Stiles and I walked back over to Theo and Roscoe. Theo had since put the Jeep right-side-up. The police scanner caught our attention. We heard that Kira was under arrest.

We rushed over to Scott's house and were joined by Malia. Scott appeared moments later.

Stiles turned to Scott. "Hey, is Kira okay? Scott?"

He ignored Stiles and walked past us. I exchanged a look with Stiles and we followed Scott upstairs. By the time we got there, Scott had already inserted his claws into Corey's neck.

"Don't get too close," Lydia warned.

"What is he doing?" Theo asked with a hint of curiosity.

"Tapping into Corey's memories. It's usually something only Alphas do."

Theo seemed to have a glint in his eyes. "Is it as dangerous as it looks?"

Stiles gave a small glance to Theo. "Probably more."

"Does anyone know if it's working?" Mason asked.

Corey began repeating no over and over and Scott fell backwards. I rushed over to Scott and helped steady him. Scott turned to me. "Is he okay?"

Corey's hand found the back of his neck. "What the hell did you do to me?"

"You'll be alright," Scott reassured.

"There's blood."

"You'll heal."

"Scott..." I began softly.

"He'll be fine!" Scott yelled at me, making me shrink back. He realized his tone and sighed. "Listen... I think it worked. I saw something." He grabbed a notepad and began sketching something on paper. "There were tunnels. Pipes along the wall. There were these huge blue pipes at the entrance. Two on both sides."

Stiles leaned in closer to the notepad. "Wait a second. I know this. I've seen this before. That's one of the tunnels I used to skateboard in. Remember my dad caught me one time and told me to never go back?"

"It's the water treatment plant," Lydia and I realized.

"That's where there are. That's where we'll find Liam and Hayden," Lydia added.

Stiles and I followed Scott down the stairs. "Scott..." Stiles called. "Scott, slow down. Just think for a second, okay?"

"Mason shouldn't be going," I protested.

"Liam's my best friend. I'm going," Mason returned as he stood behind me.

Stiles gave a small scoff. "Oh, did you suddenly get super wolf powers? I wasn't aware of that development."

Scott ignored Stiles' sarcasm and said, "Well, if you're not going, I could use the help."

Stiles nodded. "No, I'm coming, just as soon as I talk to my dad. They're moving the body and he wants to make sure that this time no one steals it."

"How exactly does he plan on managing that?" I asked.

Stiles glanced to me. "I don't know. But whoever took the last one was strong enough to flip my Jeep."

"We can bring Theo," Malia suggested.

Theo shook his head. "Maybe I better stay here. You know, in case the Doctors decide to make a house call for Corey."

Lydia took a step towards my friend. "Scott, Stiles is right. We need to slow down and think."

"I am thinking..." Scott argued, "...about how Liam and Hayden could already be dead."
