"Moo like a cow."

"When did you guys get there?" Rafael asks the teens, already dreading asking Charlotte questions.

"At a time." Charlotte replies.

"What time was that?" The FBI agent asks with a sigh.

"Nighttime." The Lynx hums.

"What specific time?" Rafael asks, sending the girl a look.

"Digital time." Charlotte nods.

"Nine o'clock? Ten o'clock?" Rafael asks her.

"How the hell am I supposed to know that? I didn't have a watch." Charlotte scrunches her nose a little, making the adult roll his eyes.

"We got there at the same time." Stiles speaks up.

"At the same time as who?" Rafael asks.

"Same time as me." Scott nods.

"And when did you get there?" Rafael asks the Lynx.

"I got there thinking it was a McDonalds." Charlotte replies with a small shrug.

"Why do I bother asking you questions?" Rafael asks with a huff.

"Because it's your job." Charlotte answers, making Sheriff cover his mouth so he doesn't snicker.

"She was with me." Stiles nods.

"So you all got there by coincidence?" Rafael asks them.

"What do you mean by that?" Stiles asks.

"I mean exactly what I'm asking. The three of you arrived at the same time, was that by coincidence?" Rafael asks them.

"Are you asking me?" Scott asks with furrowed eyebrows.

"No, I think he was asking me." Stiles shakes his head.

"He was definitely asking me." Charlotte nods a little.

"I think he was asking all three of you." Lydia speaks up from next to Kira.

"No." Charlotte gasps, looking at her best friend with wide eyes.

"Okay, let me answer the questions." Rafael speaks up, his tone frustrated.

"Okay. Why are you such a dick?" Charlotte asks with a mock curious expression.

"Arlo." Sheriff sends her a look.

"Sorry." The Lynx smiles.

"Let me ask the questions. Just so I'm absolutely clear." Rafael nods, standing up.

"Oh, here we go." Stiles and Charlotte mutter, their heads falling to the back of the couch.

"Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school and someone left him a coded message on the board telling him to kill Kira. Then, Barrow took Kira to the power substation, tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blanked out her whole town?" Rafael asks them.

"Sounds about right." Stiles nods.

"That's an A on that test. Well done." Charlotte sends him a sarcastic smile.

"How did you guys know he'd take her to the power station?" The FBI agent asks.

"Because he was an electrical engineer. So, where else would he take her?"

"Look at that. A day's job done in two seconds. Looks like you need to do more training, Mr. FBI douchebag." Charlotte again smiles at Rafael sarcastically.
