I watch as Allison had taken a seat on the bench next to Phoebe, Liam, and Hayden while I adjusted the frequency on the machine Parrish had taken from the station inside the locker room.
Parrish was keeping watch outside in his truck while Malia was near the entrance of the school. They had placed their machines near where they stood so it would make it difficult for the Dread Doctors to find us.
In all honesty, I was terrified whether or not this would work.
"Since you couldn't exactly get your weapon back from Hayden's car," Allison says as she opened her bag, revealing two separate bo staffs that had the connector at the end. "I created a better bo staff so that these can retract into pocket sizes or when you use it, you can connect both of them."
Phoebe's lips curve to a smile as she took them from Allison's hands. "Thanks, Allison." She says before bringing her into a hug.
I feel someone grab my arm and I turn, seeing that it was Lydia but she dragged me to where Scott stood.

"Is it me or are Phoebe and Liam not aware of the second part of the plan?" Lydia questioned as her eyes fell on the duffel bag beside Scott and I shook my head with disbelief, knowing exactly what was in the bag.
He wanted to use Hayden as bait for the Dread Doctors.
"I don't like this second part of the plan." I whisper, briefly glancing behind at Phoebe who was somewhat showing off her bo staffs as they retracted in her hands.
"I'm still not sure if there's going to be a second part." Scott whispered.
"Or if it's going to work." Lydia emphasized.
Phoebe's POV:
I twirl one of the bo staff with my fingers, feeling my mind race a million thoughts as I tried to keep my heart steady.
The Dread Doctors were looking for not only Hayden. They were looking for me and nobody knows about it. I feel like if I did tell them, they wouldn't look at me the same.
Every chimera we met, ended up aggressive which caused everyone else to only having one solution which was to fight it. What if I lost control of whatever I was?
How am I supposed to tell Olivia? She made it a point to keep me away from the supernatural but somehow I got dragged into it without a choice! I mean, sure, I was thrilled to be a part of something but now it practically haunts me.
I don't know what to do anymore.
"Hey," I feel Liam nudge my side. "I can hear your heart rising. What's going on?"
I shake my head. "I-It's nothing. I'm just...worried about Hayden." I accidentally stutter and he raised a brow.
"You do know I can tell when you're lying, right?"
