A New Life

32. Caleb's neighbour

Cami went to the French Quarter to see where Klaus kept the guy who kidnapped her and Sarah.

"I am leaving him in here. I sometimes gave him water and some food but nothing more. I didn't know what you wanted me to do with him."

"Can you keep him here?"

"Sure. What do you intend to do with him."

"I intend to make him suffer. He didn't just hurt me. He hurt my cousin. The only family I have left. I can't just let him go. And I don't care if you don't approve of this."

"I'm okay with it. Family is the most important thing a person has. Can be a strength and a weakness at the same time. I know I would do whatever it took to protect my family."

"Thank you for understanding."

*Meanwhile*

Caleb was on his house with Kol because he decided to call Kol for an advice about the whole Davina thing and the possibility of her not liking Star Wars. Kol also never had seen Star Wars but Caleb couldn't really blame him since Kol had been in a coffin for most of his life.

Kol decided to watch the movie with Caleb and 121 minutes later they were looking at the television stupefy from how much they loved the movie.

"Okay, if Davina doesn't like this movie I don't think I can date her."

"No, you can't." Kol said.

"Do you wanna watch it again?"

"Yes, I do. But first let me get some popcorn." Kol said when noticed something on the window. "What's up with your neighbor?"

"What do you mean?"

"It looks like he his throwing away some dresses away."

"What? His wife's clothes?" Caleb asked. "You know, now that we are talking about it... I don't know when was the last time I saw his wife... or heard her. I mean, she was always screaming at him."

"Well, you're their neighbor. You know them. Why do you think he would threw away her clothes?"

"I don't know... maybe she doesn't want them anymore."

"Or maybe she's not around to wear them anymore..." Kol said.

"Maybe she's not alive to wear them anymore." Caleb said, making them look at each other and then at the neighbor who was starting to notice them staring. "Duck! Duck! Duck!"

"You know, if we are going to keep trying to find out what happen we need to call someone who's very smart and knows a little bit about getting their hands Bloody."

"Who?"

"Caroline Forbes! She was amazing. She never let any trace of blood when she turn it off because she knew could end up her being interrogated by a cop which might make her turn back on." Kol said. "That's why I keep telling Nik that's she's way out of his league."

After Caroline had appeared, she quickly got a white board, some post It's and some yarn, gathering all the information they knew for sure about the neighbor and his wife and trying to create a timeline. She also brought some black caps and binoculars because Kol only had told her they needed her help about spying and investigating something.

Now, Kol was eating some popcorn with m&ms, while Caleb was with the binoculars and Caroline was on the white board gathering all the information.

"He is on the move. He is taking a big box to the living room. Now he left the box and he is headed to the bedroom. He just took off his pants." Caleb said.

"Boxers?" Caroline asked.

"Briefs." Caleb said.

"This guy is throwing red flags everywhere." Caroline said.

"He is walking towards the bed... still walking... and he is taking a nap."

"Sweet dreams, you sick bastard." Kol said.

"Let's go over what we know so far." Caroline said. "Subject was seen throwing a big amount of dresses."

"Ugly dresses." Kol said.

"I agree but that's conjecture. We are going to build this case on facts." Caroline said.

"I told you she was the one we had to call." Kol said to Caleb.

"He was moving around a good amount of boxes." Caleb said.

"That's right! Boxes..." Caroline said as she wrote it in the white board.

"And still no sign of te wife." Kol said.

"Wife... question mark." Caroline wrote down.

"We might need some devils advocate to see the case from all angles." Caleb said and he and Caroline looked at Kol.

"What if she left him?" Kol asked.

"Way ahead of you. Then why didn't she bring the ugly dresses?" Caroline asked. "And what about the dog? What about the dog? She wouldn't left it? I know I could never leave Jamie behind. That's why Cami and I have a shared custody of that cutie patotie."

"How can we be sure it was hers?" Caleb asked.

"What kind of man has a dog that wears a pink sweater. What kind of a man wears that?" Caroline asked.

"A gay man." Kol said.

"Oh! That's very interesting." Caroline said and wrote gay with a question mark. "Quiet neighbor realizes late in life that he prefers the company of another man. She finds out his little secret. Maybe she caught him wearing one of her ugly dresses."

"She is furious. There's a fight." Caleb said.

"Slaps turn into a shove, that turns into a fall down the stairs." Caroline said.

"He panics. He needs to get rid off the body."

"He has to cut her into peace's and put her in separated boxes. Damn it! That jerk thinks he is going to get away with it."

"Or maybe he is just moving..." Caleb said.

"Is moving on the board? Come on! Focus on the facts!" Kol said invested in the mystery.

"Hang on, my brother is calling me."

"You would make an awful spy." Kol said as Caleb got the call.

"Hey guys! I just talked with Brandon. Apparently the guy's wife has been dead for a year, she died on a car accident." Caleb said

AN: I know most of this chapter was not a big move forward but I'm not with a lot of inspiration lately but I still wanted to write something. Also, what did you think about Cami wanting to make this guy suffer? Here's the thing, a part of me would like to explore Cami's dark side but I also don't want to ruin her character or make her be a villain because she gets to play the villain for too many fanfics that have Klaroline in it so... what's your opinion about that? If you would like me to explore Cami's dark side, which way would you suggest me to do it?
