Demon

chapter 97

Clara was almost as impatient as Damon. Well actually nowhere near, Damon had litterally threatened his tech team with their lives. He had made it clear he wanted the footage recovered. The CCTV footage on that night had been faulty. It made damon angry and more protective of Clara. Of course Clara was well enough to go back to work but Damon was constantly making sure she was okay whenever he could.

Clara wanted to know just as bad. She didn't remember what happened. She wanted to find out what she had done and who spiked her.

Despite disliking Olivia, Clara didn't even consider it was her. Both her and Damon thought someone had spiked her to take advantage of her.
And besides she didn't think Olivia would go that far.

After finishing work that day, Damon asked if she wanted to come with him to the mansion or if she wanted to be dropped off at the family home.
She had been staying there two days now and she would never have guessed the family ran the Mafia, they were warm and caring.
"Are you going to be out late" she asked not wanting to tag along if it meant all night but she wanted to find out who had kidnapped her and who spiked her.

It suddenly hit her.

"No I'm just checking their progress. What is it? you have gone really pale" he replied.

"Do you think I was spiked so that it would make me easier to kidnap " she asked.

"I don't think so. It happened in a club I own, the club is too high profile for you to be kidnapped from however I haven't ruled it out. I'll keep you safe" he told her. He had already thought the two might be linked but thought it was stupid to try kidnap someone from his club.

He was looking at every possible lead for the kidnapping case and as for the drug case, he just had to wait.

Later when they got to the mansion, Clara changed back to how she was at work. Completely proffesionial. Damon didn't like it but he respected her decision not to take advantage of the power she actually had.

"How's my favourite couple today" Callum asked once they entered , placing himself in the gap between the two and putting his arms over their shoulders.

"Knock it off . I'm not in the mood to entertain your stupidity" Damon said pushing his friend away, Clara just laughed but didn't push Callum away.

"It came to my attention we don't know much about each other. Let's get to know each other, after all I need a new best friend" Callum said glaring at Damon who didn't even acknowledge him.

"I'm going to do some work. Don't do anything stupid"
Damon walked off.

"God he's grumpy how did you survive the day" Callum asked.

"He hasn't been that bad" Clara knew he was only stressed and worried about her. They had no leads and that was making him more grumpy.

"Oh well he didn't give me a job to do that means we can hang out"

"Weren't you working before we came" she asked.

"Nope. I left a few files in Damon's office he's probably looking through them but I'm done for now. Have you eaten yet? We could go get food and get to know each other" Callum suggested. He was hungry.

"Sure I should probably ask Damon first though" Clara replied.

"Ask him? You don't need his permission. Ill message him to let him know you are with me" Callum said.

"But he might not be happy about me spending time with you" Clara muttered. Her insecurities about what Jake had done and said we're showing. Jake didn't like her being around Damon so much, he got angry. And she never wanted to get Damon angry. Never again.
