56. This is a hospital
🪐
Rayne stirs in her sleep when she felt a hand go over her mouth. Her eyes opened instantly to see Malia who's hand then left her mouth
"What are you doing!?" She yells in a whisper
"I came to see you." She says.
"Why?" Rayne asks
"Because I usually sleep in your brother's bed and I can't because I'm mad at him."
"I hate to break it to you but I knew as well." She says.
"Yeah but you know what it's like." Malia says
"To?"
"Be lied to your whole life and the people around you." She says.
"Thanks for that reminder." She says
"So can I sleep here tonight." Malia asks
"Sure." She sighs and Malia gets in bed.
"You know I forgave Aiden. You should hear him out."
"I can't. Aiden's dead." Malia says and Rayne looks at her
"Oh you mean Stiles! Right." She nods.
"So how does this work? Do I spoon you?" Rayne asks
"No. Other way around." Malia says and Rayne nods. Malia then turns Rayne onto her side and cuddles into her back
"Goodnight." Malia smiles.
Rayne then softly smiles and closes her eyes.
"Goodnight."
🪐
"Is three enough?" Kira asks
"Depends on how many cameras they have... But I think so." Stiles says
"Are we really doing this?" Liam asks.
"We're doing it-- tonight." Scott says
"But isn't it kind of dangerous...?" Liam asks
"It's incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic." Stiles nods.
"Have you guys done something like this before?" Liam asks
"Something dangerous? Or something idiotic?" Isaac asks
"I think it's a 'yes' to both..." Kira says.
"Oh it definitely is a yes to both." Rayne nods.
"You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to..." Scott reassures
"I'm not scared!" Liam denies.
"Then you're borderline idiotic." Stiles says
"If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?" Stiles says
"How do we know something's definitely coming?" Kira asks.
"Because the tape from Garrett's bag said 'visual confirmation required.'" Scott says
"Simon said the same thing-- he couldn't get paid by the Benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead." Stiles says
"So, the idea is... What if you kill someone on the Deadpool, but you can't send the proof?" Isaac says.
"You don't get paid." Kira says
"But how does that get us any closer to the Benefactor?" Liam asks
"He still needs to know if the target is really dead." Scott says.
"Especially if it's someone high on the list. Especially if that person is the highest on that list." Rayne says
"So, if he wants visual confirmation..."
"He's going to have to come himself." Scott says.
🪐
"Are you guys totally sure about this?" Liam asks
"I think Liam's kind of nervous. Maybe you should tell him it's going to be all right." Kira says
"It's going to be all right." Scott says.
"So, you've done this before, right?" Liam asks
"I've seen it done..." Noshiko says
"Is that just as good?" Rayne asks.
"No." She says
"Mom, you're not inspiring confidence." Kira says
"Good! This is a terrible idea." Her mother scolds.
"Do you want us to do it without you?" Kira asks
"Put your hand over his heart." Noshiko says and she does but he stops her
"Hold on What happens while I'm out? Am I gonna feel anything?" Scott asks.
"It might feel like you're dreaming..." She says
"Good dreams, or bad?" He asks
"I suppose that's up to you." She shrugs and Kira puts her hand on his heart and electrocutes him.
🪐
"WHAT HAPPENED TO MY SON?" They all hear Melissa wail and then she walks into the room sniffling and then wipes her face
"I still hate this plan. I mean, this is pretty significantly terrifying-- he looks dead." She says.
"Give me your hand." Noshiko says and she looks at the twins
"It's okay..." They say and Noshiko places it on Scott's heart
"Wait for it..." She says.
"Is that enough to keep a Werewolf alive?" Melissa asks
"Enough for an Alpha." She says
"How much time do we have?" Melissa asks.
"Forty-five minutes." She says
"What happens after that?" She asks
"I bring him back the same way." Kira says.
"No, I mean, what happens if he stays like this longer than forty-five minutes?" Melissa asks
"No one's told her?" Noshiko asks and they all look at the ground
"What? What happens after forty-five minutes?" Melissa asks.
"He dies."
🪐
Stiles, Rayne, Isaac and Argent all gather around a computer connected to the Benefactor
"That's your assassin-speak?" Stiles asks
"I said 'He's dead.' What more do you want?" Argent asks.
"It's a little dry... You could have said something like, 'Target has been neutralised.' 'The crow flies at midnight,' that's always cool." Stiles says
"Well, if you in a teenage spy movie." Isaac mutters and Rayne chuckles.
Then the computer beeps with a message from the Benefactor
VISUAL CONFIRMATION IN REQUIRED.
Stiles goes to type at the same time as Argent but steps away and then Argent does the same
"I'll do it. Idiots." Rayne mutters
"Type this. 'Visual confirmation isn't possible. Police coming to claim body in forty minutes.'" Rayne does what Argent tells her and then another message comes through.
VISUAL CONFIRMATION IN REQUIRED FOR PAYMENT.
"Tell him 'Number one on the list is dead. I killed him. And, if the wire transfer isn't completed in forty minutes." Argent says and then takes the computer to type.
I'M COMING AFTER YOU.
"But 'Target has been neutralised.' Is extreme?" Rayne scoffs looking at the message.
🪐
Rayne, Liam, Stiles, Kira and Isaac all stand in the same room as three of them stand in front of computers. Isaac then gets a call from Argent and puts it on speaker
"I'm here. You ready?" He asks
"Yeah." Isaac says.
"Try it now." Argent says and Stiles turns on the computers to see all of the security cameras in the hospital.
🪐
They stand in front of the computers just waiting before something happens
"Is that supposed to look like that?" Liam asks looking at a static screen
"No. No, it's not..." Stiles says.
"Where is that?" Isaac asks
"The roof. Someone's gonna have to go check it out." Rayne says
"I'll go." Kira says.
"Whoa, whoa... This might not just be a malfunction." Stiles says
"That's why I'm bringing this." She says holding her Katana
"I'm coming with you!" Liam says following her.
"Okay... And you're both coming right back. Immediately." Stiles says
"Kids..." He sighs
"You're such a mom." Rayne says shaking her head.
"How am I the mom?" He asks
"Oh you so are." Isaac nods along
"But how am I the mom?" Stiles asks and they just look at each other and chuckle.
🪐
Rayne, Isaac and Stiles try to find Argent and turn a corner to see a gun in their faces
"Why are you always pointing a gun? This is a fucking hospital." Rayne says and he puts it away.
"The power's out in the whole building. I lost all the cameras." Stiles says
"Stay with Scott. Text me if you see or hear anything." Argent says and checks his timer on his watch.
🪐
All three of them stand in the morgue as Stiles tries to call Argent
"Come on, come on... Answer the phone... Answer the phone, Argent! Come on, Argent, answer the phone... Why are you not answering the phone?" He exclaims.
Then Argent gets thrown into the room
"All if you, get out of here! Run!" He says and Kate walks through the door
"Get out of the way, Stiles. I'm taking the body." She says and Isaac helps Argent up.
"Why? Visual confirmation?" He asks
"Don't worry, handsome-- I'm not the Benefactor." She says
"Then what do you want with the body?" Rayne asks.
"I wish I could tell you, beautiful."
"You do understand we are minors right? You can't say that." She says and Argent grabs Kate's arm but she moves it back and he points a gun under her jaw.
"I always forget you carry two."
"Back off!" He shouts
"You sure you can pull the trigger fast enough?" Kate asks
"I don't want to." He says.
"You're not going to kill me." She says
"I'm not going to let you take his body." He says
"Okay, well... obviously, you guys have a lot to talk about... So, maybe I saw some coffee, a vending machine, outside...?" Stiles says.
"Listen to me, Kate-- we have a plan." He says
"If killing Scott was part of it, you're worse than me." She says
"He's telling the truth-- we're trying to get to the Benefactor." Stiles says.
"If you didn't notice, you're on that list, too-- and you're worth more than most." Argent says
"That's why I'm here." She says
"Then back off and let us do what we planned. Take the Berserkers and go." He says.
"Kate, please. We have a plan."
🪐
Scott jolts awake shouting and everyone sighs in relief then Scott and Kira kiss
"What happened did it work?" Scott asks and everyone stays quietly and Liam walks in
"What?" Kira asks.
"It's your mother. She's hurt."
