"Tessa!" I hear in my sleep. "Isaac! Tessa! Get up! I need your help! Tess! Isaac!"

I jump out of my bed and run into Scott's room as does Isaac.

"What? What's wrong?" Isaac asks.

"It's Stiles. Get dressed." Scott tells us.

"What's wrong with Stiles?" I ask him.

"I don't know."

I quickly get dressed in jeans and throw on a sweatshirt over my sports bra. I slip on my sneakers than walk down the stairs with Scott and Isaac. Once I'm on the ground floor, my phone rings.

"Stiles." I say.

"Did Scott call him?" He asks. "Did you call my dad."

"No, just me and Isaac. We're coming to find you. Can you figure out where you are? Try to find something to tell us where to look."

"It's a basement. Some- some kind of basement."

"In a house?"

"No, it looks bigger. Like industrial. I think there's a furnace. It's cold. It's freezing down here. I gotta turn- I gotta turn the phone off. It's gonna die."

"Wait, wait, wait. What else is there? What do you see."

"Phone's dying. I can't talk. I have to go."

"Stiles, why are you whispering?"

"Because I think there's someone in here with me."

We pull up to Stiles' house and go straight to his room. As we enter, Aidan and Lydia are already in there.

"How did you know?" Scott asks.

"Did he call you too?" I question.

"I heard it." Lydia says.

"Don't ask." Aidan advises. "It gets more confusing when you ask."

"Not as confusing as this." Lydia says, referring to his room.

His walls are filled from pictures to newspaper articles. Red yarn is connected form the middle of his bed to most of them.

"He uses red for unsolved cases." Lydia reveals.

"Maybe he thinks it's part of an unsolved case." Aidan suggests.

"Or it is an unsolved case." Isaac says.

"Hold on." Lydia says. "Is he still out there? You don't know where he is?"

"He said he's in an industrial basement somewhere." Scott says.

"We came here to get a better scent." I state.

"What else did he say?" Lydia questions.

"Something's wrong with his leg." Scott answers. "It's bleeding."

"And he's freezing." Isaac adds.

"Tonight's the coldest night of the year. It's gonna drop into the twenties." Aidan says.

"What did his dad say?" Lydia asks.

"We...kind of didn't tell him yet." Scott sheepishly says.

"Stiles is bleeding and freezing and you didn't tell his dad?" Lydia exclaims.

"He made me promise not to! We can find him by scent. If he was sleepwalking, he couldn't have gotten far, right?"

"You guys didn't notice his jeep's gone, did you?" Aidan asks.
