Leo's POV

The drive over to the hospital was eerily calm. Stiles kept gripping the steering wheel tightly, clearly thinking about the information that had now been relayed to us. The thought of the Last Chimera, and Theo's plan that required aid from Deucalion, had us on edge, plus with the lack of Malia, and Lydia, even Liam, the four of us were severely outnumber and outgunned.

We got to the hospital and the atmosphere matched that of the car ride over. A hushed vibe came from the staff as they held there heads now and worked through the night shift, not the usually quietness, or steady rhythm that came with their jobs. We walked towards the elevator and made our way down to where Stiles' said his dad was, the morgue, and the lower we got, the more that rotten scent drifted into my nose.

"You smell it too?" Scott asked, I looked over at him as Stiles and Kira looked between us, I nodded back to him,

"Corpses," I muttered, the elevator dinged and we stepped out, only to catch sight of the nurses wheeling scores of bodies, into the morgue,

The scent of Men's body wash filled my nose, which drew my attention to Jordan's retreating form as he walked down the hall away from us. It was mixed with a sour scent as well, which could mean he was upset.

"Who found them?" Scott asked, pulling my attention back to the others,

"We've got a theory," Scott told him,

"It's a slightly terrifying theory," Stiles added on, as he fidgeted with his hands,

"Well, the ME said that victims were killed somewhere else and then dumped in those tunnels," the sheriff told us, I grimaced at the thought,

"Hey, what if the Dread Doctors are hiding the bodies?" Scott asked us,

"Why would they do that?" Kira asked them,

"Maybe they're covering for it. Protecting it like a parent would," Stiles told us, and that slightly made since,

"Protecting what?" the sheriff asked us, Stiles and Scott shared a look before Scott spoke,

"A werewolf," Scott told him,

"It's called the Beast," Kira added on, the sheriff blinked as he heard it's name,

"We know. Horrifying," Stiles muttered,

"And clearly deadly, because if this is the precursor to the amount of harm it can cause, there's gonna be a lot more bodies," I added on as the last of the bodies were wheeled into the room, the others looked back as the door swung shut, then the sheriff spoke,
