XII
Leo sat in the back of Stiles Jeep despite the owners complaints to Scott saying the werewolf is the one that's supposed to be in the back now. The genius teenager ignored them as he cleaned himself up the best he could with the small aid kit Stiles kept in the back.
"Maybe you should just try to get some rest" Stiles suggested.
"Stiles" Leo said with a warning tone.
"Right. Okay" Stiles nodded sheepishly.
The boys were chasing after Derek and the kanima in the Jeep. Somehow, it was difficult to keep up with a werewolf and oversized lizard that ran faster than Leo initially thought they could. Stiles suddenly came to a complete stop, tires screeching, as a gate blocked their way along with a spike strip.
"What do we do now?"
With no response, Scott was out of the Jeep within a second and taking off on foot.
"The disrespect" Leo mumbled.

Scott stood on the side of a building looking at the people waiting in line to go in. No one was able to see him unless they were actually looking for him so when Leo and Stiles appeared beside him out of no where, the werewolf jumped in fear.
"Holy cr-!"
"Wha-sorry, I'm sorry. Did you see where he went?" Stiles questioned as Leo stood behind him, observing the place himself trying to figure out why it looked familiar.
"I lost him" Scott announced.
"What?" Stiles exclaimed at the same time Leo exclaimed, "You lost a six foot gecko?"
"You couldn't catch his scent?"
"I don't think he has one" Scott replied back to his best friends question.
"All right, any clue where he's going?" Stiles asked another.
"To kill someone" both Scott and Leo answered this time.
"Ah. That explains the claws, and the fangs, and all that. Good. Makes perfect sense now" Stiles sarcastically replied earning an annoyed look from Scott while Leo stifled a giggle. "What? Scott, come on. I'm 147 pounds of pale skin and fragile bone, okay? Sarcasm is my only defense"
"Iconic" Leo shrugged, impressed by the reasoning Stiles gave.
"Just help me find it"
"Not 'it'. Jackson" Leo glared. Whether it came off as rude or defensive, he really didn't mean to sound so aggressive. This just put him in an odd place seeing as everybody wanted to stop the kanima who was his best friend.
"Yeah, I know. I - I know. Sorry" Scott replied.
"All right, but does he know that? Did anybody else see him back at your house?" Stiles questioned further.
"I mean, I don't think so, but he already passed Derek's test anyway" Scott told him.
"Yeah, but that's just the thing. How did he pass the test?" Stiles asked the million dollar question.
"I don't know"
"Maybe it's like an either - or thing. I mean, Derek said that a snake can't be poisoned by its own venom, right?" Stiles continued.
"When's the kanima not the kanima?" Leo whispered as Stiles voiced it louder.
"When it's Jackson" Scott answered.
Stiles tapped Leo's shoulder repetitively also catching Scott's attention. "Uh- dude. See that?" He asked looking up.
"He's inside" Scott realized as they watched the tail swing inside a window.
