-Beacon Hills Memorial Hospital-

Sheriff Stilinski, Deputy Clark, and Deputy Parrish gather the rest of the deputies in the hospital. They all take their positions and wait for the body snatcher. Parrish is assigned to stand guard in front of the cooler. Deputy Clark guards the front entrance to the morgue. 

-A Few Hours Later-

"Clark, you want to check and see if something is going on with the air conditioner down there? I'm pretty sure a morgue is supposed to be a lot cooler than this..." Stilinski asked. He noticed the sprinkler in the ceiling was about to explode.

"Watch out!" Stilinski pulled Deputy Clark out of the way just as a stream of super-hot steam sprayed out of all the sprinklers. The hallway was full of thick steam. It was hard to see anything in front of you.

"Get back! Everybody, back! Get back! Clark? Parrish? Clark?" Stilinski called out.

A blackened figure begins taking out the deputies one by one as the steam continues to fill the hallway.

-Abandoned House-

Zach heard the footsteps of the Dread Doctors. "They're coming." Suddenly his nose began to drip silver liquid. "Oh, God!" 

The Pathologist walked in and grabbed Zach. "No, no, no, no! No! No!" Zach kicked and screamed.

"Leave him alone!" Liam tried to get up to help Zach but couldn't. It was as if some force was holding him down.

"Help me! No! Wait! No! Help me!" 

-McCall's House-

Corey, Lydia, and Theo are at Scott's. Corey's neck has healed. "It healed, didn't it?" he asked Lydia.

"Yeah... Completely."

"Okay, then. It's been fun. Especially the part where a Werewolf forced his way into my brain with his claws." Corey said, walking towards the door.

"I don't think leaving is such a good idea, Corey..." Theo said. "You know, Lydia's a Banshee. It means she can tell when someone's close to death. Lydia, what happens if he walks out that door?" 

"...It's bad... Very bad." Lydia lied.

Corey scoffed, "I'll take my chances." Corey opened the door. He was stopped by Leia's parents, brother, and daughters. 

"You walk out this door and you'll meet death," Laurie said. Devana snarled at the end. 

Corey backed up as they all walked in. "Um... Corey... What– What else did you see? There had to be something else?" Theo asked looking at the Moon family.

"There was the hospital, and... they took me outta my room..."

"And then where?" Lydia asked.

"The tunnels... Like I already told you. That's it." 

Devana snapped her jaws, her fangs showing. "Don't give lip. Answer their questions."

"...There was a basement." 

"Where? Like, in a building?" Lydia asked.

"A house. It was old, covered in dust, and... There was a broken stone wall with a large hole in it like a bomb went off." Corey described.

"Lydia, the Werewolf with the talons, the one who attacked Scott? Didn't Parrish say that he smashed through the wall of a basement? Wasn't it something like that?" Theo questioned.

"No... It was exactly like that." Lydia said, wide-eyed.

-Water Treatment Plant-

Scott, Mason, and Malia are running in circles. "I'm telling you guys, we've been down this one before," Mason said.

Scott begins to have an asthma attack. "What the hell are we doing? We're running up and down this place... Up and down tunnels... And there's no way... There's no way that we're gonna find..."

"Scott, you need your inhaler. Scott! Use it! Use your inhaler." Malia said.

"This is all my fault

"This is all my fault. We're never going to find them. It's my fault. I have to tell my kids that they'll never see their mother again. They'll hate me."

"Scott... We should keep looking. We will find them. Besides, Liam won't let anything happen to Leia. I know that for a fact." Mason said, offering his hand.

They continue down the tunnel in search of Liam, Hayden, and Leia.
