Hale had no idea what was going on upstairs. He thought Trick gave him the only key to the Dal, so whatever was going on wasn't good. He rushed upstairs to find the bar a mess. There was glass everywhere from the windows, the cabinets and the liquor bottles. The whole place reeked of alcohol which wasn't unusual but it was still overpowering. Hale's eyes immediately locked onto the card that was sat in the middle of a pile of glass. Upon further examination Hale noticed that the card in question had a very familiar feature on it. It had Bo, but for some reason her figure was raised slightly as though she had just been drawn on. The figure next to her was a man in a crisp black, pinstripe, suit with curly ginger hair and a long black wooden cane. His eyes were drawn to the title of the card 'The Wanderer'. He didn't know why but Hale knew something was wrong. And Hale knew only one person to call when something was wrong; Dyson. Unfortunately, Hale was well aware that Dyson had been kidnapped by humans. After all that is what had started this whole damn mess. After some deliberation he called the only person he knew who would be anywhere near Dyson if Bo was actually in this 'Wanderer' card; Tamsin.
Tamsin woke up to an annoying ringing sound that was only amplified by her awful headache. She had a moment of dizziness before she realised where she was. She sat up in a confused panic unsure why he had spared her again. Her eyes shifted to her left where an unconscious Dyson was laying.
'Shit, c'mon wolf-man wake up!'
She slapped his face a couple of times before he grabbed her wrists and growled. His eyes flashed wolf before he realised who was assaulting him.
'Tamsin? What's wrong what happened?'
'We had a bit of an accident'
Both of their heads turned to the flaming mess beside them. Tamsin's mind was going crazy with questioned but she still managed to tell Dyson where the phone was and to turn off the awful noise.
'Hale, it's Dyson. We are kind of stuck'
Tamsin zoned out from the conversation after realising she didn't care at all what the wolf and the siren were talking about. There was only one thing on her mind, Bo. She kept thinking about how she forgave her even after she tried to kill her. She was so noble. Why was she so fucking perfect? It just made it that much harder to do her job. A job that she knew now she could never do. Not after everything that Bo had done for her.
'Hey Tamsin'
'What?' she snapped at the wolf unknowingly.
'Hale is sending a car, but something is wrong'
Her mind immediately went back to Bo.
'What now? It's Bo isn't it?' Her heart was racing and her head was spinning.
'It's Bo'
The Valkyrie's heart sank. If he thinks he saved me just to make me suffer by taking her away he has another thing coming.
Kenzi's favourite song was blasting over the radio causing her to 'rock out' wildly while attempting to drive at the same time. Bruce had to grab the steering wheel on multiple occasions to avoid drifting into another lane and crashing into an unsuspecting civilian. The music was so loud that Kenzi almost didn't here her phone ring. Even when she did hear it she delegated the role of answering it to Bruce, who was having a hard time moving in the small car anyway without having to reach for Kenzi's phone.
'Brucie would ya get that for me?'
'Hello, Kenzi's phone. Bruce speaking' Bruce's voice was incredibly low and shocked Hale who was on the other end of the phone.
'Hello, it's Hale, is Kenzi there'
'Two seconds she's driving. Kenzi, it's Hale'
'Kenzi stopped 'rocking out' immediately at the siren's name. She turned the music off and grabbed her phone from Bruce, giving the gentle giant a shock. He wondered why she had this reaction but accepted Kennzi's actions and began listening intently to the conversation.
'Hi Hale, what's up?' Kenzi was trying, and failing, to sound disinterested.
'Kenz, I don't know where you're at but you need to get back to the Dal, Bo may be in trouble'
'Shit, okay. I'm on my way'. Whatever plan she had in mind was blown away when she thought her best friend was in danger. Bo was more than just Kenzi's best friend. Over the past three years Bo had become a sister to Kenzi, she definitely loved her more than half of her own family.
Kenzi hung up, tossed her phone at bruce who only just managed to catch it and did a sudden U-turn which almost caused a motorway accident and a heart attack where bruce was concerned.
'Where are we going?'
'The Dal'
Bruce was overjoyed at the fact the young girl had chosen not to turn up at massimo's cabin. There was no way of determining what exactly that fae potion Kenzi was after would cause. And frankly Bruce already cared too much for her to let her find out.
Everyone was in the Dal worrying about Bo. The tension was building slowly until Hale finally spoke.
'I think something has happened to Bo'
He placed 'The Wanderer' card on the table in front of everyone. Tamsin gasped when she saw the card. She knew that he had taken her but it wasn't a reality until that moment, when her eyes saw Bo's image etched into the card. She had to hold her tears back and steady her voice before speaking.
'He has her.'
'Who is he?' Dyson was getting angry because Tamsin knew something he didn't. Something that could potentially save Bo.
'Her father, thats who' Tamsin spat.
The room went quiet as everyone processed what Tamsin had just said.
'This guy is Bo's father?' Kenzi sounded confused and helpless. She hated being so clueless but in this instance she knew she wasn't the only one feeling this way.
'Yes this guy is Bo's father and he's a very dangerous man.'
'How dangerous?' Hale was getting more worried with every sentence that came out of Tamsin's mouth.
'Very. Look guys, I know who Bo's father is. I know where they are and I know how to get there. The only thing I don't know is what he wants with Bo.'
The room went silent again as though everyone was waiting for Tamsin to finish her story and spill everything about this man. His identity, his intentions. She was just trying to figure out a way to tell them without having them all turn against her.
'Look, i'm not the type to explain myself so listen up. This may never happen again' Tamsin steadied her breathing and continued.
'Bo's father is Odin. He has taken her to Asgard and there is only one way to get to her from earth, but it's gonna take a lot of smarts to get us all there. Everyone but Kenzi will know that Valkyries are controlled by Odin, we're his bitches. Odin sent me here to find Bo and bring her to him. What he wasn't counting on was what would happen when I found her. Not to go into to much detail here as i'm not good with this shit but I am not going to let anything happen to her, okay. You with me so far?'
Everyone in the room nodded, even Bruce was listening intently. He was starting to feel like he knew Bo and wanted to have a role in what was starting to sound like a rescue mission.
'Anyway we need to find Bo and bring her back before he can do anything to her. Now there is only one way into Asgard from here. Through the Northern lights'
'Through the Northern lights? Are you fucking insane tam-tam?' Kenzi was outraged by the seemingly stupid comment of the Valkyrie. Stupid until she realised that this was common knowledge and she looked like the Stupid one.
Hale felt a pang in his heart when Kenzi looked away from everyone to try and hide her wounded pride. He wanted to hug her and comfort her. But this was not the time. It was time to save Bo. And if they were gonna do it, they had a lot of planning to do.
