"This is what Lydia found?" Ariane asks

"Yeah. She thinks there's more. Maybe another set of names." Luisa says, "As far as we know, two people on here are already dead. The Walcott's plus two more from that family."

Ariane sets Luisa's phone down, "They were killed by The Mute."

"Exactly." Luisa nods, "Who was killed by Peter. Then at Lydia's party, Demarco was killed. He was delivering a keg and was decapitated outside of his car. Then last night, Carrie Hudson."

"Okay, so how do we know how many people are gonna be on the other lists?"

"Stiles thinks there's a limit." Luisa explains, "The numbers beside each name are gonna add up to 117 million dollars."

"From the Hale vault." Ariane sighs finally putting the pieces together

"Exactly." Luisa nods, "Hopefully, Lydia can unlock the other names before the killer clears the list."

"So it's just a game of cat and mouse until we can figure out who the hell is killing supernatural creatures?"

"Essentially."

"Perfect."

Luisa jumps from her place beside her locker, "Adrian."

"Hey." She says, "How are you?"

"I'm good." Luisa says hesitantly. Her brows furrowed, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." Adrian shrugs. Though Luisa can see through her nonchalant act. The way her eyes bounced around the hallway gave her away.

"Adrian." Luisa says softly, "What's wrong?"

Adrian sighs as she looks around before looking back at Luisa, "I don't know. Finding everything out recently, I feel like I'm kind of losing it."

"Losing it how?"

"I've been hovering over Liam. Being super overprotective because I don't want him to freak and shift. Plus that list that Lydia found. Even though he's not on it, he's gotta be on the other lists because he's supernatural. But I know that if I keep hovering, he's gonna get stressed out and in turn, freak out then shift. So, it's just this constant cycle of looming anxiety that I can't escape."

As Adrian finishes, she lets out a deep sigh. Luisa shuts her locker and pulls Adrian into a hug. Adrian lets out a breath as she wraps her arms around Luisa. A few seconds later, Luisa pulls away. Her hands still holding Adrian by her arms, "Everything is gonna be okay. I promise that we're not gonna let anything happen to Liam. We'll figure it out."

Adrian sighs again as she nods, "Okay. Sorry."

"Don't be sorry. It's okay." Luisa chuckles, "Trust me, I was just as bad when I found out about the whole supernatural thing."

Adrian finally chuckles making Luisa smile. Luisa rubs her arm, "We'll figure it out."

"Okay." Adrian nods

______________________________________

Luisa, Scott, Stiles, and Kira were gathered in Coach's office. Upon looking at the photos from the previous murder, Stiles figured out that the killer was on the lacrosse team. Scott sighs as he sets another lacrosse stick down, "This... This is pointless. Most of the team plays with their own gear."

"Maybe instead of trying to find a lacrosse stick with a hidden dagger in it, we should be trying to get the game canceled?" Kira says

"The game's the best way to catch him red-handed."

"But what if he's red-handed 'cause his hands are covered in the blood of the person that he just stabbed to death?" Stiles asks, "Which, by the way, could be either of you guys."

"Or Liam." Luisa sighs thinking back to her conversation with Adrian, "We don't have the whole list and he could be on it."

"We don't know anything about that list." Stiles says, "How it's made, how it's updated. I mean, who's been out taking a supernatural census anyway?"

"How do they even know about me?" Kira adds

"They know about everyone." Scott mutters

Luisa sighs as she runs her hand through her hair, "I think Kira's right. I think we should stop the game."

"I'm not afraid." Scott says

Kira shrugs, "Neither am I."

Stiles and Luisa's faces form into one of shared astonishment. Stiles is the first to speak up, "Well, I'm terrified. And I'm not even on the list. Guys, these are professional killers. It's their profession. One of them's got a thermo-cut wire that cuts heads off. Who knows what else they have?"

Scott and Kira look to each other as Stiles sighs.

Adrian's heart was thumping against her ribs as she rushed toward the boys locker room. She knows that going towards a roar was probably a terrible idea, but she had just seen Brett, along with the rest of Liam's old team, sitting outside. She had to check on her brother.

"Okay! Okay!" She hears as she pushes the door open

"Liam?" She calls out. She rushes toward the showers and sees Liam sitting up against the wall soaked in water with Scott and Stiles at his side, "Oh my god, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." He pants, "What are you doing in here?"

"I saw Brett outside. Heard your roar as I was looking for you."

Liam looks down with his arms resting on his knees.

"That car you smashed. I thought you said that was your teacher's." Scott says

"He was also my Coach. He benched me for the entire season."

"What did you do?"

"I got a couple of red cards."

"Just a couple?" Stiles asks

Adrian and Liam look towards the boy. Liam turning away as Adrian rolls her eyes with a sigh, "Just be honest, Liam."

Scott squats down beside him, "You gotta be honest with us. What else happened?"

"Nothing. I got kicked out of school. They sent me to a psychologist for evaluation."

"What did they call it?"

"Intermittent Explosive Disorder."

"I.E.D? You're literally an I.E.D?" Stiles exclaims, "That's great. That's great. You gave powers to a walking time bomb."

"Can you not be an asshole for five seconds please?" Adrian snaps. Stiles eyes snap over to her as she glares. Her eyes softening tremendously as she looks down at Liam again.

"Did they give you anything for it?"

"Risperdal. It's an antipsychotic."

"Oh, this just gets better." Stiles scoffs

"But I don't take it."

"Obviously."

"Shut up." Adrian snaps again

"I can't play lacrosse on it. It makes me too tired." Liam adds

Scott sighs, "Okay. I think you should bail out of the game. Tell Coach your leg is still hurting."

"No, no!" Liam says quickly as he stands, "I can do this. Especially if you're there."

"But, Liam, it's not just about the game. We think whoever killed Demarco might be on our team."

"Who's Demarco?" Adrian asks

"The one who brought the beer to the party. The guy who was beheaded. Remember?"

"We think the person who ordered the keg killed Demarco." Scott explains. He immediately notices Liam look down, "Liam? What, you know something?"

"I don't know who ordered the keg. But I know who paid for it."
