Chapter 24 - Would You Be My Plus One

9:20pm - Tamsin's Apartment

Bo frowned when she watched the Valkyrie open the door for her. Clearly the blonde had something to say to her, but she was hesitating. More importantly, there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes. She might be a lot of things, but she was never nervous.

" You are not breaking up with me, are you?" Bo teased her. She knew Tamsin wouldn't, but a small part of her feared it so much that she had to ask.

Tamsin rolled her eyes at Bo. " If I wanted to break up with you, I would at least wait till after sex, Ok?"

Bo chuckled. She laid her hands on Tamsin's waist, pulling her closer. " Then what is it?"

" Hmmm...I was just wondering...Would you be my plus one?"

" You mean like to someone's wedding or something?" Bo was surprised to hear that.

" Yeah, or something. To a Valkyrie ceremony. It's...emmm...something...all Valkyries go every ten years." Tamsin said.

" Do I need to be armed for it?"

" No, it's not a dragon slaying party. You can wear anything you want, succulet." Tamsin said, " Or...nothing..." She whispered to Bo, kissing her on her neck.

Bo chuckled again. Her eyes turned to blue, and she grabbed the blonde tight.

11:00 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" What is this ceremony anyway?" Bo asked after they both stopped panting from the sex they just had.

" It's Freyja's birthday ceremony. "

" Freyja? The Norse Goddess? Odin's wife?"

" Yeah, pretty much our queen." Tamsin said, " The ceremony is not just for her though. It's for all the Valkyries. We gather together every ten years, and there will be a competition."

" To see who brings the hottest date?" Bo teased Tamsin.

Tamsin rolled her eyes at Bo, then they both laughed. " No, damn it." She said, " It's a competition of Valkyrie's battle skills and such. Anyway, you'll see when we get there."

" Sounds like a date." Bo smiled, kissing her on her lips, " So...when is this thing?"

" In two weeks." Tamsin said, " It will last for several days, so make sure you have a damn good excuse to ditch your pet for that long."

Bo paused for a while, then said," Maybe I should just tell her about us. I mean, she's my best friend..." Bo said.

" Ok." Tamsin chuckled, "When you do though, invite me, 'cause I want to watch her head explode."

Bo wanted to say something, but she was cut off by Tamsin's ringing phone. Tamsin cursed and rolled over on top of Bo to grab her phone on the other side of the bed. Bo winked at her, grabbing her by her waist so she couldn't move away. She started to kiss down along her neckline when Tamsin answered the call.

Tamsin shot Bo a stare, grabbing her hands before she moved down. Bo raised herself, pressing her body tightly against Tamsin's. Tamsin almost moaned out when Bo ground her breasts against hers. She quickly finished her call, throwing her phone to the floor. " Wanna get your ass kicked?" She asked Bo.

" Who's calling?"

" A hot chick I picked up from the Dal last night." Tamsin rolled her eyes, " Who do you think would call at this time of the night? Dyson of course..."

" New case?"

" Yeah. A weird arson case."

" How weird?" Bo asked. Before Tamsin could answer her, her phone rang too.

" Well, I guess you can ask him yourself." Tamsin said. She moved down, kissing every inch of the skin on her chest. Bo managed to finish her call right before the blonde's lips touched her nipples.

12:30 am - Crime Scene

" Shit...this is..." Bo took a deep breath when she arrived at the crime scene. Dyson greeted her by opening her car door for her. Bo nodded at him quickly, then her attention was pulled back to the burnt building.

It was a gas station, but now there was nothing left except the empty, black ground with ruins. Everything was destroyed by the fire. A few cars parked in the parking lot were damaged by fire and explosion. A weird smell lingered in the air. Bo had to turn her head away when she saw the victims. They were completely burnt, their teeth exposed, and their arms up in the air, as if they were pleading for help.

" Never seen anything like this in my life..." A fireman murmured when he walked pass Bo. He shook his head slightly and sighed.

" Any suspects?" Bo asked Dyson.

" Well...yes. His name is Daniel." Dyson said as he pointed as a young boy, who was sitting on the side of a fire truck. He appeared to be naked under the blanket wrapped around his shoulders. He was shaking hard, with his arms around his knees. There was nothing but fear in his eyes.

" He set the fire?" Bo frowned, " How?"

" He's an Ifrit." Dyson said, " You do know what an Ifrit is, right?"

" Yeah of course, I trapped one in a magic lamp, remember?" Bo said, " So...why did he do it?"

" No idea. That's why I called you." Dyson said.

Bo nodded. Before she said anything, she heard a car pulling over near them. It was Tamsin's truck. The Valkyrie hopped out and said, " Grill party gone wrong?"

Dyson coughed lightly, and walked away. Bo frowned, because she noticed the weird look on Dyson's face. " What's his problem?" She asked Tamsin, staring at the wolf behind him.

" No fucking idea. Dude's been acting pretty weirdly lately." Tamsin said.

" How so?"

" I don't know. Smiles a lot and stuff..." Tamsin shrugged, " Don't you have a suspect to interrogate or something?"

2:00 am - Crime Scene

Both Dyson and Tamsin frowned when they saw Bo walking back towards them, with a very confused look on her face, like she just heard or saw something ridiculous.

" He confess?" Dyson asked.

" Emmm...I don't think so..." Bo said, " He had no idea what or how things happened here...You are sure he's the one who set the fire?"

" Yeah, the firemen found him inside the gas station, clothes all gone, but he didn't have a scratch on him. They did a blood test, and confirmed he is an Ifrit. The starting point of the fire was exactly where he was found, and the fire fits the profile of an Ifrit too. Only they can cast flames so hot that burn down everything."

" He told me he had no idea what happened. He blacked out and when he woke up, he found himself naked, sitting inside, with dead bodies lying around him." Bo said, " Maybe it's a second Ifrit?"

" No one saw anyone leave the scene..." Dyson said, " I'll check the video feeds from nearby to make sure, but two Ifrits at one crime scene? That's just really rare..."

" I don't know. There's something off about him..." Bo said as she looked at the boy.

" What do you mean?" Tamsin asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

" The way he reacts to my charms, it's like he is a human." Bo said, " He has no resistance to my charms at all. Are you sure he's Fae?"

" Well, blood test is 100% accurate. He tested positive for Ifrit, which means genetically, he's an Ifrit. Although..." Dyson paused, like something just occurred to him. He hesitated for a second or two, before he continued, " I couldn't smell Fae on him at all... Ifrits usually can't fake their smell, because the mixed scent of sulfur and mercury was just too strong."

" Wait a minute, so what you two were saying was, he is an Ifrit, but he is not an Ifrit?" Tamsin asked.

" Ya." Bo nodded, " I have no idea why."

" Neither do I." Dyson shook his head.

8:30 am - Police Station

" Are you still seeing...emmm...that hot chick you hooked with at the Dal?" Dyson asked Tamsin as they were filing paperwork.

" Huh?" Tamsin raised her head, staring at him. She held her cellphone in her left hand, texting, her right hand writing on the paper.

Dyson pointed at her cellphone, " Texting much lately?"

" Hey, none of your fucking business..." Tamsin shot a stare at him, as she lowered her hand to put down her phone. She sat there for a while, then she thought maybe she should just tell Dyson about her and Bo, since he was her partner, and pretty much her closest buddy too. " Look, Dyson, I-"

Dyson stopped her when his phone rang. He answered it. Then he said, " The reports are back. They confirmed that he was the one who caused that fire."

" How can they be so sure?" Bo's voice came from behind him.

" Apparently an Ifrit lights a fire by releasing some flammable chemical in the air, then adds extremely high heat, and then you've got a big fire. According to the tech guys, the chemicals mainly contain sulfur and mercury, and a few other things, but the contents are unique for each Ifrit. So by analyzing what each chemical is and its percentage, they can build a profile of the ignition signature of an Ifrit and compare it with what they got from the report of the crime scene..."

" Dude you are giving me a headache right now..." Tamsin complained.

" So basically it's definitely him." Bo asked.

" Yes." Dyson said, " We've already interrogated him. Like you said, he had absolutely no idea what happened there, or what Faes are."

" Here are his files. Parents deceased, foster home one after another. He ran away from his last foster home, and has probably been living on the street since." Tamsin said, taking a thick file folder out from her drawer and throwing it to Bo, " Feel free to read it yourself. Anyway, he's our guy, case closed."

" Don't you think we should dig a little deeper, and find out why he did it, detective?"

Tamsin rolled her eyes at Bo. " I'm sorry, since when do I follow orders from you?"

" He could have been forced or something." Bo said, " Something's off about this case..."

They stared at each other for a few seconds, then they both turned to Dyson, as if they were waiting on his decision.

" Well, I agree with Bo. If, by any chance, someone is behind this, we can't afford to let this case slip right now."

Tamsin sighed, shaking her head. " God, like I don't already have enough cases on my fucking desk..."

10:40 am - Tamsin's Apartment

" Nice strategy there to disagree with me, so the wolf wouldn't find out about us, huh?" Bo said as she closed the door.

" Well, I try." Tamsin leaned over to give her a kiss, " Although, I probably should tell him about this..."

" When you do, be sure I'm there too. I'd like to see how far Dyson's jaw can drop."

Tamsin chuckled, " Well, not now, succulet. We need to solve this case...or whatever..."

" Ok. Case file reading then?"

10:55 am - Tamsin's Apartment

Tamsin rested her head on Bo's lap while Bo was reading the case files. Bo curled a lock of her blonde hair on her index finger and kept playing with it. Tamsin caressed her hand, leaning over to lay a kiss on it.

Bo smiled, lowering her head to kiss her on her lips. Then she straightened herself up and went back to reading the file, with Tamsin's hand in hers, her fingers caressing it lightly.

" You know, if we get any more lovey-dovey, I'm gonna go kill myself..." Tamsin murmured. As a Valkyrie, she was never used to moments like this, the things she had done with Bo was way beyond what she thought she ever could have done.

" Yeah, you say that all the time..." Bo chuckled.

" Any findings on the files?"

" I'm not so sure...this kid's life is really miserable." Bo said, " His birth parents died when he was five, some sort of chemical poisoning. Then..." Bo paused for a while, then continued, " Hmmm...listen to this...the first foster home he stayed at, exploded. Apparently some old gas pipe leak or something. Then the second...burnt down. The third was ok, so was the fourth one. After staying at the fourth one for about a week, he just ran away and has been living on the streets since then."

" Both incidents are connected with fire." Tamsin said, sitting up, " I bet he started them."

" But why? That kid doesn't even know he's Fae. I mean, how could any Fae not know he's a Fae?"

" You didn't know when you were a kid." Tamsin said, staring at Bo.

" Well yeah, I didn't know what I was, but I did know that I could kill people by sucking them dry." Bo said, " But when I talked with him, he had no idea about his ability, or anything like that. He acted exactly the same as any other normal human kid under my charms."

" Maybe that kid has a crush on you, and that's why he can't resist your charms."

Bo rolled her eyes at her, " Not everyone has a crush on me like you, Ok?"

Tamsin laughed, pulling Bo's face close to give her a kiss.

" So, I guess we start from the foster homes?"

" Sure, since the first two were burnt down, I'll pull the case files from the system, and tell the wolf to go visit, see if his nose can pick up anything. We can go visit the other two."

1:30 pm - Foster Home 3

" Daniel is a sweet kid..." The mother of the third foster home told Tamsin and Bo as she took out sheets of freshly baked cookies from the oven.

" So you remember him?" Bo asked. Those cookies smelled really nice to her, and she tried not to drool over them.

" Of course, he's such a good kid." The lady said proudly.

" When he stayed here, anything weird happened?"

" What do you mean?" The lady frowned.

" Like...something related to fire, explosion or anything like that?"

" Oh, nonsense, he would never do such things. He may not be a very outgoing kid, but he has a good, warm heart, always there looking after those who are younger than him."

" May I ask, why he left?"

Hearing Bo's question, the lady sighed, as if she didn't really want to talk about it. " One day the government people came, said that they found his grandparents who lived in another state. So they took him to them...then, they passed away after a couple of years, by then I had too many kids, and they had to put him somewhere else..." She sighed again, " I wish he didn't have to go, because he seemed really happy here."

" Any kids here know him before?"

" No, those who knew him have all left." The lady shook her head. Then she showed them some old photos of him with some other children, and told them some stories about him, but none of them were related to what Tamsin and Bo were looking for, so they decided to leave.

Before they walked out the door, the lady stopped them. She stood there, hesitating, with her eyebrows frowning. " Emmm...detectives, can I ask why you are asking about Daniel? Is he Ok?"

" Yeah." Bo immediately answered, " He's good. He's fine. He's just...a person of interest in a case we are working on right now."

" Ok." The lady let out a deep breath, " Whatever you think he has done, he didn't do it, because I know him. He would never harm anyone."

" Good to know." Tamsin said.

2:10 pm - Outside the House

" Where did you get this?" Bo asked when Tamsin handed her a cookie. It still felt warm.

" Emmm...in there?" Tamsin pointed at the house.

" Since when do you steal cookies from a nice old lady?" Bo said, frowning.

" Well, if I had asked, she'd have given them to me anyway, so why bother?" Tamsin smirked.

Bo rolled her eyes. She took a bite and let out a sigh of satisfaction. " How did you even know I wanted this?"

" Well...I do know a thing or two about you, succulet." Tamsin whispered to her, " Every time you are hungry for something, you get this puppy eyed look..."

Bo smiled. " Do I?"

" Oh, believe me." Tamsin replied, " I've seen it quite enough, really."

3:05 pm - Foster Home 4

" Daniel...yeah...I remember him..." The father said to Bo and Tamsin, when he tried to gather all the kids for a story time.

" Could you tell us more about him?"

" Emmm...not much really. He'd only been here for like a week, before he disappeared. Actually I'm relieved that you guys found him. Is he Ok?"

" Yeah he's fine." Bo said, " He's ...emmm...kinda connected to one of our cases."

" He...emmm...he is not involved in something bad, is he?"

" Why do you ask?" Tamsin frowned.

" It's just...he ran away and disappeared, I kept thinking of the worst that might happen to him, you know."

" Yeah, do you know why he ran away?"

" No...I mean...I don't know..."

" Something's bothering you...what is it?" Bo asked.

" A few days before he left, there was this little incident..."

" Care to elaborate on this incident?" Tamsin repeated, her eyes staring at him.

" Daniel and a couple of other kids were in the back yard. Then the storage cabin in the back yard just burst into fire...luckily no one got hurt."

" So...who set the fire?"

" No idea. Kids were terrified. Daniel was passed out when I found him..."

" You think that's why he left?"

" That's the only bad thing that happened here before he left..." He said, " Would you excuse me, kids need me for their story time."

" Mind if we walk around a little?" Bo asked.

" No, not at all."

2:30 pm - Backyard

" You think we can find something here?" Bo asked Tamsin as they walked around in the backyard, " He ran away like two years ago. Even if there had been something here, it couldn't still be there after two years, right?"

" You never know." Tamsin said, looking around. The storage cabin looked new. There were still some burn marks on the trees right beside it, but they found nothing useful.

When they were about to leave, Bo saw a piece of clothing disappearing behind the corner of the house. She frowned and motioned her head towards that direction. Tamsin and her rushed to the corner.

A young girl was hiding behind the wall. She panicked when she saw Bo and Tamsin, and dropped something she had been holding from her hand. Bo picked it up, and realized it was a video camera, and it was still on.

" I...I'm sorry..." The girl looked nervous, and a little scared. She stared at Bo and Tamsin, her hands pulling at the corner of her jacket.

" It's ok." Bo smiled at her, giving her the camera back," What's your name?"

The girl seemed to be comparing the cold woman with the badge on her belt, to the brunette lady with the smile on her face. She smiled at Bo and said," Katie." Tamsin rolled her eyes at both of them.

" Katie, why are you video taping us?"

" 'Cause I'm making my own documentary movie." Katie smiled again. It seemed that she was happy to talk about her movie.

" That's cool." Bo nodded, " Maybe you want to show us your movie?"

" You want to watch my movie?" Katie said, her face lighting up.

" As many as you have." Bo said.

3:00 pm - Katie's Room

Bo and Tamsin looked around in Katie's room as the young girl looked for chairs for them, but there were only two chairs.

" She'll sit with me." Tamsin smirked at Katie, grabbing Bo's waist and putting her on her lap. Bo was totally caught off guard by Tamsin's invitation, before she realized it, she fell into the Valkyrie's warm, firm embrace. She blushed a little, however, she liked it.

" Oh, cool." Katie nodded, sitting down on the other one. She turned on her computer and played her videos for them. They were all about her school, her foster family, other kids, and everything else she did or saw daily.

" How long have you been taking this footage for your documentary?" Tamsin asked.

" Three years and two months." Katie said," I started it when I got here. Papa bought me this camera as my welcoming gift."

" So you've been here more than three years now..." Bo said, " Do you know a boy named Daniel? He was here like two years ago, only stayed for a week or so?"

" I don't know...I don't really get along with other...people..." Katie said. A frustrated look appeared on her face.

" That's ok." Bo said to her, trying to cheer her up, " Do you remember two years ago, the storage cabin in the backyard caught on fire?"

A scared look flashed through Katie's face. She went silent and turned her head away.

" You were there, weren't you?" Tamsin said.

Katie paused for a long time, but eventually she shook her head.

" Did you see what happened that day?" Tamsin said, " 'Cus your window is facing the backyard."

Katie nodded. " It was Jared..." She said.

" Jared? Who's Jared?"

" He left here last month. He...emmm...he was the oldest one here. He was there when the fire started."

" He started the fire?"

" No...I mean...I don't know." Katie said, " I heard someone screaming outside, so I grabbed my camera and opened the window."

" And you videotaped the whole thing?"

" As much I could. When I started shooting, the fire had already started, but I know it was Jared."

" Why are you so sure?" Bo frowned, and so did Tamsin. Both of them knew that it was Daniel who burnt the place down.

" He's...he's..." Katie muttered.

" He was the bully when he was here, wasn't he?" Tamsin asked. From the look on Katie's face, she could tell the young girl was scared of him.

Katie nodded, and she looked a little surprised, as if she was asking why Tamsin would know.

Tamsin shook her head, rolling her eyes. " Do you still have that footage? Can we see it?"

" Yeah, of course. I keep all my videos." Katie found the video and played it for them.

They could tell how scared Katie was by the shaking of the camera. The storage cabin burnt like a torch. Kids were screaming in the backyard, running towards the house. Daniel was lying on the ground, and he was not moving. There was a little kid sitting beside him, crying. A teenage boy was fleeing. He looked scared. Then he raised his face and faced the camera. He frowned at Katie, as if he was threatening her.

" Have you showed this to other people?" Tamsin asked.

" No. Jared told me if I ever told anyone about this, I'm dead, so I never showed it to anyone."

" Can we have a copy of this?"

" Emmm...sure, but please, don't tell anyone, Ok?" Katie said as she looked at Tamsin, her eyes begging.

Tamsin nodded. " You have my word."

5:00 pm - Police Station

Dyson was already there when Bo and Tamsin got back with the video. He smiled at them when he saw them walking in together. Tamsin frowned at him. She noticed that Dyson had been acting kinda weird lately, but she couldn't figure out why.

" I've gone through the files of the two foster homes that were burnt. Both of them match Daniel's ignition signature." Dyson said, " I did a background check on them. Both of them had child abuse reported..."

" Wait a minute...child abuse...bully..." Tamsin murmured. She quickly grabbed Daniel's personal files and went through a few pages before she continued, " His birth father was arrested a couple times for domestic violence, but his mother dropped the charges. And they both died from...high doses of mercury inhaled...Wanna bet it was the chemical he released from his body?"

" So...?"

" Every time there was abuse, he snapped and burnt down things..." Tamsin said, " Maybe that's the pattern..."

" Ok, that makes sense. But..." Dyson said, " That doesn't explain why he couldn't remember anything about any of the incidents."

" Maybe it's one of those...PTSD things." Bo said, " He was traumatized that he couldn't remember any of it."

" Yeah, but that still doesn't explain why he doesn't smell like one, nor does he react to your charms like one." Dyson said to Bo.

8:00 pm - Police Station

" So, just the two of us here watching stuff?" Bo said to Tamsin, sitting on her lap.

" Yeah, except that this stuff is not a romance movie, but the enhanced video tape of that fire." Tamsin smirked, pulling Bo closer to give her a kiss.

" That can be arranged...if you want to watch a romance movie with me." Bo chuckled, kissing her back.

" Hell no! How about some action movies with lots of gun fights and hot chicks?" Tamsin said, caressing Bo's face.

Bo laughed, hugging Tamsin tight.

" Alright, crime solving time." Tamsin pulled back a little, turning Bo around on her lap. She put her arms around Bo's waist. Before she started to play the video, she laid a kiss on the back of Bo's neck.

They were able to see people's faces much clearer this time, especially for the beginning part where the camera was really shaky. Daniel was still standing in the very beginning of the video, but he fell on the ground unconscious soon after.

" This Jared kid, I think I've seen him somewhere..." Bo said as she picked up all the case files and started to look through them. Tamsin continued watching the video while she held her hand and caressed her fingers.

" There he is!" After a while, Bo exclaimed, " You are not gonna believe this... Jared is one of the over cooked fries in that gas station fire..."

Tamsin raised her eyebrows, " Well, actually it makes sense. If abuse was the catalyst for Daniel to lose control and burn things, it's not weird at all when he saw the bully and he just snapped..."

" So you mean this is like..."

" Dissociative Identity Disorder." Tamsin murmured. She paused the video and pointed it out to Bo, " Look, before he fell, he was a lefty, but I'm pretty sure Daniel is not. Also...see how the facial expression on his face changes? The way he looked at Jared before he passed out, and the way he looked at people when we found him at the burnt down gas station... Totally different . "

" So you think he has multiple personalities?" Bo said, " Well, not the craziest theory I've ever heard, but don't you need a psychiatrist to assess that?"

" Even if he is, that still doesn't explain why Dyson couldn't smell him, or the way he reacts to your charm..."

" So what do we do now?"

" Probably let a psychiatrist assess him first or something. I don't know, I'll talk to Dyson tomorrow."

" So we just go home?"

" I'm gonna go through the files again tonight, and file some reports." Tamsin said as she kissed Bo on her cheek, " You can go though."

" Can I stay?"

" You want to stay? Aren't you tired?"

" Well, you can always juice me up..." Bo said, unbuttoning Tamsin's shirt.

10:30 am - Police Station

" Our suspect is here." Dyson told Bo, " And he wants to speak to you."

" What? Why?" Bo was surprised, " I'm not even a cop."

" No idea." Dyson said, " Tamsin and I will be outside. Just talk to him, see what he wants, Ok?"

" Ok, I guess." Bo murmured.

10:35 am - Interrogation Room

" You want to talk to me?" Bo asked the young boy when she sat down in front of him.

" Yes." Daniel smiled at her. Bo frowned, because that smile was so confident and calm. She paused there for a second or two, then she handed him a pen. Daniel was a little confused, but he still took it, with his left hand.

" You are not him, are you?" Bo said, crossing her arms in front her chest, " You are...the other personality."

Daniel smiled again. " You can't prove that." He said.

" No, I can't." Bo said coldly, " Why did you set those fires?"

" To kill those who tortured us?" Daniel huffed out a laugh.

" So there are more than one person... in there." Bo pointed at him.

" You can never prove that." Daniel smiled again, this time, mockingly.

" Your father abused you?"

" He couldn't have laid a single finger on me, even if he wanted to. It was the dumb ass woman who got abused."

" You mean your birth mother."

"... She cried and cried and cried every night. One night I walked to their bedroom, and pointed a gun at his head. She screamed, and took it from me. Why? Why couldn't she just blow his head right open?" Daniel exclaimed.

" So you killed him, but why kill your mother too?"

" Because she was too weak. She didn't deserve to live. He told me that only the strongest deserve to live."

" He? Your father?"

Daniel laughed. " You don't know anything, do you?"

" Are we doing riddles here? 'Cause if we are, I'm outta here." Bo said. Somehow she found Daniel's attitude very annoying. " So you burnt down the foster care because of the abuse too?"

" They screamed, just like that dumb ass woman before she died. Then this smell...quite pleasant smell actually, reminds me of a delicious pot roast recipe, you know..."

" But you didn't burn the last foster care you stayed in, why?"

Daniel didn't answer her. His face distorted, as if he was enraged about something. " The stupid kid who shared my body was too strong back then."

" Can I talk to him?"

" No, he's not here right now." Daniel said.

" Does he know that you can burn things?"

" He has no idea." Daniel chuckled, " Because he can't do shit. He's only five years old."

" What do you mean?" Bo was confused.

" When we were five years old, we met him. He created me, and let me know I have this great gift, this amazing power...But that stupid kid has stayed a five years old ever since. He doesn't have Fae powers, and he doesn't act like a Fae either."

" Wait a minute...who created you?"

Daniel chuckled. He didn't answer Bo.

" And how can that be possible? I mean, he doesn't act like a Fae, so he doesn't smell like a Fae either?"

" Once he told me, a mind is a powerful thing. If you believe in something, it will become true. The stupid kid believes that he's a human, so he's just a human."

" Who is he? Who created you?" Bo asked.

Daniel didn't answer her question, instead he said, " Thanks for the pen, by the way."

" Huh?" Bo frowned. Before she could figure out what he meant by that, Daniel stabbed his temple with the pen.

" The Master..." Bo murmured, with her eyes open wide. She felt a chill go up her spine and her heart began to race. She didn't know what to do. She saw blood coming out from Daniel's head. She saw him twitching. She saw him open his eyes wide and stop breathing. But she couldn't do anything, she just watched everything happen, as if it was a slow motion movie. She heard no sound, nor did she make any. She numbly watched Dyson and Tamsin rushing in. Dyson pulling out his phone and urgently calling someone. Tamsin putting her arms under her own and dragging her out of the interrogation room. And the only that was actively going through Bo's mind, was the Master.

5:00 pm - Tamsin's Apartment

" You Ok?" Tamsin asked Bo. They were both on her couch, she had the succubus in her arms tight. Bo hadn't talked much since they got back from the police station.

" Yeah I'm fine..." Bo said. She closed her eyes and buried herself closer to the blonde. The warm, soft skin of the Valkyrie's warmed her.

" Hey, one day we'll get him, Ok?" Tamsin caressed her back, kissing her on her forehead.

Bo didn't say anything. She just sighed and hugged the blonde tighter.
