Alessa extracted herself from lunch with her brothers delicately. She promised to consider their requests while informing them she had to go study for a test and would see them later. She made her way to her apartment building, where she found herself waiting for the elevator with a group of employees who were talking about the stores where they worked.

Alessa was pulled into a conversation with a girl who introduced herself as Cami. Cami explained that she was a bartender in the French Quarter and had an apartment in the same floor as Alessa. She raved about the stores on the top floor and Alessa admitted that she has never stepped foot into any of the stores.

Just as Cami was expressing her disbelief when there was a squeal of wheel and a splash heard from outside. Cami and Alessa were facing the glass doors and windows and saw a silver Audi drive away. Cami pulled a reluctant Alessa outside with the crowd of employees to see what had just happened.

They watched as a suitcase was fished out of the fountain that sat outside the building. A girl who had been next to the door said she had seen a girl, carrying the suitcase, be shoved in a car and then the suitcase was tossed in the fountain.

Alessa gasped when she saw the suitcase, she knew exactly who it belonged to. It belonged to none other than Caroline, "Oh dear lord. Niklaus and my brothers are going to kill me, that's Caroline's."

Cami looked at her oddly, "Niklaus? Niklaus Mikaelson?"

Alessa nodded, her mind reeling, what was Caroline doing here? She was supposed to be in Whitmore with her friends. Cami stared at her in shock.

"How do you know Klaus?" Cami ventured to ask.

Alessa frowned, "I was married to him. May I ask how you know him?"

"Oh, he comes into the bar I work at all the time, He and his friend Marcel. I didn't know he was married though."

Alessa looked at Cami, "He's not, not any more. We just divorced last year, married too young, you know. It didn't work out, we ended in good terms though."

Cami nodded, and Alessa turned her attention to the police who had just arrived on scene. They started interviewing the witnesses and Alessa walked up to the detective nearest to her. She explained how the girl to whom the suitcase was her friend who had come for a visit. The detective sent Alessa, Cami, and the girl who saw Caroline being kidnapped to the police station to get their statements, which was only a couple blocks away, in the company of an officer.

As the girls walked to the police station, Cami asked Alessa, "So, how well do you know Klaus?"

Alessa shrugged, "About as well as anyone could, I suppose."

"I can't believe he hasn't told me about you." Cami murmured.

Alessa shrugged then shot a curious glance at her, "How well would you say you know him?" She wondered how much the other girl knew.

Cami shrugged, "I learn more all the time. He likes to use me as his therapist. I've been writing his memoirs for him."

Alessa laughed, "Niklaus talking to a therapist. That's something I never thought I'd hear. Kol would never let him forget it if he was still around."

"You knew Kol? Klaus said he does not long ago."

Alessa nodded sadly, "Kol was the love of my life."

"But you were married to Klaus."

Alessa nodded, "It's complicated, but Niklaus saved me. We were never in love, but he rescued me. Kol and I, we were in love. Niklaus didn't have a problem with us, so Kol and I were together while Niklaus and I were separated. After Kol died, we finally got divorced, I moved here to go to college, something I never had a chance to do before."

Cami nodded, "Why did you choose to go to college here?"

Alessa sighed, "I lived here a long time ago, and it was the one place that truly felt like home."

Cami nodded, "I've heard that before."

"From Niklaus?" Alessa guessed. "The Mikaelsons, all of them, well except the eldest brother Finn, they all felt the same about New Orleans." She smiled at Cami, "It's little wonder we all ended up back here."

Cami returned her smile and they finished the walk in silence. As they reached the police station, the cop that had accompanied them was asked to go pick up something that was being dropped off in the parking garage. Instead of taking the girls inside first the cop led them around to the outside entrance to the parking garage.

The cop led the way into the parking garage and towards a silver Audi parked near the entrance. The other girl followed trustingly but Cami and Alessa stopped short.

"Alessa, is that the same car we saw earlier?" Cami whispered.

She spoke so lowly that had Alessa been human she wouldn't have heard her. Alessa nodded tersely and they backed away from the car slowly. Alessa wracked her brain trying to think of something to do, she ran through her options, deciding the best option was to first find a place for them to hide and access the situation she quietly led Cami towards a door she had seen upon them entering.

It was just a storage room that doubled as a break room with only one entrance but it would have to do as all the other doors close by could only be opened with badges. Just as they were close the people at the Audi, spotted them. They shoved the other girl into the Audi and they, cop included went to chase Cami and Alessa.

Cami and Alessa ducked into the storage room and hid towards the back behind some boxes. Alessa directed Cami to lay flat on the floor, and to stay quiet. Crouching beside Cami She then reached for her phone and silently dialed Niklaus. She handed the phone to Cami and motioned for her to stay quiet and then blurred quickly to the other side of the room.
