Chapter 21 - They Are LLBFFs: Part I

8:15 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" How come I've never seen you in a cop uniform?" Bo asked. She just had dinner with the Valkyrie at her place, and now they were cleaning the table. Bo rinsed her plate in warm water, and handed it to the blonde to put it in the dishwasher.

" Because I don't like to wear them?" Tamsin said, frowning. She looked at Bo for a second or two, trying to figure out why Bo had asked her that. " Why do you ask?"

" Well..." Bo turned around, pressing her back against the kitchen counter. She slid her hand to the back of Tamsin's waist, pulling the blonde closer to her. " I'm just picturing you in a cop uniform, and it's kinda hot..."

" Oh, cop uniform huh..." Tamsin said after she closed the dishwasher door. She slowly unzipped Bo's jacket, and leaned close.

" Can't a girl have a little fetish?" Bo pulled herself close, but stopped right before their lips met.

" So now not only do you need handcuffs, you need uniforms too? Do you need...emmm.." Tamsin said as she tucked her hands under Bo's tanktop, " Do you also need the baton?"

" Do you need a baton to compensate something...?"

" Oh you didn't just say that, bitch..." Tamsin said, pulling Bo's tanktop off, " I'll prove to you in just a minute, that I don't need a baton to get you off."

" So you are not gonna wear the uniform me?"

" Well, my uniform has been in my closet like forever, and it needs cleaning..."

" Then how about just the hat and the tie..." Bo said as she unbuttoned Tamsin's shirt.

" Hmmm...Then you have to earn it..." Tamsin pressed her lips on Bo's.

They had no further conversation, because both of them were too busy kissing each other.

9:00 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" Shit!" Tamsin cursed after she glanced at the text on her phone.

" Hey...I thought you promised me the cop uniform..." Bo said. There was more teasing than complaining in her tone. She stared at the blonde, who was standing beside the bed reading her text, wearing only her black thong. Bo's eyes fell on her face, and then moved down, as if she was caressing her body.

" I got to go. Some chick was murdered." Tamsin said.

" Hmmm..." Bo checked her phone. Normally Dyson's message would be here by now, but there was none, " Damn, I can't go with you, unless Dyson calls me."

" Yes you can." Tamsin grinned as she pulled up her pants, " Wolfboy took a week off. He should be in England by now. He said he was gonna go visit some of his old cop friends, see if the copy cat Jack the Ripper guy has any connections with the original case."

" Oh." Bo said, nodding, " So...are you gonna take me with you on your case for a whole week? Not worrying about Dyson finding out about us?"

" Sure." Tamsin threw Bo's clothes to her, " Come on, let's go. Dead body's waiting."

9:40 pm - Crime Scene

It was the first time that Bo went to a official police crime scene in Tamsin's car, instead of going separately.

The crime scene was in a park. It was an area where people seldom went. A few police cars were already there, with several people watching.

" What do we have here?" Tamsin asked one of the officers who was already at the scene.

The officer shook his head lightly, and sighed. He was looking down, as if he didn't know what to say. He pointed at the body behind him to Tamsin.

Tamsin and Bo took a glance at the dead body. Both of them couldn't believe their eyes at first, because of the way the body was dumped. It was a female body, fully naked, and sawed in half at her waist. The way she was posed, as if she was not a human being, but a mannequin. Her head was turned to face the direction where people would come into the area, both her arms were up beside her head, and her legs were spread.

" Shit..." Tamsin cursed, and so did Bo. Bo turned her eyes away, so she wouldn't be staring at the wound that was cut on the victim's face. Whoever killed her, had cut along her mouth, making it look like she had a clown smile on her face.

" Who found the body?" Tamsin asked the officer who texted her.

" Over there." The officer pointed at two women standing under a tree, not so far from the victim. Tamsin frowned when she looked at them. Both of them were good looking. The brunette has a casual look, while the blonde looked more elegant. Tamsin noticed her high heels and her fine dress. " Why would someone dressed like that be at a place like this in this time of the night?" Tamsin murmured, her eyebrows furrowed.

" Well, let's go find out." Bo said.

Noticing them coming closer, the brunette walked to them, " Hi, I'm detective Jane Rizzoli. I'm from Boston PD."

" What?" Both Bo and Tamsin exclaimed. They were suprised to learn that the person who found the body was a cop from a city so far away from here.

" Wait a minute, you just happen to be here, and find a body, and you just happen to be a detective?" Tamsin asked her, with her arms crossed in front of her chest.

" No, that's not entirely true. What you've said suggest this is a coincidence. In fact, it's not." The blonde woman stepped up and said. She had a very polite smile on her face. " We believe this murder is related to a case we are working on, and that's why we came here."

" And who the...are you?" Tamsin moved her eyes to the blonde, staring at her. She swallowed her F word back, because somehow it was very hard to say that to those innocent eyes of the blonde.

" My name is Maura Isles. Nice to meet you." Maura smiled again, reaching her hand out. Tamsin didn't shake her hand, but Bo did.

" Oh my, your face is the most symmetric I've ever seen. Fancinating..." Maura said to Bo as she shook her hand lightly. She stared at Bo directly, as if she was totally not aware her stare might make someone uncomfortable.

Tamsin raised her eyebrows, looking at them. Bo froze there, with her hand still in Maura's. She was not sure how should she reply.

" Your face-" Maura pointed at Tamsin as she said, " -is pretty symmetric too."

" Maura!" Jane shot a stare at her, pulling her back a little by gripping her trench coat, " Stop doing whatever it is you are doing right now. You are making people uncomfortable again."

" No I am not." Maura said, with a confused look on her face, " In case you haven't noticed, her facial expression clearly shows that she is curious, instead of uncomfortable."

" Sure. Whatever." Jane said, " Can we please talk some police business with them now?"

10:10 pm - Crime Scene

" So let me get this straight. You have one similar murder in Boston?" Tamsin asked Jane as the four of them gathered around the body.

" Yes, happened last week." Jane said, when they were watching Maura examining the body, with Bo curiously following her.

" And you said you found some clues that lead to here?" Tamsin asked, pointing at the dead body, " This exact spot?"

" We received an anomynous mail, claiming to be the killer." Jane reached her hand into her jacket pocked and pulled out a letter, " In the mail, he mentioned some details that were not released to the public, together with some of the belongings of the victim. He also said his blood is going to be boiling again, that he wants someone to stop him. Then he said, we could find the next petal at this exact place, with a picture."

" Shit..." Tamsin cursed, " So we are dealing with a crazy serial killer again..."

" And a copy cat." Jane said.

" What do you mean?" Tamsin frowned.

" Are you familiar with the Black Dahlia case in the 40s?"

" Fuck!" Tamsin cursed again, closing her eyes, " That's why the posing of the body looks so fucking familiar..."

" Yeah, tell me about it... It's horrible enough for the woman who died in the 40s, but it was just a single murder. And now we have two?"

" What makes you so sure that this is a copy cat?" Tamsin asked.

Jane opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe Tamsin had just asked such a question. " Well, if it was the original killer, he would be at least over eighty years old now... I doubt someone of that age can commit murders like this."

" He could be a F-" Tamsin swallow the word Fae back, because she suddenly realized that both Jane and Maura were humans, and they probably had no idea about the Faes.

" Huh? What?"

" He could be a fucking long living, healthy pervert. That was what I was going to say." Tamsin said, " Can I take a look at the letter?"

" Yeah, sure. Why don't we go to some place better illuminated?"

" Works for me." Tamsin nodded. Then she paused, pointing at Maura, " Your partner is not coming?"

" Oh, she's not my partner. She's the medical examiner."

" Do Boston police always bring their medical examiner to the crime scene?"

" Hmm... I don't know, do police here always bring their girlfriends to crime scenes?" Jane retorted.

Tamsin huffed out a laugh. She wanted to say that Bo was not her girlfriend, but she hesitated.

Jane stared at her for a moment, then said, " Do you want to see the letter or not?"

10:40 pm - Crime Scene

" So you are not a cop." Bo said to Maura, as she watched her examining the body with gloves on her hands. She seemed totally not bothered by the brutality of the murder, and the fact that mud and blood stained her very expensive shoes.

" And neither are you." Maura said, smiling, " It's a very peculiar choice of dating event, if I must say. Do you always come to crime scenes with your girlfriend?"

" Oh, no...she's not...we're not...it's not..." Bo almost bit her tongue, " I mean, this is not a date. This is me helping her on a case, while her partner is out of town."

" Interesting." Maura said, " Does this topic bother you?"

" No...I mean...yeah...I mean, we are on a murder case, ok? And I thought you were here to examine the body, not me."

" True." Maura said, " Actually, this has the exact same signature as our case. Sawed in half, smiling wound on the face, the pose, and other injuries." She stood up and took off her gloves.

" Why isn't there more blood in the scene? I mean, you would expect more when someone is sawed in half, right?"

" Not if it was done postmortem, and the body was frozen for a few days." Maura said, " Also, the body was highly likely moved here after the sawing."

" Frozen for a few days? "

" Yeah. The victim was probably killed a few days ago. Although...hmm...interesting..." Maura murmured, frowning. She paused there for a long time, then she said," I'll need access to your morgue, so I can further examine the body."

" I'd like to say whatever you need, but I'm not in charge. You'll have to talk to my..." Bo choked on the last word. She suddenly didn't know how to address Tamsin to Maura.

" Partner, I got it." Maura said, winking at Bo.

11:50 pm - Tamsin's Truck

" They are kind of...weird." Bo said to Tamsin as they drove away from the crime scene.

" They probably think that we are weird too." Tamsin said, " So, are you gonna stay at my place tonight, or are you gonna go home to be with your pet?"

" Kenzi's out of town for a few days. So..." Bo said as she caressed Tamsin's thigh with her palm, " We can actually stay at my place tonight."

" Hmmm, an invitation to the succubus' lair..." Tamsin teased Bo, grabbing her hand in hers and moving close to her mouth. She laid a kiss on Bo's hand and made a U-turn. " Your place it is then." She said.

12:40 am - Bo's Place

" Damn...I should have chosen your place..." Bo said as she sat on Tamsin's lap and faced her on her bed.

Tamsin stared at her, pressing her lips on Bo's collar bone. " Why? You finally realized that my place is a lot nicer?"

" You promised me the cop hat and the tie..." Bo said, pulling the blonde's shirt off her.

" Oh...well...maybe if you wait really patiently, you'll get to see the full set soon..." Tamsin said, chuckling. She lay back on the bed, with Bo on top of her. She pulled Bo down for a kiss.

" Damn you really know how to keep a girl on her toes..." Bo said. She unbuttoned Tamsin's jeans and pulled it off.

" Gotta keep a succubus hungry, or she'll run away..." Tamsin said playfully. She streched her arm and reached her hand under Bo's pillow. Then she grabbed something and dragged it out.

" Isn't this...my favorite t-shirt?" Tamsin asked Bo, looking at the t-shirt in her hand. She couldn't remember when Bo had borrowed it from her. She stared at Bo and saw a hint of embarrassment on Bo's face. The succubus blushed.

" What's going on, succulet?" Tamsin looked at Bo, trying hard not to laugh out. Her gut was telling her that whatever explanation Bo had, it would be really interesting.

" Emmm... I borrowed it."

" You mean, you stole it?" Tamsin said, " What for? You like it too much? If you do, you can keep it."

" No...because...it has your scent on it..." Bo murmured, looking away from the blonde. She thought for sure the blonde would laugh at her, but she didn't.

The Valkyrie pulled her down again, giving her a light kiss on her lips. " So that's how you miss me when I'm not around?" She whispered to Bo, " You touch yourself with my tshit?"

Bo rolled her eyes at her. " No, I don't touch myself with it! I just...snuggle with it when I sleep..."

Tamsin smiled. The fact that the brunette missed her when they were not together at night, made her feel warm inside her heart. " Well, it looks to me like I should be here more often then, to mark my territory." Tamsin said.

" You are not a wolf..." Bo said. She liked the idea that Tamsin would be at her place more often. Although, she knew it was not possible because of Kenzi.

" The wolf and I, have a lot in common." Tamsin chuckled, " Lucky for me, my bed is full of your succubus scent." She said as she rolled herself over to top the brunette. Tucking her fingers inside Bo's pants, Tamsin chuckled again. " Do you know how wet you are right now?" She whispered to Bo, slowly running her fingers across Bo's core.

" I am fully fucking aware..." Bo replied in frustration. She raised her hip to get closer to the blonde's hand. But Tamsin tilted her head and pulled her hand out. She took off her shirt and put on the tshirt that Bo took from her.

" What for?" Bo asked.

" So every time you snuggle with this tshirt, you'll remember.-" Tamsin chuckled, tucking her fingers inside Bo's pants again. "-How wet you are right now, and-" The Valkyrie said as she slowly rubbed her finger on Bo's clit, " - how badly you want me, and-" She tucked her fingers inside Bo, " -how hard you came on my hand, and-" She picked up her speed and saw Bo trembling under her, "-how loud you scream my name..."

" Oh...you are...fucking...pure evil..." Bo murmured. She could hardly breath. She closed her eyes, drowning in the keen pleasure the blonde's fingers gave her, and screamed the blonde's name out loud.

7:00 am - Bo's Place

" Wow, omelet." Tamsin said as she walked down the stairs, " I should definitely stay here more often."

" Yeah, except that it would be a disaster if Kenzi sees you here. She'd probably explode."

" What is it that your little human pet holds against me?" Tamsin asked Bo as she sat down beside the dining table and poured herself a cup of coffee.

" Nothing." Bo said, staring at Tamsin and smiling.

" So she just hates me, huh?"

" Well, she used to, when you were trying to put me in jail." Bo said as she handed Tamsin her breakfast, " But after the Kitsune thing, she thinks that you are cool. I mean, if it wasn't for you, she might have been killed."

" Ya, well, I just have this urge to save people's asses." Tamsin smirked, drinking her coffee.

" Yeah you do." Bo sat down beside her, giving her a light kiss on her lips, " It's just...Kenzi still thinks that you are a bitch."

" I think that is actually a compliment." Tamsin raised her coffee mug.

" And the fact that no one ever thought you and me... you know..."

" Banged each other? You cook breakfast for me? I let you stay at my place? In a relationship?" Tamsin asked with her eyebrows raised.

" Are we...in a relationship?" Bo asked playfully.

" Gee, I don't know. Let's see, are you fucking anyone else beside me right now?"

" No."

" Are you going to fuck anyone else beside me in the future?"

" No."

" Then there you go. We are in a relationship."

" Hmmm...I do have one question for you though, officer..." Bo said, sitting on Tamsin's lap with her hands on Tamsin's waist, " How do I know you are not, and will not be, fucking anyone else beside me?"

" 'Cause I'm not a fucking sex demon? And I can barely handle one?" Tamsin said, caressing Bo's face lightly.

" So we are in a relationship..."

" Hey, you can't sleep without my t-shit, apparently we-" Tamsin didn't get to finish her sentence because both of them heard the tinkling sound outside the door.

" Shit! Kenzi's back!" Bo said in a low voice.

" I thought you said she was out of town for a couple of days!" Tamsin stared at Bo.

" I thought so too!" Bo said. Both of them heard the key turning in the lock.

" Fuck, fire escape for me then." Tamsin said.

Bo nodded. Tamsin kissed her right before the door knob turned. Bo watched her storming upstairs. Then she realized that Tamsin hadn't eaten her omelet yet. Bo wanted to grab the plate and throw it away, but it was too late. The door opened before she could reach the plate.

" Kenzi!" Bo exclaimed, freezing beside the trash can.

" Yo, Bo-Bo. I'm home." Kenzi threw her bag on the couch.

" I thought you said you wouldn't be home for several days?"

" Yeah, I thought so, but my cousin...well, never mind. I'm home." Kenzi said. She looked at Bo. Then she frowned. " Why are there two coffee mugs and two omelets? Do you have guest?"

" What? No, no, it's just me. I...I forgot that you were not home, so I made two."

" Oh, you are the best!" Kenzi hugged Bo tight, then started to eat. Bo sighed with relief. She took her cell phone out, and saw a text from Tamsin. Come to the precinct, and bring me some breakfast.

Bo smiled. She texted her back, then she raised her head and saw Kenzi staring at her.

" Who are you texting, and why do you have that weird little smile on your face?" Kenzi asked her, still chewing on her omelet.

" No one." Bo quickly replied. Then she realized that Kenzi would never buy that. " It's someone...I hooked up with last night. I was just checking to see if she got home safely."

" This is not the same someone you were texting during our haunted house case, is it?" Kenzi said, her eyes narrowed.

" No, God, Kenzi! That case was like...two weeks ago. You know me."

" Yeah, I didn't think it was either." Kenzi muttered, with a mouthful of food. She swallowed before she continued, " Wait, if someone was with you last night, why didn't she stay for breakfast?" Then she stopped eating and stared at her plate. After a few seconds, she raised her head and looked at Bo, " I didn't interrupt anything, did I? Is she hiding in your room right now?"

" No, of course not. No one's hiding in my room." Bo said, " Kenzi, you know how I handle...my...personal needs..."

" Yeah, except that you are really acting weird lately." Kenzi said.

" How so?" Bo asked, her arms crossed in front of her chest.

" I don't know... It's like the Ryan situation all over again." Kenzi said.

" The Ryan situation?"

" You know, when you were dating him, but you didn't want us to know, so you acted really weird?" Kenzi said. She paused for a while, then added, " You are not seeing him again, are you?"

" God, no, how could you think that?" Bo exclaimed, " That ship sailed like a gazillion years ago!"

" Good, 'cause, you know...I don't wanna have to drag your ass out of another wedding chapel with all that...wedding...stuff n all...again." Kenzi murmured, drinking her coffee.

" Kenz, glad you are back. I got to go."

" Wait, where are you going? It's like 8:30 in the morning, practically midnight for me."

" Just...covering for Dyson when he's not here."

" Oh, so you are working with detective bitchiness... Well, good luck, Bo-Bo." Kenzi waved her hand to Bo.

8:20 am - Police Station

" One chocolate donut with sprinkles for you, and a coffee for me..." Bo said as she dangled the donut bag in front of Tamsin.

" I thought you had your coffee with your omelet." Tamsin took the donut bag, and opened it.

" Omelet, yes. Actually I ate yours. I told Kenzi I cooked two because I forgot that she was not home..." Bo said, " God maybe I should just tell her..."

" Or maybe next time she catches us in bed, she'll find out." Tamsin said, winking at Bo.

" So, any news on the case?"

" Actually, the Maura chick asked us to go down to the morgue, so... let's go." Tamsin said as she grabbed the donut bag.

8:30 am - The Morgue

" I thought you said she was down here." Bo said, looking at the empty morgue, with a few dissected bodies on the table.

" Maybe she's out for breakfast or something." Tamsin said. She stood at the doorway, eating her donut. Then she realized that Bo was staring at her. " What?" She asked.

" You got chocolate on your face..." Bo said, giggling. She leaned over and licked it off Tamsin's face. Tamsin laughed, pulling her closer.

Just before their lips met, they heard someone clearing throat behind them. They broke off and both stepped back.

Maura was looking at them, as if she had just seen something interesting. " Let's see the victim, shall we? Detective, and...you." She said with a smile on her face.

8:50 am - The Morgue

" I'm sorry, what did you say?" Tamsin asked Maura, like she couldn't believe what she had just heard.

" It's not the same killer as the murder the happened in Boston." Maura repeated, " It's a very self-explanatory sentence."

" But I thought you said the MO was a perfect match."

" The MO, yes, but this one was committed by a different person, simply because our killer was a left handed person, and this one was a right handed." Maura said, " Also, according to the evidence gathered from both crime scenes, the tire tracks and the footprints don't match at all."

" Great, so you are saying that we have two fucking crazy killers out there, and somehow they are connected?" Tamsin said, slamming her hand on the table frustrated.

" No, I am not saying either of them are crazy." Maura said, smiling, " I can't make such a conclusion without thoroughly examining the killers..."

" God, she's worse than you." Tamsin whispered to Bo, " I'm gonna go upstairs to see if the search engine turned anything out."

" Ok." Bo said. She watched the blonde leave, then she turned her head back to Maura and said, " So, different killers, but they committed crimes in an exact same way?"

" Yes. It's very weird." Maura said. She lost in her own train of thought and stopped talking.

7:30 pm - Police Station

" We got a hit on our victim in our database." Tamsin rushed towards her table from the elevator. Bo turned around to face her, so did Jane and Maura. Tamsin handed them a file.

" She worked at a gentleman's club as an erotic dancer?" Maura said as she read the files in her hand.

" You mean she's a stripper." Jane said.

" Well, if you put it that way." Maura said, rolling her eyes at Jane.

" I guess we need to pay this place a visit?" Bo asked, staring at Tamsin.

" I figure it is the place you'd want to go, succulet." Tamsin said, grinning.

Bo wanted to say something, but Maura interrupted her. " What a peculiar nick name." She said to Tamsin, "Is it derived from the word succubus?"

" Yeah, because she's really good with people."

" Technically, succubi are only good with men. They appeared in men's dreams and drain their energy..."

" Oh, believe me, they have absolutely no integrity. They fuck anyone they can lay their hands on." Tamsin said, looking at Bo. She tried hard not to laugh. Bo shot her a cold stare.

" Well, are we going to this stripper club or not?" Jane asked.

" Yeah, we are heading out." Tamsin said.
