A Werewolf and a Human [2] Stiles Stilinski

Chapter 30: I.E.D.

When they had detected the scent of blood, they all ran off and found the headless body. Scott quickly told Malia to take Liam back to the house and find Kira and Lydia. Stiles quickly recognized the body belonging to Demarco Montana. Argent was with them and looked down at the body and found signs of claws at the fingertips. He told Scott and Sabrina that this man was a werewolf and someone had decapitated him with a thermal wire. Stiles quickly brought out his phone and called his father.

Stiles quickly organized everything that they had learned from their separate finds of the night, including Lydia's. He brought out a new board, well it was an old one that the station was throwing out, and set it up in his room. He then took all of the information and things they knew and connected them all with red string. Once he organized all the facts, he then told Scott and Sabrina, before they went off to meet with his dad and tell him.

"Okay, so the Walcotts were the first. At least the first that we know about. Four murders: Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called the Mute. His weapon of choice, a military tomahawk. But then The Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with a Claymore mine."

Stiles let his eyes linger on his dad for a moment after that one. "Next was Demarco. He delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's lake house. And got decapitated outside his car. And then last night, twenty-three year old Carrie Hudson."

"What's going on?" the Sheriff asked them as he looked at all the photos of the people who were now dead. "What is all of this?"

"It's a Deadpool," Scott told him. "A hitlist of supernatural creatures." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a sheet of paper and handed it to Noah. "This is only part of it. The rest still has to be decoded."

The Sheriff scanned the names and quickly recognized Scott's, Sabrina's, Lydia's and Derek's names on it. "Who found this list?"

"Lydia," Sabrina told him. "How?" "She wrote it. Well, actually she transcribed it without even realizing it," Stiles said pointedly. Stiles' dad understood. The same thing that drew her to the Walcott house and had her find the bodies there. "Banshee." "Banshee," Sabrina nodded.

"Beautiful," he grunted out. As he looked down the list, he noticed something else. "Uh, what are these numbers next to the names?"

"Yeah, we're getting to that," Stiles quickly cut in. "But first, you have to know that the code was broken with a Cipher Key." "Wait, you mean like a keyword?" "It's actually a name." Sabrina pointed out.

"Allison," Scott muttered out.

At that, Stiles and Sabrina moved their eyes to stare down at the desk, the paper, anything but Scott right now. They heard the sadness in his voice as he said her name and they couldn't help but feel a fresh wave of guilt and then anger. The Sheriff stared long and hard at the three teenagers as they silently stood there for a moment.

Stiles went and scratched at his nose before he decided to move this along. "Her name broke a third of the list." Scott straightened himself up. "And, we think there's two other Cipher Keys." "Which will give us the rest of the names," The Sheriff said, following along. "Okay, so how do we get the Cipher Keys?"

"The same way we got the code," Stiles told him before looking over at Sabrina. "Lydia. She's been out at the lake house all weekend trying to find the other two keywords."

"You didn't know about Demarco or Carrie?" Scott and Sabrina shook their heads. "And what about these other two names on the list. Kayleen Bettcher and Elias Town. They werewolves too?" 

"We don't know." Scott shrugged. Sabrina shook her head. "We've never even heard of them before we got this list. Same with Carrie." "Deaton had told us that the Nemeton would draw supernatural creatures here."
