BOOK 4/7
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...
"Is three enough?" Kira questioned as her, Stiles, and I placed our laptops on the table in front of us.
"Depends on how many cameras they have," Stiles responded. "But I think so."
"Are we really doing this?" Liam nervously asked as he gestured to our laptops.
"We're doing it," Scott confidently stated as he looked to each of us. "tonight."
"But isn't it kind of dangerous?" He commented, still holding on to his nervous expression.
"It's incredibly dangerous. And borderline idiotic." Stiles answered.
"Have you guys done something like this before?"
"Something dangerous or something idiotic?" He clarified.

"I think it's yes to both." Kira breathlessly answered.
I took note of the reluctance of Liam's expression. "You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to." Scott assured.
"I'm not scared." Liam firmly stated before he cleared his throat.
"Well, then you're borderline idiotic." Stiles sarcastically grinned with a wink and lightly smacked his hand on Liam's back before turning to face us. "If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?"
"How do we even know something's definitely coming?" I asked, concerned whether or not this would work.
"Because the tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation required." Scott explained.
"Simon said the same thing. He couldn't get paid by The Benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead." Stiles added.
From what Stiles had explained, while we were in the vault Simon, one of our PSAT instructors, had pulled a gun on Stiles and threatened him to tell where we were so he could get 'visual confirmation' of the poison working on our friends but luckily Agent McCall shot Simon to save Stiles' life.
Scott nodded in agreement. "So the idea is, what if you kill someone on the deadpool, but you can't send the proof?"
"You don't get paid." Kira answered and the two boys nod.
"But how does that get us any closer to The Benefactor?" Liam wondered.
"They'll still need to know if the target is really dead," I answer. "So he or she will have to show up themselves."
Stiles nodded. "Especially if it's someone high on the list."
"So if he wants visual confirmation..." Liam trailed off.
"He's going to have to come get it himself." Scott finished for him.
Liam scratched the back of his neck. "Isn't Olivia one of the highest on the list? Why isn't she here? Should we be worried?" I immediately tense at the mention of her name.
