"You want a revelation.

You want to get it right.

But it's a conversation, I just can't have tonight."

- No Light, No Light, Florence and The Machine

When inside the local station - after ten straight minutes of Kenzi rambling on and on - Tamsin felt as though she was falling back into her natural element. If nothing else she was a hard worker; she could pour ounces of effort and time into a job no matter how important it was. Surely being here could only prove to be a valuable distraction from the recent drama? It had to be. Apparently there was a 'serious' case that had cropped up, so she could think of nothing better to lose herself in than something dangerous and dramatic. Of course, it didn't help that she had been deprived of sleep - and that her body held several aches from the close encounter with the unrestrained succubus. All in all, she probably looked rundown like hell, but as she said, rest was for the weak, she could sleep when she had sorted out the tangle of mess and raw emotions that her life had become.

As they had entered the upper offices of the building, Dyson was present, looking over the set of files on his desk. However, it then became a second priority to him as he raised his head. On instinct, he spoke the first name that came to his head. "Bo? Good you're-" Whilst standing from the wooden chair, and turning around, he was forced to pause upon realizing his mistake. "Tamsin?" He amended the name, wearing a soft frown of confusion. The female had the scent of the succubus all over her, even when looking at her, his senses were jammed by the natural and heavy fragrance that had become so familiar to him.

The valkyrie shook her head sternly, trying not to think about the brunette too much. It just made her feel like she was decaying to do so. "Nope, wrong, wolf boy." She altered her defeated attitude and coaxed herself into acting as normal as she could. There was no reason that everyone in the world had to become involved in her problems. She could deal with it all by herself. "I borrowed her shirt, that's probably what threw you off." Before she waited for endless questions, as would be expected, she came up with a cheap excuse in her mind and voiced it instead, "I stayed at her place last night. My own blouse was in quite a state, so I took this little 'pick me up' instead."

"Well, in either case, you look wrecked. Didn't you get any sleep at all?" The male asked, quirking an amused brow to see that his usual uptight partner was looking not-so-uptight.

Kenzi smirked to herself and purposely cleared her throat, seeming as though she was in on a joke that no one else knew about. "Apparently valkyries don't need sleep. They just work all night long." She mumbled quietly to herself.

The blonde caught onto what was said, however, and subtly lowered one of her hands. With a bright grin appearing from nowhere, she placed her hand against the back of the girl's thigh and squeezed firmly. "I'm sorry, what was that Kenzi? I didn't quite hear you." Obviously she was really saying, 'tread carefully', but she assumed that the hint would be picked up.

Eyes widening, the human felt her body threatening to jolt at the unexpected pressure. The way that Tamsin's fingers pressed into her nerves caused her to release an abrupt gasp, which she soon masked into a chuckle, "Uh, right, what I meant was... we were watching movies last night."

"Exactly." The valkyrie accepted the way that she had forced the girl into assisting her excuse, and so she released her thigh, coming to smirk when she noticed the fleeting look of relief wash over the mortal's face.

"Movies, huh? I hope they were decent." Dyson commented with an open mind, seeing no need to really question what had gone on. 'Girl time' was probably something that he would rather not know about anyway, thus, he turned back around to sort out the files so that he could get the other two females caught up to speed.

Kenzi now saw the perfect chance to get back at the blonde for the 'leg squeeze' and so she nodded, "Oh yeah, there was one about some crazy love triangle. It turns out that the hero of the plot was a big sissy in the end who couldn't admit to loving someone." Her reference, of course, was to nothing other than the scene she had overheard in the house this morning, as well as the fact that the female detective really did have an awful struggle when it came to talking about her feelings.

Fortunately, the valkyrie could see through the discretion easily and hitched a brow up. "Well, if you remember, the hero was smart enough to see that love was a weakness." She rebounded before casually slipping her arm around Kenzi's neck, squeezing her a little closer, "and the hero's sidekick also drowned because she wouldn't stop yabbering."

"Yes...well, she was my favorite character too." Kenzi swallowed nervously, knowing that she was treading in thin ice with the way that she was teasing the blonde.

Although it was a thrust and parry really, Tamsin could give out as good as she got.

Dyson was partially listening to the two squabble behind him, but he didn't put anything behind it yet, he just assumed it was natural bickering. His main focus lay on the paperwork and photographs that he had laid out neatly on the desk. "As fascinating as that sounds, we've got a new problem in that needs solved, as soon as possible." While explaining, he lifted up a certain document of paper, preparing to give further insight into what he was talking about.

Yet, he was soon cut off when Kenzi had taken a hold of said file, "yoink!" She exclaimed cheerfully as she pulled it from the male's fingers and into her own grasp. Her eyes were scanning over the written lines, skipping the bulk of paragraphs and skipping to, what she considered, the most important parts, "oh, dead people, yada yada yada, why am I not surprised?" Yes, she could be simple minded sometimes, selecting the obvious details to voice out loud.

Tamsin merely rolled her eyes and shook her head, to her it honestly did feel as though she was watching over some immature child. 'And to think, she said I wouldn't even notice she was here, the little liar'. In the small silence that had come about, she found that her thoughts were beginning to drift, verging onto thinking about the succubus. Picturing Bo's beautiful face now was like a sweet poison in the valkyrie's mind. It hurt, but it was the type of pain that she would walk herself into. Like when a person strolled through the park during a blizzard - the snow froze them to death and nipped at their skin, but they continued anyway. It was never questioned, but it did paint a certain beauty to the person for coping with it.

"Yoink, back." Dyson brought reality back to the situation, grasping the paper back from Kenzi's hand, he appeared to be wearing a soft grin, but his eyebrow soon rose and he knew that he had to get down to business. "The list of reports recently detail that a number of teenagers have been killed, on school grounds. There have been about nine incidents within the past few weeks."

"How do you know it's Fae activity? Couldn't it be some manic human on the loose?" The valkyrie was getting down to the questions already as she brought her arms in a neat fold across her chest. "What evidence have we got?"

Allowing the two detectives to talk, Kenzi had to admit that she was impressed with the way that the blonde could suddenly get herself into the zone of things. One minute she was playful and the next, completely serious.

The male detective had expected that more information would be needed, so he twisted his body and pointed down to one of the pictures on display across the surface of the table. "Believe me, we're dealing with a Fae; very powerful, very old. It's called a Cor Devoratrix."

"A Cor what?" Kenzi seemed to have some trouble keeping up with the foreign tongue that was used.

So, Dyson expanded, "It's Latin for-"

"Heart devourer," Tamsin interrupted as she took a closer inspection of the photographs. She knew that she was right, but seeing the gaping holes in the chests of the teenagers simply certified it further, "I've only heard of their kind through reputation; never seen one. Not much is known about them, other than the fact that they seem to survive by eating the cardiac muscle. I don't know what purpose it's for though."

"Okay, wow, wow, lets back it up a step here, there's some creep out there that eats hearts? And you know Latin?" Kenzi only picked up on two points apparently. She made an attempt to look at the photos herself, but it made her feel squeamish, so she gave up as soon as she caught the first glimpse.

The blonde tilted her head, eying the girl with sophistication. "I've been around, there are a lot of things I know." She answered mysteriously before shifting her sights back over to the male. "So, what else do we have to go on?"

"In reality? Nothing." Dyson huffed in a small sigh as he brought his hand to rub against the back of his head, "This Fae could be anywhere, anyone. We have no idea what it looks like, as you said they are pretty much a mystery to the dark and light. It could be a student, a parent, a resident. The only lead we have is that it's victims are teenagers, all of which attended the local high school in a quaint little town, it's about a day's ride from here."

Tamsin was frowning as she perched herself onto the edge of the desk, "So, why don't we just go into the building, guns blazing? We find the bastard and put it down for good. In fact, I'll rip it's heart out, just to give it a taste of it's own medicine."

"I'd be up for that too, but we can't just charge into public grounds locked and loaded." The male tried to be reasoning, even though he wished that he could stick to his partner's brutal plan. "There are too many innocents around."

Kenzi puffed her cheeks, looking between the two adults. And when an idea suddenly clicked into her mind she sprung to an energized stance. "Oh! You guys are the law, can't you just do some CSI type investigation on the grounds?"

"Again, negative," the shifter commented, looking across to see the small pout that escaped the younger girl, "it'll be too risky. This Fae will be most guarded around the law," Dyson's voice sounded as strict as always, but it did soften towards the end, "I did have one plan in mind though."

The valkyrie's brow was quick to raise, but she kept her temper down. "If you already had a plan then why wait? You could have told us from the beginning, it would've saved a lot of time, partner."

"Well, call it a last resort, trust me when I say it's not something that is your style Tamsin."

"Great, I love the sound of it already," the blonde shook her head and then opted for the other detective to continue, "tell me what you've got so far."

For a change, Dyson looked as though he was trying to bite back a smirk. "I need you to go to this town, undercover. It just so happens that there is a vacancy for a teacher at the school. You need to take the position and work from the inside."

"What?" Tamsin's jaw nearly dropped, her face flashing pale in horror already. "This is a very lame ass joke, fangs."

"Do you really think I would pull a prank on you about this? I'm serious Tamsin."

"Why me?"

"We need someone experienced. I have faith in Bo, but this Fae might be out of her league. You are physically more capable."

"At least you've finally come around about that," the valkyrie stated, but in the next second she pushed onto another point, "and what about you? What's your excuse?"

The male shifter took a seat down onto the wooden chair again, shrugging his shoulders as innocently as he could. "I would've, but when I scouted the area, I sensed the vague essence of Skunk Ape. We need to face the facts, you are the one for this job."

"My luck just gets worse." Tamsin brought her hand to rest against her forehead. She closed her eyes and exhaled a slow breath, trying to comprehend what was being asked of her. "I don't do well with things that involve strange teenagers... or random people."

"Well, that brings us to the next part of the plan." Dyson said as quickly as he could, and in doing to, he made sure to avoid the sudden and cold glare that his partner had shot across to him.

"What 'next' part?" Tamsin wasn't thrilled with the initial idea at hand, so it was doubtful that she was going to jump up and down in eager joy at the rest. She didn't particularly feel a great need to commit herself to resolving this problem, it was a well known fact that she didn't get along with a lot of forms of life in this world. Being stuck in a high school was a nightmare for her.

The male detective had known as much, fortunately, hence why he now held a better air of confidence about him, "this isn't the first time that mayhem has gone down in a school or the surrounding town. There was a case similar to this a couple of years ago-"

"Right! Dude, I remember that." Kenzi interrupted out of nowhere, earning her a glance from the other two. She quickly quieted down again, but not before uttering lowly to herself, "some bimbo insulted my boots."

"-as I was saying," Dyson attempted to pick up where he left off, dragging his sights back to his unamused partner, "Kenzi is going to have to go undercover with you. Lets face it, you don't get on with Bo and you're going to need someone to help you out."

Now, the blonde truly was back to her usual point of frustration, "you really are serious about this, aren't you?"

"Absolutely. It's a lot to ask, I know, but given your track record recently, you've shown that you can do the impossible."

"We'll do it!" Kenzi suddenly announced, an aura of glee and excitement about her, "I'll be the Watson to Tamsin's Sherlock, it'll be perfect!"

The valkyrie was seemingly being roped into this new problem without verbally consenting to it. Her partner held faith in her, which was always going to feed into her ego, making her more likely to agree. And perhaps it would do her some good to take her mind off of the succubus. "Fine, I'll play the dutiful teacher in some applepie town, anything to keep the peace," she added through a mumble.

Kenzi was listening and nodding along, flashing between looking at the two figures in front of her, "so what part do I play D-man? The rebellious student? The marvelous sidekick? An assassin in the shadows?"

"Actually," the male began, humorously, "you are going to be the stubborn daughter."

Suddenly, both of the females were hollering the same syllable: "What!?"

Dyson had expected as much, therefore, his expression was unchanged. A light grin sat upon his lips, "if you want to keep low suspicions then you have to pretend to be related. Two newcomers suddenly showing up at the same time might forewarn the Fae, but if you are family it won't draw as much attention."

Of the two, Tamsin looked as though she was suffering the most. The idea of her acting as both a mother and a teacher was unthinkable. She couldn't see herself winning the award for worthy parent. "I hate to admit it, but that does make sense. So, tell me, does my beloved daughter attend the school?" She asked while she took a moment to look across to the smaller female standing next to her.

Why did the girl always have to wear a smile of mischief? It was as though she was more thrilled about going on an adventure than anything else in the world. A remarkable and rare trait, no?

"Would I have it any other way? Kenzi has acted as a student before, so her experience will come in handy," Dyson answered, taking a short pause; he then continued, "while you are busy teaching, she can snoop around and try to figure out what some of the other teenagers know."

Tamsin had to take a deep breath, letting all of this sudden and confusing knowledge sink into her head. She closed her eyes and raised her hand, rubbing her fingers against her temple. "Okay, so lets just recap here. Some crazy Fae is killing off kids, so you want me and Kenzi to go undercover in this town - specifically, the high school - so that we can try to figure out where is it? Or rather, who it is?"

"Yes," Dyson confirmed, confidently, "I've already told you that this Fae could be anyone, but it preys on the younger humans, so starting at the school is our best bet."

"Fair enough, now, my next question. You said that this town is quite a distance away, what if it takes a while for us to crack this case? Tell me the place has a decent motel?"

"I reckon it will take longer than a day for you to solve this thing, the accommodation has been worked out. I've pulled a few strings and taken out a lease on a suburban house for you both, y'know, for that family feel." At the end of the male's answer he pulled the set of keys from his pocket and was about to hand them across to the valkyrie, only, Kenzi had snatched them as quick as she could.

Again, the girl appeared to be pretty ecstatic about this as she twirled the small keychain around her index finger. "Oh my god, secret identities and a sweet pad? Do we get walkie-talkies? Or codenames? OH! Or how about nifty gadgets, like James Bond?"

"Kenzi," Tamsin tried to keep the younger female calm.

"Can I have a watch that shoots lasers?"

"Kenzi!" Again, the blonde called out, bringing her hand up to pat the girl on the shoulder in order to put a halt to her child-like rambling. "We're not going to have some ridiculous codenames, that would be far to embarrassing...but a laser watch does sound neat." Ironically, she was now the one tipping her head to the side in thought, as though she wished the item was something she currently possessed - or that existed. However, she quickly placed her attention back onto the main topic, "right, when do we get this show on the road?"

Dyson gave a fleeting glance to the clock on the wall behind him, and then he drew his focus back to his friends, "as soon as you can."

"Hell, I'm ready to leave this very moment, come on kid, lets get going." Tamsin took a hold of the Russian girls arm and began to lead over to the door, well and truly prepared to leave. There was only one 'quaint town' that she knew of that would take at least a day of traveling to get to, which explained why she was confident enough to leave without asking anymore questions.

"Be careful, both of you. This mission might seem fun, but it's not to be taken lightly." The males words were known to be acknowledged when he saw the speedy wave that Kenzi had thrown over her shoulder, but by the look of things she was purely set on this new case that she was involved in. Then again, it was typical that something like this would be right up her alley.

The two females were walking along the corridor, equally more than willing to discuss everything that they had been told - after all, this was going to be quite an experience for them to bond over. Tamsin was preparing to come up with a safely structured plan for them, but alas, her words were cut short, her eyes instantly snapping to look forward. She couldn't explain why her actions were so automatic like that, it was just a sense that tingled in her for no apparent reason.

Yet, the 'reason' became clearer than day itself when she happened to notice that - turning around the corner - was the succubus. There and then it just made perfect clarity as to why she would pick up on something like that. Obviously there was a part of herself that was perpetually linked to knowing when she and the brunette were in the same vicinity. It sure as hell explained why her heart rate had been drumming faster for no cause. Her steps came to a stop, much like the other girl's had also done now that she had attuned into the fact that her best friend was in range. A range that was closing more and more distance. Bo lacked her natural sense of cheerfulness, making her look unusually saddened as she came to stop across from the other two. "Kenzi, there you are. I wondered where you had gotten off to."

Even the words to fall from her lips had a sort of pained softness to them, as if she was trying hard to keep up a normal front. The cause for the distress probably became lucid when she drew her sights to look upon the blonde. She was certain that Tamsin would have swung a punch, or at least done something, but she didn't. It left an atmosphere of increasing tension amidst the three, so she broke it first, "Hey."

"Hey," the valkyrie responded with the same greeting, her voice being unreadable: blank. She kept her gaze onto the brunette, physically unable to look elsewhere.

"Can we... can I talk to you for a moment?" Bo asked, trying with all her might to restrain the desperation in her tone.

Tamsin could have walked into her usual dumb trap of mercy and accepted, but she relied on some inner strength and masterfully sported up a smirk instead, "I'd love to babe, but I'm afraid not."

How did she possess sudden defiance? Even a seeress couldn't call that one. Perhaps she was able to cut herself away to a safer distance more effectively than she had given herself credit for.

She stepped forward, confidently, proving the hard truth of her denial. Before passing Bo completely, she made sure to brush against her shoulder, firm enough to make the movement known. And close enough so that she could intone, "I've got a life to get on with."

Bo's eyes were near to closing when she felt the valkyrie's warm breath rebounding down the side of her neck. She deserved the brush off, she knew that much, but a part of her hadn't expected it. In the past, when she had hurt the blonde, she knew she could still fix the mess, given the chance. Only this time, she wasn't given the chance. As a hasty last resort, she had turned slightly, reaching out to grab at the valkyrie's wrist. "Please."

Well, well, Tamsin had been waiting for that endearing word to crop back up. It was her usual kryptonite, wasn't it?

No, she wouldn't fall down into the clutches of that old circumstance. Lauren and Bo had made a clear and detailed scene this morning, and she couldn't erase any section of the conversation from her mind. All she had to do was reflect over the phrase 'this was just a feed', and then she got herself worked up enough that she could easily snap. "Sorry, my sweet thing. I can't, I'm busy," Tamsin's reply was, again, dismissive and sultry as she kept up with her haughty smirk, "if you wouldn't mind letting my wrist go, otherwise, I will be forced to retaliate."

The warning couldn't have been more plain. Whether the detective would have acted on it or not was another story because as soon as she saw the shift of confusion in the succubus, she yanked her forearm free in one mighty pull. At least now she didn't have to fear about her bluff being called. Her eyes were on Bo's.

And Bo's were on hers.

The atmosphere was never relaxed when they were caught in a staring contest. Normally it either led to an argument, or very unbound sex.

The valkyrie didn't stick around long enough to find out what it would lead to this time, she gave the succubus the 'once over' with her robust irises and then twisted away so that she could proceed down the corridor. Of course, when departing, she didn't forget to call back, "I'll wait outside for you Kenzi."

With that, she left no time inbetween and march along the hallway. Once out of sight, she had more or less dropped the smarmy grin and let her hollowness catch back up with her again.

Since the two friends were left in the empty hallway, Kenzi felt as though a good ear bashing was needed in regards to everything that had gone on. "Well done, smooth pants. I thought people ran to you, not from you."

Bo didn't approve of the blunt comment, but she didn't disregard it either, instead, she partially agreed through a small huff, "I suppose there is a first time for everything."

"Uh huh. Where is your more boring half?" The Russian's reference was to none other than the absent doctor.

Strangely, the succubus didn't appear as enlightened as she normally would have been at the mention of her girlfriend. "Lauren has decided to give our relationship a 'cool off' for a while, whatever the hell that means."

"Thank the seven heavens for that!" Kenzi couldn't stop her applause from running free.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry BoBo, but you can be such a ditz sometimes."

"I say again, excuse me?" The succubus was narrowing her eyes, wondering what her friend was trying to push at with her less than flattering words.

"You've been too focused on your lurve with the doctor that you haven't even realized that the perfect woman has been standing right in front of you the entire time."

"The perfect woman?" Bo's brow rose quickly, her mind only setting onto one person in particular, "Tamsin? No, no way. She's-"

"-the first person you thought of!" Kenzi pointed her index finger forward in an act of immediate victory. "Ah ha!"

The brunette was thrown off by how the younger girl was acting so she scrunched her nose and took a hold of her wrist, guiding it down. "You think that Tamsin - an uptight, stubborn and clashy valkyrie - is the perfect woman for me?"

"Hellz yeah, I don't think, I know," the girl corrected in a lecturing voice, allowing her arm to rest down by her side again, "you have been taking her out for one hell of a torture ride."

"Oh, don't be ridiculous. She isn't the type to care for others. And I'm sure she considers everything between us as purely physical. She gives me Chi, I give her pleasure."

"That's because you aren't paying attention. It's more than that. Haven't you noticed that she has been picking up all of your pieces? She keeps saving us Bo. She keeps saving you. Whenever something goes wrong with Lauren you use her for comfort - and she lets you, every time, even though you discard her in the morning."

Bo was somewhat taken aback, her lips parting once more, "I'm not using her, I'm-"

"Yes you are," Kenzi protested in a light groan, "I know that you get hurt and you need something to fix you, but Tamsin is more than a personal first aid kit. She really cares for you."

"I-"

"She fights for you."

"I know but-"

"And she rescues you."

"Can I please just-"

"She breaks her heart for you!"

"Kenzi!" Bo had to take a light hold of her friend's shoulders, too overwhelmed by everything that was being said. It made her head spin. Maybe she did believe, somewhere, that the valkyrie cared for her. But she thought that was just a Fae-to-Fae thing. Had she been too blind to even acknowledge that the blonde had been there for her more than anyone else over these past three days? She had been too caught up in her own affairs with Lauren that she didn't even stop to notice that other heart that she kept walking over.

"I'm sorry, I might've gotten a little carried away there, but it's all true." Kenzi wouldn't erase anything that she said. She just relayed the facts as they came. She had no reason to lie to the same woman that had become a sister to her in this life.

"If she cares about me, like you say, then why hasn't she said anything?"

"Uh, hello, you are WITH Lauren. She cares about you so much that she is willing to bury her own feelings so that you can be happy. God, even a martian from outer space could see that."

The succubus wasn't giving a reaction as quickly she should have which only proved that she was struggling to let everything sink in. Her stance was limp, her arms hanging loosely down by her sides. "I never meant to hurt her, I just... I didn't want to lose Lauren. I've only just gotten her back and now everything is a mess again."

"It doesn't have to be a mess. You should quit banging the doctor and settle with the valkyrie. You could be happy with her. Don't get me wrong, Lauren is nice and all, but the two of you haven't been fine in a long time."

"Which is my fault because I keep screwing up on a daily basis," Bo threw her hands up in defeat, stepping aside to lurch with her back against the wall, "I don't see why anyone would even want to be with me. I try to do the right thing and everyone else gets hurt by the choices I make."

Kenzi's eyebrows knitted sympathetically as she moved forward so that she could continue to stand opposite from her friend. "You are good BoBo, you're a little slow, but good."

"And Tamsin isn't, which sets us worlds apart."

"Just because she isn't good to the rest of the world doesn't mean that she wouldn't be good for you."

"But I can't get through to her, I've tried to get past those walls of hers Kenz, and let me tell you it is not easy. I want her to let me all the way in."

The younger girl could understand that it wasn't a pleasant situation for the succubus or valkyrie to be in. "Can you blame her? It's hard to let someone in when they love another."

Bo sighed and watched her feet, beginning to feel like a child who was being scolded by a parent. She had never expected that Kenzi of all people who be standing here, defending the detective, but life was just throwing surprises from here, there and everywhere lately. "You're right, I have been selfish around her. I know it's shallow but I just... I do want her all to myself."

"Really?" Kenzi's ears perked, several ideas already running through her genius little mind, "so what you're saying is that you would get mega jealous if someone else tried to win her over?"

"Like I said, shallow right?"

"Well, yes, but it's understandable. She is quite the catch, I bet dozens of people would kill each other to get a chance with her."

"Mmm hmm, and then I'd kill those dozens of people to make sure they didn't get a chance." Bo might of came of a little cold at the end of her words. She wouldn't actually take someone's life for petty reasons, such as envy, but she did hold a lot of truth in the fact that she couldn't stomach the thought of some stranger with their hands all over the valkyrie.

"Wow, so you're like freaky-possessive over her? That's a little greedy, wonder woman. You can have sex with Lauren AND you still want to keep Tamsin as your hopeless prisoner of love?"

"It's wrong of me, I can see that, but there is just something about her Kenzi. Something that I can't let go of. Not that it matters, after this morning I've screwed everything up. With Lauren and with Tamsin."

"Well, just give it some time." Kenzi piped up in a mysterious way, but at the word 'time' she recalled that she was also had something to get back to. "Look, BoBo, I don't have time to stay and chat right now, but how can I put this any simpler?" She took a light hold of the succubus by the shoulders and began to give her a good, albeit, steady shake. "Tamsin is crazy for you! So stop breaking her heart and start fixing it!"

When she felt that her friend was too dazed by the movement, she stopped, feeling as if she had made her point clear enough. "Now, I love you and I'll see you when I get back."

With all said and done, the Russian girl had pulled away, beginning to make a speedy walk along the same corridor that the detective had departed off in previously. "Oh, by the way, the blonde hottie and I are away on some awesome mission, so we'll probably be back in a couple of days, don't wait up!"

By the time that Bo had managed to come to her senses, she only caught the latter half of what her friend had said. "A mission?" Blinking, she glanced down the hallway, but Kenzi was already gone by the time that she had looked. "Well this is just perfect, no Lauren, no Kenzi... no Tamsin." Pouting to herself, she made a slow and sluggish walk along to the main office. She didn't even try to hide the fact that she was probably suffering from a horrible spree of bad luck. Kenzi, bless her soul, had said a lot of things which the succubus hadn't even considered before. A heart was a fragile thing, and it sounded like she had been holding onto Tamsin's for a very long time. She may not have known how true that was, but she hoped that she would find out. Although, if the blonde was going to be gone for the next few days then it would be a slow and agonizing torture to endure.

Once the succubus had made her way into the main room, where a few other law enforcers were working, she soon set her gaze onto Dyson, seeing that his attention was stuck down onto paperwork, as usual. As she approached him, she tried to wear at least a small smile.

However, the male, instinctively, was the one to speak first, "haven't you and Kenzi gone already?" His voice had been calm, but when he looked across his shoulder, he was stunned to find that he wasn't addressing who he had first assumed. "Bo?" Questioning her presence instantly, he rose from the seat. Similar to before, he now found that he could smell Tamsin's scent all over the brunette. How odd.

"Oh, right, sorry about that. I've decided to borrow Tamsin's shirt. My own one was a little ruined." She came up with a simple excuse; unaware that the valkyrie had used something along the same lines.

Dyson was vastly intelligent, he could pin point what was going on very quickly. The two females must have been intimate last night. He couldn't tell whether they lied about it out of embarrassment, or due to the fact that feelings may have developed. Either way, at least it gave him something to tease his partner about at a later date. "That was lucky."

"Yes, it sure was... she's a... a pretty handy girl," Bo commented sheepishly, running her finger along the top of the table, "just out of curiosity, where is she going?"

It was only natural that the succubus wanted to figure out what this mission was. Other than the fact that she genuinely worried for the safety of both females, she now had a new intent to want to have a conversation with Tamsin.

So, surely if she just happened to pay a surprise visit to the two then she could accomplish her goal?

Well, you guys wanted more Tamsin/Kenzi so I hope I've delivered for you. Now they're both roped into a mission together. XD

Tamsin undercover...as a teacher as well as Kenzi's 'mother' ? I can see a lot of fun between the two of them on this case. And won't it be even more entertaining if our dear Bo ends up paying a visit? ;D

And as for the whole new 'Fae', I just seemed to make the name up from the top of my head. I can't recall if/whether it's been done before or a thing, and if so then WOOPS, apologies. Ah, Cor Devoratrix... at first I thought, what the hell? But then it grew on me. When in doubt, Latin comes in handy, folks. c':

(Thanks for the lovely reviews, you guys are all amazing! c': )

Guest(s) - Well, thank you all for the wonderful comments. It always makes me smile to read your gracious words. It amazes me that you are all still so involved with following the story this far! I'm extremely grateful for that and it seems difficult to even put it across into mere words. x]
I'm glad that you all like the Kenzi/Tamsin interactions. The scenes are such a blast to write because the two of them can just go on and on about everything.
If anyone is capable of knocking some sense into our dearest Bo then it is going to be Kenzi! She will give her a mouthful of wise words. c':
I also agree that I believe Tamsin is a much better match for Bo; she is able to protect her and care for her unconditionally, which is a beautiful and strong trait to find in a person.

And yes, I love these constant Buffy references to, the show is awesome, so I take that as very high praise indeed. A Halloween prank sounds awesome to me! The time is drawing nearer after all. ;D
Kenzi is definitely on team Valkubus, mainly because Tamsin actually seems to care about her, hence why she has been more than willing to save her life twice now. The two of them have certainly bonded over it and I think their friendship will just continue to blossom.

summersunshine8 - Ah merci my darling, I'm thrilled to hear that you like the Kenzi/Tamsin stuff, I'll be sure to write loads more. ;D

shannon1419 - Well, what can I say, perhaps Kenzi might want to set things up in a way so that Bo will have no choice but to become jealous if someone else tries to approach Tamsin. ;)

Khrat9 - Awh, well, rest assured, I'd have given you a handkerchief. (';
I'm glad that you are able to see things from Bo's side, when I write from her point of view, I try to sympathize with her, because it can't be easy for her, coming to this sort of crossroads in her love life. When Tamsin left, I think it really hit home with her this time.
Haha, thanks! I love that you enjoyed the Harry Potter reference, I couldn't resist throwing it in there. It just sounded like something that Kenzi would have to say. xD
Hm, a very good question. Maybe Tamsin is running from being a hero because she doesn't want the responsibility of having to save everyone. Perhaps it's a burden she fears because she would never want to fail. Therefore, but denying it, she doesn't have a 'role of virtue' that she has to live up to. She can make mistakes and get angry, which most superficial heroes never do. They are expected to be perfect, maybe someone will open her eyes though. But I do think that she considers Bo a true saint and savior.
To me, personally, a hero is someone who can save the day without hopes of a reward. Someone that doesn't give up and defies the odds. A person who can care for others and rise to defend a person they love without a second thought. Sometimes it isn't the 'nicest' person that makes a hero, it is the person who pours their heart into making life a good place for those they care for. And what would your definition of a hero be? :'D

Snagam80 - Exactamuno! When in doubt, Kenzi is always there to brighten the mood!
I'm giving you front row seats and as much unlimited Thieverie as I can. ;D
Kenzi and Tamsin are very entertaining together, hence why I couldn't resist writing them both into some new crazy mission! I always keep my promises, and I'm blessed to hear that you enjoy reading about those two crazy girls and their wacky adventures. There will be plenty more to come, I can assure you of that! Kenzi is my secret weapon. x]

Dark Lord Daishi - I think that Kenzi has finally given Bo the wake up call that everyone has been hoping for. xD
Well, you never know, Bo might have to prove herself by being the hero this time... (;

xoDollyDeexo - Tam-Tam is having one hell of a hard time, isn't she? But she's tough, she'll cope. And if not, Kenzi will be there to support her! c':

petronguacomole - Why hello there! Thank you so much for the lovely review. And I must admit I have to agree, my writing does have it's flaws, such as the flow etc. It's the trade off for frequent updates, I just give it the quick once over and then post it. A shot in the dark, really. But I'm always more than willing to take on any tips/advice, there's always room for improvement after all. ;D
But all in all, thank you again, it's wonderful to know that you are enjoying this fic, it only motivates me to write more and more! You're awesome! x]

ValkuVauseQueen - I know, I know, I'm horrible when it comes to torturing Valkubus! c;
But, on the up side, Kenzi has finally laid down the law with Bo; so hopefully she has actually opened her eyes to how much our favorite valkyrie is in love with her.
Tamsin decking Bo, huh? I'll have to keep that one in mind. xD

Shenaynay187 - Well, Tamsin does make a pretty tough punching bag. She's a hard woman to break, but I love how supportive you are to her as a character. I think you're right about the karma beginning to turn on Bo. xD
Ah, I take it you're not a fan of Lauren either then? ;D
All in all, thank you for taking the time to read and review, I appreciate it! x
