Chapter 19 – Are You Scared?

11:45 pm – Tamsin's Apartment

" Wow, watch out!" Tamsin grabbed Bo by her waist right before Bo was about to bang her head into the fridge.

" What did I do this time?" Bo took off the blindfold over her eyes and asked.

" You were supposed to open the fridge door, not bang your face on it."

" Damn..." Bo sat down on the chair, frustrated. "Why am I even doing this?" She said, " Is there a blindfold walking competition or something?"

" You need to get used to walking in the dark. Not only because a lot of attacks happen in the dark and you want to be used to maneuvering in that environment, but, practicing in the dark will also enable your other senses to become heightened which could help you during dangerous situations and probably with a lot of other things as well."

" Ok, fine. Are you really trying to train me against potential danger, or are you just enjoying watching my failure?"

" Both." The Valkyrie chuckled, " Plus, you look really hot...in a blindfold." She pulled the brunette closer and kissed her.

12:30 pm – Tamsin's Apartment

" Alright. This is the third time you've tried to open the door with your face." Tamsin said as she pulled Bo back.

" This is so fucking hard!"

" You spend three nights out of five at my place, how can you not know where the fridge it?" Tamsin asked as she looked at Bo with a teasing smile on her face.

" I do know where it is, when I can look at it." Bo said. She took off the blindfold and handed it to Tamsin. " How about you do it?"

" Ok." Tamsin put on the blindfold. Bo spun her for a few rounds. Then the Valkyrie stopped. She turned her head around and smiled. She walked towards the kitchen and pinned Bo to the fridge door.

" How the hell do you know I'm standing in front of the fridge?" Bo asked.

" Well, first of all, I can sense your warmth radiating from you." Tamsin said, leaning towards Bo, " Second...I smelled your perfume..." She said as she pressed her lips on Bo's. Then she put the blindfold over Bo's eyes and lifted her up to let her sit on the kitchen counter.

Bo couldn't see anything, but she knew the Valkyrie had pulled off her pants and kneel down between her legs. When Tamsin's tongue brushed across her core, Bo clenched her fists hard and screamed.

1:00 am – Tamsin's Apartment

" Wow, I didn't know you could be that loud when you..." The Valkyrie said as she kissed her way up to Bo's lips. The succubus was still quivering from the intense orgasm she just had when she had been completely blindfolded. She had to pull herself away from the kiss and rest her head on Tamsin's shoulder so she could breathe again. The blonde chuckled, caressing the brunette's back.

A sudden ringing sound of Tamsin's phone startled both of them.

" Are you gonna get that?" Bo asked.

" Sure..." The blonde kissed her on her lips again, before she walked away to take the call.

Bo took off the blindfold. She could still feel her legs shaking. She hopped off from the counter and picked up her pants from the floor. When she was putting them on, the blonde hung up her phone and turned around.

" It was Dyson. We have a murder case. I need to go to the crime scene now." Tamsin said.

" Ok. I guess I'll go home then."

" Well...if you want to stay here..." Tamsin pulled her close, " I can wake you up in the morning..."

Bo smiled, but before she could say anything, her phone started to ring. " Oh no. It's Dyson." Bo said as she glanced at the caller ID. She picked it up.

" Bo, I need a favor."

" For the murder case?" Bo was not paying attention to what she was saying, because the blonde was caressing her waist and it was very distracting. Then she realized that she shouldn't have said that, because she was not supposed to know about it. " I mean, for a murder case?"

" How did you know?" Dyson asked.

" Well, you always call me on one murder case or another." Bo said. The blonde chuckled quietly and laid a kiss on her shoulder.

" Anyway, just come ok?" Dyson said, " I'll text you the address."

1:20 am – Crime Scene

Bo and Tamsin went to the crime scene separately, so Dyson wouldn't figure out that they were together. When Bo got to the crime scene, Tamsin had already started interviewing the witnesses at the scene.

Dyson waved to Bo, asking her to come closer.

" What do we have here?" Bo asked.

Dyson pointed out the body to her with his pen. Bo saw a young woman sitting beside a dumpster in the back alley of a bar. She had her party dress on, and her makeup was a little bit too heavy with too much glitter. Her clutch purse was tossed aside on the ground, her back pressed against the wall, as if she was resting. Her throat was slit with a long, deep cut wound from left to right, and there was a handkerchief wrapped around her neck, which was slightly torn by the cut. With her eyes wide open, she creeped Bo out with her eyes wide open like they were.

" So why do you need me here?" Bo asked.

Dyson pointed at a teenage boy on the other side of the alley to Bo. " That's the kid who found the body. He was too scared to talk to us. I thought maybe you could use your charm."

" Of course."

1:30 am- Crime Scene

" Well, I tried, he didn't see anyone, or notice anything unusual. He was just throwing away some trash here, and he found the body like that." Bo said to Dyson, when she was still looking at the poor boy. The kid was crouching the whole time, his face pale and his body shaking.

" Ok, I guess we-" Dyson was cut off by his ringing phone. He picked it up, then he frowned. " I'm on my way." He said.

Bo raised her eyebrows, staring at the wolf. She never expected that he would leave in the middle of investigating the crime scene.

" We've got another murder, not far from here." Dyson said.

" Another murder? Gee, rough night I guess." Bo said, " Can I tag along?"

" Of course. Come on." Dyson said to her. Then he waved to Tamsin, asking her to come over too.

1:50 am – Crime Scene II

When Bo got out from Dyson's car and saw the victim, she could barely move.

A woman was lying on the ground, in the corner of a dead end alley. Her head turned to her left, facing the exit of the road, with her eyes wide open, as if she was staring. Her dress was pulled up, exposing her abdomen and her lower part of the body. She was cut open, her guts pulled out and laid on her chest. A deep, long cut slit her throat, just like the young girl Bo saw twenty minutes ago. A handkerchief wrapped around her neck, right below the cut wound, drenched in blood. Her right ear had been partially cut off, but it was nowhere to found in the scene.

Bo swallowed hard. She had never seen such a brutal murder before. She breathed hard, and turned away, because she didn't want to face the hollow eyes of the victim's.

" Fuck." Dyson cursed. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

2:30 am – Tamsin's Apartment

" I thought you went home." Tamsin said as she opened the door for Bo.

" I did...but...I don't feel like being alone tonight."

" Don't you have your human pet or something?" The Valkyrie smirked.

Bo rolled her eyes at her. " You know what I mean..."

Tamsin shook her head, but she let Bo in. " Are you scared?" She asked.

" No...It's just...It just kept flashing through my mind...I've never seen a murder like that before..."

" Well, stop thinking about it then." Tamsin pulled her close and hugged her tight. Bo hugged her back, burying her face in Tamsin's chest.

" What would you do without me..." Tamsin murmured with a smile on her face. She sat down on the floor, pressing her back against the couch and let Bo sit on her lap. She held Bo from behind, and pulled a throw to cover them both. " It's ok, succulet." She whispered to Bo right close to her ear, " It's ok..."

9:00 – Police Station

" We have a situation. A serious one." Dyson said to Tamsin and Bo in the interrogation room while they were handed a folder of case files each. His voice was lower, as if he didn't want anyone else to hear them.

" Yeah, two deaths in one night, I get it." Bo said.

" No, not just that." Dyson said, " This case...I mean, these two cases look familiar."

" You've seen this MO before?"

" Yeah, I have. In fact, I would have realized it last night, if it weren't for the fact that it happened so long ago."

" How long ago are we talking about?" Tamsin asked.

" Over a hundred years ago." Dyson lowered his voice, " It was 1888, and I was in London."

" Wait a minute, 1888, London. Oh you are not seriously suggesting..." Tamsin suddenly realized something, " How could it even be possible?"

" Look at the names of the two victims. Elizabeth, Catherine. " Dyson said to Tamsin as he pointed at the names on the file.

" Shit! Shit!" Tamsin cursed after she glanced at it.

" Hello? A little clue here please?" Bo said. She had no idea what they two were talking about.

" Have you ever heard of Jack the Ripper?" Dyson asked Bo.

" Yeah...sort of... he killed like a bunch of prostitutes like a long time ago in England, right? " Bo said.

" Yes. His third victim Elizabeth and fourth victim Catherine were killed on the same night. They were killed exactly the same way as the two victims we found last night." Dyson said.

Bo opened her eyes wide. " Are you saying that this is him?"

" I don't know... he should be dead already..."

" Could be a copy cat." Tamsin said as she rubbed her forehead lightly, " I mean, yes, Jack the Ripper was never caught, but even if he was a Fae and he had lived this long, why would he kill someone with the same name in the same way?"

All of them went quiet for a while. Then Bo asked Dyson, " You said you've seen the MO before, as seen in person?"

" Yes, I was on that case in 1888, unofficially." Dyson said.

" Wow, I learn something new about you every day." Tamsin said as she scrunched her nose.

" Anyway, I was in England, visiting friends in 1888. One of the detectives who was on that case was my former partner in the 1700s when I lived in England, and he asked for my help because they were already at a dead end, so I did." Dyson said, " But no, we didn't catch the killer. The killing stopped after the fifth victim. We thought that the killer was either dead, or for some reason couldn't kill anymore. I didn't smell any Fae at the scene, but those victims were killed days before I looked at the scene, so I can't say for sure it was not a Fae."

" Well, any firsthand experience or results we can use to solve this double murder?" Tamsin asked.

Dyson shook his head. " No, back then the forensics and stuff were...you know...19th century. Even if there was anything like DNA left by the killer, no one could have had the tech to process it or preserve it. There was this long list of suspects, from an upper class gentleman to a meat butcher, then someone thought the killer could be a female. It was a mess. I think back then a lot of the cops were just so happy that he stopped the killing after the 5th victim."

" Hmm...you said they had the same name as his 3rd and 4th victim, then do we have a 1st and a 2nd?" Bo asked, frowning," I mean, the original killer or a copy cat, either way seems pretty obsessed with the consistency. "

" Good question." Dyson said as he stood up from his chair, " I'll go do some digging in the database, see if I can find any info on 1st and the 2nd murders, if there is any."

" You go do that." Tamsin nodded to him.

2:00 pm – Tamsin's Apartment

" I miss reading case files with you like this." Bo said when she was sitting on the couch with the Valkyrie resting her head on her lap.

The blonde smiled, staring at Bo. Bo moved the case files away and lowered her head, giving the blonde a kiss on her lips. Then she put her focus back to the case files.

" So, since this case is highly related to the original Jack the Ripper case, I asked Dyson for the old case files too. Maybe there is a clue or two in there somewhere." Bo said. She read for a while, then she stopped and asked, " Do you think it's the same killer?"

" Not that it's entirely impossible, but I would say a copy cat explains it better." Tamsin said, " If it's the original killer, why hasn't he killed anyone in the past 150 years?"

" Maybe he did, but no one connected those case to him. You know, you don't normally consider someone that lived 150 years ago as your suspect, right?"

" I don't know...this case seems weird..." Tamsin frowned, " Find anything?"

" No... still looking at the old files..." Bo said, " I'm so glad that these crime scene photos were black and white, although they still look brutal as hell..."

" It was a very brutal case." Tamsin said, " I-" She didn't get to finish her sentence because both of their phones beeped.

" It's from wolfboy." Tamsin said as she read the text from Dyson, " He found the first and the second victim. He wants me to go check them out."

" Ok, I guess we go there separately again."

3:50 pm - Morgue

When Bo arrived at the morgue, Tamsin and Dyson were already there talking to the coroner. The coroner was pointing at the bodies lying on the table explaining something to them.

" Hey." Dyson nodded to Bo when he saw her come in.

" So, are they the first and the second?" Bo asked.

" I think so." Dyson sighed, " Look at the wounds, the slit throat cut, the pulled out intestines."

" How come you weren't aware of them before this case?" Bo asked.

" I think they went through two other precincts, and the officers who worked on them never really found anything. One of the teams thinks it's illegal organ harvesting, because the victim's kidney was gone. The other team didn't have a conclusion." Dyson said, " Both of them were not ID'd. I've already asked the tech team to run the name of the first and second victim in the original case in the system, see if any of them can match our victims."

Bo nodded. Although the bodies were cleaned and the blood was gone, she could still feel how ruthless the killer was when he killed them. " So which one is the first?"

" I'm guessing the one on the right. She lost five of her teeth, just the same as Mary, the first victim in the original case." Dyson pointed the body to Bo as he spoke.

Bo looked at the body. The eyes were closed, and it looked less scary. The slit wound on her neck looked almost pale, showing the flesh from inside. Just like the second victim Bo saw last night, her stomach was cut open, and her guts were dragged out.

Bo moved her eyes to the other body, and they looked just about the same, except that the other girl still had her full teeth in her mouth.

" Why isn't the third victim, I mean, the first one we saw last night, cut open?" Bo asked.

" No idea. The third victim in the original case was killed that way. My old partner believed that the killer was disturbed somehow, so he didn't really finish his work. That might be why he killed another victim the same night, he was too compulsive to stop."

" So, this killer, I mean, our killer right now, was disturbed too last night?"

" I don't know. If it is the original killer, probably. If it was a copy cat, he could be just simply repeating after the original killer." Dyson said, " Once they ID them, I'll let you know."

5:20 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" And there you are again." Tamsin said as she looked at Bo, who was standing in front of her door.

" Just thought you might want someone to work on the case files with you." Bo said.

" Fine." Tamsin smirked, " Come in. I'll order some dinner."

9:20 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" I guess I should go home." Bo said, after hours of reading and finding nothing.

" Not staying?" Tamsin asked her.

" I wish I could, but I haven't been home for two days."

" Yeah...better take care of your human pet then."

" Yeah. I'll see you tomorrow at the police station I guess." Bo said.

11:20 pm - Bo's Place

Bo heard her phone beeping when she got out from the shower. She wrapped the towel around her body and picked it up.

To her surprise, Tamsin sent her a text. Bo opened her eyes wide, because the Valkyrie almost never sent texts to her.

Look outside your window.

Bo turned her head around, and saw the blond standing outside her window on the fire escape ladder, grinning at her.

" What are you doing here?" Bo asked in a low voice when she opened the window.

" I was in the neighborhood, thought I should say hi." Tamsin smirked.

" Then why didn't you go through the door?" Bo asked.

" Because then your human pet would find out that I'm here?"

" She's gonna see your truck tomorrow morning anyway."

" Oh relax, I parked a couple blocks away. I'm a cop, sweetheart." Tamsin said as she pulled Bo closer and laid a kiss on her lips.

Bo kissed her back, with her hands tightly holding the blonde's waist and her heart filled with warm feelings. " You came because I asked for your company last night, didn't you?"

" Maybe, or maybe it's just a booty call." Tamsin whispered to her, slowly caressed the brunette's lower back with her fingers.

Bo bit her lips and moaned.

7:50 am - Bo's Place

" Bo, Bo-Bo..."

Kenzi's yelling made Bo jerk up from the bed and pull the blanket over to cover the blonde, who was in between her legs. She bit her lips hard not to moan, and saw the petit Russian girl appear at the door way.

" Kenzi!" Bo smiled, with her hand grabbing Tamsin under the blanket. She was trying to stop the blonde from moving any further, but she couldn't stop her soft tongue licking on her thigh.

Kenzi froze at the door, with a cereal bowl and a spoon in her hand. She stared at Bo with her eyes opening wide. She realized that there was someone else under the blanket, but she was not sure if she should just turn around and leave.

" You have...emmm...something to tell me?" Bo asked, trying very hard not to bite her tongue.

" I- I have to go." Kenzi said, " God I swear I didn't know you had company. I mean, why didn't I know..."

" Yeah, you better go." Bo laughed.

Tamsin chuckled when she heard Kenzi leave. She stuck her head out from under the blanket, and grinned at Bo.

" Looks like you are trying to get caught." Bo said in a low voice.

" Well, you can convince her it's another nightmare."

9:00 am - Police Station

" Any progress?" Bo asked Dyson when she arrived at the station. Dyson was reading the case files, and the blonde who was sitting on the opposite side of the desk was filling out some forms.

" Yes and no." Dyson said, with a look of frustration on his face. " We found some disposable lab coats and gloves in the nearby dumpster, covered in victims' blood. Probably dumped by the killer."

" Any finger prints? Hair?"

" We did find a hair or two, and a partial print, but we have to have something to compare with first."

" Any matches in the database?"

" No." Dyson said, " We need a suspect, or a list of suspects, first."

" What about the street surveillance cameras, parking lot cameras, or ATM cameras? "

" Too much footage to compare. The tech team is still processing all the information." Dyson said, " If only we could find some more clues..."

" Well, I've read the original Jack the Ripper case files, but I haven't finished the files of the new killings. I guess I can read them here."

" Sure." Dyson grabbed a chair and push it towards Bo. Then he turned to Tamsin and said, " Why don't you give your case files to Bo so she can read them as well?"

" Well, she'll have to come over and get it." Tamsin put down the pen in her hand and smirked.

Bo rolled her eyes at her. Then she stood up and moved to Tamsin's side of the desk. The blonde pulled out the case file folder from her drawer and handed it to Bo. She caressed the back of Bo's waist with her fingers when Bo was about to go back to her own chair.

Bo stared at her, but the blonde had already pulled her hands back and turned her head back to her forms.

10:30 am - Police Station

" Coffee?" Dyson asked Bo as he stood up.

" No, well, I guess I could use some coffee." Bo said.

Tamsin stood up, with a stack of paperwork in her hand. She put them on Dyson's table. When she walked pass Bo, she suddenly leaned down and kissed Bo on her lips. She pulled away before Bo could even react to it.

Bo stiffened. She quickly turned around but realized that no one had noticed that. Then she shot a glare at Tamsin, who had already returned to her own chair with an evil smile on her face.

Bo wanted to say something, but Dyson had already come back with the coffee. Bo had to take her coffee and pretend nothing had happened.

She forced herself to focus on the case files she was reading, but found nothing as a clue. Then she turned to the pages with the crime scene photos of the fourth victim. She frowned at one of the photo, and said to Dyson, " They found buttons at the crime scene? I didn't see any buttons that night when we were there..."

" Yeah. We didn't see them because they were under the victim's body." Dyson said, " And it's consistent with the original case too. The fourth victim in the original case had six buttons under her body."

" Wait, by six, you mean five right?" Bo asked. She pointed the photo to Dyson and added, " They found five buttons under the victim's body, and I think in the original case, it was five too."

Dyson frowned. Then he realized something. " Yes, it was five in the report, but..." He leaned close and continued in a low voice, " It was actually six. When I revisited the scene, I found a sixth down in the sewage drain a few feet away from the crime scene, because I smelled the blood of the victim. But by then the police had already filed their reports, and they just never changed them. And we thought it might be an advantage for us not to release every bit of details to the public."

" Then it's not the same killer." Tamsin said, " Because if it was, he would have known that there were six buttons instead of five."

" So it's a copy cat after all..." Bo murmured.

Tamsin smirked, " Hate to say I told you so, sweetheart."

Dyson wanted to comment, but his desk phone rang. He talked to the person on the phone for a minute or two, then said to Tamsin and Bo, " They've ID'd the first and the second victim, and their names matched the first and the second victim in the original case..."

2:00 pm - Police Station

" I just don't know why someone would do this." Bo said as she read through the case files again.

" Some people are just crazy." Dyson said, " I spent hundreds of years asking myself the same question, then I realized that some people are just crazy." Then he stood up and added, " I need to get these forms downstairs. I'll be back in a few."

Bo watched the wolf leave. Then she turned back to the files. She paused for a while, then said," Well, I just don't know why someone would went through this much trouble to replicate this case..." Bo said, " Look at the handkerchiefs and the buttons left at the crime scene, I mean yeah, they are not like exactly the same as in the original case, but they are of very similar design, similar style..."

" Wait, let me see that..." Tamsin said as she took the files from Bo's hand, " You are right, these are really similar, and the design...it's kinda rare...and they don't look like those cheap replicas you can find everywhere."

" What are you thinking?"

" I'm willing to bet that these were from an antique shop somewhere..." Tamsin said as she picked up the phone on her desk, " I need to make a few calls. And you, go get some coffee for me."

9:30 pm - Police Station

" The tech team found an online store which sells the similar antiques. It's the only store that they found, online or actual, which sells such designs." Tamsin said as she threw a stack of files onto the table in front of Dyson and Bo, " Here are the list of accounts who purchased handkerchiefs or buttons from that store. I guess we can work from those who are local first."

" Yeah, good idea. Maybe we could cross reference those who also purchased disposable gloves and lab coats online too." Dyson said.

" What if the killer bought those things in a store or something?" Bo asked.

" Well, it's just a start." Dyson said, " I guess we should call it a day, and let the tech team do their work."

" Sure. I should get some sleep anyway." Bo said.

" You said it like you didn't sleep last night." Dyson said, frowning.

" Wow, that is so personal that I don't think I need to answer." Bo said.

" My bad." Dyson smiled.

" Why don't I just leave you two alone?" Tamsin scrunched her nose at them before she walked out.

10:45 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" You are late." Tamsin stared at Bo, who was standing outside her apartment.

" Well, you were the one who left me and Dyson alone. He felt that he had to send me home, because there's a killer wandering on the street." Bo said. She closed the door behind her, and pulled the blonde close to kiss her. " You know, you've got some nerves, detective. Kissing me in the precinct?"

" Well..." Tamsin said as she caressed Bo's face gently, " I had a feeling that you liked it..."

" Hmmm...I will neither admit nor deny it..." Bo murmured as she tucked her hands under the blonde's shirt, " Now, how about some work outs before bed..."

" I thought you needed sleep..." Tamsin said, but she didn't stop Bo's hands from moving up.

" I sleep better after some..." Bo's last words were muffled because she kissed the blonde again.

7:50 am - Tamsin's Apartment

Bo woke up when she heard Tamsin talking on the phone. She lay on her belly, resting her head on her hand and looking at Tamsin. Then she had an idea. She chuckled quietly and ran her fingers along the blonde's breasts, sending out some of her charms. The blonde shot a stare at her, but then she had to bite her lips and arch her back.

She grabbed Bo's hand in hers, stopping her from moving and said to the person on the phone, " I'm on my way."

" Is it Dyson?" Bo asked after Tamsin hung up the phone. She stopped moving her hands.

" Yeah, come on, we need to go now." Tamsin said, " They picked up a suspect."

" What? Are you serious? Who?" Bo was a little surprised that they picked up a suspect this fast.

" Yeah. Apparently the tech team analyzed the online purchasing, and found a few transactions with the purchase of the buttons, handkerchiefs and disposable stuff separately, with different names and local addresses, but they were all paid with the same credit card." Tamsin said, " The credit card owner's son was the one who made those purchases. He's in the interrogation room right now."

8:50 am - Police Station

" This is our killer?" Bo asked Dyson outside the interrogation room. The suspect was sitting inside. He looked pale, almost too weak to be a serial killer that brutal. " He looks like a kid." Bo said.

" His name is Ryan, 21, pre-med drop out." Dyson said. He was frowning too.

" Well, maybe he's not the one?"

" We've already matched the hair and the print we found at the crime scene. The CSU people also found a t-shirt in his trash. It was washed but they still managed to find a very tiny spot of blood stain on it, and it matched the third victim's DNA. We also had him on the camera near the crime scene before and after all four murders. Oh and check this out, he dropped out from the school the day before the first murder." Dyson said. He paused for a while, then added, " If he's innocent, then whoever framed him must have done a damn good job."

" Did he say anything?"

" No, Tamsin's been in there for twenty minutes now. He hasn't said a word since we picked him up this morning."

" Maybe I should try?"

" Go ahead."

9:20 am - Police Station

Bo laid her hand on the suspect, sending out her charms. Ryan trembled, like he couldn't take that much charm.

Both Tamsin and Dyson were staring at them, hoping that Ryan would say something.

Ryan kept trembling. Then suddenly, he raised his head and grinned. The look on his face creeped Bo out, because she felt that there was suddenly a different person inside his body.

" I am Jack the Ripper." He said. His voice was more like hissing. " I killed them. I killed them all. I let them suffer. I want them to suffer." He slammed both of his hands on the table, dragging the handcuffs and making a loud noise.

" No, I know you are not." Dyson said, " We have your birth certificate here. We have all your files, your IDs, and everything of you. Jack the Ripper committed his crimes 150 years ago. You are not him."

" I am Jack the Ripper. I am him, he is me. Look at me, look at me!" Ryan's voice became very vague yet loud, as if he had something in this throat. Bo tried to calm him down, or charm him or whatever she could, but she couldn't get any answers other than admitting he was Jack the Ripper.

" He's definitely not the original Jack the Ripper." Dyson said, " He couldn't be. He's a human, not even a Fae!"

" Have we considered multi-personality?" Tamsin asked.

" Even if he has that, there's no way this person is the original killer."

" What about possession?" Bo asked, " Maybe the ghost of the real Jack the Ripper possessed him?"

" We can't rule that out yet. I'll talk to someone who knows how to deal with it. Be back in five." Dyson said, as he walked out from the interrogation room.

Ryan suddenly laughed in a loud voice. He stared at Bo, to the point that Bo almost felt uncomfortable. " Don't you want to know about the fifth?" He said.

" Huh?" Bo was caught off guard. She was not sure what he was talking about.

" When I kill, I kill five of them, no more, no less." Ryan said, grinning.

" Shit!" Tamsin cursed as she stood up. She stood up so fast that she almost knocked off her chair. " I think he's talking about a fifth victim. In the original case, there were five victims..."

" Listen, either you tell us where she is, or I beat the answer out from you, pal." Bo said to Ryan as she sent out more charms to him, hoping that he would give an address.

Ryan laughed. He didn't seem to care about anything at all. He gave Bo an address, then added, " Enjoy. She's the best."

10:40 am - Last Crime Scene

Tamsin and Bo came to an apartment not too far away from the other crime scenes. Tamsin kicked the bedroom door open, with her gun in her hand.

It was a shocking view, because the victim was staring right at them with her empty, dead eyes. She was lying on the bed, the sheet drenched in blood. The blood was already dried, giving it a more brownish red color, but that didn't make the scene more comfortable. Like the other four victims, the victim was cut open too, with slit wounds on her throat. Both of her breasts were cut off, one under her head, the other tossed under her foot.

Bo turned her head away. She couldn't look at the victim anymore. Tamsin pressed Bo's head to her chest and whispered to her, " It's ok, succulet. You can stay with me tonight."

Then Tamsin let Bo go and called the station. She didn't hear Bo moving for a while, so she turned around to look for her.

Bo was standing in front of the bathroom mirror, frozen.

Tamin froze too, when she saw what Bo was staring at.

There was a sentence written on the mirror, with blood. Whoever wrote it dipped too much blood on his finger tip, that the blood dripped from the letters and formed long, thin blood trails on the mirror.

" The Master...says...hi." Bo murmured as she read the sentences out.

" Oh, shit! Shit!" Tamsin cursed. She wanted to say something, but her phone rang again.

" Dyson, hey, listen, there's a situation here...what? What the fuck did you say?!"

Hearing Tamsin exclaiming, Bo turned around to look at her. Tamsin moved the phone away from her ear, and said, " The suspect just killed himself with a pen in the interrogation room."

" Damn it!" Bo cursed, " It's the fucking Qarinah case all over again!"

They both stood in front of the bathroom mirror, silently. They heard the police sirens coming from far away, then the CSU people walking in, then Dyson came too. But for a long time, they just stood there, not sure what to do.

5:00 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" They confirmed that it was Ryan who wrote that thing on the mirror. They had his DNA, his fingerprints, and his writing matched." Tamsin said to Bo, " I guess there's no doubt that it was him who committed the killings."

" Yeah, under the command of the fucking master, whoever he is." Bo said, " Who is this guy? And why the fuck is he coming at me?"

" Like Dyson said. Some people are just crazy."

" Since when do you agree with the wolf?"

" Well, I agree with him on all sorts of things, for example...his choice of chick." Tamsin smirked at Bo as she hugged Bo from behind. She laid a light kiss on the back of Bo's neck.

Bo sighed. " It just...feels weird, you know... Ryan is not the original Jack the Ripper, but the way he talked, like he really was him. Even my charms didn't make him to tell us the truth...How could this be real?"

" Well, your charms are great, but they may not work every time." Tamsin said, turning Bo around to face her.

" Why would anyone do that, I mean?" Bo was still trying to figure out what was going on.

" Stop trying to figure out how crazy people think, because once you put yourself at their level of craziness, they will always win." Tamsin said.

" Fuck me..." Bo cursed.

" Is that a request?" Tamsin teased her. She knew Bo was upset, and she was trying to cheer up.

Bo rolled her eyes at her. She let out a deep breath and rested her head against Tamsin's chest.

" We'll get him, this master, whoever he is, ok?" Tamsin whispered, stroking Bo's back lightly.

Bo sighed. She knew she was just being upset. There was no evidence pointing to this master guy anyway, and even if there was something useful on Ryan, it would take time for the tech teams to process. There was nothing they could do right now.

" So what now?" Bo asked.

" Now? Hmmm...let me see...why don't we order some Chinese, and then take a hot bath together...and then..." Tamsin whispered to Bo.

Hearing the last few words, Bo gasped and closed her eyes. " Why don't we do that first, then order some Chinese and take a hot bath together?"

Tamsin chuckled. " As you wish..."


A/N: Someone had a special request for Jack the Ripper case, so I wrote this chapter. I've heard about this case before, but never looked into it, and I never knew it was this brutal... All the crime scene details are from the introductions in Wikipedia, and I made up the 6 buttons part, in the original case files it should be just 5 buttons.
