In the living room Nik was starring daggers at Kallum, while Elijah was asking him various questions. Kol hear his sister call for him, as did Elijah and Nik.
"If you'd excuse me" said Kol as he walked out of the living room and headed upstairs.
Elijah glanced at Niklaus as if asking, "Do you know what's going on?" Nik just stared at him blankly and shrugged his shoulders.
… … … … …
Rebekah was standing in front of her three way mirror when she saw Kol walk in.
"You called" he said coolly before he took a look at her and shook his head. "Bekah there exists no possible scenario where you manage to leave the house wearing that" he said while gesturing to her dress she had on "you are practically naked!"
"Kol, stop it. Please, just help me zip up the dress" she said with pleading eyes.
Kol grunted but did as he was asked. "I hope you have a nice long – long coat you are going to wear tonight as well." He made sure to put emphasis on the word "long."
"I do. I promise" she said turning around and giving him a kiss on the cheek. She grabbed her coat and scarf. Kol held out his hand so she could support herself while putting on her heels. She gave him a smile in appreciation. "Okay. I'm ready" and with that she headed downstairs. Kol walked after her seconds later.

Kallum saw Rebekah walk into the living room and immediately stood up and let his jaw drop. He was aw-struck. His eyes slowly trailed her whole body.
"Im ready, let's go" she said enthusiastically grabbing Kallum by the hand not bothering to pay attention to the stares her two older brothers were giving her. There were nearly out the door when Elijah spoke up and said "Kallum, remember what we spoke about, home by midnight."
Kallum responded immediately with a nod and a quiet "yes, of course…sir"
"Elijah" Rebekah said sounding like a child and letting go of Kallum's hand leaving him standing by the front door and making her way to where Elijah was now standing "Midnight, really!"
"Be happy it's not ten o'clock sister" he said sounding fatherly and giving her a kiss on the forehead, "and please, don't hesitate to put that coat on." He didn't agree with what she was wearing, but he knew better than to ask her to change outfits, because if he did so this would only cause her to wear even shorter dresses to spite him.
"I won't" she said with a smile.
"Bekah" said Nik coming to stand in front of her. "If you need me – us" he said gesturing to his himself and to his brothers "all you have to do is call and we'll be there in seconds" he said seriously in a rare display of public concern as well as love for his sister.
She hugged him and whispered "I will. I promise." And with that she said her last goodbyes, "Bye Elijah. Bye Nik. Bye Kol" she said giving them all a quick kiss on the cheek before walking out to meet Kallum who was already holding open the door to his car for her.
… … … … …
"Wow. That was intense. Your brother Kol is…um forward. And your brother Klaus looked like he was going to kill me the whole time I was in your house. And Elijah … he was nice. It seems like he keeps your brothers under control" Kallum said while leaving the drive way.
"I'm sorry about that" she said gesturing at her home "I suppose I could have warned you a bit more" she said embarrassed.
"It's alright" he said grabbing hold of her hand and planting a kiss on it.
… … … … …
Rebekah had left about ten minutes ago and Nik was already feeling anxious. He should have stopped her; this Kallum guy was a total stranger. "I should have stopped her" he said softly to himself.
"Nik you are creating a draft" said Kol annoyed.
"Niklaus, please stop pacing, you will ruin the carpet, our sister will not be pleased if you do so. Why don't you grab a drink and settle down" said Elijah.
"Am I the only one who cares for Rebekah's safety" he exclaimed while waving his hands in the air with exasperation.
"What do possibly mean brother" asked Elijah.
"She is out there" he said making an exaggerated motion gesturing the town outside their door "with someone we have known less than thirty minutes Elijah."
"Brother" Elijah said with a smirk on his face "do you truly believe I would not watch over her tonight?"
Nik looked at Elijah with a confused look then looked at Kol in search for inspiration.
Elijah then got up from the seat he was in, straightened out his jacket and buttoned it up and headed towards the front door. "Are you coming" he asked looking at Kol and Nik.
Nik chuckled, of course, it made sense now, Elijah was probably just giving Rebekah and Kallum a head start so they would not see that they were following them.
