The next morning

Kol groaned as he rolled over in his nice and soft comfy bed snatching up the screaming cell phone so rudely awoken him. Pressing the accept button and put it to his ear. "What?" He growled not caring who was on the other end of the line. They deserved it. He liked his sleep.

"That is not how you greet your older brother...brother," came Nik's smooth drawl sounding as if he had his five cups of coffee.

"What do you want?" He said plopping his head down on the pillow and closing his eyes.

"I just wanted to check in to see how everything is going," Nik said causally.

"I haven't made it to Denver yet," He said. "Stopped to get a bite to eat." He said which was partically the truth.

"What is taking so bloody long for you to get there?" Nik growled.

"Oh I don't know," Kol said sarcastically. "Perhaps, its due to the bloody place being on the other side of the country and you know I don't fly. Those airplanes or whatever you call them don't have my interest."

"Well I need to know the whereabouts of the youngest Gilbert," Nik said. "I need to know about all my enemies."

"You wouldn't have to if you did not keep making them," Kol said. "And your about to make another one if you don't let me go back to sleep. It is freaking..." Kol glanced at the clock. "6 in the morning here."

"Well you can't get nothing done if you are laid up in the sack all day," Nik chuckled. "Best get a move on then."

"You are right," Kol said ending the call before tossing the phone on the bed table only to turn over falling back to sleep.

Several hours, a shower, and some blood later, Kol walked along the French Quarter taking in the sights. It was totally different with the sun out. The locals were standing about sell their dues to raise a living. Kol snatched up an apple then handing the vendor a couple of dollars for his take taking a bite out of the fruit. He was not big on human food, but he did love his apples.

Kol was wondering how he would handle Denver as he had no plans to leave anytime soon. As he was finishing up his apple tossing the core in to a near by can, he spotted Marcel standing and talking to the bar keep who had served him the previous night and smirked. If Marcel was here than he was not at the church meaning he could have a chance to speak Davina about something.

Soon enough, Kol was rounding the corner that led to the church and he could sense that he was not alone on the street as placed a hand on the gate to open it.

"Stop right there!"

Kol turned to see a young guy standing there with his arms crossed daring Kol to take another step. Shrugging him off, Kol pushed the gate open walking through only for the guy to flash forward in front of him stopping him from moving forward.

"The church is off limits," The guy says.

"Let me guess," Kol said looking him up and down knowing he could take the guy down in less than two seconds. "Another baby vamp who doesn't have any manners."

"You need to leave," The guy warned.

"And you seemed to have some balls," Kol said as a threatening tone entered his voice. "It will be a shame for me to squash them so early in the day."

"Like you can," He pushed stepping closer making Kol roll his eyes.

"You have no idea what I can do, Lad," Kol whispered his eyes glinting deadly as he was quickly becoming annoyed with the kid in front of him. "Is that anyway to speak to your elders? I have half the mind to show you how? I suggest you let me by or I will kill you with out blinking as I have many years on you. Make one move. I date you." Not wasting anymore time, Kol stepped around the annoying vampire making his way up to the doors entering the church. He ducked when he felt something whiz by his head crashing in to the wall. Kol looked to see watch the object was. A vase or more like was one as it laid in broken fragments.
