Chapter 21: Ain't That The Truth (2x10)

Unknown Location

Bo didn't know what happened, one minute she was racing to her Girlfriend's apartment to save her from a psychotic delinquent, and the next she was hit from behind and knocked out. Which led her to now, she opened her eyes to find herself tied to a chair.

The ropes were knotted up good, she couldn't even reach the knife she kept in the back of her jeans. Actually, she kept one in various places. One in her bra, one in her boot, and the other in her jeans. You never know when situations like this came up unexpectedly.

Her head was killing her, especially when she lifted it. But she managed to do it, and when she did she saw that she was sitting across from Lauren. Who was also tied up, and she had blood dripping from her head. Shit! She didn't want to see her hurt, she couldn't bare it.

"Lauren?" She called to her, coughing as her mouth was dry. "Lauren? Wake up!" She called and called, but her Girlfriend never woke up.

"You might have a hard time waking her…" Nelson's voice rang from behind her, he walked forward with a smile, holding up his fist that was wearing a set of brass knuckles. "… She took quite the hit when I knocked on her door earlier" he chuckled.

Bo's eyes turned blue in anger, "You're gonna pay for hurting her!" She struggled in her restraints, but they weren't budging. "Let me out of this chair, then you can try me on for size" she was going to make a meal out of his face.

Nelson just laughed again, "Na…" He shook his head, "… I like you in the hot seat. Besides, my gal and I had something special in mind for you two. We didn't know if you were with the Wolfboy, seeing how he dotes on you; but when you brought us to your house, it was clear. You and the Doc, sitting in a tree" he brought his face close to hers.

"You realise your Girlfriend's in jail right?" Bo asked him, "Your stupid little game is pointless now, what do you have to gain from this?" She didn't understand psychos and the way their minds worked.

He walked over to the table to the far side, pulling back a large tarp. "This was the grand finale!" He yelled, "And even though my girl's in jail, she'd still want me to finish up. If she goes down, then you and your little barbie doll will be going down with her!" He hooked both of them up to the machine.

"Don't hurt her!" Bo didn't care what happened to herself, but Lauren didn't deserve any of this.

Nelson went over to Lauren, kicking her leg. "Wake up blondie! It's time for the game to start!" He chuckled.

Lauren lifted her head, which was throbbing. She blinked her eyes, seeing Bo in front of her and she was tied up. "Bo?" She looked down at herself and she was also restrained. "What's going on?!" She was freaking out a little.

"Lauren it's okay…" Bo had to calm her down. "… Just look at me. Everything's gonna be fine, I'm gonna get us out of this. I promise" she gave a small smile. She noticed that her head injury looked bad, she had to get her out of here.

"And that's the first lie you've told her Bo…" Nelson hit the button that he held in his hand, when he did something shocked Bo. And it was a huge shock. He'd hooked the machine up to the electricity, he could control it with this button. "… That was just a taste" he said.

Lauren was feeling very dazed, she noticed the blood running down the left side of her face. And it wasn't stopping. "Why're you doing this to us?" She asked.

Nelson met her eyes, "Because it's fun, because you took my Girlfriend from me, because you bad mouthed her, take your pick. Now I'm gonna explain the rules to you, they're very simple…" He sat on the table in the middle of them. "… I'm going to ask you some questions. Tell the truth, and you'll be fine. Tell a lie, and well; you saw the little demonstration. Picture that, ten fold"

He'd also hooked them up to a lie detector machine, so he would know if they were trying to cheat by lying.

"You're insane" Bo took a breath, she felt like her skin was on fire.

"Most likely…" Nelson recharged the machine, then got his trigger ready. "… Okay, first question. Bo? Do you love Lauren?" He asked.

Bo never left Lauren's gaze, that was an easy question. "Yes" she answered.

Nelson looked back at the computer, the levels were steady. She was telling the truth, so he asked Lauren the same question and she answered the same. Again, he didn't get to shock anyone in this round. He kind of figured that, "Next question; are you currently keeping a secret from Lauren?"

That was when Bo started to freak out, but she had to remain calm. She'd read about these machines, and they measured heart rate and blood pressure. All she had to do, was remain calm and breathe easy. She could fool this machine. Like in the spy movies that Kenzi always made her watch.

"No" She said.

Looking back at the screen, Nelson saw her levels rise; and a lot. He imitated the sound of a buzzer; "Wrong answer!" He pushed the button, sending the electrical current through the cable and right over to Bo's chair, shocking her and hearing her scream. "That's what happens when you're not truthful"

Lauren felt her tears brimming, mostly because she knew what the secret was. It was Bo's kiss with Tamsin. Which the Dark Fae was happy enough to tell her about. After the shock treatment was over, Bo tried to apologise. "You can explain everything to me when we get out of here" she smiled at her.

"I wouldn't bet on it…" Nelson said, "… Because you're never getting out of here. Now Lauren? Are you currently keeping a secret from Bo?" He asked her the same question.

Instead of getting herself shocked, Lauren decided to tell her the truth. At least her truth wasn't a betrayal like Bo's was. "Yes" she answered.

And that answer made Bo frown at her, what was she keeping from her? Why didn't she tell her the truth about it? Then again, she couldn't talk much. She'd been lying too.

Nelson saw that Lauren was telling the truth, "Good for you Doc. You know how to follow rules, unlike your less than truthful Girlfriend here. Now, Jolene told me that you once dated the Wolfboy, is that true?" He looked at Bo.

"What's that got to do with anything?" Bo asked.

He revealed a mischievous smirk, "You may think that you had everything under wraps, but you're wrong. Jolene heard all sorts of rumours. How Dyson sacrificed something important for you, and once he did you jumped right back into Lauren's lap. How does it feel to be the sloppy seconds?" He turned to Lauren.

To be honest, Lauren had always thought that at the back of her mind. Was Bo only with her because she couldn't have Dyson? Was she really sloppy seconds? "You're wasting your time…" She told him. "… I don't doubt Bo's love for me" she smiled at her Girlfriend.

"Maybe you should. Bo?" He turned back to the shaking brunette, "Do you still love Dyson?" He asked her.

Bo was at a loss, because she did love him, but it wasn't in the way he was asking her. So she was going to answer for the latter. "No" she said, and as soon as she did he shocked her.

Nelson bent down next to her, "Why Bo? Why are you lying?!" He touched her hand. "Just tell the truth, is that so hard? Put poor Lauren out of her misery!" He begged her, then got up to go back to the table.

Then Lauren realised the nature of his question, and she knew why Bo answered No. So she was going to ask her a different one. "Are you in love with with Dyson?" She asked. "Answer the question Bo!" She demanded.

As Nelson was making his way over to Lauren to shut her up, Bo answered No again, and Lauren saw the screen from where she was sitting. Bo's levels were steady, she was telling the truth. "Bad luck you sick bastard! She's telling the truth!" She laughed in his face.

He didn't like being overthrown, so he smacked her in the face. And then pushed the button to shock her, she needed to be taught a lesson. "What did I say about rules? Follow them and everything will go smoothly, don't and you get burned. Or in your case, shocked"

"Lauren!" Bo could take being shocked, even though it was killing her. But Lauren was already weak from the head wound, she couldn't take much more. "Babe please, hold on. I know you're strong, you can handle this!" She believed it.

Lifting her head slowly, Lauren coughed but managed to smile. "That makes one of us. But medically speaking? Two more shocks and I'm dead" she knew her own body.

"Then you better hope you stick to the rules, and tell the truth. Next Question, Lauren? If you could leave tomorrow, regardless of your relationship with Bo; would you?" He asked.

Bo didn't care if Lauren answered yes to this question, because she knew how much her Girlfriend wanted her freedom.

The answer to that question was easy, "No" she shook her head. She could see her own levels from here, and they were holding steady, the possibility of being with Bo was worth being owned. It was worth going through the crap that the Fae put her through.

"This isn't that much fun anymore…" Nelson sighed, he liked it better when they were lying. At least he got to shock them. But now they were telling the truth. But then he thought of a good question for Bo. "… Bo? Do you wish Lauren was like you?" He asked her, watching her freeze.

He'd got her.

"I mean come on, you've gotta wonder. Maybe life would be a little easier if she was like you, you wouldn't have to worry about hurting her. She could be everything that you need" he bent down next to her, whispering in her ear.

Bo didn't look at him, "You don't know anything about me!" She hissed.

He chuckled, "Actually I know quite a bit. Jolene told me. You're a Succubus right? You feed off of the human life force, so it's gotta be tough to be with Lauren here…" He gestured to her. "… She's all human, which must mean that her life force doesn't last long enough for you to get what you need to survive. Right?"

"You know nothing" Bo said again, she wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

"Don't you ever wonder, how much easier life would be if she was Fae. An expendable life force, you wouldn't have to share yourself with anyone. You could commit yourself to her, and only her…" He needed to push her buttons a little more. "… Unless, that's not what you want"

Bo whipped her head around to him. "You wanna know what I want?" She asked him. "I wanna get out of this chair, and I want to rip your head off. That's what I want!"

"Answer the question, or your lady love gets shocked. One more after that, and she'll be no more. The choice is yours Bo. Do you wish that Lauren was Fae?" He asked her again, holding up the button ready.

Looking Lauren dead in the eyes, Bo shed a tear. "No, she's perfect just the way she is" that was the god honest truth. Bo didn't want an easy relationship, she wanted Lauren. Because she loved her, with everything she had.

Lauren glanced at the screen, the levels were steady. That was the truth. And now she wanted to cry, because all she wanted to do was kiss her. And she couldn't get to her. So she just decided to mouth an 'I love you' to her.

At this point, she couldn't give a shit about the kiss with Tamsin. If it had meant something, then Bo would've left her by now. But she was still here, and after saying something like that. How could she ever get mad at her again?

Bo felt her ropes loosening, clearly this kid was too stupid to know that shocking someone with cotton rope would make it wither. If she could get shocked once more then maybe it would loosen enough for her to break free and grab her knife. "What's wrong Nelly?" She smiled at him. "Out of questions?" She asked.

"Maybe…" He answered honestly, "… But I got an endless supply of electricity" he shocked her again, and now he was sorry that he did. Because in the blink of an eye, Bo broke free of her restraints and pulled a knife from her back.

She jumped on him, jamming the knife in between his eyes. She didn't normally kill her enemies, but he was asking for it. And she didn't foresee another way out of it. She was moving a little slow, but she got to the machine and shut it down. Then moved over to Lauren. "Are you okay?" She touched her head.

"I will be, once I get out of this death chair. Little help?" Lauren nodded to her ropes, waiting for Bo to set her free. Once she was free, she stood with her Girlfriend's help and quickly hugged her. "I know about Tamsin" she whispered in her ear.

Bo pulled back, wondering how she knew. "Lauren, I swear to you; it didn't mean anything. She kissed me. I'll admit that I didn't stop it, but I love you. I don't want anyone else, you're all I need" she meant that.

Lauren kissed her, holding on. Mostly because she couldn't walk properly, and because she didn't want to let go. "I love you too. It's okay, we can talk about everything when we get home. Can we leave this place now? Because I'm definitely gonna need stitches" she chuckled sadly.

"Yeah, come on" Bo helped her walk out of the building, they didn't know where they were but they could hear cars coming from the north. So they just followed the noise, then they could get to a hospital and then hopefully home.

If this experience had taught them anything, it was that honesty was the best policy for a reason.
