Maeve looked from the bar in front of her to Klaus who stood next to her, a disgusted look slowly creeping on her face. "This place is where you think your werewolf pal is gonna be in?" asked Maeve again but this time with a strong scowling tone.

"Yes he is. Now go in and see if that man...right there is our guy."

Maeve deflated a sigh seeing what Klaus wanted her to do. "You want me to use my magic or this alpha power?"

"Neither." revealed Klaus shocking even himself. "I want you to go in there and sit next to him. That's all."

"And he'll give me his name? So you're saying he's a creep."

"He's a man. He'll give you his security number just to get your name." Klaus sneered making Maeve snort a laugh.

"You know your humor is absolutely against your reputation." she gazed back at the door to the pub, "is Stefan compelling?"

"Yes."

Maeve took a second look at the door and back to Klaus before whispering, "if he tries anything, I hope you wouldn't mind if he's dickless." Klaus chuckled turning his head away from Maeve at her comment.

"Keep him alive, that's all I ask." Maeve clicked her tongue giving him a finger gun before she strode away. Her short red dress ended mid thigh and the low cut accentuated her curves. With a dramatic flip of her hair over her shoulder Maeve pushed the door open. Maeve made her way to the bar table and sat down adjusting her dress.

"Excuse me, can I have a beer?" she asked the bartender who nodded. Maeve waited patiently and before long she felt a man settle on the stool next to hers.

"Hey red, get me a beer." he ordered before he moved to face Maeve. She felt his unblinking stare on her that made her uncomfortable.

"What's a pretty little thing doing here?" he asked Maeve. She turned her head slightly looking at him with a flash of a smile.

"I am on a mission." she told him with an accent. A snarky laughter echoed inside her head.

"British. New in town?"

"Call me a tourist." she told him. His eyes lingered on her lips seconds longer before he averted his gaze back up.

"Ray. Ray Sutton." he introduced himself. Maeve smiled knowingly but didn't let it show.

"Oh so you're the infamous Ray Sutton I've been looking for. Pleasure." Maeve looked at the glass door and nodded her head slightly.

The door chimed open at once and Maeve turned to her beer immediately. "Ray. Ray Sutton?" Klaus asked walking over to them.

"Who wants to know?"

"Ray Sutton? We have been looking for you. Started in Florida, Pennescola, I met a young chap there who you worked there with before you moved to Memphis. Now, he directed me to two lovely young women and they led me here" 

"Look, I better get going."

"Not so fast mate. You only just got here. Now, your type are very hard to come by." He turned to run away only to be stopped by Stefan.

"I wouldn't do that." He warned.

"Vampires." He breathed.

"You're swifty swift Ray. My friend here is a vampire. He has compelled everyone in the bar so don't look at them for help. I, however am something different. A different kind of monster. I have a bit of a wolf as well."

"You're a what?"

"Oh your poor child. Haven't got any brains, have you? A vampire with a bit of a wolf. What does that mean?"
