Third Person POV:

At Beacon Hills' Animal Clinic, Deaton gets a visit from an old friend. Though their interaction doesn't start in the most typical way...

"After entering the IP address, you will be connected through a Darknet portal to an untraceable bank. Once logged in, enter your account number to receive wire transfers. The IP address will deactivate with each transfer. You will be assigned a new IP address if you choose to continue down the list. Remember, visual confirmation is always required for payment."

Stiles shuts off the tape. He and Scott are on Scott's bedroom floor with the wads of cash laid out in front of them- the bounty Garrett and Violet had collected.

"You ever made a wire transfer?" Stiles wonders.

"Never had enough money," Scott shakes his head.

"Ok, so you didn't understand a word of that either?"

"I don't understand any of this," Scott ponders. "Why would someone use all this money just to kill us?"

"Someone wants you dead, dude. Badly," Stiles states. Scott sighs and begins to put the money back in the duffel. "Woah, woah, what are you doing?"

"It's late. We've got PSATs in the morning," Scott reminds him.

"No, I meant the money," Stiles points at is. "$500,000. You know how much money that is?"

"It's 500,000-"

"It's half a million dollars, Scott!" Stiles exclaims. "What are you doing to do, just slide it under your mattress?"

"I have to talk to Derek and Hana. The money's his," Scott tells him.

"You mean his and Peter's," Stiles points out.

"What does that mean?"

"It means maybe we should proceed with caution," Stiles warns.

Scott's brows raise in surprise. "You don't think we should tell Derek? Or at least Hana?"
