After scene:

Hayley and Elijah breech the doorway as Freya rises from her dominating stance over the werewolf after informing her of the continued imprisonment. "Where are the others?" Freya asks walking away from her prisoner over to her family. "Indulging," Elijah says peering over her shoulder at the bound woman ripping her second arm free from the remaining restraint. Freya turns sharply at her brother's wondering gaze, narrowing her eyes she waves her hand. Keelin's body involuntarily slams back on the chair trapping her without restraints as a gulp of air expels her mouth. Freya returns her attention to Hayley and Elijah, "We can't let her go." Hayley's face sours, "We promised her.," as she assertively leans forward one arm crossed her body and the other arm extend to the ground, finger pointed down, bobbing as she exclaims. "You promised her," Freya steps forward at the perceived challenge, "we can't let her go. She's the last of her pack. She'll be murdered. Then what? What will we do next time?" Hayley glances over at the hostage letting the depraved logic sink in. She shakes her head defeated knowing this is the only short term solution.

"I guess we have no choice," Hayley shoves past Freya frustrated with their lack of options. The Mikaelsons follow. Hayley begins to gather and bag their tools. Freya kneels to Keelin who stares up at Hayley pleadingly but her gaze falls upon her back. She lowers her eyes in to Freya knowing this wasn't going to go her way. Freya releases both leg restraints. Keelin tries to mentally will herself to move but the only change is the determination that floods her eyes. Freya gets eye level with her, "You remember the brain melting trick." Keelin meets and keeps her stare, "I can do much worse to a person's mind and keep them living. Do not try to run." She waves her hand and releases her.

Keelin immediately pushes up from the chair knocking Freya to the ground and bolts toward the door. Freya catches herself, arms extended, in a sitting position. She narrows her eyes and huffs. She waves a hand and mid-stride Keelin collapses. The thud echoes through the large warehouse room. Hayley whips around startled at the sound and her eyes search for an answer. Momentarily she finds Keelin face down on the floor, "Freya!" she moves toward her limp captive. "Relax," Freya rises dusting herself, "she's sleeping." Hayley bends to pick up Keelin and Elijah moves to her side to assist. They heave her up each balancing one arm over their shoulder.

Freya grabs the completed tool bags and moves to meet them, "Where are we going?" Hayley nudges her head to the door they just entered from, "The only thing here is the uhaul," She's refers to the old blue short bed uhaul Kalus purchased to cart around their coffins, "We'll need to take their car." Freya nods her head and starts toward the vehicles. She approaches a running SUV, all doors open, and leans inside. She studies the interior to find it unsoiled from the battle. She moves her eyes over the dash and door to find the trunk release. She reaches down and pushes the located lever and the pop noise fills the cab. Elijah grabs the hand and clicks it open and raises the hatch. They turn to have Keelin's back facing the inside and lower her onto the floor. Freya climbs in the back from the passenger rear door and grabs her under the shoulders. Elijah grabs her legs and lifts and they slide her gently into the vehicle. Elijah shuts the hatch. Hayley and Elijah move around the vehicle shutting open doors and each claim their from seat. Hayley in the driver seat and Elijah the front passenger.

They have a short wait for Kol and Rebeka to return. The vampires approach the running SUV where they see Elijah's arm hanging out the open window. The each other open a rear passenger door and slide inside. After their many centuries they don't exchange pleasantries. Hayley puts the SUV into reverse and heads out of Texas.
