Connections [2]

Illuminated

"So when did you get there?" Agent McCall asked the boys, and Lydia and Jocelyn. Right now we're all down at the station answering some questions about Barrow and then Kira and I have to fill out a police report. Yay.

Anyway, Stiles and Jocelyn tracked my phone and I did end up dropping it, and they found Hartley in distress, but they were able to calm him down. So at the moment he's sleeping next to my feet and growling at anyone who gets close that he's not used to.

"At the same time." Stiles answered.

"At the same time as who?" He asked.

"At the same time as me." Scott said.

"And us." Firass motioned to him and his sister.

"By coincidence?"

"What do you mean coincidence?" Stiles asked him.

"That's what I'm asking you." He said. "The three of you arrived at the same time. Was that by coincidence?"

"Are you asking me?" Scott asked him.

"I think he was asking me." Stiles said.

"I thought he was asking me." Firass said, confused.

"I think he's asking all three of you." Lydia piped up, and I could just see the annoyance on Agent McCall's face.

"Okay, let me answer the questions." He said, and Jocelyn broke next to her brother and I let out a chuckle myself.

"Let me ask the questions." He corrected himself. I look over and see Sheriff Stilinski amused by this whole ordeal.

"Just so I have this absolutely clear. Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill Kira and Casey. Then Barrow took Kira and Casey to a power substation and tied them both up with the intent on electrocuting them, which blacked out the entire town." Agent McCall pretty much summed up for us, besides from a few select details.

"Sounds about right." Jocelyn said.

"How did you know he'd take them to a power station?" He asked.

"Well, 'cause he was an electrical engineer. So where else would he take them?" Stiles said in an obvious tone.

"That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles." He said, not really believing that he could come up with that by himself.

Jackass.

"Yeah, what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement." Stiles winked at his dad and Sheriff Stilinski ended up snorting, causing us all to look at him, and he quickly composed himself, pretending he was coughing.

"Stiles, just, uh... Just answer the man." He told his son.

"We made a good guess." He said.

"What were the two of you doing?" Agent McCall asked Kira and his son.

"Eating pizza."

"Eating sushi."

Scott and Kira both said at the same time and I look at them weirdly. Actually, we all did.

"Eating sushi."

"Eating pizza."

They both said again until they both sighed and said, "Eating sushi and pizza."

"And you, Casey?" He asked me.

"Am I gonna get in trouble?" I asked him right off the bat.

"Not if you don't tell me what exactly you were doing."
