Wide Awake

The Battle Starts

VENUS AFTER DARK

Shay was on stage for 20 minutes and the seethe sat there the whole time. Lauren even ordered a drink and a shot. The blonde already finished both. She knew she should have turned around running out of there but she had to know what Shay knew. This was the first possible lead the seethe could have. Both the light and dark got no answers and she knew time had to be closing in on her. Thanks to her last few days with Bo she was already at 76%. It wasn't full power but it was pretty close. And looking wasn't wrong, right? She wasn't completely sure of that answer but for now it sounded logical. Shay walked off the stage and disappeared behind the door that clearly stated employees only. The seethe looked around her. She didn't mind having to wait for her.

Between the other fae on the stage and the cocktail waitresses Lauren never heard Shay approach her. She felt the hand on her leg and whirled her head around to stare into those deep blue eyes. Shay sat on the seethe's lap so she could talk into her ear since the music was blaring. "I have to do a lap dance. I'm still working right now. You can stay till my shift is over or pay for the next lap dance and I can talk to you then." With that the succubus was off her lap grabbing the hand of a dark brown haired fae leading her into a room that said private above it. Super huge gigantic trouble, no scratch that universal, explosive trouble. The blonde tilted back in her seat while she debated if she should stay longer and wait for Shay to be off of work or pay for the lap dance. Either decision was going to get her into a shit load of trouble. Wrapping her head around that realization she ordered another shot and drink.

LAUREN'S PENTHOUSE

"Twenty minutes. She called me twenty minutes ago. How slow does Shay talk?" Bo was yelling to her friends as she paced back and forth. Shay was the one succubus that really worried Bo. When she first saw Lauren again and she was with Shay they looked good together. They looked happy and worse Shay never did anything wrong to Lauren while Bo had her whole fucked up past with her. She knew she could trust Lauren. She always trusted her lover, but she didn't trust the slutty succubus. Her blood was boiling. The blonde called her and said she had to go to Shay's work that she had information that could be helpful. That was twenty minutes ago.

She scrolled through her phone calling Lauren for the fifth time. Again she got her voicemail. "I sent four texts and called five times." She turned to her friends for some kind of comforting words.

"Bo, I love you, but you are making me want to hurl. You haven't stopped moving for ten minutes." Kenzi strutted over to her grabbing her friend to stop the pacing. "D-Man can track her number." Dyson shrugged his shoulders, "I can get it in less than five minutes. Make a call they put the number in and we get the location."

"Then do it," Bo looked at the shifter like it was the obvious thing to do. The call came back relatively fast. Hale pointed out the address was dark fae territory and all of them were light fae expect for Bo. She picked up the keys to Lauren's Audi R8. "I'm taking this baby." She flashed a grin as she tossed the keys in the air and caught them heading to the elevator.

Kenzi turned to Hale, "I hate that I had to pick a side I want to ride in the hotmobile." Hale pulled Kenzi onto his lap, "I know you do mama, next time."

VENUS AFTER DARK

The blonde was still sitting in the seat she originally fell in. Shay finished her lap dance and since Lauren didn't make a decision yet the dark haired succubus had to do another lap dance. She threw back her third shot as she made her decision. Waiting for Shay to come back out she held up a fifty. The succubus glided towards her. She bent over the seethe, "You can follow me to the private room and put that money anywhere you want." She grabbed Lauren's hand pulling her to her feet as the seethe followed her to the private room. It was official Bo was going to kill her when she had to tell her this. If she didn't have her bike she would have had another five shots.
