"Welcome back to Chicago, Stefan" Klaus said as the black suv pulled into a small warehouse. Klaus got out of the suv followed by Lori and finally Stefan, "what are we going here" Stefan asked as Klaus opened a large wooden door. "I know how much you loved it here, bringing back memories of the good old ripper days" Klaus said as the trio watched a large black trailer approach.

"Blacked out most of them" Stefan said resting his hands on his waist, "a lot of blood a lot of partying, the details are all a blur" Stefan said. "Well that is a crying shame, the details are what makes it legend" Klaus responded while Lori leaned against a wall. Klaus was explaining chicago but Lori kept zoning out, something she did often when she was bored.

"Chicago was magical" Klaus said as they continued to look out into the dark sky. "Yeah well i'll take your word for it" Stefan sighed pushing himself off the wall he was leaning on. "Like i said i don't really remember most of it" Stefan said as he walked away, "ready to get down to business, then" Klaus asked turning around. "Finally" Lori drawed out, "something interesting i hope" she said with a hint of mischief.

"Why am i still with you we've had our fun, your hybrids failed i mean don't you want to move on" Stefan asked crossing his arm. "oooh, harsh Stef" Lori said tilting her head, "we're going to see my favorite witch-" "ouch" Lori interrupted. "If anyone can solve our hybrid problem it's her" Klaus said walking over gesturing for Lori to get in. She got in followed by Klaus, then finally Stefan who as always had his cold face on.

"Looks familiar doesn't it" Klaus asked once they entered Gloria's, Lori dragged her hand across a very dusty table. "I can't believe this place is still here" Stefan said as he observed the place, the door opened with a thud and the women of the hour walked out. "You've got to be kidding me" Gloria said slightly shocked, "so a hybrid walks into a bar, and says to the bartender—" Gloria quickly cut him off "stop you may be invincible but that doesn't make you funny" She said as she walked forward.

"I remember you" Gloria said to Stefan, "yeah, your Gloria" Stefan said stepping forward. Gloria hummed, "shouldn't you be" "old and dead?" Gloria cut him off again. "Now of o die who's going to run this place?" she asked. "Gloria's a very powerful witch" Klaus told Stefan, "i can slow the aging down some, herbs and spells, but don't worry it'll catch up soon" she paused turning to Lori.

"What's your secret" she asked, Lori tilted her head, "sleeping, for years on end" Lori replied simply. Klaus turned to Stefan "Stefan why don't you go fix us some drinks" Stefan got the hint "yeah sure" he said before retreating. Klaus gestured for Lori to follow, so with a heavy sigh she left too.

Lori walked over sitting on the bar top while Stefan began making drinks, Lori didn't waste any time to ask "so where is she" she asked swinging her legs back and fourth. Stefan turned to her abruptly then to Klaus, "he can't hear us, I made sure of that, now I'll ask you again where. is. she." Lori demanded. Stefan turned to her staring at her for a moment before returning to his drink.

"I don't know what your talking about" Stefan said with his fake innocence. "I don't buy it, Klaus tries to make hybrids and somehow it fails" Lori paused jumping down from the bar, she walked standing behind Stefan so her chest was pressed against his back. "I know she's alive, and when I find her I will kill her I didn't do it before for my sister but now i work for Klaus, if he wants her dead she will be dead" Lori paused looking down. "Sooner or later, though I do prefer sooner" she whispered before stepping back.

Stefan turned to her his eyebrows furrowed, Lori sent him a smirk before turning and sitting back down.

"Obviously you did something wrong, look every spell has a loophole but a curse that old..." Gloria paused, "we'd have to contact the witch who created it" Gloria explained. "Well that would be the original witch, she's very dead" Klaus responded, "I know and for me to contact her I'll need help" Gloria paused. Stefan reached forward picking up a photo "fair warning he will find out soon" Lori whispered, her ears perked when she heard another name. "Bring me Rebekah" Gloria demanded, "Rebekah" Klaus began "she's a bit preoccupied" Klaus said looking around. "She has what I need, bring her to me" Gloria said just as Lori hopped down from the counter being finished with her drink. "What is this?" Stefan asked looking at the photo he picked up before, "well I told you Stefan Chicago is a magical place" Klaus said with a witty smirk. "But this is me, with you" Stefan said flipping the black and white photo over, Lori took a glimpse at it as she furrowed her eyebrows being confused as to how Stefan has met Klaus before.

It took a moment to rack up possibilities but in the end the one that made more sense was Stefan did indeed meet Rebekah but, Klaus had compelled his memories away.
