I Guess We're Lucky

Rescue

Lydia was anxious. Actually they were all anxious, but she especially felt really nervous. She didn't want to think about why that was or what it meant. The plan was going to work. It had to, Stiles was relying on them to come up with the plan this time.

They had come up with a plan and hoped it wouldn't come down to calling in actual law enforcement, but if it did Jorden was going to stay at the station and wait for a call. The rest of them were going to go to the abandon warehouse on the other side of town. They used the blue prints of it to plan out their positions.

There was a main door at the front, a door by the loading docks, and an emergency side door. Liam was going to guard the front door, Kira was going to guard the side door, and Theo was going to guard the door by the loading docks. He protested at first saying he could help more if he was with them, but Scott and the sheriff quite frankly didn't trust him enough.

Lydia, Malia, Scott and the Sheriff were going to go inside and fan out to search. They had borrowed walkie talkies from the station to help them communicate. They assumed that they would be in the very back, so they would slowly clear the building and make there way to the back.

Once there, the sheriff was going to come out and try to reason with Donovan, if that failed the rest of them would come out then Malia and Lydia would get Stiles while the sheriff and Scott took care of Donovan. He wouldn't be expecting the weres and the banshee, they had the element of surprises.

After forming the plan they had spent the rest of the day at Scott's house resting since none of them had slept the night before. Now it was nearly eight o'clock and they were gathered outside of the warehouse. They looked at the huge building.

"Okay we all know the plan, keep quiet though because he will only be expecting me. Don't crowd the walkie talkie system either", the sheriff said looking around at them.

"We get Stiles away and safe then we go after Donovan", Scott said. "My mom will also be waiting for a call at the hospital, but hopefully he won't be too hurt", Scott said hopefully.

"Okay everyone, let's move out."

Liam, Kira, and Theo took their positions outside, while everyone else headed in. Lydia held the walkie talkie in her hand tight as she took one last look at the others before they disappeared behind the different isles of crates. She still had a weird feeling that was snaking up her spine and coiling around her lungs. It make her breaths come out funny.

Scott proceeded down his isle with his eyes peeled and his hearing tuned. It worried him that he could hear next to nothing besides them walkie parallel to each other with boxed stacked between them. The further he got though, the more the stench of blood grew, mixed with something else but what he couldn't figure out yet.

Malia's senses weren't picking much up either. She hurried down her isle as she began to smell blood. It was Stiles'. It was mixed with something burning and rotten. She froze when she realized it was burnt flesh. She held up her walkie and spoke into it, "Guys, they are at the back. I smell blood and burnt flesh."

"I smell it too", Scott answered.

After hearing that they all began to pick up speed to reach the end of their isles. At the end they all paused to look around the corner. The sheriff's heart skipped a beat when he saw what was in front of him. Stiles was tied to a chair, unconscious. His head was slumped forward onto his bare chest that had a lot of bruising a cuts. His face was also cut in several places with bruises lying underneath them. His hair looked wet with blood near his temple, and there were weird wires taped to his shoulder and stomach.
