She stared at the dog. "Perhaps we should get you a mate," she wondered. The dog whined. "Stop that. It's a simple deed, you stick it in and it's basically done." The dog placed his paws on his nose. "Stop it Rain, I didn't mean I'll find one now." Rain sat up and crawled over in the bed, placing his head on her stomach. Breathing out a sigh, she scratched behind his ear. "I'm as bad as Raina with her chipmunks." Rain turned his head away, offended. "Right, right, you're much better than them. Sorry."

A buzz vibrated on the wooden bedside table, soon followed by an all too familiar ring. Stretching, she grabbed her phone off the table, unlocked it and pulled it to her ear. "What?" She asked. Rain whined as she stopped scratching behind his ear. "You're spoiled."

"I am not!" Raina bursted. "I'll have you know-"

"I wasn't talking to you."

"Oh." Than the woman laughed, "You're with Rain? It's such a clever name, really, truly brilliant, and I can't believe you're so smitten by-."

"Shut-up Raina or I'll tell Berdine about Woodstock." The woman went silent.

Before a quick mutter of "It was the brown acid."

"What did you ring about?"

"We came across your succubus last night. Berdine knocked her out." Cara snorted and went back to petting Rain. "But that's not what I called about. We're at the lab and Lauren has an idea-" There was some fumbling around on the phone before, "Sorry, they've being talking science non-stop. I was actually wondering if you had any jobs or anything that needed done. I'm desperate to get out of here."

"You hate labs?"

"I hate hospitals and this reminds me too much of one. Cara, please, I'm getting bored to death with talks about core this and fusion of that. Not to mention Lauren's trying to learn High D'Haran and whenever Berdine speaks about it all I hear is blah blah blah." There was some complaints in the background before 'well it's true!'. Raina came back to the phone. "Anything? I'll take working as a cleaner over this, right now," Raina whined.

"Why are you even there, you're not one to follow Berdine around like a lost puppy."

"No. I was originally meant to meet with the Ash and explain what's happening, but something came up and he cancelled - or a minion of his cancelled, and I am now 'free' and stuck here."

"Why don't you drive somewhere?"

"They need the car...I think Berdine's just being a bitch because I chucked her on the couch for last night."

"You were that angry with her?"

"No." Cara waited for an explanation from Raina, but nothing came.

"I have errands to run for Denna. Let me get dressed and I'll pick you up."

"Right, whatever. How long will you be?"

"Half an hour." She could almost hear the woman pouting before she agreed and hung up. She gave a look to the dog, who stood up and jumped off the bed before walking over to his supposed bed and laying down there. "You're lucky that I like you." He didn't look bothered by the comment and instead just closed his eyes. "I'll take you for another run tonight," she said whilst stretching and climbing out of the bed. She'd planned to stay in bed for another hour and contemplate the succubus before running errands...and she had to go grocery shopping.

"Maybe I could get Raina to do that." She disregarded the idea immediately and slipped into the shower.

"You looked pissed, did Lauren do something?" Kenzi prompted.

"No. It's not Lauren, not really. I mean, I see where she coming from and why she's doing it all but..." Bo flopped down on the couch and sighed. "The fae are weird and confusing and I don't get why she just lets them walk over her." Kenzi stared at Bo.

"Maybe they're protecting her or something." She shrugged and went over to make herself breakfast. "Or maybe she's not really human, no one can be that smart. It's a conspiracy Bo, she's trying to lure you to the light with the promise of sexy times."

Bo peeked over the couch. "I don't think that's it. The second part that is. The first about protecting her is a possibility. Then again, maybe she just joined for all the fae-ness. She's a doctor...and naturally curious, this is like a goldmine for her." Bo groaned and rolled over. "Why couldn't things be simpler."

Kenzi placed down Bo's coffee onto the table in front before sitting down in the gap between Bo's legs and the spine of the couch. Chewing loudly she stared at Bo. "I dondt fink yugh wan-"

"Finish chewing, swallow, then talk. I can't understand you," Bo laughed as she teasingly kicked her. Quickly Kenzi chewed the food and swallowed.

"I don't think you'd want life to be simple, think of how awesome kicking ass is, and how when you save the day, people like hug you and give you stuff. And sometimes they do that to me, but I'd prefer if they just gave me stuff."

Bo laughed before hearing her phone ringing in the distance. Groaning she got up and walked over the kitchen bench. "Dyson," she sighed as his name popped up on the screen. Repressing a moan, she answered. "Hey, what's up?"

"Did you kill a fae yesterday?" She blinked.

"Ah no, I didn't, Cara did. With a flamethrower, it was pretty nifty actually." Bo blinked again, this time at her own word choice. Instead of fixing it, she shook her head.

"Cara...Cara Mason?"

"I don't know, I never caught her last name."

"Of course you didn't," he growled.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Does she drive a motorcycle?"

"Ah...there's was one out the front of her warehouse...although she doesn't own it any more - the warehouse not the bike. But I assume that the bike's hers. She's about five feet eight, I think, wears a leather jacket?" Dyson remained silent, "What Dyson, what did I do wrong?"

"She's dangerous Bo."

"I got that. The woman had a flamethrower, you don't think people with flamethrowers are nice people, but she did save my life." She heard Dyson sigh on the other end. "Is that all you wanted?"

"Do you have contact info for her?"

Bo huffed, "and if I did?"

"Then I'd suggest you give it to me so I give her a warning from the Ash, that he's won't put up with visiting fae, killing local fae that live here."

"The thing had taken a child, I'd have killed it if I had the chance, but-"

"Bo. Just give me-" she hung up. Turning, she saw Kenzi peeking over the couch with the spoon in her mouth. She pulled it out.

"We're angry at the dog again?" She asked, spooning herself more cereal.

"It's like, ever since he gave up the piece that care for me, he can't even respect me. He looks at me like I'm nothing, he won't even treat me like a friend and it frustrates me because..." she sighed. "It's like he lost not only his love but his care and respect for me." She groaned and placed her head on the table. "I hate it."

"Men suck," Kenzi said as she lied back down on the couch. "Maybe you should have some rebound sex or something. With scary-blonde, or doctor-blonde."

"Maybe both," Bo grinned at the idea before shaking her head. "No, Lauren's busy today and I don't know about Cara. She had to up and leave yesterday which could mean anything." She sat up and fixed her dressing gown, "I need to kick ass. Save a life or find someone. Do something...good."

"Good because..." Kenzi jumped up and ran out before coming back with a post-it note. "Someone rang about a troll living under a bridge near them. They seemed pretty high but...it could be a job if you wanted to ring back." She handed the post-it note over and Bo sighed.

"As long as there's money to pay the bills right?"

"That's the spirit!" Bo avoided the punch and poked her tongue out. Before long, she was showered, dressed, and in the car with Kenzi sitting in the passenger seat. "Well he didn't sound high that time." Bo shook her head, smiling.

"Just drunk."

"Only...a bit...two, three shots at most."

"It's not even lunch time!"

"People have issues," Kenzi defended with half the enthusiasm, "you're right, he's probably seeing something, but at the least we get paid."

"As long as we're not chasing Big Foot."

"Do you think Big Foot's a fae?" Kenzi asked, "and he really does exist? Oh my god, we could make a fortune from just a photograph-"

"I'm going to stop you there Kenzi, we're not going to do potentially expose the fae. Not only is it dangerous for our healthy, it's dangerous for other people's. Beside's we have a roof and-"

"Please, please don't give me 'the roof over our heads' lecture. I used to get it all the time." Kenzi rolled her eyes and frowned, "Also the 'starving kids in Africa' one. I mean sure, kids are starving there, but so are other people and..." she sighed. "I wish I was just rich." Bo smiled and ruffled her hair jokingly before pulling into a parking space.

"If you were rich you wouldn't be you."

"No, I'd be the rich me. With ski jets, a big house, all the food I could want, go to any music concert...play every game. Dude, I could be famous while rich! I could even develop a sequel to Robot Hookers: Revenge of the Call Girl!" Bo turned and stared at her.

"Yes, well you're not rich now."

"Way to kill the mood," she said before smirking. The two climbed out the car and grabbed weapons from the back. "Can I have the-" she pointed to the sword.

"No." Bo threw her a softball bat and picked up the sword for herself.

"Killjoy," she muttered as Bo shut the car's boot.

"Safe."

"I bet that's what you say to all the girls." She said as she walked through the trees.

Bo, following, opened her mouth, prepared to answer before something caught her attention. The two of them were basically in the middle of no where, just outside the city. The man, who's rang, had sounded drunk but have given them relatively clear instructions of where he saw the troll. But neither Kenzi nor Bo actually expected to find a troll, let alone one running out from the small bridge described by the man.

An arrow flew past and Bo froze. A dog howled and a woman in a white singlet and jeans ran past.

"What in the world?" Kenzi said as she followed the woman. A husky ran a head of the woman before another arrow flew past. Bo turned to see, "Cara?"

Cara stopped, dressed in a red shirt and dark pants. Bow and arrow in hand, she looked at them before smirking and running after the previous woman, dog and Troll. No more prompt was needed, Bo ran. Catching up to Cara quickly.

She chucked a grin at Cara before speeding past and catching up to the previous woman. She almost stumbled when she realised who it was. "Raina?" The woman turned and blinked at her before turning back to face the troll. The dog had darted around and nipped at the heels of the troll.

The troll was about seven and a half feet tall, green, grey and brown as well as covered in moss. The thing could lie against a boulder and probably blend in quite well. It also smelt like the forest from what she could gather.

Bo pushed harder and caught up to Raina, she resisted the urge to glare, the woman hadn't exactly done anything to her, but she'd been there. "Is the troll bad?" She panted.

"Found some kids bones, relatively sure." It was enough for Bo. Running, she threw the sword and watched it as it sliced through the air, between the trees, and hit the troll in the back. The troll tripped and fell to the ground with a loud, echoing sound as he crushed a rotted dead tree on the ground.

She jogged up the troll and watched as the dog ran back to Cara and followed her.
