In A Flash

Chapter Fourteen

I finally arrive at Lydia's house to find a few other vehicles parked there, including a very familiar green motorbike. I rush inside and into the living room to find the pack looking very worried. "What's going on?" I ask as I walk to Malia's side. Lydia hands me her laptop. "See for yourself." She says. I look closer at the screen. The code has been unscrambled. It now reads:

Sean Walcott: 250

David Walcott: 250

Michael Walcott: 250

Christina Walcott: 250

Lydia Martin: 20

Scott McCall: 25

Demarco Montana: 250

Derek Hale: 15

Carrie Hudson: 500

Kayleen Bettcher: 250

Kira Yukimura: 6

Elias Town: 250

Mitchell Norman: 15

I look back around at my friends in confusion. I place the laptop on the table. "What is this?" I ask. A sudden flash of Mitchell Norman's body flashes through my mind. I can't help but shudder slightly. Malia senses my unease and holds my hand comfortingly. "We're calling it a deadpool. A hit list of supernatural creatures." Lydia explains simply. I look back at the list again. I frown. Not everyone's names are on this supernatural hit list. Including mine. "Why does it only have a few names on here then? What do the numbers mean?" I ask the group.

"We believe that there are two other cipher keys. We need to find out what they are to get the whole list. This is only a third of it. As for the numbers, it's how much each person is worth." Scott tells me.

"I'm guessing that you're not just worth $25.00, are you?" I sigh. Scott shakes his head.

"No. It's actually $25 million. The lower numbers are actually millions, while the seemingly bigger numbers are only thousands." Scott explains. My mouth drops open slightly. My best friend is worth $25 million? Well he's certainly got a huge target on his back. Now that I think of it, the pack members that are on the list are all worth huge amounts of money. This can't be good. My thoughts go back to the dead werewolf pack in the middle of the road. "Do you know who is behind any of this?" Scott asks Derek. The former alpha just shrugs.

"Nope. I've never come across this before." He answers. I decide I should probably speak up.

"Well, uh, I don't know if this helps in any way, but I did find something." I mumble quietly. Everyone is still able to hear me though. "What did you find?" Isaac asks curiously.

"Before I came here, I was just going for a drive, clearing my head. As I reached the outskirts of Beacon Hills, I stopped the jeep and got out. Suddenly, I heard a noise. I hid behind a bush. Moments later, I could hear screaming. Bodies fall onto the road, heads decapitated. I was frozen in shock. Just then, two teenagers and Mitchell Norman run out on to the road as well. I watch in horror as they kill him too. After taking photos of their work, the guy sends them to someone that I think is called the benefactor. I guess it's for confirmation. Once the kill is confirmed, I assume that this benefactor guy will transfer the money into their account." I explain.
