I'm sorry if this chapter is a little short, I just need to get my juices flowing again. (Yes, juices.) It's still part of the plot and not really filler, so I hope it's still enjoyable. *For plot purposes, Lauren is now working for the Dark.*

Bo sat in the lab of the Dark Fae compound, absentmindedly tracing swirls against Lauren's workspace. It had been 3 days since the Wendigo case. 3 days since Tamsin's death. 3 days since she made her confession.

As much as she tried not to dwell on the fact that Tamsin loved her, she couldn't help but feel guilty for being so uncooperative and, for lack of a better word, bitchy. She'd disclosed all of her thoughts and feelings to Kenzi, of course. The younger woman knew even before she did. Sex was her thing, but love... She'd seen and felt it enough to know what it looked like. Why didn't she see it in Tamsin? The Valkyrie had many secrets, but everyone knew she wouldn't do things that didn't benefit her. Now, everything was clear. She'd helped Bo out of love, whether Tamsin had known it the whole time or not.

Lauren had been watching her girlfriend intently. She knew when something was on her mind. Their relationship wasn't perfect as of late, but she hoped they'd stick it out. Bo wasn't particularly fond of having Lauren around Evony. Something about the woman being a sneaky bitch. Tamsin's death had taken a toll on everyone and she chalked it up to that. Still, her curiosity got the better of her.

"Bo, what's on your mind?" Lauren asked in a concerned tone.

Bo nearly jumped out of her skin when she heard Lauren's voice. "Um, nothing... Just Kenzi..." She lied.

Bo fidgeted in her seat as Lauren watched her face. She bit her lip softly, hoping that the lie had been enough. The truth was, Bo couldn't stop thinking about what Tamsin said to her.

You've given me the sweetest out.

It was so sincere. So warm. Two words that Bo wouldn't use to describe Tamsin. That one sentence replayed over and over again in her head. She remembered the pain hidden behind the words and wondered what caused it.

"You're doing it again." Lauren sighed, coming around to Bo's side and sitting next to her.

"Doing what, Lauren?" Bo replied as the doctor held her hands.

Her heart was pounding in her chest, like she'd just done something unspeakable. She couldn't figure out why, but she knew she couldn't tell Lauren about Tamsin's confession. Their relationship had enough strain and adding Tamsin to the mix lessened their chances of pulling through. She loved Lauren, but Bo felt as though anything could set her off. She would keep her thoughts a secret, for now.

"That." Lauren said, stroking Bo's skin with her thumb. "You're overthinking."

"It's just-"

"Kenzi, I know." Lauren finished. "She'll be okay, Bo. Given what she saw and how she close she was to Tamsin, the shock should dissipate soon. Right now, you just need to be there for her."

Bo sighed, causing Lauren to smile. The doctor was misinterpreting it's meaning. It was a sigh of relief. Was it really lying if she wasn't telling her all of the story?

All of a sudden, Bo felt a vibration against the metal table. Glancing towards the screen, she checked the caller ID.

Dyson.

"You should get that." Lauren said curtly, kissing Bo quickly and moving back to her work.

Bo tried to decipher her expression, but gave up and picked up the call.

"Dyson, hey." Bo said.

"Bo, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have a situation..." He said on the other end.

"A case? Let me guess, flesh-eating Nymphs or good old Redcaps?"

"Neither..." He grew silent, only breathing softly against the line.

"Dyson, what is it?" Bo was growing concerned.

"Bo, Tamsin's body... It's missing."
