At The Morrigan's office, Tamsin sits in the waiting area. The receptionist comes out and leads Tamsin to The Morrigan. The Morrigan dismisses the receptionist and signals Tamsin to have a seat.
"You wanted to see me?" asks Tamsin, in a blasé voice.
"That was yesterday," says Evony, annoyed.
"What can I say, I was busy."
"Let's cut the small talk shall we? There was an altercation the other night, or should I say early morning, that left several of my people hurt. I'm sure you know about this." She looks Tamsin square in the eyes. "One was found unconscious in what looks to be a signature feed for a Succubus."
"I can assure you that it was not a feed."
"My my, aren't we so quick to respond in the Succubus' defense. I'm sure you can. Thankfully he's not in a coma. Oh yes before I was rudely interrupted, several others were infused with doubt and confusion, and were found pummeling their comrades. Now you may speak."
"Was a complaint filed? Did the so called victims say anything?" asks Tamsin.
"No. And quite frankly they will never admit to being defeated by women. They are way too proud. But we both know it was you and that Succubus bitch. What I want to know is what were you two doing in Dark territory in the first place? Are you friends with the Sunshine gang now, or is she your lover?"
"Um okay, am I under investigation?"
"No, but you will be under close inspection. Remember you serve me."
"No I work for you."
"Same difference to me."
"Am I free to go?"
"You are for now. I have an appointment for a facial anyway. You could use one. My receptionist can give you a card to a fabulous esthetician on your way out."
At the Dal. Trick pours Bo and Kenzi a drink. "So how's my favorite girls?" he asks.
"We're fine, just been chopping it up?" Kenzi takes a sip. "Lauren broke up with Bo."
"Kenzi," says Bo.
"What, I'm feeling my liquor. Trick's my homie."
"And we didn't break up. We're on a break," clarifies Bo.
"Is that why you went missing?" asks Trick.
"You could say that. Yeah," says Bo.
"She was out banging some mystery person who she's been avoiding to talk about," says Kenzi.
"On that note I think I should go and do something else. Hang in there Bo, it will all work out for the best. In the meantime, here's a bottle on the house, in fact here's two. Good luck," says Trick, sliding the bottles over and walking away.
"Yes!" says Kenzi, opening a bottle, and pouring her a drink.
"Kenzi, what the hell?" says Bo.
"What? Okay okay. It was all game. Whenever Trick can't handle a conversation i.e. women problems, he gives a bottle of liquor instead," says Kenzi, tapping her finger against her head. "Don't tell anyone I told you that. And don't use it on him more than twice a month because he's pretty slick."
"I'll try to remember that next time Tamsin, Kenzi." Bo does this oh-shit look.
Kenzi opens her mouth in shock. "Wait did you just call me…" says Kenzi, being cut off.
"Dyson, what a surprise! Come, sit, drink with us," says Bo.
Dyson is happy to oblige. "Well if you insist." He grabs a glass and Bo slides him a bottle. Kenzi is debating with herself as to if Bo called her Tamsin or not. "Hey Kenzi," he calls.
"What up D dog?" she responds, drinking her drink.
"Something going on with Kenzi over there?" he asks, Bo.
"She's fine. She's just enjoying her liquor," says Bo. Dyson touches Bo's shades in curiosity. "Oh yeah, these. Going for a new look I guess. So, how have you been?" asks Bo.
"I've been doing well. I could ask you the same thing since you seem to have disappeared on us. I'm glad you're alright. Kenzi was going to file a missing persons on you," says Dyson. "Is everything okay Bo?"
"Everything is as could be expected." Bo takes a swallow of her drink. "Lauren and I, we're on a break now, and I'm here, drinking."
Dyson appears as if this is his first time hearing about Bo and Lauren's situation. "You can't see the calm after the storm. It may hurt right now, but it does get better. And I'll always be here for you if you need me."
"Thanks Dyson," says Bo, with a smile.
Dyson hits Bo's glass with his and they finish their drinks. He pours them up another.
Kenzi is still talking to herself. Now she is fully convinced. She faces Bo. "I know I'm not crazy, drunk, but not crazy. You called me…" says Kenzi.
"Tamsin," says Dyson.
"That's right," says Kenzi.
Bo looks by the Dal's entrance and sees Tamsin talking with some people. The expression on Bo's face appears as if she had just witnessed an apparition. She turns back to her drink.
"What's up with you? You're whole vibe just changed man," asks Kenzi, to Bo.
"Nothing," says Bo, casually drinking from her glass.
Dyson waves at Tamsin to come over. She walks over to them. "Hey partner," says Dyson.
"Dyson," says Tamsin, with her signature smirk. "Kenzie." Kenzie raises her hand in acknowledgement. "Bo."
"Tamsin," says Bo.
"What's with the eye accessory?" asks Tamsin, to Bo, referring to her glasses. "Some kind of domestic dispute."
Kenzi laughs. "Now that was actually funny," she says. She spins around in her stool, drink in her hand.
"Bo is trying a different look. I think it works," answers Dyson.
"You would," says Tamsin.
"And that is why I can always count on you, Dyson," says Bo, to Dyson.
"Hey, I'm a countable person," says Kenzi.
"How have you been?" asks Dyson, to Tamsin. "Haven't heard from you in a few days. We missed you on the force."
"Right. Anyway, I've been good. Out, tying up loose ends. You?" asks Tamsin.
"Or tying up a loose Succubus," whispers Kenzi, to Bo.
"Kenzi, don't be ridiculous," says Bo, awkwardly.
"I'm just saying, yalls be the onliest ones missing for some days. Yall could have met up," says Kenzi, to Bo.
"Keep it up, and I'm cutting you off," says Bo.
"No, no one is going to take me and my precious away from each other," says Kenzi, hugging the liquor bottle like a baby.
Tamsin and Dyson are in the middle of a conversation. "Yeah, so I can't complain. You should join us. You don't mind do you Bo?" asks Dyson.
"No. By all means," says Bo, with a shrug.
Dyson grabs another glass and pours Tamsin a drink, handing it to her. "We're drinking in honor of Bo," says Dyson.
"What's the celebration?" asks Tamsin, nonchalantly.
"I don't really know. Bo?" asks Dyson.
"Beats me," Bo replies.
"Oh I got one," says Kenzi, raising her glass. "A toast to people who are broken up with their lovers and have long, lust filled, days of our lives, passionate, hot buttered, maple syrup, I'm talking pancakes." Everyone looks at Kenzi like she's a patient in a mental asylum that has just flipped out. Kenzi continues, "The kind of pancaking that makes your eyes atomic number ten blue, that you gotta wear shades because you came home after missing for two days, dressed like a killer going to a funeral and..." Bo covers Kenzi's mouth with her hand.
"Kenzi's such a kidder," says Bo. Both Dyson and Tamsin look at the two of them strangely. "She's had a lot to drink." Bo clears her throat. "Um to good health." Bo lifts her glass.
Dyson shakes his head. "Here here." He lifts his glass and downs his drink.
Tamsin does a can't-wait-until-this-is-over look, and elevates her glass a little.
Kenzi signals for Bo to let go. "Are you gonna be good now?" says Bo, to Kenzi. Kenzi nods her head yes. Bo lets her go.
Kenzi looks like she's about to continue her rant when Bo grabs her bottle. "Not my precious," says Kenzi. Bo gives her a be-good look. "Okay, okay. Cheers," she says, lifting her glass. Bo hands her back the bottle to Kenzi's delight.
Tamsin sighs. "O-kay," she says, still frowning. She turns to Dyson. "So, Dyson, up for a game of pool?"
"Sure," he says. "You're good right Bo?"
"Oh yes, please, you don't have to hang around here with me," Bo responds.
"Okay," he says, getting up. "I'll be right over there if you need me."
Tamsin finishes her drink and sits it down on the counter. "Well thanks for the drink," she says.
"Yeah, no problem," says Bo.
"I'm gonna go set up the table whenever you're done wagging your tail," says Tamsin, to Dyson, before walking off.
Dyson gives Bo a hug. "Feel better okay?"
"Will try," says Bo, patting his arm.
He gives Kenzi a hug too. "Take care of her."
"You know I always do," Kenzi responds. He goes over to the pool table which Tamsin has already begun playing.
"So, that hunk of burning love over there has been totally checking you out since we've been here. He's at your six," says Kenzi. Bo slowly turns around and sees a guy further back standing against the wall staring at her. He waves. Bo waves back. "So, are you gonna take him to the boneyard?" asks Kenzi.
"He does look yummy. And his sexual energy is topping the charts. But to tell you the truth, I'm not really in the mood," says Bo, turning back around.
Kenzi looks in disbelief. "Um what? This is what you do. It's what you are. You mean to tell me you're not really going to bump uglies with Adonis over there?"
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
"I can't believe what I'm hearing. The day when the nookie turns down cookie. The end must be near. Damn Bo, the Doctor really did a number on you huh?" says Kenzi.
"Kenzi, I'm just not hungry," says Bo.
"Is it because you're already full?" asks Kenzi.
"I think that I'm going to go for a walk."
"Um sure, because that's not code for something else," says Kenzi.
"Here's the keys just in case I don't make it back here tonight. You gonna be alright?" Bo asks.
Kenzi slides both bottles of liquor towards herself. "Me, sure. The question is are you?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I be," says Bo. She finishes her drink.
"Okay. But get home at a decent hour this time. And for the love of all that is holy ghost, please do not come back in another funky get up like earlier today, please I beg of you."
"I promise." She gives Kenzi a hug and a kiss on the cheek. "Later."
Tamsin, who is applying chalk to her pool stick, sees Bo exit the Dal. She calls her shot and hits her target into its pocket.
Bo walks for awhile. Her arms stretched out, she feels the breeze go through her fingers and hair. Someone yells for help. She runs to where she last heard the plea. Now walking slowly, she hears a large banging noise. Bo takes out a knife, still walking slowly into an entrance of an alley. She stops immediately after seeing the area riddled with bodies. "Definitely not a good sign," she says. She hears another sound coming from behind a dumpster. "I know you're back there." She moves a little closer. "So show yourself." Suddenly a very beautiful woman pokes her head out from the side of the dumpster to peer at Bo. "You back there. Are you okay?" The dumpster is forcefully pushed forward, making Bo jump out of the way, ripping her jacket. "Okay, did my jacket just rip?" Bo stands up. "Now I'm pissed." She sees a man standing in front of the woman, his back to Bo. "What the hell?" He starts convulsing. "Hey," yells Bo. "Hey, what's going on back there?" He stops, his feet rising from off of the ground. Bo sees the woman's eyes glowing green as she sucks the remaining energy inside of the guy she is holding. "Is she doing what I think she's doing?" Bo runs closer to them. "Stop, let him go." The woman does so by throwing the guy into Bo. Bo checks his pulse and sees that he's dead. "I don't know what you are, but you owe me a new jacket. First payment is your ass." The woman begins to grow taller, her bottom half resembling that of a huge snake. "I so was not expecting that," says Bo, to herself." She starts stepping back. "On second thought, I can take cash." The snake woman starts lashing at her. "Whoa," says Bo, dodging. The snake woman tries to grab Bo, who rolls out of the way, in an attempt to drain her. She throws the glasses off of her face, eyes burning blue. "There will be none of that." Bo starts absorbing chi from the snake woman. She stops and begins to return the chi back inside of the bodies. The snake woman regains her composure, uses her tail and throws one of the bodies into Bo. The force knocks Bo and the body out of the alley. She hits her head against a protruding piece of concrete and loses consciousness.
