Kenzi let the car idle and opened the passenger door as she headed down the alley.
"Uhm, How are we gonna do this?" Kenzi asked.
"I've been thinking about that." Bo pulled out a tarp from under the wood crates on the other side of the alley and wrapped it around Erin.
"That works."
They slid Erin in the back seat and Bo jumped in the driver's seat, Kenzi hesitated.
"Kenzi I'm fine. Besides the lab isn't a far drive from here, get in."
Kenzi seemed satisfied at this and jumped in. As she buckled up she peeked back at Erin, "So you're sure this is her?"
"Positive." Bo said glancing in the rear view mirror.
"How can you tell?" "Aside from the freaky contact life saving thing." Kenzi added.
"I don't know… I just do."
"What if she's… like, bad."
Bo tightened her grip on the wheel, "It won't be like that this time."
This response made Kenzi decide to drop it.
The drive to the lab was as short as predicted and they pulled in and parked around 20 minutes later.
Kenzi opened the door and Bo walked in with Erin wrapped in tarp and cradled in her arms.
Lauren's back was turned, face in a microscope. Nobody else was around – she was in after hours. This wasn't surprising.
"Lauren." Bo said to her back starting to shake some from the weight of the teen in her arms.
Bo couldn't help thinking that this was a result from their earlier contact, whatever that was; a hundred or so pound kid shouldn't be so difficult for her to carry.
Lauren turned and saw Bo struggling with what looked like a body in a tarp – Kenzi standing to the side out of the way.
"Jesus Bo, I thought you were gaining control." Lauren sighed, slightly disappointed.
Bo could tell she was in fact still annoyed about her evasive measures in the past few weeks, but she wasn't in the mood for long explanations.
"This is my sister not a corpse I woke up with. I need your help, I think there's something wrong with her." Bo placed her on a bed next to the entrance, letting the tarp fall open.
"Sister?" Lauren asked, baffled.
"Stories later." Bo said slightly exasperated and Lauren nodded.
"Wait!" Bo stressed when she saw that Lauren was about to check her pulse, but she said it too late her hand was on the bare skin of her wrist.
"What?" Lauren said, surprised by Bo's tone.
"I guess it's safe to say it only works on Fae," Kenzi told Bo, "It didn't affect the guys in the alley either and I think it's safe to say that they were human."
Kenzi walked over and lowered the tip of her finger onto Erin's exposed hand.
Nothing happened. "Yup, she passed the human test."
"What are you two talking about? And what is 'it'?" Lauren said feeling completely uninformed.
"She must be Fae but I've never heard of that kind of thing happening. When We found her I touched her skin and well… I wasn't entirely there for that part." Bo looked to Kenzi.
"Oh right, so Erin's all beat up kay – swear she was about to bite it, so Bo walks over and…"
Kenzi attempted to reenact the rest of the scene from the alley by gently poking Erin's cheek and yelling, "BANG! Then Erin started screaming and Bo,"
Then she made a motion with her hands of a person falling over accompanied by sound effects.
"Out like lights the pair of them. And now she's fit as a fiddle." Kenzi smirked, impressed with her detailed reconstruction.
"Are you okay?" Lauren asked Bo looking at her with new eyes.
"I don't know, I'm not hurt but I feel… wrong." Bo looked away. She couldn't explain it and felt embarrassed trying.
"Wrong?" Lauren pressed in a very doctor-y manner.
"Empty? Maybe tired." Bo tried out the words to see if they fit. They didn't.
"Are you hungry?" Lauren tried to help.
"No, that's the thing: the emptiness, it's not like I'm hungry – It's more like it was never there or not there... I don't know. It just feels wrong." Bo shied away from the words; still not sure she was explaining it as well as she could.
"Sit down I'll run some tests." Lauren eyed the chair she just got up from.
Bo walked over to the chair and dragged it closer to Erin's bed. Lauren continued to inspect her.
"It's been a long day Kenzi. You can go home, I'll take a cab there soon."
"Fine. Call at least though if you're going to stay alright?" Kenzi pleaded.
"Of course, don't wait up." Bo smiled and Kenzi returned it as she left.
