It wasn’t rare to walk into the police station and find someone crying at the front desk. Those officers on the front desk were the unsung heroes of the station. Day in, day out, dealing with questions from the public. Camilla’s customer service face would start to fade after the sixth person, meanwhile Elias didn’t even have a customer service face. Stone cold expressions always. She’d overheard some of the other officers joking he was a robot sent by the FBI to monitor them and report back. Someone needed to keep an eye on the officers in Mystic Falls though. She used the term officers lightly. They weren’t exactly out there keeping crime rates low, in fact the complete opposite. They had been in Mystic Falls for a few years now and had yet to report back anything meaningful to the FBI. Every case that came to their desk remained open, and Camilla fucking hated an open case. People were being murdered in town and there were zero suspects. Camilla had worked damn hard to overturn every single stone, but there was never anything underneath. Needless to say it kept her awake most nights. Tossing and turning wondering what the fuck was happening in Mystic Falls. It wasn’t the only thing that kept her awake at night. Memories of the night Elias was stabbed would play on repeat in her mind, as she analysed every single thing that happened to lead up to his death or almost death as Elias would say. Their guard had slipped for a moment as they enjoyed each other's company in the bar. That was their downfall. Camilla blew carefully through the plastic lid of her takeout coffee. The only thing that would get her through the morning. The cup nearly flew from her hand when the woman inside the reception proceeded to scream at the male officer who was claiming to try and help her. She’d caught snippets of their conversation as soon as she entered the building. The man was trying to brush the woman off, telling her there was nothing they could do. “Hey!” She called out to the pair of them, “What the hell is going on here?” Camilla listened as the woman started to reel off a story that her son was missing but no one was doing anything about it, not even the cops. “There’s no record of this boy ever existing.” The officer quickly interjected, causing the woman to blow up again at him. “Ma’am. Please calm down… Officer…” She narrowed her eyes, studying his badge, “Officer Carroll. Can you please bring me the papers for this case. I’ll look into it.” She gave the woman a small smile as she followed Officer Carroll through the doors, “How many times…” Camilla quickly raised her hand, “Bring me the papers to my desk.” She stormed off up the stairs, refusing to engage any further with him. As instructed the papers were on her desk within an hour. Well, it was just two pieces of paper. The woman’s report of her missing child and that was it. With a sigh she collected the two measly pieces of paper and stormed over to Elias’ desk, placing them down. “Missing child. Mother was yelling out front this morning about it. There’s no evidence her son ever existed. No birth record.” She lowered herself down on the chair next to his desk, “I said we’d have a look into it. It’s the third report this month of a missing person.” Seemed like something they could solve, giving her a distance from the mounting open cases on her desk. ELIAS ELLIOTT  |

This was ridiculous. His staff were out of control, not even Cory could be fully trusted, mostly because his emotions seemed to lead him instead of logic, and the reaper in him was rogue. He wasn’t like the rest.
Elias snapped the book closed and slipped it back into the shelf. There was no time here, no false window to show sun or moonlight (not that it existed within the realm of that sort of thing), and hours could pass without him noticing. He no longer had a need for food, drink or sleep. He didn’t need to leave… other than for the human job he still had to report to. He checked the time and sighed internally. If he wasn’t there soon, Camilla would start pestering him with calls and text messages.
Elias disappeared, then reappeared in the station, and his timing was perfect, apparently. De León stormed into their office mere seconds after he sat down, and his hazel eyes studied her as she barrelled over to him, dropped some reports on his desk, then plopped down beside him━even though she had her own desk a few feet away. “Third?” He asked, “All under the same circumstances?” As in, no record of them at all, only people who barely remembered them. Elias was under the impression that remembering those who were taken would bring them back, but perhaps there were a few more steps to it.
He reached out, sliding the papers towards himself before picking them up to scan. “Have you checked medical records for the mother? Any history of mental health issues? Miscarriages?” Elias was quite sure of what they were dealing with, but he wanted to be certain━and, on top of that, he couldn’t just jump into the train station and go get the boy, not while De León was still here. He had no emotional tie to it━unlike De León, he didn’t care if there was a mother crying about her child━but it was more important to right the wrongs of the supernatural world and keep these things hidden.

Camilla could see the pain in the woman’s eyes as she cried over her missing child. It was like all hope in the world had been lost. Everything was collapsing down around this woman Camilla had never had the chance to develop a connection with her daughter, through no fault but her own. She chose to hand her baby over to another family. Often she would be tempted to type Maya’s name into their databases just to check up on her, but fear held her back. What if something bad had happened to her? The curiosity was there, but it wasn’t strong enough to have her searching for her daughter. She was at an age now where she could come and find Camilla on her own, but the knock at the door never came. There was always going to be an element of guilt she would carry with until she died. Putting a child up for adoption wasn’t an easy choice for most. She hoped her daughter was told that it wasn’t because her mom didn't want her, it was because she knew she couldn’t give her the best life possible. There were some selfish reasons too. Camilla wasn’t prepared to drop out of college. She would have preferred to have her own office, but the staff of Mystic Falls police station insisted on putting Elias and Camilla in a room together. Things could have been a hell of a lot more awkward if they actually went home together that one evening. Often she wondered what could have happened. Would they have slept together? “Very similar. Missing people with no record of them existing. This woman has even given us the hospital where her kid was born.” She knew it would only be a matter of time before someone started to suggest this woman might be insane. It wasn’t far-fetched and usually Camilla would entertain the idea, but three separate people making similar reports? It didn’t add up. Just how Elias’ amazing recovery didn’t add up. “No, but it seems odd that three different people are reporting the same things. Don’t you agree?” They’d always agreed that Mystic Falls was odd. A town with a high death rate yet no convinced killers because most were written off as animal attacks. Camilla had seen some of the pictures of the bodies. It never looked like an animal attack.

He only acknowledged her explanation with a quiet hum, eyes flicking over to her face as Camilla continued. “Sure, but they don’t all have to be legitimate reports.” Elias tsk’d quietly, sounding like he was almost chiding her for not researching other possibilities first. “This one could easily be a case where a mother is still mourning the loss of her baby and creating a false story in her mind.” Regardless, he’d go check the place where the people were brought to. He knew De León wouldn’t let this rest, especially since she’d taken the case when another officer wouldn’t. She was always sensitive to this sort of thing… which, he supposed, made sense. She was a woman with human emotions━he just couldn’t relate.
“You should look into that first.” Elias stood, his chair rolling back behind him. “Check her medical records. If everything looks clean, then interview the teachers at what would be his high school. I’ll look into my private sources and call you if I find anything.” They were partners, he wasn’t her superior, so he technically shouldn’t have been ordering her around, but that wasn’t a new thing for Elias. What was more recent was the fact that they weren’t conducting research together. He’d been doing it more and more lately, wanting to use the resources available to him in order to solve cases faster, but that meant keeping everything away from Camilla.
Without so much as a goodbye, Elias left the reports on his desk━closer to her━and walked out, knowing he had to give it at least two hours before he brought the boy back to the station.
Once a reasonable amount of time had passed, Elias appeared in the “train station” and scanned the crowds for the boy’s face. Using his newest abilities, which included an encyclopaedia of every being on the planet, he sought the woman’s life in her mind, and clearly saw the birth of her son in her timeline. Her last memory before he’d been taken showed a now-teenaged boy leaving with a backpack slung over one shoulder, telling his mom he loved her before closing the front door. Elias found that boy in moments.
“Come with me.” He said as he reappeared at the boy’s side. “Your mother is waiting for you.” Elias laid his hand on the boy’s shoulder, and then they were back in his office, invisible for a moment as he ensured nobody else was there.
Before calling Camilla, Elias dove into the kid’s mind and put his memories of the train station behind a wall, effectively giving the boy amnesia since the moment the Wild Hunt captured him on his way to school.
Lifting his phone to his ear, Elias began speaking the moment she picked up. “De León, get back to the station. I found the boy.” He glanced at the kid, who was looking around with confusion written all over his face. “I’ll leave you the honours of informing his mother.” Usually, Elias wanted the glory of solving the case, but Camilla wanted to do something good for this family, and the mother would likely be emotional in a way that would make him extremely uncomfortable.

As Elias tsk’d at her Camilla narrowed her eyes at him. Was he really just looking to sweep this aside like the other cops in the station? She didn’t expect him to have an ounce of sympathy for the women because Elias seemed completely lacking in that department, especially recently. It was like all the emotions had been sucked out of him after that evening. Something in him had changed. But she expected him to give a shit because it was a potential crime. Elias lived to solve crimes. In fact they both were. “You sound like those idiotas out there.” She gestured towards the reception area, “They don’t believe her either.” She knew Elias’ suggestion wasn’t completely out of the question, but it was heartbreaking to see a woman coming into the station to report a missing child and people dismissing her. Then he started giving her orders. This time Camilla tsk’d. They were supposed to be partners, but that fact had slipped Elias’ mind more and more recently. A small wall had been put up between them since the incident and it was growing higher everyday. Each time Elias acted like they weren’t on the same team another brick would be added. She’d been desperately searching for answers to explain what happened to Elias. How does a man come back from the dead? How does someone get stabbed but is up and walking a few days later? There was no reasonable explanation, only supernatural ones. “Your private sources?” She asked him, but received no response. He closed the papers and left her to it. Asshole. There were no red flags in the woman’s medical records. No abortions, no miscarriages, no babies put up for adoption as soon as they were born. No signs of any mental health issues. But also no record of this woman ever being pregnant or giving birth. Perhaps she was one of those women who wanted to make the journey alone with any medical interference. Camilla had moved onto something different by the time Elias called. “Hel-” He cut her off, telling her he’d found the boy. They were back to the station shortly after that. The young boy reeled off a story that he’d been staying with a friend. She wasn’t completely sold on the story, but didn’t want to make a scene in front of him. Camilla called the mom into the station and reunited the pair. There was a lot of crying from the mom, but her son mainly looked confused about everything. Once the pair left the station Camilla stormed back inside to find Elias. “Explain to me how the fuck you found that boy? He’s been missing for weeks and you just happen to find him in a few hours? And who the fuck are your private sources?” She kept her voice low as she spoke to him, not wanting the other officers to think there was trouble between two FBI officers, but it was clear she was pissed at him, “Have you forgotten we’re meant to be partners? Or did that all change when you came back from the fucking dead?” Her dark eyes scanned his face. She was trying to find a glimpse of the person who sat with her in the bar until last orders were called, joking and laughing with her, but she couldn’t find him. ELIAS ELLIOTT - wrap with yours? |

Elias remained at his desk while De León got her moment with the little family. He updated the file in the system, then organized the paper one. He didn’t look up when Camilla stormed back in.
“They wouldn’t be private if I told you, would they?” He asked rhetorically, hazel eyes scanning his computer screen until her next question━or set of them. His gaze flicked up to hers, immediately knowing she didn’t truly mean it the way it’d actually happened. And, truthfully, he didn’t come back to life. He wasn’t alive at all.
“Nothing changed, De León.” He lied smoothly, standing from his desk in one fluid motion and walking over to her. He stopped at her side, looming over her tiny frame. “If you had private sources, I wouldn’t push you about them.” Between the lines, his dig was that she didn’t have sources like that at all. “Protecting the identities of citizens is one of our most crucial jobs, is it not?” His lips twisted in a smirk as he threw the book at her.
“And why are you complaining?” He said after a moment, “Aren’t you happy that you got to help that woman? That you were right?” Elias said it over his shoulder as he walked out, then prompt disappeared, not letting her get the last word.
