Stiles' POV

"After entering the IP address, you will be connected through a Darknet portal to an untraceable bank. Once logged in, enter your account number to receive wire transfers. The IP address will deactivate with each transfer. You will be assigned a new IP address if you choose to continue down the list. Remember, visual confirmation is always required for payment." The recorded tape says.

"You ever made a wire transfer?" I ask, looking up at Scott.

"I've never had enough money." Scott says, shaking his head.

"So you didn't understand a word of that either?" I ask.

"I don't understand any of it." Scott says. "Why would someone use the Hale's money just to kill us?"

"Someone who wants you dead, dude. Badly." I say. Scott puts the money back in the bag, and shoves it under his bed. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing?"

"We've got the PSAT's in the morning, Stiles. It's getting pretty late." Scott says.

"No, I meant the money. $500,000. You know how much money that is?" I ask.

"It's $500,000." Scott deadpans.

"It's half a million dollars, Scott." I say. "What are you going to do? Just slide it under your mattress?"

"I have to talk to Derek. The money's his." Scott says.

"And Peter's." I say.

"What does that mean?" Scott asks.

"It means that we should proceed with caution." I say.

"You think that we shouldn't tell Derek?" Scott asks.

"No... no... Of course we have to tel him. I'm just... I'm just saying... some of the money's Peter's, right?" I ask.

"Yeah." Scott says.

"Right? Peter. Homicidal killer? Remember? You want to give $500,000 to him." I say.

"So we should give Derek his money back, but not Peter?" Scott asks.

"I didn't say that." I say.

"What are you saying?" Scott asks. Malia comes up to the room, and opens the door.

"We found Satomi's pack. Derek and I. But they're dead." Malia says.

"All of them?" Scott asks.

"All the ones we found." Malia says.

"So where's Derek?" I ask.

Third Person's POV

Derek rushes into the hospital, carrying a wounded Braeden.

"She's been shot! I think she's dying." Derek says. The nurses rush over to him to help him.

-

As Dr. Deaton locks the door to his clinic and turns around, a hooded figure comes out of nowhere and attacks him. They fight for a minute or so, until Dr. Deaton stops and looks over at the figure.

"You could've called, Satomi-san." Dr. Deaton says, and Satomi pulls back her hood, glowering her eyes.

Luka's POV

"And just where have you been?" I ask, peering up at Stiles as he walks into the house. I cross my arms impatiently, waiting for his response. He jumps when I start talking, and he looks over at me and rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.
