What's left of me ( Isaac Lahey fanfic)

61. Smoke and Mirrors

After talking to Deaton and Lydia, Stiles and I were trying to convince Dad to let us go to Mexico to save our friends, but Dad was vehemently against the idea and wanted to go through all the proper channels, including law enforcement and border patrol.

"I can keep you both from going." 

Dad challenged us. "We'd find a way." I said getting annoyed as god knew what Scott and Kira were going through while we were having this pointless conversation.

"I can throw you guys in a cell."

Dad said and then Stiles looked at me and said, 

"Dad, we'd still find a way." 

Dad knew that there was no winning with us so he asked us to at least get some slightly more concrete information than a psychic vision from some guy with a third eye. He assured us that he would call every law enforcement agency all the way down to South America if he had to and if still nothing turned up, he would book three flights to Mexico and go with us. Stiles agreed and asked if he got to carry a gun like me and Dad, but we both quickly shook our head and Stiles sulked. When Dad went away, I asked Stiles if we were really gonna wait and he gave his classic smirk, I smiled and we left.

After that Stiles called Malia and the three of us went to Scott's place so that Malia could catch his scent through his clothes. As we went through Scott's wardrobe Malia told us that the only thing she could smell was fabric softener so we started to look for more clothes. Stiles then found Scott's boxers from under his bed and held them up so that Malia could smell them. Malia and I both gave him disgusted looks and then I grabbed his pillowcase and gave it to her. Then as we headed downstairs we found Liam in the kitchen waiting for us.

"You can lock me up, right? Chain me down in the back seat or something." 

He asked, hoping we would take him with us. "You tore through the last chains, remember?" I asked hoping he would understand why are we against taking him with us.

"Yeah. We would have to freeze you in carbonite to get you down there." 

Stiles said sarcastically, but Liam didn't understand the Star Wars pun and asked where could we find carbonite. Stiles rolled his eyes and started to leave, I felt really bad for Liam as he just wanted to help us, but it would be too risky for us to take him with us. Liam protested as Malia and I started following Stiles, he wanted to ride along in the trunk of the car. "I know you mean well, kid, but you can't exactly be useful if you're locked in a car because you can't control yourself." I tried to explain to him but he kept arguing and after some time Stiles got annoyed and agreed to take him with us as we couldn't afford to waste more time in silly arguments.

We met Derek, Brenden and Peter at a garage where she had used her US Marshal status and had procured a prison transport vehicle to keep Liam locked up. Derek wasn't keen on bringing Liam with us but the rest of us wasn't keen on bringing Peter with us. 

"We're bringing everyone that we can. And considering Scott and Kira were taken the night before a full moon, we should probably get going." 

Peter said and then explained that Kate may intend to do the same thing to Scott that she did to Derek. She may want to age him back to before he became a werewolf. A werewolf can't steal a True Alpha's power but maybe because Kate is a werejaguar and hanging out in a mystical creep dungeon, she might have more luck.

"So, if everyone is sufficiently freaked out, I say we get going." 

Peter said and started to move towards his car but Stiles stopped him saying Lydia wasn't there. When Derek asked where she was, Malia explained to him that Lydia was in school getting Kira's jacket because her sword didn't carry a strong enough scent. As we called Lydia she wasn't answering her phone and Brenden pointed out that Lydia could catch up to us if she's driving.
