"It can't be. They haven't been in Beacon Hills for years." Deaton says as he looks through the pictures on my phone. No one is in the pictures, but he knows who the owners of all the tools and gadgets are.

"Who?" Scott asks.

They wanted to eliminate you before you became a threat."

"How do we stop them?" Scott asks.

"I'm not sure you can." Chris says.

"There's gotta be a way." Scott says. "No more missing teenagers, no more experiments. I'm going to put an end to this."
