Alone

Theo was really getting tired of Scott McCall calling him whenever they needed him and discarding him like a tool afterwards.

He pulled up the in front of Scott's house, noting that Lydia's, Malia's and Mason's cars were there, along with Stiles' Jeep. Great. The whole squad was here. Just perfect.

But at least Mason's car was here so that meant Liam.

Liam and Mason were the only ones from the McCall pack that never brought up what he did in the past. After the whole thing with the Anuk-ite and the hunters, Theo thinks they came to an understanding. The young beta even actually greeted him and stopped to talk to him whenever they see each other at school.

The others? They took every chance they have to rub salt on the wounds. Especially Stiles and Malia. It's always a jab here, a comment there, and Theo hated it.

Theo got out of his truck and walked up to the front door, taking a moment to make sure his expression is blank before he knocks on the door.

The door opens, revealing Lydia.

"Finally." She said rolling her eyes as she moved aside to let him in.

"What can I say? Fashionably late." Theo said, smirking for the effect. He brushed past her and headed for the living room. "So what's going on?"

Everyone looked up at him. They were all scattered around the small living room. Malia, Scott and Stiles were on the couch. Lydia walked past him and sat on one of the chairs. Corey and Mason were on the love seat and Liam was leaning against the wall. Liam gave him a nod.

Malia turned to glare at Scott. "Really? Him?"

Theo felt a rush of annoyance. She said it as if asking him for help is the worst thing on the planet. Like they haven't been doing it for the last few months for every single thing. Like he didn't drive the puppies of the pack around almost everyday.

"This is a all hands on deck situation. The faster we can finish looking for them the better." Scott explained calmly.

"Looking for who, exactly?" Theo said, crossing his arms and leaning against the door frame.

"Hunters. We got word that at least thirty entered beacon hills. We think it's better to diffuse the situation before it starts."

"So, what? We're trying to talk? And pray they don't shoot us while we do?"

Scott frowned. "You got a better idea?"

"Disarm them." Theo said, incredulous. Did Scott honestly expect talking to those maniacs to work?

"We're not resorting to violence until it's absolutely necessary."

Theo was having a hard time hiding his annoyance. "Disarming isn't really violence. And you can't just expect them to listen to you McCall. They're hunters."

"So is Argent."

"Argent shot you the first time you met him."

"Okay, first of all how do you even know that?" Interjected Stiles.

Theo turned to him with an unimpressed expression.

"We can at least try." Said Scott and Theo was seriously considering just walking out. But if these bunch of idiots failed miserably and the hunters we're on the loose, there's even more danger for himself. And they might die. He could think of at least one person in them he didn't want to perish, and that person was currently staring at him with crystal blue eyes.

"Fine." Theo ground out. "What's the plan?"

"Separate, search beacon hills in teams of two. If we find the hunters, do not engage and call the others. Lydia and Malia will search the dungeon under the old Hale house. Stiles and I will go to the tunnels. Mason and Liam take the old distillery. Corey and Theo Beacon Hills hospital and keep Mr Geyer and Mom safe in case they decide to go for them."
