Dangerous Minds

Chapter Two

A/N: Hey all! I just wanted to say thank you so much for all the reviews, follows and favorites this story has gotten so far. You all rock! Also, one of my readers had said that they were a bit confused about Klaus and Elena's relationship at this point in the storyline. I just want to clarify and say that at this point in time, Elena has never met Klaus and she won't until a lot later on. At this point in the story, Elena has only heard Rebekah talk about her brothers and all Elena knows is what Rebekah says about them.

Anyways, hope that makes things a bit more clear.

Thanks so much for reading & I hope you all enjoy Ch.2!

Dangerous Minds- Chapter Two

-Damon-

"Where the hell are we?" I ask him, feeling as the tinted windowed SUV comes to a complete stop in front of this large blue and white lettered sign that reads 'Hogan's Alley.'

We've been driving for the last few hours and I've been stuck in the car with our newly appointed deputy director, Elijah Mikaelson. He's been assigned to make sure that I make it here safely and that I don't tell anyone where the hell I am. Because, truthfully- I don't even have a clue. The windows are blacked out and something in my gut tells me that we aren't anywhere near Washington, DC any longer. Elijah on the hand is a guy full of secrets and he sure as hell refuses to tell me where he's decided to take me for whatever reason. He carries himself with such prestige and intelligence that when I first met the guy approximately 6 months ago as I was finishing up my training at Quantico and being initiated into everything, I thought he was a total douche bag. Although, maybe it was the fact that he's been the one who has been pulling the strings since I got into the academy. And who has been keeping me away from Bonnie for the few weeks, that is why all my anger is directed towards him.

I watch as his hand slides over his black and gray stripped Tom Ford suit jacket as he clears his throat. Elijah slides the sunglasses he's wearing off his face and turns back to look at me with this devious grin while the tinted windowed SVU continues to roll down the road and jolts us a bit as it goes over a few rocky pot holes in the gravel and dirt.

"I know you've already gotten your 20 week training at Quantico. But, consider this place a bit of a refresher for you and I thought this place would allow us to chat, privatelty." He pauses, licks his lips and then huffs out a breath. "What is it that you want to be again, Agent Salvatore?"

What do I want to be? I want to be a DEA agent. A part of the drug enforcement administration. I want to catch the bad guys who are littering the streets and selling drugs cut with other tainted bullshit. I want to see their faces as I bust down their doors and scream at them to get the fuck on the ground. I, want to do it all!

"A DEA agent, sir." I quickly reply, hoping that he can hear the serious tone in my voice. I left my new bride to be here and to learn new things, I left my new wife and my baby brother to fend for themselves as I follow my dreams and show Stefan that if you set your mind to it. That, you can really be something in life!

Elijah breathes out a rigged breath. Turning back to face the front as he shrugs his shoulders back. "We have a lot of work to do then. Look, I know that we said you can pick whatever location you want to be based in when I met with you last week at the D.C. headquarters. However, I think that sending you back home to Virginia would be the best thing for you now. You grew up there, you know those streets and we need someone based out of there anyways. I'm sure that the task force would gladly welcome you into the fold of things."

I nearly choke on my own saliva as I stare up at him through the rear view mirror. I'm more than thrilled to know that I could stop this whole thing of being away from Bonnie and finally be back home with my family. Although, what he tells me next makes things a little bit unbearable. "This task force isn't really what you want though. It only investigates violent crimes and major thefts. Both nationally and internationally." Elijah pauses, deadlocking his eyes on me as he turns to me and starts to list a few things off. "They look into such crimes like parental kidnapping, crisis negotiations, most wanted fugitives, back robberies, missing persons. You get the idea."
