The Original Murderer

1912

POLICE STATION

Elena walks into the station when Caine appears in front of her

Elena: Were you just.....

Caine: Yes. Sheriff wants us to stay out of it

Elena: But you're not going to, are you?

Caine: You know me so well, darling. And I guess I could rip out Dr. False Accusation's throat. Maybe her tongue. You know, I could chew it up into little tiny pieces and feed it to the squirrels.

She mimes chewing like a squirrel.

Elena: Stop it, Caine!

Caine moves behind her and wraps her arms around her waist, burying her face into the crook of her neck.

Elena: You know, you could show a little compassion about Bonnie.

Caine: I know, you're right. Should I send a cake?

Elena: Okay, now you're just being mean.

Caine: I'm mean. I'm a bitch.

She plants a sweet open mouthed kiss on her neck, the brunette shuts her eyes and moans softly.

Elena: I got an idea

Caine: What's that?

Elena: Let's go to our place and continue trying to make a baby.

Caine: I ain't saying no to having sex with you, darling. Lead the way

Elena giggles, grabbing her hand and pulls her way out of the station.

MYSTIC GRILL

Carol and Rebekah are sitting at a table together, talking.

Rebekah: Thank you for meeting with me, Mayor. I figured as head of the Preservation Society, you'd be a good person to ask about the oldest trees in this community.

Carol: A long line of Lockwood women use to keep those records, back before any of them had actual jobs.

Rebekah: I've been to the Founders' archive, but I can't seem to find any record of the tree I'm looking for.

Carol: It probably got cut down. Big old trees built half of this town in the 1900s.

Abel and Damon walks into the Grill

Damon: Barbie Klaus at 9:00

Abel turns his head and looks at Rebekah then rolls his eyes

Abel: Abel needs a drink.

Rebekah: Do you happen to know who kept the milling ledgers during that period?

Carol: Back then all the logging mills were owned by the Salvatores.

MEREDITH'S APARTMENT

Caine and Elena pick the lock and enters inside

Caine: Not what I had in mind but whatever gets you going, darling.

Elena: Okay, look, I don't know how much longer Meredith is gonna be in surgery, so let's see what we can find.

They begin searching through her place.

Caine: Didn't the bacon people already comb through this place?

Elena: Yeah, I'm looking for the evidence that she didn't hand over.

Caine: Are you certain? It could be someone else, darling

Elena: I know him, baby. He's innocent. And I know that Meredith's a Fell, founding family.
