Crazy About You - Lydia Martin

| 09 |

Gabriela practically skipped through the doors to the sheriff's station, carrying Lottie in her arms as she did so. The puppy, although not looking too happy about her current situation, allowed the Pérez girl to hold her and even licked her hand a couple of times.

Oliver walked behind his sister, an amused snicker leaving his lips when she didn't waste a second in showing off the golden retriever to anyone who spared her a glance. He carried a bag of take-out food for his sister in his hands, knowing she had a late shift and probably wouldn't eat otherwise.

Sofía peered out of Noah's office when she spotted them, grinning wildly as she opened her arms for them. "Oh, my favorite sibling bringing me food in my time of need. Mis salvadoras." she dramatically said, tugging them into a bone-crushing hug.

Oliver chuckled, extending the bag to his older sister. "We thought you'd need something to keep you energized." he nodded toward the bag. "There are curly fries for Noah as well, I know how Stiles is torturing him with all that healthy shit."

Despite hitting the back of his head at the curse word, Sofía smiled, kissing his temple. "How thoughtful of you. Thank you, Ollie." she opened the bag, moaning as the smell infiltrated her nostrils. "Oh, God. I'm in heaven."

Gabriela wrinkled her nose up in disgust, shuddering at the sound her sister made. "You're lucky you're respected here, Sof. Otherwise, you'd be bullied mercilessly after making that sound in public," she stated, letting Lottie walk freely around the station.

The golden retriever puppy wasted no time in walking over to Sofía, her tail wagging wildly in happiness. Lottie nudged the older Pérez with her nose, a small smile spreading over the woman's lips as she crouched down to pet her head.

"Hi, darling. How's my sweet girl doing today?" Sofía cooed, laughing when Lottie started playfully chewing on her fingers.

Oliver rolled his eyes at the scene. "And you were the one who didn't want to keep her."

(Translation: Mis salvadoras = My saviors)

On the ride back home, Oliver received a call from Scott. He furrowed his brows, answering it almost immediately in worry. "Hey, Scott. You okay?" Gabriela perked up in her seat at the McCall boy's name, forcing her gaze away from the sketchbook in her lap.

"Hey, man. Could you meet me and Stiles at the school? I talked to Derek and he told me what to do in order to remember what happened last night." Scott explained, wafting Stiles' hand away when he tried to snatch the phone.

The Stilinski boy rolled his eyes dramatically. "Take the back way!" he yelled, Oliver wincing slightly as he brought the phone away from his ear.

"I would've heard you just fine without your screaming, Stiles," he commented, annoyed. Oliver glanced back at his sister. "You up for some breaking and entering?" he asked, Gabriela instantly smirking as she nodded.

"Always." she grinned a toothy grin.

Oliver chuckled, bringing his attention back to the road. "We'll be there in five."

Oliver slowed the car to a stop next to Stiles' jeep, the headlight shining straight into Scott and Stiles' eyes. He turned the key in the ignition quickly, killing the engine along with the lights. Gabriela practically pounced out of the car, cracking her fingers eagerly.

Scott and Stiles met the Pérez siblings by the cars, the former of the two smiling in gratitude. "Thanks for coming, guys. I know you probably had plans or something." the McCall boy apologized, earning a snort from Gabriela.
