The Salvatore Home
Bonnie came home from Liv's place and quickly started with dinner. Zoe played with the twins in the living room.
Alex came home. Justin with him. They found Bonnie in the kitchen doing dishes.
"Hey mom. Someone I want you to meet." Alex said behind her.
Bonnie turned around and smiled. "Hi you must be Justin?"
Justin nodded and said. "Hi Mrs Salvatore. I don't think I can thank you enough for inviting me into your beautiful home and family. This is for you." Justin said and handed Bonnie a bouquet of white roses."
"Thank you. Their beautiful Justin." Bonnie said genuinely pleasantly surprised with this kind gesture.
"And I didn't even tell him that white roses are your favourite. He picked it out himself."
Bonnie smiled and said. "Alex go show Justin his room."
Zoe came out of the living room with the twins in her arms.
"And this is my little green eyed sister. Such a tragedy, so young and already a mother of two babies." Alex said and smiled warmly at Zoe who blushed.
"You know I'm just babysitting them for you. Such a tragedy, so dumb and already a single daddy of twins. Which reminds me when are you paying me for looking after these cuties?" Zoe said and raised her brow.
The three of them laughed.
"Justin this is Zoe. Zoe, Justin."
"Hey Zoe." Justin greeted her. Finding the green eyed girl refreshing.
"Hi Justin."

Dylan heard Alex and Justin's voices and closed his door.
"Your room." Alex said to Justin when they stepped into the spacious dream bedroom.
"My room? Like my room alone?" Justin asked astonished.
Alex smiled and said. "Look I'm going to leave you to settle in. You can come down whenever your ready."
"Thanks Alex." Justin said.
Alex nodded and left.
"I don't know if they run the rules by you." Dylan said behind him.
Justin turned around and smiled. "Hey Dylan was wondering where you are."
"Why?" Dylan asked suspiciously. "Look we don't allow any weapons in this house and we don't have a safe where we keep all our gold and money. My dad have a gun and I know how to use it. I'm a light sleeper any suspicious movements from you and I'll shoot. What's in that big suitcase by the way? Do you have an axe in there?"
"Dylan? Is this how we treat our guests? Justin is now a part of this family . So please behave." Bonnie said behind him.
Justin bit his lip. The boy is funny.
"Its okay Mrs Salvatore. No harm done. I would probably have acted the same way as Dylan if I was his age."
"More blankets Justin." Bonnie said.
"Thank you Mrs Salvatore."
Bonnie walked out. Before Dylan left he mouthed the words. "I'm watching you" to Justin.

Antwone walked Kenzie home.
"I really missed this place." Antwone said. His eyes on the mountains surrounding Mystique Lake.
"I don't know if I will miss it when I leave one day. Not everyone wants to settle here. There is a world out there Antwone. Life does not stop at the four corners of Mystique Lake.
"True, but in a way we all come back in the end. All the children of ML when we can't find what were looking for, maybe for you it will be different. You have the will and the potential to conquer the world. Jet setting the world on fire. Queen of the runways."
"What makes you think I want to be a model?"
Antwone laughed. "Just teasing Ice." Ice is Antwone's fond nickname for Kenzie.
He lightly bumped Kenzie and said. "Penny for your thoughts."
Kenzie just smiled.

New York
Damon was busy in his office when his secretary said that a woman is here to see him.
Damon sigh. "Send her in."
The woman came inside. She looked like a scared little animal. Her clothes old fashion and too big for her.
Who the fuck is this? Damon thought to himself.
"Mr Salvatore I'm Laurna, Sierra's sister." The woman said in a shaky voice.
Damon felt the bile rising in his throat. "My condolences for your lost. Sierra will be greatly missed. She was one of my best. Is there anything I can do for the family?"
"She left me a letter. She said she is coming home for a while. She's bringing something precious with her. Please Mr Salvatore find the one responsible for doing this to my only sister she didn't deserve to die like this."
Damon just wanted this macabre to come to an end. "I will do everything I possibly can to help the police bring your sisters killer to justice."
"Thank you Mr Salvatore. Your a good man."
Damon was sitting deep in thought after Laurna left.

The Salvatore Home
Dinner was pleasant. The children asked Justin about London. His childhood, family. Dylan wanted to know if he did any time in juvie. He still thinks Justin is carrying an axe in his suitcase. When Dylan went to his room he warned the others to lock their doors.
Bonnie was in the kitchen busy with the dishes when Justin came in.
"You shouldn't take Dylan seriously. His blessed with a very vivid imagination."
"I've noticed. His in my room snooping around. He thinks I have an axe in my suitcase." Justin said and laughed.
Bonnie laughed and said." I need to have a word him."
"Please don't Mrs Salvatore. Let him be at least he will see I've got nothing to hide." Justin took a dry napkin and started to wipe the plates.
"Justin you don't have to help me."
"I want to Mrs Salvatore and besides I want to give the little spy enough time to do his inspections." Justin said and laughed.
Justin looked at Bonnie indiscreetly. Alex's mom is really beautiful. Mr Salvatore is a lucky man to have a precious jewel like her.
