A few hours later Bo and Kenzi enterd the Dal after finding an appraiser for the small windfall they had found. It turned out the diamonds were not that good, and so the early retirement would have to wait another day.
"Well I could certainly use a drink after the day we have had right," Bo spoke to Trick the small bartender. As she looked around the Dal.
"Oh, I hear you traded a treasure map for a job...how did that go? the amusement in his tone and eyes at the two women.
"Yo, don't be hurting on us just because we found the booty and no else had the stones to do it." Kenzi stated as she showed a diamond to Trick. "We came, we saw, we kicked some orc ass, and we got the booty. Although the kicking ass part was mainly Bo-bo and Wolfie, but hey I so got one with that tazer thing.
"You mean you actually found something, and I thought it was just a cruel jest to get young fae to get lost in there for hours. And what orc things?" Trick turned to Bo at this revelation.
"I don't know what they are but they had a circle of horns on their heads and sharp teeth, they were shouting something but I didn't catch what they were saying. Dyson may know more, and by the way thanks for sending him out there. He saved our collective asses." Bo answered.
As Trick turned to tend another patron, Kenzi was looking around the Dal seeing who all was here. Seeing the blonde doctor, she turned to her friend. "Just so you know Lauren is here," nodding across the room to the blonde who was talking to a handsome man.
Bo turned and followed her friends gaze to look at the doctor. As her anger and frustration came upon her. It had been a week since the doctor's betrayal. One week since, the Ash had ordered her into her bed to distract her from finding Vex. She was mad at the whole situation, she had been falling for the human for a long time. But that had all changed, now she just felt anger at Lauren for the conflicting emotions that it had caused her. As she watched the doctor talk animatedly to this man who Bo did not recognize.
"Hey who is that? The one Doctor Lewis is talking to." Bo had to use the title and not her name the pain was still too raw, asking Trick.
"That is Baron Simon, he is a visiting dignitary from one of the counties north of here. Why?
"Oh just wondering" as Bo decided that she suddenly wanted to make the Doctor pay for what she had done to her. Make her feel some of the shame and humilation that she had felt. Of course if she had actually thought about this course of action some more, she probally would not have done it, later she would think this was her first mistake of the night. And before anyone could stop her she was making her way over to the doctor.
As she came closer, the doctor had looked up and seen Bo approaching her which made the Baron glance over as well. Bo noticed the sudden flash of desire that washed over the human towards Bo, that always made the succubus weak in the knees when it came from Lauren. There was something about the doctor's aura that drew the succubus like a moth to the flame. And she had to take a few breaths to calm her want down, no tonight she was going to teach the doctor a lesson.
As the Baron stood to meet the succubus whose intent of coming over was now obvious. Bo came within arms reach of the two.
"Bo, this is Baron Simon Oaktree. He is from the Northern county visiting our city." The doctor indicated to her guest.
"Well met young lady, I have heard many things about the unaligned succubus that has graced this county." The Baron reaching out his hand to shake the determined woman's hand.
"Same to you, well if the doctor here is showing you around I am sure the Ash wants something from you." Bo stated flatly never taking her eyes of Lauren. "I am sure you will get your moneys worth, trust me I have first hand knowledge." The sudden look on the doctor's face was one of hurt and shame, as she quickly looked down trying to hide her face. Bo kept looking at Lauren, and watched her aura change and for a moment she got sick to her stomach. The Baron looked at Bo then towards Lauren and saw the human fighting back tears. "Make sure he gets you home so your Master the Ash can order you to someone else's bed." As she watched Lauren make a quick apology to the Baron as she ran out of the bar.
"Well you are a cruel one." The Baron turned to Bo. "And for the record the Ash does not know I am here officially. I came to see your doctor on a medical situation."
"Well I am sure she will inform the Ash of her meeting with you, so I really hope you were not wanting to keep it a secret." Her anger ebbing faster than she thought, her stomach churning with self-loathing at herself for hurting the doctor. She quickly moved past the Baron, back towards Kenzi and Dyson who had finally shown up.
"Wow Bo that was a little harsh even for you." the Russian girl stated. She was not big on the doctor herself. "You sure that was the wisest thing to do?"
"Kenzi's right, Bo." Trick agreeing with the shorter girl. "The Baron may not be from around here, but he still has influence with the Elders. And you basically just humilated him in front of HIS guest." Stressing that the Baron was the one that invited the doctor to the Dal not the other way around.
"Fine I will go and apologize to him." Bo stated as she turned to head back to the Baron. "Baron Oaktree, I want to apolgize for my actions towards you." Leaving out the doctor who she had truly humilated. "I should not have aired my problems with the doctor in front of you."
"You may leave infant child," the Baron stated as he started to walk towards the bar, dismissing Bo as a parent would a small child. "Perhaps when you learn patience we will speak again. Although, I am not sure I would care to meet again. Now I must go and apologize to Doctor Lewis for this cruel night. She was my guest and you have dishonored that hospitality. Feel lucky that I respect the neutrality of this place and overlook your childish behavior, otherwise you would not care to repeat such actions against me."
Turning to face Trick, "You should teach your infant of a succubus some manners. I shall take leave now, you have been a most gracious host and I thank you for your hospitality." Turning towards the door to be met by a very pissed off succubus in his way. "Remove yourself infant."
"Listen buddy, I don't know where you get off but I am no child. I said I was sorry," as Bo made her second stupid mistake of the evening. Although at the time she did not even realize it let alone this being her second one. She grabbed the Baron's hand although she thought she remembered hearing both Trick and Dyson shout for not to stop. And then the world went black for her.
