"I would be a murderer if he was still living."

"Oh- what the hell is this?" Sheriff asks with a disgusted groan after he bites into his burger.

"It's a Veggie burger." Stiles smiles.

"Now that explanation, is an amazing motive to shoot him." Charlotte nods, smiling widely when she eats her Chicken Nuggets.

"Stiles, I asked for a Hamburger. And yes, Arlo, it is." Sheriff nods at the two teens, who smile at him back.

"Well, veggie is healthier and we're being healthy." Stiles hums, making Sheriff turn to Charlotte, who is dancing a little in her seat as she eats the nuggets.

"Oh, I don't count." Charlotte waves off, making Sheriff furrow his eyebrows a little.

"Are you both trying to ruin my life?" Sheriff asks them.

"I'm trying to extend your life." Stiles corrects.

"What the hell did I do?" Charlotte asks in confusion, sipping on her drink.

"Rubbing it in my face that you get to eat chicken nuggets." Sheriff playfully glares at her, making Charlotte smirk.

"And I will continue to do so." Charlotte nods, eating a mother nugget, making Sheriff look at her blankly.

"Can you just eat the burger, please?" Stiles asks before he looks away, making the adult sigh.

Suddenly, Charlotte is sliding something over to the Sheriff, who catches it and looks up at her in confusion.

Charlotte mouths at him to open it, making him look down and quietly open the packaging, revealing a cheeseburger.

Sheriff quickly wraps it back up and puts it in his own bag with his food, sending Charlotte a happy smile.

They quickly look away from each other when Stiles turns back to them, making Stiles look between his dad and best friend with squinted eyes.

When he turns back to Charlotte, he sees her gesturing her head to the board behind the Sheriff, hoping to distract him and not let him find out about the secret burger.

"Oh, dad. Can you tell us what you found?" Stiles asks, allowing Charlotte to let out a quiet sigh of relief.

"No. I'm not sharing confidential police work with a couple of teenagers-" Sheriff starts with a scoff, making Charlotte turn to him blankly.

"I'll take my food back then." Charlotte holds her hand out towards Sheriff, who playfully glares at her.

"You wouldn't dare." Sheriff mutters.

"What you gonna do? Shoot me? Arrest me?" Charlotte asks with an amused smile, making the adult playfully roll his eyes.

"I'll tell Lydia you like her." Sheriff shrugs, making Charlotte's eyes widen.

"How do you even-" Charlotte goes to ask before her face goes blank.

She slowly turns to Stiles, who makes no intention of looking or speaking to her at them moment.

"Well played, old man. Well played." Charlotte nods, turning back to the adult, making the Sheriff chuckle and ruffle her hair.

Charlotte's eyebrows furrow a little, her eyes crossing as they look up towards her hair.

"Just show us what you have on the board behind you." Stiles tells his dad after he stops chuckling because of Charlotte's confused face.

"Do not look at that..." Sheriff trails awkwardly, instantly making Charlotte turn her body towards the board.
