We walked up into Scott's room and into his bathroom, where he pulled back the curtain, showing a duct-taped Liam lying in the bathtub.

"Scott..." I sighed, putting my head in my hand.

The three of us walked back out into his room.

"So, you bit him?" Stiles said.

"Yeah..." he answered.

"And you kidnapped him?"

"Yeah..."

"And brought him here?"

"I panicked!"

    Stiles nodded. "Yup. This isn't going to end with us burying the pieces of his body out in the desert, is it?"

From beyond the door, we heard Liam cry out in fear.

"As a reminder, this is why I always come up with the plans! Your plans suck!" Stiles said.

"I know—which is why I texted Parker, I knew you two would come. So, what do we do?" he said.

"Tell me what?" Liam asked.

Scott looked at the younger boy. "Liam...what happened to you...what I did to you...which I had to do to save you? It's going to change you..."

"Unless it kills you." Stiles said, catching my angry glare. "...shouldn't have said that."

"What?" Liam asked, whimpering softly.

"Uh...uh-oh. Oh-oh...is he...is he crying?" Stiles asked.

"Liam, it's okay. You're going to be all right." Scott said. "You're not going to die."

"Probably not..." Stiles corrected.

"Stop it!" Scott said to him.

Stiles sighed. "Okay, possibly not..."
