Streets

Leo was currently walking about, trying to clear his head. He had heard about what happened with his Uncle Rafael and what the Oni did. He may hate his uncle but that doesn't mean he wants him dead. So, he figured that taking a walk would help clear his head. So far, no luck. "Please, come find me..." a voice said. Leo stopped in his tracks and looked around. "Leo. Please, come find me..." the voice said again. Leo recognised the voice. "Stiles?" Leo said quietly. "Please, come find me..." Stiles' voice said. Just then, Leo started walking but it was like he wasn't in control of his actions. Like something was pulling him somewhere.

As he walked, he started to worry that something bad had happened to Stiles. Suddenly, Leo stopped. He looked to his left and saw he was outside Stiles' house. A car then pulled up. Leo looked over and saw Lydia and Aiden climb out the car. Lydia looked over at Leo. "You heard it to?" Lydia asked. Leo nodded.

Later

The three were in Stiles' room looking around when Scott and Isaac walked in. "How did you know? Did he call you, too?" Scott asked the three. "I heard it." Lydia said. "Me too." Leo said. Scott and Isaac looked at Aiden. "Don't ask-- it gets more confusing when you ask." Aiden said. "Okay..." Isaac said. "Not as confusing as this." Lydia said. They all looked at what she was looking at and saw red cords from Stiles's evidence board have been tied to a pair of scissors impaled in his mattress. "He uses red for unsolved cases..." Lydia said.

"Maybe he thinks he's part of an unsolved case?" Aiden suggested. "Or is an unsolved case?" Isaac asked. Leo looked at them. "Hold on-- is he still out there? You don't know where he is?" Leo asked. "He said that he was in an industrial basement somewhere." Scott said. "We came here to get a better scent." Isaac said. "What else did he say?" Lydia asked. "Something's wrong with his leg-- it's bleeding." Scott said anxiously. "And he's freezing." Isaac said. "Tonight's the coldest night of the year. It's going to drop into the twenties." Aiden said. "What did his dad say?" Leo asked.

"We kind of... We didn't tell him yet." Scott said and Leo looked at him like he was crazy. "Stiles is bleeding and freezing and you didn't call his dad?" Leo asked incredulously. "He made me promise not to!" Scott said. Leo gave him a look that said 'that doesn't matter'. "We can find him by scent. If he was sleepwalking, he couldn't have gotten far, right?" Scott suggested. "You didn't notice his Jeep is gone, did you?" Aiden asked. "You promised you wouldn't call his dad-- I didn't." Lydia said. She pulled out her phone and started to dial. "Wait, Lydia! Hold on-- I can get more help. I can call Derek, Allison--" Scott said but was cut off by Leo scoffing.

"Everyone except for the cops. Great idea!" Leo said sarcastically. "You guys remember they only gets these feelings when someone's about to die, right?" Aiden asked. Scott sighed. "You don't have to call his dad. It's five minutes to the station." Scott said. Leo and Lydia looked at each other. "We'll catch up." Lydia said. "What? Why?" Scott asked. "There's something here..." Leo said, looking around the room. "Yeah, evidence of total insanity." Isaac said. "We can figure out what's wrong with him after we find a way to keep him from freezing to death." Scott said. "Go. We'll be right behind you." Lydia said.

Later

Aiden, Leo and Lydia continue going through Stiles's things. Aiden finds one of Lydia's nemeton sketches framed. "Didn't you draw this?" Aiden asked. Lydia looked at the drawing. "Put that back!" Lydia said. "It's yours, right?" Aiden asked. "It's one of them... I guess..." Lydia said bashfully. Aiden smirked. "He likes you a lot, doesn't he?" Aiden asked. Lydia shrugged. "Maybe he likes the drawing a lot?" Lydia asked. "For Lydia." Aiden said, reading off the frame. "Okay..." Lydia said. Leo felt his phone buzz and saw he had a message. "Nothing at hospital. Derek headed to high school. Isaac going to find Allison. And, Scott's with the Sheriff." Leo said.
