Klaus walked the streets of the city all day, checking all the cafes and shops that seemed to be hiving with teenagers but saw no sign of Lily. It was as she had just disappeared into thin air. Feeling adjudicated he headed into the bar for a drink and a chat with Cami, he had forgotten how nice she was to talk to, how she made him feel almost human again. This morning had been good; he hadn't realised how much he had missed her while he mourned his daughter until spending time with her today.

Cami was just about to lock the door when he entered the bar.

'Ahh Camille, how about a drink for an old friend?' he grinned

'Can't you see I'm trying to close up Klaus?'

Klaus wasn't in the mood to be rejected; he had had a long day and wanted bourbon.

'Well I'm sure you have got ten minutes, have a drink with me' he said pushing past her to the bar and helping himself.

'What is it Klaus, are you annoyed Lily left?'

'How do you know that?' he demanded, growing impatient with Cami, maybe coming here wasn't a good idea, he could feel his anger growing swelling inside him and he wasn't in the mood to be judged by Cami.

'Wow calm down! She came by earlier, said she didn't want to out stay her welcome'

'Yes that's what happened, she just left. I wanted to talk to her before she left though, do you know were she is headed?'

'Cut the crap Klaus, she has no money, nothing but the clothes on her back and you gave her a bed for the night, she wouldn't just leave and certainly not without talking to you or saying thank you. What did you do?'

'You seem to know her pretty well Cami, didn't she tell you' Klaus smiled sarcastically trying to keep his anger under control.

'I gave her a job out back and told her she could stay with me.'

'What? Why didn't you call me?' Klaus hissed at her.

Cami took a step back, why was he getting so wound up at this? She thought she had done the right thing, sure Lily was a lovely kid and she had a feeling they would get on great but the real reason she had took her in was because of him. Because Lily had unknowingly brought him back to her.

'Klaus… I… she was fine a bit jumpy when she first got in, looked like she had ran the whole way here but she relaxed, did a great job out back and I gave her the key to my place and told her to head on over their about half an hour ago.'

'You should have called me Camille, I was the one found the girl last night and I've been looking for her all day'

'Why? What really happened this morning? What is it about this girl anyway? Why does it mean so much that you see her again? What is she to you?'

'Shes… nobody' Klaus said downing his bourbon and slamming it onto the bar. 'I just, lost my temper, it scared her away and I wanted to apologise'

'You apologise?' Cami was shocked. Lily really was having an effect on him. 'Why did you lose your temper?'

'I…. I… I caught her in Hopes nursery' he muttered

'What! And she is still alive, you didn't kill her? What is it with her, why do you care so much, talk to me Klaus. I haven't seen you this way since… well since…'

'Hope?' Klaus interrupted

'Well…yes. What does this girl mean to you, why were you so angry I didn't tell you she had shown up here?'

'Nice try Cami, but your mind games won't work tonight I am afraid' downing his second bourbon, he stood up 'Now mind if I accompany you home, I really must talk with the girl'
