Hidden souls (closed)

[Asa]

Bo thought for a moment.

Kenzi see if Trick will let you look through the book of Fae lore we are looking for something that causes nightmares telepathy or attacks the mind... something.

As Kenzi left Bo looked to Dyson and Hale.

What's the story in the people who were killed? Fae... mortal.... into the environment make an oilspill look like a picnic... what's their story?

 

[Cobra2004]

Dyson didn’t like the way this thing was developing, first it was just some murder now we may have fey at works. He nodded to Bo after she sent Kenzi to check with, then she looked to Dyson and Hale maybe for their opinion.

We don’t really know how may were killed, we were called to check on the one with Charlie the others if there are more I don’t yet. I can tell this much though, the stiff we saw was definitely human if that’s what you’re asking.

 

[Asa]

No... no something going after humans maybe using nightmares to make humans kill other humans for some reason.

She began to pace a little deep in thought.

Hale thought too. There are some that can affect the mind... I'll go help Kenzi research and see what we can find out on the fae end ... ya'll take the human side this time.

 

[Cobra2004]

You could be right Bo and until we know more that’s all we can do, and just in case we better keep Charlie in here than turn him lose. Both Bo and Hale had that thinking looks about them and waited to hear what they had to say.

Sounds like a plan Hale. You go ahead and see how Kenzi is doing and I’ll see that Charlie has a comfortable cell to sleep in; I don’t like him out there alone. He looked at Bo still with her thinking cap in.

What about you Bo you want hang out together after I get Charlie settle and see what we can find out about all this.

 

[Asa]

Bo nodded. Yeah we should have some way to record what he says and does but keep him safe here.

She looked to the strange little man he looked at peace for now but how long would that last. Looking to Dyson she was clearly locked on the case but still was glad that Dyson was there.

Can you smell anything strange about him past the stale gin and blood?

 

[Cobra2004]

Give me a few minutes Bo while I get Charlie settled. He called one of guards and told him to keep Charlie in a cell, but make him comfortable and safe.

On his back to Bo he kept thinking about the crime scene and Charlie being there and drunk. He thought about what Bo asked before about Charlie’s stale scent and as he thought some more he was sure Charlie didn’t do it.

I’m not sure about the smell Bo but something about the evidence is bugging me. In realty if you hold a knife to kill someone, you’ll have a tight grip on the handle. He looked at Bo and took one on her finger to demonstrate by gipping it tight.

Charlie hand was socked with blood and so was the handle, and if you’re going to kill with a knife you’ll grip the handle fairly tight like so, and not much blood would get between the palm and the handle you see what I’m getting at.

I think someone put the knife in Charlie’s hand, and being drunk as he was, Charlie wouldn’t even know what happened, and in his state he couldn’t even kill a baby never mind a grown man.

 

[Asa]

Then we need to figure out who or what nightmare man is since he had Charlie mention us I think.

Suddenly Bo had an idea and quickly placed a call.

Yes I need to speak to the Morrigan.

Looking to Dyson she knee he was not going to like what she was about to do but she waould ease the situation and make the meeting at Tricks since it was neutral ground.

Yes Morigan its Bo... looks like I will be needing that favor after all. A meeeting with Vex and your blood woods that he will answer all of my questions honestly. Good bring him to Tricks and declare your blood word that your associate will answer with absolute honesty to prove he is not suspect number one in a fae based murder.

I thought you would see it my way... see you both there say in an hour... great.

Hanging up she turned to Dyson knowing she would see concern the Vex has nearly killed her before.

Hey at least its on neutral ground just have Trick have little lie detector chick there. And with you Hale Kenzi and Trick there I will be perfectly safe. Vex wont cross Morrigan and Morrigan wont do anything to risk pushing towards the light fae.

 

[Cobra2004]

I know we’ll figure it out eventually but right now w. Dyson didn’t get to finish as Bo got on her cell. Dyson had that feeling he wasn’t going to like this. At the mentioning of the Vex Dyson’s hackles went up on the back of his neck.

The Vex almost killed her and now she wanted to meet with him, was she out of her mind. The problem was that once she got an idea in her head, she was going to fallow it no matter what.

Bo I don’t like that idea one little bit, and I doubt the Vet cares its neutral ground if he wants to kill for whatever reason.

Knowing Bo no one could change her mind and he conceded, but at least there were enough there to take care of the Vet if need be.

Just as long you know I am not in favor of this meeting with the Vet.

 

[Asa]

I know... but in all honesty my case back then did bring unwanted mortal lint on Vex club. I know he is too crazy to fear Trick and we both know the Morrigan is... that's why I called in the favor like I did... she announces that before associate will answer in all honesty whatever questions We have. Trick hears it and holds her to it. And I ha e not one but two dark fae over a barrel having to play nice.

She smiled to him with a wink. She loved these little victories over the rulers of the light and dark fae. Now with Dyson in his own way at her side... Kenzi and Hale and in his own way Trick she knew she was safe.

Now we have time to kill so now what?

 

[Cobra2004]

Your cases always bring the worst on us all but mainly it puts you in danger all the times, and it worry’s the hell out of me. If it wasn’t because he was creasy about her, he would let her get herself out of this problem. She sure knew how to get around him as she smiled and winked at him, and it was as if she won some sort of prize, but she depended of him and everyone else and he would help her. I just hope this is not going to blow up in our faces.

I’m sure between the two of us we’ll find a way to kill all the spare time we have to spare. He reached for her and kissed her passionately.

 

[Asa]

She smiled curling into the kiss with an almost purr. Arms snaking around him as she pressed into the kiss with her own passion before pushing him away a little. Looking deep into his eyes she knew he worried.

After we help Charlie I will try to take it a little more easy but I can't just stop taking the cases that I do... people might get suspicious.

Resting a hand on his chest she just stared into his eyes. The faintest of teasing lust energy slithering from her hand to his chest.

So you free to get going or do you have more work here to do?

 

[Cobra2004]

They kissed passionately till things began to get a little too hot, and before Dyson broke the kiss Bo pushed him back a little looking into his eyes.

I’m not asking you not to take more cases and you can’t really choose them, just be more careful what case you take. Charlie will be fine here for now and maybe once we join the others we can come up with something.

Dyson didn’t like the way she was looking at now because they were in the Police station, and her look spelled sex and they better get the hell away and soon.

Yes I’m done here and free for us to get going.

 

[Asa]

She smiled and turning to go she watched them carry Charlie to a cell. The human cases she took were for those who could not fight back or were so overrun with their own mortal demons really she could not see the sport in fae hurting them. If she could do it whoever nightmare man was he was gonna pay dearly for this.

Anger now Debbie.g through her her steps became more determined as she left the building. Her dark eyes colder and her expression was now go it pause I not completely sending people quickly scurrying from her spooked. Once outside she took a deep breath and waited for Dyson trying to calm down some. Vex had better not cross her today.

 

[Cobra2004]

Deep down inside Dyson knew it was a losing battle convincing Bo to be careful, but he had to do something so she would stay alive. She looked furious and her steps were hitting the ground more than normal, not mentioning the look in her eyes.

Dyson went with the guard to make sure Charlie was made comfortable than left to join Bo. She looked a little calmer but not by much, and then they both headed to his car to drive over to Tricks place.

 

[Asa]

Turning around to face him for a moment her anger was not at him it seemed to just be situations around the case.

I can't stand how a fae could torture some poor drunk old man like Charlie... Where is the sport in that Dyson... Tell me... That poor mortal has enough demons of his own without some ego maniac Fae fucking with his mind even more. And the Ash and The Morrigan wonder why I refuse to choose a side.

Her anger was brewing deep on this... the Fae world was not going to get out of this case of hers unscathed. She would go through Trick to prove whoever was doing this deserved death if she had to or she knew Kenzi would back her if she killed the being out of "Self Defense". Once she had said her rant she noticed some of the other mortal cops giving Dyson entertaining looks as if pitying him getting in trouble with a girlfriend or something and bit back a laugh as she whispered...

Sorry hope they won't tease you much later over this.

 

[Cobra2004]

I wouldn’t worry too much why some fae do what they do. The fact is they have no love for humans, and they do many things because they can, and deep down they enjoy torturing them for fun. I wouldn’t be a bit surprise if this thing with Charlie was nothing but some fae’s idea of having fun with him.

Dyson could tell Bo was heating up inside, he could almost see the steam coming out of her nose. He had the feeling she was up to something, or getting ready to kill someone.

You mean those back there? No they never do really they know me well enough not to, and if anything they wished they were in my place. He laughed looking at her.

 

[Asa]

Yeah unfortunately when I play with Mortals they tend to end up dead... which really sucks if I really like them.

She laughed and then to "give em a show" she reached up and pulled Dyson's face to hers and sealed a seriously hungry passionate kiss to his lips. Breaking away she winked to him then to the others and walked away.

 

[Cobra2004]

Maybe you should start thinking of some other way to play and stay away from humans, and it’s like I said some time it’s the necessity that makes us evil looking to humans.

Bo laughed and before Dyson knew it she was kissing him passionately. He smiled at her and hoped she was cooling down somewhat before they got to Tricks place

 

[Asa]

She waited till he caught up.

As for staying away form humans... thats why I have you... you can handle my feeding without dying and if needed you can break the feed.

Walking along with him at a "proper distance" as they neared Tricks she smirked seeing the Morrigan nearly dragging Vex by the ear growling orders to him and the mighty manipulator looking like a groveling little urchin. All of his ego and bravado gone while her power and command seemed overflowing with ruthless power.

Bo quickly slipped into Tricks so those two would not see her laugh. Quickly informing Kenzi Trick and Hale what was about to happen then sitting at the bar waiting with a reserve of control over her laughter that she could scarcely believe herself as The Morrigan and Vex walked in and the Morrigan began to speak for all to hear though directed mainly to those she was dragging her minion to answer to.

I bring to this establishment Vex who is the requested favor for questioning in a potentially Fae related case. Any lies he tells will fall back on the Dark Fae... as a whole... as it will make us all appear we have something to hide in this matter. IF any here Dark or... She growled... Light Fae are so blessed with sight of truth he is at your mercy. His orders are absolute truth... I now Leave him to this interregation and his fate if he lies...

Another growled statement directed solely at Vex... Which he had better NOT do anything to piss me off... Got it

Vex nodded with his attempt to return to his charmer act... Never ever anger you beautiful... I will behave this time.

Trick stood there and Nodded. So noted if your minion does not hold true to your word it will fall to YOU.

Morrigan looked to Bo not daring look at or admit Trick had superseded her words of it falling on all dark fae ... He's all yours Succubus. With that she turned to walk out quickly.

Vex walked over to Bo looking to Dyson... Now before you get all defensive Rin Tin Tin... My actions last time lovely Bo's and my paths crossed were not to kill her... just make her need to feed... Wanted to let her see what our side had to offer in "Hot blooded" meals.

Vex was a strange freaky being even for a Fae both pushing peoples buttons for combat and some rumors of strange bedroom fetishes of his own. He looked to Bo and smiled... That offer still stands goddess... but those eyes are still too business for now so what ya want to know? He motioned for her to lead the way to the private alcove with a couple of couches in it still with that creepy perverted smile on his face.

Trick to at least stop Kenzi put a burger and a bottle of fae created alcohol in front of her and looked to Hale with a look that said keep your partner in line. As they all walked away Trick spoke up again. Safe Sanctuary Neutral ground... remember that!

Vex turned bowing at Tricks words. Bo lifted her hand as if to gesture Okay got it. Hale nodded and took an almost sentry post in the doorway of the alcove blocking them in and everyone else out.

 

[Cobra2004]

Dyson stood taller when Vex walked over to Bo and looked at him, and addressing him as Rin…Tin..Tin… didn’t sit well Dyson. He gave him a stare and made a point to rip his throat out the first time he caught him committing a crime. Dyson could really grow to hate that little shit, unless he killed him first.

This time Dyson was bound by their rules and he was to stay with the others, but not too far away that he couldn’t jump the distance to reach the Vex. He leaned by the door next to Hall so he could hear what they said, but they were talking softer and he could only get part of what was said.

 

[Asa]

Bo sat down and watched him making sure to put a table between them.

First... I'd break you and now that the petty bullshit is out of the way time for questioning

Vex simply nodded but did not hide his roaming eyes.

First... Have you ever heard of any Fae with the "nickname" or title of Nightmare man?

Vex thought for a moment... No... can't say that I have love.

Ignoring him calling her love she continued.

How many Dark Fae are in this town that can affect a humans dreams?

I would have to say that would be a small number maybe 4 or 5 so not to overtax the herd ya know. You working a case you think one like that caused?

I'll ask the questions... so What is in town that could do that?

There was a Baku that came through but as far as I know he left then there are simply the nightmares... Of course I could protect you from any of them better than the Lassie knock off cop... though if you are talking about that crazy old man Charlie... Vengeful spirits always tryin to get him to help them... he can tell what our kinds are ya know... but no one knows how... I could make it worth your while lovely if you find out how for us... not just we dark fae but all of us...

Bo listened carefully and after a few more questions she sent him away with Hale making sure he left the alcove and her alone. Sitting back thinking on what he said she barely noticed when everyone else wandered into the alcove. Trick watched her for a few moments before speaking.

The Baku has not left that I know of just sick of Vex and the others wanting him to constantly party and mess with people for their amusement.

 

[Cobra2004]

From the bits and pieces Dyson could pick up, He knew Vex was lying through his teeth while his eyes were roving over Bo’s chest.

The word Baku caught his ears, it was the name of Fae he knew of, and he wondered what Vex was saying about him. He was one of the good Fae as far Dyson knew of him, and then Dyson looked at Vex with heated eyes when he offered to protect her and called him a Lassie knock off cop.

Yea, you keep that up your little shit, but one of this day you’ll make a slip and I’ll be right there than well see whops going to protect you from me.

After Bo was through with the Vex they all went in the alcove to talk about Bo finding. One thing was sure. Vex did lied about Baku being gone, Trick confirmed that Baku never left. He didn’t want to have anything to do with playing their games for fun.

 

[Asa]

Kenzi laughed...

So that weasel lied this will fall back on that Morrigan bitch...

Trick shook his head no. The Baku told them he was leaving. He can't be tracked by light or dark fae since his power is only over mortal dreams. I will talk to him. He is outcast among other Baku due to not only being half Baku but what his father is believed to be...

He looked to Dyson and Hale knowing they would understand the magnitude...

An elemental... judge jury and executioner class to anyone or this.g that does not heed their warnings about their chosen home.

Hale spoke in unison with him on the last part... before becoming a cop he ha run a foul of a female of that kind and still had the scars to prove it. With that news he quickly made a phone call.

News on the deceased... really... well thank you.

Turning to the others he smiled that I knew it smile.

The dead family... she and her boss investigated for illegal dumping potential.tially toxic waste and hubby is the main contractor trying to tear down the Ratchiff forest reserve.

 

[Cobra2004]

Dyson shook his head when Trick said no and said that Baku told them he was leaving. Trick was sure full of bad news for them, and he shrugged his shoulders when he looked at him. Hal told everyone what happened to him, tangling with one their females, than he made a phone call.

Dyson looked at him smiling after he said thank you, and explained about the illegal dumping of toxic waste. This case is getting more confusing every minute, and he was not looking forward to it.

 

[Asa]

The Baku...I know this one... Kenzi piped up. From your book Japanese nightmare bringer.

Trick nodded. The other half of his Fae powers calls the Ratchiff Forest Reserve home. He may be the guilty party... or he has guided the hands of mortals to take care of the problem on his behalf... I will talk to him... You said this Charlie person is homeless... find out if you can if he has been living in or near the Ratchiff Forest Reserve... The Baku may view him as one of his to protect and use as a messenger...

Bo nodded. Trick if it is him... if he is the one behind this... how do we go about appeasing the mortal laws and courts and not just hand over a fae for death?

Hale tilted his head curious to hear the answer to that one as well.

Trick sighed. Unfortunately we may have to sacrifice the human that did the actual murder... The Baku only kill mortals in their sleep and you said they were murdered not simply death by dawn... I will see what he will tell me... Dyson when do they want this case wrapped up... Mortal speaking anyways?
