"I don't understand why you can't just tell her you got it back, Dyson," Trick said, serving a drink to him.
"Because it won't change anything, Trick. Bo is happy now. That's all I care about," he replied, grabbing the cold drink in front of him.
Dyson knew he was only fooling himself. Besides he had been the one that had made the ultimate sacrifice to save Bo's life, and would do it again in a heartbeat, even if the result was still the same as it is now. Bo with Lauren, Dyson, with nobody. He sat at the bar, thinking of all the things he could give Bo, that Lauren never could. A family, a long life together, a life with someone of her own kind instead of someone she was forbidden to be with. Sure maybe he didn't have Lauren's smarts, or her inexplicable spell over Bo, but he could give Bo the best life, the life she wanted, the life she needed. Why would she choose Lauren over him!
Just as he was thinking his last thought, his cellphone vibrated in his pocket. "Speaking of the devil," he said to Trick as he grabbed his phone, flashing it at Trick.
"Dyson," he answered, knowing who it was. "Dyson, hey, we've got a problem here, I need you," Bo spoke from the other end of the line.
"What's wrong?" He said rising from his seat and grabbing his jacket off of the chair.
"Well, Tamsin said there's this Fae that was kidnapping humans for a little supply and demand for himself. But when we got here, Tamsin said that they were Fae, not human at all. We could really use your help here."
"Where are you?" He demanded to know.
"In the woods, behind the Abandoned Orchard. We'll meet you at the entrance to the woods, bring a van or something, there's at least a handful of kids here."
"Okay, I'll be there in like fifteen minutes," he said running out the door.
"Thank you, Dyson, she said hanging up. He grabbed the keys to a police transport van and headed off towards the said location.
After a few minutes, he was there as promised. He saw Bo and Tamsin at the entrance, followed by a few unkempt looking teenagers.
"Has anyone been harmed?" He said turning off the engine and heading towards them.
"You called him?!" Tamsin immediately challenged as soon as she saw him.
"We needed his help, Tamsin," Bo stated calmly.
"No we didn't, what he needed was you to listen to what I said and leave him out if it," she stood in front of Bo belittling her.
"Tamsin, you know you shouldn't go chasing leads on your own anyway. Fae world or cop world. It's against protocol, you always have back up, that's the way it goes," Dyson barked, coming to his lovers defense.
"I don't give a fuck about your protocol, wolf, I don't need your help, not now, not ever."
She stormed past Bo and Dyson, and to her truck. She jumped in and slammed the door, taking off furiously.
"Something has got to give with that girl. I swear."
"Anyway, this is Mark, Talulah, Jasmine, Kia, and Dex," she introduced them one by one to him.
"Come on guys let's get you back to your families," he proclaimed, escorting them past Bo and into the truck.
"Thank you again, Dyson. You're always here when I need you."
"Whatever you need, Bo."
He couldn't help feeling that he was closer and closer to telling Bo the truth soon. Knowing that it wouldn't change the situation, he felt he owed it to her, to be honest. Just because the Norn had taken his love of Bo, doesn't mean she took Bo's love of him. He walked back to the van with Bo.
"Dyson, I think we really need to talk," Bo said almost out of nowhere.
"Of course, Bo, whenever you're ready." They drove the young Fae back to the police station, where they were returned to their own sides, Dark or Light; to the families that missed them the most. Upon all the congratulations going on in the room, from both the officers and the families that had been given a second chance with their prodigies, Dyson felt as though all he could see, was the woman he had fallen in love with, the woman, he had given all his love to.
After all the teens had been given back to their family members, Dyson and Bo were left with more of a mystery than ever. "We need to call, Tamsin, find out what she knows and how she knows it, it's the best way to break this case," Dyson said.
"You think she'll tell us anything? Something is going on, Dyson, I don't know what, but i'm going to find out," she marched out of the police station.
