Chapter 2

The following morning Bo woke up to silence. Usually it was Kensi who had made breakfast, and woke her up in the morning. But now it appeared she slept in, which Bo decided to let be. She had done a lot of thinking when Kensi left, and came to the realization that Kensi was right. She had been treating her differently, but why she didn't know and nor was it her intention to do so. It was just as of late her feelings to Kensi changed. Not in a romantic sense it was like she had become more protective of her. She saw her as her little sister and in some ways a child, her child that needed to be sheltered and coddled. Where it came from she didn't know. She was about to look into the reasoning behind it, but was distracted by the Ash and the Morigan when they asked her and their group to take part in a mission. The mission frustrated and worried Bo to no end. The Fae leaders had temporarily made it against the law to harm any human, so the Fae who fed on them had to live off of animals for the time being. The Ash and the Morigan had requested that Bo, Dyson, Hale, and Trick watch the Fae who lived in the City and the surrounding areas, if any of them dare go against the law they were to be brought before their leaders for punishment.

Those few directions was all they were told, so they all went to the Dal to have a drink and discuss this drastic change. They were so distracted and frustrated that when Kensi showed up looking sick, and in need of comfort they blew her off and snapped at her. They hadn't meant to, but they were too concerned with other business to deal with whatever was bothering their Kensi. But after the fight that night, Bo regretted it. They had really hurt Kensi, and when Kensi mentioned having been alone since she was little and always being on the move it made Bo afraid. So she snapped demanding that Kensi not walk away from her, she didn't know it then but it was her attempt to keep her with them, and now after a good night's rest she could see her blow up for what it was. She just hoped Kensi would forgive her.

Bo had decided to start breakfast, when she was surprised by a knock at the door. She went to see who it was, and to her surprise it was Dyson, Trick, and Hale.

"So you're all feeling bad too uh?" Bo asked leaning against the frame of the door.

"Umm…" Hale paused, "Just where's Little momma?"

Bo shook her head, "She's still sleeping."

Dyson looked at her stunned and a bit concerned, "That's not like her at all, she's an endless ball of energy. Did she say anything to you last night when she came in?"

Bo shook her head, "No all I heard of her last night was the opening and closing of the door then her boots trapping up the stairs. I figured that if she didn't want to talk then, there was always the following morning to work things out." Bo looked back up the stairs.

"Well its morning now," Trick commented stating the obvious, "And there is no time like the present."

Bo nodded her head and headed up to Kensi's room. When the others followed she was not surprised, instead she was very pleased. If Kensi's problem was bad then she was going to need all the help she could get in the comforting department.

Bo knocked gently and waited for a reply when she got none she called out softly, "Kenz," there was still no answer, "Kenzi please…" when no reply came, she knocked harder. "kenzi come one we need to talk…" She looked back at the others then gently turned the knob and said as the door creaked open, "Fine if you won't come to the door then we're coming in."

When they walked into the room Kenzi wasn't there, Bo in a panic tore about the room looking for her or some sort of sign that said she was still out and would be back soon. There wasn't any; she went and looked in the closet and found Kenzi's clothes in a neat little pile. Then she went and investigated Kenzi's little desk, what she found there made her gasp in fear. It was a folded up piece of paper, a note addressed to all of them. Bo could sense the others coming behind her, could feel their breath on her neck. She looked at Trick with pleading eyes, because she couldn't bear to read what she knew was a goodbye note.

Trick just nodded his head, and gently took the note from Bo. He unfolded it and read it aloud so they could all hear.

I was never good at goodbyes. Call it another human flaw, or the flaw of a street kid who always avoids this type of thing. I broke one of my cardinal rules, never get attached, never set down roots because when you have to leave it just makes it harder. But hey I'm Kenzi, breaking rules and joining in on some crazy a**s adventure is my kind of thing. But like all adventures reality sets in and they have to come to an end. It was good times though right?

Bo, God girl what do I say that makes this any easier. You know I was never good at the sad stuff. So let's keep it all rainbows and puppy dogs. No pun intended D man. Anyhow Bo you will always have a place in my heart. You're my sister, and the person that has kept me alive by loving me. And for that I am grateful, but it's time for me to move on. I don't belong in your world anymore. So I am returning to mine, to find answers to the questions that I have asked every day since I was first placed into the system. I'm sorry, but you don't need me anymore. So stay the strong, dangerous, and sexy Succubus I know you to be. Whatever bad is out there kick it's a**s for me. And be patient true love will find you. But it doesn't hurt to have some sexual fun. Hint*hint*

D man, What can I say? You are the best man I have ever known. You protected and cared for me when you didn't have to. I wasn't your concern, but you made me your concern. And I thank-you for that, you are one of my best friends and I will miss you. And screw the f**n norm or norn, you have love left in you. I know you do I've seen it. So don't give up. And hey maybe the Norn did it so you could find you're true mate. Whoever that may be, it may take a while but you'll find her. Just be patient, and when you do find her don't let her go. Now on a lighter note, don't chase the mailman, or chew on your friend's shoes. Because you never know they may just use a rolled up newspaper on that sexy a**s of yours. Take care of yourself.

Goodbye

Trick, My man, God I hate this, but it is what is. So here's what I've got to say thank-you for all the things you've done for me and for Bo. You are like a second father to me. You have done more for me than any foster parent or state worker has ever done. I will miss you and I want you to know that if I had enough guts I would have bought you some cheasy father's day gift or card to let you know what you mean to me. But those times are past so um Thank-you and Goodbye

PS give my free drinks to the others.

Hale, Dude, Writing this is making me cry, so this is going to be short and sweet. You are my brother and friend in every way. No one else would have taken the time to joke, and come up with crazy handshakes like you. If I had one wish when I was little it would be to have a big brother just like you. I know kiss up right ha ha, now to the serious stuff. Dude I need you to be the one keeping everyone sane. Crack a joke at every possible moment to keep them on their toes, and be the best dressed in the group. THAT IS YOUR MISSION DO NOT FAIL.

That's all

Kenzi

PS Please everyone take care of each other and yourselves.

Trick stood stunned, as he wiped a tear from his eye. He hadn't meant to let the little human girl get so close to his heart, but he did. He didn't regret it, the only regret he had was not telling her that in every way that mattered she was his daughter. And now she was gone. He wanted to go and get her back. He wanted to tell her that even if the others were too busy he would be there to help her through whatever problem she was facing. But he didn't move he was too stunned and uncertain as to what the others would do.

Bo who was facing away from them had her arms wrapped around her stomach as silent tears fell down her cheeks. Then she let out a whimper and cried, "No kenzi, no…"

Dyson just stood there torn and unsure as to whether he should comfort Bo or take off after Kenzi. Finally growling fists clenched he looked at Hale, and Trick. As his eyes glowed yellow and said, "We will get her back, because this is where she belongs she's pack and packs should always stick together…. I already lost one I won't lose another."

Hearing Dyson's words Bo looked at him with hope and desperation. "D..Dyson?"

"We'll get her back Bo." Dyson said interrupting her, "We just have to figure out where she's going and why. Has she told you anything about her past?"

Bo shook her head, "No, whenever I asked she would avoid it and make some type of joke. I knew she was hiding something, but I never pushed it."

Dyson nodded his head then turned to Hale, "Did she tell you anything?"

Hale shook his head, "No, man but there was a couple of times whenever I would ask her what her parents were like that she would say they were great, as in they were in a past tense."

Trick's head shot up at that. "She said something like that when I asked her if she didn't have family to go and see. I remember her turning her head away, then she said not for a long time. She left it at that and didn't come back to the Dal for several days."

Bo turned and looked out the little window by Kenzi's bed. "Does this mean, she's always been a street kid?"

Dyson shook his head, "I don't know, but if we are ever going to find her we've got a lot of digging to do."

Everyone got ready quickly and headed out to the police station; to use Hale and Dyson's private computers. But before they left Dyson took a deep breath in taking in the smells around Bo and Kenzi's shack. And shook his head sadly, Kenzi's scent wasn't fresh and the trail from the house was cold. The only chance they had of tracking her was in the information they got from the computer data base.

When they arrived at the station, Dyson quickly led them to his desk and began his search. He looked up Kenzi's last name but found no record. So he figured that if there was no record then her last name was a fake, which didn't surprise him street kids always changed their last name if not their first to avoid being caught. Finally he searched through the database using only Kenzi's description and age.

Everyone waited for what seemed like hours for Kenzi's profile to come up, when it finally did, Dyson began to read aloud, "Mckenzie Rose Messenger. Born May 25th 1990 parents named Gabriel Tristan Messenger, and Aishlynn May Messenger. Mckenzie Rose entered the system at five years old after an officer found her by the roadside covered in blood. Young Mckenzi proceeded to tell the officer that her parents were sleeping in a field and wouldn't wake up. Using Cadaver Dogs to locate the bodies, officers found the remains of the couple several miles away from where they found their daughter. When officers went to investigate the scene it was believed that her parents were killed in a freak accident after being caught in a storm that evening. Mckenzie was quickly removed from the scene and placed in the care of the state…."

"Oh my god," Bo stammered. Here she was complaining about her past but at least she got a decent childhood. She glanced around the room and saw the same surprise and sadness in her friends eyes.

"Is there more?" Hale asked..

"Ya umm a lot more and it gets worse," Dyson answered after a quick glance at the screen, then continued to read, "Mckensi was removed from her first home after only a month when abuse and neglect were discovered. After that she went through several foster homes some abusive and others only short term." Dyson sighed, " Seems It was the short term ones that could have been the perfect fit for her. She was happy and cared for but it always came to pass that they either had to move or they were expecting their own child so couldn't handle Kenzi anymore. Then she ended up in a far worse place then where she was. It says here that in her preteen years she was abused and treated like a slave by three foster homes. Then later when she was 14 she accused a local football star of raping her, but because no one believed her no charges were filed and she lost another home. Then at sixteen she got pregnant but after losing the baby due to stress and again suspected abuse she split and was never seen again."

"Jesus Christ," Hale yelled, "How could a system meant to protect children let a child go through that?"

Dyson shook his head, and bit back a growl. " I know, I know."

"So how are we going to find her," Bo asked trying to avoid talking about her friends past. Because her desire for vengeance would distract her from finding Kenzi and bringing her home, One thing at a time Bo, One thing at a time.

Trick stunned by what he heard quickly answered, "There are a few rituals we could do to tell us her location. But then we will have to decide who will go and retrieve her."

"Let's do it then," Bo said, then grabbed her jacket and stood impatiently.

Hale looked at them all and said, "Dyson my man, you are the fastest. And knowing Kenzi after the way we treated her she's going make a run for it when she sees us coming."

Dyson growled, "So what am I supposed to do? run and tackle her to the ground…"

Hale rolled his eyes, "No cut her off and cover your ears, I'll use my powers to knock her out. Then we will all get her to see that we care about her and shit."

Bo rolled her eyes, "He's right so now can we all get to finding her first then bringing her home…"

"Fine let's get it done," Dyson nodded once and out the door he went.

Hale patted Bo on the shoulder, "Let's bring our girl home," then he followed Dyson out the door.

Trick just nodded his head once and looked at Bo. "Well let's get the brat home there is no way I am letting her throw away her free drinks." Then he gave her arm a comforting squeeze and out the door they went.
