Leave Me In Ruins

It's not him

The sheriff's station was silent as Noah and the pack filed inside. Noah had most of the deputies doing search and rescue, hoping for some clue as to the whereabouts of their missing people.

"The only reason you are here is to give a statement, do you understand?" Noah turned to a pale Stiles. Derek's arm was wrapped around his waist to help support him.

"I wanna know who did this," Stiles argued.

"I have Deputy Hagen at the club getting me security footage from tonight. I have Deputy Parker bringing in this Adrian guy and—"

"Wait, what?" Stiles stopped walking, causing Derek's balance to falter at the sudden stop. "Why are you bringing in Adrian?"

Noah slid his badge through the key card reader to his office. It beeped loudly in the silent station.

"He knew one of the other victims, and he was with you tonight. That ties him to two cases."

"I can pay him a visit if you'd like," Malia growled, her eyes flashing their beta blue color.

"No," Stiles snapped. "Adrian didn't do this."

"I know you want to trust him, but you gotta admit it's suspicious." Scott put a comforting hand on Stiles' shoulder.

Stiles jerked away from the touch. "I'm telling you it's not him. I trust Adrian. If it was him, it's too sloppy. We were with other people, and even more people knew I was with him." He shook his head.

"They always make mistakes, son," Noah said.

"He's not supernatural." Stiles threw his hand up, causing himself to waver in place. The dizziness was still very much present.

"We don't know that the kidnappings are supernatural." Allison looked up from her phone to Noah. "My dad says they still haven't found anything."

"Tell them to do another ten minutes and then call it a night," Noah said.

Stiles clenched his jaw. Why wasn't anyone listening to him?

Derek helped lead Stiles into Noah's office.

"You believe me, right Derek?" Stiles asked, taking a seat. He looked up at Derek with tired, frustrated eyes.

Derek swallowed, glancing at Noah and the others. "I believe you don't have to be supernatural to be dangerous."

Stiles pulled from Derek's gentle grasp. He had thought for sure Derek would side with him.

"I'm just saying it's better safe than sorry."

"It's not him."

The sound of the station door opening pulled everyone's attention.

Kai held the door while Morgan, Angela, and Danny were ushered inside.

"Danny." Stiles pushed from his seat and nearly toppled over.

"Whoa, easy." Derek caught his arm.

Stiles pulled away and pushed past the other pack members to get to the group that just entered.

"Stiles." Angela rushed forward and gripped him in a tight hug.

"Whoa, hey, what's wrong?" Stiles wrapped a weak arm around Angela. His stomach rolled.

"Are you okay? The deputy was asking all these questions, and he said you were drugged and— I don't know what's going on," Angela rattled quickly. Her eyes darted to the group behind Stiles.

"Where's Adrian?" Stiles asked, pulling back.

Angela pursed her lips and glanced at Morgan.

Morgan wore a frown. "He text us saying he was leaving with you."
