Airway court

The judge looked back and forth from Marty and Damon, in disbelief. "You two were fighting over headphones?"

"Yes" Damon responded as if this were a very reasonable and normal thing to fight about on an airplane, and freak out a whole plane full of passengers. The judge reviewed the paper work, and began this long boring speech, about ethics, and choosing your battles….Damon stopped listening and instead turned his head to look over at Bonnie who was sitting beside the air marshal shaking her head at him.

He gave her a look, and she shrugged her shoulders understanding what he was going to do. She was in Rome and wanted to get her vacation started so anything that got them out of here quicker was fine by her.

Damon then leaned over looking at the judge holding his gaze, "you don't actually think this is important. Your going to forget this pointless case and let us all walk away….no fines or charges" , Marty was staring at Damon like he had saw him transform into a werewolf. "Dude are you trying to Jedi mind trick the judge?"

Suddenly the air marshal looked at the judge's glazy eyes and was about to walk over when Bonnie said a spell mentally and he was frozen in his tracks, and in time. Marty then looked from Bonnie and Damon. The judge suddenly cleared his throat, "I think this case is pointless I will not charge you all with anything nor will I give you fines, you may leave"

"why thank you" Damon said as if he were surprised. Damon then looked over at Marty who was speechless still keeping the corner of his eye on Bonnie who was now standing beside the frozen air marshal.

"you don't remember any of this, your going to leave and continue your trip in Rome. You don't know me, nor do you know her, he said pointing at Bonnie". Marty repeated the words like a parrot and got up to leave following the judge who was already down the hallway.

When Marty got down the hall he began to gasp for air, because after witnessing Damon compel the judge he'd been holding in his breath. He knew they were real. Vampires! He then clutched his watched that continued vervain inside it. The compulsion hadn't worked.

Thank God he'd only compelled him and not killed him. After spending a life of obsession he'd finally found, or ran into then got into an argument with a real vampire! But what the hell was that Bonnie chick? She didn't seem to be in danger with Damon, in fact they seemed to be a couple. Was she a vampire? He knew that different vampirepossessed different powers, but she seemed to be more human. What ever she was he was going to find out, and he was going to observe Damon. He had to know more about vampires, and Damon and Bonnie was his key.

"take care of this", Bonnie said grabbing her purse and luggage, nodding toward the air marshal. Bonnie released him and when the air marshal came to he looked at Damon but before he could do anything Damon captured his gaze.
