Innocence & Instinct

The meeting Part 12

Stiles was at the Service Center getting the jeep serviced he noticed that the mechanic had his jeep suspended in the air.

 "Hey! Hey? What do you think you are doing? All I needed was a starter."

the mechanic" It looks like your whole exhaust system has got to be replaced."

" Why do I get the feeling you are slightly over estimating the damage?"

the mechanic "Probably will run you around 1200 parts and labor."

"Are you kidding? This thing doesn't have a catalytic converter. And yes, I know what a catalytic converter is."

Do you know what the differential is?"

"No "

the mechanic "More like 1500."

He got the hint, either he shut up and let him work. Or keep complaining and he'll jack up the price.

"Okay.Just finish.I will be back here seething with rage!"

Stiles grabs the doorknob and pulls his hand back with something slimy on it.

"Huh.Nice.Real sanitary.Quality establishment you are running here."

Stiles starts feeling dizzy and falls to the ground but not before seeing Through the waiting room window he sees a Lizard Creature crawling down the side of his jeep which was still high in the air on the hydraulic lift. he tried to shout a warning but couldn't unable to make a sound above a whisper"Help.Help me.

Help me."

Stiles managed to dial 911 but could do nothing else except hear the mechanic's cries for help; he closes his eyes not wanting to see his death he heard the creature came up to the glass door of the waiting area and hissed at him.

Allison was on her way out to another secret meeting with Scott.

Gerald" I didn't mean to scare you. Were they expecting someone else? "

 "Yeah I mean no. No, definitely not."

" Good.Then we can talk for a minute."

taking out his pill box and drops it Allison catches and hands it back to him.

Gerald"Oh.Thanks.Don't want to drop that.I would be lost without it.When I was your age, I didn't even take vitamins.Now I am choking down a cocktail of pills three times a day! But, I do what my doctor tells me, because I trust him.Trust is a commodity our family holds very high, you know? And my daughter, well, your Aunt Kate died doing what she thought were right.Her intentions may have been misguided."

"A bit? "

"Oh, like that.You remind me of her.She challenged me, too."

 "So, what do you want me to do? Challenge you?"

" I want you to trust me.You are going to find yourself put in the position where you question the trust of people close to you.Even your closest friends.And when that happens, you have to know the trust you would never question is family! Can I trust you, Allison?"

" Yeah."

" Not "yeah".Speak with conviction! Yes! Or no! "

"Yes! You can trust me."

Stiles" I told you, I just walked in and saw the chief on top of the guy, that's all.

Sheriff Stilinski " What's wrong with your hand?"

"Nothing.Can I just get out of here now."

 " Look, if there's something you don't think you can tell me."
