STILES AND SCOTT WHERE IN THE SHERIFF'S STATION GOING OVER WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED SO FAR ABOUT THE MURDERS IN BEACON HILLS. "So, the Walcott's were first. At least the first that we know about. Four murders. Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called The Mute. Weapon of choice, a military tomahawk, but then The Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with Claymore mine." Stiles explained.

"Next was Demarco, he delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's lake house. And got decapitated outside his car. And then last night, 23 year old Carrie Hudson." Stiles finished saying.

"It's a Deadpool, a hit list of supernatural creatures. This is only part of it, the rest still has to be decoded." Scott said, putting the list down on the Sheriff desk.

"Who found this list?" Noah questioned, looking at the names.

"Lydia,"Stiles said quickly.

"How?"

"She wrote it, actually she transcribed it without realizing it."

"Banshee?"

"Banshee," Stiles confirmed for his father.

"Beautiful, alright but what are these numbers next to the names?" Noah asked. "We're getting to that, first you need to know that the code was broken with a cipher key." Stiles reassured his father.

"Wait, you mean like a.... Like a keyword?" the eldest Stilinski asked. "It's actually a name." Noah's son told him.

"Erica" Scott muttered and there was a moment of silence for the young fallen girl. "Her name broke a third of the list."

"And now we think there's two other cipher keys." Scott said.

"Which will give us the rest of the names." Noah half asked, seeing if he was correct.

The boys nodded, "Okay, so how do we get the cipher keys?" Noah asked.

"The same way we got the code."

"Lydia, she's been at the lake house all weekend trying to find the other two key words." Scott explained to the older man.

"You didn't know about Demarco or Carrie, hmmm? And what about these other three names on the list? Kayleen Bettcher, Elias Town and Isabella 'Zella' Black."

Taking a brief pause to reread the name he just read Noah looked back up to the two boys in front of him.

"The last name says Zella. Are you telling me that Zella, the Zella who died almost a month ago, is on this list?" Noah questioned, finding this observation very confusing.

"That's what we're thinking, I mean we don't know a lot of people named Zella. It's a very unique name, the only thing we don't know is why Zella is quoted in between the name Isabella Black." Stiles said, questioning everything like his father.

"Actually I think I've seen this name before on a form I can't remember which one to be exact though." Noah said, remembering when he filled away some papers the other day.

"We'll have to come back to that when we're finished with what we have going on right now." Scott said.

"Alright, so the other two, are they werewolves too?"

"I don't know, but Deaton said that the nemeton would draw supernatural creatures here." Scott explained.

"Here being Beacon Hills or Beacon County? The population of Beacon Hills is just under 30,000."

"And dropping," Stiles added.

Noah gave his son a 'seriously' looking face then continued on, "But if we're talking Beacon County then you're looking at close to 500,000." Sitting down in his chair Noah started asking, "Look, how many werewolves, banshees, kitsunes whatever the hell Zella was, is out there, what are we talking about?"

Spitting out questions Noah continued asking, "And what happens if the next cipher key uncovers not 13 names but 100?"

"We don't think there would be that many, there's a limit." Stiles explained.

"Because of the numbers, we think that once we decode the names, the numbers will add up to 117. Except for Zella's cause, looking at her it looks like it would put the cost overboard so whoever's after her is willing to pay extra money." Scott told the Sheriff.

"117 what?"

"Million," Scott said. Then Stiles started writing K's and M's beside the names on the list. "117 million dollars dad, stolen from the Hale vault and is being used by someone to finance all these murders."

"Some who wants every supernatural in Beacon Hills dead."

"So the coded list goes out, and somehow these professional assassins get that list–." "And the cipher key." Stiles added.

"And they go after the names on the list, they being killers with no mouths, tomahawks, thermo–cut wires that can take your head off." Noah trailed off saying.

Looking at the pictures again Stiles saw something, "Let me see, Carrie was also stabbed. What is this mark?" Stiles said, pointing to her neck area in the photo.

"We're not sure yet. We're waiting on the ME's report. There's one thing that I don't get, how did this new assassin know that Demarco was going to be at the lake house?" Noah questioned.

"Everyone knows he delivers kegs to teenagers for a little extra cash." Scott explained.

"Ah, so whoever ordered that keg killed Demarco." Noah said, putting the pieces together.

"Yeah, it was someone at the party." Stiles said. "A student," Scott clarified.

In her house, Isabella was just watching tv. She had some flashes of the unknown man but never got his full face; she mostly got his green eyes, stubble and black leather jacket that he seemed to always wear.

When all of a sudden she didn't feel alone, she felt like someone else was in her house, so she silently got up without turning off the tv so it wouldn't alert whoever was in the house, that she knew they were there and walked to her kitchen.

Materializing a dagger in her hand she turned around and faced her fridge while acting like she was looking for something.

That's when the unknown assailant decided to strike.

With her fast reflex she caught their forearm as they were about to literally stab her in the back. Feeling sarcastic today Isabella said, "You know I never liked back stabbers but you're taking the meaning to a whole different level."

Then she jabbed the assailant in the gut causing them to tumble back.

Wasting no time Isabella brought her right leg out and kicked the assailant in the chest causing them to fall back on the floor. Catching her by surprise they threw a pocket knife at her and it embedded in her left shoulder.

Now that had personally harmed her, Isabella was made and a switch flickered in her brain, she went void of all emotion the one thing she was set on doing right now was killing the person in front of her.

Seeing the assailant trying to get up and run away, Isabella tackled them and used the dagger in her hand to stab them in the chest. Though it didn't hit the heart it did make the unknown assailant start bleeding profusely.

Looking at the assailant she could see any facial features since they were wearing a mask and goggles, so Isabella decided to remove it so they could get a good look at her one last time.

"I would say better luck next time, but there isn't going to be a next time for you." then Isabella slit their throat and blood sprayed everywhere getting on her face and some on the wall.

But she didn't care, nobody was going to come into her home and try to kill her without her fighting back.

As the unknown person was now dead, Isabella took a good look at them herself but she didn't recognize them, it was a man she'd say late thirties, brunette hair and when his eyes were open they were brown.

Not really caring more about the man, Isabella started to clean up the place. Grabbing a tarp from her garage she rolled the man up in it and moved him back towards the garage then went back inside of her house and started cleaning her floors and walls, basically anywhere else she saw blood she cleaned it till it was spot–less.

Now walking back to her garage Isabella loaded the man up into her truck and drove about a good 30 minutes till she reached a lake just outside of Beacon hills and dumped the body, making sure she had weights to hold it down for a long while.

Isabella then walked back to her truck and drove away, leaving everything that just happened behind with the body of the unknown man.

After Liam got the news that he was going to be playing his old school in the Lacrosse game, he went back to the locker. Setting his stuff down he noticed that his lacrosse stick was missing. "What the hell?" he muttered looking around the room.

"Where's my stick?" He then heard a door open and heard something trailing along the gates of the locker room cubbies.

Appearing around the corner, Derek Hale was holding a lacrosse stick in his hands.

As they were facing each other now, Derek asked "Is this yours?"

Looking at the stick then back up to the man's eyes, Liam saw him snap the lacrosse stick in half and then proceed to throw it on the ground in front of him.

Liam was already angry before about having to play his old school in a lacrosse game, but now he was even more pissed.

Looking down at the stick he then looked back up to the male with yellow glowing eyes and lowly growled at him.

Derek, seeing the boy flash his eyes at him, tilted his head to the side, and got ready for the kid to run at him.

As if on cue, Liam did try to run at Derek but got pinned up to the lockers. Liam struggled in the man's grip but ultimately wasn't going anywhere.

Entering the locker room, Scott called out to his beta "Liam, liam."

Hearing this Liam calmed down and stopped wolfing out.

Still pinning him to the lockers, Derek stated "You're right, he is angry." then let him go.

Trying to reign in his anger Liam looked back up at Scott, to see him holding his actual lacrosse stick unbroken in its same condition.

"This one's yours," Scott said, tossing it to the young beta.

Liam then turned around to angrily glare at Derek.

The school bell then rang and Scott told Liam to get to class, and he listened and started walking to class.

Turning back around to look at Derek, Scott saw him smiling.

"What are you smiling about?" he questioned.

"You're gonna be good at this, even Zella said so herself." Derek said, looking at the young boy.

"Are you kidding, I'm totally unprepared. Remember how you said you could teach me a few things? I think, right now I could use a full–on training manual." Scott said, as he was baffled himself.

"I'll tell you one thing, that anger he's got? It'll make him strong."

"And dangerous," Scott added to Derek's statement.

"Very," Derek said, nodding his head.

Sitting down on the bench, Scott then looked back up to Derek and asked "How are you doing on the whole Zella thing?"

Thinking about it for a minute Derek responded with "I'm taking it day by day."

"And the fact that she's on the Deadpool?" Scott asked.

"I'm still trying to process it, and I'm also trying to figure out how it's possible." Derek said.

"This was supposed to be the semester I could focus on school again, but Kate's back and I've got a beta and there's a dead pool." Scott listed.

Sitting down beside him, Derek said "If all our names are on that list, then that's what we should be focused on.

"Do you think Lydia can get that second key?" Derek asked.

"She's working on it." Scott answered.

After Scott and Derek finished talking, Scott went back to class and Derek went wherever he goes.
