"Oh thank god." My eyes were filled with joy when I saw Theo still in his cell. I barely got any sleep last night because I was too worried that he didn't make it.

Theo's fingers brush through my hair, bringing our faces together as close as we could. "I'm here, don't worry."

Mr.Stilinski and Liam were trailing right behind me, almost in shock when they saw that Theo still here. Liam suggested freeing him so he could help us, but the Sheriff was a little skeptical about him still. Of course I stuck up for him, but I get where he's coming from, Theo did some pretty messed up things in the past that couldn't be forgotten. Now, he was willing to change and I was going to be there for him every step of the way.

"Please, please tell me that you brought the key card," Theo almost pleas the Sheriff for his freedom.

Noah's expression is solid when he says, "I also brought my gun."

"And your sense of humor," I could tell Theo was a little threatened by his claim. "That is great. But if we're the only ones left in Beacon Hills, then we need each other. Which means you need me out of this cell."

"More of us, the better," I add on. "If we want to get everyone back, we need Theo out of this cell."

Noah looks at me for a quick moment, turning back to Theo; he was thinking about it, this was a good sign. "If I let you out and I see any behavior that I find remotely suspicious, I'll put so many bullets in your head, God won't recognize you."

"I'm an atheist," Theo smirks through the bars. "Fire at will."

I wanted to slap him for egging Stilinski on even more, but he seemed to not be fazed by it at all. Noah sighs and takes out his key card, stopping every few moments as he was probably contemplating his decision.

I look at Theo and can see he's getting aggravated for how long this is taking. "You're gonna need to be a bit closer than that, Sheriff. Wave it over the card reader, come on. Right here. Up and down, you can do it."

"Sheriff," Liam whispers to him. "We need him."

After a couple seconds later, Theo makes a move for the key card, but Noah pulls it back just in time. I give him a glare and he seems to geet my message as to calm down.

Noah fiddles with the key card in his hand, thinking of what to say to him. "Tell me something, tell me about my son. Tell me one thing about Stiles that you remember. Just one."

The wind started picking up outside and I knew the Ghost Riders were nearing. This was a total waste of time and we needed Theo out now.

"Swipe that key card and I'll tell you anything you want to know," Theo continues to argue and it's making me more anxious that anyone can pop through that door right now.

"Mr.Stilinski," I nudge him and point out the window where lightning bolts are. "They are coming."

"One thing," he seems to ignore the plea in my voice. "Just one thing!"

Theo still doesn't say anything and I don't know why. Noah turns around and I go for the key card, but my boyfriend finally decides to speak up. "He was smart! Smart enough not to trust me."

Noah swipes the key card and all of us head out into the main officies of the police station. Theo takes my hand in his, signaling not to go too far away from him. I could hear the horses neighing from outside; we didn't have much more time.
