Chapter Seventy Nine: ( it's not over yet )
Soon after Noshiko and Kira left, Scott, Stiles and Annabeth figured they should take a trip to the police station. They needed to share some information with him, but mostly, it was because Stiles really needed to see his dad. The last time that he saw him was the night that he dropped him off at Eichen House, and then the other time... he wasn't himself. It was about time that Noah saw his son as... himself again.
When the three of them walked into the police station, Jordan Parrish was just leaving the sheriff's office. He gave them a nod in greeting before walking past, as they walked to the threshold, she heard Noah mumbling something about how he needed to find his keys. She glanced at Stiles and they locked eyes, then she gave him a small nudge forward.
"In your coffee cup." Stiles spoke, Noah turned to face at him, his blue eyes wide in surprise as he looked at him. "You always drop them in your empty cup."
Noah glanced at she and Scott, giving them a questioning look. The two shared a look of their own, they knew what he was thinking. And they were happy to nod at him, letting him know that, yes, Stiles is himself. The older man wasted no time as he dropped his jacket and rushed around his desk to hug his son who met him halfway. Father and son come together for a long overdue embrace, Anna and Scott smiled softly at the exchange, warmth filling both of their chest.
"Oh." Stiles chuckles, rocking from the force of the hug. "Hey, Dad."
Once they part, Noah looks at Anna and Scott. "Is it over?"
"No." Anna glanced down at her feet, wrapping her arms around herself.
Scott picked up the keys from the coffee cup, they jingle in his hand. "Not yet."
Noah raised his brows, "What the hell happened now?"
Annabeth looks over at Scott, he gives her nod and she opens her mouth to speak. "He's got her. The Nogitsune, he has Lydia."
"We came for your help." Scott tells him, "We don't know where he's taken her."
Noah grits his teeth, "What does that son of a bitch look like? We can see if anyone has seen him."
"Well, kind of like, a carbon copy of me." Stiles responds, "He like... came out of me and took my physical form. It sounds awesome but, it kind of feels like I'm dying so, that part? Not so awesome."
Noah pinched the bridge of his nose, Anna could tell all this information was getting to him. "Did he run with Lydia or did they take a car or—"
