Repeating Steps (A Liam Dunbar fanfiction)

09

I was at Scott's house dad have told me that for today I needed to stay there, so without complaining I stayed. 

Stiles, Scott and I were sitted on the floor of Scott's room, we had a backpack with money in front of us. We were all watching it as if it was the most valuable dimond in the world. 

"You counted it yet?" I asked breaking the silence. 

"No" Scott answered. 

"We should probably count it" Stiles said. We all looked at each other a little suspicious. Scott and Stiles took the backpack and they turned it over to drop the money. A lot of bills fell to the floor, there was a lot of money and with all of it a little cassete, Scott took it and the three of us stared at it. Scott turned it and he then looked at us witha shocked face. 

"What?" I asked. 

"I think we need to play it" Scott said. He put the cassete on the tape recorder and a voice started to talk. 

After entering the IP address, you will be connected through a Darknet portal to an untraceable bank. Once logged in, enter your account number to receive wire transfers. The IP address will deactivate with each transfer. You will be assigned a new IP address if you choose to continue down the list. Remember, visual confirmation is always required for payment. 

Stiles stopped the tape. "You ever made a wire transfer?" He asked. 

"Never had enough money" Scott answered, 

"So you didn't understand a word of that either?" 

"I think we don't understand any of this" I talked. 

"I agree, I mean, why would someone use all this money just to kill us?" Scott said. 

"Someone wants you dead, dude" Stiles said, 

"Badly" I added, 

Scott just moved his head. He started to put all the money back to the backpack but Stiles stopped him. 

"Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?" He asked. 

"It's late and we've got the PSATs in the morning" Scott said. 

"No, I mean with the money" "$500,000" "You know how much money that is?" 

"I think we're fully aware Stiles, but thank you anyways"  I said with sarcasm. 

He rolled his eyes and said "It's half a million dollars, Scott" "What are you going to do, just slide it under your mattress?" 

"I have to talk to Derek" "The money's his" 

"You mean his and Peter's" 

"What does that mean?" I asked not catching it. 

"It means maybe we should proceed with caution" 

"You don't think we should tell Derek?" Scott asked. 

"No" "No" Stiles stood up and turned to see the window thoughtful. "No, of course we have to tell him. I'm just..." "I'm just saying, some of that money's Peter's, right?" He turned to see us again. 

"Yeah" Scott said. 

"Right? Peter" Stiles said like if he's trying to tell something. 

"So?" I asked

"He's a homocidal killer? Remember? You want to give $500,000 to him" 

"So we should give Derek his money back" Scott said. 

"But not Peter?" I finished. 

"I didn't said that" 

"Then what are you saying Stiles,  because I don't understand and something tells me I'm not the only one"
