Stiles stares back at Theo in horror, Theo knows. He knows everything.

"I know what happened to Donovan" Theo pleads with a faint smug expression. "I know everything."

Stiles races forward and grips Theo by the collars of his shirt and shoves him against a nearby fence. "You don't know anything" Stiles scoffs as he tries to hide his anxiety increasing over this revelation, but he knew Theo could probably sense it.

Theo grabs Stiles and flips them around, shoving him against the fence. "I was there" Theo yells. "I was at the library. Malia found the book. She was texting us to see where you were. She said she left you at the library. I told her I was close. When I got there, I heard the scaffolding come down. Then I saw At running."

"You saw him?" Stiles questions.

"Just the body" Theo answers. Stiles sighs as he lets go of Theo, "I watched you guys come out. I was gonna say something, but then I saw the cop car. And the body was gone. I don't know who took him. I only saw what you guys saw, and I didn't say anything because you guys didn't."

The pair both hear sirens blasting in the distance. "That's not an ambulance, is it?" Theo guesses after looking at Stiles' expression. Stiles shakes his head in response. "We should get out of here."

"We can't just leave him" Stiles argues as he looks across at Josh's body.

"Fine. All right, let's take him" Theo shrugs. "Someone's stealing the bodies anyway, right? Here's our chance to find out who." Stiles doesn't answer which causes Theo to get impatient, "Stiles, come on. We gotta do something."

"You killed him."

"In self-defense. He was going to kill you and me. If we stay, we're either going to have to tell the truth, or we're going to need a pretty convincing story." Stiles sighs, "It's your choice. I'm not going to ask you to lie to your dad."

"Don't worry. I've had plenty of practice."

Atlas knew it wasn't right from the beginning, he shouldn't have been doing it. Getting high at the club was a bad idea, especially when you are suffering from hallucinations because of that damn book.

He feels like he has disappointed everyone. He couldn't help Anna find her sister, he was losing his own mind so he couldn't help Scott and Stiles. He also felt like he was disappointing his mother, that was the biggest stab to the heart of all.

Atlas knows it should not feel like this. His whole world was spinning and he couldn't think of one simple thought. He has never experienced a high like this, when he looks around at Will and Jordan they look perfectly fine.

Atlas is lost. Had he taken more than them? Had they just sobered up quicker? No that could not be possible, he was the werewolf at the end of the day.

Atlas pushes through the crowds as he makes his way towards the exit. He cannot stay any longer, his anxiety is not going down, it is getting worse.
