Scott led Stiles into his house, his nerves and anxiety eating away at him. The human was the first to arrive, but Willow was on her way. Everything had happened so quickly — the kid at the hospital being a Wendigo, a mouthless man murdering him with an axe, and Scott having to bite Liam Dunbar to keep him from falling off the roof of the hospital.

That led to now.

Since Scott wasn't feeling particularly chatty, Stiles was going over everything he'd heard from his father about the investigation. "Like I said, I told my dad everything I could—"

"But you didn't tell him about Liam?" Scott asked nervously.

"You barely told me about Liam!" Stiles snapped. "What did you do with him, anyway?"

"He's upstairs," he answered awkwardly.

"Doing what?"

Scott scratched the back of his neck while looking in the direction of his room. "Lying down."

And technically, he was lying down. Scott led Stiles to the bathroom and he pulled back the shower curtain, revealing the fifteen-year-old that was bound and gagged by duct tape. As soon as Liam spotted Stiles, he yelled for help, though it was muffled by the tape.

Stiles shook his head in disbelief and walked out of the bathroom, taking a seat on Scott's bed. "So, you bit him?"

"Yeah..."

"And you kidnapped him?"

"Yeah..."

"And brought him here?"

"I panicked!" Scott exclaimed.

Stiles nodded along. "Yup. This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it?"

Because the bathroom door was cracked, Liam overheard that and instantly started yelling, terrified that two juniors were about to kill him.

"As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans! Your plans suck!" Stiles snapped, narrowing his eyes at Scott.

"I know," he mumbled. "Which is why I called you. Willow too. She's on her way."

"You called Willow?" Stiles whispered, his eyes wide. "No! She's the worst option. This will be us kidnapping Jackson all over again."

"I thought maybe she could use her powers—"

"Except she won't use her powers to calm him down," he interrupted Scott. "She's made it very clear that she's only healing. So, call her and tell her to go back to Derek's before she calls the police on us—"

"Scott?" Both boys froze when they heard Willow's voice, who let herself into the house.

Willow made her way through the house and upstairs, figuring that Scott was in his room since he didn't meet her at the door. Stiles was there as well, judging by the blue jeep sitting in the driveway.
