Author's Note: Sorry for the delay in updating. My 2 broken fingers make it a little hard to type. But I was halfway thru this chapter when I broke them so wanted to finish it. And kudos to my OKC Thunder team, Western Conference Champions. Enjoy the update.

As Bo and Kenzi both stared at this old man who had attached himself to Kenzi, they noticed a nurse hurry over to them.

"Hey ease off, buddy." Bo declared, giving the older fae a warning.

"Eddie, what have I told you about leaving your room without an escort." the nurse who had been coming over spoke to the older fae and then turned to Bo and Kenzi. "Please forgive him, he suffers from dimensia and Alzheimer's or at least the fae version of according to Doctor Lewis. He is pretty harmless usually." As she saw both of the women relax a little although the younger one seemed to have a look on her face that she could not read.

"Its okay, I have an uncle like that," Kenzi replied remembering that her Uncle Ivan suffered from Alzheimer's. But that was not what had her startled, this couldn't be her new friend Gaia's friend. But she could not say anything, she was pretty sure she was safe on the not giving an oath but she had said she could keep a secret and she did not know if that counted or not. "Go ahead Bo, take care of what you need to do and I will get a ride back to the Dal. Just don't get yourself killed or in trouble because I am not going to be there."

"You sure?" Bo asked, not wanting to leave her friend but also not wanting to take Kenzi while she confronted Aife. "I will see you later at the Dal. Stay out of trouble."

"Oh please, I only get in trouble when you are around." Kenzi laughed. "I am the one always getting you out of trouble." She watched her best friend walk out of the door and noticed her talking to Dyson for a moment before she took off.

"Now come on Eddie, lets get you back to your room." the nurse was speaking to the older fae, trying to get him to release the younger woman. "I am so sorry about this."

"No problem, why don't you lead the way and I will walk you there." Kenzi answered, thinking as soon as she could she needed to tell Gaia about this. Maybe this was who she was looking for. "Come on, old timer." As the old fae finally let go.

"Do I know you?" He asked the woman who he had just released. "I am looking for something to drink? Have you seen my juice?" As he started to mumble under his breath so low that neither Kenzi or the nurse could make out.

"Usually he is pretty relaxed, but ever since the explosions he has been very active today. Doctor Lewis usually can get him to calm down almost instantly, she has been treating him for a few years now."

"Its no problem," Kenzi replied as the nurse walked into a room that looked like it had been used for many years. "This the place?"

"Yeah, before all this chaos, we used this place for storage and for some of people who need constant care. Eddie here is has been guest for 6 years now. There a few others here so there is always someone here to help them out."

"Kinda like a senior fae old folks home, thats cool to know." Kenzi watched as the older fae got settled down in his room and the nurse made sure he was okay. She was excited inside to think that she may be able to help Gaia in her search. She had a good feeling about this. "So he going to be alright?" As she noticed the nurse give him some medication and helped the fae to his bed.

"Yeah, it is just a mild sedative to help him sleep. I think all the chaos has dirupted his routine and got him and some of the others all frantic. Thanks for the help, though. Name is Joyce by the way. Your friends with the unaligned succubus right? What brings you here to the compound?" As both the nurse and Kenzi quietly made there way out of the room.

"Visiting Lauren, a friend." Kenzi deciding that friend maybe too strong a word at the moment, but Kenzi had decided that after hearing about Bo's vision maybe Lauren wasn't as bad as she thought. Although as smart as she was, she thought the doctor could still be an idiot on the relationship thing. Although thinking about it, the doctor and Bo were probably taught relationship skills at the same school. "Do you know how bad it really is?" Not having to say more who she was talking about.

"I know it is bad, and they could not understand how she was still alive." Joyce answered truthfully. "And the Ash has kept tabs on her constantly other than dealing with the current situation and the injured elders."

"Yeah I heard him tell Bo, that he had a Blood Debt to the doctor now. Not sure what that means but sounds serious."

"Basically means that he will do anything to make sure she survives, and that she can basically ask for anything at all and he can't refuse her." The nurse looked surprised at this revelation. "I have never heard of the Ash giving a Blood Debt to anyone before, although I heard that she threw herself in front of him to save his life."

"Well I need to bail, and I want to go see Lauren real quick. Good to meet you and will probably see you around." Kenzi stated as she decided to head back to the Dal, and she wanted to see Lauren one more time for Bo's sake, at least that is what she told herself.

As Kenzi walked to the curtained off area where the doctor laid, she noticed that the medic that was working on Lauren was still there. "How is she doing?" Not knowing really what to say.

"She is alive, for now. Your friend probably saved her life I think. She will still have the scars I am afraid, but she will be alive." the medic not wanting to sugar coat the information, but wanting to give the doctor's friends the information ahead of time. "But I think if your friend, Bo can give her some of her chi regular she will pull through."

"Oh," not really knowing what to say at the information. "Can she hear what is going on?"

"We induced a coma for her so she would not go into shock. There is some evidence that people in comas can sometimes hear what is going on. Although who knows, I believe it can never hurt to try. Go ahead, I need to run and get some more anti-biotics if you want a moment." As the medic got up to leave, indicating a chair behind Kenzi for her.

"Thanks," As Kenzi pulled up to the bed and bent down so that she could see Lauren's face. "Heya, Doc. You need to get better, Bo is going crazy with you hurt here. And whatever you two have going on, you need to wake up so you can sort your shit out. I know we have not always gotten along, but maybe we can start over. I know all about second chances, and I am willing to try if you are. Now I gotta run, but I will come back later with Bo and talk some more."

As Kenzi left the building she noticed that Hale was still there and walked over to see what he was doing. "Hey good looking."

"Looking good lil mama, whatcha need? the Siren asked the young woman.

"Nothing was just heading back to the Dal, and wanted to make sure you are going to keep yourself safe also."

"You know me, I am too superstar to get hurt. I am about to leave though, you need a lift to the Dal?" The Siren asked his friend, not wanting her to be left here alone. He had seen Bo leave in a rush, followed by Dyson a few moments later.

"If you got time for little ole me."

"Anytime, sweet thing, anytime." As the two headed for Hale's car. Both making idle chit chat to break up the silence that seemed to descend on them both. The situation of everything catching up to them.

Later as they pulled up to the Dal, Kenzi got out of the car and turned to look at her friend before he left. "Just remember you are important to so keep yourself safe okay."

"You too and try and stay out of trouble, at least until I get back to get into it with you." Giving the human a geniue smile, he liked Kenzi a lot she was a good friend. And sometimes he felt the weight of the fae/human love law. As he watched her enter the Dal, before heading off to make sure the elders were safe and sound.

"Trick, we need to talk in private I think." Kenzi told the barkeep, she noticed there were only a few other patrons in the bar and not wanting to talk in the open. And wanting to get Trick's thoughts on her discovery before talking to Gaia, in case she was wrong.
