Stiles POV: "Eichen House" Stiles said.
Lydia of course wanted to go to Eichen House right at that moment.
"Lydia Eichen House isn't a library you need a warrant to get files from there" Stiles told her.
"My grandmother left me a list of 10 suicides including her own. There's gotta be a reason why. Is there anyone there who's willing to help us?"
"No but there might be someone willing to take a bribe."
So Stiles drove Lydia over to Eichen House to meet with Brunski.
"A thousand" Brunski told them when they offered a bribe.
"A thousand dollars? To use one little key to open up one little file room? Are you out of your mind?" Stiles asked.
"When you get the keys you make the price" Brunski told them.
"Right you actually think we have that kind of money?"
"I know you don't. If you did Daddy Sheriff would've paid the bill by now. That's why I'm talking to her."
Lydia rolled her eyes and pulled out her wallet.
"I have $500" she tossed the money on his desk.
Then Brunski smiled and put in a tape that said 'play me' on it. But instead of hearing about the dead pool music played.
"Follow me."
They followed Brunski down to records.
"Good?" Brunski asked letting them in.
"Yeah we can help ourselves. Uh Lydia you got the list? Lydia why did you write another name on here?" Stiles asked.
"I didn't write anything."
"This is your handwriting ."
"Why would I write another name?"
"Why would you write mine?" Stiles asked showing her the list.
"It was the tape wasn't it?" Brunski said right before Tasering Stiles.
"Help us! Someone help!" Stiles heard Lydia yelling.
"Lydia there's a lot of people screaming for help in a place like this. I don't think anyone's listening" Stiles said as he tugged against his chains.
"Well I'm open to better ideas because if you didn't notice all those suicides were murders" Lydia said from behind him.
"That's why she left you the message" Stiles said mentally kicking himself for getting caught after promising to Selene he'd be safe.
"She predicted her own death she knew I'd figure it out"
"Once you were able to predict your own" Brunski said coming in with a case small stereo.
"But they weren't murders I'm not some serial killer like Ted Bundy going around cutting up college girls" Brunski continued.
"No you're just an angel of Death" Stiles said.
"I don't think you understand my level of commitment to my work here Stiles. There are people here who don't simply need treatment. They need release. I helped them. I helped Lorraine."
"You killed her" Lydia said softly.
"I helped her. And now you can help me. Because there is something about it that's always bothered me" Brunski told her.
Then he put a tape into the player.
"What are you…? Brunski what are you doing?" Lorraine's voice came from the speakers.
"Don't worry Lorraine it's going to be alright. You're just going to have a little trouble breathing" Brunski's voice answered on the tape.
"Lydia look at me don't listen okay don't listen to it. Just focus on my voice alright. Don't listen to it block it out okay? Lydia? Hey turn it off!" Stiles yelled.
Brunski punched Stiles in the face knocking him over.
"Stop!" Lydia yelled.
"Then listen just listen. I need your help with this Lydia."
"Please don't" Lorraine's voice begged.
"Here it is. This is the part I never understood. Listen" Brunski told Lydia.
"Please don't hurt her."
"Don't hurt who?"
"Ariel" then they listened as Lydia's grandmother stopped breathing.
Stiles had the strangest feeling. It felt like he was running only on all fours and he was pissed very pissed. He found it weird since he was very scared right now. It took him a second to realize it wasn't his feelings it was Selene's and she was coming hard and fast to save them.
Lydia didn't say anything. Brunski got up and walked over to the cabinet and grabbed a small box.
"We get a lot of teenagers trying to break into our drug cabinets. Most of the time they don't succeed. But you two… look pretty clever to me" Brunski said as he pulled out a syringe and a bottle.
Stiles and Lydia started struggling again.
"I'll admit Stiles I don't have any unusual talents like Lydia but somehow I just knew we were gonna get a chance to do this again" Brunski said moving toward him with the needle.
"No" Lydia begged.
Brunski turned to her.
"No no!" Stiles yelled.
"No!" Lydia cried out.
"Drop it! Take you thumb off that needle and slowly withdraw it from her neck" Parrish said rushing in gun drawn.
"Young Deputy. You're just a kid I bet you've never even fired a…" Brunski said until Parrish shot him.
"He… he killed my grandmother. He was controlling Meredith" Lydia said shocked.
"He used her to create the dead pool" Stiles told Parrish.
"And killed her when she tried to help us" Lydia finished.
Suddenly Brunski laughed.
"You… you think… it was me? That I was controlling her? Idiots… she was controlling me" Brunski said then he died.
"Oh god. It's not him. He's not the Benefactor" Lydia said
"No. And… he wasn't on my list. But he was a bad person" Meredith said walking around the cabinets.
Parrish arrested her and when they walked outside a big white wolf was waiting for them.
Selene POV: After Selene called Derek telling him Scott needed help at the bonfire with an assassin she raced toward Eichen House to save Stiles. When he came out with Lydia Parrish and Meredith Selene growled.
Parrish raised his gun at her clearly scared.
"No! Don't shot her" Stiles said getting in front of the gun which made Selene growl again for putting himself in harm's way.
"Stiles that's a wolf" Parrish said like Stiles was crazy.
"I know but she's my wolf" Stiles said.
Then slowly Parrish put the gun down but not away. Stiles unlocked his Jeep and opened the door. Selene jumped in and shifted back and quickly put her spare clothes on.
"Don't worry Deputy I wasn't going to hurt you it was her I wanted" Selene said getting out of the Jeep looking at Meredith.
Parrish was stunned.
"Deputy Parrish my girlfriend and mate Selene" Stiles said smiling.
"We haven't really been introduced especially after you learned what goes bump in the night" Selene said.
"You're a wolf?" Parrish asked.
"It's a long story and I need to get Stiles to the hospital. I felt the punch to your head we're getting you at least checked out" Selene said softly to Stiles before he could object.
"Short version Deputy I'm the first werewolf there ever was I can do things very few others can and somethings no others can" Selene said before getting Stiles in the Jeep and driving him to the doctors.
He had a mild concussion.
"I'm sorry" Stiles said softly.
"For what?" Selene asked.
"For almost being in a situation where I was almost killed."
"I've come to realize I can't always protect you I can't stand in the way of every evil thing that comes at us sometimes I have to trust you to protect yourself... protect me. We're equals in this you're strong and smart and my Alpha male I couldn't be prouder of you I love you."
Stiles smiles and held her hand tight.
"Don't think that doesn't mean I'm not still mad cause I am but in an understanding way" Selene smiles.
"I can live with that" Stiles grinned.
Finally when she took him home they waited to hear from Lydia who went with Parrish to the station to hear what Meredith had to say.
Go figure it had something to do with Peter Hale.
