Littlest Wolf (Teen Wolf)

I.E.D (C)

Author's POV
Scott and Stiles show Sheriff a printout of the dead pool. Apparently this is only part of it and the rest still has to be decoded, which explains why some of the key supernaturals aren't on this list. They tell Sheriff that Lydia transcribed the code without realising it as part of her banshee abilities and the code was broken with the key word Allison.

No one is happy about that being the key but it did reveal a third of the dead pool. They need two more cipher keys to reveal the rest of the list. Lydia has been at the lake house with Kira, Malia and Hope all weekend, listening to the record player over and over again, trying to find the other two cipher keys. She looks absolutely wrecked and eventually the 3 girls have to physically pull her away from the record player.

Stiles tapes the cracked third of the dead pool to his murder board and crosses off the rest of the names. All that remains now is Lydia, Scott, Derek, Hope, Keeilin Betcher and Elias Town. There's no way to know if they're werewolves or other supernatural creatures drawn here by the renewed power of the Nemeton.

Sheriff wants to know if 'here' means Beacon Hills or Beacon County. The population of Beacon Hills is just under 30,000 but the combined population of Beacon County is closer to 500,000 people. He's worried that the next cipher key will unlock not just 12 names but 100.

Scott and Stiles tell him that there's a limit to the number of names. Since we know that the Benefactor is transferring money to people it's a safe bet that the combined total of the numbers will add up to the $117 million that was stolen from the Hale vault. Stiles grabs the dead pool and starts scribbling next to the names, revealing which ones seem to be thousands of dollars and which ones seem to be millions.

"And your friend Hope worth 35 million?" His dad asks the boys.

"No Hope's last name is Marshall. This Hope on the paper is Mikaelson." Stiles replies but Scott adds, "Although it might be her."

The point is that there are assassins out there using axes (Mouthdemort), thermo-cut bolo necklaces (Violet), and big knives that leave behind weird hexagonal marks (Garrett).

Since Demarco was known for delivering kegs to teenagers for a little extra cash, it seems likely that the killer called him to the lake house party—which means the killer is a schoolchild. Scott and Stiles are way more perceptive this season.

At school, Violet has werewolf scratches on her neck that she can't be bothered hiding with a blouse and she wants to know when they're going for the 'big money'. Garrett tells her they're going for it tonight.

Economics class is the perfect public place for Stiles to look through graphic crime scene photos. Coach, who's wielding a shabby lacrosse stick as an example of economic disparity, sees the photos.

"Stilinski, if I could grade you on how profoundly you disturb me, you'd be an A-plus student."

Coach starts to walk away and Stiles seizes the lacrosse stick, comparing the bottom of it to the markings on Carrie Hudson's stab wounds.

As Coach gets the stick back, Stiles leans across to Scott, confirming that the hexagonal end of the lacrosse stick matches Carrie's stab wounds. The killer must be on the lacrosse team.

Scott, Stiles, Hope and Kira look for a hidden knife in the school's lacrosse sticks. Scott points out that most players use their own gear and Stiles thinks that instead of trying to find the weapon, they should be finding a way to get the game cancelled.
