"So what brings you to the Big Easy?" A bartender named Camille asked the man in a suit while serving him drink. 

"I used to live here." he answered. 

"Really, when?"

"Oh, it feels like a hundred years ago." Elijah answered. 

" I just moved here myself. What brought you back?"

"Well, my brother's here somewhere. I'm afraid he might have got himself into a bit of a bind."

"You say that like it's a common occurrence."

 "Well ... he's complicated. Defiant, ill-mannered, and a little temperamental. See, we don't share the same father. Of course that never bothered me, but my brother resents it deeply. Never felt like he belongs. All told, he has a long history of getting himself into trouble."

"And I'm guessing you have a long history of getting him out of it?" Camille asked. 

Elijah nodded smiling. 

" What kind of bind is your brother in?"

"He believes there are people in this town that are conspiring against him."

"Wow. Narcissistic and paranoid." Camielle shook her head. 

Elijah observed her interest.

 "Sorry. Bartender with a grad degree in psychology. Total cliché."

"Listen, Camille, I'm looking for someone who might shed some light on his current predicament. She works here, Jane-Anne Deveraux. Any idea where I might find her?"

"No. But I know someone who might."

"Welcome to New Orleans, and the crown jewel of the Crescent city, the French Quarter. Jazz and jambalaya, romance, poetry, not to mention the things that go bump in the night." Sabine told the tour group, "Monsters that feed off human blood, vengeful spirits of the dead, and my personal favorite, the witches. Here we have the voodoo shop, Jardin Gris. Go on, browse for a hex."

Sabine noticed Elijah lurking in the shadows and walked towards him. 

"Are you going to continue following me, Elijah, or do you wanna talk?"

"You know who I am?" Elijah questioned. 

"Original vampire, always wears a suit. You and your family are famous amongst the witches, especially with your... brother back in town."

"Well, Niklaus is here because he learned that a witch was conspiring against him. Someone by the name of Jane-Anne Deveraux."

"Well, if he's looking for Jane Anne, he's a little late."

"Are you telling me she's dead?" Elijah frowned.

" Come on, her sister Sophie's gonna want to talk to you."

The crowd of witches stand, kneel and crouch sadly around the body of their fallen friend, Jane-Anne. The body was on the ground, obviously dead, with blood on its neck. There were some flowers and candles around the corpse. Sophie Deveraux sat near her sister, weeping silently.
