"Guilty" announced the jury.

Klaus Michaelson stood in the docks, guilty as charged. The sociopath felt nothing but a twinge of annoyance at the verdict. The whole court room held its breath to see what would happen next. The press were scribbling excitably in their notepads. Klaus, the leader of the infamous Michaelson crime family was finally behind bars. They're criminal empire worth billions of dollars has crumbled down around them. His brother, Elijah had also been caught and was awaiting trial. Kol had fled and the police are hunting him down in Russia. His sister Rebekah was in hiding somewhere. It was a great victory for the FBI. Forty years of mayhem had finally come to a close. This was all thanks to special agent Bennett who'd been hunting them for over a decade.

"Klaus Michaelson, you have led a criminal empire that has murdered, stolen, bankrupted, and done other unspeakable crimes. You are clearly unstable and show no regret or remorse for your actions. It seems clear to me that you can see no wrong in what you have done and are in fact mentally unstable. It is therefore my duty to pass sentence on behalf of the city of New York. You will be admitted to a prison hospital for the criminally insane. There you will be analysed and studied. Pending in the results on whether we keep you there, you will spend 30 years in prison for your crimes. Is there anything you would like to say?"

Klaus stood up and stared into the hard face of his judge. The whole court room was so silent you could hear a pin drop. All of them anxious to hear what he had to say.

"You are wrong" he began in his British accent, "I know the difference between right and wrong. It's just that I chose wrong"

The prisoner was smiling sickly at the judge who just looked at him in disgust.

"Take him down"

…

"The top stories 7 this morning" the news channel blurted through the TV, "Klaus Michaelson has been sentenced to 30 years in a hospital for the criminally insane. They won't tell us which hospital for security reasons. His brother Kol is now number one on America's most wanted. It's believed he fled the country, there is a strong rumour that he might be in Europe…"

Caroline turned off the TV and put on the radio. She wanted something more cheerful at 7 in the morning on a fine spring day. She was spreading some jam over her toast as the kettle was heating up. Caroline was a Doctor at St James' Hospital for the criminally insane. It meant early mornings and long hours but a very nice pay check. At that moment her roommate, Elena came in with her 'Garfield' dressing gown and slippers. Her hair was up in a lazy bun as she began pouring cereal into a bowl. Elena worked for the New York Times, she was a drama critic. This meant she got into a lot free shows and sometimes she was allowed to bring a guest.

"Good morning" Caroline beamed.

"It's too early" Elena groaned.

The familiar sound of the kettle's click was heard. Caroline started making her tea as Elena poured herself some orange juice.

"Have you got a long shift today?" Elena yawned.

"13 hours" Caroline rolled her eyes.

"I could never do what you do" Elena told her as they sat down.

"Listen to other people's problems?"

"Listen to psychos talk about how much they love killing" Elena corrected her.

"It's actually fascinating" Caroline smiled, biting into her toast, "Have you got work today?"

"I've got to hand in the review for that play we saw on Friday" Elena sighed, "Damon says he wants to meet up with me later"

Caroline rolled her eyes; she'd never been a big fan of Damon. Elena and Damon had been dating on and off for the past year. Caroline doesn't trust him but Elena thinks she loves him. He was a bit of a 'rebel' he owned a bar which no law abiding citizen would dare enter. Caroline was best friends with his brother who worked at the NYPD. She met him through Stefan and Elena met him through her.

"Oh, really" Caroline tone was restricted.

"I know you don't like him but can you just please be civil for my sake?" Elena pleaded.

"Fine" Caroline nodded reluctantly.

After she'd finished breakfast Caroline was off to work. She usually drove to work; she had a nice Mini Cooper. Most people thought she was mad herself for wanting to work in such a place but Caroline found it fascinating, the criminal mind. She'd been interested ever since she was a kid. Endlessly watching crime shows like 'CSI' and movies about the subject. A new patient was coming to the hospital today and she had been assigned to him. She didn't know who it was or what they'd done.

When Caroline entered the hospital in was bustling with activity as usual. Dr Saltzman was her boss and head doctor. He wanted to see her immediately so she headed for his office. On her way there she saw, Dr Fell coming out.

"Hey" Caroline smiled.

"Good Morning Caroline" she smiled back, getting on with her duties.

Caroline entered his office and sat down. He looked a little frazzled like he'd has a hectic couple of days. He smiled a fake smile at Caroline which wasn't like him at all. Normally he's a pleasant man. Something must be on his mind.

"The new patient you have today is Klaus Michaelson" Dr Saltzman revealed.

Caroline felt her jaw drop in shock. She's looking after thee Klaus Michaelson! She couldn't believe it.

"Are you serious!" she gasped.

"I would have handled it myself but I'm already too busy. I am trusting you Dr Forbes to judge with he's mentally fit to stay here or go to a normal prison"

"He's the guy responsible for the Times Square Massacre" Caroline wanted confirmation.

"Yes he is" Alaric nodded.

He passed her a thick file with the name 'Klaus Michaelson' neatly scribbled across the top. She'd never seen a file so thick!

"He'll be here at noon" he told her, "I suggest you study up on him before he arrives"

Caroline left the office and went into hers. She still couldn't believe it. This guy was seriously dangerous, not like the run of the mill nut jobs they usually get. Caroline had to admit she was intrigued. This was like a twisted dream come true but suddenly, cold fear infected her heart. She was about to meet the man who would kill thousands of people and not even blink. He was a man with no heart and no conscience. She quickly got started on reading his file.

…Klaus Michaelson born in England on the 1st of May 1984…the third child of Mikael (step father died 2006) and Ester (died 2012)…real father unknown… His siblings are Finn, Kol and Elijah and Rebekah. Finn now works at the Home Office (UK)…The Times Square Massacre where he killed 2000 people by letting off a…

Klaus had done everything; pick a crime, any crime. He's been running the business since his father died. Elijah didn't take over because apparently he doesn't like leadership. Kol his sadistic younger brother was still out there somewhere and so was his narcissistic sister. Noon arrived way too soon as she was summoned for her first session with him. Her stomach was clenched with nerves.

Just be professional and everything will be fine- She told herself.

Caroline entered the usual room for therapy sessions. The mirror which is a one way window was on the wall. It was a grey, institutional room with hard floors that had been cleaned to excess.

Caroline opened the door and saw him sitting on the chair. He looked at her as if she was of no importance. She sat down in front of him with the guard just outside; she put the tape on and arranged her file.

"Are you my doctor?" he began.

"Yes" she nodded, "I'm Dr Forbes"

"There's no need to be scared love" he said suddenly, sensing her fear, "I am restrained"

She looked into his deep blue eyes. They were like hooks for the soul, they drew you in. What horrors those eyes must have seen.

"Let's start" Caroline tore her eyes off his, "Is there anything you'd like to talk about?"

"Me?" Klaus chuckled a bit, "I don't do shrinks"

"Well you have no choice" Caroline snapped.

"I like you" he smiled.

Caroline stopped dead.

"Excuse me?"

"I like fire" I shrugged.

The way he said it like it was the obvious explanation.

"Why don't you tell me about your childhood?" Caroline prompted.

Klaus rolled his eyes and looked annoyed.

"What has that got to do with anything?" he said huskily.

"If we understand your background then we can get a firmer understanding of your mental state" Caroline explained.

"I was born, went to school and then turned 18" Klaus said stubbornly.

"Do you want to say here for the rest of your life?" Caroline snapped.

"I like you a lot" he said ignoring the question while ogling her like a piece of meat.

Caroline felt her cheeks blush at his words and his gaze.

Snap out of it! You're a professional! Are you going to let some psycho get away with this?

"Mr Michaelson" Caroline said, firmly, "Answer the question properly"

"You're a tough girl" he smiled, "How could I deny a request from such a beautiful lady?"

Caroline rolled her eyes at the sight of the loon pretending to be a gentleman.

"I was born in 1984 in London. My mother had, had an affair with some bloke. When Mikael found out he killed him"

"He killed your natural father" Caroline repeated.

Klaus merely nodded.

"How does that make you feel?" Caroline asked.

He shrugged.

"Did you ever meet him or know who he was?" Caroline wondered.

"No"

Klaus still had the slightly bored expression on his face. He looked like he didn't care what happened to him. This frightened Forbes a little bit.

"How did feel having a different father to the others? Did you feel cut out?" Caroline tried.

"I suppose a little bit" Klaus yawned.

"Just a little bit"

Klaus leaned slightly forwards and he had a small smile on his face.

"Just a little bit" he repeated before he went back.

"How would you describe your relationship with your family?" Caroline asked.

"Rocky"

"Mr Michaelson, you have to take this seriously. This review could seriously affect your future" Caroline reminded him, "We need to analyse you and understand why you are the way you are"

"Maybe I was just born evil" Klaus retorted.

"Nobody's born evil" Caroline replied firmly.

"Aren't you an optimist" Klaus snorted.

...

Special Agent Bonnie Bennet was staring at the two photographs on the board. One of them was of Rebekah and the other was of Kol Michaelson, America's most wanted. They knew he was somewhere in Russia but the authorities there couldn't trace him, he'd gone underground. Next to the two pictures were two other photographs. One was of Elijah Michaelson which had a red 'captured' stamped on it and the same was with Klaus' photo. In the photograph Kol looks amused like everything was just a huge joke to him.

This was the Michaelson Squad of the FBI. They were set up just to catch these men and Bonnie was at the head of it. It was true she was only her twenties but her talent was without a doubt so she quickly rose through the ranks. Now they only had two more to go until they've completed they're mission.

"Agent Bennett?" Sloane cried.

"Yes" Bonnie turned around to face to world.

"We just got a tip that Kol is coming back into the country tonight" Sloane beamed.

Bonnie looked confused, she always knew he was crazy but not stupid. It had to be a cold trail but if he was coming back then it would have to for a good reason.

"What's the source?" Bonnie asked.

"The same source we used to take down Elijah"

"Oh, that source" Bonnie smiled, "Why is Kol risking it?"

Sloane merely shrugged her shoulders not knowing what to say.

"Let's take him down"
