Scott POV
After Mitch and Thomas finished their reunion I watched as Thomas headed over to where Teresa, Jorge and Vince were gathered as Mitch came back towards us and I noticed his sleeve had rolled slightly to reveal a tattoo that looked similar to my pack stripes on my arm.
"Me, Thomas and Stiles have matching ones, Thomas is only drawn on as he really hasn't had the time to get a tattoo." Mitch explained as he seemed to notice me staring at the tattoo on his arm.
"Hang on, Stiles has a tattoo? The same Stiles who passed out when he watched me getting mine done." I state finding it slightly hard to believe that it was possible.
"Ha yeah funny you mention that. He passed out getting his one done also so we didn't wake him until it was done. We actually mentioned your one when deciding what to get done, he kept telling me how much he hated it so I based the design of I yours and he didn't know until he woke up." Mitch explained and lifted his arm so we can clearly see it as three thin black bands with Mitch, Mystery and Mischief written on the lines.
I heard Dad's ding to signal a message had been received and I noticed the change in his heart rate as he saw what was on the message.
"Dad, what is it?" I ask catching everyone's attention towards my Dad as he placed the laptop down and hooked it into the TV screen present and loaded the video that he had been sent.
"I just got this from a unknown email address with the subject line of WCKD." He explains and I notice his face pale as he presses play and we all watch the video that had been sent.
I watched as two guards seemed to drag a person into the room before placing them onto the waiting table where straps were placed around the person. I spotted a guy who I can only describe as a human Rat came into the view of the screen and spoke.
"Stiles, thank you for agreeing to come visit me." Ratman spoke and I gasped along with the rest of the room as we watched the final straps and some metal clips attached to wires are placed all around him.
"Thank you for asking so nicely." Stiles replies his answer laced with sarcasm but to those who knew him you could hear the strain on his voice.
"I have some questions to ask you and the answers that I need you are going to give them to me, you give me what I want and I will let you go free." He stated as the table Stiles was strapped to tilted up and we finally saw his face for the first time.
He looked tired and pale, his face was decorated with a number of bruises and cuts that seemed to travel down his bare chest. I noticed a bandage wrapped around the same place that Thomas and Mitch had been shot but I could see bruising coating the entire length of his chest and stomach.
"Let's begin, shall we. Where is Thomas?" Ratman asked as he seemed to walk to where all the wires are connected.
I watched as Stiles just closed his eyes and didn't answer the question, I looked in horror as the Ratman turned a dial on the machine and I could feel even through the recording the electricity been sent towards Stiles but he made no sign that he felt it.
"Where is the Right Arms base of operations?" I hear Ratman ask as he seems to adjust a dial on the station he was stood behind but yet again Stiles didn't answer and the electricity was sent into him. Again I could feel it was more powerful this time and seemed to flow for a lot longer but again Stiles made no sign of feeling it.
"That's it Stiles, stay in the zone." Mitch and Stan state at the same time and I look to them confused as to how they can say that so calm at this time.
"I should have realised when he passed the FBI training for this he had already had been previously trained. I always assumed it was from his past dealing with the Supernatural. Hang on, is this what you did to him them three weeks he was off on special assignment and came back looking like he had been badly tortured, he wouldn't speak to me about what had happened." Dad stated towards the pair and I stared at them both.
"Yeah, part of the training we do is how to deal with torture so you don't let any details be given to the wrong people. So Stiles agreed to do it as long as only Mitch and I were the ones doing it. Oh he regretted that choice." Stan explained his eyes fixed on the screen as he spoke.
"He held on and completed the full ten days of torture, we did everything from knives, hot stones, electrocution, water boarding, whipping and starvation. We then started the mental torture, this is the only area he waivered on slightly but passed it." Mitch explained and I can't believe that was classed as training but in someway I am glad they did it with what is happening currently.
"Who do you work for?" Ratman asks and again Stiles does not answer or show any sign he heard someone speak at him and once more I feel a powerful surge of electricity runs through the wires hitting his body. This round seemed to last longer then any before and once it finally ended I watched the sweat running more from Stiles face as he rests his weight fully on the restraints.
"Sir, if you do any more of this then you are going to end up killing him." A blonde lady sat at a computer advises sounding concerned for Stiles, Ratman pulls out a gun and shoots the lady in the head and her body slams to the floor and I realise it would be in Stiles's eye line.
"Well look at that, the robot finally shows some emotion." Ratman states and I can hear the joy in his voice as I look at Stiles and notice the tear running down his face.
(A/N Google translator used to convert so sorry if it is wrong, English will be in brackets)
"Mitch et Mystery, restez à l'écart et ne venez pas pour moi. C'est un piège! Je vais m'en sortir d'une manière ou d'une autre." Stiles states and my head snaps towards Mitch as he seems to step closer as though trying to make out what he said.
(Mitch and Mystery, stay away and do not come for me. It is a trap! I will get myself out one way or another.)
"So he finally speaks, so shall we try this again. Where is Thomas?" Ratman asks again stepping away from the controls.
"Mitch et Mystery, restez à l'écart et ne venez pas pour moi. C'est un piège! Je vais m'en sortir d'une manière ou d'une autre." Stiles repeats again sounding like he was using a mantra but I notice Mitch had grabbed a board marker and was writing down words on the board.
"Answer me! Where is Thomas!!" Ratman screams as I watch him slam a knife into Stiles's shoulder and starts to twist and I notice the expression on Stiles's face as though he was holding in the scream.
"Mitch et Mystery, restez à l'écart et ne venez pas pour moi. C'est un piège! Je vais m'en sortir d'une manière ou d'une autre." Stiles repeats again and I notice him closing his eyes once again as Ratman constantly twists the blade in his shoulder.
Ratman yanks the knife out of Stiles's shoulder and walks directly towards where the camera is propped up and stares directly at it.
"Thomas, only you can end his torture. Surrender yourself to me or next time I will not leave him with all of his body parts still attached." Ratman snarled into the lens before standing up and throwing the blade into Stiles shoulder before the video ends with co-ordinates that Mitch notes on the board.
I hear Lydia burst into tears and watch as Sheriff wraps his arms around her trying to find some sort of comfort as he himself held back his own tears. I collapsed into my seat as everyone finally took their seats apart from Mitch who was still writing on the board.
"Mitch, did you understand what Stiles was saying?" I asked breaking the silence in the room as Lydia wiped her tears away and looked towards Mitch with her hand still gripping the Sheriff's.
"Yeah, looks like the French lessons we had with him has paid off. He was saying 'Mitch and Mystery, stay away and do not come for me. It is a trap! I will get myself out one way or another.'" Mitch advises and I feel my heart drop in my stomach as I don't know if Stiles has enough strength to do this.
"So obviously we are not going to listen to him so we need to get going then, we have the co-ordinates of where they are holding him and we have a Berg. Let's go get him then." Thomas states jumping to his feet along with Vince, Jorge and Teresa before Lydia, Parrish, Derek and Sheriff get to their feet also.
"Thomas, you heard Stiles. If we go, we are going to be walking directly into a trap with know way to guarantee yours or anyone else's safety." Mitch advises as I get to my feet and look at Thomas as I hear his heart beat increase.
"Mitch, how many times has Stiles saved my life, your life or anyone else's life in this room? So are you really going to stand there and say there is nothing we are going to do." Thomas asks in general and I notice everyone's head seems to drop as he says this.
"Thomas, that isn't what Mitch is saying. Everyone present would do everything possible in their power to bring Stiles home but we don't want it to be at the cost of anyone in this room. We both know that Stiles's would never forgive any of us if that happened." I advise trying to explain more on what Mitch was advising.
Before anyone could say another word a ding signalling a message appeared on Dad's laptop showing another video file had been sent, we gathered again to watch after noticing it was from the same email as the first link. As the link opened up it showed Stiles's face but he seemed to be outside instead of indoors and Dad quickly pressed play on his message.
I don't know if this will go through but in case it does I escaped, I had help from someone. I don't know where I am but I need to keep moving as they are chasing me. Come find me!
The video stopped there and I looked around the room and noticed the change in everyone's faces seeing Stiles free but is still in danger as he is been hunted.
"Thomas, let's go get Mischief."
