Damon and stood up.
"Damon" he greeted with a smile and a handshake.
"Mr President." Damon said with a smirk.
"Ill never get tired of hearing that." Fitz said and they both laughed. Damon hugged Olivia and said. "Hi Olivia how's it been?"
"Great thank you Damon. I can't wait to begin our new chapter here in your hometown." Olivia said with a smile. She noticed a small red stain on his white shirt and his hands trembled lightly. Unnoticed to the untrained eye.
"Its now your hometown too and welcome." Damon said and bowed. They all laughed.
A shy Dylan stepped out behind his dad.
"Wow! look how you have grown Dee. What do you and Connor eat?" Olivia said with a laugh and gave Dylan a warm hug. Fitz also hugged Dylan.
"Hey aunt Liv, hey uncle Fitz and welcome to Mystique Lake. Where is Connor aunt Liv?" Dylan asked with a wide smile.
"Still the sweet boy I remember. In his room let me take you to him." Olivia said with a warm smile.
"He hardly noticed me." Bonnie said and laughed.
"Well I do." Damon said and kissed her on the mouth.
"You and Dylan had fun at the lake?"
"Sure did and guess who joined us? Mr Thornburg." Damon told Bonnie about how Mr Thornburg got so drunk and the funny things he said."
Bonnie laughed out loud. "Shame on you Damon. The poor man."
"Where is Stephen?" Damon asked Caroline.
"He is doing house visits."
"That's my brother, saint Stephen." Damon said and rolled his eyes.
Bonnie bumped him in the ribs with her elbow.
...
Zoe, Sophi and Keira was sitting outside by the pool.
"So how was it at boarding school?" Sophi asked just to break the uncomfortable silence.
"Got kicked out." Keira said nonchalantly.
"Why?" Zoe asked.
"They caught me making out with the principal's daughter in the girls toilet. Which reminds me, do you have cameras at school in your toilets.? Keira asked with a raised brow.
Zoe and Sophie's jaws dropped to the ground.
"Pick up your jaws ladies. You should try it you might like it."
Zoe and Sophi were speechless.
"Do you two have boyfriends?" Keira asked.
"We don't care about boyfriends." Zoe said.
Keira scoffed and said. "Don't tell me you still play with dolls."
"No, we just don't care or worry about boys. We are perfectly fine single." Sophi said and Zoe nodded in agreement.
"Say that to yourself in a few months time in front of a mirror and try not to cry." Keira said to them.
Sophi chuckled.
"Where's Kenzie?" Keira asked.
"She's not feeling well. She said she will see you at school tomorrow." Zoe answered.
"Your sister must thank Jesus every day for her flawless light skin, blue eyes, full lips. A young model in the making but you Zoe, your the real package." Keira said and looked at Zoe.
"Do not talk such things about my sister." Zoe said upset.
"How sweet lil Zoe, don't ever lose that natural born goodness." Keira said.
"Come Sophi, let's go." Zoe said with eyes fuming.
