Chapter 1.

Klaus saw himself as a smart agent; he never had any trouble figuring out what the next step for the people he was trying to catch. But this time he was worried, Lockwood shot his girlfriend, not something that Klaus had seen coming – not at all. He met Lockwood once and figured him out in no time at all; he tried to become his father, Richard Lockwood, who was a famous villain. Mostly known for being the headperson over several different kinds of crimes through the state of Virginia and not to mention he was the president of Lockwood Industries, a legal paper company and an undercover weapon dealership. He, as well as his son, was known to be untouchable and killing all witnesses. Richard Lockwood dying in a car accident, not something a sort of mafia boss wants to die from.
It was a sunny day in April. Klaus fetched his Ray-Ban Aviators and to-go-coffee and was on his way to the airport. It's funny how a police job made him a coffeeholic, especially when he didn't even like coffee to begin with. He was tired of chasing Lockwood; he just wanted to catch him once and for all. It shouldn't be so difficult since Tyler Lockwood was nowhere near as clever as his old man. But something always kept blocking Klaus from arresting him. This time Lockwood had left a witness, even though Klaus knew that Miss Forbes probably wouldn't be too excited to help him put her boyfriend behind bars, he was optimistic, and after all he did shoot her. He smirked by the thought of Lockwood getting caught but something was off, he couldn't quite put his finger on it. Why would he shoot her and why not make a bullet to kill? Did he want to get caught or was he just plain stupid? Klaus wasn't a man seeking for love; actually he was convinced that love was just an illusion of the miserable life everyone lived. Love was an excuse to be weak, and Klaus was not weak.

Klaus got so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't even notice that he already was at the airport. He wasn't a big fan of airports but he didn't like flying. He was going to a small town in Virginia. Being born and raised in London and currently living in New York, Klaus wasn't a big fan of small towns. Small town people, small town minds. He was seated in a section with a high school class. 'Great' he thought and sat in loud noise the whole trip.

A few hours went by and Klaus found myself standing by Mystic Falls hospital. He was eager to meet Miss Forbes, he was curious about her. He had only seen her picture and heard a few facts. Judging by her looks he couldn't help but wonder why such innocence would be involved with a guy like Lockwood. Klaus wasn't exactly all innocence himself, so he was no man to judge, yet he upheld the law and he was proud of his job. He liked being in control; in fact he was quite a control freak. It was probably because he hadn't been much in control doing his childhood. His mind drifted away these days, he was now standing in front of Caroline Forbes' room. He knocked and opened the door.
Klaus smirked and took out his badge. "Miss Forbes? Klaus Mikaelson, FBI, I have some questions for you,"


Caroline Forbes was nothing if not naïve, however she didn't see it as a misfortune to be naïve, no she was it as a sign of good heartedness. She would be the first to admit that due to her current situation she really did feel too naïve and stupid. She was finally getting released today, she hadn't been at the hospital for long but it felt like ages without anything but a stupid radio and a TV with two channels.
Caroline had spent three days lying in a bed, not something that fitted the blonde very much. Everything was too quiet and too plain. She had a visitors yes, but how fun is it to talk to people who does not nothing but to tell you how sorry they are and what a prick Tyler was? Caroline obviously figured out what a prick Tyler really was and she didn't want to talk about it. Not now, not ever. She had thought that her nearly perfect boyfriend was taking over his fathers company, he had promised her a vacation to Hawaii, not shoot her! Even though Caroline didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't help but think about it.
Caroline always knew that Tyler and her wouldn't be spending the rest of their lives together; she always knew that there were greater loves out there. She had loved Tyler, no doubt. She was just never in love with him. Tyler was a safe choice, let's put it like that.

Caroline sat and flipped the pages in an old Cover magazine, she already had flipped through at least three times before. She had been at the hospital for three days and talked to so many police officers that she just wanted to give them a one way ticket to Mars, they simply wouldn't let her have a break, same with her friends and her mother. All conversations were the same: No, I don't know where Tyler is. Yes, it came as a shock. No, it doesn't hurt that much anymore. Yes, of course I'm confused.
Caroline decided to do her hair and apply a bit of make-up to pass the time and look somewhat human again. She heard a knock on the door and couldn't help to sigh. 'Seriously?' she thought and glared at the door.

A young blonde man in a suit with the sleeves pulled up to his elbow came marching in. Caroline couldn't help but notice how good-looking he was. Suddenly, she didn't mind having company.
The man smirked and took out his badge. "Miss Forbes? Klaus Mikaelson, FBI, I have some questions for you," he said in a thick English accent.
Caroline sighed and moved and sat at the side of the bed. "Look, I already told everything to your coworkers and I'm going insane over having to repeat myself const…" Caroline said only to be interrupted.
"Miss Forbes, those detectives you've talked to are not my coworkers," Klaus interrupted and looked at her. He pulled up a chair and sat front by front with her. He looked at her features and thought about the picture Mr. Nielson showed her. She was even more beautiful in the flesh, even without all the make-up.
Caroline touched her hair and looked questioning at the agent.
"So? Can't you just let them brief you?"
Klaus laughed and shook his head.
"Miss Forbes, I've been working on catching Lockwood for years and no offence, I don't really care who you have and have not briefed in on your little story, now you're talking to me,"
Klaus came off way too arrogant for Caroline's taste. Who did he think he was? Mr. Above-all-human beings. She got up from the bed and walked over to the door and opened it. "If you are going to be a prick, you better get going 'cause I'm not gonna talk to you!" she said and smiled with confidence. Klaus was stunned yet he smirked and thought about how he liked feisty women. He turned around and glared at her. "Miss Forbes, you-" she interrupted him before he could continue his sentence. "Call me Caroline, please,"
"Caroline, you need to understand that I am more than the previous people you've been talking to. Like I said, I've been after Lockwood for quite some time now, and you being alive gives me great pleasure, in fact it proves that he is getting sloppy, and you Miss.. Caroline are currently my best option to finally get him behind bars," Klaus sat quietly with his hands resting on his thighs. He was getting nowhere with this woman and it was starting to annoy him greatly. Perhaps she wasn't so cooperate as he had hoped. Caroline returned to her seat and couldn't help but laugh. "It's TYLER, how hard can it be to catch him?" she asked out not directing the question directly at Klaus. "I mean, I've known him for all of myself. He never crossed me as a criminal mastermind! In all seriousness though, he shot me. His girlfriend for a stupid chip!" Klaus hadn't heard of this before now, he looked seriously at Caroline. "What chip?" Caroline continued babbling about how Lockwood could not be a criminal and how he shot her. Klaus was getting more and more annoyed with this girl. "Caroline! What chip?!" he said harsh and Caroline instantly stopped and raised a eyebrow. "How would I know? It's not like he told me anything. No need to get angry, mister!" Klaus needed a break, he only spent about ten minutes with this girl and he hadn't gotten nowhere besides the whole chip incidence. Obviously Caroline was frustrated with the situation and was socially disabled due to her current bed resting. Before he could say anything, a doctor came in and told Caroline that she had to sign the release form and get going because they needed the room ASAP. Klaus rolled his eyes as Caroline signed and the doctor left.
"Can I please go home and get out of this silly hospital clothes? Then we can meet up in a couple of hours and I'll tell you whatever you want to know," Klaus nodded and looked at her. He was still captured by her beauty, even though he wasn't quite convinced that there was more to her than that.
Caroline found a napkin and wrote down an address for their meet. "It's the Mystic Grill, two hours. Don't be late! If you think I'm neurotic now, you should see me when I've been waiting," she smiled at him and gave him the napkin. He smiled back and nodded. 'Gosh, he's so handsome and elegant. I wonder if… Snap out of it, Caroline!' She thought to herself and bid her lip.
Klaus gave her his card "In case of emergency. My private number is on the back," he muttered as he walked out of the door. "I will see you later, miss Forbes," she glared at him and saw the door closing behind him.


Caroline was getting ready for her meet with the FBI agent. She dressed herself in black skinny jeans, dark blue ballerinas, white tube top and dark blue cardigan. She applied extra mascara than usual; she wanted to look good since she had felt like a train wreck for three days. She got up, picked up and car keys and made her way to the Grill.

Klaus sat waiting with a cold drink. Two minutes to go, he thought while looking at the entrance. He looked around the grill and checked out the people here. Caroline and Lockwood grew up together, which means that some of the people here could be friends and close allies with Lockwood. Perhaps he should stay here for a while. After all, Lockwood had no idea what he looked like without shades and a fake beard. 'All that for anonymity' he thought and smiled to himself. He looked at the menu and before he noticed Caroline was taking the seat right before him. "Hi," she said much more relaxed and happy. "Right on time," he said and smirked. "I, for one, love punctuality,"
"Me too," she smiled at him. "Have you ordered anything?"
Klaus shook his head and started to open his mouth to speak, before Caroline interrupted him again. "They make a mean cheese burger," she leaned in closer to him "This is a small town and they talk and make assumptions. So please, don't sit and look all alpha male and order something more than… Scotch!" she said in a low voice while smiling. Klaus glared at her and nodded in acceptance. Caroline placed the order and leaned back. Getting ready to talk. "Oh, and for the record, I am the alpha male, love,"

"So Caroline…," Klaus said and put down his knife and fork. "I understand you and Lockwood were dating and you had no knowledge of his secret life?"
Caroline looked up at him. "I knew nothing… And yes, we were dating," Caroline felt everyone was looking at her and knew that she was sitting here with an agent. "Can we give him a cover name? In case someone is listening," she whispered. Klaus raised his eyebrow and looked questioning at her. "Very well. What do you have in mind?"
Caroline didn't think for long and started laughing. "Woody,"
"Woody?"
She nodded. "Very well then. Woody,"
She laughed again at his way of pronouncing woody and imitated him.
"Describe what you saw the night Woody shot you, love. As detailed as possible, please," he said and returned to his serious act. Caroline couldn't help but smile every time Klaus said Woody. She had to get over it at some point but she wasn't there yet. She gave a detailed description and told him everything she saw. Also she babbled on and on about how she thought he had an affaire in which Klaus wasn't listening.
"An earpiece?" Klaus said curiously. Caroline nodded and took a sip of her coke. "You know, like a CIA thingy,"
"I'm aware of what an earpiece is, love," Klaus said. Could it be CIA? In that case, he was no longer working alone which he preferred. He had to go investigate and talk to his contacts to figure out what was going on. He had to admit that he enjoyed Caroline's company even though he was here to work. It had been a long time since a girl had caught Klaus' attention. He couldn't even remember the last time he met a girl who wasn't just a sad fuck. But he just had to know one thing. "Caroline, what were you doing with a man like Tyler... Woody? Surely, you must have gotten some hints about his secret life,"
Caroline looked down and thought hard. She was silent for a minute and then looked Klaus into his eyes and bit her lip. "Don't do that. It's distracting," he said before she had an answer ready for him. She gave him a questioning look and finally started talking.
"A lot of things have made sense lately. Like how he could disappear for days and afterwards show up like nothing had happened. And working late at night... Business trips and a lot of secrets. But I cared for him. I still do, I just have a lot of questions for him and he won't pick up my calls," she said with a hint of sadness in her voice. Klaus didn't care much for the romance in this case; he just wanted to take Lockwood down, once and for all. 'Perhaps steal his girl while I'm at it' he thought but then he snapped out of it. Love would make him weak. It would give him a weakness, a weakness his enemies could use against him. Klaus Mikaelson was not weak. It was not time to settle down for love. Would it ever be? He had an idea.
"Are you going to continue contacting him?" he asked. Caroline didn't know what she had expected of him but she expected more than just a sallow question. "Yes," she answered while looking down.
"I could use your help getting Woody where he deserves to be. Are you up for it?"
"What can I possibly do?" Caroline was curious to hear what the agent wanted from her. What could she do? And would she be able to do it? She noticed Klaus' smirk and found herself, thinking about how handsome he was. Even though she was hardly official single and he was an arrogant prick, she could still admire the beauty God created, could she not?
"Keep calling him, see him and talk to him. Make him tell you about his business,"
"Seriously?" she said and glared at him. "You want me to fake-forgive the man who shot me?"
"I want you to help me put him behind bars. I believe you're the only one who can," Klaus said and watched her every move. Could she even handle it?
Caroline raised her brows and titled her head. "Why would he trust me?" she said wondering.
"He left you alive. Clearly, you mean something to him," Klaus got up and put money on the table. "I have to go now, think about it. Call me," before Caroline could answer he started walking away from the table. "Oh, Caroline, love" he said and turned around to face her. "There's nothing like some pretty lingerie. It always make men talk," he said and smirked. Klaus left and Caroline sat there wondering. 'Working with a sexy FBI agent to take down my boyfriend? It's seems a bit surreal. But after all Woody shot me and betrayed me. But should I betray him?'

Caroline picked up her phone and called Tyler. She expected him to dodge her call but to her surprise he picked up.
"Tyler?
...We need to talk. Can I come over?
... Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then at noon,"
She wasn't sure what she was doing or why she was doing it. She put down her phone and sighed. She was nervous and felt dizzy. What had she gotten herself into?


That's it for now!
