"So where does a Fae sex-killer grow up anyway?" "Small town Midwest." "All car shows and church socials." "Ooh." "That would turn me homicidal." "Do you ever go back?"

"Did somebody tell you we were gonna live like savages?" "Just lift." "Unh!" "Filling this place is one thing, paying for it is another." "No problem." "Really?" "You hoping I have some Fae-money power I wasn't aware of?" "Didn't cost a thing." "We sort of liberated it." "Oh, no." "No, no, we are not thieves." ""Thieves" is such a harsh word." "Think of it more as redistribution." "Okay, let's get one thing straight." "We stay alive as long as we don't piss off the Fae." "We are not doing anything that draws extra attention to ourselves." "Are you good with that?" "Define "good. "" "Aah!" "Shit!" "Holy crap!" "Sorry about the couch." "Oh!" "You have two seconds to tell us who you are and what you're doing." "Wow." "Look at you."

"Hell on the furniture, but it's kept me alive a long time." "All good things come to an end, buddy." "See?" "See, people go right to the violence." "And they wonder why I stay elusive." "Tell us what you want." "Then elusive yourself out of here." "Most people call me Will." "I'm a Will O' the Wisp." "Sure that's not Chas of the chunky or Bob of the Butterball?" "Hey, I wrestle with my weight." "What can I say?" "You were telling us why you're here." "Here's the deal." "I'm a woodland Fae." "Light, just so you know." "I live in the forest outside of town." "Skipping and a-jumping all the day?" "Hey, there's no shame in that." "There are humans who wander into my turf, crashing through the woods, cutting down trees, looking for my treasure." "Whoa." "Whoa, did you just say "treasure"?" "Hey, get with the programme." "That's what this is all about." "Diamonds, rubies, emeralds." "Sir, have a seat." "Have a seat." "That smell isn't bothering me at all." "Okay." "So I spend my nights searching for precious stones." "What, like they're just lying around?" "If you know where to look." "Most humans that have heard about it and are searching," "I'm able to throw them off with a few well-placed fires." "But there's this one human." "He's been hunting me for years." "A couple nights ago, he got past the best I could throw at him and found my stash." "I got home, and it was gone." "All of it." "And you want me to help get it back." "Why not?" "You're smart, you're capable." "Best of all, you're not part of the system." "Okay." "So why would you trust me?" "Because..." "I have something you'll want." "I'm not a big fan of riddles." "First of all, I have to know something." "It's about your feet." "Kinky." "Oh, please." "Grow up, will you?" "When I heard about the girl, didn't know where she came from, thought it might be you, but I need to know for sure." "Do you have a birthmark on your left foot above the heel?" "How did you know?" "Oh, true story, this." "Happened 28 years ago." "I was minding my own business, and all of a sudden, there's this woman crashing through." "And we're supposed to care, why?" "Because the bundle she was carrying was a baby, a little Fae girl with a birthmark on her left foot just above the heel." "Bam!" "Got your interest now, right?" "What do you know?" "Uh-uh." "Not so fast." "That only happens after you help me out." "You realise it might be hard to find some random guy that stole your stuff?" "He dropped this." "Maybe there's something in here that'll help you track him." "Hm." "Heh, heh, heh." "Hey." "I'll see what I can do." "Uh, heh." "What she means by that is she'll see what she can do for a price." "We can talk flat rate or a return of the percentage, or something like that." "Excuse us." "Look, this is not about money." "I need to know about my parents." "Do you really think this bozo can tell you anything?" "It's a chance I'm willing to take." "Saturday, I'm out with Katia." "The girl I was telling you about." "Remind me." "Human or Fae?" "This girl is all Fae." "Okay?" "So after dinner, we're having a drink, listening to music, one thing leads to another." "Amazing how that happens." "So we're kissing, she's running her hands through my hair, stroking my man chest." "Stop it." "Suddenly, there are too many hands." "Yeah." "I open my eyes, two of her, man." "Yeah." "A Gemini?" "Yes." "Both drop-dead gorgeous, both of them wanting it bad." "Just the way you are qualified to deliver." "I have sung my way into a lot of women's pants over the years, but I promise you, this was the most profound night of my life." "They played ice-cream sandwich." "I was the ice cream." "Hey, man, that sounds profound." "Yeah." "Why I tell you is this:" "She's got a twin sister, okay?" "Also a splitter, also gorgeous." "So you, me, Katia, Karen, double date." "Technically, that's a quadruple date, but let me get back to you." "I think I got something to take care of." "And I thought I was in over my head." "How did you get in here?" "I said that I was your girlfriend." "Nobody seemed to have a problem with it." "I bet." "Gentlemen, would you mind just giving us a moment, please?" "Thanks." "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I'm fine." "Said I could find you if I needed help." "I didn't think it would be this soon." "Are you disappointed to see me?" "That depends." "What do you need?" "You look hungry." "Should I be worried?" "Am I gonna go on a murder spree?" "No." "I'm okay." "But..." "I do need help tracking down who this belongs to." "How did you get this in here?" "My client needs to find somebody who took something." "He promised info on my parents if I helped him." "That means this client is Fae." "Well, there's a reason you're a detective, huh?" "Bo... this is not a good idea." "You should stay out of the Fae world." "Just live your life." "There's just one small problem." "I wind up killing everyone I let close to me." "Look, you are the only one of them that I can talk to." "You have to help me out." "No, I don't." "Fine." "I'll get help elsewhere." "But I gotta warn you, this could get messy." "I get taken in by human cops," "I have no problem telling them what I am or what any of you are." "The Morrigan was right." "You are dangerous." "Well, flattery will get you everywhere." "Buddy, can you run the registration on this for me?" "Something I gotta do." "Are you sure we wanna get involved with this?" "I'm not sure about anything." "But just do it, okay?" "And you, come with me." "Where are we going?" "You wanna play in this world, you gotta learn the rules." "If getting a Fae education is all about visiting a bar," "I should've been schooled already." "This isn't quite your normal bar." "These are all our people." "Your people maybe." "It's a place where we don't have to hide who we are." "Dyson." "I have someone you should meet." "Trick, this is Bo." "Bo, this is Trick." "He's an elder, the keeper of this way station." "Non-locals have to declare themselves here." "You people have more rules than my old high school." "The Dal is also a place where all Fae can find sanctuary from persecution." "It's neutral for Light and Dark Fae." "The looks people are giving me are hardly neutral." "The politics of undeclared are complicated." "I'm not very political." "That's not something you decide." "I just need somebody to be straight with me." "I'm like a baby here." "There's stuff I have to know." "Okay." "Come with me." "Nice decor." "Early Tolkien?" "Where do you think he got it?" "Okay." "Bo... mother's and father's names." "Sam and Mary Dennis." "Um..." "I mean your real parents." "You tell me." "Well, we know they're both Fae." "How do you know?" "Those born of only one don't have any Fae abilities, and you certainly do." "Well, guess you'll remain a mystery." "Sign in, then." "So how about helping me out?" "What do you know about us?" "That there are two types of Fae, Dark and Light, that neither likes the other very much." "And that all have some kind of freaky going on." "I suppose freaky is in the eye of the beholder." "And the issue between the Light and Dark Fae is a little more than just not liking each other." "We've been on the edge of war for more than a thousand years." "That's a grudge." "Ha." "A war between our people would end the human race as well as ours." "If you are so powerful, how do you stay under the radar?" "It's more comfortable for us to remain a myth." "But it's difficult, especially when someone keeps asking questions." "Meaning me." "Heh." "Look, for some reason, my real parents dumped me, and I need to know why." "Maybe they did it to protect you." "Leaving your kid to think they're a serial killer without knowing how or why?" "Hell of a way to protect them." "Ever thought what they were shielding you from might have been worse?" "That would be great." "My office called while you were in the back." "The gun is registered to a guy named Michael Connell." "He lives in the north end of the city in a trailer park." "What are you gonna do?" "Pay a visit." "See if he has my client's goods." "I hope you leave him in one piece." "If not, I'll be sure he goes with a smile on his face." "I'm kidding." "Bo, be careful who you trust." "A lot you don't know, people will use that against you." "Thanks." "# That's the type of life for me #" "# Too lazy kind of way to be #" "# Well, that was my way ##" "She's gonna get herself killed if she keeps going this way." "I have to find a way to manage her."

"# Got to, got to, got to Got to go away #" "# Whoo-hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo ##" "If this guy's sitting on a fortune in jewels," "I hope he's planning to upgrade." "Sure he'll appreciate the advice." "Crap." "That's one hell of a doorbell." "Tell me again why taking this case is better than stealing?" "Fairy Folk and You, Mysterious Folklore Creatures," "Encyclopaedia of Legends." "This is not light reading." "This is research." "Will was right." "Connell was hunting him." "Hm. "G. W. Thompson Co." "Ltd." "We buy and sell jewels wholesale and retail. "" "If I came into possession of a pant-load of gems, this is the guy I'd wanna go visit." "A guy we wanna visit too." "Hello, girls." "Going somewhere?" "Actually, we're kind of in a hurry." "Oh, you're kind of in a hurry." "Honey, you better have a damn good excuse for what you're doing in my neighbour's place." "We're friends of Connell's." "Friends?" "Yeah, we came to visit, and he must have forgot." "Imagine, pretty little thing like you robbing a man's house and home." "I'm sure we can work this out without getting the police involved." "Hey, hey." "No, no, you stay." "You stay." "Hey, I just wanna explain it to you." "No." "It'll all make sense." "I promise." "Bo." "Just a snack." "I've never had..." "Bo, that's enough." "Bo, stop." "You're killing her!" "Bo, stop it!" "Bo, stop." "It's me." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "Thanks for the cock block." "Yeah, maybe next time I'll do it from a distance." "Is she okay?" "Yeah." "Thanks to you." "Oh, my God." "You're totally healed." "Side benefit of a feed." "That's a hell of a health plan." "Trust me, you couldn't afford the premiums." "What are we doing?" "Are you gonna tell Will his guy's on the run?" "You tell him." "I'll drop you at home." "Keep him there." "Make sure he doesn't burn the place." "Where are you going?" "Jewellery shopping." "Can I help you?" "I have an anniversary coming up and my husband said the sky is the limit." "So why not make it jewellery?" "Of course." "And if it was gonna be jewels," "I thought of buying raw stones, choosing settings later." "Someone told me that you have a selection of unset stones." "I don't deal in unset stones." "If you don't see it, it's not available." "If you'll excuse me- Oh, hell." "I don't do undercover well, okay?" "So let's talk straight about this." "You bought uncut jewels from a guy named Michael Connell." "He took them from a guy I know and I need to find him." "I don't know any Connell." "Oh, this is not gonna go well." "Ow!" "What?" "Which hand do I break first?" "You've got two, and I don't have all night." "No." "Unh!" "Where is he?" "Simple." "You tell me, and I'm gone." "Lakeview Motel." "He met with me at the Lakeview Motel, Room 205." "I could only afford some of them." "I said I'd be back later this week for more." "You won't be making that appointment." "Oh, by the way, that emerald pendant is to die for." "Dude, could you stop that?" "I told you, I can't help it." "Maybe if you'd stop watching me." "It's kind of hard." "You take up a lot of real estate." "Oh..." "I didn't mean anything by that." "I'm large." "I know it." "What?" "I get lonely, I get depressed, I binge." "Aren't there people that could help?" "Like some kind of Fae Fat Watchers or something?" "I don't exactly show up for meetings." "Yeah, I guess not." "Yo." "It's me." "I've got an address." "I think Connell's at the Lakeview Motel." "Meet me there." "Should I bring our farty friend?" "Let's see if Connell's there first." "Okay, good." "I didn't really wanna singe the car upholstery anyway." "That Succubus is having herself some kind of party." "Anybody asking any questions?" "I've laid some dulcet tones down on anyone who took an interest." "Man, how many bodies are we gonna have to disappear for this chick?" "Maybe she didn't have a choice." "Maybe she's out of control." "What the hell is she doing here?" "I don't know, but I do wanna know why someone rigs a shotgun to their front door." "Jehovah's witnesses." "I'm just saying." "Look, if we get our hands on Little Miss Killer Kitty, maybe we'll find out both." "All right." "Get on it." "He's still there." "Sweet." "Let's break in and get yakuza on this guy's ass." "No, you stay here and watch the door." "I'll try to do this on the Q.T." "Bo, you're not gonna..." "You know." "Don't worry." "The woman from the trailer park will hold me over for a while." "Maid service." "Come on in." "I'll try to make this fast." "Take your time." "I'm not going anywhere." "I'm waiting for someone." "Oh, yeah?" "I'm surprised that someone's keeping such a handsome guy like you waiting." "You know what?" "I'm thinking it might be you that I'm waiting for." "Whoa." "Whatever kind of date you're expecting, you've got it all wrong." "Maid was here a half-hour ago." "I knew he'd send somebody." "Where is he?" "" He" who?" "The man from the woods." "My father." "Okay, this doesn't make any sense." "Will can't be your father." "Why?" "Because I'm not Fae?" "Because I'm not special?" "No." "I mean, yeah." "You're normal." "But you're not." "He wouldn't have trusted someone who wasn't one of them." "You're Fae." "I guess so." "Took me years to learn about this stuff." "See, only my father was Fae, so I didn't inherit anything." "Never got to know him." "Hold on." "You gotta back up a few steps." "I'm missing something." "You like fairy-tale romances?" "Here's one my mother told me a thousand times when I was a kid." "My mom worked at a research station in those woods." "One night she's looking out the window and she sees some green lights." "She tries to follow them." "Before she knows it, she gets lost." "Next thing she knows, there's some guy standing there." "Don't tell me." "Odd guy in serious need of a wardrobe makeover?" "He seemed nice." "He brought her food and wine." "He told her he could get her out of the woods." "Itwas a romantic night, full moon and everything." "I know where this is going." "When she left, she was pregnant with me." "If you have some kind of daddy issues, you can take it up with him." "You think I haven't tried?" "My mom wasted years of her life trying to find him to tell him, but all he did was distract her with fires." "In the end, she made herself sick, stumbling around in the dark." "She died with everyone still thinking that she was crazy." "You figure you're entitled to his treasure." "I don't care about the treasure." "I just want to see him." "I want him to know me." "Robbing him is a hell of an introduction." "Look, you know him, right?" "He hired you to get his stuff back?" "I have the jewels in a locker at Fortress Self-Storage on 15th." "You get him to meet me, he can have it all back." "Oh, crap balls." "You sit tight, and I'll call you when I speak to him." "Okay?" "Friend?" "Followed you." "Get out of here." "I can handle this." "Bo, cleaning product, 10 o'clock." "He's got eyes in back of his head." "Minus the head." "This is a new level of freaky." "You sure this job is worth it?" "I'm starting to wonder." "Uh-huh." "What's that smell?" "What's that smell?" "Hey." "This isn't a place to bring a human." "Where I go, she goes." "You claiming her?" "Yes." "The girl is with her." "Understand, she's your responsibility from this point on." "Try not to steal anything, okay?" "I'm checking in, like you asked." "We've got a small problem." "We?" "I've got a body in the trunk of my car." "And in a bag in the backseat." "The girl from the trailer park wasn't enough?" "You noticed, huh?" "Well, I know I didn't call you about that, but this is different." "I found the guy that stole my guy's jewels." "There was another guy trying to take the guy out." "Okay, you lost me at the second guy." "You can't keep doing this, okay?" "I promise you, this is not how I plan my day." "Just show it to me." "First problem, no head." "He started that way." "Yeah, second problem, it's a Dullahan." "Okay." "Obvious question, what the hell is a Dullahan?" "You could say they're the mercenaries of the Fae world." "They evolved the ability to remove their heads." "Like the headless horseman." "They use it to throw fear into victims." "As a victim, I can vouch it works." "They're usually unstoppable, Bo." "I guess someone forgot to tell this guy." "Or maybe he wasn't listening." "You get it?" "No head." "Okay." "I need to talk to you." "You have been lucky, but you are in a world you know nothing about." "I'm learning damn fast." "Are you okay?" "I need to look up the Light Fae's doctor, Lauren." "Said she could help take the edge off my lethal libido." "That's asking a lot." "Not so much." "There are other ways to deal with that problem." "No offence, but I don't wanna owe your team." "I'm looking for a more long-term solution." "So can you get me her number?" "Don't tell anybody you got this from me." "Look what I found in Mr. No-Head's pockets." "Will isn't the only one after the jewels." "Or this was payment for taking out Connell." "Hm." "Looks like Will's got some explaining to do." "Let's make sure he does before bodies start piling up." "Will." "Huh?" "Oh, hey." "Hi." "I was wondering where you guys were." "Yeah, move." "Oh." "Now that's handy." "You just, like, pull a trigger and, pfft, it's out?" "I really have to get one of those." "No." "What you have to start doing is telling the truth." "You sent a headless nightmare after Connell." "You mean like a Dullahan?" "Oh, no way." "I hate those things." "They're creepy." "Beautiful." "The pot calling the kettle creepy." "You got away, right?" "I mean, you're here." "So, what happened?" "You catch this Connell?" "Barely helped him escape in one piece." "Um, maybe we had a miscommunication." "I spend a lot of time on my own, talk to myself a fair bit." "Maybe I didn't make myself clear, but I did say to catch him, didn't I?" "Connell is your son." "My what?" "Your son." "That's enough." "Uh..." "I mean, that couldn't be." "Me a daddy?" "About 30 years ago, there was a woman lost in the woods." "You gave her food and wine..." "And then, you know:" "A woman?" "Oh..." "Um..." "Ella." "No." "Ellie." "Yeah, that's right." "Oh." "She was beautiful, even for a human." "We, uh..." "Oh, shit." "I'm a daddy." "What does he do?" "Does he look like me?" "Oh, he's gotta be tall, right?" "Oh, this is terrific." "Ha, ha." "What am I talking about?" "This is horrible." "He's human." "He can't know about me." "That cat's way out of the bag." "That's the reason he took your jewels." "He just wants to meet you." "Oh." "Well, I wanna meet him too." "I could bring him something." "What do you think?" "Teddy bear?" "Fire truck?" "Just come with us to see him." "That's all he wants." "I have a stop, then I'll work it out with Connell." "Just wait here until I call you?" "Mm-hm." "Hey, it's not every day you become a father, right?" "How long have you been standing there?" "Not long." "I like watching a professional at work." "Oh." "Well, it's just boring research." "Some of that boring research might stop me from killing someone." "You said that you might be able to do something about my hunger." "That offer still stand?" "You don't understand." "Itcould be dangerous to even talk to you." "The last thing I want is trouble, but I need this." "Should I be worried right now?" "I have desires, not enough to kill someone." "Who else has to say this kind of stuff, huh?" "If you don't do it for me, then do it for the next person that I feed on." "There is something I developed for an incubus I treated." "Itshould take the edge off your hunger, but it won't allow you to heal." "Let's see if we can ramp you back to randy." "Frisky, even." "Take your jacket off." "If you learn to control your abilities, you might actually like being Fae." "Maybe." "You should think about joining the Light Fae." "I wouldn't have to hide helping you." "They'd have to loosen up a bit first, start playing by my rules." "Seriously, thank you." "Mm-hm." "Connell." "Connell, you here?" "I didn't know if you'd come." "You talk to my dad?" "Yeah." "He wants to see you as much as you want to see him." "I can't believe it." "After all this time, I'm actually gonna see him." "Do it." "Call him." "Kenzi, he's here." "Yeah, he's ready to meet." "Okay, 20 minutes at the Fortress Self-Storage." "Still have the gems?" "What is this?" "I'm sorry." "I'm not gonna be happy with just a reunion." "The world's gotta know." "My mother wasn't crazy." "No, you don't wanna do this." "The Fae won't let you." "They won't have a choice." "If they kill me once I've outed them, this thing will go even bigger." "This is everything I've wanted." "Throw me your phone." "You're fast, but not that fast." "Come on." "Connell!" "Connell, let me out of here." "It's no use." "You don't understand what it's like being abandoned by your father, not knowing who he is." "Knowing he doesn't give a damn." "I do know." "My Fae parents abandoned me." "They dumped me and I didn't even know that they existed." "Not until the Fae started happening." "At least you got something out of it." "You're special." "You're like them." "Talk to him first." "See what he says." "We've played it his way for the last 20 years." "Now we're gonna play it my way." "Bo?" "Kenzi!" "Get out of here." "It's a trap." "Hold it." "Hold it!" "I know your tricks." "Not going anywhere." "I thought this was a reunion." "What, you think you can just walk back into my life like nothing's happened?" "The world's gonna know what you did to my mother." "You can't do that." "He's got the gun." "He can do what he wants." "Your mother didn't understand." "One of us can't be with one of you forever." "You didn't even give us a chance." "All I wanted to do was see you." "I wanted to know you." "What I did, I did for her own good." "Before you knew it, she'd want to know her own kind." "And she'd want to tell them who she was with." "She would tell them about me." "I couldn't risk that." "Didn't you even think about her?" "I did." "But time moves differently for my kind." "Things are gonna move pretty fast from here on." "You're stubborn." "Heh." "You got a lot of your old man's traits." "You did this." "I didn't know you were my son." "Kenzi, in here!" "Call it off!" " I can't." "Once they take a job, they always follow through." "Hey, flattop." "We can both keep a calm head on our shoulders here, okay?" "Bad analogy." "I mean, nobody has to lose a head, okay?" "So, what now?" "I owe you a story." "Better make it fast, Willy." "That woman I saw with the baby that night?" "She was a Fae midwife." "She was scared." "But why wasn't I with my real parents?" "Were they dead?" "I don't know." "This midwife wasn't what you call chatty." "But what she did say was she was afraid." "Someone was trying to hurt you." "Who?" " That's all she said." "Hey." "You know more now than you did before, right?" "I don't know what the story was with your parents, Bo, but maybe they do wanna see you." "Find them." "Give them a chance." "God, I hate when he does that." "They're gone." "And he took the swag with him." "Bo?" "Bo, you need a doctor?" "No." "Get me Dyson." "Bo, have you thought this through?" "No, but it's the only way I heal."
