Safe and sound | Derek Hale Book 4

4. Optimism, Zachary, optimism.

the Hales.

What seemed like hours since the reveal of Emilia and Derek's whereabouts, Oliver and Stiles had finally thought of a plan after running off declaring themselves in charge. It nearing three am, Stiles and Ollie were fully consumed in the investigation whilst Lincoln sent half the pack home to rest, making it safer for everyone to be in groups.

"Okay, we have a plan!" Stiles shouted out to the remaining of the pack sat around in the living room, him and Oliver wheeling in an investigation board, red string covering the board.

Lillian looked up from her drawing in surprise, pushing her legs off Bennett's lap to sit up "Already?

"Are you doubting us, Lillian?" Stiles commented, turning with the board marker in hand, Oliver fiddling with the red string.

"No-" Lillian began, Taliana quickly answering for her "Yes."

Much to the pack's surprise, Stiles had already managed to treat the Hale kids just like he did Derek, only this time he got along with at least one of the Hales.

Lincoln looked up from the only information Stiles and Ollie had left them with, rolling his eyes at the boys "You made a investigation board?"

"We're investigating, grandpa." Oliver replied, motioning for the pack to gather around "As we tried to tell you, we have a plan."

"You can see on the blueprints of the old prison, we have every entry point highlighted." Stiles pointed to the board, different angles of the buildings blueprints pinned up in the middle  "But what we don't know, is what they've done to the place. Like the tunnel Justin and Toby found, I'm assuming they've done something to hold in the werewolves."

"So, we have no idea where they're keeping mom and dad?" Bennett pieced together.

Stiles and Ollie looked to each other before shaking their heads "Not exactly, no."

"We need to be in there to complete the plan." Oliver told the pack, "We have the outline, but not enough information."

"If we storm in there we'll just get ourselves killed." Scott argued with his best friend, Stiles held up the pen, walking back over to the board "Thats not what we're doing."

"We're saving them." Ollie added, Stiles wrote down on the side of the board as he spoke "From the inside. We need to find out staff, passcode's, who's even controlling the whole thing."

"If it is the Cohen's, I'm sure they'll have old allies of my family helping out too." Chris informed them, Stiles nodded writing it down.

"But the most important-" The two humans told them excitedly, settling down at the glares from the pack "We to find out what they're even trying to do, and we stop their plans without them even knowing."

"Is before or after they kill everyone in the stupid werewolf prison set up." Zachary spoke up with a scowl.

"Optimism, Zachary, optimism." Stiles rolled his eyes.

"We can be optimistic when we know our parents aren't dead!" Zachary exclaimed, Isaac stepping in to calm down his glaring younger brother.

"Its like I'm surrounded by Derek, oh my god." Stiles mumbled to himself, running a hand through his hair before looking to the nervous siblings, "Emilia's your alpha, wouldn't you know if she died? One of you would be an alpha right now, and clearly none of you are."
