"Is it true?" Kol asked as soon as the door shut.
"It's true" Meredith confirmed, "Is that why you came back?"
Kol looked tired like he hadn't slept properly for weeks. There were dark circles under his eyes and his face looked stressed. It's not the cocky Kol she was used to. Kol and Meredith were a couple before the Empire collapsed, they used to meet in secret. No one knew that Meredith was seeing the youngest Mikaelson. She didn't want to be judged because she was sure that people would instantly lose respect for her. When Kol had to disappear she'd found out that she was pregnant. But for safety reasons she couldn't contact him. Her heart leapt with happiness to see him again.
"Yes" Kol nodded, "Thanks for causing that distraction for the FBI. What did you threaten the tart with?"
"Deportation"
Kol nodded in approval.
"Clever"
"Klaus and Elijah are in custody" Meredith told him, "Klaus is actually being held where I work"
Kol looked interested in that, his eyes darkening with concern.
"How's he being treated?" Kol wondered.
"As well as you can expect, he got thirty years" Meredith said.
Kol laid down on the bed and appeared deep in thought. Meredith laid next to him and held his hand.
"You took a huge risk coming back here"
"I know" he whispered.
"The FBI aren't happy with you, a clown honestly?" Meredith lightly chuckled.
Kol chuckled with her.
"I couldn't resist"
"How have you been?"
A part of her was dreading the answer. She's been so worried about him ever since he had to flee she country.
"Alright I suppose" Kol told her, "The FBI were close to finding me anyway. That bitch Bennett has been chasing me for years"
They were silent for a while, neither spoke for neither knew what to say. But Meredith knew he was in danger as long as he stayed in America.
"You can't stay here" Meredith finally said, "It's too dangerous. they already know your back in the country"
"But what about the child?" Kol turned to her.
"I don't know what we're going to do"
Kol placed a loving kiss on the top of her head.
"I love you"
"I love you too" Meredith smiled.
...
It had been a week since Klaus first came to the hospital and Caroline was finding herself looking forward to they're sessions. It was her guilty pleasure which she'd never admit to. She was fascinated by how his mind operates. Caroline was strangely drawn to him, he was charming. Sometimes it was easy to forget everything he'd done. For today she wanted to focus on his siblings. They were in the usual room and he always had a smug smile for her when she entered the room.
"Good mourning Doctor Forbes" Klaus greeted in a slightly flirtatious tone.
"Good mourning" she greeted back, "How are you feeling this mourning?"
"Insane" he joked.
Inside Caroline chuckled a little but she knew better then to get too familiar with a patient. She sat down and prepared the notes and the tape recorder. She noticed he was watching her intently.
"Today we're going to focus on your siblings" Caroline told him.
"What about them?" Klaus grumbled, suddenly pissed.
Klaus, Caroline noticed he could flip his emotions quickly. He'd be charming and polite one minute and be an enraged psycho the next. At the moment he looked angry that she wanted to talk about his siblings.
"What's your relationship with them?" Caroline asked.
"I told you, rocky" Klaus said stubbornly.
"Just tell me" Caroline sighed.
"Of course sweet lady" Klaus agreed, winking mischievously.
Caroline was used to him flirting with her so she tried to ignore it. But a dark part of her enjoyed it which scared her.
"Me and Elijah have always had a...stormy relationship" Klaus began, "Everything feels like a competition between us"
Klaus looked sad like he was remembering a bad memory. It was clear that it wasn't a happy family.
"Like what?" Caroline probed.
"Over girls" he shrugged, "Jobs, skills, anything and everything. We'd always disagree"
Klaus was silent for a few moments.
"What about Kol and Rebekah?" Caroline asked.
"Me and Rebekah have always got on" Klaus smiled suddenly, "She's my only sister after all"
"And Kol?"
"Uneven" he shrugged, "Sometimes we get on and sometimes we don't"
"How does that make you feel?" Caroline wanted to know.
"Nothing" Klaus said darkly, "I feel nothing"
It was true. Sometimes she forgets his true nature. The part of him that kills, the magnet drawing her in. Klaus' expression was suddenly blank, a face that showed no emotions that he'd shown a few seconds ago. All of it was gone.
"I don't believe you" Caroline said firmly.
"Believe what you like love, you know it's true" Klaus looked at her in the eyes, "That's why you like me"
Caroline didn't say anything, she just continued on making notes. That made Klaus smile.
...
Kol was sitting on the coach while Meredith was coming in with something to eat. She couldn't help but think about the future. She didn't want her child to be born on the run. But she didn't want it to grow up without a father either. Kol was watching the news with a serious expression on his face. When she came in he turned the TV off.
"So what are we going to do?" Meredith asked.
"Come with me" Kol said suddenly.
"On the run?" Meredith looked surprised.
"You were the only thing I was thinking about when I was away" Kol pleaded.
"Where would we go?" Meredith smiled.
Kol got a map out and placed it on the coffee table.
"Where do you want to go?" Kol offered, "We can go anywhere apart from Russia"
Meredith laughed as she looked at the map. She looked long and hard at it. Where did she want to go? She'd always liked Italy.
"Rome" she smiled before she began snogging him.
"If that's where my darling wants to go" Kol breathed when they parted, "There's just one thing I need to take care of first"
Meredith snuggled into him on the sofa.
"What?"
"I need to kill Tatia" Kol said darkly.
Meredith stood up suddenly, shocked.
"Why?"
Kol stood to join her. He looked really upset and conflicted.
"He betrayed my favourite brother" Kol said passionately.
"I heard she was arrested"
Kol sighed deeply and appeared deep in thought. Meredith sat next to him waiting for Kol to speak.
"Then we bail her out and then kill her" Kol suggested.
"You can't just waltz into a police station and bail her out" Meredith pointed out.
"Please" Kol begged, "I've never asked you for anything but I'm asking for this"
"You know I'd do anything for you" Meredith stroked his face affectionately, "But what kind of excuse am I going to give for bailing out someone I've never even met?"
"Your a therapist aren't you?"
...
Caroline was walking down the hospital corridor with a tune in her head. She was walking by Klaus' cell when she heard him call out for her. She stopped dead and for a few moments she thought she must be imagining it. But he called her name once again as clear and day. She walked up to his cell to see what he wanted.
"What is it?" Caroline asked.
"I need the toilet" he said in a dead panned voice.
"Then go in the one in your cell" Caroline stated the obvious.
"It's broken" he shrugged, "Just take me to the one at the end of the corridor.
"There are guards everywhere, you can't escape" Caroline said.
"Then it's no trouble" Klaus smiled smugly.
Caroline opened the door and led him to the loo, telling the guards what she was doing. When they reached the privacy of the toilet it was clear that Klaus didn't need the loo. He grabbed Caroline and kissed her violently. Caroline was struggling for breath. At first she fought but soon she just melted into it. It wasn't until she heard the voice of the guard outside did she think about what she was doing.
"I'm fine" she heaved.
Klaus was merely looking at her with a smug expression.
"Was it good for you?" he joked.
...
"Caroline breathe" Elena said mimicking breathing noises, "What happened?"
Elena and Caroline were sitting on the coach that evening with a tub of mini yum yums and a hot cup of tea. Caroline still couldn't believe what she's just done. She'd tongued a inmate! If her boss found out about this she was so fired AND she has to face him tomorrow. She's got another session with him.
"I made out with an inmate" Caroline told her.
Caroline couldn't tell her all the details because she wasn't supposed to talk about them outside her work. No one was even supposed to know which hospital he was at. Elena was used to Caroline being vague about her work, this is the most she's ever talked about it to her.
"Why!" Elena gasped.
"Well he made the first move" Caroline pointed out.
"But you didn't stop it?"
"No" Caroline shook her head, "I enjoyed it"
"Is this guy dangerous?"
If she only knew...
"Very"
"Then you know to be smart and stay away" Elena advised.
"Easier said then done" Caroline sighed.
...
"Agent Bennett!" Sloane cried, "Tatia Petrova has been murdered"
Bonnie was frozen to the spot while the shock was clearly showing in her face. The whole squad was silent for a few moments.
"Bad move Kol" Bonnie said under her breath.
"Dead?" Jones repeated in disbelief.
"Dead" Sloane confirmed.
...
Tatia Maria Petrova, 28 years, 6 mouths, 4 days, 7 hours and 3 seconds old had died. Her dead body lay on her expensive rug she'd imported from Berlin. If one word could sum up Tatia it would be materialistic. She loved her things from her new season clothes straight from the Paris catwalk, the her make up imported from London. Even her furniture could feed a family for a years. So yes, Tatia had many things but friends wasn't one of them. It would be safe to say that there wouldn't be many people at her funeral. So when the police looked at next of kin to contact the list was extremely low. Her eldest triplet was in Paris but her youngest, who she hasn't spoken to in years was in the city. There was only one person to contact.
Elena Petrova's doorbell rang at 7 in the evening. She got up from talking to Caroline and opened the door. Her expression dropped to see the FBI at her door. Bonnie wanted to interview her personally. She found it very suspicious that the moment Kol comes back into the country the woman who betrayed his brother turns up dead.
"Good Evening Miss Petrova" Bonnie used her sympathetic voice while showing her ID, "Do you mind if we ask you a few questions?"
"What is this about?" Elena asked, getting worried.
"Your sister Tatia is dead" Bonnie revealed.
Elena let out a loud sob and fell to her knees in tears. Bonnie couldn't believe there was someone out there who actually cared for Tatia.
"What happened?" Elena gasped as Caroline rushed to the door to comfort her.
"She was murdered" Bonnie told her plainly.
Elena let out a fresh cry of grief as Caroline bundled her up in her arms.
"We need to ask you a few questions" Bonnie reminded her.
"Give her a moment" Caroline snapped.
Elena shook her head and bravely stood up with a puffy red face and panda eyes.
"No. I want to help" she said, her voice shaking.
"Let's go to the living room" Caroline suggested.
Bonnie followed them through the kitchen and into the living room. Caroline sat her on the sofa, giving her friend support. Bonnie was a workaholic who lived alone. She felt a sad pang inside her but she quickly hid it away like she always did.
"I'm ready" Elena nodded.
"What do you know of your sister?" Bonnie began.
"I know she fell in with the gangster, Elijah Mikaelson" Elena began, "I've never met him myself and I haven't heard from her since"
"You don't know who she talked too? Who her friends were? If she had any contact with Kol Mikaelson?"
"I don't think she had any friends" Elena shook her head, "She wasn't really the friends type. Like I said, I haven't talked to my sister since she left to be with Elijah. Everything else I've just heard on the news like her being arrested and testifying at Elijah's trial"
Elena suddenly started crying hard on Caroline's shoulder.
"I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help" Elena sobbed.
"What about your other triplet?" Bonnie wondered.
"Katerina?" Elena sniffed, "She hasn't heard from her in years anyway"
"Alright then" Bonnie smiled as she left the house.
Bonnie decided to question Elijah tomorrow.

Klaus was sitting in his gloomy cell thinking about a certain blonde therapist...
