the last 3 months have been painful, Niklaus and I have gotten closer. I would rather talk to him then Stefan. We played my music cause I am not old too

"Rudy! Rudy. Come on! It's to hot to make me come looking for you" the woman says

I walk up to her with Niklaus

she jumps

"I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't mean to scare you" Niklaus asks

"can I help you two" she asks

"yeah my brother here let the car run out of gas a couple miles back. I feel like we've been walking for hours, first house we have seen. Can we come in and use your phone" I ask

"don't you two have a cell phone" the lady asks

Niklaus pulls out his phone "yeah battery died, he broke his back in New York"

she sighs "sure"

"so, we can come in" I ask

"no, I'll get the phone and I'll bring it out to you" she says

I roll my eyes and Niklaus gets annoyed and says "I thought you country folks were supposed to be more trusting"

"I'm from Florida" the women says

Niklaus grabs her and compels her "show me a little southern hospitality sweet pea"

"your incorable" I say as we walk in

"I bet you a hundred dollars that dog ran off to a house with air conditioning" another lady says

we walk in the first lady we talked to sobbing

"what's going on" the second women asks

"Don't be alarmed, my brother is dramatic. I was told Ray Sutton lives here" I state

"he's almost never here. He's on the road mostly" the second women says

"I expect he comes home once a month, were is he now" Niklaus asks

"If you don't tell him he will kill you painfully" I sigh

she tries to run out the back door

"I love it when they run" Niklaus exclaims

"cause your a weirdo" I snap

"He's in Toll. It's near to border. A bar called Southern Comfort. It's on highway 41" the first women says

"thank you love, now may my friend come in" Niklaus asks

she nods

I again roll my eyes as he tells him to kill them, we go to the car

"so we haven't talked about girlfriend yet" Niklaus says

"Well there was Tyson, Lisa, Larkin, and Vicki" I answer

"your into guys and girls" he asks

"I like everything" I laugh

"last names" he suggests

"Tyson Lockwood, who is dead. Lisa Fell, who moved. Larkin Salvatore, who is dead. Then Vicki Donovan who is also dead." I say

Stefan gets in the car

we drive to the southern comfort bar so I can get a drink

I run in before them

"hey can I have bourbon please" I ask

the guys nods and hands me one as I sit by Ray

"Hey I'm Ray Sutton" he says

"um Hadrian Gilbert" I say shaking his hand
