Tyler is about to leave the Lockwood mansion when his mom comes out from the sitting room.
"Heading out?" She asks.
"Yeah...lunch at the grill, I've got practice and I'll probably go out after. I'll be late." Tyler admits.
"Why don't you take Stiles out for lunch, I know he has missed hanging out with you." Carol says.
"Mom..." Tyler says before being interrupted by a knock at the door.
Tyler walks over and opens the door.
"Hi" A woman says.
"Hi" Tyler says back.
"...sorry. Rude. You have no idea who I am. I'm Jules, a friend of Mason's from Florida. You must be Tyler." The woman, Jules introduces herself.
"Yeah. Nice to meet you." Tyler says.
"So, I know it's weird for me to just stop by but I'm trying to track down Mason." Jules explains.
"Mason's back in Florida. He has been for a while now." Tyler hears his mom say from behind him.
"See...that's the thing...he's not."

"So, you'll call me as soon as you hear anything?" Stiles hears a strange woman's voice ask.
"Of course." He can hear Carol say as he walks down the stairs.
"Oh, I didn't get to say goodbye to your son." Stiles can see the woman now.
"I'm afraid he's at the grill with his friends. I'll let him know. Oh, but here is Stiles my nephew." Carol says as she spots Stiles at the bottom of the stairs.
"Morning Carol. Hello I'm Stiles." Stiles states as he reaches out to shake the woman's hand. The woman shakes his hand and breathes in deeply.
"Stiles this is Jules, she has come here looking for Mason apparently, he didn't make it back to Florida.
"What." Stiles asks. While he and Mason ended up on rocky terms Stiles liked Mason at first. He managed to make both Tyler and Stiles laugh.
"I'm sure he's fine. Jules...let's hope for the best. Stiles would you mind walking Jules to her car?" Carol questions.
"No problem." Stiles agrees.
Stiles opens the front door for Jules and walks her over to her car.
"Stiles, was it?" Jules asks.
"Yes." Stiles says before Jules turns around to face him and flashes her eyes at him. Stiles can feel his eyes flash back as his vision momentarily shifts.
"What are you?" Jules asks while smirking.
"Excuse me." Stiles chokes out before quickly making his way inside. He manages to make it back to his bedroom before the panic attack hits.
Stiles breathing gets short and rushed while his body shakes, and his legs give out from underneath him.
