Chapter Fifty-Six
💰 Time Of Death 💰

"Is three enough?" Kira asked as she, Scott, Stiles, Sawyer and Liam stood around the table with three laptops in front of them. "Depends on how many cameras they have... But I think so." Stiles said and Liam looked up at everyone, "Are we really doing this?" 

"We're doing it- tonight." Scott said, nodding, making Liam sigh slightly, "But isn't it kind of dangerous?" Liam asked worriedly and Sawyer nodded. "It's incredibly dangerous and borderline idiotic." Sawyer said, "Have you guys done something like this before?" He asked 

"Something dangerous? Or something idiotic?" Stiles and Sawyer both asked, "I think it's a 'yes' to both..." Kira said, making Liam look at her and take a deep breath. "You don't have to be part of it if you don't want to." Scott said, making Liam look over at him, "I'm not scared!" 

"Then you're borderline idiotic." Stiles said as he patted his shoulder, "If we do this, we don't know what's coming for us. You know that, right?" Stiles asked and Kira sighed. "How do we know something's definitely coming?" 

"Because the tape from Garrett's bag said visual confirmation required." Scott said and Sawyer nodded, "Simon said the same thing- he couldn't get paid by the Benefactor until he had proof that you guys were dead." She said. "So, the idea is... What if you kill someone on the Deadpool, but you can't send the proof?" Scott said and Kira nodded, "You don't get paid." She said. 

"But how does that get us any closer to the Benefactor?" Liam asked, glancing at all of them, "He still needs to know if the target is really dead." Scott said and Stiles nodded. "Especially if it's someone high on the list." He said and Liam raised his eyebrows slightly, "So, if he wants visual confirmation..." 

"He's going to have to come himself."

Melissa walked into the morgue, still wiping tears away, "I still hate this plan. I mean, this is pretty significantly terrifying- he looks dead." Melissa said as she walked up to where Scott's body laid on a metal tray, Stiles, Sawyer, Kira, Liam and Noshiko standing around him. 

"Give me your hand." Noshiko said holding her hand out and Melissa looked over at Stiles and Sawyer who both nodded, "It's okay." They whispered and Melissa nodded and held her hand out. Noshiko grabbed it and held it down to Scott's chest, "Wait for it." She said and then a moment later Melissa felt Scott's head beat making her sigh in relief. 

"Is that enough to keep a Werewolf alive?" Melissa asked in a slight whisper, "Enough for an Alpha." Noshiko said, nodding. "How much time do we have?" Melissa asked looking up at everyone, "Forty-five minutes." 

"What happens after that?" 

"I bring him back the same way." Kira said and Melissa shook her head, "No, I mean, what happens if he stays like this longer than forty-five minutes?" Melissa asked, making them all glance at each other while Noshiko looked at them. "No one told her?" She asked making Melissa look at her, "What? What happens after forty-five minutes?" Melissa asked and Noshiko sighed. 

"He dies."

Sawyer, Stiles, Kira and Liam stood next to a hospital bed with the three laptops in front of them. "Try it now." Argent said over the phone and Sawyer pressed a button in the middle laptop and soon enough each laptop showed the live footage of all the hospital cameras. 

"Is that supposed to look like that?" Liam asked after a few minutes making them look over at one of the cameras to see it glitching out before going dark. "No. No, it's not..." Stiles said, "Where is that?" Kira asked. 

"The roof. Someone's gonna have to go check it out." Sawyer said as she looked at the screen, "I'll go." Kira said, making Stiles look at her. "Whoa, whoa... This might not just be a malfunction." Stiles said and Sawyer nodded in agreement. 

"That's why I'm bringing this." Kira said, holding up her katana. She ran off, making Liam follow her, "I'm coming with you!" He said and they ran out of the room. "Okay... And you're both coming right back! Immediately!" Stiles called out, "Kids." He and Sawyer both mumbled. 

A few minutes later Sawyer looked up from her watch right as all the cameras went dark making her eyes widen. "What the hell-" She mumbled, pressing on one of the buttons but nothing happened making her turn to Stiles. "We should probably go to the morgue right?" He asked looking over at her and she nodded before they ran out the room. 

They ran down the hall and were about to turn the corner only for Sawyer to get a gun pointed at her. "What the hell man? Thank god you're not trigger happy." She said and Argent quickly lowered it, "Sorry." He said and she nodded. "The power's out in the whole building. We lost all the cameras." Stiles said and Argent nodded slightly. "Stay with Scott. Text me if you see or hear anything." He said and they nodded before running off. 

They made it to the morgue and Sawyer leaned against the medal door that Scott laid behind while Stiles started pacing anxiously. A few seconds later he pulled his phone out to call someone. "Come on, come on... Answer the phone... Answer the phone, Argent! Come on, Argent, answer the phone... Why are you not answering the phone?" Stiles muttered and suddenly Argent came flying through the double doors, groaning as he hit the ground. 

"I was right. Guys, get out of here!" He yelled but before they could even move Kate walked in making Sawyer instantly grab her brother's arm, pulling him back. "Get out of the way. I'm taking the body." She said and Sawyer just raised her eyebrows.

"Visual confirmation?" She asked and Kate chuckled, "Don't worry, sweetheart, I'm not the Benefactor." Kate said, stepping closer to them. "Then what do you want with the body?" Argent asked, "I wish I could tell you." Kate said and suddenly Argent surged forward, pressing a gun under her chin. 

"I always forget you carry two." She chuckled, "Back off!" Argent demanded and Kate chuckled, "You sure you can pull the trigger fast enough?" Kate taunted. "I don't want to." Argent said and Kate shook her head slightly, "You're not going to kill me." She said. 

"I'm not going to let you take his body." 

"Okay, well... obviously, you guys have a lot to talk about... So, maybe I saw some coffee, a vending machine, outside...?" Stiles said, making Sawyer pinch his arm. "Listen to me, Kate- we have a plan." Argent said, "If killing Scott was part of it, you're worse than me." Kate said and Sawyer raised her eyebrows. 

"He's telling the truth- we're trying to get to the Benefactor." Stiles spoke up, making her glance at him, "If you didn't notice, you're on that list, too and you're worth more than most." Sawyer asked and Kate nodded slightly. "That's why I'm here." She said. 

"Then back off and let us do what we planned." Argent said and Kate looked down at his wrist that she was holding that showed a countdown of three minutes. "Take the Berserkers and go. Kate, please. We have a plan." Argent almost begged. Kate stared at him for a second before slowly backing away and walking out the room making them sigh in relief. 

A few seconds later Kira came running in and they pulled Scott out and Kira placed her hand over his chest. He woke up with a loud yell and gasp making everyone sigh in relief before Kira pulled him onto a kiss. "What happened? Did it work?" He asked after they pulled away and everyone glanced just glanced at each other. 

Suddenly Liam ran in, looking directly at Kira, "What?" She asked. "It's your mother... She's hurt..."
