Adele's car pulled into the parking lot of Deaton's clinic right after Scott's motorcycle. Brett had called the woman in a panic and explained how he and his sister were also hunted, only to be saved by Kira.

The woman was home long enough to change her clothes and take a shower, but the gasoline still stung her nose as she exited her car.

"Did you find him? Did you find Brett?" Adele interrupted what seemed to be a moment for Scott and Kira.

"Actually, I think I found all of them." Kira explained, bringing the two werewolves to the back.

"Satomi, this is who I was telling you about." Kira introduced Scott, while Adele sighed in relief at a living Brett Talbot.

"I know he Scott McCall is." Satomi spoke to the Yukimura.

"Are we safe here?" Lori questioned.

"As safe as you we can get." Adele confessed as she and Scott looked at what remained of Satomi's pack.

"We're going to need help, a lot of help." Scott informed the two women.

"I'll call Derek." Adele informed the Alpha, running a hand through her wet hair.

"Someone's here." Brett spoke up, running from behind the plastic wrap.

"Brett! Wait!" Adele's eyes widened when she heard a roar.

"Wait! Wait!" Scott yelled as he reached the beta first.

"Brett! This is his place, it's his." Scott informed the boy, causing him to back down.

"Scott, if you're bringing guests you should have called." Chris approached the Alpha.

"I didn't have anywhere else to take them." Scott defended.

"I know this man." Satomi walked around Adele as she stood a few feet from the men.

"He may not remember, but we've met before." Satomi approached Chris and Scott.

"You can trust him, I trust him." Scott informed the woman.

"How do we know he's not like the others?" Satomi accused.

"What others?" Chris spoke up.

"Last night, there was a whole team of hunters after them." Adele informed.

"They used crossbows." Kira handed the arrow over to the man.

"They're hunters, aren't they?" Scott questioned just to confirm.

"Not if they're killing for profit, not anymore." the man glared.

"Can they find us?" Brett spoke up.

"They might already know you're here." Chris spoke honestly.

"Maybe they're waiting for dark." he added.

"So we're not safe here?" Kira realized.

"We're not safe anywhere." Satomi took the words right out of Adele's mouth.

"We've been trying to get out for days. Everywhere we turn, we find someone new trying to kill us." the woman confessed.

"If there coming, Scott, then they're coming for you too." Argent informed.

"You're still number one on the Dead Pool." he reminded.

"I know. I know Lydia can get the answer from Meredith, she just needs more time." Scott informed.

"Then that's what she'll get." Argent agreed.
