"They didn't." Theo said as he was standing in the cell and on the bench back in human form and soundly asleep in a ball, was Beatrice and she was naked. "B." He said and Beatrice opened her eyes.

"Aw, great." She said and Liam tossed her the pile of clothes through the cell bars and Beatrice quickly got dressed.

"Please, please tell me that you brought the key card." Theo said as Beatrice joined him at the door and she looked at Sheriff Stilinski and at Liam, who stood next to him.

"I also brought my gun." Stilinski stated.

"And your sense of humor. That is great. But if we're the only ones left in Beacon Hills, then we need each other. Which means that you need me and Beat out of this cell." Theo said as Stilinski scoffed.

"Beatrice is free to go at any given time. Why she would want to spend any time with you at all, is anyone's guess." Stilinski noted and Beatrice's growl was surprisingly audible.

"We need to trust you." Liam answered and Beatrice was shaking her head.

"Then you need to get realistic, because trust is not important right now. It is us against them. And you want a lot more of us right now especially considering how many of them there are." Theo snapped.

"You guys know he's right." Beatrice murmured and they all looked over at her. "I'm a pessimist on the best of days, you two know that better than anyone, but I've already lost enough to life. Tye has been taken twice now, Casey is gone, the twins were sent away, Talia is gone, and most of my family were dead before this. Let us out of this cell, even just so that we can get the good people back." She said and Sheriff Stilinski held up the key card.

"If I let you out and I see any behavior that I find even remotely suspicious, I'll put so many bullets in your head, God won't even recognize you." Stilinski threatened and Theo looked at him.

"I'm an atheist. Fire at will." Theo's voice was completely calm and the Sheriff looked at Beatrice, who was now waiting for the swipe of the key card.

After a rather brutal memory from Theo was given to Stilinski, they were let out. Beatrice bolted in front of the boys and Beatrice clambered into the backseat, as the boys took the front seats.

It took them five sets of keys before they found the right ones and Beatrice was nodding quickly as the Ghost Riders advanced. "Go, go! Drive now, you idiot!" She shouted at Theo and he puts it in gear and then he drove off just as quickly as he could.

Liam flipped on the siren for the ambulance and Theo lunged forward to try and turn it off.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Theo shouted as he was trying to turn it off, but Liam stubbornly just kept getting in the way.

"Don't! Don't turn it off." Liam said as he flung Theo back a few steps.

"You really want to bring them all here? Every single one of them?" The incredulity was clear as Beatrice was looking at Liam.

"I'm going down fighting on my own either way. Whether or not, it is them or another enemy. I am not going to be the first Hale to die running." She said and they both looked at her.

"You! You're going first." Theo jabbed his finger at Liam, who looked at him with fearless eyes. "That's the only reason I'm with you. Because while they're busy wrapping a whip around your necks, or shooting holes in your heads, I'll be running in the other direction." Theo snapped and Liam looked at Beatrice, who silently was watching the scene.

"On your own head, be it. The self-preservation instincts, that-that is all the coyote." She said quietly as the guys looked at her as she looked at the siren. "We only have time until we can't hear the siren anymore." Her tone was like steel as she walked into the hospital without any more words to say.

Beatrice looked down the hallway where Theo was staring and now, she had a feeling that she knew what was going on. Beatrice gently shoved him and Theo snapped out of it, as she was shaking her head.

"No one is there." She said and he nodded a little. "Liam, where do we go from here?" Beatrice asked.
