"3x20: Echo House"

Victoria was watching over Casey at the loft as she had been released from the hospital as Casey sighed. "Have you heard anything from Derek?" She asked as Victoria looked over at Casey silently.

"How long have you been awake Casey?" Victoria asked and Casey sighed.

"Long enough to see the wheels all spinning around inside of your head about most likely... How to get Derek out of lock-up without incriminating yourself or me." Casey said and then Victoria sighed softly. "Let's get to the station, I need to talk to Parrish about everything that's been going on."

"Parrish or Derek?" Victoria asked.

"Both." Casey said and Beatrice walked into the loft, holding up a set of car keys. "About time, Beats."

"You look like shit." Beatrice replied almost cheerfully and then, she was helping Casey up onto her feet and Victoria took Casey's other arm.

When they walked into the Sheriff's Station, they were greeted by cheers and Casey sighed, laughing a little bit at the cheers. "All right, all right, all right! Now everyone, get back to work on what you were doing before. Organize what is left of our lockup, take phone calls. I want to be clear, just because Sheriff Stilinski is out for the day, that does not mean that I won't be enforcing the rules. Let's go." Everyone stopped the cheering and Casey sighed. "Parrish, I need to talk to them." She said and he sighed. "Please." She said.

"Just keep it quick. Our camera systems are down and most of the other deputies in here, are well-aware of your past, with one of the suspects." Jordan said as she nodded.

"As she is ceaselessly reminded by everyone." Victoria remarked as they were all going into the rather clumsily built, new lockup and Casey sighed at the sight. "Well, the two of you really do look comfy in there." Victoria said.

"Love you to, Tori." Derek said as he opened his eyes. "They have all, been singing your praises since you left for the hospital in the back of that wailing ambulance Case." He said.

"Shove off." Casey said as she swiped her key card through the reader and she let herself and the other two into the cell and then the younger two of their trio, they were now both tightly hugging Derek. "We can't do this for too long." She said and leaned against the cell wall.

"Here." Derek moved over to Casey and he rested his hand on her arm, as he lowered his head and he focused a bit. Casey watched as the veins on his arm were going black, and then, they were moving back up toward Derek's neck and the pain was gone. "Better?"

"Thanks Derek." Casey murmured softly as Victoria looked like she was listening to something outside of their conversation at the moment. "Tori, what is it? What's going on?" Casey asked.

"Some of the other deputies." Victoria said and her phone rang out. Victoria glanced at the number and then declined it, as they were getting out of the cell right before the deputies came by, Beatrice had kicked the door shut quickly. "I'll see you guys later, I need to take this call quickly." Victoria said quietly and she was taking the back way out of the station, to get on the path to run to the Argent building.

"My father says that they're moving all of the Katashi evidence to a federal lockup by armored car tonight. Probably within the next few hours." Allison said as Victoria's eyes widened, when she finally was able to realize what Allison Argent of all people, was saying to them.

"We're going to rob an armored car?" Ethan asked and then, Allison and Lydia both look at each other just right before looking back at them.

"I hate it. But, I'm in." Victoria said loudly with a shrug. "It's only 25 to life, right?" She asked rather sarcastically and Scott sighed.

"This is a really bad plan. It's a terrible plan, in fact." Scott said and Victoria growled.

"Unless you have a better one?" Victoria asked.

"Unfortunately, we don't even have enough time to come up with a better one." Scott stated and Victoria looked at her phone.

"I think that our chances just drastically improved." Victoria said and she turned her phone around to show them. "My dad's in on the plan, he can rip open the back of the armored car. He is much stronger than I am and he's a werelion too, so he's stronger than all of you." She said as Scott looked around the room.

"All right. We're actually doing this." Scott said and Victoria nodded, as her tail was lashing back and forth, to and fro. Although whether she was excited or scared of what they were about to do, that was a harder question to figure out the answer to.

Victoria was now lunging at the werewolf Kincaid with a furious roar and she sunk her claws into his back and bit down hard on his shoulder to keep him away from Scott.

Kincaid roared in pain and he was trying to throw Victoria off, but she clung on tightly. Kincaid managed to grab her tail and Victoria let out a screaming roar, as she let go and he threw her into the wall.

Victoria hit her head hard and she was lunging for him again, but he hit her across the face and he stamped on her tail. Victoria cried out and Kincaid roared, as he stiffened and there was a massive shape behind him.

"Kincaid, you better get the fuck away from my kid." Kit snarled and Kincaid was pierced by Kit's claws as Kincaid snarled, but he had no room to argue and he spun around, slashing at Kit, who backed up fast.

Victoria was shuddering and Lydia was helping her and Kira as now, they were both out of the fight and Victoria looked at her tail. "What does it feel like?" Lydia asked gently and Victoria looked at her.

"Like someone's touching what they shouldn't be." Victoria said as Lydia's eyes softened and Victoria watched as between the twins and Kit, they had effectively beaten Kincaid into some form of submission and Victoria was looking at her dad, who was ready to kill him.

After taking the scroll from Kincaid, they had reluctantly let him go on the orders from Scott and Victoria was walking quietly back to the Hale loft in silence. A car pulled up next to her and honked the horn.

Victoria raised her eyebrows and she looked over at the car, as the window was rolled down and it was Brett driving the car, with Beatrice, Lori and Liam.

"Hey Tori, you need a ride?" Beatrice asked as Victoria shrugged a little bit and she was hopping into the backseat, as Liam and Lori moved further over. "As I was saying, if anyone needs help with their science homework, Victoria is an excellent tutor for it." Beatrice said and she was looking over her shoulder at Victoria.

"I'm doing all right." Victoria said immediately at the look on Beatrice's face.

"I mean... I could use a tutor in science." Liam said and Beatrice was looking at him, before, she glanced at Victoria.

"Uh, sure." Victoria said and she looked over at Beatrice with a look that said "are you crazy?" as Beatrice was just shrugging at the silent words from her second-cousin. "Beatrice has my number." She said, as, Brett pulled up to the loft. "Thanks for the ride you guys." She said and she clapped Brett on the shoulder as a thanks.

"No problem." Brett said easily as Beatrice was getting out of the car as well and now, the two of them were walking up to the loft.
