Hey guys, so a friend gave me the idea to put an intro in as a sneak peak before the backstory… hope you don't mind and enjoy.

It had been just another day… not important, not even a blip on Dyson's radar, but still it was a day that changed everything.

Dyson was chasing a low level drug dealer when it happened, a scent… an impossible scent. Stopping in his tracks the shifter looked around, but found nothing, like dust in the wind the scent had vanished, so with a shake of his head, clearing the creeping cobwebs before once again capturing a criminal.

Still it stayed with him, the memory of that scent, unforgettably unusual, sickly sweet…cotton candy and battery acid. He supposed it was just one of those days, one where his ghosts follow him around and remind him of his failings…

The sun had set and with it the business day done, so with a chilled beer in hand Dyson sat at the Dal watching as Trick frantically searched his books, Hale on his phone anxious and almost screaming at his contact, Bo had taken off to beat answers out of the latest lead while Lauran was combing the Light Fae for any clues and Vex the Dark.

A hand fell over the shifters tired face, reading through the pile of suspects, names of people Kenzi and Bo had crossed and honestly he was running out of people to threaten.

Kenzi had been missing for six days, fourteen hours and eighteen minutes… the clubhouse trashed and a note that read plainly 'you take from us, we take from you'

Bo had barely slept since that night, none of them had really, because yes Kenzi was annoying and fragile, but she was so much more than that, she was smart, funny and unquestionably loyal, she wasn't just Bo's human, she was their Kenzi.

So when Trick races around the bar all eyes turn to find the missing girl, she was dirty and Dyson could smell blood, but as the three men flew towards her Kenzi smiled brightly "what's a girl got to do to get a drink around here?"

The two other men laugh with sheer glee that she's ok, as ok as someone who's been missing for nearly a week could be, but Dyson stood dead, not even sure his heart is beating or if breathing is appropriate because Kenzi isn't stood hand in hand with other girl, broken and bloody and it breaks Dyson's heart at the image, it isn't possible…

But those red speckled diamond blue orbs look up at him with sheer confusion and everyone's looking at him, only then does he realize he's zipped across the short space and crushed the small girl to his chest "you're here… this, this isn't real…I don't understand, but it's you, it's really you!"

If she was human he'd have done some serious damage with the strength of his embrace, but gently a doll like hand pushes at Dyson's chest, looking him straight in the eye and asking "Do I know you?"
