Thomas sat outside the door for a good part of an hour, the commotion from inside had subsided roughly fifteen minutes ago but there was still no sign of the Doctor or Bo.
The click of heels echoed down the hall as Nadia turned the corner carrying what looked to be a bouquet of flowers and some kind of book. She smiled genuinely at the boy as she got closer, "Hello, Mr. Kelly. Is Lauren in the clinic?" She asked stopping in front of the boy.
Thomas's stomach dropped, unofficially Bo wasn't supposed to be there. "She is mam, but she is currently with a patient." He spoke, stepping in front of the door.
Nadia eyed the boy for a moment, "I don't recall there being an appointment set. Who is the patient?"
"Oh just one of the guys from the cyber unit, stomach bug or something. It was an emergency visit, I apologize for not informing you."
"I see, does the patient have a name? I'd like to follow up with them once they are feeling better." She questioned, trying to peer though the small glass in the door.
"I'm sorry mam, but I am not familiar with the Cyber Unit staff just yet, I will be sure to ask their name once Doctor Lewis is done." He couldn't tell if the woman was believing his story or not, she must have because she gave him a quick nod before handing over the flowers, asking that he give those to Lauren before bidding him farewell and disappearing around the corner.
Thomas's heart was racing, he hated lying to people, especially people who could demand harsh punishments. 'They need to hurry up' he thought as he turned to push the door open.

Moments earlier.
"I don't think I could ever tire from your kisses, or how your touch give me goosebumps all over. I could seriously lay here forever with you and be the happiest succubus around." Bo hummed, lazily rubbing the blondes back.
Lauren laid on top of the succubus as her limbs were currently rendered useless. Her ear pressed against Bo chest, listening to the steady beat.
She knew it was way past the time Bo should have been back by now, but she didn't want this moment to end. She wanted them to stay in this bubble forever, because she knew as soon as Bo left those doors, reality would set in, and she would have to inflict a horrible amount of pain onto Bo.
She wasn't a hundred percent sure why Taft needed bone marrow, but it didn't feel right. All this talk about becoming far more superior than any Fae, he had to be onto something or he wouldn't have had Nadia betray me to get me here.
Voices from outside the door startle the blonde as she quickly lifted up to try and hear better. The male voice was definitely Thomas, but the female voice she couldn't quite pinpoint. Regardless she needed to get Bo back to her cell quick.
She could tell Thomas was either trying to stall, or get the person to go. She would need to find a way to thank gin later. "Bo, get it and get dressed now. We need to get you back to your cell." Lauren ordered, prancing around the room, picking up clothing and straightening beakers and utensils.
"I thought you had to do the procedure after the exam?" Bo questioned, catching flying clothes.
"That was the excuse if we were to get caught, I'm actually not supposed to have any contact with you. Except for the procedures of course, but I needed to see you, and make sure you were alright." Lauren spoke, placing her palm against the brunettes cheek. "I'm going to find a way to get us out of here, Bo. All of us, I just need a little time to fully understand Taft's plans."
Bo nodded in response as she wrapped her arms around the Doctor, pulling her close. "I have faith that you will figure this out, Lo. You're the finest problem solver I've ever met." She smiled, placing a chest kiss against her lips.
Just then the woman's voice became clear, it was Nadia. "Alright then, I will be expecting that name later. Will you give these to Lauren for me?"
"Bo you need to get dressed now, that was Nadia. Can you imagine the shit show that could have been if would of just barged in?" The blonde spoke, panic in her voice as she began to pace around the room.
"But she didn't, Lo. Thomas is a good kid, he wouldn't of let her do that." Bo replied, grabbing the woman in her arms, halting her pace. "Look at me."
Turning to meet her gaze, Bo's eyes were a mix of golden hazel and that electric blue her succubus carries, it was a breathtaking site. "Bo, your eyes. Their a mix of gold and blue. How is that possible?"
"I could ask you the same Doc, you're eyes are doing the same exact thing." Golden specks, mixed with blue. 'How is that possible?'
Just then the door swung open, Thomas quickly looking away from the two naked women. "Sorry guy, but I need to get Bo back to her cell."
Both girls chuckled at the boy before shooting him away.

"You ready?"
"Ready." Bo spoke, quickly leaning in to kiss the blonde one last time. "I love you." Lauren smiled at the brunette as she backed away.
Thomas was at the door, "These are for you. I'd imagine she would find it rude if you didn't place them somewhere in here."
"Thanks, Thomas. I'll be sure to do so. You two be careful heading back." Bo and the boy both nod, as they began to leave.

"I'm glad you had a change of heart, Thomas. Your parents would be so proud of you, and I promise you that when we get out of here I'll be sure to hunt down the Fae that killed your parents and bring them to justice." Bo spoke as they made their way back. Thomas gave her a weak smile and nod in return.
Just as they were rounding a corner a flash of black came from the other side as the butt of a twelve gage connected with Bo's face, knocking her out cold. Thomas raised his gun at the assailant, but was met by several more pointed his direction.
"Of all my men Thomas, you were the one I had high hopes for, but I guess I misjudged you." Taft spoke, as one of the men discharged prongs into the boy's side, effectively dropping him to his knees. The last person he saw before he too was knocked out cold was Nadia cowering behind the men. 'Fucking Bi-'

Cold water shocked Bo conscious. Her head was pounding and she was having a hard time opening her right eye. "There she is. We've been waiting on you to start the party." A voice rang out. Bo fought to focus her eye as the sound of several boots maneuvered around the room. She tried to move her arms, but was unable due to the ties around her wrists. She sat on her knees, slightly hunched over.
"Bo, I'm so sorry.." a softer voice filled her ears next to her. Turning towards the person, Bo saw that Thomas was also tied up with a gash across his forehead. Wet and dried blood covered his face. He looked as though he had crying.
Bo's heart began to race, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. I just simply want to teach you a lesson. You are to valuable to be running around free like that, especially seeing the Good Doctor when it has been forbidden. Cost her quite a punishment, mind you." Taft began, slowly pacing around the top.
Bo scanned the room full of guards, stopping when a certain brunette was spotted. Nadia stood in the back with her head low as the lunatic continued to rant. "Thanks to Nadia, we found our traitor. I knew it was only a matter of time before one of these idiots fell under your thrall. To bad it had to be Thomas." He finished, tisk-tisking.
"What do you want, prick?" Bo spat, eyeing the man down.
He couldn't help laughing at the word choice. "I want to teach you a lesson." With the snap of his fingers the door behind him opened revealing the Doctor being shoved from behind into the room. She had a black eye and several lacerations along her jaw and mouth. She looked worn. Nadia couldn't believe the sight either, Taft said he'd leave the Doctor alone.
The sight sent the succubus into rage as she jumped to her feet, straight for Taft, but before she could reach him she was shot down with a taser, followed by that damn piercing sound completely paralyzing the succubus in spot.
A sick laugh erupted from Taft as he ordered his men to sit the succubus up, facing the young boy. "I want it known that I will do whatever is necessary to keep this project moving. I have no time for the bothersome bullshit." He spoke, walking by one of his men, grabbing the mans pistol. Stopping just before the young boy, kneeling down to his level. "I need to know why you did what you did, Mr. Kelly. Why you would put our research at risk like that?" He finished, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder.
"I-I don't know, sir. I felt sorry for them. I-I guess I just let my better judg-"
The blast of the shot echoed through the tiny room as Thomas's body went limp against the floor, a red substance pooling around his head. Lauren couldn't believe what she just seen, she had screamed 'No' as he had raised the gun, dropping to her knees as the shot went off.
Bo was helpless to do anything. Unable to react, all she could do was let tears fall. Many different emotions courses through her body.
Anger and hate, sympathy and sadness, but most of all uselessness.
Footsteps echoed across the floor stopping in front of Bo. She didn't need to look up to know who it was, his stench was all to familiar with her now. A smell she would hold onto until she could suck him dry.
Kneeling down, Taft held malevolent grin as he met her eyes. "See what happens to young boys when you're around? At least this one wasn't by your own hands, though it might have well been."
Bo's body was shaking, it was unhealthy to harbor the amount of rage she currently was, and it being able to lash out. It was literally making her bones and muscles ache. "I-I'm going t-to enjoy-y killing y-you." She spat, finding just enough strength to get that out.
Taft just continued to smile before rising back up. "Take her to to the cells, a different one from the mutt. I'll deal with you later." He glared, lifting her chin with the pistols barrel.
Grabbing Bo to her feet two men began to drag her out of the room, right over Thomas's body, "and when you're done locking her up bring me the Doctor. She hasn't received her punishment yet."
Bo grunted and fought as hard as she could, but it was futile in the end. Her body was to weak. All she could do was look at Lauren as they dragged her off. Lauren had made her way towards the boy's body, entering medical mode, but not before she watches with sad eyes as Bo was taken away. Something had to be done soon if any of them wanted a chance to live.
A gentle hand placed on Lauren's shoulder startled her as she met brown eyes. Nadia face was unreadable, no doubt there was sadness, but something more was underlining. "Lauren... I-I'm so sorry.. I had no idea Taft would go this far. I've never seen this side of him before. He's lost it. God, I'm so stupid for bringing you all here, and now.. Now Thomas is dead... because of me. I got this boy killed... How the hell do I live with that?!" She continued, on the verge of being histarical.
A quick hand connected with her face, effectively shutting up her rant. Lauren's eyes were ice blue with hints of golden specks throughout, Nadia to was mesmerized to even worry about the red mark that would soon appear across her cheek.
"You deal with it like you dealt with walking out those doors long ago, and how you dealt with lying and tricking me into coming here. THAT'S how you are going to deal with it Nadia. This is on you, ALL of it and so help me God if anything happens to Bo, or any of my other agents I will cut you heart out the way you did mine only literally." Lauren spat.
Before Nadia could reply two guards entered the room ushering Lauren away, leaving Nadia to her own thoughts, with only the company of a dead boy for feedback and insight.
