When We Were Young : Part 3

Chapter 22

"You mean to tell me that William Barrow escaped and no body's seen him! Nobody thought to tell me?!" I shouted as soon as I heard to keep an eye out for William Barrow, who escaped 12 hours ago.

"You were on vacation deputy, vacation meaning a break from work" Sheriff said. 

"Yeah but this is William Barrow, I said call if there is an emergency and he accounts for one" I said following the sheriff into his office. 

"Haley, William Barrow isn't the only thing you've missed out on since you've been away" Sheriff said. I could tell he's been stressed judging by the bags under his eyes and the tone of his voice. 

"What else has happened?" I asked him. 

"Stiles has been having nightmares and couldn't read, Scott couldn't control his shifting, Allison was seeing her dead aunt, there was a coyote running around the woods who was also a girl named Malia and her father was unknowingly trying to kill her, but they're all somewhat better, and Malia is home with her father" Sheriff said. 

"That's nice to know Sheriff" I said angry I didn't know about any of this. I wonder if Scott tried to get a hold of Derek. If he was having trouble shifting i'm sure he would have at least tried to contact him seeing as he was his teacher at one point. I was knocked out of my thoughts when the sheriff hollered somebodies name. 

"Yeah" A man said entering the office. He looked about my age. He had blonde hair and green eyes. 

"Parish meet my second in command, Haley Sparks. Haley this is Jordan Parrish, your new partner" Sheriff said. Parrish held out his hand for me to shake in which I accepted. 

"Hi" I said then looked at the sheriff. "Partner?" 

"Yep if you think you're going out there alone then you're crazy and he's shown great qualities I trust him out there in the field with you" He said. Does he forget that I'm a werewolf and that I would be the one saving this guys ass if needed. I honestly didn't want a partner, not since Cheri. I failed to protect her and the last thing I need is someone else dying on my watch. The sheriff looked at Parrish with regretful eyes. 

"Good luck" He told him and walked out. 

"Where's the last known location of William Barrow" I said as we walked out to my cruiser. 

"There was a spotting at the school but we didn't find anything" Jordan said. 

"The fact that he was even close to the school is terrifying" I said hopping into the driver seat. 

"Where are we going to start?" He asked. 

"Well he wouldn't be at the school. I would think he would be somewhere hes familiar with. He worked at an electrical plant. He lived in a old worn down warehouse. If he's not at those two places then he would most likely be located where teenagers or kids are." I said. 

"Why?" he asked. 

"He targeted his victims which were kids on a school bus, he claimed they had glowing eyes." I said. 

"How do you know so much about him?" He asked me. 

"Who do you think arrested him, jackass thinks he can just murder children like that, I wanted to make sure he got the punishment he needed" I said. 

"Which was?" He asked. 

"He got a good beating before I took him in" I laughed. 

"And you still had a job?" He asked. 

"Of course I still had the job. Everyone knew I was going to beat the shit out of him and no body cared, that's why they sent me in the first place. Rule number one in Beacon Hills is that there are no rules, this town in too crazy for them.  The first place we'll check is where he worked. The electrical plant.
