"Is three enough?" Kira asks as we crowd around a table with three laptops on it.

"Depends on how many cameras they have but I think so." Stiles answers.

"Are we really doing this?" Liam asks.

"We're doing it. Tonight." Scott tells him.

"Isn't it kind of dangerous?" Liam questions.

"It's incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic." Stiles replies.

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

I raise an eyebrow. "Something dangerous? Or something idiot?"

"I think it's a yes to both." Kira sighs.

"You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to." Scott tells the blonde boy.

"I'm not scared." Liam replies.

"Then you're borderline idiotic." I joke.

Stiles turns to Scott. "If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?"

"How do we even know something's defined coming?" Kira questions.

"The tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation is required." Scott says.

"Simon said the same thing." Stiles adds. "He couldn't get paid by The Benefactor until he had proof you guys were dead."

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

"You don't get paid." I reply.

"How does that get us any closer to The Benefactor?" Liam asks.

"He still needs to know if the target is really dead." Stiles tells him. "Especially if it's sometime high on the list."

"So, if he wants visual confirmation he has to come get it himself." I summarise.

Melissa walks into the room, wiping her fake tears as she looks down at Scott's body.

"I still hate this plan." Melissa states. "This is significantly terrifying, he looks dead."

"Give me your hand." Noshiko orders.

Melissa looks at me with uncertainty but I just nod, giving her a smile of reassurance. She lets Noshiko take her hand and place it over her sons chest where his heart is. After a second or two, Melissa sighs with relief.
