"He's retelling seeing Simon with the gun aimed at Stiles" I hear Scott mutter next to me as we wait outside of Dad's office.
I close my eyes with his words and try not to freak out with knowing just how close I was to losing him tonight it was ridiculously close, despite his jokes to make the situation lighter
Scott lifts his arm that's next to me and wraps it around my back, pulling me closer to his side.
I rest my head on his shoulder and open my eyes, looking towards the closed office door.
Dad had asked Scott and I if we would come with him to the station to talk to us after he recorded his statement and had to put his gun and bullets into evidence bags since he had to use them on someone tonight
Dad opens the door a few seconds after Scott says he stopped the recording tape and looks to us with a soft smile "Thanks for waiting kids– I know it's late"
We return the smile as we push up from the desk we were sitting back on and I shrug "It's okay," Scott nods and continues "It's not like we're going to be going to school tomorrow anyway."
Dad smiles with a soft nod before he sighs and looks between us "Well unfortunately, I'm going to have to drive back to San Francisco tonight. I'll need to do a review at the field office– but I'll be back as soon as I can... I might have to miss the first game of the season"
Scott shakes his head, offering lightly to reassure him "It's no big deal."
Dad argues back quickly "It is to me. I'm keeping my promises this time."
I smile softly and offer him a look to say we believe him and we do, he's been really trying these last few months
Dad shifts on his feet, causing the bags in his hands to crinkle and my eyes drop to them, he notices and looks between us "What I did, it was necessary– justifiable. You both know that, right?"
I immediately flick my eyes up to him quickly and nod "Of course we know that. I'm sorry you had to go to the lengths that you did to stop that guy, but dad– you saved Stiles."
Offering a grateful look with my words, he nods once before Scott clears his throat "Have you done it before?"
Dad nods and looks between us while he answers "Two other times. It's not easy, taking a man's life, even someone who forces you to do it."
"How do you deal with it?" I ask softly, earning him to nod his head to the side, "You look at it logically. Without emotion. You compartmentalize."
Nodding with his words, Scott continues the questioning "How do you do that?"
Raising his brows, dad laughs once "I used to do it by drinking."
I make a face of understanding before Dad reaches forward and wraps each of his arms around us, pulling us in for a group hug.
We return the hug before he pulls away and sets one hand on the side of my face and the other on Scott's shoulder offering a smile that we return before he drops his hands from us.
Dad goes to step back before turning back to us quickly "Oh– one more thing. When I do come back, we have to talk about some stuff," I raise my brows with my silent question as he moves his eyes between Scott and I, continuing in his Fed voice "You guys and your friends, the way you guys handle things, it doesn't seem to faze you like it should. It's like you guys know something I don't. When I come back, I'd like to be in the know." not as oblivious as we were hoping, greeeeeeat
I try to clear my face of any guilt and offer him a nod, because maybe he should know that's future Scott and Addy's problem to figure out though
I see Scott do the same from my periph before Dad nods and holds out his arm for us to follow him out of the office.

The next morning, we begin our plan of finding out who the fuck the benefactor is by having Kira and Liam meet Stiles, Scott and I at our house.
Stiles and I have our laptops already out on the table and wait for Liam to set his on the table as well.
Kira looks around and over to us "Is three enough?"
Stiles shrugs "Depends on how many cameras they have– but I think so."
Liam nervously looks over between Scott and I as he questions "Are we really doing this?"
"We're doing it," I answer as Scott confirms with a nod "Tonight."
Liam shakes his head with his obvious nerves "But isn't it kind of dangerous?"
Stiles scoffs as he quips back "It's incredibly dangerous– and borderline idiotic." aka just another Monday in Beacon Hills
Liam raises his hands slightly off the table "Have you guys done something like this before?"
Stiles narrows his eyes as he shares a look with me and looks over to Liam with his question "Something dangerous, or something idiotic?"
Kira nods her head to the side as she looks from us and over to Liam "I think it's a yes to both."
Scott notices how nervous he looks and leans forward to gain his attention "You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to."
Liam straightens his shoulders to argue back "I'm not scared."
Stiles reaches his arm out to slap his hand on Liam's shoulder "Then you're borderline idiotic" he states with a lighter tone and a wink fuck, I love him
Stiles steps back next to me, setting his hand on my waist and I wrap my arm around his lower back as he looks to Scott and continues "If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?"
Kira shakes her head across the table from us "How do we even know something's definitely coming?"
I tilt my head to the side "Because the tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation required."
Stiles grips my side as he elaborates "Simon said the same thing. He couldn't get paid by the benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead."
Scott looks from us and over to Kira and Liam "So the idea is, what if you kill someone on the dead pool, but you can't send the proof?"
"You don't get paid" Kira fills in before Liam shakes head "But how does that get us any closer to the benefactor?"
I look over to him and shrug "The benefactor still needs to know if the target is really dead."
Stiles lifts his other hand from the table to go with his words "Especially if it's someone high on the list."
Catching on to what we're getting at Liam nods "So, if he wants visual confirmation..."
Scott smirks, adding "He's going to have to come get it himself."
⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇
So borderline idiotic plan is to stop Scott's heart to a barely there pulse with Kira's badass thunder kitsune power and the guidance of her mother.
Once he's 'dead' we call an ambulance and get him to the hospital, where mom will theatrically confirm he's dead she loved her drama class in school
There will be nothing to leave any question to whoever the benefactor is that Scott's really dead.
Chris will be acting as our assassin and will send a message that visual confirmation can't be acquired– meaning the benefactor will need to see it for themselves well that's the hope anyways
Stiles and I are waiting in Scott's room with Kira and Liam while we wait for Noshiko to arrive.
My nerves are on fire and trying to tell them that it's all apart of the plan, is doing nothing to help them calm down.
They know death is coming and it's frankly not helping the situation be any less stressful.
I can feel Liam's scared and it's just fueling my uneasiness... so I start pacing.
Scott follows me with his eyes before he sits up on his forearms "Addy–"
I shake my head and set my hands on my hips as I turn back to him "No, okay just no– let me do this instead."
"No!" Comes the quick reply from both Stiles and Scott who stands up from the bed to stand in solidarity with his friend and their decision fucking overprotective men
I scoff and look between them "Scott you've already done this before, okay you cheating death twice just screams all sorts of bad. You wouldn't let me sacrifice myself for mom, so it's only right that I do this instead of you now."
Stiles shakes his head "Yea no we aren't having this conversation– you want to put yourself in front of changing werewolves with no control and assassins with thermo wires, fine but I'm not watching you borderline die tonight Adds. I didn't get a say in your sacrifice offer but I feel like I should get a say in this."
Swinging my eyes from Scott over to him, I draw my brows in sadly "I stayed in the vault– let me do this, it's called compromise Sty."
Raising his arms out to his sides, he tries to argue "Addy, this is on a whole nother level of different!"
I shake my head "You think I don't know that? I can't even describe the feeling that is coursing through my veins right now, I do know that it's worse than what I felt with Allison. Okay? You guys can't watch me die– what do you think this is going to do to me to basically watch and feel you dance with death, Scotty?"
I swing my sad eyes over to him and continue, "We are the same price on this list, you can't even argue that it doesn't make sense for me to do this instead of you."
Scott shakes his head to mutter softly "Addy, you're missing one key difference between us though– I can heal, you can't."
Stiles points to Scott like that is a cased closed argument, earning me to roll my eyes and counter back "This isn't you having to heal yourself though– you're getting your heart stopped and jump started with thunder fox power, I could easily do that as well."
I look to Kira, who nods her head to the side, however a new voice chimes in behind me, "You are not wrong Addy, however Scott is right in this instance,"
I turn around with Noshiko's words as she walks farther into the room to stand in front of me and continues "The effect that this will have on the heart can be corrected with the same kitsune power. However, as brave and pure as your heart may be, I would only advise this reckless decision to be done with the heart of an Alpha."
Noshiko sets her hand on my shoulder, offering a gentle squeeze to go with her words "It is honorable that you would take your brother's place, don't let what needs to be done here tonight take that spark from you."
I swallow hard with her words before I nod towards her, she smiles sadly and walks over to the other side of Scott's bed.
Scott walks over and wraps his arms around me, laying the side of his head on top of mine "I love you, you stubborn pain in my ass."
I snort and return his hug "I love you, you just as stubborn and bigger pain in my ass."
We pull apart and he kisses my temple before he walks over to lay back on his bed.
I clear my throat as Stiles walks up beside me, setting his hand on my side before he nods to the door "We should go get situated at the hospital."
Taking a deep breath in, I look up at him. I expect to see anger which he has every right to feel however all I see is understanding in his eyes.
I smile softly, muttering "Yea" before I walk with him to the door and grab my bag with all of our computers.
Looking over my shoulder one last time at Scott, he sends me a reassuring look and slight nod, that I return before walking down the hall towards the stairs with Stiles.
We get to the jeep and Stiles moves to open the passenger door for me, however, he just lays his open palm on the door.
I close my eyes and take a quick breath in before I open my eyes and look up at him "I'm sorry. I'm sorry for constantly offering to do things that I know you won't like, but what am I supposed to do? Sit back and just let Scott continue to risk his life for whatever new threat we're dealing with? I have every ounce of faith that Kira and her mom will be able to bring him back, so why would it be so crazy for me to offer to do that in his place? Especially with me being in his place means he'd be here to help with getting the benefactor when they show up?"
Stiles doesn't say anything with my rambling, just lifts one side of his mouth in a soft smile as he tilts his head to the side and moves his eyes around my face.
Even though I've grown to swoon at the look he's currently sporting as he looks at me, when I'm in the middle of rambling it just makes me let out a huff with a slight shake of my head "What?"
Licking his lips quickly, Stiles reaches over and tucks a piece of hair behind my ear as he states confidently "Your bravery and how fiercely you want to protect people– people who have a supernatural ability to heal might I add– is one of the reasons I continue to fall in love with you every day, Adds. Yes I fucking hate you offering to basically die, but I respect the hell out of your reasonings. I would have done the same thing if I was on the list to keep you safe," he sets his hands on my face, cupping my cheeks in his hands as he goes on "You talked about compromise, so all I ask is that before you make these offers– maybe just throw them by me?" He states lightly with a slight shrug, earning a soft chuckle from me before he continues "We're in this together babe and I'll be standing by your side more times than I'm standing in front of you to stop you."
Lifting my arms up and around his neck as I feel him slide his hands down my sides until they rest on each side of my waist and I push up on my toes muttering "Deal" before connecting our lips and pushing all of my love for him into the kiss.

Mom's screams and cries of agony fill the halls as she is told by the physician who called time of death on Scott– Liam's dad as it so happened to work out– that Scott is dead.
Once Scott is moved into the morgue and laying on one of the cadaver pull out drawers, Stiles, Liam, Kira, her mom and I sneak into the room and wait for mom.
She comes in a few minutes later, wiping her face and calming her breathing from her Oscar worthy performance to the bystanders as she learned of her son's death.
She walks up next to me and Stiles on one side of Scotty, Noshiko by his head and Kira and Liam on his other side.
She looks to me and shakes her head "I still hate this plan. I mean this is pretty significantly terrifyingly," reaching up to wipe under her eye, she points to him as her voice breaks "He looks dead."
I set my hand on her shoulder and Noshiko holds out hers to mom "Give me your hand–"
Mom draws her brows in as she looks over to us, I smile softly and Stiles reaches behind me to also set his hand on her back as he nods forward to reassure her "It's okay."
Mom nods before she slowly reaches across Scott to give her hand to Noshiko, who smiles softly and sets mom's hand on his chest "Wait for it."
Waiting a few seconds, we hear mom breathe a sigh of relief as she moves her eyes over Scott's face "Is that enough to keep a werewolf alive?"
Noshiko looks to me quickly and back over to mom as she clarifies "Enough for an Alpha."
"How much time do we have?" Mom gets all business again and I clear my throat "Forty five minutes, mom."
Looking over her shoulder at me quickly, she asks the room "What happens after that?"
Kira shifts on her feet, gaining mom's eyes as she answers "I bring him back the same way–"
Mom makes a noise and moves her eyes between Stiles and I before looking over to the Yukimura's "No, I mean what happens if he stays like this longer than forty five minutes?"
Crossing my arms over my chest, I look down and feel Stiles set his hand on my back when Noshiko looks around at the four of us "No one's told her?"
Having no patience, mom asks again "What? What happens after forty five minutes?"
Noshiko flicks her eyes to me before they land on mom and she digress "He dies."
⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇
Stiles and I head downstairs to the basement level of the hospital to meet Chris, using his computer and IP we will send our message to the benefactor that Scott is dead.
Chris types out 'Scott McCall dead. Payment is requested' before hitting enter.
Stiles makes a noise and points to the screen "That's your assassin speak?"
Sharing a look with me, that I snicker into Stiles' shoulder with, Chris looks back to Stiles with a flick of his hand towards the screen "I said he's dead. What more do you want?"
Stiles lifts his hands up "It was a little dry. You could've said something like, 'Target has been neutralized. The crow flies at midnight.' You know– that's always cool."
Moving my lips between my teeth to hide my smile, Chris' brow twitches as he makes a "Hmm" noise looking between us.
The computer beeps with an incoming message, gaining us to look over to the screen 'visual confirmation is required'
Chris moves to type at the same time as Stiles and they both stand up looking at each other.
Chris nods to the computer for Stiles to type what he orders "Type this, 'Visual confirmation isn't possible. Police coming to claim body in forty minutes'."
The computer beeps again with another message 'visual confirmation is required for payment' listen here benefactor we're trying to trap you, work with us
Chris huffs and continues "Tell him 'number one on the list is dead. I killed him. And if the wire transfer isn't completed in forty minutes'..."
Chris reaches over for the computer and finishes his message on his own 'I'm coming for you'.
⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇
Stiles and I head back upstairs to the room mom got us set up to use with Kira, Liam and our laptops, while Chris heads up to the roof to hijack the hospital's security cameras for us.
Stiles' phone rings with Chris' contact info popping up before he answers the phone.
We hear Chris' voice "I'm here. You ready? Try it now" before Stiles nods to me and I reach forward and hit the enter key on my laptop.
As soon as I do, all three of the screens light up with the live feed from twelve cameras throughout the halls of the hospital holy shit, it worked
Sharing a triumphant look with Stiles, we breathe out a sigh of relief as we watch the cameras and the plan so far going the way we need it to be.
Chris is waiting down one of the hallways from the front doors near the morgue, while mom and Noshiko are waiting in a car outside watching the doors.
Staring at all of the screens for about ten minutes, I huff as I look at the countdown timer on my phone twenty eight minutes left and nothing so far
I set my phone on the bed and Stiles smiles softly as he wraps his arm around my back.
Liam makes a noise and points to his computer next to mine "Addy, is that supposed to look like that?"
Stiles and I shift closer and he shakes his head as we take in one of the four window screens glitching before it goes completely black "No. No, it's not."
Kira looks around at the screen as well as she questions "Where is that?"
I narrow my eyes at the computer screen before I answer her "It's the roof– someone's gonna have to check it out"
Kira moves over to her bag as she states without hesitation "I'll go."
Stiles lifts his hand up to the screen "Whoa, whoa– this might not just be a malfunction."
Turning back to us, she lifts up her katana and states strongly "That's why I'm bringing this" before turning towards the door with Liam following right behind her "I'm coming with you."
Stiles scoffs and calls out after them "Okay– and you're both coming right back. Immediately."
Looking down to me he sighs and shakes his head before looking back to the computer "Kids."
I snort and turn into his side, wrapping my arms around his waist "It's okay old man– they'll be fine."
Feigning mock hurt, he wraps his other arm around my back and pulls me into his chest "Careful now– that makes you my old lady."
I set my chin on his chest and smirk with a raise of my brow up towards him "Doesn't sound so bad."
Stiles releases a breathy chuckle before he drops his head forward and kisses me softly, the power going out in a loud power down surge has us pulling away with furrowed brows.
"Well that's never good" I grumble as we turn our heads to look at the black computer screens.
Stiles tightens his arms around me in a quick squeeze before he nods to the door "Let's go find Chris."
Stiles links hand with mine as we walk out the door and head down the hall on our search to find Chris and let him know what's happening.
Coming around the corner near the morgue where Chris was on watch, we see his back and then the end of his gun as he quickly turns and points it our way.
Stiles quickly steps in front of me with his arms raised, until recognition flashes across Chris' face and he lowers the gun with a look of apology between us.
Stiles lets out a shaky breath before he digresses "The power's out in the whole building. We lost all the cameras."
Nodding his head towards the door Chris orders "You guys stay with Scott. Text me if you see or hear anything."
He pulls up the countdown on his watch and we see the screen with eighteen minutes left.
We all share a look knowing the time limit we are even more on now, before he turns and walks down the hallway while Stiles and I head into the morgue.
⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇
Stiles and I hear the sounds of definite people fighting outside of the doors, so he brings his phone up as he calls Chris.
He starts pacing back and forth as he waits for the call to connect, setting one hand on his hip and the other out to his side as he grumbles "Come on, come on. Answer the phone. Answer the phone, Argent. Come on, Chris, answer the phone. Why are you not answering the phone?"
Stiles' question is answered by the double doors flying open with a body flying through and landing near our feet, causing us to jump back a step.
Looking down we see Chris as he lands on the ground with a grunt, looking up at us "Addy, Stiles run! Stiles, get her of here!"
Moving our eyes from him and over to the door when someone else walks in, I widen my eyes at seeing Kate standing in front of us "Get out of the way, kids. I'm taking the body" yea that's a no
Chris stands up and comes closer to stand in front of us defensively as Stiles grabs my arm and pulls me closer to him, tilting his head to the side to ask her "Why? Visual confirmation?"
Kate smirks and looks between us as she takes a few steps closer to us with her words "Don't worry, handsome. I'm not the benefactor."
I shake my head and connect my eyes with hers over Chris' shoulder "Then what do you want with the body?"
Looking from me to her brother she sighs "I wish I could tell you."
Chris quickly steps closer to her and blocks her hand coming at him to put a gun under her jaw.
Kate grunts before she mutters "I always forget you carry two."
Chris angrily clips out towards her "Back off!"
Kate smirks as she taunts him "You sure you can pull the trigger fast enough?"
"I don't want to," Chris counters before Kate shakes her head at him "You're not going to kill me."
Pulling her closer to him, Chris shouts back "I'm not going to let you take his body!"
I grab Stiles' arm as he shifts on his feet and tries to defuse the situation in front of us "Okay, well, obviously, you guys have a lot to talk about, so, maybe I saw some coffee, a vending machine outside–"
Chris ignores him and continues "Listen to me, Kate. We have a plan–"
Not wavering her eyes from him, Kate states "If killing Scott was part of it, you're worse off than me."
Stiles takes a quick breath in before looking over Chris' shoulder to gain her attention "He's telling the truth. We're trying to get to the benefactor."
"If you didn't notice, you're on that list too. And you're worth more than most," Chris tries, earning Kate to grit out through clenched teeth "That's why I'm here."
I step closer to them noticing Chris' watch three minutes left and add my own anger filled demand to her "Then please back off and let us do what we planned."
Kate and Chris look to the watch as well and Chris pleads to his sister "Take the Berserkers, and go. Kate, please. We have a plan."
⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇
Kate listened, miraculously, and called off her berserkers– leaving Kira, who was fighting one on the roof, free to come and meet us in the morgue, running inside the room with just fifteen seconds left.
We already had Scott's cadaver table pulled out while we waited for her and Kira places her hand over his chest, closing her eyes as we watch electricity flow from her hands and across his chest.
I lift my hand over my mouth while Stiles sets his arm around me and we wait for Scott to wake up.
The timer sounds on my phone and Chris' watch just as Scott yells as he sits up on his arms on the table with a deep gasp of air.
We all take a collective breath of relief as he wakes up and looks around at us all.
Kira sets her hands on either side of his face, smiling with her relief before she bends forward and kisses him softly.
She pulls away and Scott moves his eyes between hers "What happened? Did it work?"
Kira moves her tear filled eyes over to mine as Scott looks over to Stiles and I, with our faces full of regret that no one showed up to get the visual confirmation.
Liam runs through the doors, preventing us from saying anything.
Noticing his sad eyes on Kira's back, I sniffle softly and shake my head towards him "What is it Liam?"
Liam swallows thickly before he digresses "It's your mother Kira... she's hurt."
⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇⋆✦⋆⋇⋆⋇
They loaded up Kira's mom in a helicopter to take her to a hospital in Palo Alto where they haven't lost power because of a back from the dead were-cheetah and her berserkers who are hell bent on ruining every plan we ever come up with.
Kira is going to go with her mom, and make sure she stays safe since she's still on the dead pool list not a bad idea, and hopefully they'll both be safe in another city
After giving her a quick hug before her and Scott head over to her car, I turn around and smile softly at seeing Stiles already having his arms open for me to walk into.
Wrapping his arms around my waist as I lay my head on his chest, I hear him clear his throat "I'm sure you're tired, want me to take you home?"
I shake my head and pull back slightly, keeping my arms around him "Can I stay with you?"
Stiles lets out a quick breath through his nose with his soft smile "Yea of course– literally anytime."
I chuckle as we move towards the jeep and Stiles opens the door for me, however I stop my jump up into the seat when my phone rings.
Seeing Lydia's contact info, I turn and lean against the door frame as I answer the call "Hey Lyds–"
"I would love to know how the plan worked, if it worked and what our next step is– but you need to see something first."
I connect my eyes with Stiles' question filled ones before I laugh lightly and mutter "Okay all ears"
I hold the phone out in between us as I set it on speaker phone and Lydia's voice fills the area around us "Okay so I ran into my mom at the lake house, she was telling me all this stuff about my grandma– how she was in Eichen because she heard voices, voices Addy! They commited her because she was a banshee."
"Holy shit, that's–" I attempt, however Lyds is right there to continue "Insane right? There's more, my grandma told my mom before she died that she wanted me to spread her ashes at the lake when I turned eighteen. My mom gave me her urn since I'm almost eighteen, however her ashes weren't in the urn– guys it was filled with mountain ash. The whole boat house is made of mountain ash actually which is its own set of weird. Anyways, my mom had a box of my grandma's things and we were looking through it, we found the last thing she wrote down– it was code, as in the dead pool code you wrote Addy. I'm not even convinced at this point that my grandmother isn't alive and actually the benefactor" Lydia grumbles through the phone.
I make a face and share a look with Stiles before I clear my throat "Well funny enough, Stiles and I were actually talking about who we think the benefactor is. The plan didn't work in the sense that it should have because no one showed up, but it actually gave us an idea. I mean who has the power to know when someone's dead, but doesn't need to see the body to know it happened?"
"A banshee" Lydia whispers through the phone and I nod "I'm not saying it's your grandma Lyds, but who knows who else is a banshee and we just haven't met them yet."
"Right, that makes sense– oh that reminds me of something else I found, Addy my grandma knew Meredith. She has a picture and everything with her– here sending it to you now..."
My phone lights up with the photo message and I click on it, though my mouth drops open at seeing the picture and not just Meredith in it
I gasp softly and Stiles looks up to me "Adds? Babe, what is it?"
"Addy? Did it go through?" Lydia adds her own question and I clear my throat "Yea, yea it did– Lyds, umm who's in the photo with Meredith?"
"Oh that's my grandma Lorraine and on the other side of her is my grandma's sister– they were twins I guess, they don't look anything alike do they?" she chuckles as I lift my shock filled eyes up to Stiles fraternal twins usually don't
He shakes his head slightly with his silent question, before I clear my throat again and croak out "Lyds the lady next to your grandma... that's– that's my Grandma Elenor."
