Bo let out a raucous scream as she stepped out of the Dal. Although Kenzi and she were not on good standing at the moment, she needed her and was glad to see her.
"Bo what did I walk in on back there?
"Look Kenzi I know I haven't been there for you in a long time, but I promise I will make that up to you".
"Ummm I know you will Bo, we are still friends, I just needed some space".
"No Kenzi, I treated you badly and we still have things to talk about".
"I should have grabbed a beer before I left, I'm going to need it".
"Bo?
"Kenzi...they told me about Aife".
"Ohhhh boy".
"Kenzi please tell me they were lying".
"Look Bo I can tell you that she is alive".
"You knew?
"We had just gotten you back after the Wanderer took you and you were having memory issues, we didn't want to burden you".
"That's not what they told me. They told me they did it to protect me. Lying is not protecting me. Once again I was kept from my mother".
"But Bo..
"Don't sugarcoat this for them Kenzi, they've done it before".
"But Bo do you remember how that ended up?
"Aife ended up falling to the floor. She was crazy enough to try and pull you down with her'.
"But before she fell, I saw my real mom, I may not have known her long, but I saw the love in her eyes".
"Bo I'm sorry I hadn't known you that long then either, I just wanted to protect you from the crazy woman I saw. As for now we don't know how she is because only Trick has access to her".
"Well I am going to get access, she's my mother for pete's sake".
"Where are we going?
"First we are going home to get some weapons to bust mom out of that place. I know Trick likely has tight security in place and then I'm going to call Lauren. This might not be her field of study but she's a doctor and a genius, so she will be able to help us".
"Wait do you think she will even talk to you after the other night?
"Lauren's a doctor, no matter what has been going on or is going on with us, she will always help a patient".
"That's true".
"Now Kenzi about us".
"I am so sorry about Hale. I was half there for you when I should have been there for you all the time".
"Bo I am not going to lie to you. It really hurt when you shut me out for Rainer. Hell you even shut Lauren and Dyson out too. I know Trick can be sneaky but wow those two?
Shaking her head Bo said "Yes I know, I can tell I hurt Lauren deeply. Dyson seems ready to hop right back in bed with me".
"But I told him I am in love with Lauren. Hopefully he finally gets it".
"Well you were sleeping with him Bo an awful lot before Rainer showed up. Btw where is he?
Bo sighed "He's dead".
"Come again?
"Rosette set us up and when she confessed her betrayal I'm assuming my father's force pulled them both into this huge fire".
"Damn".
"Yeah, it wasn't pretty".
"Bo are you ok?
"I will be but this was supposed to be about us Kenzi".
"Bo you're still my sister from another mister".
Bo looked horrified
"Ohhh balls. Sorry I forgot".
"It's ok".
So what do you say when this is all over, you and I hit up the malls, pizza joints, you know BFF stuff?
"You had me back at malls, Bo bo".
"Good".
They arrived back at the crack shack. There was s huge box outside the door. They noticed Bo's name on it and put it in a corner for the time being.
"Look Kenzi grab what you think you will need. I am not sure how much security we will run up against. We won't kill them, just knock them out or stun them long enough to get her out".
"Geraldine it is then".
Bo gathered up her weapons but not all of them. She took a few deep breaths.
"I think I will drink a glass of wine first", said Kenzi
"Make it quick then", said Bo
"What do you think is in that box Bo?
"I don't know, I will look while you're having your wine".
Bo opened the box. It was only another box. It looked like a toy with a crank on the side.
"What the hell is this?
There wasn't a note or anything. All she saw was her name on the outside. Bo turned the crank,it popped open with a flash of light and then nothing. Shaking her head, she set it on the kitchen counter top.
"So what was it Bo?
"Two big boxes of nothing Kenzi, you ready to go?
"Yep, let's go get succumommie dearest".
They raced in the dark for the institution. Bo thought it would be smarter at night time because it was likely the staff would be minimal.
Pulling up in the parking lot Bo said "Remember Kenzi, we are only here to get her out, we are not here to kill anyone".
"Gotcha Bobo".
They walked in and like Bo predicted there wasn't much of the staff working. She asked a nurse for direction to Aife's room.
They walked slowly towards the room and ran through the door.
"Trick?
"Bo, no, she's staying here".
"Like hell you say".
"Bo you have to leave her here"
Bo's eyes turned blue. "What did you say Blood King?
"Isabeau!
Aife started to stir.
"See Bo, she's resting and she's staying here".
Bo had calmed when she saw her mother stirring but still stood her ground.
"Trick she is coming with Kenzi and me. We are taking her to Lauren".
"Lauren, she's with the Dark Fae, they will kill your mother".
"Lauren is a Dr and she won't turn away a patient and since she's Dark Fae like you said, the Light Fae can no longer control who she treats either".
"Lauren is just a doctor, your mother has mental issues".
"Then I'm sure Dr. genius Lewis will think of a way to help her or find someone who can. You're running out of excuses Trick. This is my mother and she's coming with me".
"Bo you're right she's your mother but she's my daughter and if I have to I will call the Morrigan and she will tell Lauren that she can't treat her".
"Have you met Lauren, Trick?
"She does what she wants, just like the woman you're staring at and the one you're trying to keep me from taking".
"I'm not arguing about this anymore. Kenzi you grab one side and I will grab the other"
"Bo".
"Move Trick, you've kept me from her long enough. I'm shocked your lap dog Dyson isn't here helping you".
"You two crossed this line too many times. Kenzi you ready?
"Ok Bo I will take her right side".
Trick finally moved saying he was going out to call the Morrigan.
"Call her, we're still taking mom out of here"
Shaking his head Trick walked out.
They slowly bent down to pick Aife up. She started to stir again.
"Mom it's me, we are getting you out of here".
They stood her up and Aife slumped her head down as they walked her out.
The staff tried to stop Bo until her eyes turned blue again and they stood to the sides as they walked out and carried her to the Camaro.
"Easy, easy Kenzi", said Bo as they laid her in the back seat.
They both climbed in the front.
Bo picked up her phone and called Lauren.
"Dr Lewis", Lauren answered
"Well hello Dr".
"Bo?
"Hey I know it's kind of late but I really need your help with a special patient".
"Who?
Bo hesitated because she couldn't believe she was about to say "It's my mom. She's alive and Kenzi and I just dragged her out of a mental institution".
"What? A What?
"Yeah apparently she's been there for some time".
"Look I know you're not trained in this field but any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated".
"Oh no Bo it's ok, if I can help I will or get someone in here who can".
Bo smiled. She knew Lauren would help.
"Ok where shall we meet, we obviously can't bring her to the Dark Compound, the Morrigan will want her dead".
"Bring her to my clinic"
"Wait Lauren, you have a clinic?
"Well it's a clinic Evony paid for, but I treat who I want there, humans and Fae. I just need to examine her to make sure she's physically well and then we can go from there".
"Just wait a few hours until the clinic actually closes and then I'm all yours".
"Yeah that's a great idea".
"Text me the address and we will hang low a bit and call when you're ready".
"Ok see you soon, bye Bo".
"Bye Lauren".
"Damn Lauren has a new clinic. When the hell was that built?
"Sounds like she's come up since she aligned with the Dark Fae", said Kenzi
"We will park and wait a few hours. I think I have blankets in my trunk to cover mom up and a few for us. I'm sure Trick has already called Evony".
Kenzi hopped out and grabbed some blankets and a pillow out of the trunk and made sure Aife was comfortable.
"Let's grab something to eat too Bo, this is going to be a very long night".
"Yes I will need to feed too".
They hit up a drive thru and Bo hit up the employees.
They pulled over in an abandoned lot. Bo raised the car top and waited for Lauren to call.
