A FEW DAYS LATER.
Running my fingers over the claws marks at the front of the van, Stilinski pats my back and nods over to Scott and Stiles.
"What in the hell were you two think?" He said.
Standing beside him, Stiles and Scott had their back towards us as an officer was wrapping Stiles' hand in a brace.
"We were just trying to help." Scott chuckles.
"Why don't you try and help me understand...what the hell happened here?" Stilinski whispered.
"Right, well, we were trying to gently persuade him to pull over..."
"Yeah," Scott added.
Looking over his shoulder, Stilinski rolls his eyes at me.
"That's not how I remembered it," I whispered as I leaned on the van door.
"Well, you were standing a few miles away."
"I think his exact words were 'Demon!'" I whispered exaggeratedly.
Raising both of our eyebrows, Stilinski and I look at the both of them with an 'are you kidding me' face.
"He was getting away," Scott asked nervously.
"He got away."
"Right. Because obviously, he's some sort of criminal mastermind, Dad."
"Uh-huh, You want to guess what the stolen merchandise is?" He said as he led them to the back of the van.
Opening the back, he reveals at least 3o silver tanks in the back of the van.
"Critical life-saving medical equipment?" Stiles blurted out.
"No."
"Poising gas?"
"Nope," I whispered, standing behind them.
"Filled with drugs?"
"...Helium." Stilinski said as he leaned closer to Stiles.
"Helium?"
Glancing back and forth, I look over at Stilinski who shakes his head and walks away.
"Okay, you two. You're both going home."
"What, why?"
"Because you have school tomorrow, and I have to get up early for practice. So, please, don't make me drag your asses to the car."
"You're the head coach? Why are you at a crime scene?"
"I'm a 'private' investigator. Emphasis on private."
"What?" Scott questions.
"Supernatural cases. So you work for my dad now?" Stiles asked.
"Sort of."
Looking around at the other cops, I start to get anxious and feel my heart beat faster.
"You okay?" Scott asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"This isn't about the thing that happened a few days ago, right?"
Glancing up from staring at the middle of Scott's chest, I look into his eyes.
"I need to know who did this. What if, they're like me? Confused and scared of their abilities."
"You know yourself, you know your limits. You shouldn't go chasing after some lead that might take you to the middle of nowhere."
