"So the Walcott's were the first... at least, the first we know about. Four murders-Sean, his brother, and their parents. They were killed by a professional assassin called the Mute, weapon of choice, a military tomahawk. But then, the Mute was killed by Peter Hale after he tried to blow up Derek, Lia and Zander with a claymore mine. Next was Demarco. He delivered a keg to the party at Lydia's lake house... and got decapitated outside his car. And then, last night, twenty-three-year-old Carrie Hudson." Stiles explained as they stood around Stilinski's desk at the station looking at pictures from the murders.

"It's a Deadpool-- a hit-list of supernatural creatures." Scott said pulling out a piece of paper, "This is only part of it... The rest still has to be decoded."

"Who found this list?" Stilinski asked.

"Lydia." Amelia answered making Stilinski sigh.

"How?" He asked.

"She wrote it... Actually, she transcribed it... without realizing it.." Stiles said.

"Banshee?"

"Banshee."

"Beautiful. All right, what are these numbers next to the names?" Stilinski asked.

"We're getting to that. First, you need to know that the code was broken with a cipher key." Stiles explained.

"Wait... You mean, like, a... like a key word?"

"Actually a name." Zander said glancing over at Scott.

"Allison." He said in a slight whisper.

"Her name broke a third of the list." Amelia said after a few seconds of silence.

"And now we think there's two other cipher keys." Scott said.

Stilinski nodded, "Which will give us the rest of the names. Okay... So, how do we get the cipher keys?"

"Same way we got the code."

"Lydia. She's been at the lake house all weekend, trying to find the other two key words." Zander explained.

"You didn't know about Demarco or Carrie? And what about these other two names on the list- uh, Kayleen Bettcher and Elias Town? They're Werewolves, too?" Stilinski asked.

"I don't know... But Deaton said that the Nemeton would draw supernatural creatures here."

"Here being Beacon Hills, or Beacon County? The population of Beacon Hills is just under thirty-thouand- " Stilinski explained.

"-And dropping." Stiles added making his father give him a look.

"But, if we're talking Beacon County, then you're looking at close to five hundred thousand. Look, how many Werewolves, Banshees, Kitsunes and whatever the hell else is out there are we talking about? And what if the next cipher key uncovers not twelve names, but one hundred?"
