"Go back to school." Derek instructed as the loft doors opened. Adele looked up from her spot on the couch to see Boyd and Isaac.

"Well, actually, we can't." Isaac announced as Derek was positioned on the stair case.

"Boyd and I are uh-incredibly and unbelievably sick." Isaac bullshitted.

"With what, brain damage?" Adele rolled her eyes as she set her book down beside her and spun around to face them.

"Well, I have a migraine and uh-Boyd here has explosive diarrhea." Isaac explained, causing Adele to snort.

"We're here to protect you." Boyd spoke annoyed.

"You're here to protect me?" Derek asked as he descended into view.

"Well, I'm in trouble then." he added, walking over to the pair.

"Well, actually, Boyd here came up with a plan." Isaac informed as Adele walked over to the pair.

"Yeah, I thought about the time Gerard had me and Erica locked up with electrical wire pushing current through us." Boyd began as he leaned down to unzip his red Nike bag.

"I was wondering how we could do something like that." Boyd finished as Derek looked at the beta like a sad puppy.

"But on a bigger scale." Adele noted as Boyd pulled out electrical wires. Boyd nodded before walking over to the unused spicket and attaching a hose.

"In a pool of electrified water, it can take up to 50 milliamps to kill a normal human, less than the power it take to turn on a light bulb." Boyd continued as he put down the running hose.

"That's comforting." Derek spoke, looking over at Adele.

"If we disable the circuit interrupter in the building's electrical room, the current will keep coming, and anyone who steps foot in here, they'll get a pretty shocking surprise." Boyd smirked, alarming Adele a bit.

"Especially someone who's barefoot." Isaac added spitefully.

"It's alarming how vindictive you two are." Adele noted as Derek looked at the pair of betas impressed.

"Thank you." Isaac smiled at his best friend.

Adele shook her head before moving and taking her place beside Derek, allowing for the betas to set up their trap.

Adele leaned on Derek as Boyd through the electrical chord into the water and Isaac flicked the lights.

"Is this going to kill them?" Isaac questioned.

"I hope so." Boyd answered. Adele's nerves were everywhere as she clutched Derek's arm.

She wanted the threat of the Alpha pack gone, but did she want them dead?

Adele soon sat upon one of the wooden blocks with her head on the wall and Derek above her.

Isaac and Boyd on separate one's across front them.

"Isn't the light on that supposed to be on?" Isaac then questioned, alerting Adele.
