Jeremy entered the building and walked straight to the training room. He found Veronica, talking with someone on the phone.
“Jack, you’re going to be so proud of me” she 说 with a slightly trembling voice. “I promise that when 你 get here there will only be humans left”
Jack 说 something in return.
“Of course I’m careful. I’m not going to fall for anyone. They took away the only person I ever cared about and they will pay for it. And anyone who’s trying to stop me, will go down with them…I have to hang. I will see 你 real soon”
She hung up, turned around and gasped, almost dropping her phone.
“What are 你 doing here? I wasn’t expecting anyone” she faltered. Jeremy had caught her off guard and she hoped he hadn’t heard too much.
“You’re the one who 说 we’re training all 日 long” Jeremy pointed out.
“Yeah, well” Veronica panted. “I suddenly figured that 你 all have jobs and…and school, 你 know?”
“School’s over now” Jeremy reminded her.
“It is?” Veronica asked confused.
“I was sort of hoping I could stay here and practice a bit” Jeremy 说 slowly. “My sister Elena is having chemo. It’s a really difficult time right now”
“I imagine” Veronica replied and Jeremy detected a whiff of compassion. “Okay, 你 can stay here. I’ll go home”
Jeremy waited until he heard the door close.
“Jenna, can 你 hear me?” he called.
“Loud and clear, captain J” Jenna joked and she appeared 下一个 to him. She was holding a collection of letters, tied together with a piece of rope. “I’ve done some reading” she said, pleased with herself and waved the collection. She handed it to Jeremy, who put it in his inside pocket.
“Who’s Jack?” Jeremy asked curious.
“Ahh, Jack” Jenna commented. “Good old Jack…Honestly, I have no idea, but she calls him every 日 and then tells him how it’s going. I’m starting to think he’s her boss 或者 something”
Jeremy shook his head. “Veronica doesn’t have a boss. She acts on her own” he replied convinced.
Veronica opened the door of the building again. She realized she’d forgotten her letters. She wasn’t going anywhere without them. She walked towards her private room when she heard Jeremy talking. At first she thought he was on the phone with someone, but when she heard her own name, she became curious and came closer. Close enough to see he wasn’t on the phone.
So, he was either talking to himself…or to a ghost. Veronica was so furious she forgot about her letters, she headed straight back outside and slammed the door.
“What was that?” Jeremy startled. He looked concerned at Jenna. “Do 你 think…?”
“I think so, yes” Jenna nodded dark.
“Jack, you’re going to be so proud of me” she 说 with a slightly trembling voice. “I promise that when 你 get here there will only be humans left”

Rachel stroke her fingers through her hair. “Oh my God. What have I done?” she mumbled agitated. “Think, Rachel, think” She looked around. Then she grabbed Gabe’s feet and dragged him to the farthest corner.
She ran to the stairs and went to the 厨房 where she searched the drawers for matches. In her panic she forgot she had been living here for about twenty years and the matches lay in the 秒 drawer 下一个 to the cupboard underneath the sink ever since. She pulled it open and grabbed the matches. Then she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of Malt Whisky. She ran back downstairs to the body. She opened the bottle of Malt and poured its content over the body. Then she stroke a match and let it fall down and watch how Gabe went up into flames.
As she watched him burn a sudden agony fulfilled her body and she dropped the bottle. She fell down on her knees and felt her body contracting and convulsing while she screamed.

The 下一个 morning
Damon and Elena were lying asleep when someone rang the bell. Elena was fast asleep, so Damon sneaked out of 床, 床上 and put on his pants from the 日 before.
“Hurry up, Damon. 你 don’t want her to bleed to death, do you?”
Damon groaned as he recognized Rebekah’s voice. He walked to the door and opened it and Katherine fell in his arms. She was bleeding from her neck and Damon looked up shocked at the blonde Original, who smirked at him.
“What happened to her?” Damon wanted to know.
“I happened” Elijah answered, stepping forward. “Can we come in?”
“No!” Damon 说 rude.
“I was merely being polite. Of course we can come in. This house is being hosted 由 vampires, whom cannot possible deny the admission to an Original. So, why don’t 你 step aside? We’ve got things to do, plans to make, wars to prepare” Elijah 说 as he walked past Damon.

“Can I come in? This talks so…weird, 你 know. And if Veronica sees us…” Stefan 说 warning.
“I’m not afraid of Veronica” Rachel 说 in such way it sounded like she meant the opposite.
Katherine was dragging Gabe’s corpse to the backside of Rachel’s house. She couldn’t get inside the house, so she opened the window to the basement and pushed Gabe’s body inside. She held his shoulders and let him down carefully. When she thought it was 安全 she let go. The corpse fell on the basement floor, mute for a human ear, but as Katherine heard the thump, she figured Rachel would’ve too.
“Damn it” she mouthed. She stood and looked around. Rachel was nowhere to be seen and from what Katherine could hear, she was still listening philosophized to Stefan. If Rachel had heard anything, she sure didn’t suspect anything.
