|THE HUNT|

"And inside, same generic abstract art, same compellable receptionist..." Klaus says as after the third time it was no coincidence that everything was the same bland thing and it was starting to get tiring as it seemed to lead to nothing but down the list 

"Klaus, are you sure you wouldn't be better off with your brothers? Hayley and I can do the leg-work. I don't want to be the reason why you aren't helping save your sister" Odette says as she knew how to take care of herself and her being pregnant was not something she wanted to be the reason their relationship changed back to some resemblance of what it used to be when she was pregnant the first time 

"And split up the team now? Just when I'm discovering your carpool karaoke skills? I think not!" Klaus says with a smile making the hybrids chuckle "No, Lucien is playing a game, here. Each unassuming little office building we search, the more sure I am of it. We keep going. Together"

Klaus then starts walking towards the building and the two Crescents follow after him, "Even if we have to scour one hundred of these poxy places"

The three walk into the reception area of the office passing by the same looking art they saw in the previous building. They reach the glass doors which Klaus opens for the two cousins to walk in first and then closes the door behind them before they approach the reception desk. The receptionist finishes her call and hangs up as she look at them as if to expect something making Odette look around the room for something out of its place

"Ah, hello, love! We're here for a spot of 'search and potentially destroy'" Klaus says before he makes eye contact with the receptionist and begins to compelle her "Do tell-- where are the areas off-limits to general staff?"

"You just wait right here... and I'll have someone out here to help you with your inquiry" The receptionist smiles at them and sits back in her chair to press a button under her desk, which causes an alarm to blare loudly throughout the building. The alarm causes the reception area to go dark and red lights to flash as the room floods with armed guards dressed in black uniforms holding guns 

"Stay right there!" One of the guards says as they all surround Hayley, Klaus and Odette. The three hybrids don't look concerned but rather inconvenienced as the guards keep their assault rifles aimed at them. All of the guns shot a red laser that points right at the hybrids hearts

"Shall we?" Hayley asks making Odette reach for her knife ready to attack

"Ladies first" Klaus says with a smirk and his hand stretched out letting them take the lead 

Hayley and Odette make their way towards the guards and although they shoot at them, they are barely affected by the bullets. They start to take out the guards one by one, with Klaus following their lead. After some of the guards' bones were broken, along with the necks of others and some were led to be impaled with their guns. It wasn't over until Hayley throws the last one standing through the glass door of the reception area.

Klaus makes his way through another wing when he sees a frantic scientist in a white lab coat rush out of a locked door and almost run right into him. Klaus grabs him from behind and snaps his neck before reaching into his lab coat pocket and pulls out the credentials needed to get into the super-secret areas of the laboratory. He drops the scientists body onto the floor without another world and holds up the key card for Hayley and Odette to see as he laughs in amusement. Checking to make sure the coast is clear, the three make it through the locked door and into a laboratory.

Inside the lab they find at least a dozen men and women chained up and attached to IV drips, while the corpse of a transformed werewolf lays in a cage. Odette stopped walking once she saw everything around her.
