Trick watched as the only human in the room walked down to the end of the bar to retrieve the papers on the fax machine that he had forgotten about when Thomas and Gaia had gone to see Aife. He was amused at the slight embarrassment that the Russian obviously had at hearing his granddaughter in the throes of passion. He himself didn't want to think of why Bo, would be stopping to have sex in the middle of a case...unless she was injured. He got up from his seat excusing himself from Thomas for a moment who had seemed to be in a trance as he watched the pulsing of his granddaughter's essence. As Trick approached, the young woman he saw her spit out the drink she had just taking and he walked up on her wanting to know what had surprised her. As he placed a hand on her back, Kenzi just looked at him and then in the most serious face she had handed him the paper to read himself.

"We are so fucked." As Kenzi just grabbed the bottle and started to drink the vodka as a true only a true Russian could. Trick heard her mumble between drinks. "we are so going to die. This is going to be so fucked up. We are dead and we just don't know it yet."

"Its okay Kenzi, keep it down. We will figure it out." Trick whispered to her. Not seeing how this could be good for his daughter, granddaughter, or the Fae. As he once more glanced at the news article and read through it.

Undiscovered Archeaological Tomb Found; Abdandoned Child Found Within

June 14, 1981- The worst storm in recorded history hit the slopes of Mount Kripicke in the Carpathenian Mountain Range. Considered a winter spot for skiing the tourist attraction may soon be known for its archeaological find as well. During the storm that swept the region a landslide occurred opening an unknown burial structure in the side of the mountain. Known archaeologist Helena Lewis was the first to arrive at the site, she was on vacation with her husband James Lewis of Lewis Pharmaceutics in the area. Dr. Lewis was able to obtain the permits to explore the site from the authorities stating that she was the most qualified in the area to do just an inspection. However, upon arriving at the site Dr. Lewis had her first surprise when she and her husband found a baby that been obviously abandoned in the tomb. Authorities speculate that the child was abandoned by someone from the nearby camping area. Authorities responded to the area to do a full canvas hoping to find the parents of the child. The child was taking into protective custody. "Its a damn shame that a child is left to endure the elements, I am glad we arrived when we did to save the child." James Lewis was quoted as saying. His wife had this to say, "its tragic really. When parents are willing to just throw away a child, when there are so many people who can't have them." It should be noted that Dr. Lewis suffers from a condition that leaves her unable to give birth. Dr. and Dr. Lewis will be in the area for awhile as she has been given permission to pursue the exploration of this dig site. Any information on the parents of this child (see picture insert) please contact the police department. Dr. James Lewis has put up a reward for any information that leads to the identity of the parent.

Trick continued to read the article but it just stated the efforts of the local authorities in the search for the parents of the missing child. As he looked at the picture shown that had a picture of a baby with hazel eyes and what appeared to be blonde fuzz on her bald head. Most noticible was a dimple set in her chin. As he grabbed the bottle Kenzi was drinking from and poured himself a glass. He picked up the next piece of paper from the fax machine and started to read.

Child Found In Archeaological Site Given New Home

July 8,1981- The abandoned child that was found in the newly opened archeaological site back in June has been given a new home. After several weeks of looking for any information on the identity of baby Jane Doe has lead to no leads, authorities have decided to put the child in a foster home. After an extensive medical checkup which doctors state "the child is 100% healthy and has no immediate medical complications." However, it should be noted that the child did appear to have a slight genetic defect, but authorities were quick to add that it would not cause any issues. Authorities are still looking for any information in regards to the identity of the child or the parents. Local court officials have gone on record stating that if the parents are afraid to come forth due to charges being filed, they are willing to forego charges if counseling is attended.

Trick could not believe this, here it was the information that they needed. Here was the information that they had being looking for, he could not see what Kenzi was worried about this was a good thing. As he took the third sheet off the fax.

Man Claims Abandoned Child

August 31, 1981- A man claiming to be the guardian of the child found in the Mount Kripicke archeaological site barged into the police station. Authorities decided the man was clearly delusional as he spoke of talking to dragons and that he was the only one that could save the child. The man could not give his name except he kept saying Edward no last name given. Authorities transferred the clearly delusional man to the local mental hospital for observation. The chld is still in local foster care. However precautions are now being taken to assure the safety of the child and the foster home itself.

Trick moved to take the last two pieces of papers from the fax machine as he noticed that Gaia was walking towards him. He did not think anything of it as he continued with the next piece of information this one from an old contact of his in the old country.

Trick here is some information I found on the Tomb of Marcus Atrious, I don't know what you are looking for my friend but be careful. Seems a lot of people have had some misfortune with this opening. Drs. James and Helena Lewis were the first on the scene and found an abandoned human child. Not sure how much stuff was actually taken from the tomb but it should be noted that Helena was seen several times with a book that she was trying to decipher. On November 30th, 1981 they officially adopted the child they found in the tomb after a fire broke out in the foster home that the child was staying out (officially the fire was classified as an accident, unofficially some underfae were seen in the area prior to it. Could not find a connection though) The child was named Lauren. The family left to head back to Ontario, Canada. December 21 an explosion was heard at the Mount Kripicke digsite that completely destroyed the tomb, nothing was salvagable. Dr. Lewis relics that were found were "lost in shipping by our people in customs." They appear to know nothing about the Fae but will be monitored for a while to make sure.

As Gaia reached the way-keeper she could see the look on his face. "Trick are you okay? You seem lost in thought." As she noticed that Kenzi had taken another long drink from the bottle at her approach, she saw a fear in her eyes at her looking at her. "What has gotten into you two?"

Trick could not believe what was reading, how could they have missed this. Surely the Light Fae would have done a background check on their coveted doctor. It was well known to Trick and many of the elders that Lauren was a genius when it came to Fae physiology and was well sought after by many for her talents. He had heard rumors that even the Morrigan had tried to recruit her before she chose to be a slave in hopes of finding a cure for her girlfriend. Yes Trick knew the circumstances of Lauren slavery and had been ordered to keep it secret. But this was a lot of inforrmation that should have already been known, unless someone was protecting her.

"Trick?" Gaia again spoke to the waykeeper that looked to be lost in thought.

"Yes everything is alright, I just need to go over this last thing and I may have some answers for you."

"Alright childe, I know you will not break your oath to me." Gaia answered subtley letting reminding the waykeeper of his Blood Oath to her in regards to no matter the outcome of the findings."

Trick merely nodded and pulled the last piece of paper out to read it. And was shocked by what he read. As again he took a drink from his ever filled glass thanks to Kenzi who was pouring his fill as soon as he emptied it.

Tragedy Strikes Ontario Businessman

September 12, 2001- Local Business Leader Dr. James Lewis and his wife Dr. Helena Lewis, a published archeaologist and leading expert on old Germanic cultures were one of the many casualties to come out of the attacks on the World Trade Centers in New York. They were flying back to celebrate their only daughter's admission to John Hopkins Medical School. Dr. Lewis is the co-ceo of Lewis Pharmaceutics and Research a multimillion dollar business along with his brother Philip Lewis. The Lewis' have been major donors to child advocacy groups and medical research, their loss will leave a big hole in the hearts of many that they have helped around the world. Philip Lewis said that his brother and sister-in-law were pioneers in helping the communities and cultures establish much needed medicines and homes. Philip has dedicated that the charity foundations that the Lewis' had already established would continue and that he was personally going to help with their legacy. Lauren Lewis could not be reached at this time, but she did issue a statement stating that her parents fostered a love of science and research that she hoped to continue. The Lewis' family is currently estimated to be worth 800 million dollars, with Lauren being the major beneficiary of the estate. However, at this time it has been learned that all controlling interest in the corporation was given to Philip in his Dr. Lewis' will should anything happen to him and his wife. Philip Lewis is estimated to be worth over 2 billion dollars at this time. Him and his wife live in California, in the United States.

Trick had to sit down, all this time no one knew Dr. Lewis history as far as he could tell. He looked up to see Gaia looking straight at him. "Revered Elder, I know who your daughter is and you have met her already." As he glanced over at Kenzi who only took another drink from the bottle.

"We are all so fucked," she slurred fearing that her life was about to end violently and painfully.

"You must understand no one knew. She is not even Fae, there was no way anyone could tell. Please understand that." Trick started, he could see the apprehension appear in Gaia eyes, and just a hint of fury.

"Tell me, now. You gave your oath." Gaia now demanded, her patience had now met its end. She could tell Trick and Kenzi were holding something back. As the air seemed to shimmer with power around the Ancient, and then she felt a calming hand on her shoulder as she looked to see Thomas holding out the crystal.

"Let them explain friend. They seem just as surprised at the identity." Thomas spoke calmly and evenly, calming the Ancient down just as quickly as her fury had developed. "Besides I am the one with the anger issue here."

"Your right old friend," turning to face Trick and Kenzi. "Forgive me, I am just so worried about her that it is taking everything to hold it together."

"No apologies necessary, and I assure you I would not keep this from you. It is just a shock, we know this person. I consider her a friend and collegue, it is just I never knew her past. And that actually worries me, with what I know."

"I understand and I am glad she had such a good friend, but please just tell me who it is."

Trick looked at Kenzi and saw her nod her head, knowing they were going to have to tell her anyway. Trick nodded and looked back at two of the most powerful beings on the planet. Not sure how they were going to take the news that Lauren had almost died by not only a Fae but by the very same Fae they had just rescued from the Garuda possession. Just as he started to speak a loud crash came from the door and a very happy succubus came waltzing in alone.

"Bo, thank god you are here," as Kenzi threw her arms around her bestie. As she looked at everyone in the room, noticing Aife sitting on a seat comfortable eating a sandwich and reading a book with her legs folded under her. And the tall man she had seen outside the Dal a few hours earlier, his aura a golden color.

"Hello, I have someone you will want to met, but first I wanted to prepare you for one of the most stubborn people you are going to meet." The smile that was on the succubus' face alleviated most of the tension in the room. As she watched Gaia and the man both step towards her in a non-threatening way. As she looked behind her and not seeing the doctor behind her. "Dammit I told her not to start talking to those people. Hold on again." As she walked to the door and reached out to grab someone and pulled her into the room. Kenzi squealed so loud and lept to give the doctor a breath taking hug.

"OMG you are alright, Hotpants don't you ever do that again." As she realized what she was doing, "Because seriously Bo went all emo-crazy. Me nothing." As she hugged her one more time before stepping around to the smirking succubus and telling her "Shut up."

Bo pulled the reluctant blonde further into the room and stood before Gaia. Lauren looked at the Sister of Life and understood what the Ash was saying about that they were very powerful. She could feel the power coming from her and even more so from the man standing right behind her. And years of discipline took over as she dropped to her knee and bowed her head so fast she almost brought Bo down with her who had her arm linked with hers.

"Ahh crap..." was the only thing Kenzi said as she saw the sudden fury in Thomas' eyes as they glowed a golden light that was so intense it was white. Only to be matched by the red fury of the Ancient mother's eyes.
