Chapter 22 - They Are LLBFFs: Part II

8:30 pm - Gentleman's Club

Jane watched Tamsin and Bo talk to the manager at the entrance of the club. She frowned and asked Maura, " Is it just me, or do they seem really kinda weird to you too?"

" Oh, no, they are fine. They are LLBFFs." Maura said.

" I thought we were LLBFFs." Jane said looking back at her for a moment.

" Yeah, they are the different kind. They are the ones that actually...fornicate."

" For the love of God, would you please just use the word fuck, Maura?" Jane said. She was still watching Bo talking to the manager. She frowned when she saw Bo touching the manager's arm, and she frowned more when she saw a weird smile appear on the manager's face right after that. " I wasn't aware that they question people by touching them here." She murmured.

" Perhaps she's just being friendly." Maura said," In case you haven't noticed, she has a certain charm."

" Yeah I've noticed that too." Jane said, " Ever since we walked in here. She draws the attention from the crowd like a magnet. It's just...weird."

" Certain people are just more attractive than others."

9:20 pm - Gentleman's Club

" Manager says our victim hasn't been here for days." Bo said to Jane and Maura after they finished talking with the guy.

" That's consistent with the time of death. She's been dead for a few days at least." Maura said, " When exactly did she stop coming to work?"

" Six days ago. She was supposed to be here, but no show." Tamsin said.

" Maybe we should talk to the other girls and see if they have seen or heard anything." Jane said, " Although, I guess the manager probably won't let us do that..."

" Well, not if we have a conversation with them during a lap dance." Tamsin said. She turned to Bo and asked, " Care to give me some cash, so I can go get some dollar bills?"

" Really, lap dances?" Bo whispered to her, leaning closer with a smile on her face, " Are you that hungry, detective?"

" No." Tamsin smirked. Then she leaned over to Bo and whispered to her, " But I know how much you will enjoy watching."

" God...you are pure evil..." Bo murmured, closing her eyes. She could feel her hunger spiking, just by thinking about it, and the little bit of jealousy in her mind made it much worse. Then she heard the Valkyrie chuckling lightly beside her ear. She opened her eyes wide to stare at Tamsin when she felt her arm reaching into her jacket down to her ass. " What are you doing?" Bo asked in a low voice, peeking at Jane and Maura who were standing near them.

" Getting some cash." Tamsin said, raising her eyebrows. She pulled Bo's wallet out from the back pocket of her jeans.

Bo was about to say something, but Maura spoke to Tamsin before her.

" Emmm...I highly recommend you not get dollar bills here."

Tamsin frowned, as if she was asking why.

" According to an article I read recently in Playboy, the dollar bills you get here are usually covered in human body moisture, glitter, baby oil, and possibly, treponema pallidum..." Maura said with a serious look on her face.

" Trepo-what? And playboy article?" Jane exclaimed, with her arms crossed in front of her chest, " Ok, who you've been sleeping with lately?"

" No one. Why would I have to sleep with someone to know about an article? I just read magazines sometimes." Maura said, as if what Jane had said was absolutely ridiculous.

10:30 pm - Gentleman's Club

" Ok, this is the third chick grinding on your lap tonight..." Bo whispered to Tamsin as she watched a stripper giving Tamsin a lap dance while Tamsin asked her about their victim.

Tamsin finished her questions, and let the girl go. Then she turned around to face Bo. When she saw Bo's face, she smiled and said, " You may want to get your lady boner in control, before those two-" she discreetly pointed at Jane and Maura, who were a few feet away from them talking to the bar tender, "- notice that your eyes have suddenly turned blue."

Bo took a deep breath and closed her eyes. Then she heard Tamsin whisper to her, " I'll take care of it later when we get home." She said, as she laid a light kiss right behind Bo's ear, with the tip of her tongue licking for a second or two. Bo quivered.

" Damn it Tamsin, I thought you wanted me to be in control, instead you are making me go crazy." Bo murmured.

11:20 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" Well, another night of nothing." Tamsin said as she closed the door behind them.

" Really? Apparently you got a lot of things tonight." Bo said.

Tamsin chuckled. " Is the succulet jealous?" She said as she pulled Bo closer to give her a kiss.

" No, but you heard Maura. Treponema pallidum could have passed to you through the dollar bills you got there."

" Trepo-, ok, I wasn't aware that something like that could come out of your mouth." Tamsin said, frowning.

" Apparently there are a lot of things you don't know about me." Bo said.

" Well, one thing I am sure of..." Tamsin held her tight to her chest, " ...that you learned that word from a hot, kick-ass smart, blonde scientist."

" Shit, how do you-"

" In case you don't remember, I built a case against you. I know a lot of things about you, succulet." Tamsin whispered to her, chuckling.

Bo smiled. " Are we taking a shower or what?"

" Of course. Then I'll..." Tamsin muffled her last few words by whispering them to Bo's ear. The brunette gasped lightly and fisted Tamsin's shirt.

" Damn right you will." Bo said, " And I want my cash back too."

" Sure, do you want me to tuck them in your g-string, or your bra?" Tamsin said, trying hard not to laugh.

11:50 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" Wow, you are really fully turned on." Tamsin said as she watched Bo top her in bed.

" Time for you to learn not to tease a succubus." Bo said. Her eyes turned full blue. Licking her bottom lip, she put her seductive smile on her face.

Tamsin laughed. She rolled herself on top of Bo and pinned her to the bed. " Who says you get to be on top?" She said, lowering her head to give Bo a kiss.

12:30 am - Tamsin's Apartment

" That was...amazing." Bo said, still trying to catch her breath.

Tamsin chuckled beside her, then she pulled Bo closer."See, I do know how to feed a succubus."

" Then you do know that you need to feed a succubus more than once, right?" Bo said, topping the Valkyrie.

" I am fully aware." Tamsin said, pulling her down for a kiss.

8:30 am - Police Station

" We've got something." Jane told the other three after she got off the phone, " Boston PD tech team found this anonymous blog online, which has very detailed crime scene description that we never released to the press... They are sending me the link right now."

A few minutes later, they were all looking at the blog titled Black Dahlia on Tamsin's computer. The background was a very dark colored picture, with a dahlia flower on top. A few pedals of the flower were scattered, while others were still attached. There were only a few posts on the blog, and one of them described the case in Boston in great details.

" How the hell did your tech team find this?" Tamsin asked, frowning.

" Since it is pretty much the same as the Black Dahlia case, they are doing all kinds of digging on the internet and stuff." Jane said, " I guess they got lucky."

" Traced to any IP address yet?"

Jane shook her head. " Bounced around through a lot of proxy servers around the world. They are tracing it but I don't think we'll get a result any time soon."

" This is weird." Maura said as she read through the posts, " The killer of our case and the killer of yours are different, that I am sure of. However, it seems that these posts are from the same person."

" Well, it could be that this blog belongs to our killer only." Jane said, " And how do you know they are from the same person?"

" The way he writes." Maura said, " He keeps making the same mistake on the past tense of the word lie. It is supposed to be lay, but he wrote it as lied."

" A point for you, grammar police." Jane said, " It could be our killer."

" No, not just your killer." Tamsin said, " In the last post, he pretty much described our case too, I mean, in a very vague, poetic way, but it's definitely our case. The park where the body was found is called MetroPark now, but fifty years ago, its original name was Six Oak Park. And look at the post, he said something about the victim lying under six oaks..."

" Wow, you must be really familiar with the history of this city." Maura said.

" Yeah, heard bits and pieces from my...emmm...grandparents." Tamsin said. Then she noticed that Bo had not said anything since they opened the website of the blog. The brunette was just standing beside her, frowning. " What is it, succulet?" Tamsin asked her.

" There are five posts, but we only have two murders." Bo said, pointing at the screen, " Also, there are five scattered pedals, and I think the killer refers to the victim as a pedal in his letter to the police... Maybe we have more than two victims?"

For a moment, there was just this dead silence in the room. All of them were thinking about the possibility that there were actually five victims instead of two. It was a shocking find, yet all of them thought it might be real.

" I gotta go make some phone calls." Jane said.

7:15 pm - Police Station

" Great, listen up, people. Now we have five murders instead of two. The other three have happened all around the country." Jane told the other three when she finished a phone call.

" How come we didn't find out before?" Maura said, " If there are other cases before ours, those police who worked on them should have gotten the letter from the killer, assuming his MO has not changed, right?"

" They did." Jane said, rolling her eyes, " Apparently the third murder happened in New York City, and they got a letter from the killer a couple days after that. Dumb ass intern thought it was a joke and didn't even report it."

" Great, we don't have a clue for our case, and now we have five all over the fucking country." Tamsin cursed, " Fuck, were they committed by the same killer as one of ours? Or different ones?"

" I'm reading their coroner reports now." Maura said as she quickly went through the crime scene photos and the reports, " I'll probably need to examine the bodies for sure, but I think one case, one killer."

" Oh my God, seriously?" Jane exclaimed, " We have five pervs running around in this country killing people, and not a single one of them has left us any clues?"

" How is it even possible?" Bo asked, " Five different killers, and they just happened to choose the same MO of killing people?"

" It could be organized somehow." Tamsin said, " Like they are some sort of pack, or team."

" How did they get together in the first place though..." Jane frowned, " There has to be a way that they somehow got together or something. And someone obviously knows about all the murders, because the person who wrote the blog knows every detail about them apparently."

" We need some clues, any clue, that can lead us to any of the killers." Tamsin said, " Fucking shit..."

10:00 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" I fucking hate this case." Tamsin said as she flipped the case files back and forth in her hand, " I've never been this frustrated before."

" I know. It's just weird." Bo said, " Do you think...maybe it is connected to the Master guy?"

" You mean the crazy perv stalker of yours..." Tamsin said, her eyebrows furrowed, " Why do you think it is connected?"

" Well, last time he played Jack the Ripper." Bo said, " I mean, how often do you see a killer kill people with the some MO from a famous murder case in the past?"

" Make sense." Tamsin said, " But if it is him behind all these, wouldn't he be aiming at you instead of starting the killing from some place far away from here?"

" But it led to here eventually." Bo said, "It just feels creepy, like something he would do."

" We certainly can't rule that out then." Tamsin said. She looked at Bo for a while, then continued, " Are you worried?"

" No...I am just...concerned..." Bo murmured.

Tamsin smiled. She put down the case files and held Bo in her arms. Bo hugged her back, burying her face against Tamsin's chest. She didn't want to worry the blonde too much, but it felt good to have her with her right now.

" See, what would you do without me..." Tamsin whispered to her, kissing her lightly on her forehead.

7:00 am - Tamsin's Apartment

The phone ringing woke both Bo and Tamsin up.

" It's the tech team." Tamsin said before she answered it. Bo watched her sitting up in the bed and taking the phone call. She grabbed her empty hand and laid a kiss on the back of it. Then she tucked herself closer to her. Tamsin held her hand tightly, caressing it with her thumb while she was on the phone.

A few minutes later, Tamsin hung up. " They traced all the visitors of that blog, and found an IP address somewhere downtown."

" Ok. Let's get dressed." Bo said as she rolled off the bed. She noticed that the Valkyrie was staring at her when she pulled up her pants. " What?"

" Nothing. Just enjoying you bending over."

" God, Tamsin..." Bo said. She couldn't stop laughing, " You know, a year ago, I would never have pictured you saying that to me, or to anyone."

" A year ago?" Tamsin tilted her head, " Have we been banging for that long already?"

" Yes." Bo said, " As a matter of fact, we have."

" Well, I may soon get tired of you..."

" Really?" Bo said, climbing up onto the bed. She straddled the blonde, moving her hands down along Tamsin's waistline." You body says otherwise though..." Bo whispered to her, chuckling.

9:00 am - IP Address Location

" Oh, fucking great." Tamsin exclaimed when they arrived at the address, " A cafeteria with wifi access, and it is located conveniently at the busiest corner in downtown. How the hell are we going to find this damn killer?"

" The tech team did give us an access time for that visitor who visited that blog through here." Bo said, " And the cafeteria does have a security camera. Maybe we can take the footage to the tech team and they can match something."

" Are you gonna charm that cute redhair cashier to get the footage for me?" Tamsin asked Bo.

" Well, you have me on your case for a reason, don't you?"

" Oh, I have you on my case for many reasons..." Tamsin said, smirking.

" By the way, where are Jane and Maura?"

" Oh, they stayed in the precinct. I think they are working with Boston PD, trying to find some more clues."

4:30 pm - Police Station

" Good news is, the tech team did manage to analyze the footage we got from the cafeteria, and ID'ed every customer and staff who were in that cafeteria that day." Tamsin said, " Bad news is, none of them accessed the internet at that exact time stamp that the tech team gave us."

" Maybe they missed someone." Maura said.

" Well, they've had multiple personnel watch it more than once, but... I guess we could watch it again, and see if they missed anything." Tamsin said as she opened a video file on her computer.

4:00 am - Police Station

" God I feel like we've been watching this shit forever." Tamsin said in a low voice. Everyone else had left a long time ago. It was just her, Bo, Jane and Maura. They had been watching the security footage over and over again, trying to find anything useful.

Maura finally fell asleep, her head pressing against Jane's shoulder. Jane wrapped her with her jacket and asked Tamsin, " Is there a couch somewhere that I can put her?"

" Yeah, in the break room." Tamsin said. Then she turned around to stare at the screen again.

" Speaking of wifi. Wifi connection in your station sucks...I can barely get a bar on my phone..." Bo said to Tamsin as she moved around in the room, trying to get a stronger signal.

" Yeah, because the fucking IT people put the damn router far away from my office..." Tamsin said. Then she paused, frowning. " Wait a minute..."

" What?"

" The router in the station is actually located at the other end of the hallway..." Tamsin said, " If you can access it here, our blog visitor could also access the wifi of the cafeteria even if he was not in the store at that time."

" Great, how the hell are we supposed to find him then?"

" He has to be within a certain range..." Tamsin said, " We'll probably need to canvas the area, and look through all the street camera footage around that cafeteria during that exact time..."

" More videos to watch, cool..." Bo said in frustration, rolling her eyes.

2:20 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" I think I need a nap..." Bo said after she threw herself onto Tamsin's bed. The blonde followed her. They left the station after watching new camera footage for hours. They finally decided that they should hand them to the tech team and get some rest.

" I think I need a vodka..." Tamsin said, grabbing the bottle and the shot glass on the side table. She poured herself a drink and downed it. Then she realized that she had not had any alcohol for months. Then she couldn't help realizing that Bo had been staying at her place for most of the time in the past few months.

A smiled formed on Tamsin's face. She lowered her head, watching Bo, who was already asleep with her arms around Tamsin's waist.

Tamsin slid under the blanket. The succubus let out a light sigh and hugged her tighter, as if she was afraid Tamsin would run away.

12:15 pm - Downtown

" Why are we here?" Bo asked Tamsin as they got out from her truck.

" The tech team found several people in the video who accessed the wifi at the time the visitor visited the blog." Tamsin said, " They've ID'd some of them. One of them is working in a building here, and it's not too terribly far away from the cafeteria..."

" What about the others?"

" I think Jane and Maura are heading to another suspect, and other police are working on the rest. It's a high profile case now, we need to do anything we can to find this guy, before the FBI swoosh in and take over everything."

" FBI? You mean like...Fae FBI?"

" Well, there are Faes in the FBI." Tamsin said, smirking, " Like Dyson and I are also cops. Come on, let's go find our guy."

12:30 pm - Downtown

" Damn, didn't realize it's lunch time already." Tamsin said to Bo after she talked to a few co-workers of their suspect, " He's out for lunch at some food truck. Let's go find him."

" Yeah, maybe we should get something to eat too. I'm hungry..."

Tamsin sighed, shaking her head. " You are always hungry, succulet. One way or the other."

12:45 pm - Downtown

" Hey, isn't that our guy?" Bo said to Tamsin when she pointed at some guy standing at a hotdog booth on the side of the road. He was holding a drink in his hand, waiting for his hotdog.

" Apparently...yes." Tamsin compared him with the picture she had on her phone. She walked to him, and Bo followed her.

" We are from the police. Mind if we ask you a few questions?" Tamsin asked him, staring into his eyes.

The man looked calm. In fact, he looked confused at first, as if he was not sure why Tamsin was talking to him." What for?" He asked.

" We are wondering if you have seen..." Tamsin said as she took her phone out. She showed a photo of the victim to him, " ...this girl before?"

" No, never in my life." The man quickly shook his head and said.

" Are you sure?" Tamsin said, " You may not really recognize her like this, 'cause she worked in a stripper club as a dancer there. Maybe you've been there before?"

" No, I never go to stripper clubs." The man said, with a smile on his face. He took his hotdog and put it aside. " Now if you two will excuse me, my lunch break is over and I need to get back to work." He said to Tamsin as he took out his wallet to pay for his food.

Tamsin grabbed his wrist as he took a few dollar bills out. " You said you never went to stripper clubs, but you have dollar bills in your wallet, wrinkled and covered in glitter and baby oil..." Tamsin said, pulling him close, " Maybe you could explain it to us very carefully in the station?"

1:20 pm - Police Station

" Is it really ok that you let someone that is neither a police officer nor a detective interrogate your suspect here?" Jane asked Tamsin as she watched Bo walk into the interrogation room on her own. She frowned, not sure what was going on here.

" She...emmm...she has quite an interrogation technique." Tamsin said, " So why don't we just let her do her job, and we just go see if we can find more in those case files we just received regarding other murders?"

" Ok." Jane said, " Gee, I'm dying to know what she can get out of him."

" You'll find out, in half an hour."

1:55 pm - Police Station

" He confessed." Bo said to Jane and Tamsin as she walked out of the interrogation room.

" What?!" Jane exclaimed. It was a shocking news to her that it only took Bo half an hour to have a man confess to something they barely had any hard evidence on.

" He was the one who murdered our victim. He knew her through the stripper club, and a week ago he killed her."

" What-how? I mean, I know how he killed her, why the hell did he kill her? And what's the connection between him and the other cases?"

" That's the weird part." Bo said, " He doesn't really know why he killed her. He said that night, he saw her walking out from the club after her shift. Then he just approached her and dragged her into his car. Then we all know the rest. He said that the post on the blog guided him to do that."

" Wait a minute, the post on the blog guided him? You mean he read the blog before he killed the victim?" Jane said, " That's...ridiculous!"

" I'm not gonna argue that with you." Bo said.

" This is...weird...this is...serious...this is just..." Jane murmured. She couldn't find a better word to describe what she had just heard, but from the look on Bo's face, she knew what she heard was the truth. She paused there for a while before she finally continued, " So he had no idea who wrote the blog?"

" Nope. He just browsed through the internet and found the blog, and then..." Bo said, " You guys may want to notify your tech team, maybe your killer committed the crime for the same reason."

" I need to make some phone calls."

8:00 pm - The Dal

" So, what now? Case closed?" Bo asked Tamsin as they both sat at the bar in the Dal.

" Yes and no." Tamsin said, " We caught our killer, so our case is closed. I heard the dude's lawyer is trying to get him a psychological assessment or something, trying to put him in a looney bin instead of prison, but well, our work is done." She downed a drink and said, " I have no idea how the other police are gonna handle the other four cases though."

Bo wanted to say something, but Trick interrupted her. " You brought humans here again?" He said to her in a low voice, staring at Jane and Maura out of the corner of his eye.

" Relax, gramps." Bo said, waving her hand in the air," As long as you stay in human form, they won't notice shit."

" You two better get them out of here before the hydra over there gets extremely drunk and shows his nine heads to everyone here."

" Oh I'm sure that Maura chick will be thrilled to examine him, and claim him as the 21 century's greatest scientific finding." Tamsin said, rolling her eyes. Then both Bo and she laughed.

Trick sighed. He walked away, tending other guests.

" So, your place or my place tonight?" Bo whispered to Tamsin.

" That depends. Is your pet coming home early again?"

" I don't think so. This time I'm sure." Bo said.

" Well..." Tamsin said, " Then why don't you go home and wait for me..."

" You are not coming with me?"

" I need to grab my uniform from the dry cleaner." Tamsin said.

" Well, in that case, why don't we go together, so maybe you can..." Bo said, her eyes falling on Tamsin's lips, " wear them for me in the car..."

" Easy, succulet. I don't think you want to strip me in front of your grandpa." Tamsin said, chuckling.

Bo wanted to say something, but Jane interrupted her. " Hey, nice work." She said, " Maura and I are flying back to Boston tonight."

" How's your case going?"

" Not good, but now we have better clues to work on. I'll keep you two posted." Jane said, " It was really nice meeting you two."

" Where is Maura?" Bo asked her.

" Over there." Jane pointed at a table in the corner, " Getting friendly with some dude."

" Shit! That's a vampire...he's glamouring her..." Bo whispered to Tamsin.

" What?" Jane asked, raising her eyebrows.

" Nothing. He...emmm...he treats women like dirt. I wouldn't get too close to him if I were her." Bo said.

Jane cursed, rushing to the table and dragging Maura out. Bo and Tamsin looked at each other, chuckling.

10:00 pm - Bo's Place

" Hey, don't ruin my uniform, ok?" Tamsin said to Bo, as they walked through her door. The brunette threw herself against the blonde and pinned her on the door the moment she closed it.

" God you are hot." Bo murmured, breathing heavily. She saw the blonde smirking at her, with her hat tilting to one side.

" Now, you want a good cop, or a bad cop?" Tamsin asked with a mischievous smile on her face. She pulled Bo closer and laid a kiss on her lips.

" How about..." Bo grabbed her tie and pulled her closer, "...both." She threw the blonde to the couch and straddled her. Pulling Tamsin's tie off, Bo heard the tie clip flying away somewhere. They both giggled.

Tamsin wrapped her legs around Bo's waist and topped the brunette instead. Covering Bo's face with her hat, she started to unbutton her shirt slowly, and stopped at the third button. Then she lowered her head and kissed Bo, tucking her hands under her tank top.

Tamsin's kisses moved down with her hands. By the time she reached Bo's core, the brunette sighed in satisfaction and trembled. " You should definitely wear this more often." Bo said while she was gasping for air.

Tamsin raised her head and chuckled, peeking up at Bo from between her legs. " Maybe someday I'll pull you over to the side of the road with my uniform on..."

" God, Tamsin!" Bo exclaimed. She knew exactly what the Valkyrie was referring to, and she knew how much she liked that idea. She moaned out loud as she hit her peak, screaming the Valkyrie's name.


A/N: I decided to leave an open case here, so maybe later I can pick it up and bring Jane + Maura back:)

Black Dahlia was a real murder case, and the case description in this story were from the original case. They never caught the killer of the original case.

Thanks again for everyone's support on Trivial Days !
