Klaus and Caroline arrived at some bleak hotel in Prague. To say it was bleak was an understatement. It was more like a shit hole. Damp with rust that had infected the graffiti stained walls that properly hadn't been redecorated since the 70's. The fan up ahead was slow stunk of tobacco while a noisy fly was whizzing around the room. A fat man reading a dirty magazine was at the reception. He looked like he hadn't moved since the 70's either. When they entered he looked surprised like he wasn't used to customers.
"We'd like a room please" Klaus asked.
The man didn't seem to recognise him which didn't surprise Caroline. He booked them in at a gradual pace and then handed them a greasy key which Caroline didn't want to touch. When they left for the room she spotted a few rats, peeling wallpaper and it was obvious that the cleaner left a long time ago. Their room was called 208 and inside it wasn't much better. The light above them kept blinking on and off and the bed was a single with sheets so dirty Caroline didn't want to touch them. It was a small room with a tiny window covered in dirt.
"Why are we staying in this shit hole" Caroline complained.
"I don't like it either but I can't exactly go to a five star hotel now can I?" Klaus pointed out.
"But you deserve it!" Caroline moaned, "Me? I didn't do anything; I don't deserve to be here!"
Caroline tossed her luggage to the floor in despair.
"It won't be forever" Klaus promised, "This is just until the heat dies down a little and then we can go a bit up market"
"I miss my home, my family and friends!" Caroline gasped, "I'm never going to see them again!"
"I told you that I need you here" Klaus persisted.
"I'm not doing anything!" Caroline argued.
Klaus put down his luggage and strode towards her.
"I've already I told that I need you here with me to keep me steady" Klaus explained.
Caroline just rolled her eyes and didn't say anything.
"I think we need a good night's sleep" Klaus suggested.
"Are you going to handcuff me to the radiator?" Caroline guessed.
"If that's what you want" Klaus shrugged.
"It is because there's no way I'm touching those filthy sheets"
…
It was a great victory for the FBI. They'd finally captured Kol and Rebekah Mikaelson as well as Meredith Fell. They were being held under heavy guard at the precinct. Kol felt so stupid he should have listened to Klaus and got out while he could. Elijah was fine after all. Rebekah felt annoyed that she'd been captured. Meredith was feeling scared, she didn't want to go to prison. But they're celebration had a dark side. The two most dangerous Mikaelson's, Klaus and Elijah were still free. Bonnie knew that both of them would have fled the country by now. That's why she didn't feel like celebrating. Maybe one of the others knows where they've gone. She decided to start with the pregnant girl. She knew she couldn't be completely ruthless with her due to her condition but she might be the easiest to crack.
Meredith was taken to the interrogation room with Bonnie and Finn already sat down. She came in carefully being three mouths along she had already started showing a tiny bit. Bonnie hated interrogating pregnant women but it had to be done.
"We brought you here to ask you a few questions" Bonnie began.
Meredith looked at Finn who was quite cold to her as if she wasn't carrying his nephew/niece.
"You're Finn aren't you?" Meredith noticed.
"Yes" Finn nodded, "How can you tell?"
"Your eyes and your looks" Meredith shrugged, "And of course your accent"
Finn looked annoyed that he'd just been compared to his brothers but carried on like he hadn't heard anything.
"Do you know where Klaus or Elijah Mikaelson is?" Fin asked.
Meredith knew exactly where they were but she wasn't going to say anything to them.
"No" she lied.
"Your lying aren't you?" Finn guessed.
Meredith just crossed her arms and didn't say anything.
"I'll make you a deal" Bonnie said in a softer tone, "If you tell us where they are then I'll let you go"
Meredith just spat on her and crossed her arms again. Bonnie decided to abandon the 'nice' approach.
"If you don't want to give birth to your child in prison I suggest you talk!" Bonnie snapped.
Meredith continued in her silence.
"You love my brother, Kol. Don't you?" Finn noticed.
"With all my heart" Meredith answered.
"Don't you care about what he's done?" Finn said furiously, "I know my brother better then you do. He's a horrible individual"
Meredith just remained silent.
"We can't win with this girl" Bonnie hissed.
"Don't you care?" Meredith suddenly asked Finn.
"About what?" Finn shrugged.
"Do you want your nephew/niece to be born in a prison?" she put to him.
Finn just left the room, obviously not comfortable answering that question. Bonnie went after him and found that his cool demeanour was back on form.
"Are you Ok?" Bonnie asked.
"Yes" Finn lied.
"I'll totally understand if you can't do this" Bonnie began, "You are related to them after all"
"I don't care about them!" Finn snapped, shocked at the accusation, "It's just the baby hasn't done anything wrong and it's my only family"
"I'll make sure it goes to a good home" Bonnie promised.
"Thank you"
…
Caroline woke up in the morning to the smell and a fresh breakfast. There were sausages, fried egg, bacon and some orange juice to gulp it down with. Klaus placed the tray in front of her and unlocked her handcuffs.
"Where did you get this?" Caroline asked, quite sure he hadn't got it from the hotel.
"There's a nice café down the street" Klaus told her.
"Is this your way of saying sorry?" Caroline raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Maybe" he admitted.
"You're lucky I'm hungry" Caroline shrugged before digging in.
It was delicious, she felt like she hadn't had anything decent to eat in days. When she was finished Klaus' expression suddenly went sombre.
"I've got some bad news" Klaus finally said, "Kol, Rebekah and your friend Meredith have been captured by the FBI"
Caroline didn't really see it as bad news. She thought Kol and Rebekah had got what they deserved. Meredith she couldn't stand anymore because of her love for Kol. She'd kept her prisoner and now she was one. Well karma's a bitch!
"Ok" Caroline said like it was nothing.
"Those idiots should have listened to me" Klaus spat.
"Do you know where Elijah is?" Caroline asked.
"No" he shook his head.
…
Elijah was about to board a plane to Bulgaria. Elena was with him giving him his official documents before he left.
"You are now a free citizen of Bulgaria" Elena explained, "Your name is Deyan Nikolai Abadjiev, your 36 and your own an antiques shop. You live in the capital city of Sofia. The rest of the details are on the document. Here are your conditions, apart from the antiques store which we are putting in your name you can't start up any business. If you fall into crime again you will be immediately handed over to the Americans. You've got one shot so make it count"
Elijah swiftly nodded.
"I agree to your conditions and thank you for everything" Elijah thanked gravely.
"Your welcome" Elena smiled.
Elijah acted on impulse and kissed Elena deeply which she didn't fight. She didn't even look surprised. When they parted she just wished him good luck and with that Elijah left America bound for Bulgaria.
It was time to find Klaus.
…
Kol was shoved a little more roughly into the interrogation room, where his brother and Agent Bennett were waiting. Finn looked much less sympathetic to his youngest brother; Kol hadn't laid eyes on his brother for years and felt quite emotional, opposite to his brother's feelings.
"Hello Kol" Finn greeted coldly.
"Finn"
"You know what we want to know" Finn pressed, "Where are Elijah and Klaus?"
Kol just laughed a mocking laugh which earned him a stern look from Bonnie.
"You're mad if you think I'd tell you" Kol chuckled, "So this is Agent Bennett the thorn in my side for the last few mouths"
Bonnie just maintained her irritated glare.
"I heard you turned down a promotion just to catch me, I'm flattered" Kol joked.
Bonnie had indeed turned down a promotion a month ago to catch the Mikaelson's but Kol seemed to be taking it as a compliment.
"Where are they?" Bonnie yelled.
"That's for me to know and for you too, dot, dot" Kol laughed.
"I don't know why you find this so funny" Bonnie shouted, "Your going to prison for the rest of your life and so is your sister. Meredith will be looking at 10 years for accessory to murder and harbouring a fugitive! Your child will be born in prison and will be raised by strangers"
This seemed to bring Kol to reality. He'd traded his cockiness for anxiety. Bonnie seemed pleased with the effect she'd brought. Kol gave Finn a dirty look. The guy who used to play with him as a child, sneak him sweets when father wasn't looking. The man Kol looked up to as his older brother. It seemed clear that he was long dead.
"That baby is your blood" Kol hissed.
"I'll make sure it gets into a good home. I promise you" Finn promised, "But that's not the point at the moment. Will you tell where Klaus and Rebekah are?"
"No!" Kol refused.
…
Caroline and Klaus drove for miles is an old car that wouldn't attract attention. They had a different car from yesterday and will properly have a different car tomorrow. Caroline was struck with a horrible fear. What if this was to be her life from now on? Constantly moving, from shit hole to shit hole in old bangers. Ever since Klaus had heard of his siblings capture he's become depressed and spoke rarely. Caroline thought that despite what he says he deeply cares about his family and that is something that Caroline has to admire.
"So where are we headed?" Caroline asked.
"We're catching a plane to Rome" Klaus told her.
"Let me guess we're going in the cargo hold?" Caroline guessed sarcastically.
"Someone's meeting us there to pull us through" Klaus informed.
…
It was Rebekah's turn to be questioned and she took it with attitude. The guards led her into the integration room. As soon as she spotted her long lost brother she spat on him. Finn looked like he had been expecting this and brought out cloth to wipe his face.
"Hello darling brother" she greeted sarcastically, "How nice to see you with the Bennett whore"
Bonnie looked shocked at her terms but was professional enough not to rise to the bait. Finn merely smirked.
"You haven't changed one bit" Finn insulted.
"And neither have you" she said with mocking sweetness.
"Let's get on with it" Bonnie advised, "Do you know where your brothers, Elijah and Klaus are?"
"No"
Bonnie rolled her eyes in frustration.
"Rebekah, don't lie!" Finn snapped.
"I'm not lying but if I was then I could say, now could I?" she teased.
"If you tell us we'll lighten your sentence" Bonnie promised.
"Sorry but unlike some people I value my family" Rebekah shot a dirty look at Finn.
"You were always such a drama queen" Finn rolled his eyes.
"Are you going to answer the question?" Bonnie focused.
"No" Rebekah laughed, echoing Kol.
"This is useless" Finn sighed.
"Sorry bro!"
…
Agent Bonnie had to deal with the press. She'd always hated press conferences and this was no exception. The country want to know what's going on and she owed them an explanation. The press room was filled with journalists, cameras and police. Bonnie beat down her nerves and appraoched the microphone.
"Kol and Rebekah Mikaelson are safely behind bars. They are awaiting trial" Bonnie began, "We have also captured Dr Meredith Fell who will be charged with accesory to murder and for habouring a criminal. We also regret to inform you that Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson are still at large. It's believed that they have left the counry but it's not confirmed"
Then she relaxed and waited for the questions.
...
Marcel was a 'friend of the family'. He was insanly loyal to the Mikaelsons and in parciular Klaus who he grew up with. His parents had abandoned him so he grew up on the streets. Poor, starving and hungry. That was until Mikael had found him. When he managed to swindle him, Mikael was impressed and took him in. Anything important was always given to him, they're most trusted advisor.
He was waiting for Klaus and his blonde 'package' to board a plane to Rome. Marcel had taken special care to arrange this. Finally after what seemed like hours they finally arrived. Klaus embared Marcel like a brother. It had been a long time after all.
"I heard you were locked up in the funny farm" Marcel chuckled.
"It didn't take" he smiled back.
They both laughed ignoring Caroline.
"Oh, where are my manners" Klaus introduced, "This is Caroline Forbes"
"Dr Caroline Forbes" she corrected him.
"She's quite feisty isn't she?"
Suddenly there was a gunshot, missing Klaus by centimeters. They all ducked down as Elena Petrova came into view aiming her gun at them.
"Elena!" Caroline gasped in surprise.
