She had no clue where Stiles had gone and when Scott asked she just sighed and shrugged before going back to her homework. She glanced up when someone was fastly approaching, turning her head just in time for Stiles to slam two pieces of paper down in front of Scott.

Scott pulled the papers closer. "So you found something?"

Stiles nodded. "Another signature." He pointed at one paper. "This is Theo's dads signature on a speeding ticket from eight years ago." He pointed at the other. And this is his dads signature on a transfer form to Beacon Hills high School from just a few days ago."

Kira frowned. "How did you get his transfer form?"

"Did you break into the administration office?" Scott asked.

Stiles closed his eyes. "No I did not break into the administration office." Elaine rose a brow and he sighed. "Okay, I might have broken into the administration office. Can we just focus on the signatures, please?"

The four of them looked at the two signatures. Malia said, "They're sort of different."

"They're completely different. Come on. Look." Stiles began pointing out the differences. "The garlands don't match, the undulations of the sinuous stroke are totally off. And look, look at this." He pointed to a specific cursive. "Perfect example of the Criminal Tremor."

"So now, Theo is Theo, but his parents aren't his parents?" Kira asked, squinting her eyes as her brows furrowed.

"Someone's not someone." Stiles answered. "And when I figure out who that someone really is, someone's in big trouble."

"That was a lot of someone's in one sentence." Elaine mumbled. Stiles gave her an exasperated look.

Scott frowned. "But no one's done anything wrong."

"Yet." Stiles hissed. "If Theo's parents are both psychotic killers then obviously, we should not trust him, right?" Elaine winced at his words.

"My parents are Peter Hale and the Desert Wolf." Malia said and Elaine closed her eyes, sighing through her nose.

"Okay. . ." Stiles sighed, rubbing his forehead. "It's fine. You know what?" He grabbed the papers. "I'll just figure it out myself. Right? I don't need you, or you, or you." He pointed at Scott, Kira, and Malia and when he got to Elaine he hesitate before firmly nodding to himself. "Or you. I don't need anyone!" He walked away.

Elaine pursed her lips. "I should. . . I should probably go after him." She looked at Scott who nodded. "Yeah, I'm gonna go after him." She quickly grabbed her things and walked out of the school only to sigh when she saw Stiles pulling away. She frowned, cocking her head to the side. "Was that. . . was that Liam in his car?"
