Season 2

Stiles laid on the hospital chairs, asleep while speaking to himself. "Ohh - Just like that. No, no, you first. Me first?"

Mr. Martin stepped out of the room and noticed Stiles. "He's been here all night? Which one is he here for?"

"He's been here all weekend," Melissa replied. "He is here for both, but mostly Tabitha, I think."

"You're dirty," Stiles said.

"And how is Tabitha?" Mr. Martin asked.

"Uh, she woke up a short while ago, but passed out again. Her doctor is with her. Excuse me."

"Paging Dr. Stateman. Dr. Stateman, please."

Stiles jolted awake and tried to get a Reese's from the vending machine, and subconsciously, something for Tabitha as well.

"Seriously?" Stiles asked. "Come - Just - Gah! It's not going to work. Whoa!" The vending machine fell to the ground.

Lydia let out a loud scream. Scott hear from miles away, and Tabitha shot up and quickly left her room.

Stiles ran to Lydia and Tabitha's rooms. "Lydia? Tabi? Lydia! Tabitha!"

"What the hell was that?" Melissa and Micah wondered.

"Lydia? Tabitha?" Stiles called again.

Stiles looked out the open window, showing the nearly full moon. He ran to Tabitha's room to see her bed empty and frowned.

Sheriff Stilinski and Robin were called in and the former said, "Naked? As in nude? Possibly just underclothes?"

"I'm pretty sure they mean the same thing, but, yes, as far as we know, they left here clothing-optional and street clothes-optional."

"All right, you checked the whole hospital, right?" Robin questioned. "Nothing suspicious?"

"Nothing. They just took off."

"All right, let's get an APB out on two 16-year-old redheads," the sheriff said. "Any other descriptors?"

"5'3, green eyes, fair-skinned, and her hair is actually strawberry blonde. 5'2, blue eyes, fair skin with freckles on her face and her hair is ginger red," Stiles said.

"Is that right?"

"Yeah."

"Uh - come here." He grabbed his son's ear. "What the hell are you still doing here?"

"Um, providing moral support?"

"Uh-huh. How 'bout you provide your ass back home, where you should be."

"Okay, I can do that too."

"Yeah."

"Mm."

"We're gonna find them, so don't worry."

Stiles grabbed the hospital gowns and held them up to Scott. "These are the ones they were just wearing? I'm not gonna let anymore hurt them. Not again."

"All right, just shove the things in your face and let's find them," Stiles retorted and someone else appeared. "Wow!"

"What are you doing here? Someone's gonna see us."

"I don't care - she's my best friend, Tabitha's not, but she's sort of an acquaintance, and we need to find them before they do," Allison replied.

"I can find them before the cops can."

"How about before my father does?"

"He knows?"

"Yeah. I just saw him and three other guys leave my house in two SUVs."
