It was the first time Damon and Bonnie saw each other since Bonnie had ‘cured” Damon.
“Caroline’s not home” Bonnie said, a little distant.
“I’m not here for Caroline” Damon replied. “I need to talk to you”
“Okay” Bonnie frowned. “Come in”
Damon entered the house and Bonnie guided him to the kitchen. Sheriff Forbes wasn’t home.
“What, eh,…what do you need to talk about?” Bonnie asked slightly nervous.
“Do you know a guy named Keith?” Damon asked, as he sat down, following Bonnie’s example.
Bonnie nodded. She didn’t see why she would deny it. “Yeah, I met him in the clinic, why?”
“How much do you know about him?” Damon continued his interrogation.
“I know he saw something horrifying a few years ago and that that’s the reason why he needed help” Bonnie answered slowly. “And he had a friend who’s…different, but she died”
“Did he tell you who that friend was or how she was different?” Damon kept asking.
“No” Bonnie said. “Damon, what are you trying to tell me? If there’s something I need to know, just get it over with. Talking cryptic is only waste of time”
“Katherine was ambushed last night, by Veronica Chambers” Damon started to explain. “Veronica is a bitch who thinks she can decide who gets to live and who doesn’t. She’s convincing people to join her army and she’s going to kill us all”
“What does Keith have to do with that?” Bonnie asked confused.
“I’m getting there” Damon responded. “When Stefan and I went back to get Katherine out, we saw Keith talking to Veronica. I couldn’t hear what they were saying, don’t ask me why, I have no idea. But I compelled Keith to tell me and here come’s the interesting part” Damon waited and caused some kind of dramatic pause. “Keith begged Veronica not to hurt you, because you’re not a witch anymore and you’re human. Veronica agreed, but in exchange for your safety Keith has to extradite Caroline to Veronica”
Bonnie stared upset at Damon. “But…I don’t get it. How does Keith know Veronica?”
“I don’t know yet” Damon answered. “But Derek told me Veronica knew Kelsey and so she knows Kelsey’s mother Rachel and now Stefan’s trying to get Rachel on our side so she can tell us things only she knows”
“I’ll talk to Keith. Maybe, if I confront him, he will tell me the truth” Bonnie suggested.
“You can try, but I wouldn’t count on it” Damon said not very hopeful. He stood. “I owe you a thank you” he said slowly. “Your tea, it’s working. Elena’s getting better”
“I’m really glad to hear that” Bonnie responded.
Damon turned around and walked to the front door. He opened and walked outside. There he turned around again.
“What is it?” Bonnie asked.
“Just…be careful, alright?” Damon said, before he turned around and went away.
