A/N: This part has been running around my head all day, so I had to write it. I love hearing what you guys think, so be sure to drop me a review. Like a few of you have asked for, this part is longer than most, hope it doesn't drag. Read, review and enjoy!

Chapter Twelve.

I was lying awake thinking about everything the Doc had said. I'd never even heard of Vampires bonding with humans. I had read stories when I was younger about Vampires becoming infatuated with certain humans, which never ended well for the Vampires. It always lead to a dusty end.

The light from my laptop lit up the entire room, letting me know that I had an incoming message. I dragged myself out of bed and over to my desk. I had a new email. Opening it I frowned. There were pictures of Tamsin with Evony, Vicktor and Acacia. The pictures with Evony and Acacia weren't that surprising, she had worked for Biotech after all, the pictures with Vicktor were a little more alarming. The subject line that came with the pictures bothered me. It said 'Looks like your precious human has something to hide after all'. All the pictures were date stamped, but I didn't need to look at the date to see that a couple of them were recent, I could see the bandage on Tamsin's wrist. So since the night when she had made me feed off her at the docks she had met up with all three if them at separate times. I didn't recognise the email address, and as good as I was with technology I couldn't trace it, but I knew someone who could. I threw on a pair of sweatpants and my hoodie and headed to the surveillance room, Kenzi and Chris had the nightshift.

"I need you guys to do something for me." I said, walking into the room.

"Bo you should be asleep," Chris said, "how do you expect your neck to heal if you don't sleep."

"I get that shit from Trick," I said to him, "I don't need it from you too..."

"What can we do for you, oh gorgeous friend of mine?" Kenzi asked.

"Someone let you at the sugar again?" I asked with a smile, "I just got an email, pictures of Tamsin meeting with a couple of people from Biotech, and with Vicktor... They are recent, as in the last week recent... Can you trace the IP address and find out where the emails came from?"

"Easy." Kenzi said with a grin.

"And illegal without a court order." Chris said.

Both Kenzi and I looked at him with a look on our faces that said 'and?' he looked between both of us and sighed.

"Fine," he said with a little smile, "never could say no to you two."

"You're a star Chris," I said with a smile, "all the pictures are time stamped..."

I logged into my email on the laptop bringing up the pictures.

"Which can easily be added later." Kenzi said.

"The wound on her wrist proves it was in the last week..." I replied.

"Can't deny that babe," Kenzi said, "so what are we thinking here, Detective Hotness is still playing you?"

"I don't know Kenz..." I replied.

"This IP address looks familiar..." Kenzi said, "Oh shit..."

"What?" I asked.

"The email was sent from here..." Kenzi replied, "The control room to be exact..."

"Which means it has to be Dyson or Lauren." Chris said, "They're the only others on duty tonight..."

"Doesn't seem like a Lauren thing." Kenzi said.

"I don't know," I said, sitting down, "I mean she's been trying to convince me that there's something not right with Tamsin pretty much since she arrived... And Dyson would much rather drop the pictures into my lap in a very public setting just to get a reaction out of me..."

"Good point..." Kenzi said, "but surely Lauren wouldn't email you the pictures, she would hand them to you."

"Maybe..." I replied.

"Maybe she figured email was the safest way," Chris said, "I mean we all know how defensive Bo gets when it comes to Tamsin."

"I don't get defen...sive." I said with a little laugh and a shake of the head, "yeah okay..."

"You've got it bad girl," Kenzi said, "do you like legitimately love this girl or what?"

"Love..." I said, thinking it through, "I... Don't know. I mean, she's human..."

"I don't think she is..." said a voice from the doorway.

"What?!" I asked, turning to face the Doc.

"Her blood test just doesn't add up," he replied, "I've spent the last week going over and over it. The readings are all over the place. They are the kind of readings i would expect to get from someone..."

"Gifted..." I said, finishing his sentence, "but she's not, she's human."

"Are you sure about that?" he asked.

"I can sense gifted people," I replied, "I can even usually tell you what their gift is. With her I get nothing."

"Does she smell human?" Kenzi asked.

"What?" I asked in reply.

"You said you can sense gifted people, you can also smell humans," she said, "Does Tamsin smell human? You fell asleep on her in the cabin for god's sake, you should know if she smells human."

"She does but she doesn't," I said, "I didn't really pay too much attention to what she smelt like when I fell asleep on her…"

"That's something you always notice Bo…" Kenzi said, "This girl must be really affecting you for you not to notice."

"I'm comfortable around her…" I replied.

"Which in itself is odd." Chris said.

At that moment Dyson and Lauren walked in, I needed to know which of them had sent the email, so I didn't bother closing the window on the laptop that we were all standing in front of.

"What's that you're looking at?" Dyson asked, walking over to us.

"An email I got about an hour ago…" I said, "Just some pictures that someone obviously thought I needed to see."

"Isn't that the cute detective you have a thing for?" he asked.

"Tamsin," I said, "yeah…"

"What the hell is she doing meeting with Vicktor?" he asked, his obvious shock showing on his face.

"No idea…" I replied.

I turned to look at Lauren, she was just standing there looking at us, her face was pretty hard to read which was unusual for Lauren, normally I could read her like a book.

"You couldn't just bring these to me and show me?" I asked her.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." She replied.

I closed the laptop, before walking towards the door, stopping next to Lauren.

"When I think of people who would lie to me," I said, "I never expected your name to be on that list…"

With that I walked out of the room. I heard Lauren call after me.

"Bo, wait…" she said.

I stopped and turned around, she walked over to me, a conflicted look on her face.

"I wanted to bring them to you." She said.

"So why didn't you?" I asked, "You know me better than probably anyone Lauren, I didn't expect you to keep anything from me…"

"The Council asked me to look into Tamsin," she said, "they want to know where she comes from, who she works for, and just what she wants… so I followed her. I wanted to come to you about it, but…"

"But what?" I asked.

"But I knew how much it was going to hurt you," she said, "I know that this girl means a lot to you, I know that you've let her in…I know that you trust her more than most people… I didn't want to be the one to bring all that crashing down around you Bo."

"So you thought that the best thing to do was send me and email with the pictures attached," I replied, getting angry, "you didn't think that I would take it better if you actually brought them to me?"

"I…" she started to say, "I didn't know how to."

"Well sending me and anonymous email, from the control room, probably wasn't the best idea you've had." I said, turning to walk away, "I really did expect more from you Lauren."

Instead of going back to my room I went and sat outside in the grounds, it was coming up to 4am. It was a pretty nice night, not too cold, I sat out by the lake thinking. I really didn't think that Tamsin was still playing me, I honestly hadn't thought I was stupid enough not to see it. I couldn't help but think, after everything that had happened in the last few weeks that she was still just doing a job, and that bothered me, a lot.

x-x

I was woken up early the next morning, there had been another multiple murder. Again the address was one I had gone to previously. It was playing out just as it had 6 years ago, the murders taking place on exactly the same day, at exactly the same time, and at the exact same houses that they had happened at previously. With three crime scenes we could now officially call it a pattern, which meant that we could start planning for the next one, there would be a next one, I knew that without question. Dave was waiting outside the house as I walked up the path.

"Let me guess," I said, "two parents, 3 kids, took the youngest?"

He nodded.

"Which means the next murder should take place in two days at 48 Michelson Street…" I said, "You might want to send some guys over there now… move the family somewhere else…"

"That's a good idea," he said, "Tamsin is inside, just to give you a heads up."

"Thanks…" I replied.

I walked into the house and went straight upstairs. Tamsin was processing one of the rooms. I stood in the doorway watching her, in my mind I couldn't stop going over the pictures I had seen the previous night. She had betrayed me, lied to me, even if she wasn't playing both sides she had still lied to me.

"This one isn't so bad…" I said.

She nearly jumped out of her skin.

"Jesus Bo," she said, turning to face me, "you scared me."

"Sorry…" I said, "I was simply saying that the blood here isn't so…"

I stopped, I could sense something else in the room.

"What is it?" she asked, standing up.

"Move away from the closet Tamsin…" I replied.

She stepped back from the closet, I walked over to it. I could sense something in the closet, I could hear a heartbeat.

"Seriously Bo," she said, "What is it?"

"I don't know…" I said, "I can hear a heartbeat."

I opened the door, there in the shadows at the back of the closet was a child, no older than 6 years old. He looked terrified as he cowered away from the light. His eyes were dark with a tinge of red.

"Hey there…" I said, crouching down in front of the closet.

"Bo…" Tamsin said, "His eyes…"

"I know…" I said, without taking my eyes off the kid, "You okay in there?"

"There was screaming…" he said, "I hid here… Jason usually comes to get me when I hide…"

"Jason your brother?" I asked.

He nodded.

"I don't think he's coming this time…" I said, "What's your name?"

"Jacob," he said, "but everyone calls me Jake…"

"Hey there Jake," I said with a smile, "my name is Bo, it's nice to meet you…Do you want to come out of there?"

He looked past me to Tamsin, I turned to look at her, she was still focusing on his eyes.

"That's Tamsin," I said to Jake, "she's really not as scary as she looks."

The kid laughed a little, I held my hand out to him, and he took it and slowly climbed out of the closet.

"That's better," I said, "let's get you out of here…"

He nodded.

"Will you do something for me?" I asked, he nodded in reply, "when I tell you to close your eyes, you have to do it, okay?"

"They're gone aren't they…" he said, "He took them…"

"Who took them?" I asked.

"The creepy guy with the big teeth…" Jake replied.

"Let's get you downstairs…" I said with a little smile.

I stood up, Jake took my hand and I took him out of the house, when we got to the bottom of the stairs I picked him up and carried him, there was too much blood to for him to avoid by just closing his eyes. As we were walking past the living room he buried his face in my hair.

"You okay there Jake?" I asked.

"The smell…" he replied.

His senses were heightened, it set off alarm bells in my head. I had sensed him, which means he wasn't human, his eyes were red when I opened the closet door, and he could smell the blood. Something wasn't right. I took him outside. Dave looked a little shocked.

"Who's this little guy?" he asked.

"This is Jake," I said, "I found him hiding in the closet upstairs."

I put Jake down.

"Jake, this is my friend Dave," I said, "Do you want to talk to him while I go back inside?"

Jake nodded. I walked back in the house and upstairs, I saw Tamsin holding a piece of paper.

"He's like you…" she said.

"What?" I asked.

"The kid," she replied, "he's like you… a hybrid…"

She held out the piece of paper, I took it and read what was written on it.

If anything happens to us, please make sure that our youngest son Jake is taken to the school on the outskirts of town. He's a special child. We adopted him after my wife found him in a lab where she worked. He's different to other children, there is one other person that we are aware of who is like Jake, which is why you must take him to the school. They'll know what to do.

"If he's like me, what has he been feeding off…?" I said.

A look of realization struck Tamsin. I went downstairs and into the kitchen, Tamsin followed me. There were two fridges, one full of normal everyday things, the other contained something I knew well.

"Isn't that…" Tamsin started to say.

"A synthetic mix…" I said, I picked up one of the pouches of the mix, reading the label I looked at Tamsin, "Biotech LTD…"

"Bo…" she said.

"Don't." I said, "I don't want to hear it…"

I turned to leave the room.

"Bo I had no idea," she said, "you have to believe me."

"I'm finding it hard to believe anything you say right now…" I said, not turning to look at her, I walked out of the room and the house.
