SCHOOL WAS CANCELED FOR A few days. Finn thought it should've been more, but hey, he didn't make the rules.

If he did, it'd be purposeful chaos, and he'd enjoy it much more than he'd let the adults think. So now that it was incredibly late, being ten o'clock.

Finn was stuck at home, bored out of his mind. That was until he got a phone call. Of course on the other end was Liam.

"Hey Liam, what's up?" He answered, as he paced around the room.

"Hey Finn, are you doing anything by any chance?" The other teen asked.

"No, I'm not busy. Why?" And so here he was, at the McCall household helping Scott, Stiles, Kira, and Liam in the kitchen with three MacBooks.

He had no idea what the plan was, he was flying the plane in a blinding fog. But he could also say that about the others, "Is three enough?" Kira asked.

"It depends on how many cameras they have but I think so." Stiles replied. Their plan is set for tonight. Liam was worried that their plan was kind of dangerous.

Stiles assures him that it is incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic but they've done dangerous and idiotic things before.

At least that's what they told the younger teens, Scott then told Liam that he nor Finn don't have to be a part of this.

The two protest saying they weren't scared. Whatever their plan was, it was based on the visual confirmation rule set down by the Benefactor.

What happens if you kill someone on the deadpool but you can't send the proof?

The killer doesn't get paid but the Benefactor still needs to know if the target is really dead, especially if it's someone high on the list.

So if the Benefactor wants visual confirmation, he's going to have to come get it himself. In Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital, where someone is being wheeled in from an ambulance.

Liam's stepfather runs to meet the stretcher and takes charge, telling them to get the patient to a trauma room.

It was utter madness as people rush around, they try chest compressions and a few shocks with the defibrillator but the patient still has no pulse.

"I'm calling it. Time of death 2102 hours. Can someone please page Melissa McCall?" All throughout the hospital people could hear the gut-wrenching scream of anguish.

Which were coming from Melissa. Doctor Geyer had delivered the news about Scott's death and she is falling apart. But that was phase one of the plan.

Hours earlier, Scott was laying on his bed, shirt partially unbuttoned. Kira and Mrs. Yukimura stood on either side of the bed.

Finn watched Liam pace the room, nervous as hell, which Finn had to admit was stirring up his own anxiety.

"You've done this before, right?" Liam asked, biting his lower lip.

"I've seen it done." Mrs. Yukimura stated.

Liam tilted his head, "Is that just as good?"

"No." The older woman replied, that didn't sound the least bit good.

Kira let out a groan, "Mom, you're not inspiring confidence."

"Good. This is a terrible idea." Mrs. Yukimura replied. Finn had to agree, he glanced at Liam, guess they were thinking the same thing.

Kira crossed her arms, "Do you want us to do it without you?" Knowing full well they'd do it anyway, Mrs. Yukimura told Kira to put her hand over Scott's heart.

Kira does so. But Scott stops her and asks Mrs. Yukimura what happens while he's out. She tells him it might feel like he's dreaming. Whether the dreams are good or bad depends on Scott.

Partially reassured, he lies back down. Kira puts her hand over Scott's heart and zaps him with foxfire.

Melissa wiped away her tears, walking into the morgue to see Scott's 'dead' body. "I still hate this plan." She admitted to Stiles, Kira, Liam, Finn, and Mrs. Yukimura.

Finn had to give Ms. McCall props for being able to do this, it wasn't easy. She's still emotional, since Scott looks like he's actually dead. Finn didn't plan on looking at Scott, unless he wanted to have a panic attack.

Considering all things, including this mission, that wasn't an option. Noshiko reached out for Melissa's hand. Melissa glanced at Stiles, who tells her that it's okay.

She put out her hand and Noshiko placed it over Scott's heart. After a moment, she could feel a single heartbeat.

It's enough to keep an Alpha alive. They have forty five minutes. After that, Kira would bring Scott back the same way.

If Scott stayed like this longer than 45 minutes, he dies. Everyone knew what to do, so Stiles met Chris in his arsenal basement. Chris contacted the benefactor, saying: Scott McCall dead.

Payment requested. Stiles was disappointed with Chris's assassin speak. He wanted something like 'target has been neutralized' or 'the crow flies at midnight'. The Benefactor responds, writing that visual confirmation is required.

Chris dictates another message to Stiles, saying that visual confirmation is impossible as police were coming to claim the body in 40 minutes. The Benefactor is adamant about visual confirmation.

"Tell him number 1 on the list is dead. I killed him. And if the wire transfer isn't completed in 40 minutes." Chris said he took the computer from Stiles and completed the message: 'I'm coming after you.'

Chris ran to the roof to attach something to the hospital wiring and called Stiles. Stiles, Kira, Liam, and Finn have commandeered an empty patient room and set up their laptops.

Whatever Chris put in the wiring, it seemed to have given Stiles, Kira, Finn, and Liam access to the hospital security cameras. The four were still monitoring the cameras some minutes later.

Finn couldn't help but feel that with each passing minute, it decreases their chances of the plan succeeding. One of the cameras started to flicker, losing signal.

It was the camera from the roof. Kira volunteered as tribute to check it out. Stiles exclaimed, "Woah. Woah. This might not be just a malfunction."

"That's why I'm bringing this." She showed him her bag, which contained her sheathed katana.

Finn stuck with Stiles, not fully equipped with fighting the Benefactor or any supernatural being for that matter.

While Liam bounds out after Kira, probably happy to hang out with someone who has a sword instead of waiting around in a hospital room.

"You're both coming right back. Immediately. Kids." Stiles said.

Finn gave a questioning side glance, as all of them were kids. He shook his head looking back at the camera, still watching as it was losing its signal.

He had an idea, he grabbed the laptop and started typing away, Stiles eyes almost popped out of his skull, as he watched Finn use the device.

Finn felt Stiles's gaze on him, "Take a picture, it'll last longer Stiles." The teen joked. But after that, the idea was busted. He sighed, but then, all of the cameras shut down.

Both of them muttered, "Shit." Kira and Liam get to the roof in time to watch the electrical box go haywire.

Someone had obviously tampered with the wires. It's probably the Berserker that appears behind Kira and Liam. Kira drawed her katana.

The hospital lights flickered as Chris walked down a hallway. Sensing someone behind him, he drew his gun. It's only Stiles and Finn.

Chris lowered his gun and Stiles told him that, since the power is out in the whole building, they've lost all of the cameras.

Chris tells Stiles to stay with Scott and text him if Stiles sees or hears anything. The countdown on Chris's watch says there's eighteen minutes left.

On the roof, Liam shifted, his eyes glowing yellow and his fangs growing out. He ran at the Berserker.

But the Berserker chucked him to the side like a rag doll. Then it turned and punched Kira out. She fell to the ground and was in a haze, having hit her head.

Liam bounced back up, going to her, shaking her and calling out for her to get up; the Berserker was upon them.
——————————————————

Melissa and Noshiko stalked through the hospital. The lights were flickering badly. Melissa said the power only goes out when the hospital's under attack by supernatural creatures.

They get to the room where Stiles, Kira, Finn, and Liam were set up. The three laptops are still there but the kids are nowhere to be seen.

The countdown on one of the laptops read that they have a little over sixteen minutes left. Stiles and Finn were in the morgue, the older teen trying to call Chris. But the man isn't answering.

"Why are you not answering the phone?" Chris answered that question when he was thrown through the morgue doors.

He told the boys to run. Kate Argent walked in. "Get out of the way, Stiles. I'm taking the body." She said.

Finn would take a wild guess and say it was for visual confirmation. Stiles stood his ground, basically planting himself like a tree. "Why? Visual confirmation?" Ha! He called it.

"Don't worry, handsome. I'm not the Benefactor." Kate won't say what she wants with the body.

Chris moved forward and drew his gun, digging it into Kate's throat. Kate sighed; she always forgot that her brother carried two guns.

Chris didn't want to shoot his sister. But he also didn't want Kate to get Scott's body. He told her that they have a plan. Stiles chimed in, saying they're trying to get to the Benefactor.

"If you didn't notice, you're on that list too. And worth more than most." Chris said, his gun unwavering.

Kate smirked, "That's why I'm here, oh you're adorable." She added, her eyes landing on Finn.

The teen cringed. "Yeah, no thanks, creepy lady."

"Then back off and let us do what we planned." Kate looked at Chris's watch and saw that the countdown had reached three minutes. Chris told her to take the Berserkers and go.

And so she did, waiting in anticipation as she walked out of the room and far enough, they opened the door to where Scott was and pulled him out.

Scott woke up, surrounded by Kira, Stiles, Finn, and Chris. Kira kissed Scott, relieved that she didn't kill him. While Scott asked if it worked.

Long story short, it didn't. Liam ran into the room. "It's your mother. She's hurt." It's Noshiko. She's in Melissa's arms, bleeding badly in the hall of the hospital.

Doctor Geyser ran up to the women, asking what happened. Melissa told him to just help her get Noshiko off the floor. The two rushed into action, whisking the injured woman to treatment.

Since there wasn't much anyone could do, Scott took Kira home, and Stiles offered to drive Liam and Finn to their respective houses.

The car ride was mostly silent and uneventful, three teens exhausted from today's chaos. "I'm surprised you called me."

"This supernatural stuff is gonna take a while to get used to." Finn said, chuckling shortly.

Liam turned to his friend, "Definitely, I know you're smart. And we needed all the help we could get."

Finn nodded, smiling, "I'm glad I could help, thanks for calling me." Soon the car came to a stop, Finn hopped out of the car.

Thanking Stiles for the ride home and bidding them a farewell. Walking up to his front door, and unlocking it then heading inside.

Once Finn got inside he noticed the kitchen light on. He looked to see Eddie standing at the coffee machine. "Y'know, drinking coffee at ten p.m. is bad." He teased.

Eddie chuckled, turning to him, "Jokes on you it's decaf tea bud." Taking his spoon and stirred in some honey.

Finn went towards the cabinet, grabbing the new bag of nacho cheese Doritos. "What time did you get home?" He asked.

Eddie headed to their living room, "About an hour ago, I was worried because you weren't home."

Finn stopped in his tracks, racking his brain and figuring out some sort of lie to come up with. "Oh, sorry, I was hanging out with some friends." He replied, keeping his cool.

Eddie pretended to ponder, knowing exactly who he hung out with. "Let me guess, Liam?"

Finn's face flushed, "Yeah, it was a study group type thing. Sorry I should've texted."

Eddie waved him off, "It's alright Finn, now you know for next time. I'm not mad." Finn was honestly grateful to have a brother, he trusted him, not many guardians would react like that.

That is why lying made it so much harder. But he shook off that feeling, he didn't want to drag Eddie into the supernatural mess.

"I'm gonna head to bed, you should too, you've got school tomorrow." Eddie said, climbing up the stairs as Finn followed close behind.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow. Night Ed." Finn said standing by his bedroom door.

Eddie ruffled his younger brother's hair, "Goodnight Finn." And the two went their separate ways.

Finn finished his snack, got in pj's, brushed his teeth, and went to bed. Falling into a blissful sleep.

He was definitely going to hide in the library during free period. But that was something for tomorrow.
