A Hale and The Argent- Allison Argent (3)

5.12.2

Scott peels back his gauze, working on cleaning up the dried blood on his wound in the bathroom, trying to be careful. He's surprised when he sees Stiles appear in his room. "Uh, hey" Stiles greets. He glances at Scott's wound and Scott looks down in shame.

"Still not healing?" Stiles wonders and Scott shakes his head, sighing. 

"Sometimes it just takes a little longer. What are you doing here?" Scott asks, moving to slip his shirt back on.

"Ah, you heard about the guy who got killed out at the communication towers, right?" Scott nods. "I think I may have figured something out" Stiles reveals and Scott raises an eyebrow, confused. 

"What, you want my help?"

"Yeah, well you said you can find the clues that I can't." Stiles points out and Scott smiles as Stiles shows him his phone with the video on it. "Here take a look. This is when the technician first arrived. You see him going in? Then Deputy Clark goes in. Then something really big and really fast comes charging out. And now comes Clark. Eventually, technician's body is carried out by paramedics" Stiles describes as they watch the video.

Scott thinks it over as Stiles looks to him expectantly. "Okay, what am I missing?" Scott questions.

"Two people go in. Three come out. I checked all the footage. Not a single person enters that building before the technician the entire day. So where does that something really big and really fast come from?" Stiles points out and Scott thinks it over.

"There's another way in." Scott realizes.

"You called, I'm here" Madi sighs, meeting up with Scott and Stiles outside of the communication towers.

"Hey, thanks for coming" Scott greets, sending her a smile of appreciation and Stiles nods as well.

"Yeah, well, it was either that or be trapped in the loft. I love her but Allison worries way too much" Madi shakes her head, frowning.

"Well, she's not the only one." Scott brings up but Madi waves him off. 

"All right, quit being a sap" The three head in, looking around for any sign of this monster that everyone's been freaked out about. Stiles was carrying a flashlight, the lights having been destroyed. They find a giant metal cabinet knocked over, covered in blood and claw marks.

"You guys see that?" Stiles asks and they both nod.

"I see blood" Scott shrugs and Madi nods.

"Smell it too" Madi grimaces at the scent.

"Yeah, but look where it leads to" Stiles shines the light over it and Scott moves to check it out. The two watch as he gets down to try and lift the metal cabinet though he seems to struggle with it, barely able to lift it. 

He looks down at his bloody hoodie with a wince as his wound had started bleeding again, out of breath and looking frustrated as he tries and fails to lift it. Madi moves to the other side to help as well, looking over in surprise as Stiles does the same. Scott looks up, him and Stiles making eye contact and Stiles sends him a nod as they all lift the cabinet up, Scott and Madi in pain.

They notice what looks to be a ladder that leads underground where the blood had been leading to. They all head down the ladder and start to wander the tunnels, Stiles turning on his UV light to follow the trail of blood.

Scott and Madi follow, using their senses to track the blood but Stiles pauses as he notices something written. "What is that?" Scott asks and Madi notices it as well as Stiles shines it fully over the message to get the full thing.
