Derek's P.O.V.

I woke up in the morning feeling like shit. She's been gone for a week now. I knew I shouldn't have let her leave like that. Now she won't even come home. Mr. McCall was asking for her. He had to leave back to San Francisco.

I feel so alone. Empty. Like nothing.

I walked out of my room and into Scott's. He was sitting on his bed with his head in his hands.

"Has she said anything else to you? Besides that night?" he quietly asked. I shook my head and sat next to him.

"Not since. I tried talking to her but she doesn't answer back." I said. He lifted up his head and looked at me.

"You know, I never said thank you." he said.

"For what?" I asked.

" Being there for her. I can tell when she's upset about something. She used to be all the time. But, ever since you and her became friends in the beginning of all this, she's been happy. I've been seeing this sparkle in her eyes whenever you're around. She smiles more often. I like it." he said. I gave him a small smile. " I think you're really good for her. And she's really good for you."

"Well, its kind of hard to believe that I'm good for her when i let her get away." I said, looking down at the floor.

"Hey," he said, getting my attention. "She's gonna come back."

"What makes you so sure?" I ask.

"Because she loves us. Especially you. I know my sister. She always finds her way back." he patted my back and got up. "Come on, we gotta get up. They'll be here so we can start the plan."

"Is three enough?" Kira asked. We were all standing around the table with three laptops on it.

"It depends on how many cameras they have but i think so." Stiles said.

"Are we really doing this?" Liam nervously asked. He hasn't been acting the same after we told him about Tyra's disappearance. He's more distant.

"We're doing it. Tonight." Scott said.

"But isn't it kinda dangerous?" Liam questions.

" Yeah, its incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic." Stiles answered.

"Have you guys done something like this before?" Liam asked.

"Something dangerous or something idiotic?" Stiles asked.

"I think its a mix of both." Kira said.

"You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to." I told him.

"I'm not scared." Liam said.

"Well, you're borderline idiotic." Stiles smirked, putting a hand on Liam's shoulder.

"If we do this, we don't k ow what's coming for us and you know that right?" Stiles said.

"How do we even know something's definitely coming?" Kira asked.

"Because the tape from Garrett's bag said visual conformation was required." Scott says.

"Simon said the same thing. He couldn't get paid by the benefactor unless he had proof that you guys were dead." Stiles said.

"So the idea is...what if you kill someone on the dead pool, but you can't send them proof." Scott says.

"How does this get us any closer ton the benefactor?" Liam asks.

"He still needs to know if the target is really dead." Scott told him.

"Especially if its someone high on the list." Stiles finished.
