Stiles reached forwards and stopped the recording on the tape. Scott and I had brought Garrett's sports bag, filled with the money, home and we stumbled across this casette tape.

"You only need a wire transfer?" Stiles frowned.

"Garrett had enough money" Scott said.

"So you didn't understand a word of it either?" Stiles questioned. I bit my lip.

"I don't understand any of this" I gestured to the money and the tape.

"Why would someone need all this money just to kill us?" Scott asked.

"Someone wants you dead dude. Badly" Stiles said. Scott was wordless. He started to pack up the money

"Whoa, whoa! What are you doing?" Stiles asked.

"It's late. We've got PSAT's in the morning" My brother replied like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"No I meant the money. With the $500,000. Do you know how much that is?"

"A lot" I said sarcastically.

"It's $500,000" said Scott.

"Scott that's half a million dollars. What are you going to do with it?"

"What about Derek? The money's his" Scott said.

"His and Peter's" I reminded.

"What does that mean?"

"It means maybe we should proceed with caution" Stiles said seriously.

Scott raised his eyebrows questioningly. "You don't think we should tell Derek?"

"No. No" Stiles said standing up to look outside the window. Scott and I shared a look. Stiles sighed. "No of course we have to tell him. I'm just saying, some of that money's Peter's, right?" He turned back. around to face us.

"Yeah, right" Scott said, completely clueless.

"Peter" Stiles started. "Homicidal killer"

"Professional asshole" I added.

"You wanna give half a million dollars to him? Stiles asked.

"We should get Derek his money back. And not Peter?"

"I didn't say that" Stiles said. Scott looking at him as if waiting for him to continue.

"Stiles. What are you saying?"

Stiles took a deep breath but then we heard footsteps running up the stairs. Scott shoved the bag under the bed and we both stood up quickly.

Malia ran into the room, soaking wet from the rain. "We found Satomi's pack, Derek and I" she started. We looked at her expectantly. "But they're dead"

"All of them?" Scott asked in disbelief.

"All the ones we found"

"Then where's Derek?" Stiles asked.
"He's taking Braeden to the hospital, she was shot"

"What was Braeden doing with Satomi's pack?" I asked.

Malia just shrugged.

And it begins again.
