Tamsin woke up in the Crack Shack. She knew that Dyson had offered to let her stay at his space, but now that Athena met Kenzi she's been stuck at momz' hip. They had both gotten drunk and, being the mother Tamsin is, she worried a bit over her daughter and momz. Bo had to go find a feed, so she offered her bed for the night, and the blonde had decided 'why not?' She could watch the two drunks, just to make sure they wouldn't kill themselves.When she awoke, she didn't notice the arms wrapped around her waist. The Valkyrie yawned, and in that moment noticed said arms around her, she jumped and tried to get away from whoever was holding her, but relaxed when she recognized it was Bo. "Shit Succubus," she whispered and unlatched Bo's arms from her waist.
She went downstairs to find Athena asleep on the floor and Kenzi already up cussing in Russian over her hangover, making Tamsin laugh lightly. "Morning momz, how'd you sleep?"
"Great besides the fucking hangover," Kenzi stretched her arm out and Tamsin, having been prepared for this, handed her two Advils. "Thanks Lil' T."
Tamsin smiled, "No problem." She looked around the kitchen for a moment before saying, "well there's shit to cook, only cereal, and I have to head to work soon."
Kenzi nodded, "Oh! Athena mentioned last night that you're making Bo-Bo and I go house shopping with her?"
"Yea and since she has to grab her stuff, she has to take my truck," Tamsin responded with a slight frown in her eyebrows.
"Nice," Kenzi grinned from ear to ear, "I promise we won't wreck it on the first day."
"None of you better even think it, or you'll all be skinned and used as my new foot carpet," Tamsin growled playfully, but a little seriously considering she had already gotten attached to her brand new truck. "I hope you and Bo don't mind helping her though, I know she's grown, but with the Morrigan still wanting me dead; I don't want her after Athena."
"No problems Lil' T, we'll be with her. What cases you have today?"
"Just the one that hit my desk when Athena was brought to me." Kenzi rose her brow in confusion. "The one about how her adoptive parents died. When she came, Dyson grabbed the case as well. Since Ariana and Mark are practically family to me, and Athena's parents, I'm going to find the killer."
"Alone?" Tamsin nodded. "Why? You have Dyson, Tamsin."
"I know this is something I have to do though," Tamsin sighed. "It's important to me and Athena. I just can't bring anyone into this, I need to know what happened and find out why they we're both killed. I know Mark doesn't have enemies because they're all dead and Ariana is a very quiet and hidden Siren, so no one really knows about her except Light fae. Even so, no one bothers with those two."
Kenzi nodded, "When you need help and you know it Tamsin, don't hide it, ask for help got it? We don't need to lose you again. I don't need to lose someone else."
Tamsin smiled, "You won't lose me I'm not going anywhere," she looked to Athena as she grabbed her coat, "Tell them where I'm going okay? And call me if we get the place okay?"
"I will," Kenzi waved as Tamsin left, and when she did, Bo came down the stairs in her kimono.
"Morning Succu-babe."
"Morning Kenz, where's Tamsin?" Bo responded curiously.
"She just left to the Cop Shop, have fun last night?"
"If you're asking that I fed, then yea, so what's the plan for today?"
"Well Tamsin left in your Mustang to work and we are helping out baby Valkyrie with packing and finding a house with Tamsin's new truck." Kenzi smirked.
"Tamsin's new truck?" Bo asked slightly confused.
"You haven't seen it?" Kenzi gasped. "That truck is fucking huge and beast! How did you miss it when you came home last night?" Bo just shrugged. "Well then Bo-Bo, you'll see it."
"I'm a bit curious…"
"What about?"
"Athena," Bo looked to the sofa. "I know she's no threat, it's just different to have someone new in the gang, you know? It's good that we have more help for when shit hits the fan. You think she'll like me though? I mean, since I'm getting Tamsin back soon, I'm going to be something soon and..."
Kenzi started to laugh as Bo was rambling on and on, worrying over Athena. "Calm down
Bo-licious! I'm sure baby Valkyrie will like you. She has the attitude of Tamsin, but way nicer, don't worry." Bo rose her brow at the Goth. "What?"
"Oh nothing," Bo smiled as she saw the Goth's aura heat up, "just be careful, okay?"
Kenzi smiled, "Yea okay Bo, we should wake baby Valkyrie up so we can eat and start packing."
"You can wake her up. I already know how Tamsin acts if she gets woken up and I don't want to see how baby Valkyrie is when waking up." Bo smirked as Kenzi's shoulders shrunk in. Everyone knew if you woke up Tamsin, you were in deep shit. Unless it was an emergency, then you were still in deep shit upon waking her up, until she was able to process the reason.
Tamsin reached the Cop Shop after constantly cursing the whole ride, being required to drive the Mustang wasn't the best start to her day. Dyson was already working on a case when she walked in, so she grabbed the case that was given to her over the murder of Ariana and Mark.
"What case you working on partner?" Dyson asked with a grin.
It wasn't a case he knew about and Tamsin knew he was going to ask, but she hadn't come up with an excuse on exactly what to tell him. "Just looking into a fae murder is all."
"The one that came with Athena?" Tamsin nodded. "It's a light fae murder, I looked into it when we got it. Your starting on it already?"
Tamsin nodded again, looking over the pictures of the murder scene. It wasn't in the house, she knew that for sure, and there didn't look to be anything left behind by the murderer. "I have to. I know we already have a case, but I have to work on this one alone Dyson."
"Tamsin I can help," he responded with concern coating his voice.
She shook her head, "Finish the case that we were working on. I will deal with this one." Dyson just sighed and Tamsin closed the case. Having seen enough, she decided she'd visit the scene herself. "I'm a Valkyrie, so don't worry pup, I'll be fine."
"If you need me just call," Dyson stated as she left.
Tamsin got into the Mustang and drove to the address. It was in a park and it had already been closed off with crime scene tape. Looking around, she knew it was too vulnerable to strike during the day, but at night it wasn't, and they had found the bodies in the morning that was for sure. Tamsin kneeled over where the bodies had been left and yet again nothing was left to give her a hint on anything for much of a lead. "The bodies had to been dragged here," she mumbled to herself, but Mark was strong enough to put up a fight unless they had gotten to Ariana first and killed her. It was an easy way to kill a Valkyrie when they are bonded; just to kill the bonded one, but when Tamsin had looked at the pictures, Mark had nail marks grazing his shoulder so she knew that he did put up a fight. When she looked at Ariana there was a wound on her stomach enough to make her bleed out, but she must have still been fighting to have gained the rest of those marks. "Has to be some kind of shifter." The only shifters she knew of were Dyson, but he wouldn't do this, then there were some that are dark fae, and who would do this; but the question Tamsin wanted to know was, why anyone would kill them. Then it hit her, someone could have found out she was the biological mother of Athena and use Ariana and Mark as a target, but she still didn't know who. The Morrigan wouldn't go this far to get her attention, but she didn't know who else wanted her dead on the dark side. Her phone went off, making her jump out of her thoughts and answer, "Hello."
Tamsin heard a rough voice from the other end."It's Acacia." Tamsin nodded to herself. "I've got a small lead on who could have killed Ariana and Mark. Those graze marks on them are false, come to the Dal and we can talk some more." She hung up quickly and Tamsin walked backed over to the Mustang. Okay, so there's goes the false lead that she knew and there was a new one. Figures that Acacia would help, Mark was a son to her now. Tamsin began trying even harder to figure out who could have killed them and she was hoping it wasn't because of her, or because Athena was her daughter.
Tamsin arrived at the Dal and walked in with vodka waiting for her alongside Acacia. "About time bitch," Acacia grunted out.
"Shut up, the crime scene was far," Tamsin replied with a scoff.
"Why didn't you take the wolf with you to sniff something out?"
"It's my case," Tamsin sighed, "well technically mine and yours, what is the lead you found?"
"Well a friend of mine also knew Mark and Ariana. He had been with them that night and when they were dragged off, as well." Tamsin raised her brow. "He's in hiding, figured that the killer would be after him; though he didn't get a good look, he knows that the killer isn't a shifter."
"So what the fuck is he then?"
"An Encantado."
"Why would an Encantado be after them?"
"How the fuck should I know? When you find the bitch, ask. Look, there are two Encantados in the area here and I was waiting for your ass to get back before I went in alone. I may be a Valkyrie, but Encantados are bitches to kill. The one we are looking for is male though, so that slims it down."
"Well let's get going then."
"Hold up! This Encantado is an Elder and that's why I was waiting for your bitch ass. If we're going up against an Elder, we have to be equipped."
"I have a few daggers in the Mustang," Tamsin smirked.
"Mustang?"
"I took Bo's car and a few weapons just in case, as always."
"Why?"
"Athena is going to pack a few things from the house, sell it, then go look for a new place today."
Acacia shook her head, "Alright bitch, we still have to wait till sunset anyway, so have a few beers and relax before we have to go and kick some Encantado's ass."
