A/N: HOPE ALL IS WELL!
Koskat – You sure you're not a violent person? Just kidding lol Yeah, lucky Lauren…not everyone is loved like that. Who knows how Crystal's brain works. Guess, we'll see what happens. Hopefully Bo can focus on the positive.
Cheekymadom – Yup
Kogaduck – I think in Crystal's mind she was being Lauren's hero & Mr. Lopez was the bad guy just for putting her on the side of the building. But, she's crazy so who knows what how she thinks.
Joannrbb – She'll get hers eventually!
Guest – I was wondering if anyone would comment on that lol…To answer your question…Maybe :P
Basically starting where we left off! Was rushing a bit so, sorry if it has more errors than usual or something & as always, thanks for all the support guys! You guys rock!
R/R & ENJOY!
Bo's POV – 2 Hours Later – Lost Girl Hospital - Break Room
"Bo…luv…why don't ya stop pacing back and forth like a caged animal and tell me why we're in here instead of with Kenzi and your girl in her private room? I mean ya even locked the door with a chair and everything, what's going on, luv?"
I stopped pacing to look at Vex sitting at the small round table as I hoped to find my words…I should be with Lauren right now…But…I need to get this off my chest first before I explode.
I closed the very small distance between us so I could use a low tone so no one overheard us. "I…"
Vex must have seen something in my eyes or something because he silenced me with his finger to pull out a device from his pocket with his other hand, setting it on the table and turning it on.
I gave him a confused and questioning expression with my eyebrows furrowed and a slight frown. He chuckled at my expression as he started to explain what the device is.
"This is your newest toy. I was going to surprise ya with it later but something tells me that we need it now. I know it just looks like a black rolling die with a small blue light but…it's not. Let's say you're in a room with thin walls but you want to have a private conversation…This little device let's you do that. Basically, it's a portable soundproof room. It can cover up to the size of your average living room for up to an hour before it needs recharging and just so you know…this little thing may look like die or dice since I did make two so far. But, they can explode remotely to cover your tracks and stuff like your other toys. So, ya could use them as little bombs too. They wouldn't cause any life threatening injuries but they'd still hurt like a bitch if a person is too close when they pop. So anyway, what's on your mind?"
"I want to break another rule." I told him as I looked him right in the eyes. He studied me head to toe before he said anything with his arms crossed.
"I see…I'm guessing this is your number one rule that you're talking about?" I nodded in confirmation. "She almost killed my fiancée. If anyone deserves to be the exception, its Crystal…Vex…I- I-…I almost lost Lauren. If I wasn't my alter-ego at the time then I know I wouldn't have been able to save her…My emotions would have overwhelmed me and everything…Lau…Lau-ren…sh- sh-e..almo-st di-"
Vex quickly caught me in his arms before I collapsed on the floor as I broke down sobbing uncontrollably with tears that I didn't even realize I was holding back; until now.
"Shh luv, it's okay, the doc's fine. Lauren's fine. Ya saved her and that's all that matters Bo."
"Bu-t wha- wha-t if I was-n't…Wh-at if…I- I should have or..or cou-ld hav-"
"No, Bo. The "What if's, could or would have's" don't matter. The "What if's, could or would have's" did not happen so don't go there. Those irrelevant thoughts are the very reason that you're even thinking about breaking your "Don't do personal kills" rule. Bo, listen to me…Lauren is one of the strongest people I've ever met and at the risk of being smacked by ya and or Kenzi; I have to be honest, Lauren is probably the strongest person I've ever met and probably ever will meet. Why? I'm not gonna lie, it's partly because she's a detective and doctor. Yes, her gifted brain put her on the fast track in life to where she can juggle two extremely demanding careers and have God knows how many other degrees, credentials and achievements. But, her brain isn't what makes her strong. It's her inner strength and sprit that makes her strong. She's got two of the toughest jobs there is and she's still a warm and compassionate person. She knows both sides of you and accepts and loves both sides. Everyday, she sees the worst of humanity and still has a heart of gold. She sees that life isn't black and white and still chooses to see the upside whenever possible. All those things and more are how I know that she's one extremely tough cookie to kill. So, no more tears luv. I promise ya, as strong as she is on the inside and out; she's never going to leave your side. So there's no reason for crazy thoughts and tears. She's alive because of you and she's not going anywhere. So, how about you stop the sobbing tears and we get up to go see your fiancée. I'm sure she's awake by now and wondering where her fiancée is."
I nodded as he slowly got us both to our feet. "…You're right and okay. I have to show you all something anyway." He nodded as he grabbed the portable soundproof device off the table, leaving it activate.
"Okay and before ya ask because ya always do even though ya really don't need to. The EMP gun on the rear end of your bike worked like a charm just like the one on your car does. It killed any electronic device within five blocks for at least thirty minutes and the SS deleted what people got before the bike did its thing. The arrows have self destructed about an hour ago so, we're all good. Oh and as expected, the website has spiked with heavier traffic than usual, which means more…"revenue"…By the way, does the doc know about the website?"
I nodded as we got closer to Lauren's private suite. "Yeah, she knows. I just haven't had a chance to show it to her yet and I'll try to stop asking about the Shadow Assassin appearance; "clean-up" progress."
Vex chuckled, "Ya say that every single time. But, ya ask bout the clean-up process every time. I don't blame ya though. I definitely understand not wanting to leave any hard evidence of the Shadow Assassin's existence lying around."
I smiled at Vex as I was about to open Lauren's door. "Wait luv, here...take this napkin to wipe your face a bit. Do ya want to go to the bathroom to clean up?"
I shook my head no as I took the napkin and wiped my tears stains and sniffles. "No thanks, I just want to be with Lauren. Thank you for fighting through that media circus and stuff that's outside to get here and for holding me while I had a meltdown."
Vex waved me off and shook his head back and forth. "Ya guys are my family, my only family. I literally had no family before I met ya, ya know that and now our family has grown, all thanks to Tamsin and Evony. I'm just sorry I couldn't get here sooner due to the mess outside."
"I'm just glad you got here as soon as you could and you're right about Evony and Tamsin just…don't tell them that." I told him as I opened the door and walked in with him to find both our girls awake in conversation.
"Ya think I'm crazy? The last thing I want is for Evony and Tamsin's egotistical heads to explode by thanking them for bringing us all together." I laughed at Vex's statement as I went to the left side of Lauren's bed and took her hand in mine.
"Are you okay?" I asked as I gave her a quick kiss on the lips. "Mmm…Yes, but I missed you. You weren't here when I woke up, where did you go and were you crying?"
I nodded, "Yes I was, but I'm okay now, I promise…and as for your other question..." I looked around to make eye contact with everyone in the room before I asked Vex a very important question. "Is the soundproof still on?"
He nodded, "Yes, and I think "Shadow Talk" is a good name for it. But anyway, go on with whatever it is ya gotta say."
"After you and Kenzi fell asleep I had to leave so the Shadow Assassin could do some searching and…I found more than expected…" I pulled out the two evidence bags I had in my pockets and placed them on the bed for the three of them to see. Their eyes widened in shock and disbelief.
"The bullet was pretty easy to find. It was embedded into the wall where Lauren was shot. As for the scope…while I was up there for the bullet, I looked around at the rather amazing view through my binoculars and saw the laser scope just lying on the roof Crystal and I were at. It must have broken off her rifle when she was knocked on her ass when I punched her or something. She did have the gun in her hand when I decked her and her fall from my punch was pretty ugly. I doubt that she even realizes her scope is missing because she was and probably still is in shock over what she did...We may not have evidence of her old crimes…yet, yes I'm being hopeful. But anyhow, we sure have evidence of her latest crime now. The 5th precinct can take credit for the evidence find since I rather we handle her, the legal way if possible…Guys, we finally got our first solid step in taking her down."
"Holy…" Lauren breathed in surprise. "Shit…" Kenzi finished Lauren's thought with the same tone.
"Well, its bout bloody time!" I suppressed a laugh, leave it to Vex to break the tension.
