Characters aren't mine. I've taken the liberties I wanted for the storyline, but the characters belong to Showcase and Lost Girl.

R&R appreciated. Enjoy!

Chapter 7

"Tamsin…I don't think this is the time or pla—oohh."

Tamsin smiled as she backed Lauren up and lifted her up slightly so she was sitting on the table. Lauren had come by the police station to help Dyson and Tamsin with an autopsy report but upon arrival she discovered Tamsin was the only one waiting for her as Dyson had gone to pick up Bo and he let her know they would meet them there in a few minutes. Never one to miss an opportunity, Tamsin had immediately pulled Lauren into the main interrogation room and shut the blinds as she locked the door behind her.

"Mmm…gotta make it quick Doc."

Tamsin kissed the soft spot she'd discovered on Lauren's neck as her hands ran down the shorter woman's body and directly to the button on her slacks. Lauren was pushing her away slightly with her hands in effort to make her understand now wasn't the time to get frisky but couldn't help the moan that escaped her lips when Tamsin bit down slightly or how she wrapped her legs around the Valkyrie when she felt Tamsin's hands grab her backside roughly inside her pants.

BANG BANG BANG

"Why the hell is this door locked? Tamsin you in there?"

Tamsin let out an annoyed huff as she removed her hands from the Doc's pants and took a slight step back from the disheveled woman. Lauren looked caught off guard for a second before she shook her head and buttoned up her pants as she stood and ran a hand through her hair to try and calm her body down. Tamsin glanced back at Lauren to make sure she was okay before she unlocked and swung open the door as she rolled her eyes.

"Calm yourself will ya? Jeez."

Dyson glanced at Tamsin and Lauren and he could pick up a slight scent that indicated exactly what was going on in there just a few minutes prior. Lauren avoided eye contact with both Dyson and Bo who had entered the room with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Isn't that a little risky to be doing this here?"

She looked at Lauren with a look that basically said 'I can't believe you would do this' before shifting her gaze to Tamsin and glaring at her.

Tamsin rolled her eyes. "Oh save the bullshit. Don't think I don't know about you two getting it on in the interrogation room in the back."

She expected to be met with an eye roll as gave Bo a hard look but was surprised to see Bo giving Lauren a guilty look instead. Tamsin looked at Dyson, who suddenly wouldn't make eye contact with her, before looking back at Lauren who suddenly found the table very interesting, all with a confused look on her face. "Um, did I miss something here?"

"No." Bo's voice was sharp as a knife and Tamsin turned back to her with a raised eyebrow. "You sure bout that?"

Bo grabbed Tamsin by the throat and took a step towards her with a cold look in her eye. "Mind your own business and we won't have a problem. Got it?"

Tamsin stared back at her as if she were searching for an answer to a question she didn't know existed. Obviously by the way everyone was reacting, the Bo/Dyson hook up must have happened when Bo was with Lauren. Tamsin didn't feel jealous, or at least the human version of jealousy, but she did feel an overwhelming urge to inflict bodily harm on the young Fae for causing Lauren so much pain that even mentioning it made the blonde upset. She calmly nodded a the Succubus as she knew that if she opened her mouth she would say something she regretted and she didn't want to cause a scene at the station. Bo slowly eased her grip off the taller blonde and shot Lauren another guilty look. If Lauren saw it she didn't say anything as she opened the file she'd brought over and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"Well, like the others the victim is human. Same tattoo as the others as well. I did some research but nothing indicates this mark has any value for humans which makes me think the sign is some kind of target or marker for whoever is doing this."

"So we find more humans with this tattoo and try and figure out how and why they go it?"

Lauren nodded at Bo's question but she wouldn't look at the brunette. Instead she flipped through the file to another page and pointed something out to the group.

"One other thing. This latest victim had high levels of numerous drugs in their system and an unusually high BAC. I think they were drugged prior to their death."

"Vex"

"Excuse me?" Tamsin looked at her partner who, up until this point had been silent the whole time. She put her hand on her hip. "What does he have to do with this?"

Dyson pointed to one of the photos of the victims. "Body was found on Dark territory. Based on the way the victim is dressed it appears she was out at a club and if anyone knows what goes on in the clubs in that area its Vex."

Tamsin nodded. "Okay…let's go then."

Dyson gave her a look that said 'hold on' as he grabbed the file from the table. "We can't just go in there waiving our badges and expect him to talk. Vex is a lot of things but he's not completely stupid. He just got his club back and he'll do anything to keep it."

Bo nodded. "Which is why we need more information on the victim first before we question him."

Tamsin rolled her eyes. "I'm sorry do I hear a plan in here anywhere?"

Dyson looked annoyed. "Well let's start with the victim's name. Let's see…Cassidy Reynolds. Ring any bells?"

The three woman shook their heads and Dyson sighed. "Look we need to know if she was at Vex's club or another in the area first. If we know where she was maybe that will tell us more about what was going on that led to her death."

Tamsin rolled her eyes. "Or we can treat him like a big boy and extract the information through other means…"

Bo looked at her skeptically. "Like?"

Tamsin gave her an evil smile. "Like we bring him in and make it uncomfortable for him until he decides to talk."

Dyson rolled his eyes. "And that wouldn't accomplish much, assuming we can keep him here. Although…if we wanted to apply pressure…"

Everyone turned to look at Lauren who gave the group a concerned look. "What?"

Bo grinned as she understood what Tamsin was saying. She walked over to Lauren and wrapped her arm around her shoulder. "Well, since She Bitch likes you so much maybe you can convince her that helping us get information from Vex is in her best interest."

Lauren looked wary. "Best interest how? This is a human murder…Evony won't care about this."

Dyson stood up and smiled. "She won't care about the human but she will care about Vex's club being raided and the possibility of discovering certain Fae activity that is frowned upon by the Elders."

Lauren shook her head. "I think you underestimate her intelligence. If I go to her with that she'll laugh in my face and possibly lock me up. It's too risky without some solid information."

Bo gave her a sweet smile. "Come on Doctor…I'm sure you can figure something out."

Tamsin shot Bo a warning look but didn't say anything. True, she did think Lauren was the best bet to get the Morrigan to help out but now that she thought about it she was slightly concerned about sending her into the lion's den unprotected. Tamsin sighed.

"Come on Doc. I'll go with you that way she won't try anything stupid."

Lauren looked at each of the Fae slowly before turning to Tamsin and nodding. She wasn't totally sure this would work but it was at least worth a try.

At the Morrigan's office

"Why Doctor, thank you for meeting with me today, I know you're a busy woman."

Evony leered a bit at Lauren out of reflex and gave her a sinister smile. Said smile fell a bit though when she saw Tamsin follow Lauren into the office. She raised an eyebrow. "You know Tamsin when I put you on human detail I wasn't aware she needed protection from me."

Tamsin smirked. "Well you can never be too safe."

Lauren rolled her eyes a bit as she took a seat next to Tamsin across from the Morrigan. Evony smiled an annoyed smile at Tamsin before turning back to the human.

"So Dr. Lewis, do you have the information I was asking for?"

Lauren nodded as she handed a file over to Evony. "Here's my initial report. Based on the samples you provided it seems the disease is a bacteria not a virus. It's being spread through contact, but there is no indication of how exactly. And it would be helpful to understand who patient 0 was to figure out how they contracted this disease in the first place."

Evony looked at the paperwork. "So basically we don't know how or what is spreading this disease."

Lauren shook her head no. She sat up a bit straighter though as a thought came to her. "Evnoy, are you certain that the Light and Dark are being affected by the same disease?"

Evony sat forward a bit. "Why does that matter?"

Lauren licked her lips a bit in an anxious manner. "Well, it's just that if this is affecting the Dark only, I would wonder if there were a reason…maybe the affected are picking up the bacteria in crowded places that only the Dark are frequenting."

Evony looked thoughtful. "Like where Doctor?"

Lauren glanced at Tamsin who nodded slightly before turning back to the Morrigan. "Well, I know Vex has recently gotten control of his clubs back…maybe he knows something?"

The Morrigan looked at Lauren as if trying to decide if she was telling the truth or not. She looked at Tamsin who gave her a blank stare in return. Evony nodded. "Well Doctor, if you are suggesting I question Vex I don't see any harm in it."

She gave Lauren a devious smile as Lauren nodded. "Um, if you don't mind…perhaps I can…"

Evony raised an eyebrow. "By all means. You let me know if he's not playing nice though…I'm sure I can persuade him to comply."

Lauren nodded and gave her a small smile. Evony shut the file and looked at the pair. "Well thank you for the information and do let me know how things go with Vex."

Lauren nodded and she and Tamsin stood up to leave. Evony looked at the Valkyrie for a second before giving the human a sickeningly sweet smile. "Go on head Doctor, I need to have a word with Tamsin…you don't mind do you?"

Lauren looked nervous as she glanced at the Morrigan and the Valkyrie who were giving each other unhappy stares. She shook her head. "No, I'll just wait outside."

Lauren departed and Tamsin turned back to the Morrigan with a bored look on her face. "What do you want?"

Evony stood up and her smile fell as she stood toe to toe with the tall blonde. "Watch yourself Valkyrie. I wouldn't want you to forget your place here."

Tamsin huffed but didn't say anything as she Morrigan continued. "And have you been able to do as I asked?"

"Well I haven't gotten fired yet if that's what you're asking."

Evony took a few steps away and turned to look back at her. "That's not what I'm talking about."

Tamsin looked down. "You told me to keep her safe, seeing as how she's up and walking around I'd say I've accomplished that task so far."

Evony smirked. "Don't think for a second I don't see what's going on Tamsin. You were supposed to keep her away from all this not follow her around like she kicked your favorite puppy."

Tamsin stood up straighter. "And what does that mean?"

Evony rolled her eyes. "Look, I know I told you to be nice and look after her…I didn't think you'd fall in love with her."

Tamsin looked up with a cold look. "Who said anything about love?"

Evony laughed. "Oh please, cut the shit and be serious. If this is a problem, I can always have someone else look after her."

Tamsin took a step forward. "There's no problem here. You don't need to have anyone else watch out for her."

Evony looked thoughtful. "I'll be the judge of that. But make no mistake Tamsin, you have a job to do first. If you're compromised because of your feelings I will do as I see fit. Because from where I'm standing you don't have the balls to what you need to if the time comes."

Tamsin crossed her arms. "What the hell are you talking about?"

Evony walked over to her desk and pulled out a few pictures. She threw them down on the table and looked down at them before looking up at Tamsin slowly. "You remember this don't you? The one thing I told you to keep her from discovering. Now I have to clean up your mess before the shit storm of the century begins."

Tamsin picked up one of the photos. It was a picture similar to the ones that her and Dyson had in the case files. She'd forgotten when Evony had first put her on this case that she was to report any significant discovery's related to strange symbols that Lauren or Bo discovered. She never knew why though. Tamsin looked back at Evony in concern. "What does this have to do with anything?"

Evony just smirked at her. "Let's just say there are very powerful people who are interested in this type of information not being discovered. So tell the Doctor to back off or I will."

Tamsin crossed her arms. "How do you know she has anything to do with this? Dyson and I are handling these cases."

Evony chuckled. "You really think I didn't find my own insurance policy? I knew you couldn't keep both the Doctor and the Succubitch from discovering too much."

Tamsin stared down the Dark Fae leader. "I can handle it."

Evony nodded. "Good. Because if you don't, I'll kill her. Simple as that."

Tamsin felt her blood boil at Evony's flippant tone and she had to do everything in her power not to lunge at the woman. Tamsin gave her a curt nod and turned to leave. As she was walking out Evony called out to her. "Oh and Tamsin, don't think I don't know the real reason the good Doctor wants to question Vex. But don't worry, he's a good little boy and he won't say anything."

Tamsin looked at her but didn't say anything. Evony smiled as she continued. "And tell the Doctor the next time she comes to visit me, she can do it alone."

Tamsin just turned and left before she did anything dumb. Evony sat back in her chair and smiled to herself as she watched the Valkyrie leave her office. She knew Tamsin wouldn't be able to stop Lauren from digging more into the symbol and its importance and she knew with the Doctor came the Succubus. 'Two for one special' she thought as she looked down at the photographs again. After a few moments her desk phone intercom beeped.

"Morrigan?"

"Yes"

"Your next appointment is here."

"Good send her in."

The Morrigan smiled as she welcomed the visitor to her office. "Dr. Blacker, so good to finally meet you…"

Sorry this is a bit erratic but I'm trying to move the story along. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading!
