"Keep the pose." Rayne says with a camera in her hand
"Are we even allowed to be here this late? What if security catches us?" He asks and she scoffs and sips her milkshake
"There is no security! The number of homicides in this school has seen to it that no sane person will ever take a night job here again."

"So, we're all alone...?" He asks
"You're losing the pose again." She says looking through the lens
"You know, when you said you wanted me to model for you, this wasn't what I thought you had in mind..." He says.

"Wow. Keep it in your pants." She says and he takes off his hoodie and gives it to her and she puts it on top of her clothes and takes his photo and he walks to her and takes the camera and takes her photo then one of them kissing.

She looks up at him with her lips barely touching his
"Well, if you're thinking nude modeling, it's usually done without the pants." She smiles and pushes him away and then she goes back to her original place when she hears his zipper unzip and he throws his jeans at her as she takes a gulp on her milkshake.

She then turns to him and tries to hide her smile while biting the straw and he goes to pull his underwear when Stiles calls her
"Yes?" She asks
"Rayne? Please help me." He says and the line goes dead.

She tries calling him back again and again but he doesn't answer
"Rayne?" Aiden asks
"We need to go, it's Stiles." She says.

🪐

"How did you know? Did he call you, too?" Scott asks as they stand in his room
"I heard it." Lydia says
"He called me when I was at the school with Aiden, we were taking pictures." Rayne says and Isaac looks at her and Aiden.

"Don't ask-- it gets more confusing when you ask." He says
"Okay..." Issac says
"Not as confusing as this." Rayne says.

"He uses red for unsolved cases..." Lydia says
"Maybe he thinks he's part of an unsolved case?" Aiden says
"Or is an unsolved case?" Isaac suggests.

"Hold on-- is he still out there? You don't know where he is?" Lydia asks
"He said that he was in an industrial basement somewhere." Scott says
"We came here to get a better scent." Issac says.

"What else did he say?" Rayne asks
"Something's wrong with his leg-- it's bleeding." Scott says
"And he's freezing." Isaac says.

"Tonight's the coldest night of the year. It's going to drop into the twenties." Aiden says
"What did his dad say?" Lydia asks
"We kind of... We didn't tell him yet." Scott says
"Stiles is bleeding and freezing and you didn't call our dad?" Rayne shouts.

"He made me promise not to!" Scott defends
"We can find him by scent. If he was sleepwalking, he couldn't have gotten far, right?" He says
"You didn't notice his Jeep is gone, did you?" Aiden asks.

"You promised you wouldn't call his dad-- I didn't." Lydia says
"Wait, Lydia! Hold on-- I can get more help. I can call Derek, Allison-"
"Everyone except for the cops. Great idea!" Rayne and Lydia shout.

"You guys remember she only gets these feelings when someone's about to die, right?" Rayne says
"You don't have to call his dad. It's five minutes to the station." Scott says
"We'll catch up." Lydia says holding Rayne back.

"What? Why?" Scott and Rayne ask
"There's something here..." Lydia says
"Yeah, evidence of total insanity." Isaac mutters.

"We can figure out what's wrong with him after we find a way to keep him from freezing to death." Scott says
"Go."
"We'll be right behind you." Lydia says.

🪐

"Okay, I am not sitting here for any longer. I'm going." Rayne says
"Rayne-" Aiden says
"I need to go." She says and walks down the stairs.

"Rayne." He says
"What?" She asks and he goes closer to her
"Don't anything drastic, okay?"

"What do you mean?" She asks
"You know what I mean." He says
"I've not got them with me." She says and walks out the house.

She gets in her car and takes out the bottle of pills down puts some in her mouth then swallows them
"Right. To the sheriff station." She says.

🪐

She walks into the station to see Melissa
"Hi, I'm Melissa McCall. I was hoping to see Agent McCall." She says
"What are you doing here?" He asks.

"My shift was over. I just wanted to see if I could help."
"I'm going with you, I'm not taking no for an answer." Rayne says
"Right, okay." Rafael says.

🪐

"So, what are you saying?" Melissa asks as Rafael drives and Rayne sits in the back
"I'm saying, the real question might be... How do we know he's not still asleep?" He asks
"You mean, he's been asleep the whole time?" She asks.

"Well, people who sleepwalk can do crazy things. One guys goes down and cooks an entire meal, another guy is found mowing his lawn naked..." He says
"Why's any of that matter?" She asks
"Remember that townhouse apartment we lived in? There was that one night, I came home drunk-"

"Oh, one night?" Melissa asks and Rayne just looks between the two
"Let me finish. So, I'm drunk, passed out on the bed. I get up to go to the bathroom. Then, all of a sudden, I hear you yelling, 'What the hell are you doing?'" He says
"Because you were in the closet, peeing into the laundry basket!" She says.

"Yeah, I thought it was the bathroom." He defends
"Oh no, you were drunk off your ass." She says
"Yeah, but I was convinced it was the bathroom." He says.

"Yeah..."
"So, how do we know Stiles isn't just convinced he's in some kind of basement, and isn't actually there? I think when he called Scott, he was still asleep... And is still asleep right now." He says.

"Then where is he?" She asks
"I got an idea about that, too." He says
"Is this what it's like having divorced parents? Because dear god!" Rayne says.

🪐

They walk to the preserve and find him screaming
"Stiles." Melissa says and he thrashes around
"Wait! No! WAIT!" He shouts.

"Stiles!" Rayne says
"Wait!" He then jolts awake
"Stiles! You're all right! Okay? You're all right. Stiles, you're all right." Melissa says hugging him and Rayne holds his hand.

🪐

Rayne and her dad walk into the hall to the rest of the group
"He's sleeping now... And he's just fine. He doesn't remember much. It's a bit like a dream to him." Noah says
"Thank you." He says to Rafael.

"It was that repellent we sprayed in the coyote den to keep other animals out. I couldn't go near it without my eyes watering. it just a good thing he mentioned it over the phone." Rafael dismisses
"No, it was more than that. Thank you." He says.

"It was a lucky connection." He says
"McCall, can you shut up please and accept my sincerest gratitude?" Noah says
"Accepted."

"All right, you three. You've got school in less than six hours. Go home. Go to sleep." Melissa says
"Okay." Scott says and they begin to walk out the hospital
"I don't know what happened. I was so sure..." Lydia says.

"Yeah, I wasn't much help, either. Doesn't matter, if he's okay." Scott says and she stops
"Lydia, do you hear something?" Rayne asks
"No. I didn't hear anything." She says.

🪐

Rayne stood with her dad and Melissa staring into Stiles' hospital room
"It was the other day... I asked him some questions... Just symptoms, and, um..." Melissa trails off
"Yeah, it's okay... I think, I, uh... I think I know what you're talking about." Noah says handing her his note pad.

"I've been writing these down for the last two weeks. I think we need to do some tests." He says and Rayne hugs him
"I was googling what it could and when it came it was this weird feeling." Rayne says and turns again to see him still sleeping.

🪐

"I'm not sure I know how to pronounce this... or if it's not actually a misspelling..."
"Just call him Stiles."
"Okay. Stiles, just to warn you, you're going to hear a lot of noise during the MRI. It's due to pulses of electricity going through metal coils inside the machine. Uh, if you want, we can get you earplugs or headphones..." The doctor says.

"Oh, no. No, I don't need anything." Stiles says
"Hey, we're just on the other side of that window, okay?" Noah says
"Okay." He nods and they all leave except Rayne and Scott.

"You know what they're looking for, right?" Stiles asks
"It's called frontotemporal dementia. Areas of your brain start to shrink. It's what my mother had. It's the only form of dementia that can hit teenagers... and there's no cure." He says.

"Stiles, if you have it, we'll do something." Scott says
"I'll do something." He says
"I've been in one of these before just look for anything, the marks on the top of it, the dots. I love you." Rayne says with tears in her eyes.

"I love you too." Stiles says and they all hug with tears nearly falling.

🪐

"Okay, Stiles... This will take about forty-five minutes to an hour." The doctor says and Stiles tries to get comfortable
"Now, remember, try not to move." He says and Stiles moves a little
"Even a little bit." He says.

"Stiles, you're going to hear that noise now. It's going to be a loud clanging-- kind of like a hammer hitting an anvil." He says
"That's weirdly specific." Rayne says.

Imagines start to appear on the screen
"See this? The tissue here and there? Both those spots are showing signs of atrophy." The Doctor says
"Atrophy." Noah says
"I'm sorry." He says and tears begin to fall.

🪐

Suddenly the power goes out and the lights flicker and go back to normal
"What was that?" Melissa asks
"It sounded like a power surge." The doctor replies and Rayne nd Noah look through the glass.

"Where's my son?"
