Ouroboros part 2

Scott gave Kira a last long look before he went out to the parking lot to find Stiles hard at work, trying to get his jeep to start. Scott let himself take a look at it to see that it looked in even more bad shape than he remembered. There were dents and scratches spread about the hood and doors and he saw a spot of black soot on the passenger door. He knew that something had flipped over Stiles' jeep, but seeing all this new damage, his nerves couldn't help but get even more tense.

"Stiles," he said, coming over to the door and seeing Stiles impatiently trying to getting the car to start. "We better get to my house."

Stiles moved to give the key another turn but the engine still just coughed without starting. "I'm not going," he said, keeping his eye on the dash.

Scott blinked. "What?" he puffed out.

He then turned the key again, and the engine suddenly roared to life, making Stiles give off a heated sigh before looking over at him. "Malia's dad is watching over Satomi and her pack, helping them heal at their place. I'm heading over there."

"Stiles, we don't have time for that. Corey's at my house. We need him to tell us where he was. That's where Liam and Hayden will be."

"How? Malia told me that she, Lydia and Mason gave him the Dread Doctors' book because he doesn't remember anything."

"Yeah, so we have to be there so we can move when we find them."

"Scott, when we read that book it took a good part of a day before anything started happening. And we don't even know if what he'll remember is where he was."

"Then we help him remember it," said Scott sternly.

"How?" Stiles said back. "We can't magically help someone remember something they don't remember. Besides, even if we do find where they are, to get Liam and Hayden back from the Doctors, we can't do it ourselves. They're too strong for us, Scott. We're going to need more help."

"They couldn't help us before," Scott argued. "They still took Liam and Hayden even when they were there with us."

"Yeah, and they got hurt because they were there. And that's on me."

Stiles didn't spare another word after that, as he put his jeep in drive and then started to drive on out of there, leaving Scott narrowing his eyes after him. Scott didn't understand. Stiles had asked for Satomi and her pack's help. He was why they were there at the school. What happened to all of them was his fault and he had to help them.

Scott stood there, watching the jeep leave the lot and then ran an angry hand through his hair. He had to admit, that Stiles had a point. The book may get Corey to remember where the Dread Doctors had him, but by the time he did, it might be too late. He made a tight in aggravation and he quickly smelled the scent of blood as his nails had dug into his palm. Scott then looked at his bloodied fingernails and a light went on. He then wasted no more time in hopping onto his bike and setting for his house.

The hospital's morgue was getting secured. Police led by Jordan Parrish were moving about as Parrish gave orders and had his fellow deputies cover different parts of the floor. Parrish moved down the halls to make sure that every possible way onto the level and the morgue were covered. He put a man in front of the emergency exits as well as in front of the elevator. He also arranged for a man to be on guard at the hospital's front entrance, garage and the main reception desk. Most of them had shotguns on hand and he set up for check ins to be made every half hour from each officer.

"Parrish, don't you think this is a bit too much?" one of them asked him. "I mean, I know Stilinski made you in charge here but this feels like overkill for a body snatcher."
