Lou shows a picture of Christy to Marcel. "Have you seen Christiana?"

"No, I haven't." Marcel lied.

Lou gently takes off his sunglasses. "We know that she has connections here in the French Quarter. Like Mount Orasani, Christiana is adored and well-respected among the supernatural."

"Yeah, she is. And I don't know where she is." Marcel said.

"I understand that you want to protect her. You are, after all, one of her best friends." Lou said.

"Yeah, I am. And I care about her very much, and I also have heard about her recent homestead safehouse incident, so, I suggest you leave before I make you leave." Marcel said.

"Fine, then. I will leave. But I will not leave the French Quarter or New Orleans." Lou said and walks away and his henchmen group walks with him.

Marcel and Josh exchange worried looks at each other.

"A man named Marcel said the same answer. The two of you are Christiana's best friends, so, of course, you're protecting her." Lou said.

"Like we said, we don't know where she is, so, leave." Max said.

Lou and his henchmen group walks away.

Max and Gia exchange worried looks at each other. He gently wraps an arm around her shoulders.

Lou sighs, frustrated, and walks away and his henchmen group walks away with him.

"No, we don't." Callahan said. "And we know about the homestead safehouse incident."

"Of course you do." Lou said.

"We have nothing else to say." Keelin said.

"I am losing my patience." Lou said, becoming frustrated and walks away with his henchmen group walks away with him.

"You lot have wasted your time coming here." said Klaus.

"You might not leave alive." Rebekah said.

"Christiana is very important to you all." Lou said.

"She is." Elijah said.

"And you guys are complete idiots to think that we would tell you anything." Kol said.

Lou chuckles to himself and looks at the Mikaelsons. "Christiana has many loved ones that will go so far to protect her."

"Christy will do the same for us and we'll do the same for her." Rebekah said.

"So, how about you and your minions leave our house before things get messy." Klaus threatened Lou.

"Klaus Mikaelson. You're Christiana's beloved husband. The thing is, I understand that she helped each one of you, so, that is why you feel the need to protect her." Lou said.

"Leave. Now." Klaus said with a dead serious expression on his face. "And if we find out that you were the cause of the homestead safehouse incident, you will have the Mikaelsons upon you."

Lou looks at them and walks away and his henchmen group walks away with him.

Klaus and Elijah exchange looks at each other.

"What are we gonna do now?" Freya asked. "Lou obviously knows that we're protecting Christy."

"Christy is smart enough to not leave a trail in her path. She's keeping a low profile while she remains with Odessa." Klaus said.

"Usually she checks in on us, just to say "Hi" or something." Kol said.

"Christy will contact us." Elijah said.

Suddenly, Thalia appears as an astral projection using her mage sorceress magic.

"Thalia?" Klaus said.

"Come to the monastery. We need to talk." Thalia said and magically disappears.

ZENITH'S AND THALIA'S MONASTERY HOME

Later that afternoon, The Mikaelsons, Marcel, Vincent and Ivy, Max and Gia, Callahan and Keelin have regrouped with Zenith and Thalia in the main living room sitting on the couches.

"We all have gotten a visit from Lou and his henchmen group." Thalia said.

"Who is Lou anyway?" Rebekah asked.

"Lou is Takeshi's right hand man and a mercenary." Zenith said.

"Lou isn't planning on leaving New Orleans either." Marcel said.

"What do you mean?" Elijah asked.

"He has a loft apartment building that he's staying, so, he's not leaving any time soon." Marcel said.

"If Lou was sent to New Orleans, Takeshi must've given him a task." Zenith said.

"Lou is planning something big." Max said.

"Lou knows that we're protecting Christy, so, what if he decides to go after one of us to make her come back here to New Orleans?" Keelin asked.

"That's not gonna happen and Christy knows that we can handle ourselves." Vincent said.

"I have a bad feeling about this Lou person." said Ivy. "He knows that we're connected to Christy."

"We could tell her." Callahan suggested.

"Niklaus? You're quiet." Elijah said, noticed that his brother said nothing. "Dare I ask what's on your mind?"

"Lou is gonna regret coming here to New Orleans." Klaus said.

And then, suddenly, Christy magically appears as an astral projection using her sorceress magic.

{Christy Outfit}

"Hey, guys." Christy greeted them.

"Hey, Christy." Marcel greeted her with a small smile.

Christy notices everyone's worried expression on their faces.

"What's wrong?" Christy asked.

"It's Lou. He arrived here in New Orleans a few minutes ago." Gia told her.

Christy becomes worried. "And I can guess that he spoke to all of you."

"Yeah, he did." Kol said.

"He visited us all." Callahan said.

"Shit." Christy said and gently folds her arms. "You guys didn't tell him where I was?"

"Of course not. We wouldn't do that to you. We got your back, Christy." Ana said.

"I'm really sorry for putting you guys in his situation." Christy apologized.

"No need to apologize, Love." Klaus said.

Klaus and Christy exchange small smiles at each other.

"Do you guys have a plan or something?" Christy asked.

"We'll figure out something." Vincent said.

"You guys be careful with Lou and his henchmen, he might try to leverage you guys against me." Christy said.

"We suspect that." Elijah said.

"By the way, Lou has a loft apartment here in the French Quarter." Marcel said.

"He's definitely up to something." Christy said.

That evening, Klaus and astral projection Christy are taking a stroll together.

"How about a dinner date?" Klaus asked.

"How are we gonna have a dinner date? I'm away from New Orleans?" Christy asked.

"I'll figure something out." Klaus said. "It's been a few days since we've been apart. This long distance is getting on my nerves."

"I know, me too." Christy said.

"How's your book? Is it almost finished?" Klaus asked.

"I have three pages left to do and I'll be finished." Christy said.

"I look forward to reading it." Klaus said.

"And just to remind you, even though, I'm an astral projection, you can see me and anyone else." Christy said.

"I know." Klaus said.

"I have to go." Christy said. "I'll call you tomorrow morning whenever I can."
