The Jeep came to an abrupt stop as the tyres squealed against the road, Sage followed behind Stiles as he leapt out, and the two quickly hurried over to where Lydia was attempting to wake up an unconscious Scott.

"I just found him like this," She told them.

Stiles crouched down, shaking him. "Scott, wake up!"

The alpha shot up, eyes wide in worry and panic as he looked around. "Barrow, he took Kira!"

"We know," Stiles told him, seeing the concern his best friend had for the missing girl. "He was after her the whole time."

"We have to think of something." Scott pointed out, "He's going to kill her."

Sage wanted to ask the question that was on everyone's minds. Barrow killed kids with glowing eyes so there was only one possibility as to why he would take Kira, but the girl wasn't a werewolf, nor a vampire. So if Kira was a kid with glowing eyes, what was she?

"I knew he was there." Lydia breathed out, the strawberry blonde looked distressed. "How did I know that?"

Stiles furrowed his brows. "Because you heard the flies, right?"

"What do you hear now?" The alpha asked her softly, seeing how much this was affecting her.

Lydia looked frustrated. "Nothing. I feel like I can do this. But I don't know what to do. It's like it's on the tip of my tongue, and I don't know how to trigger it." She explained. "I swear to God, it literally makes me want to scream."

Sage furrowed her brows at the banshee, "Then scream, Lydia scream."

Lydia looked at her guardian, she knew to trust her judgment. She inhaled sharply before letting out a powerful scream that caused both Scott and Sage to immediately shield their ears while Stiles winced. Lydia had a clear head now, she tilted her head as she looked up at the lamp post— she knew what the buzz was.

"It's not flies." She revealed, "It's electricity."

Stiles' eyes widened in realisation. "Wait a second, Barrow was an electrical engineer. He worked at a power substation."

Scott looked at him. "What substation?"

~*~*~*~

Stiles' jeep and Scott's bike pulled up to the substation at the same time. Scott hopped off his bike and ran off as Stiles and Sage hopped out of the jeep.

"Okay. Wait here, alright?" Stiles looked at Lydia who was in the backseat of his jeep, "Just wait for the cops to come."

Lydia blanched, staring at him with slight panic. "Me? Wait, why?"
