A/N: A little shorter than usual, but still kinda sweet I guess? Let me know what you think!

Scott had decreted the rule that Diana was not to be left unsupervised for a second of the day and, as much as Diana suddenly felt really babied by the whole pack, she didn't mind it. Especially considering she hadn't wanted to be left alone with her own thoughts ever since she had returned from wherever she had been with the Nogtisune. At the moment, it was Allison's turn to keep an eye on her, but, considering they were all in a race against the clock to find Stiles - or Void Stiles - again ever since he broke free from Eichen House the night before, being with Allison meant picking out any type of weapon that she had in her house as they waited for sheriff Stilinski, Derek and Mr. Argent to arrive so they could try and look for Stiles while the rest of the pack did whatever else they could to try and find any leads on Stiles' location.

As soon as the three men arrived, Allison was quick to open the door for them as she guided them toward Mr. Argent's office where Diana was waiting for them beside the table covered in weapons in the middle of the room.

"This is everything non-lethal we could find..." Allison said, as Mr. Argent took one look at it before nodding.

"Take all of it." He said.

"What's the plan, here?" The sheriff asked, as he watched the way Allison offered one of her most potent teasers to Diana.

"Our best shot right now is for Derek to try to pick up Stiles' scent at Eichen House." Mr. Agent said. "Especially if he went through something stressful there."

"Should all five of us be going to the same place?" The sheriff asked.

"Where else has Stiles been showing up?" Mr. Argent asked.

"School, the hospital..." Diana listed, only to be interrupted by Derek as he shook his head.

"Okay, hold on." He said. "We did this already. He disappeared, we started looking for him... Then walked right into a trap at the hospital."

"He's getting us to repeat the same moves." Mr. Argent said.

"So, what do we do?" Allison asked. "Wait for him to come to us?"

"We can't." Derek shook his head. "Not if the Oni find him when the sun goes down."

"Scott's working on that right now with Kira." Diana said.

"That's the problem..." Mr. Argent said. "We're all trying to outfox the Fox."

At his words, the room fell silent, all of them highly aware that that was, in fact, what was happening, but unable to do anything else, considering they had absolutely no other option if they wanted to have even the slightest chance of finding Stiles.

"Listen..." Sheriff Stilinski sighed, causing everyone to turn around and look at him. "I'll understand if anyone wants to back out."

"I won't be the first Wolf to run from a Fox." Derek practically scoffed, as Mr. Argent shrugged his shoulders as well.

"Apparently, I'm carrying a lightsaber..." Mr. Argent half-joked, referring to an incident back in the station with poor deputy Parrish.

"I'm in." Allison said, her words short, but extremely affected. "Dia?"

"Stiles told me once he'd never leave me behind." Diana whispered, not really trusting her voice at the moment, but needing to say her thoughts out loud anyway. "I'm not about to do that to him either."

"Great." Allison nodded, smiling, almost proudly at her best friend. "Dad, you, me and Derek are gonna hit Eichen House. Sheriff, it's you and Diana in the hospital. Scott's already at school, so we all meet there."
