"We are all searching for someone whose demons play well with ours."
It was pouring. People barely walked around the streets of Los Angeles. Everyone tried to shelter themselves anywhere the rain couldn't get, yet the rain was getting heavier and heavier with every minute.
However, the Florence Avenue was crowded as always. The fanciest restaurant of the city was filled with famous people enjoying their meals, not regarding the weather outside.
It was a cozy atmosphere, with delicious food, pleasant staff, and classical beautiful music playing for the guests. The waitresses and waiters were in their natural environment, serving their customers and fooling around in the main kitchen with chef. The restaurant hall was noisy and the big table in the middle of the hall was the loudest one. The table that was never free for booking. The table which always was booked by them on special days.
The Mikaelson family was having a dinner. Yes, you heard it right. The Mikaelson family, who owned the Mikaelson Enterprise, one of the most famous enterprises in the city, and the country. Mikael, Esther and their four children moved to USA when their children were barely ready to start a new life in a new country.
Rebekah, Kol, Klaus and Elijah. Her pride, her family and her everything. Esther tried her best to raise her children up in the best way she could. They were polite, they were fighters, and warriors. They had all they wanted in life with help of their mother.
Unfortunately, they were only teenagers when Mikael disappeared, and he'd just gone missing and nobody had seen him since. It has already been almost 17 years and as time passed, the children got used to living alone, soon they graduated from prestigious colleges, and started to build a business that became very successful over the years.
Mikaelson Enterprise was the heart and soul of the family.
Four of the siblings who ruled the company were sat at the table, each of them immensely handsome and beautiful, owned the entire room and the evening also. There was no single person who was not affected by their presence.
Elijah Mikaelson, the eldest brother. Dark hair, dark eyes. Breathtaking cologne. Perfect body and astonishing British accent. To be exact, British accent was their family's thing. You'd never imagine him without a suit, handkerchief in his upper pocket on the suit, and a beautiful breastpin, just beside his heart.
Klaus Mikaelson, the CEO of the enterprise. Blonde, curly hair, blue eyes, strawberry lips, handsome as hell, and a heartbreaker.
Rebekah Mikaelson. The blonde sister. Effortlessly beautiful, with full lips and big blue eyes. The talking-walking –"I can't make you love me, but I can make you fear me"- bombshell. Only a few wrong words and she would have you on your knees in front of her.
Kol Mikaelson. The youngster. Definitely not the most pleasant one of them, but with suggestive sense of humor along with harshness and sexiness in his voice.
Klaus was holding a glass of wine in his hand and drinking it softly from the glass. As he put down the glass, he spoke to Elijah, who was fondly listening to him.
"Elijah, what are the chances of us not getting another contract with Crimson & CO?"
Suddenly the two policemen walked in the hall and made their way towards the large table.
Not expecting it, Klaus has not even taken into consideration that the policemen were heading into his direction.
"Klaus Mikaelson, you are under arrest for the murder of Liv Parker. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you by the state."
The whole restaurant was looking at them. Everyone with surprised faces and astonished looks was staring at Klaus who barely stood up on his feet from embarrassment. Two policemen placed steel handcuffs on his sweaty hands and made him face the whole hall with guilty face.
Klaus' brothers immediately stood up from their chairs and ran to Klaus, desperate for information that they clearly needed, situation was tense.
"Niklaus, explain yourself." Elijah said.
"Let go of me, stupid men! I didn't do anything!" Klaus shouted at policemen in panic.
"What the bloody hell is going on here, Nik?" Rebekah lost her control.
"Well, well, it seems I am beginning to enjoy family dinners." Kol laughed silently while looking on at his brothers.
"Nothing is going on sister, it's just a little mistake; I'll get it covered!"
Klaus was trying to remain calm while the policemen were dragging him to the car that was waiting outside.
"Nothing? They're accusing you of murder. It's not a joke, Nik. Explain!"
Rebekah tried not collapse on the floor as she got nervous. She started crying and Kol immediately held her as she started to fall. Elijah was shocked. He couldn't analyze what was happening.
He grabbed his coat and followed the policemen as they slowly walked into rain which was pouring like a metal curtain outside. Elijah could barely hear what Klaus was shouting, the rain had completely drowned out his voice, all he could do is turn on the engine and follow them to the police department.
"Elijah, wait! You can't leave us here, we're going with you!" Rebekah yelled at him as he got in his car.
"No, you two will go back to company, hide all the documents that Niklaus has worked with in the past few months, try to cover as much as you can to avoid all the drama, and remember, don't make any comments to the press and don't give any interviews! I will try to get Niklaus back as fast as I can."
As he finished the sentence, he pressed down hard on the gas and drove away to catch up with policemen.
When the policemen arrived at the department, the press was already there. Journalists from around the city had gathered to interview Klaus Mikaelson and get even the smallest details about what had occurred nearly an hour ago. It was still raining heavily and the curtain of water didn't let people to surround the suspect and policemen completely.
"Mr. Mikaelson, how are you going to justify yourself? Do you have a legitimate excuse about the fact that you've been accused of murdering Liv Parker?"
The policemen clearly didn't enjoy the questions that were popping out left and right so one of the policemen had managed to get his cup of patience completely full.
"Hey, you all! Get out of the way, no comments for now. Wait for the news. Clear the area, now!" The crowd dispersed, not needing to be told twice.
Klaus was embarrassed. In his 28 years of life, he had never experienced this kind of shame. His cheeks were on fire, while he was all sweaty. He would never imagine that something like this would happen to him. He was extremely ashamed of what was happening; he was trying to analyze what the case was, but it in vain. His brain has been completely blocked with the horrific thoughts about his family, himself, people close to him, and the impact that would be caused after that fact. Thanks God that it was raining, otherwise, he would be ashamed in another way as a tear had fallen from his left eye.
The policemen dragged the CEO of enterprise with them as he slowly walked up on the stairs and thought to himself.
"The company, the family, fuck Klaus! What have you done?!"
What if it's true? God, Niklaus, what have you done?
Elijah's thoughts were interrupted by an incoming call from Rebekah.
"Elijah, tell me that you're already there!" Hysteria had crept into Rebekah's voice.
"Rebekah, please! Have a little patience, the rain is still pouring; I'm driving as slow as I can, not to cause a car accident. I am trying my best not to burst at the moment because I am getting a thousand calls in a minute, so could you please be a little more patient and wait till I figure out something to save our brother?! I assume both of our interests involve this."
"But you don't understand, we..."
"Sister, let me take care of this. I will do anything to save our brother, I promise you. Just give me some time."
He immediately pressed the button and ended call without any of Rebekah's concern.
"I didn't do anything. You can say whatever you want and accuse me for whatever you want, but I won't speak a word until I get an attorney."
"Mr. Mikaelson, I just warn you, you better speak, I believe it's the best that you can do at the moment, considering the fact that everything is against you. I wouldn't risk my reputation if I were you."
"I assume, Detective Gilbert, isn't it? Clearly not my last name, so my reputation is none of your business. Whether I say a thing or not, it's definitely not up to you, I decide what I do. It depends on me and this particular phrase means that I am not saying a word until I am fully aware that I'm under the full protection." Klaus smiled devilishly.
Detective Gilbert closed the door of the interrogation room and left Klaus alone with his only companions- handcuffs.
Elijah was almost there when he got a text message on his phone.
He opened it and read the text.
1-9484-738-34, Caroline Forbes.
Memory Lane Ave, #14,
Call her, say that I've sent you.
Good luck,
D.
Elijah picked the phone and dialed the number; he was impatient as ever, the girl had better picked up at time.
Finally, after 30 seconds, she picked up.
"Hello, it's me, Caroline! I am away now. You can leave me a message; I will call you back as soon as I can!"
"Goddamned voice mail."
Elijah dropped the phone from anger but after 2 minutes he decided to call her back and leave a message, after all, it was better than nothing.
"Good evening Miss Forbes, I'm Elijah Mikaelson from Mikaelson Enterprise. I need your help. Damon told me that I could ask for your help if something happened, please, call me back as soon as possible. Thank you."
Elijah hung up again, nervously looking at the road and finally noticing that he had arrived at the station. He quickly turned off the engine and got out of the car, putting his coat on and running as fast as possible not to stick in the crowd of thirsty interviewers and press but the crowd was too big.
"Mr. Mikaelson, would you like to make any comments about your brother? Is it true? Why did he kill Liv Parker?" The interviewers were desperate for answers, and they weren't going to stop asking questions.
"I prefer to remain silent about the terrible mistake that the police department has made. I believe in upcoming days we will be completely aware of the full information and I assure you, Niklaus is not guilty."
With these words Elijah left the crowd and headed to department door and got in the center of attention.
"Let me see my brother."
"Mr. Mikaelson, have a little respect and be patient, you have to wait for the detective to arrive and then you're allowed to talk with the suspect. " One of the policemen replied within seconds.
Elijah could do nothing than wait for the detective in the waiting room. He walked around nervously with pale face and sweaty palms, thinking of all the possible ways to drag his brother from this hell. Even though Elijah was dying from inner nervousness, he didn't show it to anyone. He still remained classy and worthy.
"Mr. Mikaelson? The detective has arrived; he's looking for you outside."
"Good, we don't have another minute to lose."
"Detective Gilbert, meet Elijah Mikaelson, brother of the suspect." The policemen introduced men to each other.
"Detective, when can I see my brother?"
"The minute you have an attorney, you have a full right to see him and talk to him. I assume you already have one?!"
"I did call her, I just don't know the exact…"
"Oh, Miss Forbes? Good choice, !"
"What?"
Elijah got confused at his words but he immediately turned his head to the direction Detective Gilbert was looking to. He noticed the young woman with blonde hair entering the door of the department and looking around with a pretty calm face.
Elijah was confused also, but he realized that he had to play according to the situation and not express the confusion. He quickly walked to girl who had just entered the hall and took her by surprise.
"I am Elijah Mikaelson. I called you earlier. I don't know how did you get here but thank you for arriving that fast."
"Oh, it's you! Actually it's no problem; Damon informed me an hour earlier that you did, so I technically knew everything before you called."
The young woman seemed pleasant. She was a combination of everything that could possibly suit a human being. A beautiful face, perfect body, blonde hair that highlighted her entire face and matched with her eyes.
"So, where is the suspect?" Caroline asked with interest and smiled at both of the men.
"Follow me. " Detective led them to the interrogation room.
Detective Gilbert opened the door of the room and let Elijah and Caroline enter it first.
"Elijah, you're here." Klaus gazed at him.
"Of course I am here. Niklaus, meet, this is your lawyer. Caroline Forbes. She is one of the best in her field, she's the city's best. She'll help you."
Elijah walked into the room slowly and stepped back to show Caroline to his brother, who was standing just behind him.
Only after Elijah mentioned the girl, Caroline moved from her original place, and met Klaus face to face. Their eyes met each other, and quickly caused an intense gaze between their blue eyes. She felt a strange feeling in her chest and stomach, while Klaus was just sitting on the chair, with handcuffs, unable to move properly.
Caroline quickly took her gaze off Klaus and turned to Elijah.
"Elijah, isn't it? Do you have any money with you?"
"Depends on amount you need." Elijah answered with a surprise. Must've been strange, to get a question about money from a girl you've just met.
"Don't worry, he has got enough, love." Klaus answered with a small grin.
"Perfect, then go and pay the bail; if they ask a million other questions and refuse to take it, just say that according to Constitution you have a full right to free the suspect on bail if you have a proper amount of money with you, or more, if possible. I guess it's not a problem for you, is it?" Caroline talked as if she was 100% sure of what she was doing and saying. And that was truth.
Elijah immediately left the room with a smile, feeling that the girl knew what she was doing. Hopefully, she was right.
"I guess it's time for you and your tricks to make a comeback, Miss Forbes?"
"Detective Gilbert, unfortunately I don't have time to blubber around, I have work to do. Could you please leave me alone with my client? I think we have some things to sort out."
"Yes, you surely do have things to discuss. Okay, time to leave."
"Thanks." Blonde was satisfied.
The door closed and Klaus and Caroline were left in the room completely alone, face to face.
