"Did you have any trouble with Ikeda?" Chris Argent asks from the other end of the phone as I stand in the veterinary clinic with Allison, Scott and Deaton.

"Only minor. The white wolf was exactly where you said it would be" Deaton replies "But we have two problems, now. First the lichen is not a cure- it'll wear off in a matter of days"

"But, while it does work, the Oni won't go after Stiles, right?" Chris wonders aloud.

"I hope..." Deaton says vaguely "Eichen House has an unusual history. It might not be all that safe for the Oni there, as well"

"What's the second problem?" Chris questions.

"I checked with your contacts in Japan. The Yakuza boss you saw killed by the Oni never found the scroll" Deaton informs him.

"What scroll?" Scott cuts in.

"A Shugendo scroll. The Shugendo were the ascetic mystics of Japan" Deaton answers.

"The scroll had information on how to exorcise a Nogitsune" Chris adds.

"So, we need to find that scroll?" Scott asks.

"Obviously" I scoff.

"Exactly. And, I did get a name of the man who last purchased it-- Kincaid" Deaton states, ignoring my comment.

"He was with Katashi. He's the guy who met with Isaac to buy the gun" Allison points out.

"Sounds like Katashi wanted the scroll for himself" Deaton realises.

"But Stilinski already told me nothing like it was found among his things... And a paranoid like Katashi would keep it close. Probably on him at all times" Chris explains.

"What does a Shugendo scroll look like?" Allison questions.

"Something like this" Deaton says, holding up a large scroll and handing it to the raven haired girl.

"Do they come in different sizes?" Allison asks curiously.

"Any size" Deaton nods.

"Then I think I know where it might be" Allison declares.

"I could kiss you right now" I counter.

"My father said all of the Katashi evidence is being moved to a federal lockup by armoured car tonight- probably within the next few hours" Allison declares, welcoming Scott and the twins into the apartment.

"We're going to rob an armoured car?" Ethan asks in disbelief.

"Well..." Lydia drawls off from beside me "We're going to try"

"What's the harm in giving it a bash?" I grin.

The three of us sit the boys down and give them a run down of the plan we've come up with, well mostly that Allison came up with while Lydia and I added a few things.
