Peter ignored him, he glared at Stiles and kept going. "So I went by her house to talk to her. Her front door was wide open, there were bags on the porch and I-" His voice started trembling with anger before he could get it back under control. "And I could smell fear."/p

How about you just head back home and we'll let you know if we figure anything out." Peter bit back a snarl and looked down at them. "You cannot keep me away from her." He said it too low for Stiles to hear, but Scott caught it. He studied Peter's face carefully and something he saw there made him change his mind./p

Stiles looked at Scott like he was insane. "Scott are you serious? Did you sneak some crack this morning? What part of 'psychopathic serial killer' do you not understand?"

Peter was starting to think that asking these two for help was useless./p

" I thought you told me he was a crazy killer?" "Yeah, that was before. But now Scott's wolfy senses say that he's working for the allies this time." Now the Sheriff looked even more confused. "So the only reason we don't think it's him is because Scott's gut says so?"/p

That's the best news Peter's heard all day, "Good let's go." Stiles put a hand on Peter's shoulder to stop him, but the look he got in return made him think better about it.

When she didn't answer he began to worry. 'Maybe she's still in denial about what we are to each other. I need to go talk to her.' When he went to his car, this feeling of dread began to wash over him, but he figured he was just being ridiculous./p

When he got there he immediately realized that something was wrong. He jumped out of his car and noticed that there were bags on the porch and the front door was wide open./p

He could smell someone or something else and he could smell fear, her fear. He was shaking now, he couldn't even drive so he just ran to Scott's house./p

This time Stiles stepped forward, "Why would we tell an angry psychopath where our friend is. Especially the psychopath that haunted said friend and almost drove her insane. Peter just snarled at him and he stepped back behind Scott./p

"Fine, if you don't want to tell me where she is at least tell me that you know where she is and that she is okay."/p

"Stiles, call Lydia and see what she's up to."/p

Stiles sighed and pulled out his phone to call Lydia. Both Scott and Peter could hear when it went to voicemail. Peter felt bittersweet, it was good to know that she wasn't just ignoring him, but this also meant that Lydia was in trouble./p

Peter ignored him, he glared at Stiles and kept going. "So I went by her house to talk to her. Her front door was wide open, there were bags on the porch and I-" His voice started trembling with anger before he could get it back under control. "And I could smell fear."/p

How about you just head back home and we'll let you know if we figure anything out." Peter bit back a snarl and looked down at them. "You cannot keep me away from her." He said it too low for Stiles to hear, but Scott caught it. He studied Peter's face carefully and something he saw there made him change his mind./p
p style="border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 15.12px; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'GNU Unifont', Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; vertical-align: baseline; list-style: none; margin: 1.286em auto; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.5; color: #2a2a2a;""Fine, you can come." Stiles looked at Scott like he was insane. "Scott are you serious? Did you sneak some crack this morning? What part of 'psychopathic serial killer' do you not understand?" Then he pulled Scott off to the side, "And why does he need to find Lydia anyway? Maybe it's just me, but there's something he's not telling us."/p

Scott and Peter sniffed around while Stiles looked around like normal people do. "It smells like someone else was here with her, but I can't tell who or even what it is." Peter was starting to think that asking these two for help was useless./p

Everything hurt and she wasn't sure if anyone was coming to find her. Most importantly, despite herself she missed Peter and she wished she would have just stayed with him. Plus Lydia had a feeling that things were about to get a lot worse./p

What about you, are you up for a little game?' Her captor sauntered in holding a hunting knife, followed by his merry band of degenerates. She just glared at him.

"Here's how the game is going to work, I'm going to ask you a few questions and if you answer them correctly everyone wins. Buuuuuuut, if you don't answer correctly, well that's where this comes in."

Stiles pointed at Peter. "That guy." Peter was standing off to the side brooding. Sheriff pulled Stiles off to the side and attempted to whisper, not knowing that Peter could still hear them. " I thought you told me he was a crazy killer?" "Yeah, that was before. But now Scott's wolfy senses say that he's working for the allies this time." Now the Sheriff looked even more confused. "So the only reason we don't think it's him is because Scott's gut says so?"/p

Peter just glared at Stiles./p

The three of them turned around, "Deputy Parrish, yes? What did you find?" "We got a hit on her cell phone, the GPS puts her in an abandoned factory just outside of Beacon Hills." That's the best news Peter's heard all day, "Good let's go." Stiles put a hand on Peter's shoulder to stop him, but the look he got in return made him think better about it. "Hey big guy, maybe you should just stay back and hold down the fort."/p

Soon the police will track your location, and you're little pack of vigilantes will show up to rescue you; well now, we can't have that now can we? So, one last question for the road.
