"Reports from numerous witness account, that a new species of shark has arisen, this has scientists baffled. The claimed spots of this Hybrid Shark, have been phrased as 'Biggest shark in the world'.

These rumours' have not been confirmed and head Lifeguard at Mystic beach states that pranks like these are used often to scare of the public away for teenage raves down at the beach. Call use up at - - do you believe this hybrid shark is real? Until next time listeners, remember slip, slop, slap and stay safe at the beach"

It was 10:30 in the morning and Rebekah was already not in the mood to converse with the customers. Nor was she in the mood for her good friend Anna to try and make peace between herself and Bonnie. Peace wasn't even on the bargaining table. Bonnie was lucky Rebekah hadn't gotten her falsely accused for something and fired for it. The sight of the girl was making her nauseous. She had thought they were friends. It was suppose to be Bonnie, Anna and she, the three amigos, stuck at the checkout counters dealing with insufferable customers, joking around and warning each other which ones were the real nip pickers. They would make the most boring job possible, fly by. They were her first real friends outside of her family. A classy girl like herself from her high profiled family didn't necessarily mix with the middle class.

Still there was no forgiving Bonnie.

A pretty blonde girl pushed passed customers. Her voice sweetly said "Excuse me" She was wearing a simple tee with a brown leather jacket over the top, jeans and stylish boots far out of her price range.

Rebekah rolled her eyes; she was really going to do this again wasn't she? For months Caroline Forbes, The sheriff's daughter had been puckering herself around stores, lifting things into pockets, tucking jewellery down her blouse. Stealing creams she didn't need, taking fruit and eating them openly in the store. She was a nuisance but she was pretty so if Tyler the store's owner's most favourable son was ever called for assistance, he would let her off and lead her into his upstairs office. Touching her waist feeling up her back... The guy was cocky and made Rebekah scrunched her fists every time he got too close to one of her girls.

As for Caroline, she let him have his way with her. Until they got to his upstairs office, Rebekah wasn't familiar with what they did up there but she could give a pretty good guess.

She didn't understand Caroline's deal. She came from a nice family, had a house, didn't suffer from fanatical issues. Why Caroline decided to shoplift was besides her but if she recalled Bonnie had previously stated Caroline hadn't always been like this. She use to be a bubbly, optimistic gal who spent her afternoons tanning at the beach, throwing beach parties, even with her studies found time to indulge in modelling. Won Miss Mystic Falls a year ago too but in 6 months her whole persona reformed and she became reckless, uncaring and made herself her own social outcast.

Rebekah wasn't going watch this girl get of scot free this time, people who did wrong deserved to be punished. Rebekah's finger's slid closer to the silent alarm, Bonnie who as in the checkout across from her met her gaze. She pushed down on the button.

Caroline twirled past the slow old man walking. Her eyes glittered over some cologne; there weren't too many passers in this isle. Which was perfect, too many meant prying eyes, no one meant she was the obvious culprit. Though it made her grin that she didn't particularly mind if she got caught; it would be amusing honestly if she did. By the authorities not by some observative granny, screeching she was a thief. That however was not fun.

She fumed over the different types of men's cologne. Grabbing each one and opening the loose packaging they were covered in. How was a buyer possibly suppose to know what they were buying with so much packaging. Freeing the lid, she lifted out a small square bottle.

"Darl" The old man she had twirled around moments ago, finally reached up to her. He looked over the opened box. "Always the smart thing to do" he nodded "Husband?"

Caroline laughed with the old man "No, sorry" she chimed "Boyfriend only"

"Well If were 40 years younger and him I would put a ring on it" He winked, strolling away

"Hilarious man" she muttered to herself, whisking the small square bottle and slipping it in her front pocket of her brown leather jacket. She didn't have a boyfriend and the tool Tyler was no exception. He was the opposite kind of man she use to ran towards, which was the exactly the kind of man she wanted to fill her time up with now.

Stuffing the empty box back, Caroline caught what was right next to the cologne. Condoms. She smirked, now that would be real interesting if she got caught. Grabbing an excessive few and shoving them in the back of her jeans.

In the underground Car Park

Klaus bawled his hands together, listening to his instructions.

"Demand money from the owner Mrs. Lockwood first, she'll lie and say she doesn't have any and open up a fake safe next to her desk. Don't fall for that. Play along; get aggressive, do what you do best. Then lead her at gunpoint to the checkouts. We'll already have someone to secure the exits so I want you to force her to open up all the cash registers. My other men will go raid the customers. Got it"

Klaus didn't answer. Dammit Kol why'd he'd have to get involve with these kinds of people, the memory of his brother loomed in the back of his mind. The necklace with the symbol of a base ball bat hung proudly from his neck.

"I said do you, get it" Silas raised his voice a little louder.

Klaus only flicker his eyes towards him, seething disgust written all over his face.

"I took care of Kol for his miss conduct"

Klaus growled. How dare he say his brother's name?

Silas only chuckled "Remember you have just another brother we can take care of too"

He followed Silas gleaming gaze to the parked formal, van in furtherest parking spot to the right. Klaus' eyes widened when he recognized whose number plates they were.

"What are you doing here Elijah" Klaus' brows furrowed

"We had him followed for a while now too, he seems to like to come here and take a break, with a smoke"

"Elijah doesn't smoke" Klaus interrupted

"Oh no" Silas said "Why not take a better look this time"

Klaus peered back, this time noticing Elijah's extended arm from his rolled down window and a heavy drag between his fingers.

He let out a sigh, turning back to Silas. "I get it"

"Then here" Silas chucked over a black mask "Can't have you getting caught can we"

"Really? here" Klaus grabbed hold of the mask with one hand and used the other to point up at the building. "Where my sister works"

"You know the funny thing is Kol said the exact same thing"

Sheriff Forbes climbed the stairs to Mrs. Lockwood's office.

"Your Here" Mrs. Lockwood shouted clearly unhappy.

"What can I do fo-"

"Your daughter!"

Liz nodded, closing her eyes letting Carol ramble it all out. She knew the story already. It was just the same as every story she'd heard about Caroline for months.

"Where is she" Liz reopened her eyes, cutting Mrs. Lockwood off.

Caroline hummed, un-bothered. Tapping her fingers on the counter, there was a girl that stood behind it. She had long straight, golden hair and was dressed in the cotton, peach, checkout uniform with a displaying name tag that had on it 'Rebekah'.

"That's an odd way to spell your name" Caroline observed out loud

"Don't even try to get friendly with me" Rebekah squinted her eyes. "I was the one who dobbed you in"

Caroline gave another one of her sweet smiles. "Clever girl" she mocked sarcastically.

A dark skin girl, with edgy, dark brown hair, said her last "Thank you for shopping here with us today" to her last lining customer and shifted past her counter and hesitantly move closer to them.

"Hey Rebekah" She said.

Rebekah dramatically sighed. "What"

"Obviously someone isn't feeling peachy today" commented Caroline

Bonnie looked between them before asking if she could talk to Rebekah alone.

Rebekah had just the intention to slap a 'No' in her face but Anna was tilting her head encouraging their interaction.

"What do you want?" Rebekah said once she had followed Bonnie away.

"We need to move past this for Anna's sake" Bonnie started, offending Rebekah a whole more.

"Oh so this is all for Anna's sake, was it for her sake too when you were rolling around in Kol's bed sheets"

Bonnie's eyes sadden "It wasn't just like that"

"No It wasn't" Rebekah's voiced calmed "It was affair Bonnie; you had an affair with my brother who was dating our good friend Anna"

Bonnie struggled to make her words. "I –I lo-ved him" she finally stuttered.

It wounded Rebekah to watch the nearly specks of tears glisten Bonnie's eyes.

"Well so did Anna" Rebekah said "And now he's dead" her voice cracked as she finished, walking away.

At Mystic Beach

"You invite me to go to the beach with you Elena and here all you're doing is drooling all over the hot life guard" Katherine crossed her arms behind her head, leaning back on her towel.

Elena's checks flushed. "His name is Stefan" she said shyly.

"oooo Stefan with the nice abbs" Katherine joked.

"It's not funny" Elena got defensive "He's a really good guy, he takes time to talk to the parents and gives advice how to best watch over their kids when their in the water and-"

"-and he takes time to talk to all the delicious girls in flattering bikini tops"

"Stop it Kat, who your referring too is more like Damon"

"Damon?" Katherine's interest picked up

"Yes he's the other life guard also Stefan's brother"

Katherine grinned, "I like him, he sounds fun."

"I don't" Elena said "I don't go for guys like that and neither should you if you knew what was good for you"

Katherine laughed "You know me sis, I don't date men from home, it means I have a chance of running into them again"

Elena rolled her eyes. Of course.

"So.." Katherine sat up so she could have a better look at Elena. "Why not march right up to him and demand a date from Mr. Stefan"

"I couldn't!" Elena cried "That's crazy, I don't ask men, that's not how I do it, they ask me or nothing"

"Because they're expected to all come chasing after you without any effort on your part" Katherine said knowingly

Elena ignored her twin sister's last comment. "I've been to the beach everyday for two weeks straight just to see him, if he was going to ask me out he would have done it already, he probably doesn't know I exist"

"Impossible! who possibly couldn't know who little Miss Elena Gilbert is"

Katherine suddenly jumped up onto the burning sand; she kept her legs moving so they wouldn't cook her feet.

"Where are you going" Elena ask pulling up the white singlet that she wore over her blue bikini.

"To ask him out for you"

"Ask? No! Katherine!"

But she was gone.

..

Pretending to be her sister, was horribly easy she just had batter her eyelashes and bite her lip shyly also cut back her carefree attitude and that was all. No man could ever tell the difference.

She had asked Stefan. He was delighted to hear 'she' (Elena) was completely and utterly smitten with him. He took the large, overreacting crush, genuinely. Answering he would love to meet later so they could hang out.

"In the shopping centre then" Katherine smiled; she waited for him to stare at her, it was the lamest place she could think of but Stefan genuinely returned a smile and answered it would be perfect.

She had successfully gotten her sister a date. Katherine turned back to give the thumbs up to Elena. This was no fun at all.

A tall, dark haired, handsome man not too far away, exited a tent full of giggling girls as board cheeky smile was smeared over his face. He wore the yellow and red significant Life saver's board shorts. He was also saluting Stefan who was shaking his head at the sight of him. Katherine watched Stefan walking all the way to the tower.

"Brother Damon." Katherine smirked. Now this would be far more interesting.

"Damon" She called out, the dark haired man swirled her way, his eyes travelling up and down.

"My name is Elena, would you happen to want to hang out today, perhaps at the shopping centre"

Mystic Falls Shopping centre

"This is so lame" Jeremy whined

"It's only shopping mate" Alaric tried to resonate, reaching for Jenna's hand. She was checking over the shopping list.

"Get eggs" she ordered him, all focused.

"Get eggs" Alaric repeated it, less seriously.

Jeremy groaned, leaning over the stack of cartons. "I was so close to getting a double set of guns, I had 24,000 points too"

"What's he talking about Ric?"

"Jenna just some x-box game" He comforted

"Jeremy, You like live in your room. It won't hurt you if don't get a pair of guns or whatever"

"I'm awesome in this game, a hero. You just can't become a hero in real life can you?" he muttered "Real life sucks"

"So does you emo hair cut buddy" Alaric laughed

"CAROLINE"

Caroline smiled too no one.

"Mom" she greeted, going in for a hug but her mother pushed her back.

"What in the world do you think you're doing?"

"Shopping of course"

"Shoplifting" Sheriff Forbes corrected.

"Actually I quite haven't left the store yet" Caroline pointed out.

"These were found in your pockets" She looked over the counter.

Rebekah who had returned, nodded.

"And I'm guessing since I saw you go out in a floral dress this morning those clothes that your wearing aren't yours either."

Liz didn't wait for an answer from her daughter. "I told you this was the very last time Caroline; I'm going to have to take you to the Station for this."

Caroline gasped "But isn't that going to hurt you reputation Mom, we can't have your colleagues knowing you have a criminal for a daughter"

"We're going" Liz Forbes said stiffly, "Why you needed any of that stuff makes me wonder" glancing at the counter.

"Can I at least take the condoms' I actually do need those"

Rebekah's jaw fell as the Sheriff dragged Caroline away.

Klaus held on tight on his scrunch up mask, he'd have to put it on just before he went inside. He just hoped Elijah would get out of this parking lot as quick as possible. Silas had gone through another entry instead of the stairs, So maybe Silas hadn't planned for there to be a cop car so close by and with the sheriff too. Sheriff Forbes wasn't it?

Sheriff Forbes was pulling along a gorgeous woman with free tumbling, blonde locks the reminded him of sunshine. She had a nice figure and her crystal blue eyes met his as they passed. There was something about her. It made him curious, she didn't look like no criminal but nor did he and look at what he was about to do. He was going to rob a shopping centre to pay off his brother's debts.

Her face, regarded his, her fake smile fading away. Till it she was just looking softly at him, did she wonder why he was here too? Or was he going to be a fragment of her memory, never to be thought about again. He was glad she wasn't going to be in the shopping centre to witness what he was about to do.

Caroline was chucked in the front seat of her mother's cop car. Slightly irritated, she attempted to shut the door but her mother wouldn't let her close it just yet.

"Caroline you need to stop this. I've bailed you out of charges, I've resonated alternative punishments- none that you have committed too, I've let it slide for long enough. You need to get it together"

Caroline continued to sweetly smile.

"This isn't what your father would have wanted you to turn out like"

Caroline's smile dropped and her eyes darkened. "Maybe he should have decided to live long enough to tell me himself"

Liz sighed, there was no way Caroline was over it. No way had she attempted to move past it or let it go.

Liz's radio beeped a message. "Robbery at Mystic Centre" Liz leant over Caroline to pick up her radio.

"I'm already here I'll take care of it"

Katherine had parked her car in the underground car park, she could imagine Elena's reaction when she found out she'd had set her up with both brothers. Kat was expecting her sister to come rushing back to her car humiliated and flustered. It was going to be a story she wouldn't forget any time soon.

There were only a few cars parked where she was, and one van. The van was park to the very right just like she was park the very left. The man was still inside it too. His window was open so he would hear her audibly if she were to call out to him. She watched the handsome man, who looked far to fine to be sitting in his fancy van and crisp suit, to be smoking a cigarette in a local underground parking lot.

He caught her looking at him and she gave him her friendliest wave and coy smile. He though, simply rolled up his window and returned to smoking. Katherine pouted, annoyed before leaning back and crossing her arms behind her head.

Like hell was she supposes to sit here respectably and listen to the radios incisive beeping. The robot voice of 'Warning' kept repeating and it was driving Caroline insane. Picking up the damn radio which she was instructed so many times before NOT to do, she answered it with an annoyed 'Hello'

There was nothing on the other line. Great

Caroline put down the microphone and the beeping continued.

"I'm getting out of here" she said to herself. Slamming her mother's car door as hard as she could. She then started jogged up the stairs and back into the shopping centre to find where her mother was at.

..

"Empty you wallets in my bag, NOW! or I shoot again".

Caroline stopped just at the wrong moment, her hand flying to cover her mouth, shock threatening her to scream. Countless of items had been knocked down all over the place, two robbers with black face masks held guns, one of them steadily aimed behind Mrs Lockwood's head, the other one swiping his gun all over the place like a lunatic.

Her Mom, had a sickening expression on her face, trying to blink herself to keep calm, her eyes settling on Caroline. Liz who was holding her gun with pride just like Caroline knew she would. Defend to the death was her mother, let it fall, seeing Caroline appear. Her mother was surrendering.

The checkout lady Rebekah was in hysterics, crying out onto the ground. The other checkout lady Bonnie was shaking, keeping her body up by supporting all her weight on the counter.

Caroline saw the blood pooling. It kept widening it's circumference around her head. Gunshot wound to the head. The checkout lady with the long dark hair lay still with no movement on the store's floor.

The gunman, hastly moved his weapon toward Caroline not expecting a new face, she froze, her breath caught in her chest.

"ANNA" Rebekah cried out

The gunman's then turned his gun at her instead.

"SHUT UP OR I'LL SHOOT YOU TOO"

"NO" bellowed the other gunman, his own positioned gun, revered away from Mrs Lockwood's head and to his partner.

Rebekah tried to muffle the sound she was making, her face buried in the ground.

One gun pointed at another masked gunman and one gun pointed at Rebekah the checkout lady and another checkout lady dead on the floor.

A boom erupted outside that shook the inside too; the customers who had being hiding fell on their knees. Everything was shaking and Caroline subconsciously held on the nearest thing closest to her. There was another shot and she heard a cry from her mother. The sound of crashing invoked their ears and dark blue stormed itself in. That breath she had been holding onto realised and a volcanoes of bubbles dragged to the ceiling. She felt like she was drowning. She needed air.
