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 9

"So…what's new at the cop-shop D-man?"

Kenzi, Dyson and Bo were sitting at the Dahl sharing their third pitcher of the night. After they'd left Lauren and Tamsin at the station they'd made their way over to the bar and had taken up residence there ever since. Jeff had texted Kenzi and she invited him to join them so Dyson and Bo were waiting around for him to show up before they headed out for the night. Bo had yet to officially meet him so she was enjoying giving Kenzi a hard time about her new boy toy. Dyson was quite bored with the girl talk about Kenzi's new beau but he was doing the typical Dyson thing as he hung around to watch over them.

"Nothing much. These cases are pretty much all we have going on right now."

Kenzi nodded and looked over at Bo who seemed to be eyeing a tall dark and yummy guy standing at the other end of the bar. Kenzi rolled her eyes as she waived her hand at Bo as if to say, 'go ahead' and focused on her drink instead. Bo gave her a smirk but didn't leave her perch stating that she wasn't leaving until she got to meet Kenzi's new man even if she had to delay her feeding for a bit.

Kenzi sighed knowing Bo's feeding schedule had been thrown off as of late. For some reason she seemed to be going longer between feeds but when it was meal time boy did she have her fill. One night in particular Kenzi almost had a heart attack when she came home to find two women and one young man passed out in the living room only to find Bo sitting comfortably at the counter drinking coffee as if it were a natural thing. Kenzi had been trying to convince Bo to feed from Dyson in between her marathon meals knowing that she could really use the pick-me-up but Bo was rarely obliging. She was distancing herself a bit from him and Kenzi knew it was because she felt a bit betrayed by everything that had happened in France.

"Hey Kenzi…"

The threesome turned to the voice and Kenzi lit up at the sight of Jeff walking up to the bar. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek which Bo found adorable and he blushed slightly as he was introduced to the Succubus. He shook her hand politely and gave Dyson a friendly nod as he took the open seat at the bar next to the young Russian.

"So how are you guys doing?"

Kenzi grinned. "Oh you know…same old same old. In fact we were just talking about how mundane things have become."

Dyson raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "We were?"

Bo kicked him hard in the shin as she leaned on one hand and smiled at Jeff. "Yes, we were. So Jeff, nice to finally meet you. I feel like I know so much about you."

She gave Kenzi a cheeky smile and Kenzi rolled her eyes as she turned back to him with a sweet smile. He gave her a slightly confused look but smiled back at Bo and nodded. "Same here. The way Kenzi talks about you it's like you have superpowers or something."

He laughed to himself and didn't notice the WTF looks that Dyson and Bo were giving Kenzi who looked slightly uncomfortable. She'd never said anything of the sorts obviously, but Jeff seemed to choose the exact wording that would put this group on edge.

Bo just laughed lightly and gave Kenzi a knowing look. "Well if I did I would hope Kenzi wouldn't spill the beans."

Kenzi just laughed uncomfortably. "Moi? Now why would I do that? Okay…how about we do shots?"

Kenzi changed the subject as the conversation was getting uncomfortable and happily accepted the alcohol that was placed down in front of them. She passed the shots around to the group and lifted hers up to toast.

"To new friends and old friends. None of which have superpowers."

Bo and Dyson rolled their eyes and Jeff gave her a funny look as they all drank the alcohol and laughed. At that moment Tamsin appeared in the entrance to the Dahl looking mighty determined and didn't even stop to see the group that was hanging out at the bar as she strode into the establishment in search of its owner.

Jeff noticed the tall blonde and he nudged Kenzi. "Hey isn't that your friend?"

Kenzi watched her walk by and nodded. "Yeah, she's a strange one that girl. Hey! Did you guys see there's a new bar opening up in New York?"

Bo gave her a confused look. "Doesn't that happen like every other day in that city? Who cares?"

Kenzi looked exasperated. "Well…we care right? I mean we're young, we should enjoy it. What do you guys say? Road trip?"

Bo looked over at Dyson who was looking at Kenzi like she'd lost her mind. "Now?"

Kenzi nodded. "Why put off tomorrow what we can do today right?"

Bo raised an eyebrow. "Uh okay Tony Robbins maybe you've had enough to drink?"

Kenzi laughed. "No come on it will be fun! We'll head down to the city for a day or two and tear up the place."

Bo shook her head. "Kenz, I don't think now would be a good time to leave."

Kenzi looked back and forth between Dyson and Bo trying to figure out what else she could say that could convince them. Since she'd told Tamsin she'd try to keep Bo occupied for a few days she was doing her best, but she could see it was a losing battle. She sighed.

"Fine I guess you're right. Next time."

Bo put her arm around Kenzi and gave her a slight squeeze. "Look, if it means that much to you, as soon as we're done with…you know…we'll take a trip okay?"

Kenzi just nodded her head. "Yay."

Dyson laughed and motioned for another round of shots as Bo and Jeff tried to console the petite woman who seemed to be really bummed out but in reality was just trying to figure out what else she could do to distract the Succubus from whatever it was Tamsin was planning.

In Trick's study

"What are you doing here?"

"We need to talk."

Tamsin strode over and stood in front of Trick as she crossed her arms over her chest and stood at her full height. She looked down at him angrily and he looked at her with a confused look on his face.

"Okay what do you want to talk about?"

"What do you know?"

Trick raised his hands in confusion. "About what?"

Tamsin put her hands on her hips and looked down at him with an evil glare. "Cut the shit old man. You need to tell me exactly what's going on. Now."

Not appreciating her tone of voice Trick straightened himself a bit as he glared right back at her. "You'll be wise to watch your tone with me. Let's not forget we all know who you work for and I'm sure she wouldn't be happy to hear about your disruption of the Light/Dark peace experiment."

Tamsin scoffed. "Let the bitch come. I don't care about her, what I do care about are the secret's you've been keeping. What are you hiding from us? Especially your beloved granddaughter?"

Trick bristled a bit at her questioning. "Hiding? What exactly do you think I've been hiding and what do you mean by us?"

Tamsin laughed at him in mock disgust. "You don't get it do you? I know something is going on and I'm sure you have something to do with it. Between you and that crazy bitch you're working together towards a common goal. But what is it? And make no mistake, if I don't get the information from you, I'll use other means necessary to find out what I need to know."

Trick eyed her as if deciding if he should call her bluff. He raised an eyebrow. "You seem to know so much why don't you tell me what you think is going on here."

Tamsin smirked at him. She knew he wouldn't be stupid enough to reveal his hand so she was going to ride her suspicions out without ever giving up what she knew. "Fine. My mistake. Maybe I was wrong. But I wonder if Bo knows about your history…about how you went into hiding? That might be one bedtime story I'm sure she never heard."

Tamsin smiled at him in victory. She hadn't told anyone, not even Lauren, but she was starting to have dreams about her previous lifetimes. It was a sign that her current life cycle would be ending but she knew she had at least a decade or so before she was reborn again based on the frequency of these dreams. A few months ago she'd had one particularly vivid dream where she remembered her time with the Blood King and how he held her prisoner during the Great Fae War. She never knew what happened to him at the end of the war as she had escaped, but she was pretty certain he'd made some sort of deal or something to basically be unknown to those he came in contact with. At the time she ignored the dream as it didn't really mean anything to her, but with the events that have played out in the last couple of weeks she knew that was a critical piece of information she could use to her advantage.

Trick looked up at her and felt his blood boil. He was certain she didn't remember him and he'd gone to great lengths to ensure the Fae didn't remember him either. It was one of the last things he'd written in blood and for her to have awareness of this event shook him to his core.

"Shut the door."

"Excuse me?"

"Shut the door."

Tamsin eyed him carefully as she moved to the entrance and closed the door behind her giving them privacy. She took a few steps back into the room and crossed her arms over her chest again.

"Talk."

Trick sighed as he dug through his books and pulled out what appeared to be an old journal. He flipped it open to the page he was looking for and pointed at the text.

"What you are asking about doesn't exist. It can't exist. And even more so it can't be discovered."

Tamsin took a hesitant step closer and peered at the text he was pointing at. It was in some kind of strange language that she couldn't read and she stepped back with annoyance on her features.

"It looks like scribble to me. What does it mean?"

Trick looked up at her. "Tell me what you found in France."

Tamsin hesitated. If she revealed any of the information she had it might be detrimental to Lauren and Bo's safety. "We learned about some old bunch of dudes called the Originals."

Trick nodded. "And what else?"

Tamsin shook her head. "That's it. Old guys. Creepy. End of story."

Trick gave her a disbelieving look. "I think you learned about more than that. I think you learned that they aren't a bunch of 'old guys' but instead a group of protectors. Protectors who served even me once a long time ago."

Tamsin raised an eyebrow. "And if you knew about them why let us go off on the scavenger hunt?"

Trick sighed. "Because you weren't supposed to succeed. You weren't supposed to find them."

Tamsin scoffed. "Well you know Bo. Miss overachiever herself."

Trick nodded. "And that's the most dangerous part."

Tamsin looked at him in annoyance and concern. "Meaning?"

Trick shut the journal. "Meaning whatever you discovered you must keep secret. This is bigger than you and me and even Bo. So do yourself a favor and forget it."

Back at the bar

RING RING RING

Bo looked down at her phone and smiled. "Hey Lauren. Are you coming down here? I just saw Tamsin breeze by."

"Tamsin's there?"

Bo looked around confused. "Uh yeah she's in the back. So I take it you're not coming then?"

"No. Look Bo I'm sorry to ask, but I think I need some help."

"Okay what's up?"

Dyson nodded at her and mouthed 'everything okay?' Bo just nodded as she listened to what Lauren was saying.

"I think something is going on with the Morrigan and I need to find out what it is."

"Well just ask Tamsin I'm—"

"No I can't. I think whatever is going on with the Morrigan, I think Tamsin is involved."

Bo's face hardened. "Lauren, what exactly are you saying?"

Lauren sighed into the phone. "I think the Morrigan is using her, forcing her to do something. But I don't know what."

Bo saw Tamsin walk out of the back area and stood up angrily. "Well let's just find out what then."

"Bo wait! No please don't—"

Bo hung up the phone and walked into Tamsin's path with an angry look on her face. Tamsin stopped in front of her with an annoyed look on her face.

"What?"

Bo was giving her a very even and cold stare. "How's mommy dearest?"

Tamsin looked confused. And again, bored. "What are you talking about? Have you been drinking the tainted moonshine again?"

Bo raised an eyebrow. "Don't play dumb Tamsin. Although I know that's easy for you. What are you doing for the Morrigan?"

Tamsin looked down at her with a roll of her eyes. "Try and keep up hun. Working as a detective, human security detail. Ring any bells?"

"Ooohhkay come on Jeff let's go." Tamsin and Bo looked at Kenzi who jumped up and pulled on his arm so they could leave as he gave her a confused look. This was the second time the tall blonde referred to things as 'human.'

Bo looked back at Tamsin with the same hard stare. "Fine. I'll let this go for now. But you better get your priorities in order. If anything happens to Lauren I'll kill you myself."

Tamsin rolled her eyes as she brushed past Bo and Dyson without another word. She walked outside and leaned on the wall as she looked up at the sky. From what she gathered tonight a few things were starting to come together and somewhere at the center of it all was the Dark/unaligned Succubus. She still wasn't sure what role Lauren played in the whole scheme but she was now more determined than ever to find out.

And there we have it. I'm thinking there will be a Doc/Doc showdown in the next few chapters. It's time I would say. Let me know what you thought and thanks for reading.
