Chapter 2
Each Mikaelson woke up energetic about the day. Finding Isabelle. They wanted an explanation from the mother first before meeting the daughter to discuss their future.
"Freya. Have you found her location?" Niklaus asked.
"If I had a possession of hers, it would be easier, but I don't so it takes time." Freya explained the difficulty she was experiencing at the moment.
Freya was doing every spell she could think of to find Isabelle, she paused to replenish her magic when she was hit with a spell.
A spell that Dahlia did once to search for someone but she had no possessions of them. She relit the candles and began the spell. "invenies quod semel amissum est, adiuva me ad illos redire"
"Nik!" She shrieked. "I found Isabelle!" Niklaus was by her side instantly.
"Let's go." Niklaus grabbed his sister's arm and pulled her towards the door.

Isabelle was asleep in her bed when Eddie, Christopher, and Audra came in and started singing 'Happy Birthday'
"Aww, you guys." Isabelle said as she sat up
"We thought you might've wanted breakfast in bed, so we made you your favorite." Eddie said
"You guys are so sweet." Isabelle said as she took the tray from them.
"And just wait because I have something planned for us tonight on your special day." Eddie said and gave her a kiss.
They all jumped in the Land-rover SUV that Niklaus brought and they all drove down to Isabelle's house.
"We're here!" Kol yelped like a small Chihuahua. They all exited the vehicle and walked to the front door. Kol didn't want to wait for his slow family and decided to knock on the door.
"Kol!" Elijah whispered-yelled
"You know, for original vampires, you guys are incredibly slow." Kol scoffed and looked straight at the door which had just begun to move.
"Hi. Who are you?" Isabelle asked, putting her hand on her hip.
"Are you Isabelle Reyes?" Rebekah asked.
"Who's asking?" Isabele asked, squinted her eyes and turned her head slightly left.
"There's Klaus in her." Hayley muttered under her breath, Klaus glared at her.
"Ok, forget this. You are Isabelle Reyes-Diaz, I am Hope Mikaelson, I'm your sister. This..." Hope pointed at Niklaus, "... is our father Niklaus Mikaelson. This is my mother Hayley Marshall-Kenner, our aunts Rebekah, Freya and Davina Mikaelson and our uncles Elijah and Kol Mikaelson." Hope crossed her arms, clearly wanting to get to the whole point of this trip.
"Hope!" Hayley gasped at her daughter's bluntness.
Isabelle slammed the door.
"What was that?" Klaus asked his daughter.
"What? I wanted to get straight to the point." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Hope." She looked at her father. "This is a sensitive issue. Something that can't be blurted out. It has to be carefully told. Now go wait in the car."
"What? No!" Hope yelled and looked at her mother for help
"Hope, listen to your father. Go wait in the car" Hayley demanded.
Hope scoffed and stormed to the car. Klaus knocked on the car, Izzy opened the door but this time she wasn't alone. This time she was with Eddie and Izzy had her gun aimed right at the Mikaelsons.
"Shit!" Kol ducked out of the way of the guns. Rebekah facepalmed her forehead at Kol's stupidness.
"Kol! Get up!" Klaus grabbed his brother's collar and forced him to stand up straight. "I want to apologize for the way that Hope just blurted that out."
"I don't care, just the hell away from our house." Izzy said and she slammed the door on them once again.
"Ok... Clearly she doesn't want to talk to us now." Kol pointed out, "Let's go and let her calm down. We'll come see her at work tomorrow. Where she has to be civil. It's her workplace, she would have to be civil."
"Fine." Klaus huffed before walking back to the car.

Isabelle was now at the 118 station and was meeting with the rest of the fire fighters.
"Wait a minute so this guy just showed up at your door and said that he's your father?" Chimney asked
"Yep and apparently I have a sister." Izzy said
"Who's a bit of a brat." Eddie said
"I know you probably don't want to talk to them, but isn't this what your mother wanted?" Hen asked
"I mean yes she does, but I don't know right now. There's too much going on with Jeffery Hudson escaping, I don't think I can handle it." Izzy said
Ravi then comes up the stairs, "Uh, Izzy." Ravi said
"Hey Rav, what's up?" Izzy asked
"There's a handsome young man with a British accent down stairs asking for you." Ravi said
"What?!" Izzy yelled
Everyone walks over and sees the Mikaelson family. Izzy pulls out her gun and heads down the stairs.
"Izzy. Don't point guns at innocent civilians." Bobby demanded. Izzy sends Bobby a glare and he remains at a safe distance with his hands in the air.
"They're not innocent civilians." Izzy had no emotions in her voice.
"Ok." Eddie whispered as he carefully tiptoed to Izzy to grab her gun. "I'm just going to grab this... there we go." His voice remained as a whisper as he carefully pulled the gun from her grasp. Her eyes never moved from the 'intruders'.
"Everyone." Izzy said knowing how they would react, "Want to meet my sperm donor?" She asked
"That's your dad?" Chimney said in shock
"Oh no, he's hot." Buck muttered everyone gives Buck a weird look after his response.
"I thought I made myself clear that I didn't want to see any of you." Izzy said
"This is bullshit." Hope scoffed. "Just bond with our father so I can go home."
"Listen here little girl." Izzy leaned towards Hope. "I didn't ask you to come. You came on your own accord, I would love it if you went back home." Izzy drew out the last word to emphasize her point.
Hope only glared at her which wasn't intimidating.
"Hope. Enough." Klaus pulled her back.
"Izzy. I just want to talk. Please." He looked right in her eyes. Izzy could feel Eddie walk closer to her and wrap his arm around her shoulders.
"Iz, you don't have to go with them." Eddie said
"Look this just isn't a good time right now, can you all please just leave?" Izzy asked
"Fine." Kol called out. "If you won't talk to us. Then I suppose we'll have to stay here all day until you do."
"Doing what?" Bobby asked
"You know Izzy's a cop, so she'll just arrest you." Hen said
"And another thing—" Izzy begins but her phone rings, "Athena?" She asked, "What's going on?"
"It's Lou, he's been shot." Athena said
Izzy froze and she dropped her phone in shock.

Izzy paced around Maynard's office. "You've reached the Los Angeles County Jail. Currently all representatives are busy. Please stay on the line for the next..." Izzy could just make out the words through the phone. "Still on hold." Maynard told them and Athena sighed, "What is taking so long?"
"The jail's computer systems are down just like everybody else's. They're doing a head count."
"Five days," Izzy said as she took a seat, "He's been in the hospital for nearly five days. How is it that no one noticed that he was missing?"
Maynard looked over at her, "We were a little preoccupied with the world ending."
Athena continued to pace, just like Izzy did, "I should've checked in with him. I should have...I should have followed up."
"Why would you have? The last time you spoke, he had Hudson in custody. It was a done deal. You guys didn't have any reason to." Maynard said, the phone still pressed against her ear.
Izzy ran her hand through her hair, "He might not wake up again. That's what they're saying."
They watched as Maynard's eyes lit up, "Yes? You sure? All right, thank you." She hung up the phone and both women turned to her, waiting for the news.
"Jeffery Hudson's not in his cell. You were right." Izzy fell back in her chair, her hands running over her face as Athena exclaimed, "Son of a bitch!"
"He didn't even make it back to Mens Central." Maynard told them. "He's still out there-and with a five day head start this time." Izzy said, an annoyed look on her face.
"Tasha, have you had any word back from Lila Risco?" Maynard called. "Not yet, Captain. Still trying." Maynard looked over at them, "I'll send a unit."
Izzy shook her head, "No, I'd send more than a unit. She was there when Lou took Hudson into custody. There's a reason we haven't heard from her."
Izzy, Athena, Maynard, and SWAT all pulled up to the house. They waited for SWAT to do their sweep. "Caption Maynard, house is clear. You're gonna want to see this."
They walked in to find Hudson's Lawyer dead. A bullet to the chest. Athena shook her head, "Dead lawyer, dead end."
More units arrived on scene. The lawyer was being put in a body bag as Maynard walked back over.
"Well, her cars still in the garage, so he didn't take that. Maybe he teamed up with one of those groupies." Izzy shook her head, "No, his only accomplice is right there." She pointed at the lawyer.
"You think so?" Maynard asked. "I do. My mind just keeps going back to the visitor logs. The only name that appeared more time than his groupies was hers."
"She was his lawyer?" Maynard asked and Athena nodded, "Who he fired and whose place he came straight to after he escaped. I don't think it was to get a refund on his retainer."
"You think they were lovers?" Maynard asks as they walk into the bedroom.
"Beds still made. I think she was smitten just like the other fools. I think she saw him being led away in cuffs and she intervened on his behalf." Athena said and Lindsey added, "We thought we were saving her. I don't think she wanted to be saved."
"So she attempts to murder a Los Angeles police detective to help him escape and he kills her for the favor? I mean, why would he do that?" Maynard asks.
"Jeffery Hudson's not a one woman kind of guy." Izzy tells her. "It's a little scary how deep inside this guys head you two are."
"Not deep enough. He's always two steps ahead." Athena says and Maynard nods, "A lot more than that. Five day lead-he could be halfway to Florida by now." Izzy shook her head, "No, no, I don't think so. I've profiled these guys before. A city plunged into utter darkness is exactly the place he'd like to be." Athena agreed, "No better hunting ground for a predator like him. I don't think he's gone anywhere at all."
Maynard sighed, "In that case, maybe we need to warn his previous victims." Athena turned to her, "Actually, maybe we don't. Maybe we don't warn them at all."

The next morning she met Athena at the hospital. There was news on Lou. "We were able to extubate him a few hours ago, but he hasn't been able to speak. He's still got the pen and paper, though, which tells me the stroke hasn't significantly impaired his cognitive abilities." The doctor told them. "That is good news."
They walked into the room and saw Lou awake and sitting up. Both women walked over to him. "We heard you were looking for us." Izzy said as she laid her hand over his. Tears welled up in his eyes. "You save your strength, Lou. But it is...damn good to see you too." Athena told him.
Lou took a breath and started to write something. Pulling his hand away, they saw he wrote lawyer? Athena nodded, "Yeah, we found her dead. Gunshot wound. Probably...two days old."
In on it
"Yeah, we figured. We just put the pieces together a little too late." Izzy told him. Athena sighed, "I'm so sorry we weren't there, Lou."
Lou shook his head, Hudson?
"In the wind. Again." Athena said.
Leads
Izzy shrugged, "More like some hunches. Maynard thinks he's probably long gone by now, but we aren't so sure of that."
Victims?
Athena nodded, "I think that's our best chance of catching him. We have surveillance units posted at all victims' houses. And we're waiting for him." Lou grunted and shook his head. They watched as he quickly wrote.
Your house
He wrote, and this time he underlined it. "My house? What about it?" Athena asked and Lou tried to speak. "No, no, it's okay, Lou, it's okay."
"You're victim...too. Both...of you." Lou said as best he could and both women's eyes widened.

Izzy quickly gets out of her car and races into her home, followed by Eddie who gets out of his car.
"Audra!" Izzy yelled
"Christopher!" Eddie
The two of them searched the entire house and no one answered
Athena, and Maynard also walked in, "Izzy?" Athena called. "They're not here." Izzy said and Michael turned to her, "Who's not here? Would somebody mind telling me what in the hell is going on?"
"Oh god, look." Athena said, she runs over and found Christopher's brace and crutches on the floor along with Audra's broken cell phone
"No, no, no, no." Eddie said panicking, Izzy goes over to comfort her husband
"He took Christopher and Audra." Athena said to Maynard
A/N Note:
How do you like the new twist?
I chose Christopher and Audra taken instead of Harry because I want Izzy to kill him and unlock her werewolf transition.
For the next she's going to have to ask the Mikaelson's for help.
