A week later
Hayley finally made up her mind; she decided she can't keep living here in this lousy motel, not to mention that she can barely afford it, and she can't keep stealing random people of the streets, because she's risking getting caught and being sent to jail for only a couple of hundreds that she'll end up paying as rent, Klaus was right, it was a chance of a life time, and she had to take it.
She gathered her things and went to the owner of the motel, gave him the money for the rent and went straight to the French quarter to find the bar.
Once she found the bar, which didn't take long, since the bar was quite popular, she felt eager to go in and accept the deal, but something kept telling her not to. Hayley never trusted anyone before, and to her this was a huge risk, but also an opportunity that she cannot pass, she finally gathered her strength and went inside.
She stood there trying to find his gorgeous face amongst the others, "I see you finally made up your mind" he said from behind her startling her, she turned around to face him, "well , you did say it was a chance of a life time" she smirked and so did he.
"Come on, let's introduce you to the rest of team" he carried her duffle-bag for her and made his way to the back of the counter and she followed him "Cami, call a family meeting, and in the meantime you're in charge" he whispered to the waitress and she nodded in agreement.
He then led her to a room that was behind the counter; on the door there was a sign that says 'unauthorized entrance' and once she entered she realized it was their 'conference' room.
The walls were covered with pictures of random people; there were a couple of computers in the corner, and a huge screen hanging on the wall, with a big wooden table in the middle. He pulled out a chair offering her a seat; "thanks" she smiled accepting his offer and sat, then he sat right next to her.
Few seconds later, 2 men and a woman came in "what's with the family meeting?" Kol said annoyed, he was not in the mood for another family meeting, usually they have them when they are planning a new robbery, however they already had one yesterday in which they set the plan for today's robbery so going to another meeting didn't make sense to him.
But the moment he laid eyes on Hayley he froze "wow" was the only thing he managed to say, everyone was now staring at her, and she was getting uncomfortable, you could even feel her slightly blushing, "everyone this is Hayley Marshall, the manipulator I told you about" Klaus explained, she shyly smiled at them, however they kept staring at her as if she was an alien, she was starting to get nervous at why they were staring at her like that.
"Nik, you liar" Kol was the first to recover, he stepped forward and took a seat, "you said she was beautiful" Hayley look at Klaus confused, Klaus quickly looked away, avoiding her stares as he shot a nasty glare at Kol for telling her that, she looked back at Kol, "look at her she is bloody gorgeous" he said giving her a charming look, she was even more freaked out now.
He then took her hand in his and kissed it, "Kol Mikaelson, the informer, at your service" she jerked her hand away from his, wiping the none-existent saliva, "keep him away from me at all times" she said looking at Klaus with a fearful look, who chuckled and nodded his head.
Kol was what you call a 'big mouth', he was annoying as hell, but he can get people to talk and spill their dirty little secrets without them even realizing it, he had a way with people that no one quite understood, he was either too annoying that people would give him the information he needed just to get rid of him, or too challenging that they would give him the information just to prove a point, and if that didn't work he pulls out the big guns… literally, he was a master of torture.
However when it came down to the ladies all he needed was a hand full of compliments, a couple of winks from his dreamy eyes and sometimes even a one night stand; not that the ladies can turn him down or anything he was quite the charmer, he had the perfect body and face that helped him seduce any woman he crossed paths with, and he was not oblivious to his good looks, since he's the ultimate womanizer, well the second actually since Klaus occupied the 1st place.
"You know he is right you are gorgeous, which will make you the perfect manipulator" Rebekah said finally recovering, she walked in followed by Elijah, and they both sat at the table as well, "thanks?" Hayley said hesitant "around here, that is a compliment, sweetie" Rebekah smiled sincerely at Hayley and Hayley felt the urge to smile back "well, you're beautiful as well" Hayley returned the compliment, not that she was lying, Rebekah was gorgeous, she resembled to a Barbie, with her long blonde wavy hair and her brother's ocean blue eyes all the way down to her perfectly full lips and a flawless body to complete her faultlessness.
"Don't be fooled by my sister's good looks, she's a total nerd" Klaus interjected giving her a cheapish smile "it's just something about electronics just draws me to it" Rebekah confirmed "she's our hacker" he smirked as if he is proud of her; and he had every right to be proud, she really was good with electronics, she's what you call a prodigy, she was a wizard at computer, she can make information, maps even personal record appear within a blink of an eye, nothing was impossible for her, not even the highly secured governments data.
"And this is my big brother Elijah" Klaus pointed at his perfectly suited big brother, "he's what you call the brains of the operations, he picks out the targets and hatches the plans." He explained, Hayley was not surprised by him being the brains, he kind of looked like he was, with his impeccable suits and his proper looks, hell even the look on his face spelled 'sophistication', "however he keeps his hands clean of all of this, you know to remain the noble one" Klaus continued, and Elijah gave him a dirty glare, which did not go unnoticed by Hayley, she had a feeling he was not going to like her, he was the serious one, and it looked like she'll have to work really hard on his approval.
"And you already know me, so that's the whole family" and that's when it hit her, "so you guys are siblings?" Hayley asked confused, hoping that he would say no, much to her displeasure he said "yes, now come on, I'll take home, show you where you'll be staying" he said standing up grabbing her duffle-bag "no need" she interrupted him, she stood up taking her duffle-bag from him, Klaus gave her a confused look "don't tell me that you're ganna stay in that shitty motel?" Klaus complained; he knows how bad that motel was and the kind of people that lives in it, and Hayley being the good, well gorgeous looking girl she is, it was a matter of time before someone decides to 'enjoy' her.
"Listen, when you told me that this is a team, I felt hesitant, but knowing you guys are family I have to say no" Hayley explained shyly, as Klaus gave her a disappointing look, he had finally found the perfect manipulator and now she is turning his offer down.
"What?" Rebekah exclaimed shocked by her refusal "you guys are siblings; if one of you fell the others will run to the rescue" Hayley clarified, though it still didn't make sense "that's supposed to be a good thing, Hayley" Rebekah objected still not happy with her turning down the offer "not when you're the outsider" Hayley stated bitterly.
"Part of the team, part of the family" Klaus pleaded; he didn't want to lose such an amazing manipulator, at least that what he kept telling himself, "yeah well I had 10 different families over the years and yet I still ended up on the streets" Hayley snapped, no one quite understood, but that girl had some serious trust issues, especially when it came down to families.
She had changed so many foster homes over the years, some used to kick her out after only a week, so she grew accustomed to counting on no one but herself, because they all leave her eventually.
"Not in this family, this family sticks together no matter what, always and forever" Klaus stepped closer to Hayley, his eyes staring in to hers begging her to stay, Hayley felt weak looking at them, so she looked away trying to avoid his magnetic blue gazes.
Suddenly her eyes fell on a picture that was hanging on the wall, she admired it for a while making sure it's 'him', and the moment she realized it was indeed 'him' she asked, her eyes never leaving the wall "what's with the wall?" he followed her gaze, the wall was full with picture of random people, divided into 3 columns, each hanging with a different color pin.
"It's called the wall of missions. The green are for mission accomplished, yellow is for missions in progress, and the red is for mission impossible, and usually those one take a lot of time, months, maybe even years, and there is a bigger team for this kind of jobs" Klaus explained, and instantly Hayley ripped her eyes from the wall and stared at Klaus with confusion, narrowing her eyes, "a bigger team? So there is more?"
"Yeah that's what I've been trying to say, we handle the small one, but there is a bigger team, and none of them is even related to us" Klaus elucidated, hoping that she would actually change her mind and stay.
"Well…" Hayley was now confused, she didn't want to trust this people but they are the only way she could get to 'him'.
"So what's ganna be, little wolf? Going or staying?" Klaus said approaching her, and as if looking into his devilishly compelling ocean blue eyes wasn't enough, the way he said 'staying' with persistence, as if he is not asking he is demanding her to stay.
All Hayley managed to utter "I'm in" which was enough to get her a smile from Klaus's tempting red lips, and she suddenly found herself infected with the same smile.
"Good, now first thing first: outfits" Rebekah shallowly ordered, despite the fact that she can be quite smart and well… a nerd, she was quite shallow as well, fashion was her obsession.
"Actually, I'm good with the ones I got" Hayley unlike Rebekah hated shopping and all this girly things, "ha, yeah right" Rebekah replied sarcastically "judging by what you're wearing, I beg to differ" Hayley was wearing a simple dark blue jeans, with a loose black top and some black combat boots, that was her style, casual and loose, she wanted something she can run in, since she spent half of her life running.
"What my sister means is that you'll need a more formal outfit, for tonight's event" Klaus corrected his sister "right, I'll go grab my credit card" Rebekah squealed, she loved going shopping, it's a good thing they are millionaires, otherwise they would have been screwed, Rebekah literally shops till she drops.
"What's tonight's even?" Hayley turned to Klaus with a questioning look, "I'll tell you all about it on the way, now come on, there is not much time to waste, there are so many outfits for you try, then there is hair and make-up, manicure and pedicure…" Rebekah stared listing the thing she wanted to do, she was an expert, queen of her domain.
"Please, don't tell me she's ganna turning me into a life size dress up doll" she looked at Klaus this pleading eyes, Hayley hated this things, she thought they were nothing more than a waste of time, however the only respond she got was a chuckle from him, he know exactly that that's exactly what Rebekah will do.
"Nik?" Rebekah looked at her brother, stretching her hand towards him, and as if he already knew what she was requesting, he pulled out his wallet and took out his credit card, he was about to hand it to her, when all of the sudden he pulled his hand back before she can reach it "I pay only for Hayley" he warned her, he knew if let's Rebekah have her away with it, he'll be broke.
"Actually, I can pay for myself" Hayley stated, not wanting any handout.
"No offense Hayley, I doubt you'll be able to afford it" Rebekah answered, knowing of Hayley's current broken status, and the fact that the dresses she gets are worth a fortune, "well I have some money…" before Hayley was able to continue that sentence of hers, Klaus interrupted "now, now what kind of a man will I be if I let you pay?" Hayley wanted to protest but before she could Klaus said "my brother is not the only gentleman here, little wolf".
Hayley was going for a second protest considering she hates handouts "like I said before…" however before she was able to finish that sentence Klaus sensed what she's ganna say and decided to interrupt once again "it's not a handout, I owe you remember" this time Hayley was left speechless, she simply couldn't come up with an answer so she decided to give up a lost cause.
"Let's go, we got to hurry, we have a lot to do" Rebekah squealed anxiously, she started dragging Hayley along the way, "Rebekah the party start at 9 she should be here at 8" Klaus warned his sister he knew that if he let her have her way she may never come back, "that's 3 hours from now" Hayley said as if they had all the time in the world "which means we barely have time, let's go" Rebekah kept dragging a now shocked Hayley along the way, and all Hayley managed to do was look back at Klaus miming 'help me' with a pleading face as she's being dragged by Rebekah, however all she got was a huge loud laugh from both Klaus and Kol.
