The Dal
Bo watched Charlotte and Lauren run after Evony and she had to laugh at the sight but there was nothing funny about what she was thinking now. Trick had pimped out their daughter long before she was born. She had an inkling he would have done the same with a boy. It was unacceptable. He would always be suspect in anything from here on out and as a parent she couldn't allow it to be.
She watched him try and retreat to his lair like he normally does and she had an idea. Following him down she watched him walk around in circles wondering what he was going to do.
"Does this agreement that you wrote for the Thornwoods have anything to do with Charly being sick? Bo asked. She was done screwing around with Trick.
"It does. Once Eunice died, the agreement was broken and she was likely feeling the spell wearing off", Trick said.
"So that's all over right? Bo asked. Bo was unusually calm but she needed answers and knew Trick was more susceptible if she kept a cool head.
Trick paced around the room. He had seen Bo like this before and it made him nervous. So nervous that he needed to put a good amount of distance between them.
Kenzi and Tamsin
"Bo and Lauren found Charlotte and I have an idea so that's why we are heading back to their house", Kenzi said explaining to Tamsin why she was trying to break the speed limit.
"Whatever it is couldn't be this important", Tamsin said gripping her seat and hoping the air bags worked.
"I need to find out now before the next disaster strikes", Kenzi said. Kenzi was an Aunt now and she would take that as seriously as if she was a mother.
"That's true we haven't even had one night's peace since Charlotte was born", Tamsin said. She wasn't complaining. Charlotte is adorable and important to all of them. So whatever Kenzi was up to, she was game.
Kenzi pulled into the driveway slamming on the break as she stopped and popped out of the car with Tamsin closely behind her. They ran upstairs and into Lauren's office.
"Ah ha. Here we are", Kenzi said pointing to monitors.
Tamsin took a seat next to her and they both stared into the security camera footage. Twenty minutes passed before Kenzi saw something that piqued her interest.
"Is that? Tamsin asked.
"Yeah. The same car I noticed when we pulled out of here today. The same car that I have seen for days pulling in and out of their driveway. I thought they were lost but seeing them tonight proved they were out here for a reason", Kenzi said.
"Well Lauren said she installed them to film everywhere but their bedroom. We have a good view of the driveway too", Tamsin said.
Kenzi and Tamsin watched the car turn around and Kenzi was able to zoom in and get a screen shot of the license plate. She grabbed a notepad and scribbled it down.
"I will take this to my car and run the plates. Stay here and watch to see how many other times they have come by and if they ever had other cars with them", Tamsin said running from the room.
"Ok you little bitches. Let's see how many of you are stalking us", Kenzi said turning her full attention to the video footage. She was impressed how many angles Lauren was able to get. There wasn't a spot outside of the house that they couldn't see. She laughed thinking how hard Lauren slept that she didn't hear Charlotte breaking out while she was worried about people breaking in.
Twenty minutes passed and Tamsin returned. "I got a name".
"Do you have a picture too? Kenzi asked.
"No but we need to see Megan tonight because that car is registered to Dr. Smith", Tamsin said.
"But Bo said he's dead. Who else is he working with? Kenzi asked pulling her phone out to call Megan.
Ten minutes later they all agreed to meet in Kenzi's office at Geraldine's. Kenzi needed a really stiff drink and she needed to make sure the place hadn't been taken over or burned down.
Dark Fae Compound.
"This is what we needed! Steven explained.
"We can finally take Evony down right? Greg asked.
"Yes this is all the proof we need that Evony was behind my Uncle Mayer's death.
Greg looked at Steven for a moment. Why would Evony kill a luck Fae? She was literally one handed now thanks to Lauren and she needed all the luck she could get right now.
"How are we going to use this? Greg asked.
"We are going to the Elders right now. They liked Mayer as much as Vex and will pay a high price for this information", Steven explained.
"What price that they wouldn't want for themselves? Greg asked.
"I already talked to them while you were out and running around. This news would make me leader of the Dark Fae and I will get a little justice for Bruce", Steven said. He missed Bruce and knew one day his brother would have been leader, had it not been for Evony's constant meddling.
"Umm you do realize the Succubus killed Bruce", Greg said softly. He wasn't trying to start an argument or cause Steven further pain. He just wanted to know what was going on and if his life would be in danger too. Steven and Bruce were Evony's best guards and Greg was barely a henchmen.
"I have no beef with the Succubus. I would have been pissed too given all that those bastard Una Mens did to Lauren. She's important to Kenzi and Kenzi was important to Bruce", Steven said. Bruce and Steven despised the Una Mens. They were nothing but a gang of emotionless twats.
Now that they had what they needed they called for an emergency meeting to remove Evony from power.
Charlotte Lauren and Evony.
Lauren had exited the Dal and laughed at what she saw. Charlotte had Evony by her ankle.
"Charly baby what do you have in your teeth? Lauren laughed.
"Stop laughing and get this little monstrosity off of me", Evony screamed.
Lauren walked up and punched her. "Wanna try that again?
Evony spit some blood out and turned back to Lauren. "Get this little bitch off of me. Better? She laughed but Lauren punched her again.
"She knows you're evil. So what do you want? Lauren asked watching Evony trying to to fix mouth so she would look presentable.
"I wanted to see what all the hoopla was about that made so many people want her but now I see. She's well advanced for her age", Evony hissed pointing down at Charlotte who still had her teeth deep inside Evony's ankle.
"If you ever come near my daughter again. I will eat all of you", Lauren roared at the Morrigan.
Evony didn't know what to do. Charlotte still had her ankle in her mouth and Lauren was roaring at her to the extent she could feel her hot breath on her face.
Trick's lair.
Bo had ripped Trick's lair to bits. She didn't believe him that the spell was over. She knew him too well to believe anything. There was always something else to his bullshit. When she found what she was looking for, her anger intensified tenfold.
"What the fuck is this? Bo snapped looking at Trick.
"Bo I can explain", Trick said.
"And right now! Bo snapped holding up a book that said Isabeau's children.
"Bo that's not what you think", Trick said.
"I think you're stalling. Speak! Bo said stalking him now.
When Trick paced back and forth, Bo decided to look inside the book. He lied. The spells weren't over. He had written one for every child the young Succubus would have. Bo took the book and threw it into the fireplace. Once every page had dissolved to nothing she turned to Trick who was slowly backing up.
"You know you're dead right...Trick? Bo hissed.
"Bo...", Trick said trying to keep his back towards the exit. If he turned around he knew he was doomed. Perhaps if he stared at her. Pleaded with her, she would listen to reason.
"Silly Blood King. Tricks are for kids", The Succubus laughed mocking him.
Trick's blood ran cold. Besides Charlotte, here stood the last of his bloodline standing threateningly in front of him. With more anger than he had ever seen in Aife. Not even when she lost her mother had he seen anyone like this. Nobody dared to challenge the Blood King. Bo was a different Fae. Far more powerful than he could have imagined. Her temper unmatched by anyone he ever crossed.
"Bo. I only wanted what was best for her...them", Trick said. He was losing ground. His back was almost against the wall.
"You only wanted what was best for you, by living your sick fantasies through them. But you're about to fix that right now", The Succubus said throwing his bag at him.
"Bo...I Can't", Trick said. He always knew what the ramifications of what writing in his blood meant.
"You will sit and write everything I tell you to write in your Blood King language and in English", The Succubus snapped pushing Trick into the nearest chair.
Trick couldn't do anything. His back was literally against the wall and there was too much space between him, the Succubus, his normal and secret exits.
"Write I Fitzpatrick McCorrigan do hereby decree all previous laws, and spells will no longer affect Isabeau Dennis McCorrigan or Lauren Lewis' children present or future", The Succubus hissed. She stood over Trick like a teacher watching a student write.
When she was satisfied that he had written all of it down. She stood him up. She smiled as the blood dripped from his arms. "That looks like it hurts".
"Bo...", Trick said weakly.
"You want to know why I had you write it down knowing I am going to kill you? The Succubus laughed.
"Bo...", Trick said again.
"I don't trust this Fae bullshit. I never have so as a failsafe I had you write it down so somehow it's already a law and Charlotte will be protected. And as for your death? Well let's just say it won't be pretty", The Succubus said shoving her blade in chest allowing him to fall to the floor. She watched him spit up blood as more poured out of him.
"It didn't have to be this way. But you took my kids' future in your hands. If you had your way, Lauren and I would have never been together either. You always tried to run other people's lives no wonder mom was so rebellious", The Succubus said slowly circling Trick.
The Blood King was done and the Succubus knew it. She grabbed the book he had written in for her and picked the both of them up. She walked towards the fireplace and threw Trick in it holding his book. Taking a seat she watched him scream out for her. He had no way to escape she had trapped him inide. Seeing him turn to bones and then dust she stood up to leave. Since she wasn't sure how long Trick's spell would last she figured him dying with the book was good enough for her kids to be safe. She laughed at the word kids. She had one out of the blue and didn't even know yet how they did it.
She walked back up to bar and saw Parker was working. "You can take the night off. In fact take the rest of your life off", The Succubus said pulling some money from the register and handing it all to him. When he saw her blue eyes, he took it and ran. She slowly turned to pour herself a drink. Taking one last look around to make sure there were no customers in the bar. She wrote a note saying the Dal Riata was closed until futher notice from the Succubus and hung it on the door on her way out.
Unknown location.
"I want Bo Dennis and her child now! Mr. Williams spat around the room.
"Sir it hasn't been easy getting to her", Stewart said.
"Why not!? Mr. Williams spat again. He was tired of the excuses.
"She's guarded. We have only been able to get into the driveway before something or someone else has come out of there or stopped by" Stewart said.
"Bring me the woman or her baby. She murdered my son and she must pay. If i can't have her, then a child for a child", Mr Williams spat. He had waited long enough to get his hands on Bo and his patience was long gone.
Kenzi , Tamsin and Megan
The trio were sitting in Kenzi's office. Geraldine's was busy and Kenzi was happy about that. She had to remove a few unruly guests but other than that the money was pouring in and the remaining guests were enjoying themselves.
"So what do you have? Kenzi asked Megan.
"Dr. Smith was working with someone by the name of Williams", Megan said pulling the file sheet out and handing Kenzi a USB.
"What's the first name? Kenzi asked looking at the file. All she could see was Williams.
"Scott Williams", Megan said putting the USB in Kenzi's computer.
"Williams...Williams...oh shit! Kenzi said turning pale white.
"What do you know the guy? Tamsin asked jumping from her seat.
"Umm no but Bo does", Kenzi said. She knew she needed to get to her and not tell them anything more than they needed to know.
"Well tell us then", Tamsin said.
"No Bo can tell you...will tell you. Let's go", Kenzi said.
Bo, Lauren, Charlotte and Evony
Evony and Lauren had been going back and forth for an hour with insults. Evony wasn't buying Lauren saying she would kill her knowing the Doctor was normally against violence but when she nearly bit her other hand off the Morrigan limped back towards her car with Charlotte finally releasing her.
"Charlotte come here baby", Bo called.
The young shifter ran to her mother while Lauren and Evony looked on in shock. Bo's eyes were a deep blue and her voice unworldly yet Charlotte knew she would be safe as she ran to her as called.
"What's going on here? Bo asked. She smiled noticing the Morrigan limping.
"N...nothing. I was just leaving", Evony said hopping on one leg towards the door her driver was holding open for her.
"Bo? Hey sweetie are you ok? Lauren asked gently cupping the Succubus' cheek.
"I finally know where both of you are and nobody is going to separate us again", Bo answered taking Lauren in her arms.
Lauren stared at Bo and watched her look back and forth between her and Charlotte. Something was different about Bo and she couldn't figure it out. Given all that has happened lately, she wasn't going to push her. She would relish in the joy that they were all in the same place and safe.
"Hey Kenzi", Bo said answering her phone.
"Bo you need to come home and now", Kenzi said.
"Kenzi. Charlotte's fine, Lauren's fine, I'm fine. What's the urgency? Bo asked.
"Bo I can't tell you over the phone. Not without you being on a burner phone", Kenzi said.
"Fine Kenzi we will be right there", Bo said hanging up.
"What's wrong? Lauren asked seeing sudden sadness and worry in Bo's eyes.
"Kenzi said we need to get home so let's go and find out what's up", Bo half smiled taking Lauren's hand in hers.
Twenty minutes passed and they had made it home. Kenzi had thanked Megan for her help and sent she and Tamsin away. She knew this needed to remain between herself, Bo and Lauren.
"What's up Kenzi? Bo said cradling Charlotte as they all stood in the living room.
"Scott Williams is looking for you Bo", Kenzi said staring at the family in front of her. She had never seen Bo so content and these bastards just keep coming for them.
"Scott Williams? Who is that? Lauren asked looking back and forth.
Bo handed her Charlotte. She didn't want to take the chance on her running off again and took her seat.
"Kyle's...Kyle's father", Bo said.
"What? Lauren asked. She hadn't remembered him having a father remembering she had looked it up.
"Are...are you sure it's him Kenzi? Bo asked softly.
"Yes from what Megan told me. He was a close friend of Doctor Smith. When he saw your name on Lauren's paperwork, he had been keeping tabs on all of you", Kenzi said.
"Shit", Bo swallowed hard.
"That's not all Bo. This guy is a marksman. He's retired military", Kenzi said.
"What. What does he want? Bo asked.
"According to the notes Megan found, Dr. Smith was supposed to get Charlotte and bring her to him", Kenzi said handing over the paperwork she had been referring to.
Lauren helped Bo settle into her chair before handing Charlotte to her. Picking up the paperwork she scanned it again. Kyle's sister, Mel died last year and told Mr. Williams on her death bed about how she had found Bo but didn't go into any futher details before she passed. When her name popped up on the hospital paperwork, Dr. Smith had notified him. He was supposed to get Charlotte before they discharged.
Lauren was impressed with his military records. Kenzi was right he was a skilled marksman and also a Doctor like Lauren with many degrees. He had been deployed on a secret misssion shortly after Kyle died and Mrs. Williams couldn't get ahold of him.
"Shit. Kyle", Bo said pulling Charlotte closer.
"What could he want after all this time? Kenzi asked. It had been years and Mel seemed to be satisfied with the answers Hale gave her. Why tell anyone she found Bo?
"He wants revenge on me, Lauren or Charly', Bo said with her eyes flashing blue.
TBC.
