"Everyone, meet at my place. ASAP." That was the first time Scott had ever used a group chat to contact people. Dawn was breaking over the horizon, and he was on his way home. The cold air whistling past him reflected his mood perfectly. That strange scent he had noticed was scattered about and mixed in with Stiles's, then he lost the trail. Simple as that. He was using his bike to take his anger out on the road. Not something Stiles's father would approve of, but it was better than getting to the house in a rage. As he pulled into the driveway he noticed Liam was already inside. He took off his helmet and opened the door.

"You find anything?" Sheriff Stilinski was the first to say anything as Scott stepped through the door.

"Yes and no. I'll explain in a bit." He paused a minute, thinking. "Dad?" He called louder than normal.

"Yeah?" Rafael McCall answered as he came in from another room.

"Remember how, before you left, you said you wanted to be in the know? Well, at this point, you need to know so you can help find Stiles. We'll explain more when everyone else gets here." Scott put his helmet down on the table.

"So Stiles is missing?" Liam seemed confused at how the boy who may as well have been a detective managed to get kidnaped.

"Yeah, and I wasn't able to track him very well." Scott sat down on the couch and put his head in his hand.

"Who's coming?" The sheriff asked as he folded his arms across his chest.

"Everyone... Kira, Lydia, Malia, Derek, Hayden, Mr. Argent, Parrish, my boss…" Scott rubbed his temples.

"Wait, all those people know about what you were going to tell me?" Mr. McCall shot Scott a disbelieving look.

"Yes, they all know." Scott didn't need to look up to know how his father was looking at him.

"Oh, cut him some slack. When I found out about it I couldn't look him in the eye for at least what..." Scott's mother trailed off.

"Two weeks and three days". Scott muttered.

"So don't blame him for not telling you who just stepped back into his life about his secrets."

"Ok please just spit it out already. All this beating around the bush is getting irritating." Mr. McCall said in a more irritated tone than normal.

"Dad, it will be easier to explain when everyone gets here…" Scott sighed.

"Please. Your best friend is missing and you want to wait to tell me this supposed big secret until all your little friends get here?"

"Well, we won't need to wait much longer. The girls just got here." Sheriff Stilinski was looking out the window as he spoke.

"Well hopefully one of them is more loose-lipped than you bunch." The FBI agent snapped at the group.

"Loose-lipped about what?" Lydia asked as she stepped in the door, flanked by the other three girls who followed her in.

"About whatever it is that Scott is refusing to tell me until you all get here!" Mr. McCall turned to face them quickly.

Kira turned to Scott, "Were gonna tell him?" she asked.

"Yes, but, first things first. Stiles is missing, we need as much help as we can get on this, that's why I think it's best to tell him." Scott shook his head in frustration as he spoke.

"Is it a bad thing that I don't mind that he's gone?" Everyone spun at the voice that wasn't supposed to be there. Derek stood, arms crossed in the darker corner of the room. "Well, are we gonna tell your dad or what?"

"Just tell me already." Scott's father sounded like he was going to give up any moment.

"Oh my god stops making a big deal out of things." Lydia took over the situation, "Mr. McCall, supernatural creatures are real. I'm a Banshee, Kira there is a Kitsune, Malia is a Werecoyote, Liam, Hayden, Derek, and your son are Werewolves. Moving on, what do we know about what's happening with Stiles?" Lydia looked intently at the FBI agent before turning back to Scott.

There was a knock at the door, "Well we weren't able to find anything when we were in the woods." Perrish stood in the doorway.

"Ok. Well, it might be a school day but I'll talk to them and tell them that you're all helping me." The Sheriff pulled out his phone and started writing an email to the principal.

"Sweet. No math." Malia chuckled. Kira elbowed her in the side. "Owww…" the coyote rubbed her ribs.

"Derek, you're with me," Scott stood, "Liam and Hayden, you're coming to, but we will split up and look. Sherif and Perrish go back to the station, do as much as you can."

"You don't need to tell us twice." Both officers took off with that.

"Dad, follow with us. Malia go home, see if u can find anything. Kira, Lydia, go through the bestiary try to find anything that would smell like decomposition."

"Why decomp?" Kira quirked an eyebrow.

"That was the only other defining sent there, problem is that it wasn't strong. It faded in and out, then it was gone." Scott sighed.

"Well, let's go then." Lydia took Kira's hand and pulled the fox out the door after her.

"Should we wait for Argent?" Derek suggested.

"Defiantly. Mom, when you're at work keep an eye out for him. Just in case he shows up."

"Got it." She took a bag and went back into the kitchen.

"What's going on?" Chris Argent stepped through the door, followed by Dr. Deaton.

"Stiles is missing. He disappeared from his car when it was in a wreck this morning. I tried tracking him but I lost his scent after a while. Can you take Liam and Hayden to the woods to try to find more?" Scott asked trying not to let his emotions show through.

"Of course, you two, let's go." Argent motioned to the betas. The three made their way out.

"Dr. Deaton, can you go help Lydia and Kira when you can? I know you have work, but there in the dark on what to look for." Scott looked pleadingly at his boss.

"Sure. Let them know I'll be free around 4pm." The man smiled and knodded to the stressing teen.

"Let's get going." Scott stood and motioned to Derek and his father.


The sheriff and deputy made the drive to the station in silence. The tension in the car kept Parrish's eyes on the road.

"Do... You recognize that car?" Perrish asked as they pulled in.

"What? Which car?"

"That blue one."

"No. Not a clue. But does it really matter?"

"Not really I guess." They pulled into a spot and jumped out.

"Ah, Sherif, there's someone waiting for you in your office." A deputy called his attention as the two men walked into the building.

"Alright. Any news on my son?"

"No sir, we are sending dogs out to the site as well."

"Thank you, keep me updated." Sheriff Stilinski nodded and pulled the door to his office open. A woman stood as he entered.

"Hi, Sheriff Stilinski?"

"Yes, and you are?"

"Catherine Chandler, Detective with the NYPD. I'm following a case I was just put on, a missingpersons case. Five people are missing, three are dead, and I'm here because the sixth person has just gone missing. She took her seat again as the Sheriff took his. Can I count on your department's help with this?" The woman gave him an easy smile.
