Bite the Bullet: to endure a painful or otherwise unpleasant situation that is seen as unavoidable
After two months of coping the death of their friends (Erica, Boyd, Aiden, and Olivia), the rest of the pack not only are faced with new thre...
"How come you didn't call me to say that you were back? For two days already!" Allison scolded to her father as the four of us walked to his office. "A heads up would be nice, you know."
"Same reason why you didn't tell me you and your friends took a trip to Mexico." He remarked, placing the duffel bag on top of the metal table. "I didn't need to."
Allison furrowed her eyebrows. "Who told you that?"
He gives her a pointed look. "Did you really think I turned off the tracker on your phone after the Kanima incident?"
Her eyes widen. "How much have you read?" She exclaimed.
"Enough to say that you should keep the personal stuff between you and Olivia in person." He says and gives me a look. "Normally I would be mad, but seeing that you're okay now, I'll excuse it once."
I fiddle with my sleeves out of habit, recalling Allison and I's conversation from last night.
"Anyway," I feel Stiles' worried gaze to me before he looks forward to face Argent. "we need to talk about the murders."
"Sum up what we know so far." He grabs a piece of paper and a marker from the side and slides it over to Stiles.
"The Walcott's were the first from what we know. Sean, his brother, and their parents." He began to write each of their names. "They were killed by a professional assassin called The Mute."
"What was the weapon?" Argent says and Allison hands her phone to him, showing the picture Scott had sent her. "A military tomahawk."
"Right. But then The Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with a Claymore mine." Stiles continued and swiped to the next picture of the mine planted in the middle of a classroom.
"Great." Argent muttered in annoyance as he crossed his arms. "The next victim is Demarco, I know that one already. He was the man who delivered the keg at the lake house, a werewolf from another pack." He says and placed a file on the table that showed a picture of Demarco's corpse. "He was decapitated outside his car."
"Then the one from last night at the school," I say and pull out my phone to show the pictures I had managed to take from my dad's office. "twenty-three year old, Carrie Hudson." The pictures showed the multiple stab wounds with a ring around each one on Carrie's stomach along with bloody handprints.

"Lydia said that all of these murders are from a deadpool for supernatural creatures." Allison says as Stiles pulled out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket that showed a list of names that Lydia decoded. "This is only part of it that she could decode and the only way she was able to do that was with a cipher key...my name." She uncomfortably muttered.
"It broke a third of the list. We think there has to be two other keys to unlock the whole thing." Stiles gestured to the paper that Argent held in his hand as he read the list.
