A/N: Thank you all for continuing to follow this story, and for taking the time to review!
"Wait, wait!" Bo said wincing from the grip that Lauren had on her arm. "You can't do this!"
"I can and I will. I can easily make this look like a struggle. Who do you think that they're going to believe? Hmm...a police officer or a convict who just so happens to have a vendetta against my girlfriend?" She stated in a low voice. "No one is going to take her from me." She pressed the gun further against her ribs to emphasize her point.
As much it as it stung Bo to hear the world girlfriend, she focused on the other one that stood out.
"Convict? What the hell are you talking about it?!" She tried to turn around but her arm was cranked higher at her attempt.
"Do you think you could not break my arm?"
Watching the scene unfold, Natasha knew she had to do something before it escalated further.
"Liv, it's okay." She said as she slowly approached the blonde. "I don't think she's here to hurt us despite what Evony said." The look that had been in Bo's eyes did not speak of mal intent, but of relief and happiness.
"Evony?!" Bo seethed. "I will make that bitch pay for this!"
"You expect me to believe she's not a danger with her threatening my friend?" She asked in disbelief.
"Friend? Wow, she must have really done a number on you! The leader of the dark…"
"I'm just saying that there's maybe more to the story than what we've been told." Natasha interrupted unknowingly saving Bo from breaking the infamous One Rule.
"My interest is in keeping you safe! How do we know that she isn't the one who put you in the trunk?"
"Trunk? Someone put you in a trunk?!" Bo couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Trust me, babe. Remember no matter what right?" Natasha pleaded with her lover.
"She's right, Olivia." Dyson said he slowly approached the trio.
"And who the hell are you?"
"I'm Detective Thornwood and this is my partner Tamsin." He said motioning to the tall blonde who stood behind him taking in the scene.
"I promise you the woman you have on the floor is of no threat to you or anyone here."

Putting away her cell phone Tamsin saw the looks around her and asked "What? Like this isn't some funny shit?"
"Tamsin, I swear to…" Bo started before she felt a weight change on her back.
Putting her personal arm back in her waistband Olivia said "Stay still. I'm going to lift you up, and you can stand once you have your feet under you. Try anything and I will not hesitate. Do you understand?"
She spoke with such authority that if the circumstances were different Bo might actually have enjoyed it.
"Yeah, I got it." Bo huffed.
Upon releasing her, Bo went to stand by Dyson willing the feeling to return to her arm. They watched as Natasha moved to Olivia's side to loop her arm around her waist as the blonde returned the gesture, and smiled at each other. Bo couldn't help but to feel jealous at the action as well as fact that their auras burned too high for her liking.
"Hmm..I wonder what hurt the succubitch more? The floor or her pride?" Evony wondered from her spot. Disappointed that no one would go home in cuffs or a body bag.
Seeing this as her chance to leave before anyone noticed her, Evony tried to make a quick getaway until something hideous attempted to latch onto her. Letting out a screech that had the ability to shatter glass, she screamed as a small child kept invading her space.
"Get it away from me!"
The mother of said child quickly approached, giving her a strange look as she walked back to their table.
"Evony?"
Olivia was confused. Why did she look like she was in disguise. Suddenly her girlfriend's words came back to her as far as not trusting the other woman.
As Bo darted towards the Morrigan, Dyson grabbed her. Shaking his head, his ears were still ringing from the scream.
"Bo, you know you can't harm her without facing consequences."
"Dyson! You don't know what she's done!" Nodding to the women behind her. "They think she's a friend and then Kenzi was in a trunk!"
"Evony, what's going on? Why are you here?"
"I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd drop by. I was so concerned when I spoke to you earlier…" Her composure faltered before she busted out laughing."Oh dear, the look on your face! Priceless indeed. Us, friends? Can you imagine? You humans are so fun to play with. It will all make sense soon enough, Doctor" She continued "and when it does I want you to know the only reason I did this was simply because I could. I was hoping that you would do me the favor of offing Bo here, she's been a pain in my ass since day one. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted."
Olivia stood there in shock. She couldn't make sense of all that was happening around her.
"The Ash will hear of this Evony. You know you've broken several…"
"Save it wolf boy! I haven't lived this long without breaking a few rules, this will merely be a slap on my delicate wrist and a good story to tell at parties. Now, if you'll excuse me...I'll be on my way."
While feeling justified in her distrust of Evony, her concern was more on her lover who looked so confused and hurt in the moment. It wasn't right and it pissed her off.
Walking up to Evony, Natasha said "I knew I never liked you."
"Honey, you say that like I should give a shit. You are beneath…"
She didn't finish before the brunette's fist connected with the Morrigan's face.
"Oh," Evony laughed "I promise you will regret this."
"You say that like I give a shit, Evony. Bring it bitch." She hissed.
"Yeah" Bo said stepping behind her "bring it."
"You can count on it!" She said flexing her hands.
"Enough!" Dyson knew it was time to intervene before things continued to escalate. He could sense the change before the Morrigan was punched, but would never admit it out loud to anyone.
"Aren't you going to arrest her Detective? I believe that's considered assault."
Studying her closely Tamsin said "Assaulted you say? I don't even see a mark plus I'm not in my jurisdiction."
"You work for me, remember?" Evony said lowly.
"No, actually I work for Odin."
"Is that right? Well, I'll be sure to remember that." Evony said before storming off.
"Tamsin, you ride back with Bo and we'll meet you at the Dal. Call Trick and let him know. Olivia and Natasha, if you'll please ride back with me I promise this will all make sense soon." Dyson was careful in his approach because even though he knew he was stronger, this side of Lauren is one he didn't care to test.
"Yeah, we'll be out in a minute." Natasha said casting a worried glance in Olivia's direction.
Nodding his head in understanding, he followed Bo and Tamsin out the door.
"What a pair we make, huh? You tackling people to the floor, and me clocking a bitch all for love. It's not even noon yet. Do you want to see what other kinds of trouble we can get ourselves into?" She joked hoping to get a reaction from the blonde.
"I'm almost afraid of the answers. Together no matter what?" She asked tentatively. Feeling like she had the rug pulled out from under her, she needed to know that the one thing that held her together would still be standing when the day was over.
"Liv, I told you that you are stuck with me." She reassured her. "Plus, if you're an actual doctor then it just means that I can add more to my Christmas list, right? In that case you should be afraid."
"Yeah, I suppose so." She laughed lightly pulling her close to give her a quick kiss. Leave it to Natasha to be able to find the humor in this situation.
"Let's go get this shit show started and hope that there will be easy access to alcohol. Ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
A/N: We haven't seen the last of Evony, but the next few chapters will deal with the aftermath. Thanks again for reading :)
