For the remainder of the ride, Kendra and Tamsin talked about the op but also managed to talk about Bo's offer to Kendra.
"So Kendra, will you take up Bo to show you the proverbial ropes of love making?" Tamsin said with a coy teasing grin.
"Ha Ha, I'm glad you find this humorous Tamsin, but really, I only said that to diffuse the situation," Kendra covered never taking her eyes off the road. "If you remember she spilled her guts to me thinking I was Kenzi."
"But seriously Kendra, if you are concerned with keeping Dyson fulfilled," Tamsin mentioned feeling queasy for saying it, "let her. She does have a lot of experience in the field."
"And so do you, but I think I can manage him without help," Kendra concluded trying to switch topics.
"TRUE. But Bo was with Dyson and not … Uggg… I…" Tamsin fought hard to think and stopped herself from saying 'thank the gods'. "Bo knows how to handle Dyson and you should get that same edge too. Just looked at it this way, Dyson's been around the block more than a couple of times. Why don't you surprise him …. under the sheets too."
"Tamsin, it's not that easy," Kendra responded a little annoyed, "No offense to you, but Bo is my rival to put it nicely. Even though I know she really means well, I can't seems to get around that fact that she had Dyson and could get his heart back at the snap of her fingers. I know it's childish of me, but that thought keeps lingering in my head. What if I'm not around and she's out with Dyson and gets hurt badly. I'm not sadistic enough to just let her die, but Bo and Dyson rekindling the past? BAD IDEA. At least you have the bond to tell you if Bo is faithful. Dyson? I don't know but all Bo has to do is drop her clothes and with her flawless body alone, the rest is history."
Tamsin thought about it but quipped, "So wait, you saw Bo naked?"
'Tamsin wasn't too dull after all. She may be a little slower, but Tamsin didn't miss a thing either,' Kendra pondered surprised.
Kendra felt her face turn hot but just said all riled up, "OK FINE. YES. Don't kill me Tamsin. I told Bo to dress more professionally enroute to the 69th since normally the precinct dress code even for detectives was a little more stringent. I can't help it if she changed right next to me while I was driving."
Tamsin smiled and laughed, "You mean she was dressed like a slut spilling out everywhere."
Kendra nearly laughed hard but defended herself stifling it, "No Terminator, I didn't say that! I can't help it that she had never heard of this 'new' invention called underwear. Her bodice was so tight that it looked like she could barely breathe much less hide a bra in there. Same with her leather pants which fit her like a second skin."
Tamsin just giggled more, "No, I won't kill you, even without the effects of the thrall. I can feel the thrall when it compels me to do otherwise. FYI she's a SUCCUBUS. Of course she's always ready for action and those items just get in the way. It's ok Kendra. You're my sister and even if she fed from you, you would not have moved her heart like Lauren did. I am glad Dyson is with you and you have his heart. At least if Bo does feed from him, he will most likely remain true."
There was a pause and Tamsin knew Kendra was about to say something unexpected about Bo, but patiently waited.
Kendra finally blurted out, "I told Bo not to fuck Dyson unless she was knocking at death's door and I meant it. I almost left it as an absolute but well nothing is absolute right?"
Tamsin though about this and worked against her handicap and mentioned as a solution, "Then instruct Bo to feed off of someone else, even you, before she moves onto Dyson."
Kendra was a little shocked and glibly stated, "Tamsin, if she feeds off of me, she may kill me and then Dyson is all hers."
"And do you think that Dyson's heart will EVER be Bo's again if she does?" Tamsin said scrunching her face.
Kendra thought about it and it made sense. No.
"I also kind of confessed that I couldn't complete against her. God Tamsin please don't take this the wrong way, I don't play on her playground, but HOLY SHIT , when I took the lay of the land, she looks … ummmmmm WOW…. I normally don't pay any attention to other women, but SHIT. OK, Bo knew I got extremely jealous … she read my aura. That is why she offered to teach me," Kendra let out exasperated not knowing how to explain it.
Tamsin just laughed once more. She appreciated Kendra as her sister. It was weird to have that connection with a human, but Tamsin forgot all about that since she was human herself in many ways.
Tamsin just teased, "So you find Bo attractive? Wow what a coincidence. So do I."
Both sisters just laughed in unison.
"This is not the thrall speaking, but I wanted to let you know that I do consider you my sister. I once told Arin that I trusted her above everyone else and that also extends to you. Hey, as my sister and we share everything. So if you by chance fall into bed with her, it's ok. I know there was a reason that wasn't self-serving or malevolent," Tamsin clarified.
Kendra just laughed, "Yea right, you'd probably kill me if I slept with her, not that I would. And it would be a definite if I broke the cardinal rule you told me about where only you can dominate Bo."
"Kendra, NO I wouldn't in either case. You are my sister and I trust you like I do Arin. Arin made sure to dominate Bo like no tomorrow and even in a threesome with me. I would trust you even above Dyson since your loyalties are to me and the sisterhood" Tamsin huffed out a laugh, "I spent my life not trusting anyone because they would ultimately let me down. Arin has never done that, and you, even though you are a messed up human, well, I know you would be in my corner to the very end. You actually hold my best interests in mind Kendra."
Kendra chucked, "Yea like killing all the effing shape shifters for even breathing."
"Kendra, Dyson isn't dead yet. Either that or you are killing him by holding out on him. Kendra, you have a choice. Let it go. Eric is dead and would have wanted you to continue and be happy. It takes precedence over a promise if it doesn't fit. As for your judgment, it's sound. You may have gone off on me earlier, but I … ummm .. THANK you… for having my back," Tamsin admitted.
"Tamsin, I read that thralls were mindless, so how come you seem to engage me just fine?" Kendra asked curiously.
"Bo must have realized that I was her thrall and she did tell me to treat you and the gang like I normally would. It released the thrall effect in that respect since I kind of gave Chica the cold shoulder earlier. The mindless thralls you reference are ones whose masters put stringent rules onto them," Tamsin clarified realizing that Bo knew all along but chose to respect her by not drilling her on the spot.
"Fix it Tamsin," Kendra mentioned turning into an alleyway. "Beyond this assignment, what are you going to do moving forward since you found Lauren, if you don't mind telling me?"
"I need to spend my time with Bo and we belong in the 39th," Tamsin mentioned formally.
"Well," Kendra stated as both of them got out of the truck, "feel free to drop by ok?"
"You bet. I'll probably see you at our place first though," Tamsin said with a click.
Everyone had their assignments and stayed out of sight. Some of the team went to the 2nd bank site just in case.
Kendra and Tamsin entered an adjacent building in an unused office space. It was already manned by Kendra's team as Chica was already monitoring traffic as soon as she sat down.
Arin and Drake took posts outside the room ready to move as surge support at moment's notice.
Kenzi walked in and took a seat next to Chica taking a station as well. Maura slipped in silently and took a seat in the back of the room but looked at all the monitors with close interest.
Tamsin was about to get worried since Bo wasn't with Kenzi but before she could act on it, Bo finally wandered in looking for someone but smiled slightly when their eye's met.
Even with a smile, Tamsin denoted a sad aura that followed her. A wave of guilt then hit Tamsin when she saw that Bo's eyes were no longer bright but they were slightly bloodshot. Bo was crying over her and it made her feel terrible inside especially after the wallop of a talk she got from Kendra.
Kendra was too busy looking at all the camera feeds but noticed Bo approach both of them.
Bo needed time to fix this but needed to undo this thrall to the best of her ability without releasing it all together. It had to be this way at least for now, until she had a solid plan. Bo got near Tamsin and saw her frown as a guilty expression loomed over her. From that alone, she knew that Tamsin felt bad for doing this extreme measure.
Bo searched Tamsin's soul reflexively via the link automatically, unfair as it may be, but it only affirmed what she read from her Valkyrie's expressions. Bo then heard Tamsin's thoughts and feelings loud and clear. These weren't the feelings of a thrall, they were genuine. It told her 2 things immediately:
Tamsin loves her with all her being.
Tamsin was regretful of any anguish she may have caused her.
Tamsin's heart fluttered but didn't know if Bo was pissed off at her and was coming to smack her or did Bo love her still. Tamsin reflexively used the link unconsciously to read Bo and it told her 2 things distinctly:
Bo loves her with all her being.
Bo was regretful of any anguish she may have caused her.
They moved toward each timidly not knowing how to react to one another but also how to react to people in the room. They paused a foot away from each other shutting out the world briefly.
Although it was seconds, it seemed like minutes when both them finally tried to speak at the same time.
"Tamsin I…."
"Bo I…."
"Sorry you go first," they both said in unison each not knowing how to start or what to say.
Finally Bo grabbed both of Tamsin's hands and just murmured smoothly and caringly, "Things have been happening so fast and I just kept forging ahead believing my way was the right way. I ended up, however, dragging you along thinking that I could lead for both of us and that my way was the right and only way. You did what you did in order to accommodate me and I am flattered more than you know." Bo smiled at Tamsin taking in her green eyes and her expression started to lighted up.
"I forgot that you are," Bo cut herself off knowing that Maura was glancing at them. "you. Please forgive me Tamsin. If we are partners, then I need to be patient and listen to you more. After this, can we just slow down and just be together?"
Bo knew that if she requested or gave an order, a thrall would comply willing or not so she added something to give Tamsin a choice, "Tamsin if it's space you need, I will respect that. Just tell me what you want. Please."
Tamsin saw Bo's expression which asked her in earnest coupled with those puppy dog eyes made her melt. She didn't feel the effects of the thrall and it was nice that Bo requested her rather than put out a demand. Bo knew after all that she would be coerced to respond otherwise.
Kendra and others in the room could hear them still and Kendra just stayed on task and announced over the radio, "Sitrep all teams!"
The response was immediate as all teams outside both banks reported in ready.
Tamsin ignored the radio chatter and responded in kind, "Bo. I guess I am just too head strong to yield control of my destiny and fate to just anyone like you. We don't really walk together, but we do a dance instead. We do it well, but we end up stepping on each other toes … and tripping… every now and then because there can only be one lead," Tamsin huffed out a laugh. "That just means we have to take turns. The music is still playing and may be coming to an end, but we still have time to get it right. I ….. agree.. with you to slow down. Shall we dance?" Tamsin concluded with a huge smile and a click.
Bo just grabbed her Valkyrie into a strong hug and Tamsin did the same to Bo leaping into each other's arms.
The mood was interrupted when Skipper spoke up to all to hear, "Captain, I just got a report from Crinks Security that one of the vehicles they were taking out for a test drive an hour ago from the maintenance bay didn't return. No GPS and no response from the driver."
Kendra's jaw dropped, "SHIT they plan to do a double heist simultaneously! That way if one is foiled, the other may succeed. It would be a bonus if both do. Crap, we need to even our numbers out."
Most of Kendra and team were at the first bank site in a 60/30 split. Luck for her both sites had a Humvee and Armored car as well. Kendra needed all the people here to get to the other bank since everyone else here was already in position.
"Tamsin! Carrot Top is in charge at the 2nd bank. Take over watch and assist long shot. Bo, I need an extra set of eyes on the roof top as well. Do you have binoculars?"
Bo thought about this and responded swiftly, "I have a Dragunov with scope."
Tamsin grinned briefly and blushed a little that Bo got her present.
Kendra was impressed that Bo had one and just said, "That will do fine. Follow Tamsin's lead."
"Drake, Chica, and Skipper, you got ground support to augment Carrot Top's team," Kendra focused her attention to the remaining in the room.
"Doctor Isles, Talan is the medic here, go with Drake to the other site just in case," Kendra stated looking at her.
"I'll do what I can," Maura responded confidently picking up her large medical case as she made her way to stand next to Drake.
"Alex, secure the entrances after they all leave and then you're with me and Kenzi on the comms! MOVE!" Kendra barked.
There was a flurry of activity and when it all settled down, Kendra loaded her AR and stood behind Kenzi and Alex who were at separate workstations.
Kendra looked on at the surveillance screens and warned both, "I hope both of you can pull your weight because an error by any of you will cost several lives."
There was no time to lose when Tamsin pulled her truck up to Kenzi's car. Bo pulled out her Dragunov case and took the passenger side.
Tamsin sped off without sirens and lights to not attract attention. Skipper drove Drake, Maura, and Chica who did the same going ahead taking another route.
"Bo do you even know how to use that thing?" Tamsin teased?
"Kind of, but I am sure I can coerce SOMEONE to teach me. By the way, it's beautiful Tamsin. Thank you," Bo smiled at her Valkyrie concentrating on driving.
Bo glanced down at it. It wasn't so much a rifle any more. It was a work of art. It also had a dragon engraved on it like her Glock. It was deadly, refined and elegant, but not flashy. Like everything Tamsin gave her, it had a sense of style. She adored how Tamsin went out of her way for her.
"Oh you'll be sorry if you choose me. I'm mean, like a drill sergeant," Tamsin snorted and crinkled her nose.
Bo then pulled out of the case pocket 2 necklaces and surreptitiously turned from Tamsin and donned on Tamsin's blue Valkyrie pendant.
She leaned over then pecked Tamsin cheek who had just stopped at a light and asked, "I especially love the fact you even got me jewelry. HOW thoughtful. You like?"
Tamsin noticed right at the time Bo kissed her, Bo was wearing her Valkyrie pendant. Bo gracefully prowled back into her seat and seductively asked her how she liked it striking a pose and wow. It looked better on Bo than her.
Tamsin was speechless how well it fit Bo. The blue pendant matched her eyes which were also glowing blue in addition.
Bo knew she got her and just playfully mocked, "Finder keepers, losers weepers. Does my Valkyrie wanna plunder my temple to get it back?"
"DOWN GIRL DOWN! We're in the middle of an op, special agent. Beside we're here already," Tamsin stated as she parked behind a building.
Tamsin just then talked into her mic on her vest, "Long Shot, Terminator and… er… Lover Girl… on premise. Do you have adequate line of sight or do you need me to take another over watch position?"
"Terminator take adjacent apartment building number 129. Who's Lover Girl?" Tamsin's radio squawked back.
Tamsin smiled deviously at Bo and for Bo's part she just smiled angelically and straddled Tamsin fastening the Xanther Rune back around Tamsin's neck.
Before Tamsin could respond, Bo put her hand on top of Tamsin's hand holding down the transmit button and then said formally into her mic, "I'm Special Agent Bo Dennis with the 39th. Over and out."
"Ummmmm Copy that Lover Girl," the mic blared.
"Uggg," Tamsin said in disbelief as she nudged Bo to go off her then took control of it once more, "Copy Long Shot. Both of us Oscar Mike."
Bo just shrugged and got out of the passenger door and pocked 2 magazines and loaded one onto the Dragunov. She also extended its collapsible stock. Bo just pulled the strap of the rifle on her shoulder and left it pointed down and forward. Her right grasped the handle lazily like it was a clutch. Bo had Drake to thank for giving her the 5 minute crash course.
Tamsin was impressed that Bo at least knew the basics of the Dragunov. Someone must have shown her. Bo was all business and Tamsin has to admit, she looked great with all the stuff she gave her. Vest, Glock and Rifle, it fit her well.
With the help of the maintenance guy, Tamsin and Bo immediately setup on the roof top over-looking the other side of the bank that Long Shot did not really have a view of.
Tamsin signed to Long shot at the next building over giving him the OK sign as well and then talked into her radio. She made sure they both stayed low to not attract attention.
"Terminator to base and Carrot Top. Terminator and Lover Girl in position and standing by. We have over watch of bank from building 129."
She knew Drake and the rest of the team were already in place since she heard their transmission minutes earlier.
"Terminator, this is Forerunner at base. Copy," the mic stated in return.
"Carrot Top, Copy"
"Twitchy at base, Fo Shizzle.. Owwwwww!"
"Twitchy, we COPY"
Bo and Tamsin just chuckled.
Tamsin thought curiously who was Forerunner? It must be Alex since Kendra didn't have a call sign and Kenzi was Twitchy.
Bo was quiet and scanned the streets through her scope. Tamsin couldn't help it but to take in her all in. Bo was breath taking and she was ALL hers. Tamsin found Bo extremely adorable when she wasn't trying to seduce her. It was those ordinary events which were special for Tamsin.
Tamsin shook that thought off and scanned area as well.
Bo saw Tamsin's aura spike briefly but chose not jeer her about it since she needed to get other things out of the way. She finally broke the silence, "So what now?"
Tamsin huffed out a laugh but kept scanning, "We wait. What? Do you think we can just call these bank robbers up and tell them to hurry up so we can get to our dinner reservations on time?"
"Can we talk? It's ok if you say no," Bo asked never removing her gaze from her scope.
Tamsin just kept scanning and just responded, "Yes, we already are."
"You KNOW that I mean Tamsin. Please I am trying to work us out and I would like to do it together. I'm trying to communicate," Bo clarified looking over to Tamsin. Bo was ever cognizant of the thrall effect and tried her hardest to not make it force her Valkyrie unwillingly.
Tamsin felt the thrall pushing her to answer, but at least it was a question, "Sure Bo." Tamsin glanced at Bo and smiled ever so briefly and then went back to scanning the street.
"Thank you everything you have done for me. You have shown me the meaning of unconditional love through your actions alone. And I do love you too Tamsin ….." Bo started out solemnly still looking over to Tamsin.
"But…." Tamsin interjected still scanning through the sight on her bolt action sniper rifle .
"But I can't keep you my thrall. I want you… all of you," Bo frowned.
"Annnnd does what include a bullet in Lauren's head….." Tamsin responded in a flip manner but realized that Bo probably wanted a more serious discussion. She cursed internally and backed up from her sight and rested her head on the rifle butt and gaze down to the ground.
"Bo, I am trying to keep you safe and the family together in the time we have left. You want everything and I am just trying to give that to you," Tamsin exhaled in a defeated manner.
"This isn't a one way relationship Tamsin. If that were so then I'd be no better than a leech. No I don't want you to kill Lauren and all her friends. I know bonded Valkyries are extremely possessive, but you're NOT one," Bo said quickly.
Tamsin never looked up and just slowly mentioned, "Yea, I'm a fallen one, wow, I feel better alre… sorry."
"You're MUCH more than your freaking species. I am still in awe of what you've accomplished in the time we've been together alone. You're a Valkyrie but at the same time you're not. You're human showing the full range and depths of emotions, but you're not. You are BOTH but you are NONE of them since you far exceed anything I have ever seen. You are just YOU," Bo pushed ahead.
After a brief pause Bo thought and commented carefully, "You know Kenzi at first told me when we first got together that were polar opposites and had no idea what we shared in in common. I didn't know how to respond at first to that. We just worked well together. Then I realized that I am a human trapped inside a succubus body. So I too ended up being BOTH and neither. Never quite belonging to either and never finding someone who could relate UNTIL I found you, Tamsin. When you became fallen you took a chance and showed your vulnerable side to me."
Tamsin looked back up quickly into her scope and did a scan but mentioned, "Yea well don't know what came over me to show you my weaker side, but I guess it was a condition of me being fallen."
"No Tamsin. It turned out to be the strongest side of you. You SHOWED your beautiful humanity which you hid from everyone else. You demonstrated to me love and all the emotions with it without falling apart. You became stronger. A pillar of strength. When you did that, I fell for you Tamsin. HARD," Bo analyzed never breaking her caring sight from her Valkyrie.
Bo changed tact, and finally asked, "So Tamsin, now that I healed you, how much time do you have left about?"
Tamsin didn't really want to think about it but was about to answer due to the thrall effect pushing her when Bo corrected herself.
"Tamsin, do you want to tell me how much time you have?" Bo asked quickly following up. She had to rework how she said things to her lover Bo remembered.
Tamsin paused and looked back at Bo and thought about it, "I don't like to mull over it Bo. It is what it is. When I do that, I tend to enjoy all the time I do have with you."
Bo frowned for not getting what she wanted but backed off.
Tamsin saw this and shielding Bo is what tended to mess things up.
"Bo, look at me," Tamsin murmured taking her hand cupping Bo's chin. "I thought it was 4 to 5 days, but I feel much better now. I feel like I am healing once more on my own. So to answer your question, I don't know."
"You are healing again? Did I give you that?" Bo asked not knowing if she gave Tamsin more powers.
"Emmm," Tamsin scrunched her face. "No, you can thank your dad for that … I think."
Bo was about to erupt with questions from what Tamsin could see, so she put up her index finger to silence her.
Tamsin hated to fill Bo in on events she'd rather not talk about but communication is what loving couples did.
"After the Phoenix Ceremony where Arin's body was set ablaze, I was on my way back to see Kara and you at my place when Odin showed up and he asked me to protect you," Tamsin started off.
Bo was about to interject again but Tamsin put her index finger on her mouth to stop her.
"He said he had a vision in which you were in danger in the coming months BUT he mentioned that he didn't need to offer me my powers back because I was already stronger than first order Valkyries from what he observed. Yea, after you revived Kara, she said something bad about Arin deserving it, so I kicked her ass. BUT Odin did say as I was leaving that I should at least heal like a human. I guess that is why I am healing now," Tamsin concluded and redirected her gaze to looking out her scope.
Bo smiled broadly since Tamsin was volunteering information and was no longer shielding her.
"Gods of Valhalla," Tamsin mumbled puffing out, "I'm not cut out for this communicating crap."
Bo knew to back off at this time and she only pecked Tamsin on the cheek and just said, "Thanks, you're an angel," before she resumed scanning the streets through her scope again.
After some silence Bo grinned and just said, "I would LOVE for YOU to show me your bed Tamsin." It of course had a double meaning to which Tamsin snorted.
"And I would love to go clothes shopping with you too," Tamsin mentioned coyly with a tight smirk still scanning the area.
Bo diverted her glace to Tamsin in surprise, "I never took you for the shopping type?"
"I HATE shopping with a passion. The aimless meandering, indecisive buying of things, getting stuff you don't need, and MOST of all doing that crap of choosing shades of makeup that ALL look like the same fucking color. For what? To look good for people that really don't give a crap. WASTE of time," Tamsin said with a click glancing at Bo.
A look of confusion touched Bo features, "But you wear makeup and nice clothes?"
"Oh gods, FINE, I do shop. I brave the hordes and the throng of people that just want to either make me yack or kill ONCE a year if that. I do all my shopping online and get it delivered to the precinct. I just need the shop to help me find a freaking color and sizes that work, I am good to go. I buy it, and … uggg RUN. After that, the internet is your friend and so is express checkout and free returns on your phone," Tamsin scrunched her face even looking though the sight.
Tamsin looked over to Bo who still had a puzzled expression and thought that was cute and she knew another shoe was going to drop.
Bo then asked, ever cognizant of the thrall, "WAIT, then care to tell me why you want to go shopping with me? I shop weekly at LEAST."
Tamsin huffed out a laugh knowing that the babe Fae succubus didn't get it. "Bo, I want to take YOU shopping. We have go and do something about that frock you wear. Also, you know how many times I had to go to that stuck up, snobby, fucking insanely expensive Coachman store to get your vest size right?! It was like I was in a Michael Jackson song since it was TORTURE."
Bo acted like she was appalled resting a hand on her chest, "But I LIKE what I wear. Also, Kenzi says it brings out my eyes."
Tamsin shot back playfully, "Yep, it brings outs the (COUGH) SLUT (COUGH) .. em FEATURES which we all know ever so well."
Bo just nudged her head impishly.
"So how did you get my size right for the vest without me there? … IF you want to tell me," Bo queried curiously knowing it would probably be a good story.
Tamsin just gave up scanning the area since others had eyes on it too and just faced Bo and bust out exasperated, "FINE! I made a Uggggg FRIEND…. That was so PAINFUL and I STILL regret it! She, Megan, still text messages me every now and then. OK. I was having problems choosing the size and so rather than stupid ass guessing I … UGGGG … ROAMED the mall and found a girl about your size that also wore tight shit. I had to be NICE (face contorted with disgust) and make… Arg… CON-VER-SA-TION. SMALL TALK. Gods the things I do for you. Anyway, told her I was getting a vest for a friend, had her try on several and yadda yadda yadda… Yap yap yap… Passport credit card checkout.. make speedy get away… end of story."
Tamsin then just collapsed her head on the butt of her rifle falling limp in faux exhaustion.
Bo pushed Tamsin playfully who was set on playing dead, "Awwww that was sooooo cute Tamsin. Stop! You're making me blush. Since your want to go shopping with me, maybe I can give you a makeover?"
Tamsin just pretended to gag, "Thanks but no. Don't mention it. REALLY DON'T MENTION IT. EVER AGAIN."
"Please?" Bo pouted.
Tamsin just shook her head with a stubborn almost childish adamancy. Bo thought at any moment Tamsin would stand and stomp too.
"I'll try on EVERYTHING you choose for me," Bo offered with a smirk.
Tamsin still shook her stubborn head.
"How about ONLY the items you give me and I'll take off EVERYTHING ELSE," Bo sang out.
Tamsin's will was eroding, but still shook her head.
"I promise to be your VERY own Succubus Barbie. I'll let you dress me and UNDRESS me whichever way you want in the dressing room. I'll model for yooooou" Bo slowly brought her hand absentmindedly to the zipper of her vest and made sure to slowly bring it down.
Tamsin had no idea what to say as Bo unzipped her jacket and hiked up her blouse seductively to show plenty of stomach. Luckily Bo had her back to long shot the next building over.
"Please?" Bo offered again with puppy dog eyes trailing her finger tracing the bottom or her bra.
Tamsin still managed to say in an uneven voice, "No deal."
"Three words, Victorian Era Secret," Bo said smoothly with an evil smile adjusting her half cup bra down slowly to expose some brown. "Imagine all the skimpy teeny tiny things you can dress up or UNDRESS your Succubus Barbie in? Also I hear they have a medieval dungeon section complete with whips, cuffs and chains which you can try out too .… on *ME*. Lauren and Dyson never go that chance and I'm willing to bet you'll go 'Baroque' in just one visit. And I'll be *ALL* yours if you come shopping with me and let me do a make-over on you FIRST."
Tamsin jaw dropped even more and finally flipped over on her back quickly looking up to the sky shooting her arms upwards to the heavens in sheer exasperation being at her wits end.
"Gods of Vallhalla! Whhhhhhy?! Couldn't you pair me with a sasquatch, vampire, ogre, shifter, even a lowly HUMAN… but NO why why whhhhhy a succubus… at least with an Incubus, I'd stand a chance of him not knowing ALL my weaknesses," Tamsin whined.
Tamsin just continued and put her hands together begging and pleading in mock prayer to the gods in Valhalla, "HAVE Mercy PLEASE! I know I've done really really bad things in my past lives but I PROMISE promise promise to be good from now on. I'll behave! PROMISE! PLEASE, this succubus is in heat 12 hours at the start of the day and 12 hours before the end of the day. This is sheer unbearable torment and brutally cruel. I'm a warrior not a lover PLEASE have mercy on me my gods!"
Bo was quick to straddle Tamsin and bending down snaking her head down next to Tamsin's ear and in a soothing voice cooed, "Oh TamTam, I love it when you pray to ME and YOU will be praying a lot more when I turn the cuffs and whips on you. I'll grant you mercy as soon as you say a simple 3 letter word. Remember you PROMISED me, goddess of the new order, that you'd be good. Now my slutty Valkyrie, BEHAVE and tell me."
"GET OFF NOW!" Tamsin smiled with a click. "There 3, 3 letter words happy now?"
"Oh I LOVE it when you get spunky on me," Bo said backing up licking her index finger and it glowed red. "And your wish is my command. Time to GET OFF NOW."
'Shit' Tamsin thought and realized her error, and knew Bo would go through with it as her finger hovered around her neck line just inches away.
"OH Tammy is that your FINAL answer?" Bo dared.
"YES! YES! YES! I'll go with you shopping OK!" Tamsin yelled knowing that a single touch from Bo would make her crest and it would not be a good time.
"Annnnnnd….." Bo said.
"And WHAT," Tamsin spat you in frustrated at the situation.
"Your makeover Tammy?" Bo asked as her finger wavered over her face. "Oh shit Tammy, I can see your aura spiking and I feel how aroused you are now. Bad slut. Are YOU getting wet on me?"
Tamsin just looked away trying to controller herself as well as figure out how to break out of the straddle.
"Oh Tammy. Tisk tisk, trying to escape cus I got my power set to 'BITCH TAMER'" Bo smiled manically.
Tamsin's radio then activated and came to life. It was Long Shot who requested, "Terminator are you having issues with the mount?"
"Ugggggg, come on Bo we got work to do," She tried to buck Bo off but she didn't budge instead she touched Tamsin's nose and like static electricity got a huge jolt of pleasure.
"Awwwwww come on TamTam, you'll be rewarded afterwards handsomely when you make me dress in things that leave nothing to the imagination. NOTHING. I got more words to sweeten your evil thoughts. Blindfolding and tricking me to changing in the store window instead of a changing room," Bo offered seeing her aura go supernova.
Bo knew Tamsin was really close as the visualization took her to the edge.
Finally Tamsin just gave up and just lazily sprawled out sloppy on the floor. Bo just knew her too well, "Yes Bo. You can give me a make-over but nothing slutty. OK!"
Bo pecked her on the cheer and finally dismounted her innocently, straightened herself up and went back to scanning the area through her scope like nothing happened.
Tamsin just lay there finally taking her rifle and looking over to Long Shot through the scope. He was still in a laughing fit but no matter, Tamsin hit the transmit button, "Copy Long Shot. Issue has been resolved. Out."
"Is Lover Girl all set Terminator? Her mount looks solid," The radio responded back from Long Shot.
Tamsin had just managed to sit up and Bo to her surprise mounted her once again and end up face to face with her.
Bo kissed Tamsin deeply and hungrily. Tamsin resisted initially but melted into it. Bo broke the kiss moments later and looked toward Long Shot knowing that she could be seen by his scope.
A broad smile came to Bo's face and in response signed the 'ok' gesture and then blew a kiss and a wink.
"Ugggggg you are impossible Bo. Can you NOT distract the team with your tits and wiles," Tamsin growled when she looked through her rifle scope to see Long Shot laughing his ass off.
They got back into position and no sooner Alex transmitted to all, "Forerunner to all teams as site Alpha. Sitrep."
"Hump day, Copy base. All clear in rear with Humvee, weapons cold and standing by."
"Jane, Copy. All clear in front, standing by."
"On Target, Copy. All clear on over watch. Standing by."
"Copy all clear for site Alpha, Forerunner out."
Kenzi then came on, "Twitchy, setrep all teams site Bravo."
"Carrot Top. Copy base. All clear in rear with Humvee. Standing by."
"Skipper. Copy. All clear in front."
"Long Shot. Copy. All clear on over watch."
"Copy all clear for site Beta, Twitchy droppin' a duce OWWWW … OUT."
Tamsin just chuckled and Bo just smiled at Kenzi antics.
Tamsin just resumed scanning the streets and mentioned to Bo, "You know Kendra runs a tight ship right so don't pull any shit on her like Kenzi is."
"Yea tried that and she almost kicked me out of her precinct," Bo mentioned in a monotone voice and scratched an itch around her neck and realized that she was still wearing Tamsin's Valkyrie pendant. It looked like Tamsin's most prized possession and from what she knew. It allowed her to pass though portals before she was fallen. It did look nice, but it wasn't hers so Bo craned her gaze over to Tamsin.
"Hey Tammy, I should give you your pendant back. I'm sorry, I've gotta learn that I just can't take everything," Bo mentioned reaching for the clasp.
Tamsin immediately responded, "No Bo. You keep it. It really looks great on you."
Bo halted and was flattered, "You'd let me keep your only possession and link to the Valhalla and the one thing left that identifies you as a Valkyrie?"
Tamsin never looked back at Bo but shrugged casually, "It doesn't work anymore for me on the portals. It will work for you even though you don't need it. Also I know who I am. I don't need a rock to tell me that."
Bo was in awe of what Tamsin just proclaimed. Just months ago she cried her eyes out at the loss of her Valkyrie status.
"And you are?" Bo asked flaring her brows.
"Tamsin," she tersely stated finally looking into Bo deep brown eyes.
"That's it? No 4, 1, 8. No missing Valkyrie…" Bo locked onto her expressive green eyes.
"Your bonded partner period," Tamsin relayed with a click. "You are my world Bo even before the thrall. So being bonded is the biggest gift I have ever gotten in any of my lives combined. Frankly, I think I got the better end of the deal."
Tamsin found it odd that she was just talking to Bo about feelings and it really didn't bother her any more. She no longer needed to protect her heart since Bo had it already. She also didn't feel so much the effects of the thrall since she was actually willingly communicating with Bo.
"No, we both got a good deal ok?" Bo reassured. "Thanks Tammy for letting me wear your Valkyrie pendant. I love it. It's like carrying you with me everywhere and a representation of our bond. I'll cherish it. Thanks Tamsin."
"Hey Tamsin," Bo frowned. "I have nothing to give you in exchange."
Tamsin thought about this. Bo had given her so much but it was never anything tangible. Bo's love and forgiveness was worth more than anything she had physical of otherwise. That is why her pendant really had no real sentimental value to her anymore.
Tamsin smiled back and just mentioned, "You already did. Your devotion to me."
Bo had a curious expression so Tamsin elaborated, "I have done so many evil things even back stabbing my own kind that my sisterhood wouldn't stand by my side beyond what they were ordered. Arin was the only one but she was of my blood. I kept her at a distance however to not tarnish her, but you stayed right here next to me and never compromised your ethics and believed that there was a virtuous side of me the whole time. You were…. Emmm… right."
"God Tamsin, I love you," Bo stated overflowing with joy at this touching moment.
"I love you to Bo," Tamsin responded back sincerely.
TRUE LOVE.
This time, the statement uttered opened their relationship and would allow their bond they shared to strengthen.
"Ya wanna wedding Tammy," Bo teased but was half serious.
"Heck No. Valkyrie's don't have weddings. Besides, all the weddings I have seen end up in disaster," Tamsin huffed out a laugh.
"Like the DJ didn't show up?" Bo asked innocently.
Tamsin loved that innocence Bo consistently portrayed. She had an unjaded view of the world and believed that good always trumped evil. She therefore fought battles confident she would win although Tamsin thought they were lost causes.
Tamsin huffed out a laugh, "Nope. They all had good settings, music, food, and everyone was dressed impeccably. No expense was spared."
"So, what's wrong with that," Bo lifted an eyebrow getting curious.
"Well," Tamsin said with an evil grin, "the weddings kind of end up like the ones in the series Game of Thrones. People die and it wasn't due to me or my sisterhood."
"Oh," Bo looked shocked and covered her mouth.
"So yea, no wedding succubus. You're a big enough trouble magnet without one," Tamsin clicked and scanned the area again through her scope.
Bo thought about it and loved to throw her Valkyrie off, "Well we need to be married first."
"Will you marry me?" Bo asked innocently putting her hands on top of her Valkyrie's.
Tamsin felt Bo gingerly place a hand on top of her hand which was on the handle of the rifle. She processed the question a second later and snapped her head to glance at Bo in shock.
"We are bonded Bo," Tamsin huffed out a laugh. "It beats that modest human party called marriages any day. What we have is stronger."
"Well if you were human and so was I," Bo pushed, "would you marry me?"
Tamsin huffed out a laugh, "Bo, are you proposing to me? Wow, Such a romantic," Tamsin jeered pretending to get shivers up her spine, "And the setting. Oh boy, view of the sky, under a gorgeous sun, even a nice cool day. Surrounded by rifles, knives, flash grenades, a light tank, with a division armed to the teeth? Oh Bo," Tamsin clutched her heart in a faux cheer voice, "You shouldn't have! You sure know a way to a warrior's heart. Now all we need is to get those pesky robbers to show up on time, let the bullets fly and explosions rock the area while we say our vows? How can I even fathom to say no." Tamsin completed by batting her lashes.
Bo just loved Tamsin being Tamsin. Her sense of humor when she wasn't being a pain was adorable and hilarious.
"Uggggggg Bo! FOCUS," Tamsin clapped in front of her to snap her out of her dreamy state. "Get your head in the game."
Bo pouted at the turn of events but in the end smiled since she loved to get a rise out of Tamsin. It was nice that they just had time to talk and Tamsin was being open. Bo made sure she asked questions rather than demand answers. In a way, it made them even closer.
No sooner Tamsin's radio came to life, "On target, have eyes on Crinks Armored Car."
"And queue the slaughter," Tamsin commented pointing her rifle down to the road and at the same time her radio squawked, "Long Shot, have eyes on second Crinks Armored Car."
"Forerunner at base standby and move on my mark Alpha."
"Twitchy at base. Move on my mark Bravo team. Standby weapons cold."
"Carrot Top copy Twitchy."
"Hump Day copy Forerunner."
"Jane to base, count 3. Morales is the driver. All dressed as Crinks uniform."
"Forerunner copy."
"Count 3. Matherson is the driver at Bravo. They have Crinks ID badges to match but also have their rifles," Tamsin talked into her mic.
Kendra noted they were exactly synchronized. The robbers showed up 5 minutes late to the first bank and showed up on time using the old schedule.
"Twitchy, have Crinks hold the car in route for the normally pickup," Kendra ordered engrossed in the monitors that kept surveillance in the area.
"On it!" Kenzi replied formally picking up a phone.
All was calm as Kendra held her breath. Both sets of robbers entered the bank and from the bank feeds, everything was going as expected. Small talk, package each was given without die packs so that employees in the bank would not act suspicious.
Kendra noted that for the evening, foot traffic of pedestrians was heavy for Bravo. A little less so for Alpha but still there were people around.
"Crinks is holding the van. Requested for radio silence on their end, Ma'am," Kenzi reported back.
Kendra just nodded and thought.
For each set of robbers in the bank, one would glance at their watch every so often. It was a smart move since the bank at Alpha would call their other bank to expect the van in 5 minutes or so to say there was a schedule change and maybe call Crinks to remind them of the schedule change.
Like clockwork, the exited the building and got in their Armored cars.
"NOW!" Kendra barked.
"Alpha engage targets! Weapons hot!", Alex communicated urgently.
"Bravo move in! Weapon a blazin'" Kenzi said at the same time.
The Hummers immediately moved in to block the exit of each of the stolen Crinks vehicles with the gunner ready to go point dead on at each of the drivers. The Crinks vehicles on loan to Kendra came up the rear blocked each of the robbers in.
Kendra has to admit, Jane Rizzoli had guts. She had the front of the ground formation and quickly surrounded the Morales and team. As if well-rehearsed, she ordered Gilligan to flood the van with tear gas through a gun turret hole in the van. It was over as they came flooding out of the stolen bank van almost begging to be arrested.
Her focus shifted to Bravo though, Skipper and team cleared all the civilians as Matherson tried fruitless to ram his way out. It all ended however with single round from the turret gunner of the Humvee. Matherson was dead on contact. It did however make it much easier to throw in tear gas via the now broken front window compliments of Carrot Top.
"OK have all teams cordon off the area for local PD to clean up. STAY sharp until local PD has it under control ok?" Kendra ordered.
"Yes Ma'am," Alex responded quickly.
"You bet'cha'," Kenzi reflexively said but felt Kendra's burning stare at her and then corrected. "Yes Ma'am"
"Awwww no blood shed. HOW disappointing," Tamsin frowned. "And look I got all dressed up for this."
Bo put the butt of her rifle down and rubbed Tamsin on the back, "Well *I* think I can help with the fireworks and explosions at your place later today."
"Ugggggg. Please find me a succubus that is NOT one track minded," Tamsin teased dusting herself off from the prone position.
Bo got up as well and just pecked her Valkyrie on the cheek and just mentioned, "No I'm not. Let's go out for dinner ok?" She then slung her Dragunov over her right shoulder again pointing it down.
"It still had to do with feeding," Tamsin chuckled adjusting her bolt action Barrett .50 Caliber sniper rifle to rest snugly across her chest ready for action again.
The local PD was already onsite and taping off the scene and directing traffic to relieve team Bravo. Tamsin and Bo came down from the building onto the sidewalk since Long Shot still had over watch for the area.
As they strolled the area together casually, they made sure to not show PDA and keep it professional.
Maura than came up, dressed impeccable as usual but looked at Tamsin up and down and then mentioned curiously, "Did you have a doctor set your dislocated arm? It is perfectly aligned in its socket."
"You can say that doc," Tamsin said with minor annoyance but still managed to crack a smile.
"Bo, I love your jacket. It's a Coachman, highpoint line from this year, size 5-6. Very sheik and stylish," Maua stated feeling the arm of the jacket.
"Thanks, Tamsin got it for me," Bo smiled looking over to Tamsin who she could tell was getting out of her comfort zone quickly.
"That was nice," Maura said sincerely to Tamsin, "I would have gotten one myself except I would need a dress and shoes to match with it."
Tamsin knew this conversation was going to annoy her to no end so she just smiled and informed, "Bo will tell you ALL about it," Tamsin said putting her arm around Bo's shoulder with a grin. "Now if you will excuses me ladies, I need to check on a couple things with the team."
Tamsin nodded and left and in the nick of time too. Maura just kept going on about the jacket as she was walking away. It was then Tamsin realized that she left Bo's question to her on the roof top open ended and even though there was a job to do, seized the moment and turned to Bo and Maura.
"Bo!" Tamsin shouted back to which Bo spun around to look at her. "Yes. I Will," Tamsin proclaimed confidently.
As Tamsin looked on at Bo, she looked confused briefly until she got it a couple seconds later. Then a look of sheer joy washed across her face. In turn, Bo gave back the most beautiful and joyous smile for her. Bo turned slowly away giddily dancing light on her feet as Maura kept the conversation alive.
Tamsin loved to make and keep Bo happy. Not because of the thrall, but because she wanted to.
Tamsin felt like she was going to float away to la la land too, but something bothered her. Something was wrong but she didn't know what.
She jerked and spun around to look at Bo and Maura, the pedestrians near them and the traffic since they just left the police barricade. But everything looked ok. Police were still securing the area, and her team didn't seem to be alarmed either.
A red sports car pulled up next to Bo and Maura and a lady looked like she was asking for directions.
Then it hit Tamsin like a ton of bricks. It was Jane Doe! The thrall had dulled her higher order cognative skills otherwise she would have seen it much earlier.
Tamsin broke off into a fast sprint, cycling her sniper rifle to get a live round but it was too late, Jane Doe pull out a sawed off double barrel shotgun and pointed it out the windows at Maura and the pedestrians in the immediate area.
Everything for Tamsin went in slow motion as she tried to get to Bo but was too far away. Also too many civilians were in the way to get a clear shot. Bolt actions reloaded slowly, so even if Tamsin wanted to spray and pray, it just could not be.
Tamsin yelled for Bo, however, Bo had already leapt into action. Bo pushed Maura away from her shoving her with Fae strength into several pedestrians who were walking into the line of fire.
Tamsin watched hopelessly as Bo burst forward and ran at the barrel to try to disarm it, but Bo didn't make it.
BOOM!
Both shotgun rounds went off with Bo less than a foot away center chest.
The Valkyrie felt the immediate and immense pain that her partner was experiencing in addition to the quality of their bond diminish greatly. All Tamsin could do was watch as Bo flew into the air in slow motion only to crash through a store window.
"Nooooo!" Tamsin yelled at the top of her lungs as the realized she paused her running when the scope of her high powered sniper rifle aimed at the red sports car reflexively.
There were just too many people and the car was now peeling away.
Tamsin only had one shot but felt conflicted since she also knew Bo was dying and every second wasted was a step closer to her bonded partner's death.
