Jessica's outfit

Jessica lays in her bed with Malia next to her. Malia's arm was securely placed over Jessica's waist, holding her close.

"Are you okay?" Malia asks making Jessica frown. "With everything."

"Yeah. As okay you can be when your brother is an Alpha Werewolf." Jessica answers as Malia presses a light kiss to her shoulder. "Are you sure you don't wanna be part of the plan tomorrow?" Jessica asks as she looks at her girlfriend.

"Yes. I'm still mad at them for lying." Malia answers, making Jessica pout and turn to her.

"It won't be the same without you," she states and Malia chuckles as she places a small kiss on Jessica's lips.

"You'll live. Besides, you can still come with me to see Peter." Malia reminds her and Jessica shakes her head.

"No, we don't have the best history with him trying to kill me like, was it five times?" she tries to think for a moment before giving up. " I can never remember."

Jessica, Kira, Liam, Scott, and Stiles stand around a table in the McCall house. Two laptops were lying on the table and Stiles takes out another one from his bag, putting it next to the other two.

"Is three enough?" Kira asks as she glances at the laptops.

"Depends on how many cameras they have. But I think so." Stiles answers and Liam glances at the other teenagers.

"Are we really doing this?" he asks and Jessica nods.

"We're doing it. Tonight. So suck it up." she says and ruffles Liam's hair.

"But isn't it kind of dangerous?" Liam asks and Stiles nods.

"Yeah, it's incredibly dangerous. And borderline idiotic," he answers and Jessica chuckles at his comment.

"Have you guys done something like this before?" Liam asks, causing Jessica to think for a moment.

"Something incredibly dangerous? Or borderline idiotic? 'Cause I think it's yes to both." Jessica states and Kira nods.

"You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to. The same goes for you, Jessica. You're still healing after the gunshot." Scott assures them and Jessica pats his shoulder.

"We've been through this. It won't be realistic if I'm not there. I'm your little sister, deal with it." she says and Liam nods in agreement.

"And I'm not scared." Liam states and Stiles smiles as he puts a hand on the younger boy's shoulder.

"Well, then you're borderline idiotic, just like Jessica," Stiles tells him, causing Jessica to hit the back of his head. "If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?" Stiles asks Scott.

"How do we know something's definitely coming?" Kira questions, making Scott turn to her.

"Because the tape from Garett's bag said visual confirmation required," he answers and Jessica nods.

"Simon said the same thing," Stiles speaks up. "He couldn't get paid by The Benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead."

"So the idea is, what if you kill someone on the dead pool, but you can't send the proof?" Scott asks them.

"You don't get paid," Kira answers, a crease forming between her eyebrows.

"But how does that get us any closer to The Benefactor?" Liam asks with a frown as he turns to Scott.

"He still needs to know if the target is really dead," Scott answers and Jessica raises her eyebrows.

"Or she," she adds, causing Stiles to frown.

"Or she? What do you mean?" he asks and Jessica rolls her eyes.

"The Benefactor could be a girl or a woman, you know?" she says and Scott groans.

"Fine, he or she still needs to know if the target is really dead." Scott corrects himself and Jessica smiles in satisfaction. 

"Especially if it's someone high on the list," Stiles adds, causing Liam to nod.

"So, if he wants visual confirmation... Or she..." Liam adds when he sees Jessica's glare.

"He's going to have to come get it himself. Or herself." Scott says and Jessica rolls her eyes.

"Is it really that hard to believe a girl or a woman could also be The Benefactor?"

"I-I don't know what happened." Jessica chokes out as she follows the ambulance gurney into the hospital. Dried tears were visible on Jessica's cheeks and new ones were falling from her eyes.

"It's okay, just try to remember." a nurse says as and Jessica nods.

"Um, h- he just started choking like he had an ast- asthma attack. I ran to get his inhaler and when I came back... He was just lying there." she explains as tears fall down her cheeks.

Dr. Greyer jogs up to them and takes the gurney into a trauma room, all the nurses and doctors following him, leaving Jessica alone outside of the room.

Three minutes had gone Jessica was sitting on a chair, waiting for news about her brother. She fiddles with her skirt as she waits, a worried expression glued onto her face.

"Melissa McCall, you're needed in trauma room 2. Melissa McCall to trauma room 2." the speaker above her head says and Jessica looks up as Dr. Greyer walks out of the room Scott was in.

"Is he okay? I-is Scott okay?" she asks, barely above a whisper and Dr. Greyer sits down next to her.

"You're Jessica McCall, right? Melissa's daughter?" he asks and Jessica nods. She looks at him for a second before realization crosses over her face.

"He didn't make it," she whispers as tears fall down her face.

Suddenly Melissa walks down the corridor, a confused look on her face. Jessica gets up from her chair and runs towards her mother with tears in her eyes.

"What's going on, Jess?" Melissa asks in a worried tone as she hugs Jessica.

"He's gone, mom. Scott's gone." Jessica chokes out and Melissa shakes her head.

"No, no, no, it can't be true," she murmurs as she hugs Jessica tighter. "No! No!" Melissa screams as she and Jessica glide down to the floor, with tears streaming down their cheeks. "What happened? What happened to my son?" Melissa asks as Dr. Greyer walks over to them.

Jessica closes her eyes as her mother lets out a broken scream. Jessica sobs in her mother's embrace as she hugs her even tighter.

"It's all my fault. If I just called the ambulance instead of running to get his inhaler." Jessica wails and Mélissa shakes her head.

"It's not your fault, sweetie. This was nobody's fault," she murmurs into her daughter's ear. They both just sit there on the floor, crying and hugging each other.

Melissa and Jessica walk into the morgue. Jessica rubs the tears out of her eyes as they walk towards Scott's pale, unmoving body.

"I still hate this plan," Melissa announces as she looks up at Liam, Kira, Stiles, and Noshiko who were all standing around Scott's body. "I mean this is pretty significantly terrifying."

"I agree. He looks really dead." Jessica states and Stiles pulls her into his side.

"Give me your hand," Noshiko says and holds out her hand. Melissa glances at Jessica with a skeptical look on her face.

"It's okay mom," Jessica assures her and Melissa hesitantly puts her hand in Noshiko's.

Noshiko puts Melissa's hand over Scott's heart, making Melissa bite her lip when she doesn't feel anything.

"Wait for it," Noshiko demands, and Melissa nods. They all wait for a second before Melissa chuckles slightly when she feels a single heartbeat.

"Is that, uh, enough to keep a Werewolf alive?" Melissa asks with a tone laced with uncertainty.

"Enough for an Alpha," Noshiko answers with a reassuring smile.

"How much time do we have again?" Jessica questions with creased eyebrows.

"Forty-five minutes." Noshiko reminds her and Melissa nods.

"What happens after that?" she asks, looking at the others.

"I bring him back the same way," Kira answers as she glances at Stiles with a wary expression.

"No, I mean what happens if he stays like this longer than forty-five minutes?" Melissa asks, making everyone glance at each other.

"No one's told her?" Noshiko questions, making the teens look down at the floor in guilt.

"What? What happens after forty-five minutes?" Melissa asks with a slightly raised tone. "Jessica, tell me now," she demands and Jessica looks at her mother.

"He dies."

Jessica, Stiles, and Chris stand around a laptop, writing the message to The Benefactor.

"Scott McCall dead. Payment requested." Jessica reads off the computer. "That's good. Very professional," she states and smiles at Chris, making him give her a small smile. 

"That's your assassin speak?" Stiles asks with disbelief in his voice. Jessica rolls her eyes whilst Chris raises his eyebrows.

"I said he's dead. What more do you want?" Chris questions as he puts a  hand on his hip.

"It was a little dry. You could've said something like, "Target has been neutralized." or "The crow flies at midnight." that's always cool." Stiles suggests and Jessica pinches the bridge of her nose as Chris nods.

The laptop beeps, bringing their attention to the screen as The Benefactor writes their reply. 

"Visual conformation is required." it read and both Stiles and Chris went to write. Stiles gestures for Chris to write as Chris gestures for Stiles to write. Jessica rolls her eyes before pushing them both out of the way.

"Type this, "Visual confirmation isn't possible. Police coming to claim body in 40 minutes." Chris says and Jessica writes it.

They all look at the screen as The Benefactor replies. "Visual conformation is 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... I'm coming after you." Chris says, making Jessica smile slightly.

"That's good. I literally got chills," she says, making Chris and Stiles turn to her with raised eyebrows.

"Not the time. Got it."

💸💸💸

Jessica, Kira, Liam, and Stiles stand in front of the three laptops in a room at the hospital. Stiles's phone rings and he answers when he sees Chris's name pop up on the screen. 

"I'm here. You ready?" Chris asks over the phone. "Try it now," he says and Jessica starts all the laptops. All the screens light up for a second before getting cut into four small screens to each camera on all the screens.

Stiles raises his eyebrows as he sees it working and Jessica smiles slightly.

"I can't believe it actually worked," she chuckles and Stiles gives her a look. "I mean, I knew it would work 'cause I have such belief in Stiles's plans."

💸💸💸

A nurse wheels a patient past a corner in a wheelchair where Chris was standing. He holds out his arm and opens the timer on his clock to reveal 28 minutes left on the plan.

Noshiko and Melissa sit in Noshiko's car watching for The Benefactor in the hospital parking lot.

"What about him?" Noshiko asks as she changes the angle at the rearview mirror to get a better look at a guy in a black hoodie. Melissa glances at the guy before sighing.

"No. He's in here every week with a new self-diagnosis," she says as she leans back in her seat.

"Hypochondriac?" Noshiko asks as she turns to Melissa.

"No, prescription drug addict," Melissa answers with a sigh before pulling her phone out. She checks the timer to see 26 minutes left and Noshiko glances at the time. 

"Why are we doing this?" she asks making Noshiko frown."Why are we asking them to fight these kinds of fights?" Melissa questions as she looks at Noshiko.

"Because otherwise, we'd be telling them to run and hide," she answers and Melissa sighs again.

"I don't think Jessica wouldn't listen if I told her to run and hide." Melissa states and Noshiko smiles.

"Yeah, I got the feeling she's pretty stubborn."

Sorry for not updating for a while. I thought I would do a double update for New Year's Eve to make it up for you guys.

Anyways, I have a question and I would really appreciate if you commented your answer. If I write another book after this one, who would you want the love interest to be?

I also updated my cover, what do you think?
