Forbidden Hidden Love (Teen Wolf)(Book 2)

Chapter 24

"I got to meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson," Sheriff Stilinski said to Isaac and Scott in the boys locker room. "I've got an APB out on Stiles. His jeep is still in the parking lot, so that means - well, I don't know what that means. Um, look, if he answers his phone, if he answers his emails, if either one of you see him -"

"We'll call you," Isaac said, nodding.

"Look, he's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something. We'll find him," Scott assured the sheriff who nodded.

"Fion is in absolute pieces not knowing where he is. I've never seen her this quiet before. He usually lets at least her know where he is or where he's going. So the fact that she's getting complete radio silence from him is nerve-wracking. For her and for me. I'd better head out. Lydia said that she'd bring her home. But I'll see you later, okay?"

The two nodded as he walked away.

"McCall," Coach said, walking up. "We need you on the team, okay? You know I can't put you on the field next season if you don't get your grades up."

"Yeah, I know, Coach."

"I mean, I-I know I yell a lot, but it's not like I hate you guys. Well, I kind of hate Greenberg, but, you know, that's different. It's Greenberg. I'm just saying we - I need you on the team. Get your grades back up."

"I will."

"I know." Coach walked out of the locker room.

"Is that everyone?" Scott asked, moving away from the locker he had been leaning again. 

Isaac looked around. "I think so. Fi?"

The 16-year-old walked around the door frame and walked further into the locker room as Scott ripped the door off the locker he had been leaning against. "I'm here."

Isaac turned around as Scott took one of Stiles' shirts out of his locker. "You're gonna find him by scent?"

"Yeah, we both are." Scott glanced over at the other Stilinski twin who remained unmoved. "Fi-"

"I'm coming with you, Scott. Stiles is my twin. It's not like him to just disappear. Whether or not he was freaking out from all the attention."

"But how come you get his shirt and I get a shoe?" Isaac asked, interrupting the pair.

Scott didn't answer as he stared past Fionnuala at a certain someone who just entered behind her.

"We need to talk," Derek said before Peter appeared behind him.

"All of us," the older werewolf added.

"What the hell is this?" Scott asked.

"You know, I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the sheriff's station."

"Okay, hold on. He-he threatened to kill my mom. And I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?"

"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one," Peter said. "Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous."

"Shut up," Derek, Scott and Fionnuala told him.

"Who is he?" Isaac asked.

"He's Peter, Derek's uncle. Little while back, he tried to kill us all, and then we set him on fire, and Derek slashed his throat."

"Hi." Peter waved.

"That's good to know," Isaac answered.

"How is he alive?" Scott continued.

"Look, the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson," Derek replied. "And maybe how to save him."

"Well, that's very helpful except Jackson's dead."
