In the small car they'd used the entire trip, Caroline drove Klaus around. She said there were two things she wanted him to see, despite that he might've already seen them. "Tell me what they are, Caroline, and perhaps I can be of use."

Caroline chuckled, "You are a horrible liar sometimes, Nik," she smirked. After the other night they didn't talk about what the passionate kiss - that was both disappointingly and thankfully interrupted by a passing cat calling - meant for their friendship. Klaus would tried to get her to open up Caroline would shut him down. The only thing he found good in that was the grin she fashionably wore thinking about the kiss.

"Can you say that again?"

She glanced over at him, confused. "You're a horrible liar? Okay." Caroline chuckled softly.

"Nik, I love how you say it." Red painted her face as Caroline heard his statement, afterwards hearing his laugh. "Please?"

"Oh, yeah? Fine, Nik, then how about you say Caroline. Car-ah-line. It's adorable." And sexier than the devil himself must be if he made you. She glanced over at him with a smile - a real caring smile, speaking a thousand things in a simple gesture. Klaus was already smiling at her, a small peek at his dimples. It was a genuine smile, one she always loved to see on, as it brightened his face and made his eyes glimmer like a sea at night.

He had his own pink tint, which gave her a special feel.

"Here," she called as they pulled to a stop. "Alcatraz Prison." Giggling over to him, she got out with an excited look. They went inside, started their tour, and it had already been a half hour when Klaus was noticed giving someone a warning glare. Caroline saw this, and whispering to Klaus, she said, "Don't start anything huge, and not in front of these people. If he's innocent, don't kill him." Caroline gave him a peck on the cheek to look unsuspicious to the humans. She could sense the janitor that kept looking over at Klaus with knowing eyes wasn't human.

When she went to the guest bathroom and he was gone when she came back, Caroline wasn't the least surprised. She just hoped he didn't act impulsively.

"That is a pretty thing you're playing with in there," Luka said.

"Touch her and I will tear out your liver," Klaus threatened in a low growl. Luka, a handsome man missing a eye, smirked viciously. "Now what do you want? Revenge, I assume?" Klaus was in no mood with Caroline just across the street. Luka had taken him to the cafe that was closest to the hotel they were residing in, Klaus was aware he was doing it because he had someone watching her. A threat that will end in bloodshed for the mere thought.

"I am not the same weakling you once saw me as, you abomination -"

Klaus had been standing calmly in front of him in the back room, but now his hand was outstretched onto the neck of the man speaking. "What was it, I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your words?"

"Kill me, and I'll just come back. I've got a protection spell. Witches are a fine use," he smiled despite Klaus uninterested we expression.

Klaus took a few moments. What were the pros of killing Luka? Well, one nuisance finally gone, at least for a little while. Cons? Possibly one vampire going after Caroline. Judging from Luka's faltering smiles and short descriptions, it was a baby and not very strong. "Well, then." Luka looked as if he had just won some kind of Mercy from the hybrid.

"If you're just going to keep coming back, what point is there in keeping here now?" Klaus smirked and thrust his hand in Luka's chest. Blood dripped as he tore out the heart and dropped it on the ground.

"Caroline?" Klaus walked cautiously into the hotel room.

He saw a blonde head of curls pop out from behind a corner and Klaus kissed her. Caroline gave him a second, still in surprise, then pulled away. "What happened?"

He sighed, dropping his hands from her shoulders to her arms. "It was someone from my past, nothing more than an old victim I killed." She raised an eyebrow. "I wasn't aware at the time Elijah had fed him blood to save him from a carriage accident. I may have lost my temper with them both."

Caroline rolled her eyes and looked at him. "So why are you so worried if he's not scary?"

Klaus almost wanted to lie so he wouldn't be so vulnerable, in case of rejection when he knew his feelings of her. But didn't she know them already? "He threatened you, said someone was watching you as we spoke. Funny thing is he wasn't angry about me killing him, but that is old lover…" Klaus trialed off. Caroline kissed his cheek.

"I'm aware you've had one night stands, Nik. Jeez," she chuckled at him. "But now we do have to leave. There's probably going to be a trail if he saw us." Klaus nodded as he helped her start to pack.
