After a few minutes of heavy discussions and arguments, Weevil's voice got louder than the others as he suggested:
"Why don't I gather Tyler and we'll do a quick sweep of the wood to see if any old white oak tree is around?"
"I'll go with you!" Rebekah said.
"Me too!" Sage and Finn said together.
.
After Weevil, Rebekah, Sage and Finn left the house, followed by Kol and Elijah who decided to help and look, Klaus said:
"In case they don't find anything we need to look… Who was in charge of the milling around here?"
"I'm not sure…" Bonnie said, quickly looking back at Veronica and Klaus, trying to hide that she was watching Elijah walk away.
"I know I've got this info somewhere in one of the files I created in my computer… I remember storing the info but I'm not sure who it was…" Veronica said thoughtfully before she ran to get her computer and opened it downstairs a few minutes later.
"Wow, you've really got files on everyone…" Bonnie said in awe as she looked over the blonde's shoulder.
"Almost everyone yes… I like to be prepared, especially in a town like this where everyone has a hidden agenda and some sort of secrets!" Veronica replied as she looked through the files.
"Ha yes, here it is… Well, I don't know if it's good news or not but the local milling company used to be owned by the Salvatore family back when it was still running." Veronica said after a moment of looking though her files.
"Well, their family was full of pack rats according to Elena… They probably kept the records…" Bonny said.
"We need to find a way to be able to look through them without being disturbed or having to tell them anything…" Veronica said.
"Like breaking and entering?" Klaus asked, excited to see his love in action.
Veronica nodded.
"Well, I don't mind helping and keeping the hot blue eyed vampire occupied!" Lilly said, suddenly appearing.
"Lilly doesn't mind taking care of keeping Damon busy!" Veronica announced.
"I guess I could find a way to keep Stefan busy… Talk to him about my concern for Elena or something… I can get Caroline to help me, she's quite good at distracting people…" Bonnie added.
"Good, let's get on it right away then!" Klaus said.
"You don't want to wait to see if the other found anything?" Veronica asked softly.
"No, if I learned something from life is that we need to look for it right away if we don't want to get sidetracked by anyone." Klaus replied.
"Lilly left already." Veronica informed them.
"I'll go right away then." Bonnie said before she picked her purse and left, already dialling her phone to reach Caroline.
"We should leave a note for the other when they come back…" Veronica suggested.
"I just texted them." Klaus said as he put his arm around Veronica's waist to guide her outside to his car.
.
While Stefan was being interrogated by Caroline and Bonnie about Elena's behaviour and what they could do to help her be like she used to be, Lilly was keeping Damon entertained at the witch house and was having quite some fun.
In the mean time, Klaus and Veronica had managed to enter the Boarding house and it didn't take them long to locate the records in the library.
"It's going to take us ages to find the right one!" Veronica exclaimed when she saw the long line of Milling records on the shelf.
"Maybe not… Let's look in the early years of the town first then we'll look up…" He suggested.
"Okay then, let's get down to work!" Veronica replied as they both grabbed a book and looked through it as fast as they could.
They stayed what seemed like ages to Veronica and in reality only 3 hours, looking through old books when Veronica finally found it.
"Here, look, I've got it!" She said, never speaking out loud of what the three had become in case someone was listening.
"Let's grab this book, we'll burn it at home!" Klaus decided and while Veronica put the book in her purse, Klaus put all the others in the right place, managing somehow to hide that a year was missing.
Here we go... Next chapter is just a fill up... But there is some talk about Elena...
