Tamsin paced the floors of her apartment. She was mentally scolding herself for her feelings. "The Succubus was supposed to be an easy job. I was supposed to be in and out and back for dinner. I broke the most important rule, never get involved. I'll never be able to get myself out of this mess in one piece." She said out loud as she continued to wear a hole in the floor. "I'm in too deep. I needed to bring her in, not care for her! Dammit Tamsin, what have you gotten yourself into?! Because you couldn't finish the job, you may have gotten yourself and Bo killed. You can't have feelings for her. You just can't! She is just a mark. She is not different from any other job. No, she is different and that's the problem, she said in a huff. Dammit, she is so kind and it's impossible to remain indifferent toward her." The kiss they shared at Brazenwood was burned into her mind. She kept replaying it over and over. It was all that she could think about. "Why did I kiss her? I've always been able to keep my feelings in check. She didn't even use her powers on me. What the hell is wrong with me! It has to be just a crush. There is no way I could fall for someone so noble. She has all that power and won't even use it. It's sickening, really. Yet, here I am, trying not to think about her. What am I going to do?" She threw herself on the couch in a fit of frustration.
"Well I'm in deep now so I guess I have to at least stick to the path that I've chosen." said Tamsin getting up from the couch and heading to the kitchen. She searched the cabinets for some liquor and finally found a bottle of whiskey. She would take her frustration and hurt out on her liver. Maybe if she drank enough than she would not have to deal with what she had done to a woman that she might love. "Oh my God, I'm not in love with her! It's just that she is kind and so different from other people." Said Tamsin taking a long drink straight from the bottle that she had in her hands. She made a face as the whiskey touched her tongue.
"Damn cheap ass whiskey." She said as she chocked it down. "Maybe I should go out and get something better to drank."
She grabbed her bag and headed out the door. She didn't really know where she was going, but she thought that she would see where her mind took her. She got into her truck and just started to drive. It was a nice warm night and a good night to think. Tamsin allowed her mind to wander back to Bo as she drove through the night. She was angry at herself for allowing herself to feel for anyone, let alone for Bo. She had to come to terms with the fact that she had feelings for Bo, whether she liked it or not. She didn't trust herself around her. It would be so easy to give in to her feelings and then things would only get worse. All those years of trusting and being involved with so few people had changed her. She didn't know how to behave like a normal, feeling human being. Feelings were not her area of expertise.
She was in the middle of her thoughts when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Dyson.
"What is it, Wolf? I'm busy" she said with a tone of annoyance.
"We need you and Bo to work a case. We are looking for a group of Red Caps that are causing some trouble at a local camp site. We need you two to go take care of it before it gets out of hand" said Dyson.
"Why does it have to be Bo and me?"
"I'm working another case and I think that she would be good for backup. Do you think that you can handle it" said Dyson in a mocking tone.
"I know that I can handle better than you could. We will head out first thing tomorrow."
