I know that I changed, that was the point

"SO, the Walcotts were the first, at least the first that we know about," Stiles began, taping up various photos with red tape. "Four murders: Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called The Mute. Weapon of choice, a military tomahawk. But then The Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek with a Claymore mine. Next was Demarco. He delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's Lake House. And got decapitated outside his car." He continued, attaching a photo of Demarco's dead body on the board, "And then last night, twenty-three year old Carrie Hudson."

"It's a deadpool," Alex announced as Stiles' father watching them all in slight confusion—he couldn't seem to be able to fully comprehend the fact that there was a hit list with his son's friends on it. He was undoubtedly concerned for their safety and well-being, but he had no idea what to do about it. "A hit lit of supernatural creatures," she pulled out the printed version of the deadpool, handing it to Stilinski. "This is only part of it. The rest still has to be decoded." She then said, "I cost sixty million."

Stilinski's tired eyes scanned over it, glancing up at them. "Who found this list?"

"Lydia," Stiles piped in, knowing that it was because she was a Banshee. Kira had explained to them that Lydia heard Allison's name on an old record player in her Grandmother's room; telling her what the cipher key was.

"How?"

"She wrote it," Stiles corrected, his father still struggling to understand the entirety of the supernatural world and their current situation. "Actually, she transcribed it. Without realizing it."

"Banshee?"

"Banshee."

"Beautiful," the Sheriff mumbled, his eyes raking over the numbers by the names. "All right, what are these numbers next to the names?"

"Well, we're getting to that," Stiles assured. "First, you need to know that the code was broken with a cipher key."

"Wait," Stilinski interjected, his brow furrowed. "You mean, like a...like a key word?"

"It was actually a name," Alex corrected, shifting her weight uncomfortable as the rest of them fell silent in remembrance of their fallen friend. "Allison."

"Her name broke a third of the list."     

"And uh, we think there's two other cipher keys," Scott spoke up, knowing for a fact that there were indeed two other names left for them to crack. Another two sets of the deadpool full of names of the people that possibly had already met, or have yet to meet.

"Which will give us the rest of the names," Stilinski nodded his head. "Okay, so, how do we get the cipher keys?"     

"The same way we got the code."
