"Stay back!" "What's going on?" "What just happened?" "Some people don't deal well with rejection." "Oh, my God!" "Total 911!" "Goblins have stormed our kitchen and they are eating all our sugar pops." "Tell them the milk has gone bad." "Was someone kept up late by a doggy-style celebration of love?" "A little...all night long?" "I want all the hairy details, okay?" "Okay, no." "No details, hairy or otherwise." "I feel like crap." "Didn't you see Dyson last night?" " Yes." " Okay, well did you tell him you wanted him to be your boyfriend?" "Did he say that he loved you?" "He had another woman there." "Oh, tits." "According to Dyson, we are only going to have sex when I need to heal." "But there was something there." "I saw it, man." " God, he totally led you on." " It is not a big deal, okay?" "Let me go back to sleep." "I have the flu." " Bo." " Kenzi." "Kenzi." "Bo, that disgusting feeling churning in your guts, that's not the flu." "That's rejection, honey." "Oh, my God." "You have never been rejected before, have you?" "I don't know." " Maybe." " Okay." "Okay." "I am familiar with you wanting a guy and him not wanting you back." "And heartbreak sucks, but there are ways to deal and I will show you how." "Or is our little Succubus gonna stay in bed forever?" "No." "Okay." "Telling Dyson how I feel, that was your idea." "This is your fault." "That is why I am gonna be there for you every step of the way." " Including ice cream for breakfast." " Oh, joy." "Look, dealing with rejection, it can be fun." "I promise you." "Pinkie swear." "Okay." "Enough." "Shit!" "Fun, huh?" "What's the worst that could happen?" "Life is hard when you don't know who you are." "It's harder when you don't know what you are." "My love carries a death sentence." "I was lost for years, searching while hiding only to find that I belong to a world hidden from humans." "I won't hide any more." "I will live the life I choose." "This is not the day to piss me off, kid." "I told you, man." "I wasn't even there." "Because I was banging your old lady." " Yo, Dy." "Dyson." " He broke my arm." " Just breathe." "It's not broken." " Breathe, breathe, breathe." "It's just dislocated." "What's gotten under your collar?" " See?" "All better now." " You got fleas?" "You okay?" "Ready and begin." "Yes!" "Bust it!" "Bust that shit up!" "Bust it like it's Dyson's douchey-ass face!" "Yes!" "That face is never kissing again." " What else?" " We wallow." "Kenzi break-up mix on repeat all frigging afternoon." " You have a break-up mix?" " Dude, you have so much to learn." "Yes." "And then it's girls on the town." "We're gonna burn this city to the ground, baby!" "I don't do that." "I'm not much of a party queen." "Drinking equals losing control equals someone gets dead." "Yeah, but what a way to go, dude." "Okay, fine." "We'll cut loose somewhere safe." "You know, this is what I don't get, okay?" "I did nothing wrong, and I'm the one whose day has gone to shit." "For Dyson, it's like, "Bo who?" Totally unaffected." "Let's go." "Let's go." "We're gonna party." "We're gonna forget about it." "All right?" "We'll see about that." "Okay, this is me in the bar." " And this is me going back to bed." " Oh, no." "We are not wasting hours of dress-up." "I don't care if I have to slather you with fairy dust." " I don't think that's an actual thing." " I don't care." " Special occasion?" " Yeah, it's girls' night out." "In a pub?" "This pub?" "Safer if Bo's with her own kind so start us a tab, Trickster." " One drink." " Maybe two." " Okay." "That's right, champ." "Look at that." "Not only is he dodging charges, he's gonna sue our ass." " Never gonna happen." "Just talk." " Yeah?" "You can deduce that?" "Interesting, you haven't been deducing shit this past while." " Is there a problem, ma'am?" " You." "You are a problem." " This is your third complaint." " Nothing new." "It's just suspects stirring up shit." " No, you're losing control and it's getting in the way." " I'll try harder." "Better than that." "You'll report to the shrink and get shrunk, or I am chaining you to this desk." "Well done." "Now you gonna tell me what the hell's going on?" "Come on, this is lame you leaving me out." "Man, I got the cops, and I got the Fae." "It's two full-time jobs." "Now I got Bo." "She's a handful on her own." "Bo." "Oh, man." "Bo." "Oh, man." "You hit that?" " Yes, you did." " I need a drink." "Fine, but you're my wingman." "I'm tired of being with the ugly chick." "Oh, my God." "That is good." "That is good." " It makes my throat tingle." " I don't think I have a throat left." "That is some good shit, Mr. T." "Oh, you." "You are the Kenziest Kenzi ever." "And Dyson...?" " Dyson is a scratchy-faced..." " Yes." "..." "Grouchy, cooch-tease." " Yes." "And I should've bit it off when I had the chance." "Oh, unneeded visual, baby." "But yes, let it all out." "Let it out." "What else?" "What else?" " Lauren." " Oh, my God." "Don't get me started on that girl." "How could you be so cold and frigid?" " She's like a freaking speculum." " She's here." "Hi, Kenzi." "Hey." "You know, as your doctor I should recommend against excessive intoxication." "Who's drunk?" "Well, we don't know the effects of cocktails on your abilities." "Well, I am not a guy, so I can promise you booze does not affect my ability to perform." "I wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end of a drunken Succubus booty call, so take it easy." " No promises." "Keep an eye on her." "Okay, I don't know if it's from the buckthorn hallucinations but that was some serious sparkage." " I think she likes you." " No, it doesn't matter." "It doesn't matter, because Lauren is human." "I sleep with her, and she dies." "This guy" " This guy on the other hand, he has sexual chi to burn." "He's right behind you." "A woman as lovely as yourself shouldn't be alone." "Well, I'm not." "There's two of you." "I'm Samir." " Bo." " I know." "Everybody knows." "The one who won't choose a side, neither light nor dark." "Exciting." "Yeah, tell me about it." "That's my wife Olivia." "Awesome, bone structure." " She's lovely." " Glad you think so." "We were hoping you'd join us for a drink back at our place." "And your wife, is she okay with that?" "My wife is an Erinys, a Fury." "I wouldn't flirt if she didn't give me say so." "In fact, you're her choice, and I wholeheartedly agree." "Yeah." "Yeah." "I don't know." "Girl, are you a Succubus or a succu-bust?" "A rebound screw is the greatest way to get over a guy." "It's just science." " I told you." "I never cared that much about Dyson anyway." "My place." "Let's go." "It's coming ..." "We're gonna need a safe word." "Gold star for Kenzi." "Rebound sex was exactly what I needed." "Why do you look like you're not at all sharing this monster hangover?" "What can I say?" "For me, sexual healing is a literal thing." "I hate you." "And there's no strings attached." " That was the best idea you ever had." " You're very welcome." "And you're back." "I will go get my earplugs." " Where's your owner?" " Hi, Olivia." " Hi." " I don't have an owner." " Olivia." " Good to see you." "I hope you're not back for an encore because last night was a one-time thing." "No, you left me quite depleted." "I could barely walk." " So, what's up?" " I have a problem." "I hear you have special skills for hire." "They are." "Let's talk rates." "Whatever you have to say, you can say in front of Kenzi." "So, what's the job?" "I want you to kill someone." "And that's gonna cost extra." "When you mate for life, and your life is centuries you make it work." "So you invite other Fae into bed whenever you get bored." "Keeps things exciting." "But we've had a rule, no snacking behind each other's backs." " Naturally." " What happened?" "Samir and I own an event-planning business." "The girl's a florist we used on one occasion." "Her name's Jenny." "So Samir couldn't keep his hands off the help?" "That's typical." " I didn't know he was shucking around." " Shucking?" "Sex with a human. it's beneath us." " I feel dirty by association." " No of fence taken." "You know, if it had been one slip ..." "But it's turned into a full-blown affair." "He has feelings for her." "Found these in his desk." "They're from her." "They've been writing to each other for months." " On paper?" " It has to stop." "I'd kill the girl myself, but we Light Fae really are supposed to frown on harming humans." "How generous of you, Olivia." "But you're unaffiliated." "It would be so nice and uncomplicated for you to get rid of her." "What are your rates for exterminating?" "It wasn't a coincidence that I ended up in bed with you, was it?" "I chose you because of the job." "My taste of you has convinced me you're strong enough." "Well, problem, Liv, is that I'm not an assassin." "One touch, and she's six feet under." "And you're for hire." "What's the issue?" "Oh, you know, how killing someone is wrong." "You're not hearing me." "I'm not gonna snuff out a life because it clashes with your drapes." "Fine." "Screw the complications, I will take care of this myself." "We should probably find this Jenny." "And save her from a jealous Fury." "Yeah." " So where do we find her?" " Oh, return address." "Exactly why did you take this?" "Habit." "Just habit." "You stuck your hand in the wrong cookie jar, little girl." "The price of being with my husband will be insanity and death." "I hope it was worth it." "Bad Fae." "Stupid girl." "Someone should have told you never to cross a Fury." "Get out of my head." "This is nothing." "I'm gonna sear your mind beyond repair." "Let's turn up the heat." " Let's go." " My bag." "Call the grease monkeys, man." "I can smell brain oil burning down the hall." "Tong says break some cases, I'll break some cases." "Yeah." "You know the surefire way to convince a therapist that you need help?" "No?" "Show up to your first appointment late." "Therapy is bullshit." "Human bullshit." "If you don't play ball, you're gonna end up one castrated cop which means you're useless to our side." "Go to your session." "How's the head?" "Achy." "I don't really remember what happened." "Can you just put that down?" " And where did you get that, anyway?" " Pawnshop, and it's awesome." " Who are you again?" " I'm Bo." "L.m a." " Private investigator." " Right." "You've gotten mixed up with dangerous people." " Like the mob?" " Sort of." "Jenny, Olivia put a hit on you." "That's why Samir's been so distant." "He was protecting me." "Maybe he was leading you on." "Getting a piece of tail on the side while mouthing promises about leaving his wife." "Then he gets bored and just bails without even a goodbye." "Or whatever." "I'm sure he cared about you, Jenny." "I can tell him to handle Olivia before somebody gets killed." "Now get some rest, okay?" "Tell her what she's dealing with." "It's not fair." "No." "I start talking about that stuff, Fae get mad at me and things start sucking." "This is our life now, Kenzi." "We have to protect it." "This is how you want to play this game?" "What a maverick." "Guess what." "I got 10 cops a week who pull this stunt in here." "The tougher you guys act, the more I can see through you." "Dyson, it's okay to ask for help." "Stab in the dark here." "You reek like too many frozen dinners." "You drank an entire bottle of cheap Merlot by yourself last night because you live alone and you're hooked on Xanax." "So you tell me, who needs therapy here, huh?" "I'm just gonna top up my coffee before we get started." "You do that, doc." "You've always been strong but you feel your world is spinning out beyond your control and instead of dealing with suddenly feeling vulnerable you're compensating by swinging your big, manly nightstick." "Stab in the dark." "Samir?" "Succubus whore!" "Samir?" "Kenzi?" "Arm up." "People are really starting to lose their heads." "Easy, killer. it's just me." "Bo, what happened?" " What's wrong?" "What did Samir say?" " Not very much." "Nothing, actually." "I'm sorry, Jenny." "When I got there, Samir was dead." "Olivia, she's kind of insane." "She got there first." "I was too late." "No." "No." "No." " No." "No." " I don't deal well with hysterical." "Bo, what are you doing?" "I'm taking the edge off, I think." "I know it hurts, Jenny." "You'll get through this." "Just give it time." " Maybe you should go lie down, okay?" " Okay." "Come on." "How was your thing with the counselor?" "Useless." "Jesus." "So what are we thinking here, human kill or Fae on Fae?" "Don't know yet." "I kept it out of the human system to be safe, but the wife's missing." "Hale, where's the head?" " Not here." " What do you think did this?" "Something went through those bones without too much fuss." " And interrupted the poor man's dinner." " Yeah." "Hey, you think it was a misadventure with the electric carving knife?" "Yeah, I'll just call the cleaners." "Any witnesses?" "All we have is the text that you got from Samir's own cell phone." "Anonymous." "Not that anonymous." "So Olivia ran out of the house, crazy as a loon and I found Samir, no head." "Oh, and Jenny's upstairs sleeping." "Did Olivia have the weapon?" " I didn't notice." " Did she have the head?" " I don't know." "Was it not there?" " No." "Well, I don't have it." " Is there anything else?" " Yeah." "Why did you bring them back here in the first place?" "I was hungry." "My last meal left me just a little unsatisfied and they were yummy." "You might think about curbing that appetite." "Hey, hairy palms, what's it to you?" "You jealous much?" "I have to find Olivia before she hurts someone else." "In the meantime, keep the door locked and your eyes open." " Where are you gonna look for her?" " Furies always have sisters." "Big, strong Dyson." "Is it true you're a cop now?" "How tame." "I know Olivia's sick." "Tell me where she is so I can help her." "Someone tried to kill our sister." "No one we don't trust gets near her." "Ladies, we're here under the auspices of The Ash, okay?" "Wanna mess with that?" " Well, we can't get her out." " That's why you bring a Siren." "I promise." "We'll do what we can for her." "It cuts the stems and pulls off all the pretty petals." "Someone's breaking in!" "Not asleep." "Not me." "I'm fine." " I gotta go check on our house guest." " Yeah." "I wanted to see what it looked like on." "It must be so cool being you, all kick-ass and everything." "I bet you always get what you want." "You'd be surprised." " So you're feeling better, then?" " Oh, much." "I just feel so safe here." "Feels so right." "Jenny I know what it's like to be led on and I would hate to do that to you, so ..." "I'm saying this not to be cruel, but to be clear." "You staying here, it's just temporary." "Yeah." "Of course." "I'll be out of your hair as soon as it's safe." "Just say the word." " Dyson." " I have Olivia." "We're at the clinic." " So we can relax, then?" " Or you can get your ass down here." "The Ash wants you to explain this." " Well, what if I say my calendar's full?" " Don't." " What's up?" " I've been summoned." "You are not leaving me with Weepy McWeepster." "Oh, yeah, about that." "I need for you to do something for me." "I'm not giving her a sponge bath, I swear to God." "I put too much oomph in my zing, and she's crushing on me big time." "I need for you to talk her out of it gently." " Girl's been through enough." " Fantastic." "Hey, look on the bright side." "Dyson found Olivia, and everything will be just fine." "Shit-encrusted maggots." "Burning, scorching rain." "Flaying skin of rotting sinners." " Yeah, we're working on that." " Don't touch me!" " How is she?" " I'm easing her pain but her brain is in a death spiral." "The prodigal Succubus." "What's your part in this?" "She asked me to execute a human and I refused." "We fought, and her attack, I guess it backfired." "And then someone killed Samir." "I went over to talk to him and he was already dead." "All I saw was Olivia like this." "She ran as soon as she saw me." "Her insanity does explain the messy kill." "I didn't kill my husband." "I ate his brains with a tarragon sauce, but he did not die!" "That cheating sack of shit taunts me from the other world!" "Attacking a human out of jealousy, murdering your mate?" "Supposed to punish those who break our rules not break them yourself." "And you, siding with a human over a Fae." "You could not take a more foolish position." "The day is still early." "I'll break the news to Olivia's sisters." "We'll be keeping you under close scrutiny." "And you, Dyson, let's hope your performance improves." "I'm so sorry." "I totally forgot to order it without peppers." "Yeah." "Even though I told you seconds before that I hated green peppers." " My head still must be a little fuzzy." " Must be." "So what kind of food does Bo like?" " Nothing special." "She seems like someone who'd like a good steak." " Maybe." " What's Bo's favourite restaurant?" "We don't really eat out much." "...We..?" " Yeah." ""We" this, "we" that." "You're pretty much right in there with Bo, huh?" "Right by her side, day in, day out." "Yeah." "You know, we're kind of a team." "Is that healthy?" "I mean, don't you want to branch out on your own one day so that both of you can flourish?" " Yeah." "You know, you're totally right." "I'm actually planning on going back to school and getting my law degree." "Oh, law." " That's so great." " Yeah. it's so great." " Gotta pee." " Okay." "Oh, jeez." "On, shit." "Oh, my God." "On, God." "Mine." "Kenzi?" "Jenny?" " Yes?" " Hey." "You gotta hear this." "I was checking out Samir in our system." " What, he has a rap sheet?" " No, but Jenny does." " Jenny?" " She was picked up a few weeks ago in the garage of Samir's office." " No kidding." " I checked with the arresting officers." "Samir told them that Jenny had become obsessed." "He slept with her, but she became delusional." "Thought that they were having some sort of a love affair." "What, so the entire relationship was in her head?" "That's nuts." "She's been stalking him for months." "Begged us to keep quiet, didn't want his wife to find out." " Which means what?" " Look, our fox screen shows the wine Samir was drinking was laced with tranquilizers." "Olivia did not have the presence of mind to drug him, Bo." "She's not our killer." "I think we have bigger problems." "Yeah?" "Bo?" "I found the head." "There's a note." ""Beloved, I've taken steps to remove the obstacle between us." "Join me at the farm." "We'll start our life together."" " Did you sleep with her too?" " I touched her." "That's all." " You can't use your powers" " Save the lecture, okay?" " She's taken Kenzi." " Goddamn it." "Did you think you could get between me and Bo?" "It wasn't on my radar one way or the other." "What are you gonna do?" "Don't worry." "You're just the bait." "It'll be over quick once Bo gets here." "Actually, I prefer slow and drawn out." "There's no reason to rush anything, you know?" "I knew you'd come." "How could I resist such a romantic gesture?" " You're not mad?" " No." "At you?" "Jenny, no." "You're my destiny." "I love you." "Nobody ever loves me as much as I love them." "Everyone whoever said they loved me they all left." "But I always keep a piece of them close." "Samir was no different." "A coward in the end, too scared to love me back." " You killed him." " I went to his home to tell him that I totally accepted it was over." "He was so relieved." "Then I drugged him and cut off his head." "How's that for over?" "You let me find the body, Jenny." " You pretended to be upset." " I'm sorry I lied, Bo." "But that was before I understood this thing we have between us." "But everything's different now." "I'll never be separated from the one I love." "What did you do, Jenny?" "You can learn a lot from the Internet like how to turn ordinary fertilizer and paint into explosives." "When I push this button we'll be together forever." " Okay." "Okay, but if we're gonna go out with a bang I want it to be in your arms." "Oh, I'd like that." " Okay." " Slowly." "How convenient." "They're together." "One-stop shopping." "Liar." "You're just like everyone else." "I didn't bring them." "Just calm down." " Who are you?" " Our sister's dead because of you." "And you took part, so you both pay." "Don't." "Don't." "She's got a bomb." "No." "This isn't supposed to go like this." "Everybody, calm down." "We're gonna talk." "No." "No more talking." "No more lies." "No more lies ever again." "Nice, but you still have your training wheels on." "Ada!" "Ada, come here." "At least I can still see the road." "Come on." " Detonator." " No." "There's no time." "Bo!" "Don't leave me." "Come back here, you bitch." " I'm here, baby." " Okay." "Okay." "Bo." "Stay back!" "What's going on?" "What the hell just happened?" "I guess some people don't deal well with rejection." "Thought I'd be extra crispy for sure." "As if I could get rid of you that easily." "Hey, Bo." "I'm not like Jenny, am I?" "I'm not too clingy or anything?" "You make me want to be a better Fae." "Go seduce a yak." "My God." "Mass destruction and two dead Furies." "That's quite the Friday." "Trick, a pint, please." "The Ash, he's pissed, huh?" "I told him you got there after and that we both arrived too late, so you're off the hook." "So you covered for me?" "This Jenny thing's a serial killer case." "It's scored me some big points in the cop world for breaking it." "Let's just say it's returning the favour." "Cheers." "Yep." " Still a douche." " Well, at least he's not a thief." "I seem to be missing a 300-year-old bottle of buckthorn mead." "You Fae and your funny words." "Look at the time." "I should be going." "Stay and let me tell you how that bottle came into my possession and why it meant so much to me." "So I was thinking." " I'm gonna stop you right there." " No. it's good." "Listen as recent events have suggested mixing emotions and sex can get kind of messy." " That is what I was trying to avoid." " Yeah, well, I get that now." "My offer does still stand, though." "I'm here whenever you need me." "How about for more than just healing?" " How about for fun?" " For fun?" "Yeah." "There's this "friends with benefits" thing that I have heard so much about." " You don't say." "Yeah, and you're actually kind of perfect." "You don't care." "You don't die." "And I trust you." "Friends with benefits." "But definitely just friends." "Deal." "So you wanna get friendly at your place or mine?" "So there's this woman."
