The blonde officer groaned as she made her way inside the apartment, dropping her bag by the door. Quickly & quietly she made her way upstairs, peeling out of her uniform on the way. She was on the swing shift this week, which at least allowed her to be home at night.

She climbed in the shower. Let the hot water soothe her tired muscles. After a few minutes, she heard the shower door open that was quickly followed by arms circling her waist. "Rough day at the office babe?" the brunette asked peppering kisses along her shoulder.

"Mmm..yeah it was. Apparently, I only write tickets to those who pay my salary." She huffed.

Olivia hadn't initially planned to be a police officer. She had followed the path of medicine, but after Afghanistan she was still haunted by the lives she wasn't able to save. It hurt to think and the silence in the lab was deafening. She lost her passion for all things science related. With her military experience, she was able to obtain a job quickly along with having a friend in a high place. Her job now didn't require her to think outside of the box and she preferred it that way. Maybe sometimes she would find herself disagreeing with the methods of doctor show, but for the most part she was content. She had a loving and attentive girlfriend. In fact it was her job as a police officer that allowed them to meet in the first place.

Six months ago she was on a routine call. Someone called in an abandoned vehicle on the side of the road. After doing a routine search of the vehicle, her breath caught in her throat. There in the trunk laid a body. With a shaky hand she felt for a pulse, breathing a sigh of relief when she found one. The brunette's eyes had flown open. In that moment that their eyes met, there was a feeling of familiarity. That couldn't be though because her last 5 years on the force, she had never had that sort of moment with anyone.

Shaking her head she reached down to undo the bindings "Ma'am are you okay?" She asked as she assisted her out of the trunk. "Can you tell me your name and how you came to be in this trunk?"

The girl continued to stare at her, blues eyes open in confusion. "Uh, no...I don't know"

"It's okay Miss…?"

"I don't know that either!" She looked to the officer and started to panic.

"Take a deep breath, " she stated calmly. Olivia didn't know what it was about her, but she felt protective of this woman, she wanted to keep her safe. "why don't you check your pockets for ID?"

"Yeah, sure, good idea" She frantically checked her jean pockets . No wallet, no idea, no cash...wait was that a slip of paper. "Hmm…" she wondered aloud "what's this?" She unfolded the piece of paper. "Natasha," it warned "I will find you no matter how far you run" Signed by some dude named Bo.

Olivia saw the fear flash through her eyes. "I'll keep you safe, I promise." Even though she didn't know her, it in no way lessened her need to protect her.

"Why? You don't even know me? Hell, I don't even know me!"

"You're right, I don't know you but I know how to keep people safe, so let me." She waited a few moments before Natasha agreed. It was something in the officer's brown eyes that not only felt familiar but safe too.

"Sounds like you need to relax officer" Natasha purred in her ear "and I have just the thing" As her hands began in earnest to explore her lover.

Whatever thoughts remained in Olivia's head soon faded away as she gave in to her girlfriend's touch.

~ The Next Morning

"Any plans for the day?" Natasha asked as her partner trailed down the stairs. She was hoping for a day in as they had both been so busy with their jobs. Before she could answer she was interrupted by a knock at the door.

Puzzled Oliva approached the door before opening it. "It's only Evony." She was all about safety. Not that there had been any issues, but still to find someone in the trunk of a car. You never knew what to expect.

"Evony, I'm surprised to see you." The blonde stated as she opened the door.

"I wasn't planning on it but something came up. Forgive my lack of formalities. It's just my concern for your safety."

"Yes, of course can I get you anything to drink?" Olivia asked. Evony had been there for her after she left the medical field and had even helped her find this particular police position. She helped her find the apartment and always seemed to know just what she needed. So when she found Natasha, it was Evony who had been there to help along the way.

"No, I can't stay long I'm afraid. Look, I'm going to cut to the chase. I've heard through some of my contacts that a Bo Dennis is looking for Natasha" Evony feigned concern as she spoke.

"What?!" Natasha lept from the couch. "What does she want from me? I don't remember anything from my past, how can I protect myself from it?"

Olivia moved across the room to comfort her. "Tasha, it's okay. You know I won't let anything happen to you. I've kept you safe this long and anyone who wants you will have to go through me." The determination her in voice relieved the brunette somewhat, but still she held on tighter.

The Morrigan watched the scene unfold with amused interest. It was difficult to hide her smirk but everything was unfolding as she had planned.

"Evony, were you able to find out why this Bo is after her?" Olivia asked with a furrowed brow.

"Well, my sources were able to tell me that Natasha testified against Bo in a racketeering trial that also sent her grandfather who is notoriously known as the blood king to prison. Now she's out and wants revenge. She'll stop at nothing."

"Wait? Bo is a she? That's a dude's name, am I right?" Olivia briefly chuckled to herself. Leave it to her girl to make a joke when it got too serious. It was one of the things she loves about her though.

"Here," Evony handed over a flyer "I was able to retrieve this old wanted poster of hers. I heard she made quite the name for herself in prison. I would consider her dangerous and Olivia? You may need to use deadly force. No one would blame you. In fact from what I hear, you'd be doing this country a favor."

Olivia studied the sheet "She's beautiful." She almost couldn't take her eyes away until she heard the voice next to her.

"Yeah if you're into faces" Natasha huffed in an annoyed manner.

"That's what makes her dangerous," Evony warned "she can charm her way out of anything so keep your guards up. Please don't hesitate to call me if you need anything, and especially if she's seen in the area."

"Thank you, Evony, for everything! I don't know what we'd do without you" Olivia stated gratefully.

"Don't mention it. I only want to see you happy. Just make sure that I get an invite to the wedding" she said as the blonde walked her to the door.

"We're not quite there yet but yes you will definitely receive one."

When the door closed behind her, Evony sauntered out to the limo waiting out front. "Bianca? Be a dear and call the paper for me. I'd like to place an engagement announcement in the Montreal & Toronto papers. Make sure our valkyrie at the police department receives her copy." She delighted in having set the final piece on the chessboard. She had some of Lauren's memories removed and replaced them as she saw fit. With Kenzi, she just decided to wipe them all before she had her placed in the trunk. She could be bothered to think of a past for her as she had a manicure scheduled. Right before she made the call in to the police department. No memories of the fae and the only impression they had of Bo now was one of fear. Sure the succubitch was bound to find them, but it wouldn't be the happy reunion she had heart set on for months. If Bo surprised them, she could possibly meet an untimely death. A human killing a fae was Lauren signing her own death warrant too, and Bo would die by the woman she claimed to love above all else. If Bo actually got them to listen then she will have broken the "One Rule" meaning all of their deaths. And Bo would die knowing she caused it all. Really she couldn't have planned it any better. The only thing that surprised her was the relationship progressed quickly from friends to a romantic one. Not surprising though as humans tended to latch onto anything that felt familiar to them. Pathetic lonely creatures. If anything, she just wanted to be there to see the look on Bo's face when she saw the announcement in the paper. For now though, she was going to sit back and enjoy the chaos that ensued.
