"You told me not to cry when you were gone. But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong."

- Lay me down, Sam Smith








The huge metal door to Derek's loft screeched loudly while being opened, inside walked Isaac, Boyd and Josie. All of them looking around for Derek.

"Go back to school." Ordered the grumpy Alpha while walking down the stairs.

"Well, actually, we can't." Isaac spoke up with a smug smirk on his face. "Boyd and I are incredibly and unbelievably sick."

"With what? Brain damage?" Josie chuckled at Derek's comment.

"Well, I have a migraine and, uh, Boyd here has ... explosive diarrhea." The witch couldn't help but giggle at Isaac's lame excuse while Boys sighed in annoyance.

"And you?" Derek raised an eyebrow to the girl.

"Oh, I just decided not to go and drove them here after going to the tool shop." She smiled at him.

"We're here to protect you." Boyd explained their intentions.

"You're here to protect me?" Derek snorted. "Well, I'm in trouble then."

"Well, actually, Boyd here came up with a plan." Isaac stated proudly.

"Yeah, I thought about the time Gerard had me and Erica locked up, tied up with electrical wires pushing current through us." He placed his bag on the floor and opened it to take out some wrapped meters of wire. "I was wondering how we could do something like that."

"But on a bigger scale." Josie added, winking at his friend, both sharing a smirk before looking back at Derek.






Boyd twisted open the water pipe, letting the liquid run freely down the hose and onto the floor of the loft.

"In a pool of electrified water, it can take up to 50 milliamps to kill a normal human." Boyd began to explain as he moved the hose to cover more ground with the water. "Less than the power to turn on a lightbulb."

"That's comforting." Josie elbowed Derek in the ribs for his snarky comment.

"If we disable the circuit interrupter in the building's electrical room, the current will keep coming, and anyone who steps for in here, they'll get a pretty shocking surprise." Josie smiled at the proud smirk of Boyd's face for his own joke.

"Especially, someone who's barefoot." Complemented Isaac.

"I'm so proud of you, Boyd." Josie playfully punched him in the arm.
