Nefarious » Theo Raeken

I heard the sound of something crashing against the metal table.

"Guys?" I wondered aloud.

"How did you find us?" I heard Scott question.

"Because you work here. I heard about Tracy. I've been looking for you" the person replied.

Theo.

I heard Stiles grunt and try to protest so I presumed Theo was helping him up.

"We lost her" Scott said.

"And Malia" Stiles added.

"I can help" Theo said. From the corner of my eye, I saw him reach down to help Deaton up.

I started to try and push myself up but I felt someone steady my waist.

Theo hauled me up and I fell against the metal table.

"This is Theo?" Deaton questioned.

"Unfortunately so" I mumbled.

"Let me help. It doesn't have to mean I'm part of the pack. Like you've accepted me or anything like that. It just means I can help catch this girl" Theo said.

We all exchanged looks, waiting for one another to speak up.

"Scott" Theo continued. "I can help you"

Nobody spoke.

"Well?" I prompted. "We're not doing much good just standing here are we, come on"

I stepped away from the table but immediately regretted that when I realised that my legs weren't fully working again yet.

Thankfully, I didn't crash to the floor (that would have been embarrassing)

I looked up to see Theo had caught me and was holding me up.

I exchanged a small reluctant smile with him and then leant back against the table, steadying myself again.

"Okay, correction-" I took a deep breath. "We're not going to do much good standing here in silence. So let's make a plan and then go as soon as our limbs are all working perfectly. Sound good?"
