"This is everything non-lethal I could find" Allison informed as she led her father, Nova, David, Jake, Derek and Sheriff Stilinski into Chris Argent's office

A length of rope, a flashlight, zip-ties, a silver chain, handcuffs and a taser lay on top of his desk,

"Take all of it" Chris sighed

"What's the plan here?" Sheriff Stilinski asked

"Well our best shot right now is for Derek and Nova to try to pick up Stiles' scent at Eichen House" the male hunter replied "especially if he went through something stressful there"

"Should all of us be going to the same place?" his eyebrows furrowing slightly

"Where else has Stiles been showing up?" looking at him

"The school, hospital" Allison replied

"Okay, hold on" Nova spoke up "we did this already" looking at them

"He disappeared, we started looking for him" Derek added "then walked right into a trap at the hospital"

"He's getting us to repeat the same moves" Chris concluded

"So what do we do?" Allison asked "wait for him to come to us?"

"We can't" Derek replied "not if the Oni find him when the sun goes down"

"Scott's working on that right now, with Kira" Nova informed

"That's the problem" David spoke up "you're all trying to out-fox the fox"

". . Listen" Sheriff Stilinski said "I'll understand if anyone wants to back out"

There was a brief silence between the small group. David didn't say anything else, not really knowing the spastic teen well enough, but knew Nova did. So he was going to try to help out as best as he can with the situation they were in, and Nova definitely wasn't going to back down. Stiles was her friend, she was going to do what she could.

". . I'm not going to be the first wolf to run from a fox" Derek said

"We never back down" Jake added, speaking for himself and his siblings

"Apparently I'm carrying the lightsaber" Chris said, amusement in his voice

"Dad, you and Derek, Nova and her brothers at Eichen House" Allison said "Sheriff, it's you and me at the hospital. We all meet at the school"

Sheriff Stilinski gave her a small nod, gently taking the duffle bag from her hands as they walked out of the office, Derek lingering behind for a moment,

"Making sure you have a few lethal options just in case?" The alpha asked

"I like to prepare for the worst" Chris replied, shoving a magazine into his gun

Before they were able to make it to Eichen House, Allison sent Nova a text, informing the redhead that the Nogitsune was seen in Stiles room, through the security cameras Sheriff Stilinski had installed. So they had to turn around and go to the Stilinski household, where they all looked around his bedroom,

"What is all this?" Chris asked, looking at a chess board "what are all these sticky notes for?"

"This is what Stiles used to try and explain to me about all of you" Sheriff Stilinski informed

"Cool, maybe it's a message from Stiles" Allison said as she looked at the board as well "the real Stiles"

"You think there's any reason my names on the king?" Derek asked, pointing to the piece
