It was Sunday afternoon. Kol, Tiffany and Amy just returned from the hospital after Kol was discharged.
' oh God!' Tiffany exclaimed collapsing on the couch.
' we're home!' Amy said sitting on the couch too.
Kol just gently sat down, he didn't say anything.
The maids took their bags from the car into their rooms.
' sadly, today is the end of my stay, we should make it count. Am I right Tiffany?' Amy asked
' yeah, you're right. We'll just have dinner and maybe play a game, or I think a movie night will be cool' Tiffany replied
' that will do' Amy said
' and lest I forget, mom and dad sends their regards. I told them...' she broke the news but was interrupted mid sentence
' I hope you didn't tell them what happened' Kol asked
' of course not, I know better than to tell them.' she replied and Kol breathed a sigh of relief
' they'd have taken the next available flight down to California just to see you' she added
' thank you' he said to her
' though I feel so bad keeping this from them, knowing they could help ' she confessed
' Amy you can't back down, at least not now' Tiffany said
' I know' was Amy's response
Amy's parents Mr and Mrs Mikaelson were like parents to them. The only difference between them and their parents is the fact that they don't live in the same house as they.
A maid walked into the sitting room with glasses of juice and served them, then left.
' thank you' Tiffany said taking a sip.
' the audition for our movie begins tomorrow, right?' Amy asked Tiffany
' how time flies. It totally escaped my mind' Tiffany replied
' well I hope we get the suitable characters needed' Amy said
' of course. That's not gonna be a problem seeing as people keep pouring in.' Tiffany replied
' all thanks to you. You're the best boss one could have' Kol said a bit sarcastic
' why don't you give it a try? You could work for me for a week, let's see if you'll still have that picture of me being the best boss one could have.' Tiffany said with a smirk.
' did I say the best boss? No that wasn't what I was going to say. I meant the most fierce and terrible boss. Yeah. That was what I meant' Kol corrected himself immediately
' what did you call me?' Tiffany asked feigning anger.
she took a cushion ready to strike
' say that one more time and I'll send you back to the hospital' she threatened
' what an empty threat' Kol mumbled staring at his phone
' will you guys stop it. For Christ's sake Tiffany, we just got back and it's not time for games. Kol will be stressed up, come on consider that.' Amy said looking frustrated
' tell that to him' Tiffany replied rolling her eyeballs
Just then, Kol's phone rang.
' yes David, any lead?' he asked
' yes boss. We tracked the vehicle used and we found it in an abandoned warehouse' David reported
Kol didn't say a word, he only raised his brows in surprise
' weren't you able to get an ID from the plate to know who purchased the vehicle?' Kol asked again
' the plate was stolen boss. We lost them' David said finally
' that's not good enough. We need to work harder to get those guys as soon as possible' he said indifferently
' Boss, whoever is after your family is very dangerous and you seem to be the target.'
' I know that.' Kol said pausing for a while then he continued
' set up a meeting with the director of the FBI, by 9am tomorrow.' Kol ordered
' yes Boss' David replied
' and also, deploy more security to the house immediately. Security around here needs to be tight' Kol said
' yes boss' David answered and ended the call.
' Kol? is everything alright?' Tiffany asked getting up from the couch
' we lost them' Kol said effortlessly
' oh God' Tiffany exclaimed pacing up and down the sitting room
' so what are we gonna do about it?' Amy asked, she was worried too
If these criminals were after Kol and Tiffany, then she wasn't safe as well
' no need to worry, I'm on it.' Kol said sounding pretty cool. He didn't seem to be so moved by whatever is happening. All he was worried about Tiffany and Amy getting hurt. He won't let that happen, no matter what.
' I don't think I can keep this from mum and dad much longer. It's getting more dangerous' Amy confessed
' they'll be arriving tomorrow' Amy added.
' don't worry Amy, I'll sort it out I promise' Kol said trying to calm her down
' this should be between us, for now' he added
' but I won't be able to take it if anyone gets hurt' Amy said
' Amy no one is going to get hurt. Kol said he'll fix it. I trust him, you got to trust him on this one too' Tiffany said
' fine, okay.' Amy finally said
Just then the doorbell rang.
' that should be the delivery guy.' Tiffany said going towards the door
She had ordered some pizza.

' dad! I'm off. I got to see Aunt Chloe today.' she said to her dad who was in the study going through some files
.
' oh yeah. I almost forgot.' he said
' I won't take so long. I'll be back before you know it.' Rebecca said
' okay.' he replied
' will you like to come with me?' she asked
' I've got an important meeting with the CEO of RealHouse today' he said
' alright, goodluck with the meeting dad.' she said giving him a hug and then she left
Chloe was Tom's younger sister who resides at the outskirts of California. She was very close to Rebecca's mum before her death.
She had asked Rebecca to come over and that she had something for her.
She wondered what she had for her this time around.
