Finding Our Way

Chapter Two

"See ya tonight." Stiles walks into his house, and Scott continues walking down the sidewalk to his house. He opens the door and kicks off his shoes, "Mom, I'm home." Melissa rushes into the kitchen, dressed in her scrubs with a bag tossed over her shoulder, "Hey honey," She smiles, "Have you seen my keys? I'm gonna be late." She frantically searches the counter. "They're in your hand." Scott laughs, "Oh," Melissa sighs, smiling. "I'd lose my head if it wasn't for you... Stiles and Kat coming over tonight?" She rummages through her bag. "Yeah, they'll be here in an hour." Scott leans on the counter, looking at his mom. "Okay, you kids be safe, okay? There is food in the fridge if anyone gets hungry, and make sure you lock the door and do-" 

"Don't answer the phone, I know Mom, now get going you're gonna be late." Melissa kisses Scotts' forehead and makes her way out of the front door.

Scott makes his way up the stairs to his bedroom.

Scott: "You guys on your way?"

Stiles: "Yeah, shortly. Helping Dad with something, I'll text when I'm omw."

Kat: "Just grabbing some things, and I'm headed out the door."

Scott: "Okay, I'm going to take a quick shower, just come on in when you get here."

Stiles: "Okay."

Kat: "Okie doke."

Kat grabs the things she needs and goes to the kitchen, she pulls out a sticky notepad and a pen. "Dad, I'm with Scott and Stiles, be home later tonight. Love Kat." She sticks the note to the fridge and grabs her things. She heads out the front door, locking it behind her, and starts walking to Scotts'.

Stiles: "Leaving now."

Kat: "Me too."

"Kat!" Stiles called from his porch, "Wait up." He jogs to catch up with her. "Hey, Meech." Stiles glares at her, Kat knows how much he hates that nickname. "Fancy seeing you here." He smiles.

Kat gives him an odd look, "What's got you so chipper?" She asks, laughing slightly at the sudden pep in his step. "I overheard one of Dad's calls." Kat rolls her eyes, "You need to stop eavesdropping on your dad's calls."

Stiles shoves her slightly, "This one is a crazy thought!" He suddenly lowers his voice, "Two joggers found a body in the woods!"

Kats' eyes widen, "A body? A dead body?" Stiles looks at her, "No, a body of water. Yes, dumbass. A dead body." "Woah, woah. Stop talking until we get to Scotts' he's going to want to hear this too."

Kat and Stiles start sprinting when Scotts' house comes into view. They bolt through the front door and up the stairs. "Scott, you in there!" Stiles knocks at Scotts' door. "We have crazy news! Open up!"

Scott opens his bedroom door, he has a towel wrapped around his waist. "Can it wait 'til I'm dressed?" Kat rolls her eyes, "I guess it can."

A few minutes later Scott opens his door again and lets Stiles and Kat in. "Okay, what's the crazy news!"

"Two joggers found a body in the woods!" Kat and Stiles yell together. Scotts' eyes widen, "A dead body!"

"Yes! Dispatch called, they're bringing in every officer, and even state police!"

Kat and Scott look at Stiles, "Wait, if they already found the body then what are they looking for?" "That's the best part." Stiles' face lights up like a glow stick and he rocks back and forth on his feet. "They only found half... we're going."
