My Best Friend The Werewolf

Stake Out

They don't end up patrolling. Instead, they grab burritos and head for Flinn's house. Eli wanting to be the ones who staked it out considering it was his idea.

When they approach they see a rather large shadow sitting up on the roof of the opposite house. They head over.

"Hey," Toby says leaning over the edge of the roof, waving down at them. Aaarrrgghh peering over as well.

"Hey tell the big guy to catch," Steve says and Eli looks at him confused before his suddenly being picked up and thrown.

He doesn't even have time to think as he clutches the bag of burritos to his chest and he lets out a rather unmanly scream. Only for something to snatch him rather gently out of the air. He looks up to see Aaarrrgghh smiling down at him with giant teeth.

"Gotcha" Aaarrrgghh rumbles.

Eli scrambles from the large troll's hand nodding in thanks before looking over the edge of the building

"You good Peps?" Steve asks looking up at him, a stupid smile on his face.

"Yeah just next time, maybe a little warning would be appreciated," He says adjusting his glasses.

"How are you gonna get u...ahh never mind," Toby says cutting himself off when Steve steps back a few steps before taking a small leap.

He catches onto the roof and hoists himself up easily. Not an ounce of struggle on his face.

"If I had warned you, you would have said no," Steve says with a shrug once his on his feet.

"Well, either way, what are you two doing here?" Jim asks from where he was sitting, one eye still on Flinn's house. One of his Glaives in his hands, twisting it over and over.

"Steve got antsy and I thought you three could do with a break. I know for on that Blinky's been missing Aaarrrgghh, Claire told me" Eli says with a shrug.

Aaarrrgghh nods.

"Missed Blinky" He states dragging one of his fingers across the roof.

"I know Wingman. How about you go and surprise Blinky and me and Jim will go finish our English essays" Toby says patting the troll on the arm.

Jim nods and stands.

"You sure you two got this covered?" He asks, stern. Eyes looking over them cautiously.

It was times like this that Eli truly noticed the darkness in Jim's eyes. Everything his seen sitting at the forefront of his brain. How grown up Jim had been before all this Trollhunter stuff and now he looked like a man who has seen way too much.

"Yeah, we got this covered Lake. What's the worst that's gonna happen, we'll be struck by lightning?" Steve asks cocking an eyebrow.

"Alright well call if anything changes," Jim says before Aaarrrgghh picks both him and Toby up and lowers them all out of sight.

Eli watches them creep out the back of the yard, Aaarrrgghh lifting them over the back fence before jumping over himself and disappearing into the night.

Steve sighs and slumps down onto the roof.

"Pass me a burrito. I'm starving" He says and Eli nods sitting down beside him and opening the bag.

He hands Steve's over and watches as Steve tears into the first one gleefully.

"Can you hear Flinn?" Eli asks unwrapping his own single one.

"I can hear the Wangs three streets over fighting about Mary. I think I got Flinn covered. His just playing COD" Steve says with a mouthful of food.
