Becker quickly dialed the number he'd found in the address book on Jess' desk.
"You've reached the dashing, gorgeous, irresistible, Damon Salvatore, how can I be of service?"
"Now's not the time for your ego Salvatore, we need to meet, Jess and Elena are in trouble, and apparently you'll know what to do."
"What kind of trouble?" Damon asked, tone going serious.
"They've been kidnapped, someone named Klaus. Jess managed to get a message to me because I've had her keep a coms device we use at work for emergencies, and Klaus didn't find it."
Becker could hear hushed tones in the background for several seconds before Damon's voice returned on the line.
"Come to the hotel, we'll be ready and waiting." he said before hanging up.
Becker grabbed his keys and took off to the carpark at a dead run, before breaking every speed limit as he drove to the hotel.
"It's open," Stefan's voice called before he even knocked.
"How did you…?" Becker asked, walking in.
"We're about to explain that." Damon said, entering the room, "First though, I need you to realize there is a lot about the world, you don't know."
He resisted the urge to scoff, Me, you're not the ones who chase dinosaurs for a living, he thought wryly.
"I think I can handle it," he mused.
Damon and Stefan exchanged glances, and then suddenly Damon's face was fully transformed, veins prominent under his eyes, eyes red.
"What. The. Hell?" Becker asked, stepping back.
"We're vampires," Stefan said simply.
"As in Dracula?" Because now really isn't the time for games," Becker said annoyed.
"This is not a joke, we're vampires, and so is Klaus. He's one of the originals, the strongest there is."
"I don't care how strong he thinks he is, he has Jessica."
"He's a vampire, you can't just go in and shoot him." Damon said, rolling his eyes.
Stefan and Damon both wanted to laugh at the utter disappointment that briefly seemed to flash across his face.
"So what do we do?" he asked.
"Basically, we use the element of surprise we currently have and try to get in and get them out as fast as possible while one of us distracts Klaus," Damon replied.
"And then we kill him?"
"Klaus can't be killed," Stefan explained.
"What we do is, I'll distract Klaus, you and broody will get Jess and Elena. Get them as far away as possible, and don't wait for me."
They got to Klaus' in record time, Becker had insisted on driving because he knew he could make it faster than any of them, he'd just closed the forty-five minute drive in twenty-five.
Of course it was one of those houses that looked like it was ready to fall in on them. It also meant boarded up windows, which was good. Stefan, easily pried the boards off and then they waited for Damon's distraction.
"Well, well, well, Damon Salvatore, I wondered which of you would show up."
The voices came from the front of the house, so Becker and Stefan took the opportunity to slip in and head upstairs. They'd searched every room on the landing almost before finding the right one.
Jess and Elena were tied up against the wall beside the door, they hurried in, each kneeling in front of their prospective girlfriend.
"Are you okay?" Becker asked, reaching out to stroke her face.
"Fine, better now," she said, leaning her face into his hand.
"How terribly touching," Klaus' voice came from the doorway.
