Audrey fell to the floor as her hand covered her mouth trying to hold back the scream that was erupting from her mouth. Her baby brother was either dead or dying, she had saw it happen right before her eyes. She heard the shot and then she saw the red mist explode from his chest. "Scott, oh my god Scott!" Audrey could feel the tears falling down her cheeks she was finding it harder and harder to control her emotions until Derek's muscular arms wrapped around her and lifted her from the ground. "It's going to be okay, trust me." Derek spoke calm and reassuringly against Audrey's ear his hands rubbing her hips soothingly.
"You get your hands off my lady friend there wereboy."
"Excuse me, your lady friend?" Derek asked trying to hold back a small laugh.
"I'm sorry who are you?" "Who I am ain't none of your business, you hear? You just leave her here and walk back out that door or I'mma shoot you. I know what you is boy I know what type of bullet to use on you."
"Derek what is he talking about?" Audrey whispered softly clinging to Derek tightly.
"Babe, he's obviously an inbred hillbilly. Disregard everything that comes out of his mouth."
"I understand what you're saying," Derek started talking to the stranger standing above them on the catwalk.
"But what I need you to explain to me is who you are and what you want with Audrey."
"This Audrey here is mine. I found her first. You go on and getcha a new girl alright?" Derek laughed softly.
"You see I would but I've found myself quite attached to this one here."
"I ain't givin' no flyin' fucks on what you're attached to, that one there is mine and I'll be havin' what is mine."
"When did you first meet Audrey?" Derek asked trying to keep the madman talking.
"Up there in Washington, she used to go to school there. She used to be a good girl before she came down here and met you and your kind."
"Did you kill Darlene?" Audrey asked trying to keep her voice from cracking as she watched Scott's hanging body.
"That there was an accident Audrey. You was supposed to be there not that whore. I got angry she wasn't you, I snapped but I would never hurt you darlin." Audrey could feel the bile raise in the back of her throat hearing him say her name.
"I was sick she was just doing me a favor." Audrey blinked back tears her hands clutching Derek as she tried to use the physicality of him being there as an emotional support.
"I was plannin' that night for so long, that was the night I was gonna take you back home for me. Make you be my wife, have my children." Audrey literally gagged and Derek let out a low growl.
"You're not taking Audrey anywhere." Derek spoke his voice husky with anger.
"I'll do as I damn well please!" The deranged man walked out of the shadow the gun raised at Derek "You'll do well to remember I gots the means to killing you!"
"You go ahead and try." Derek rolled quickly out of the way as a bullet flew by where his head was just minutes ago. Audrey gasped her wide eyes following Derek's form to make sure he was okay.
"You missed." Derek rose with a smirk.
"And let me guess that was your only special bullet." Derek laughed softly which was abruptly ended by the gun being turned onto Audrey.
"If I can't have her ain't nobody gunna." Audrey gulped her nerves making her fingers tremble.
"Nobody hurts my family." Scott growled as he disarmed the madman ramming the butt of the gun into the mans head making him crumple.
"Scott!?" Audrey ran closer to the catwalk staring up at him.
"But I thought you were dead, how did you get down?" Audrey felt woozy from her bewilderment.
"The first shot was a blank and a fake blood pack." Scott lied. "I just passed out cause I'm big whimp. But you and Derek stalled him long enough for me to get up here."
"Oh my god Scott I'm so glad you're okay, I was so worried that I had gotten you hurt." Audrey gushed as Derek and Scott's heads perked up to the sounds of police sirens. "Derek we gotta go."
"No Scott, this bastards not living, shoot him. He tried to shoot me he was going to shoot Audrey, it's self defense."
"What?! I'm not shooting an unarmed and unconscious person!"
"He was going to kill Audrey that is if she was that lucky."
"Derek I can't do this." Scott said in a small voice as Audrey looked on undecided.
"Then I'll do it." Derek stated as he jumped up to the catwalk with ease leaving Audrey blinking in confusion.
"Derek." Scott weakly protested as Derek lifted up the mans limp body and pushed him over the railing. Audrey gasped and squeezed her eyes shut tightly hearing the body land with a sickening thud.
"Everybody freeze!" Audrey gasped holding her hands up like she was caught red-handed as Sheriff Stilinski busted through the doors of the warehouse.
"Audrey is that you, what's going on here. Oh my god." Stilinski paled as he holstered his gun and pointed the flashlight at the body splattered against the concrete flooring of the warehouse.
"Who's up there?" The Sheriff pointed his flashlight up at the catwalk illuminating Scott and Derek.
"Scott, Hale? You boys need to get down here right now and explain." Derek stepped away from the gun he wiped Scott's prints and the now dead mans blood off of and climbed down the ladder with Scott.
"Audrey are you okay?" John asked stepping closer to him.
"They saved my life. The man he killed my best friend back in Washington he followed me here. He had a gun pointed at me. Scott and Derek stopped him, they saved my life."
"Are you willing to come down to the station and sign off on your confession?" Audrey nodded weakly.
"I'm just ready to put an end to this nightmare."
