Her inquisitive gaze turned into a scared one with one look at his suddenly ashened face.
"What is it? Who was it ? What happened ?"
He sat down,gripping the phone tight,probably trying to process whatever it is he heard. The silence was unnerving her and causing the insecure neurotic girl to assume the worst and she began to panic.
"Will you speak up ? What happened ? Is there any news ? What happened to him?"
"He's met with an accident. Their car was hit by a truck". His voice sounded robotic, trying to maintain control.
She couldn't find words to respond but her body seemed to have a find of its own as she felt her body violently shaking and her legs to weak to hold her up. She sat down, holding on to the arm-rest for support.
"Is he ali-okay ?" She barely managed to say as her voice broke up.
He didn't respond, just sat looking at a distance.
She was afraid to ask again, fearing the worst to come out with the answer.
Klaus suddenly stood up catching Caroline by surprise. He ran inside and came out after a minute.
He took his car keys , and gave her one last look "I'm going there"
She stood up "Where ? To find Kol ? Where is he ? Is he _"
"No" He stopped her mid-sentence with a shout.
"He's alive, they all are, his friends, they all are in bad shape, but they're alive"
"I'm coming with you"
"You can't come with me, the situation is bad as it is, you don't need to go, if you want to help, stay with Rebekkah, she'll need you"
"No, I'm coming, Kol's my best friend damn it ! He'll need me more than Rebakkah, so stop wasting time and lets make a move now!"
He was about to argue but one look at her angry and anxious eyes stopped him. She was just as hurt and worried as him. She was just as desperate to see him.
"Fine, lets go, its a 3 hour drive from here"
"Hmm, okay"
After a long and painful 3 hour drive of anxiety and panic they finally reached the hospital where they heard Kol was in.
They approached the reception.
"Excuse me, can you please direct me to Kol Mikaelson's room? He was brought in with 4 more people yesterday, their car was hit by a truck "
"Oh that one, but there only four brought in from that accident and I don't think there's a Kol Mikaelson in here"
His words knocked the air out of their (Klaus & Caroline) lungs.
Caroline spoke up half-shouting, half crying, "What do you mean there's no Kol Mikaelson ? He was with them, the other four boys, he has to be here, please check again and then say something"
"Please calm down, I'll check again"
"I am very sorry but there's no Kol Mikaelson"
"Are you sure ?" This time Klaus spoke up.
"Absolutely, but if you are sure he was indeed with the others then you can go in and talk to the ER attending them"
Klaus looked at Caroline, she nodded.
"Who's the doctor ?"
"It's doctor Philips,go straight ahead to room 131 and you'll find him attending one of the four who came in"
"Thank you" They both said together and made a dash to find the room.
"Are you Doctor Philips ?" Klaus inspecting the red-headed man coming out of room 131.
"Yes, how can I help you ?" He said in a hurry.
"I'm Klaus Mikaelson, I'm looking for my brother , Kol Mikaelson, he was supposed to be here with the four people who were brought in , but the nurse at the reception said there's no Kol in here"
"And he is right, we haven't identified anyone by the name of Kol here, are you sure he was with them?"
"Yes, he left with them yesterday morning"
"Look, I am sorry I don't know anything about any Kol and I have to hurry, I have a surgery in about 3 minutes,if you want to know, go to room 301, one of the boys ,Jackson,regained his senses in the morning and you can talk to him"
"Thank you" Klaus managed to say, as he and Caroline hurried to room 131.
They went in the room to find Jackson being fed by a nurse.
"Caroline, what are you doing here ? " He looked surprised to find his class-mate there.
"Where's Kol, Jackson ? The hospital's saying there's no Kol Mikaelson here, he went out with you guys yesterday"
"He did, but he never left New Orleans with us"
His answer dumb-founded Klaus and Caroline, as they looked at each other, confusion and worry written all over their faces and both with the same questions on their mind.
So,where's Kol then ? Why did'nt he come back home off if he never left New Orleans? Why is his phone switched off ?
