Stiles and Brie both jumped into his jeep, Stiles offered to give her a ride home.

"It just doesn't make sense," Brie said. "It didn't seemed like a werewolf killed him, you know?"

"Yeah, but who else would it be?" Stiles answered, staring up the car.

"I don't know," Brie sighed. "I mean maybe we aren't the only supernatural things in town."

Stiles didn't answer right away, the jeep filling with silence between them.

"Are you sure your okay?" He finally said, looking over at the blonde girl. "You can talk to me, you know."

"I just..." Brie started. "I mean, if we were a few minutes earlier. I feel so useless, I should've been able to help him."

"Hey," Stiles interrupted her, placing his hand over hers. "Don't do that. Don't blame yourself."

Brie looked over to him. Those eyes again.

"I can't do this anymore, Stiles," she said with a heavy sigh.

"We don't have to anymore," Stiles went on. He wanted to go back to when he was with her. All he cared about was her. "Just say the word, Brie. I'm yours."

"But what about.."

"I don't care if we can never have kids together," he went on, ignoring her. "I don't care if your going to live on to be 1001 while I'm long gone. I just want to be with you right now, in this moment."

Brie opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted by Stiles' phone going off.

He reached down angrily and checked to see who was calling.

"It's Melissa," he said. "We might need to put this conversation on hold."

~~~

It turns out Melissa had something to show them at the hospital, so that's where the two of them went, unsaid words lingering in the air between them.

"Hey," Melissa greeted as the two teens made their way towards the reception where she was working.

"Hey," the replied simultaneously.

"Over here," Melissa said, leading them through the hospital. "And if you tell anyone that I showed you this, I swear to God, I will kill you painfully and slowly."

"Noted," Brie nodded.

"Why do you want to show us a body I've already seen?" Stiles questioned.

"Because you haven't seen everything."

Melissa lead them towards the morgue, avoiding doctors on her way there.

Once they got there, she revealed the body of the dead lifeguard that they found, showing it to the two teens.

"See this around his neck?" she asked, pointing to the open wound on his neck. "That's a ligature mark. That means that he was strangled with something, like cord, rope..."

"Ah, okay, wait a second," Stiles spoke up. "What kind of werewolf strangles someone?"

"Yeah, that doesn't sound very werewolf-y," Brie continued for him.
