everyone wants power

I wasn’t aware you had a sense of humor

I didn't expect you to still be in town after all of that. Why are you still here?

You watched that? Hm…they didn’t get my good side. There’s a better video of me somewhere around the internet.

I wasn't aware you had a good side.

You look for your crazy uncle but never your little sister? 

...Cora?

Why, you want the reward? 

Something like that.

I think he’s… over there? In the tree’s? In the air? In my socks? He’s somewhere?

Got any other useless information for me, Landon? Because I really love it when you waste my time.

I have no idea on where your creepy ass uncle is at.

Is that your idea of being helpful?

Yeah, took you a while.

I wouldn't have been much help if I came back before now. I'm not happy about having to leave either, but you know better than most that sometimes things are out of our hands.

You’re always busy with something else.

I'm here now.

I didn’t find out about it until after it had all happened. You were perfectly capable of getting off your butt and doing something, too, you know.

I was busy dealing with something else. 

Oh, it does. It just gets worse and worse, though.

So I've been hearing. Zombie weekend, huh? Kinda glad I missed that one. 

Fine.

Oh, I missed you Big Bad.

I think you've gotten even more delusional since I left.

Well, there was apparently a weekend where the dead came back to life. And I know that there were a few murders lately. And then a local girl was just attacked last week and admitted to the hospital with severe blood loss, apparently.

...And you've been worried about your grades?

I don’t know. Maybe you should leave again, and stay away for a bit longer.

I'm sure you'd still be a frigid bitch, though. Must be an Argent thing.

It’s kinda hard to explain. I’ve stayed out of it, but I know that people have been causing a crap ton of trouble. I’ve been busy trying not to fail any classes this year.

Well, it's good you're staying out of it but I'm gonna need a little more to go on than people causing trouble.

I doubt that.

I was keeping tabs. I made sure you were safe.
