"What do you mean he's missing? What happened." said Derek.
"I was hopping you could tell me that." said Scott. "why did you have Austin watching Stiles?"
"It was just a precaution. But what do you mean hes gone?"
"He's missing." Scott started but Alex cut him off.
"They took him." She said and Derek looked at her then said what is she even doing here?
"I'm wondering the same thing. I had guns pointed at me and got knocked out and My friend taken by the same people.
And what I'm here talking about it instead of actually doing something." Alex complained.
Derek finally grasped what was being said nobody was being direct saying he's missing.
for all he knew Stiles could have been out somewhere doing something, he didn't know his schedule.
"We're going to find him trust me." Said Derek.
"You care about him?" Alex asked abruptly.
Derek didn't answer just looked around out of the corner of his eyes at the others.
He himself knew the answer it was something he had just come to terms with and decided not to act on,
not just for Stiles but himself, he didn't want to love somebody just to lose them again.
And if she knew that then she wouldn't be asking him such a damn question.
"Do you care about stiles!" She asked again growing more mad that he wanted her to believe he could find her best friend in the world,
someone she valued life more then her own. And Couldn't answer such a simple question.
"You can't even answer, so why should I trust you." She said then stormed out.
She was right she had no reason to trust him so why should she.
"Go after her." Derek told Austin in a low voice. "we can't risk her alerting the police."
Austin listened and ran off after her. He caught up to her quite quickly and called out to her.
"Alex wait." Said Austin but she just kept walking. Alex! He said as he grabbed her by the forearm and she snatched away.
"Don't touch me." she snarled.
"We're going to find him." Austin said his voice sounding like a plea. he wanted her to believe it because he didn't himself.
"Really and why should I believe you hn." She said with the anger still stern in her face.
"Why should I trust you, you were the one that was supposed to be watching him and now look… he's gone!"
"Yeah because he was going after you!" he shot back without thinking.
She looked hurt by the statement. Her anger now replaced by guilt,
she had already felt like it was her fault and he had just made it worst.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that."
"Yes you did." She said then turned to walk off but stopped and turned back to face him then said.
"tell me, tell me one thing that would stop me from going to the cops about this."
The first thing that came to his mind was that it was hunters that took him and that they probably only took him to get to Derek and his pack that we're all werewolves including himself. But he couldn't say that so He just looked at her trying to think of something to say but couldn't find anything that he should tell her that he could. "…I have nothing." he answered.
"So hunters took Stiles for what reason?"
Scott asked annoyed and worried that stiles was out there somewhere and he didn't know where.
"They want the dog." Said Nathan.
Derek was to angry in his head trying to think of the best way to get Stiles out of danger without anybody getting hurt, To answer for himself.
"So what they take Stiles to lure the dog to them how is that supposed to work?"
Scott asked just as he did his phone ringed and he pulled it out and looked at it, it read Stiles name across the screen.
"Stiles!" he said as he answered.
"Scott so which one are you?" Said the female voice from the other end of the phone.
"Who is this and where is Stiles?"
"Don't worry he's fine just a little tied up at the moment. But more importantly going by your tone I'm going to say your not the alpha.
" She stated referring to his voice, it didn't fit the man she had seen.
"So tell him that if he wants the boy back he knows what he has to do but make it quick, I can get a little impatient."
She said then continued like she had just remembered something.
"Oh and tell him at least he delayed us getting him a lot sooner to would have been sad for him to go missing on the same day his mother died."
The phone clicked.
Scott looked at Derek then said. "Derek who ever has Stiles said that you'll know what to do to get him back, what does that mean?"
Derek didn't answer but his jaw tightened.
"She also said you stopped them from taking him sooner,
she said it would have been sad for him to go missing…on the same day his mother died."
Scott said relaying the messages as he thought about what was said.
Derek suddenly picked up the glass that set in front of him and through it across the room and it shattered against the wall.
Nathan pushed air out of his nose then said leave. In a voice that meant everyone.
"Leave you mean to go find Stiles right?" said Scott.
"No I mean leave, go home, especially you." He said to Scott.
"You're his friend you need to come up with a reason why he won't be coming home for how ever long it takes us to find him."
Scott took his reasoning understanding it and left he did have to come up with an excuse and a good one.
Once Scott and Jin were gone Nathan turned to Derek and said. "Anger isn't going to get us anywhere, so cool off."
"You don't understand." Said Derek as he ran his hand over his forehead massaging the spot.
"They have been watching him all along. They were in the house at the same time I was and I didn't notice."
"I don't understand really, out of all the people me." said Nathan.
"I just don't understand how I didn't sense it." said Derek.
"Probably the same reason why you didn't sense Kimberley's dad come into her room when you were making out with her in the seventh grade."
Nathan stated.
"You were right." Said Derek.
"Woo wait what did you say?" Nathan Said not believing what he had just heard.
"You were right."
"Again." said Nathan sticking his head closer.
"you were right." Derek repeated.
"One more time."
"shut up." Derek said instead.
"What ever. Now that we have established how right I am because when am I ever wrong. We need to figure out what to do."
