To be defeated by a name

Chapter 14

Stiles entered the living room again to the whole pack watching him. He couldn't help the guilt from welling up inside. He knew it was their choice to fight, as much as it was his to take down Black Fox personally but he still couldn't help the feeling that he was throwing his friends under the bus to do this, and there would be no way for him to protect them.

"Stiles-" Scott started, standing up slightly but cutting himself off when Stan entered the room, his glare telling them all he wasn't happy.

It was then that Stiles' phone suddenly went off, the shrill ring cutting through the tension in the room like a knife.

"Dad? What do you have for me?" Stiles asked, ignoring Stan's look in his direction that he'd involved more people in this.

"Two men were seen in the old industrial area carrying semi-automatic rifles. Patrol called it in about 5 minutes ago." His dad said into the phone, Stiles' blood running cold.

"Keep me updated and stick with Parrish, I don't want you vulnerable when they could take you to get to me." He stated before hanging up, knowing his dad would listen since the situation was so dire.

For Stan and the other agents' benefits, he relayed the information his dad had told him, knowing this meant they would need to fast track they're planning to get to Black Fox before he got to them.

"It would be best to corner them there if that is where their base is." Derek spoke up, all heads turning to him, "The area is currently off-limits due to potentially unstable buildings and so there is no one who could potentially get hurt in a shootout."

Stiles agreed with Derek there. The old industrial area was made up of empty warehouses and factories, the area only ever visited by high schoolers looking to scare their mates by entering the restricted area and taking a look around.

"Scott, you and the pack listen to Hurley. You're going to be facing Black Fox's men head-on so be prepared and don't use brute force, that's not how it works in these situations and I'm not having one of you injured because you didn't follow orders."

He ignored Stan's scoff behind him.

"And what about you?" Scott asked, realising Stiles hadn't said he would be coming with them.

"I'm going after Black Fox." He stated, noting how Stan turned to him then.

"You need back up Rapp, that guy isn't someone you mess with."

"That's why I'm taking Derek. He's a good shot and I know he'll have my back whilst we're out there." Stiles replied, nodding at Derek when he looked over.
