Sheriff Forbes laid the potatoes on the table. She looked up at her daughter coming down the stair and saw her tearstained face and her finger covered in ink.
"Are you alright , honey?"
"You , care?" She demanded.
"Of course I care Caroline. What is wrong?"
"Elena , oh that's right I should just be proud of myself! Are you proud of me? Really?!"
"Yes , I am." Sheriff Forbes approaches Caroline.
The police radio lights up behind her. Buzz. Suspect headed towards Fell's Cemetery. Victim drained of blood. No possible suspects at the time. Informer Damon Salvatore suspect's his brother Stefan is somehow involved.
"Oh , do you need to get that Mom ?" Caroline looks up at Sheriff Forbes and just hopes for once her mother can be hers for a day.
Sheriff Forbes looks at her daughter with concern ," You know I don't love you any less when I answer a call. But this is my job , I have to take it."
"But what about me? Aren't I your first job ? I came first!"
The lights go off on the radio again.
Caroline glares at her mother intensely hoping to burn a hole in her uniform with her eyes.
"What do you want from me Caroline?" Sheriff Forbes screams, " Am I supposed to quit my job?! There is nothing else for me to do in Fell's Church!"
"You know what fine ! Be every one's else mother. When you hear the radio go off again it well be Caroline Forbes GONE MISSING !"
Sheriff Forbes gave her daughter one exasperated glance as she slammed the door behind her. The roast beef began to burn in the oven. Caroline watched the smoke rise from the oven and left the house.
