WHEN DEREK MENTIONED he was going to the high school - something about Mr Harris and the police - Eleanor didn't expect to be sat in his camaro with Scott, Stiles and Jaden, taking part in a car chase with Kate Argent.

  Clad in leggings and Scott's All Time Low tour jumper, the attire she had hoped to go to bed in, she leant toward Scott in the drivers seat, her annoyance seeping out of her mouth as she realised that Scott did not understand that point of a car chase.

  "Faster?" Scott questioned, trying to glance through his windscreen mirror.

  Eleanor nodded quickly, glancing behind her to face the glare of Kate's headlights. "Much faster."

  Scott let his foot gain more leverage of the acceleration pedal as he sped up, however the small boost still put the four friends meters from the Argents car. Scott continued to nervously look through his windscreen mirror.

  Stiles frowned nervously, leaning forward to nudge the werewolf as his eyes trained on the vehicle behind them. "Okay Scott i dont think you're really grasping the concept of a car chase."

  Eleanor could feel Stiles' anxiety increasing, she could feel Scott's heart hammering in his chest and she could feel Jaden's annoyance for the woman at the wheel behind them. She could hardly focus on what she was feeling.

  "If I go faster, I'll kill us." Scott noted, shrinking in his seat.

  "If you don't go faster, they'll kill us!" Jaden exclaimed, his eyes rolling in disgust for the Argents.

  Yet again, Scott pushed his foot onto the pedal, rounding a corner as the three friends stared at the back window in wonder, as there was no Kate Argent or her car on their tail. They were alone, and it was extremely worrying.

  "They're gone." Stiles stated, although it almost came out as a question as he stared down at his father's radio, one he'd taken that very night.

  Just as the four had suspected, there was a buzz and a crack from the radio before a familiar voice was speaking, he was an older deputy of Noah's, Jason. "All units, suspect is on foot, heading into the Iron Works."

  Scott shared a brief look with Eleanor, whom nodded, as if to confirm their next location, and Scott smiled, taking a U turn across the road and toward the Iron Works, smiling to himself. "I've always wanted to try that."

  All four shared a chuckle, one that ended quickly, replaced by tension and suspense as they sped through an alleyway, beside the Iron Works that Derek was supposedly running through. In a mere few seconds, Jaden pointed to a black silhouette running toward them, and Eleanor immediately threw herself into the back seat, landing in the middle. From the loud noise and constant rattling from the car, they could tell shots were being fired.
