Two birds on a wire ~Stiles Stilinski

CALORIE

     It was a little after 10 p.m., and I was sitting in the living room when I heard a honk from outside the door, and a faint "Hurry up," followed behind it. I looked out the window to see Stiles' blue jeep. I smiled to myself and then ran upstairs to grab a blue sweater. Once I got the sweater I left the house as quietly as possible because my parents were sleeping. Once I got to his Jeep Stiles complimented me, "I always thought blue was your color." "Then let me drive your Jeep." Stiles chuckled, "Not a chance Cal." I groaned then got in the back seat, I looked between Scott and Stiles "So... what are we doing exactly? It's late" Stiles turned around excitedly as if he was waiting for me to ask that, and I hate to admit it but that was kinda cute. "I know it's late but you gotta hear this. I saw my dad leave about twenty minutes ago, and dispatch called. They're bringing in every officer from the Beacon department and even state police." I looked at Scott and he just shrugged "For?" "Two joggers found a body in the woods." "A dead body?" Stiles squinted his eyes, "No, a body of water. Yes, dumb ass, a dead body." "How did she die?" "Nobody knows yet. Just that it was a girl, probably in her twenties." Now I'm just confused "Hold up if they found a body then what are they looking for?" Stiles bit his lip slightly "That's the best part. They only found half." I sighed and put my seat belt on "I need to stop hanging around white people." I heard Scott laugh slightly.

     Once we got to the preserve, Stiles instantly jumped out of the Jeep with a flashlight in hand as Scott and I tried to keep up. We slowed down a little, and Scott in-between breaths, said "Are we seriously doing this?" Stiles then rolls his eyes dramatically "You're the one always bitching that nothing ever happens in this town. Besides, it's our last night of summer freedom." I had no part in this conversation but wanted to be included, so why not instigate? "Ooo." Scott ignored my 'ooo' and continued his complaining "I was trying to get a good night's sleep for practice tomorrow." I then looked at Stiles to see what he would say "Right because sitting on the bench is such a grueling effort." I slapped my hand over my mouth "Now me perso-" "No because I'm playing this year. In fact, I'm going to make the starting lineup." Scott said cutting me off. I don't care if I have nothing to do with this conversation, I'm still instigating "Mhmm." Stiles tried to hide his smile when I did that "That's the spirit. Everyone should have a dream. Even a pathetically unrealistic one." I'm flabbergasted. 

     Wait... aren't we here for a body? I decided to stop their bickering and bring it up "Just out of curiosity, which half of the body are we looking for?" Stiles thought for a moment "Huh. I didn't even think about that." I was about to hit him but SCOTT as always stopped me from doing so "And what if whoever killed the girl is still out here?" "Also something I didn't think about." I folded my hands together "I swear I will take that flashlight and shove it so far up your a-" Scott cut me off once again like you wanna be included so bad "Comforting to know you've planned this out with your usual attention to detail." We then started running up the path as Scott's breath began to shorten "Maybe the severe asthmatic should be the one holding the flashlight."

     Stiles slowed down, but not because of Scott. There was yellow police tape marking off an area under floodlights. I froze, I've never liked the police after what they did to my friend Khalil who was innocent. Stiles saw the expression on my face and then grabbed my hand gently rubbing the back of it with his thumb. I looked at him and he smiled at me not moving his hand, I looked down flustered at his sudden movement. I then look back up as I hear a zipper and see a body bag, I didn't see much but I saw two feet assuming that was the second half of the body, Scott was thinking the exact thing when he interrupted my thoughts "Is that the second half of the body?" Stiles shook his head "No, they would have called off the search. Come on."
