Chapter 5: I Prefer Adela

2x10

Elena and Rose where exiting the Salvatore House. Rose looked confused

ELENA: Ada's coming.

All three girls get into the car.

[Adela, Elena and Rose park Rose's car in an underground parking lot below Slater's apartment. They ascend the staircase to the apartment. Rose bangs her fist on the door while Adela and Elena stands nearby.]

ROSE: Slater? Slater, it's Rose. Open up!

[After a brief moment, Rose looks over at Adela and Elena.]

ROSE: He's not home. Sorry.

ADELA: Mm-mm. No. We didn't come all the way out here for nothing.

[Rose sighs and pushes the doors open using her vampire strength. Elena looks inside the apartment and Rose gestured into the room.]

ROSE: After you.

[Adela and Elena walks into the apartment with Rose following suit. Rose and Adela wanders farther into the apartment than Elena does, looking for Slater.]

ROSE: Slater?

[As Rose and Adela moves towards the back of the apartment, she looks through a doorway and her face falls in shock.]

ADELA: I don't think he's gonna be much help.

[Elena rushes over to where Rose is standing and gasps at the sight of Slater's dead body.]

[Rose walks over to Slater's body and drags it away. Elena, regaining her composure, walks over to Slater's computer desk and picks up a bunch of papers.]

ROSE: Looks like whoever blew up the coffee shop found him and killed him for his information.

[Rose walks up behind Elena and watches as Elena shuffles through the papers.]

ADELA: Yeah, probably to stop him from helping people like us. 

ROSE: The guy was a vampire almanac. Knowing too much information just bit him in the ass.

[Elena shuffles through a few more papers before picking up a framed photo. Rose walks over to a set of windows and pulls back the curtains, startling Elena.]

ELENA: What are you...?

ROSE: Tempered glass. U.V. rays can't penetrate.

[Rose looks out the window.]

ROSE: I used to just come here and watch the day.

[Elena looks down at the framed photo which contains a picture of Slater and a girl. She looks back up at Rose.]

ELENA: I'm sorry about Slater.

ROSE: Any luck?

[Elena places the photo back on the desk and attempts to log into one of the computers.]

ADELA: Um...It's password protected. I can't get in.

ROSE: No, this is fine. Let's just go.

[Suddenly, they hear a doorknob rattling from inside the apartment.]

ROSE: Stay here.

[Rose walks past Elena and Adela and opens a set of doors. She peers into the small hallway and sees a girl hiding behind a corner.]

ROSE: Alice?

ALICE: Rose!

[Alice, crying heavily, rushes towards Rose and embraces her.]
