CHAPTER EIGHTEEN-One And Only

Jeremy's P.O.V.

Three knocks at once, then Caroline bursts into my office, stacks papers filling her arms and a stack of ten folders on top of them. "So, I think I know why they did it." She comments. It's past midnight and Caroline and I have been here, at the police station for the past four hours, separately trying to figure out why the hell Katherine and Klaus had set the blaze at the warehouse. Connecting the dots as to how and why Katherine and Klaus are even involved with Matt is our problem.

We already have a videotaped and written statement from both Stefan and Matt. But, something still doesn't seem to fit in this case, something smells like a murderous revenge plot and I just can't see two criminals wanting to just go after a firefighter without something more to it. My own theory is that Matt paid them under the table to try and kill Stefan. So, that he could console Elena and well, therefore take his 'rightful' place as Elena's savoir. But, it's just part of what I keep thinking about as Caroline yawns.

"Come on, little Gilbert! We should probably take this stuff home with us..I haven't seen my husband in like two days and I'm...Well, going slightly crazy." Caroline adds, opening on of the files in front of her and holding up a piece of paper in her hands.

"Ugh! This isn't getting us anywhere..It's like we need something more..Like, we need to get ourselves entangled with them to find out more." She says, placing the paper down and hearing as I hit my hands against the desk that I'm sitting at.

"Caroline Lockwood! You are a genius...That's exactly what we need! We need someone to go undercover and search the house. Get close to them, until you find out everything about them. Then, you report back to me." I tell her, hearing as she laughs a bit, shaking her head, reluctantly protesting to the idea.

" Me? You are out of your mind, Jeremy! What if Klaus hits on me...I'm a happily married woman!" Caroline says, a pissed off tone in her voice as I smile at her, handing her a file with her name on it. "Not anymore...Miss Candice Forbes..Not anymore. Now, you're a housekeeper for the Mikaelson/Pierce household and you're going to be retrieving as much Intel as you can about them. Just enough, until we get more evidence against them. And, then..We lock them up for good and proceed with a trail." I tell her, hearing as Caroline laughs and locks her eyes on me.

"You tricked me! You already planned this out? Oh...Amazing! Fine. Okay. But, I am not doing this for you or the department. I'm doing this for your sister and her family. Because, I owe Stefan everything for saving Tyler. So, this will be my way of helping us bring them home." She states, putting the file under her arm and turning to leave my office. I watch as Caroline pauses by the door, turning around, her black high heels almost making a mark on my newly installed floor when she says "Jer..You're going to be dead meat if Tyler finds out about me doing this job and that asshole hits on me. Mark my words, Jeremy...My husband will kick your ass."

"Caroline, What he doesn't know..won't kill him. Okay? This little mission is between you, me and the department. Now, go find some sexy clothes. Because, you're not the typical house cleaner..By any means." I tell her, watching her as she places her hands on her hips, blue eyes narrowed on my face when she says "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

" Oh, I'm sure you know exactly what it means...See you in the morning, Caroline." I tell her, watching as she shakes her head and leaves the room, leaving me with the hopeful thoughts that her and I will actually be able to pull this scheme off without any major problems.
