And I am back! Thank you all for being so patient. I broke down and got a keyboard from my ipad so I could get chapters out. And before you ask - YES I am working on Love in London. And I apologize if anything looks wonky - between using Google Docs and FF system - its has not been pretty.

"I didn't take your dress! Why would I? Have you seen the way you dress?" Katherine said as she looked over her sister over with a look of disgust at her outfit which consisted of a blazer, short shorts and a pair of high heels.
Both Elena and Tatia had come to the police station to meet up with Katherine for lunch, but were held up from going because the sisters had quickly fallen into their normal pattern of bickering with one another before they could even leave the building. Tatia glared at Katherine while Elena opened her mouth to try and play referee between her sisters but shut her mouth just as quickly realizing it was a pointless endeavor to get them to stop and she really didn't want to get pulled into their argument. She already knew she dressed like a plain Jane and didn't feel like having it pointed out to her at the moment.
"At least it doesn't look like I shop at Strippers Discount Warehouse! What did you do? Go in there as ask them to showcase your intellect?" Tatia said with a sneer as she crossed her arms glaring at Katherine.
"It sure as hell beats looking like a high fashion train wreak. The 80's are calling, they want their shoulder pads back." Katherine snarked at her sister who's blazer did in fact have shoulder pads. Shoulder pads! What was the world coming to?
"Ugh, do you think you can take your family drama elsewhere?" Hayley complained as she came up on the triplets who were standing in the middle of the hallway, interrupting their bickering.
Katherine turned her head to look at Hayley, flipping her hair over her shoulder while lifting her brows. "How about you shut your dick holster and keep moving." Katherine said as she shot Hayley a sarcastic smirk.
"Bitch!" Hayley exclaimed with a frown.
"That's Queen Bitch to you." Katherine said as she lifted her hand and made a shooing motion with her fingers.
"Whatever" Haley huffed as she rolled her eyes and shoved her way past Katherine to continue down the hall.
"Katherine." Elena said trying to admonish her sister.
"What? It's Moon Moon. Who cares?" Katherine said with a shrug as she looked at Elena.
"I heard that!" Hayley yelled out from down the hall.
"That was the point." Katherine said throwing another sarcastic smirk over her shoulder at Hayley once more who just gave Katherine and angry look before going into one of the offices and slamming the door.
Tatia had a smirk on her face as well from how Katherine had handled the encounter while Elena just looked at Katherine disapprovingly. Out of the three of them Tatia and Katherine were the most alike. Which was probably why they tended to fight the most with each other out of the three of them. Elena was more gentle and nicer than Tatia and Katherine but she still had the Patrova fire in her blood and could hold her own just as well as her sisters could. And just as Katherine was about to respond to Elena's judgy stare they were interrupted by Damon and Kol.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the good -" pausing to look at Elena who just smiled shyly which earned her a wink from Damon, "the bad -" directing his gaze on Tatia who just rolled her eyes, "and the ugly." Damon finished with a smirk as he settled his gaze on Katherine who just arched a brow at him in question.
"On the inside." He whispered conspiratively as he tapped his chest to give clearer meaning to his words.
"What a dick." Tatia said looking at Katherine with another roll of her eyes.
"Said your mom." Damon quipped with a laugh as all three girls made a disgusted face at his words.
"Ladies! May I be so bold as to say how ravishing the three of you are looking today." Kol said with a dashing grin as he came forward to put one of his arms around Tatia and the other around Elena, both of whom just smiled at his antics.
"You know, I happen to have a foursome with triplets on my bucket list. Would you ladies like to help me cross that off my list?" Kol said as he wiggled his eyebrows at the three girls.
"Not if we were the last four people on Earth and it was up to us to repopulate the planet that we would ever have a foursome with you." Katherine said with disgust making Kol's face fall for a moment while Damon just smirked at Katherine's answer.
"Well three is just as good as four." Kol said as he squeezed Elena and Tatia closer to his sides, his charming smile back in place. "We can play ice cream sandwich and I'll be the ice cream." Both Tatia and Elena ducked under his arm to move towards Katherine.
"In your dreams, Kol." Tatia said with a laugh as she hooked her arms through Katherine's and Elena's and started to guide them down the hallway towards the front door so they could go have lunch.
"Turned down by three girls at the same time. Even my recorded isn't that impressive." Damon said with a laugh as he slapped Kol on the shoulder who was just stood there mournfully watching the three girls walk away.
"That is because you never had the balloks to actually proposition three girls at the same time, mate." Kol said, his eyes still on the girls retreating backsides.
"More like not stupid enough. Especially with the Patrova doppelgängers." Damon said, widening his eyes dramatically.
Kol was still looking glum but then his face brightened considerably and Damon turned to look to see what had gotten the younger Mikaelson out of his depressed state so quickly: both Caroline and Klaus were at the end of the hall with a red headed woman who stood between them with her hands cuffed in front of her. The red head was currently giving sultry looks at Klaus while he ignored her and argued with Caroline.
"Looks like today just got a whole lot better." Kol said with a look of glee as both him and a smirking Damon slowly crept up on the arguing partners to better enjoy the show.
"I can't believe you were actually flirting with her Mikaelson! And to make it worse it was WHILE we were arresting her for solicitation!" Caroline growled at him, her arms lifting to emphasis certain words.
"I would hardly call that flirting, love." Klaus said with an arched brow as he crossed his arms in front of his chest, causing his biceps to flex drawing the eyes of both women. While the red headed woman continued to stare, Caroline's gaze shot back up to his and glared at him.
"Yeah right! Like flashing your dimples and laying on your stupid English charm isn't flirting. Don't think I don't notice when you thicken your accent in an attempt to sound extra English because you think it makes the ladies swoon!" Caroline said accusingly.
"It is a rather sexy accent." The red headed woman said with a seductive smile as she lifted her cuffed hands to run her fingertips down the side of his arm.
Caroline frowned at the handsy red head and feeling her anger flair she grabbed the woman's arm, pulling her away from Klaus with a jerk. "Hands off my partner Ginger Spice."
Caroline wasn't sure where this anger was coming from. Yes she should be upset at how Klaus was acting but this level anger was something else entirely and she was almost sure (although she would never ever admit it even at the threat of torture) it was jealousy. Out of all the things that could cause her anger it had to be jealousy.
Caroline was finding herself insanely attracted to her douch bag partner with his seductive accent and ridiculous good looks. And she hated that she was attracted to him as much as she hated him. His personality in no way got better the more she got to know him, in fact the more she got to know him the more he made her want to stab him in his stupid handsome face.
The red headed woman made a face at the name while Klaus just smirked and said, "Thank you, Genevieve."
"Ugh! Are you seriously listening to yourself right now? She is a prostitute. We are vice cops. We are supposed to arrest her not flirt with her. You are seriously disgusting." Caroline said as she poked him in his chest and Klaus let his arms fall to the side as his mouth worked in surprise at the accusation and had the nerve to look offended.
"Caroline, love, I am fully cognizant of my duty to this city. I was just being nice." Klaus said in his defense, holding out his hands placating. Caroline was a little shocked by his use of her first name and how enticing it sounded with his accent, but she didn't let the oddity of it derail her from her anger.
"Nice? Nice?! You don't do nice Mikaelson unless you are trying to get your dick wet."
Caroline had gone out to the bar with their group enough times to see the Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde transformation. Klaus had the absolute worst attitude to everyone save maybe Capt Pearl and even then he was pushing it, but the moment he found a girl that he wanted to sleep with her personality would do a 180 degree shift and suddenly he was all charm and smiles and dimples. The only other time he was half way decent to anyone was when he was with his family or his best friend Stefan Salvatore.
Klaus looked taken aback by her statement.
"Do you really think that low of me?"
"Have you met you?" Caroline said ludicrously.
"I like you. In fact I'll only charge you half my rate." Genevieve said with a smile and a wink to Klaus who just shook his head with a frown, his gaze still on Caroline. He knew that they didn't like each other and that they fought all the time but he didn't think she really thought that badly of him and he was a little shaken to realize that he honestly cared about what she thought of him.
"Seriously? Did you just solicit a police officer while under arrest?" Caroline said as she looked at Genevieve like she was an idiot.
"It's worth it. I can throw a little action your way if you forget about it." Genevieve said as she gave Caroline a smoldering look.
"Alright, lets add attempt to bribe an officer of the law to that list of charges. Come on Ginger Spice, lets go get you booked. And I would strongly urge you to take full advantage of the right to remain silent before you make things any worse on yourself." Caroline said as she tugged Genevieve away, throwing a glare at Klaus before she left, while the red head just allowed Caroline to drag her backwards so that she could continue looking at Klaus, even going so far as to lift her hands to her lips to blow him kisses.
"You know Ken, I am beginning to think you like these set downs that Barbie gives you because you really do seem to be asking for it." Damon said with a smirk as he sauntered over to Klaus who was still looking in the direction that Caroline had gone in.
"Of course he does. He is completely smitten with the feisty Caroline." Kol said with a laugh as he came up and smacked his brother in the arm.
"Shut it Kol, or the next thing to come out of your mouth will be your teeth." Klaus growled menacingly, his temper on edge as he struggled with the newly discovered - would you even call it feelings? - that he actually cared what Caroline thought of him and the fact she thought so low of him actually hurt. He usually didn't care how anyone felt about him unless it concerned his superiors of his job or his family. Although the family bit was a hit or miss with them depending on his mood.
But caring what Caroline thought of him was on a whole other level. He didn't even like her. She drove him mad with anger and lust every moment they were together, neither of which required her good opinion of him except maybe the lust part because she would have to at least find him attractive in order to sleep with him. The rest didn't matter, or at least he thought so until now.
"Barbie definitely got her chocolate all up in Ken's peanut butter." Damon said with a smirk as he watched the emotions play across Klaus' face.
Damon's voice snapped him out of his thoughts and Klaus gave a hard look at both Damon and Kol before stalking off in the opposite direction of where Caroline had gone.
"Caroline and Nik as partners is the best thing that has ever happened to me." Kol said with a sigh. "Ahhh, good times."
