Wolves of War Book 2: A Declaration of War

2x07: Restraint

Scott, Stiles and I stand in Sheriff's office while on the phone with Allison.

"If Jackson doesn't know what he's doing, then he probably doesn't know that someone's controlling him," Allison says

"Or he doesn't remember," Scott says

"What if it's the same kind of thing that happened with Lydia when she took off from the hospital?" Stiles asks

"A fugue state?" Allison questions

"He'd have to forget everything. The murder -" Scott stats

"Getting rid of the blood." Allison finishes

"Yeah, he had help with one thing tough - the video. And someone else helped him forget that." I say

"Whoever's controlling him," Scott says

"Are you sure Jackson has no clue about any of this?" Allison asks

"He thinks he's still becoming a werewolf and that being with Lydia somehow delayed the whole thing," Stiles tells her

"So do we try and convince him he's not?" Allison asks

"If it helps us find out who's controlling him, then yeah," Scott says

"Do you think he'll talk to us after what we did?" Allison asks

"Yeah, it's us. He'll talk to us. Right?" Stiles says

............................................................

I stand by Mom in the doorway of the interrogation room, Scott and Stiles sit at the table while Sheriff S. reads out the restraining order that Jackson got.

"You will not go within 50 feet of Jackson Whittemore. You will not speak to him. You will not approach him. You will not assault or harass him physically or psychologically." Sheriff says

"What about school?" Stiles asks

"You can attend classes while attempting to maintain a 50 - foot distance." Sheriff replies

"Bu - okay, what if we both have to use the bathroom at the same time and there's only two stalls available and they're only right next to each other?" Sheriff gives Stiles a ' not amused' look. "I'll just hold it."

I walk out of the interrogation room, Sheriff is talking to Stiles.

"Do I need to remind you how lucky we are that they're not pressing charges?" Sheriff asks him

"Oh, come on, it was just a joke," Stiles says

"It was a joke?"

"Yes, I didn't think it would be taken this seriously. Dad, humor's very subjective, okay? I mean, we're talking, like, multiple levels of interpretation here."

"Uh - huh."

"Uh - huh."

"Okay, well, how exactly am I supposed to interpret the stolen prison transport van, huh?" Sheriff asks

"We filled the tank!" Stiles exclaims as Scott exits the room followed by Mom, Scott stops, looking at Stiles.

"Move!" Mom orders as she makes Scott move and grabs my wrist, pulling me along. She stops Scott in the hallway.

"It's not just this. Although, a restraining order is a new low that I didn't think that you would reach quite this soon. It's everything on top of it. The completely bizarre behavior, the late nights coming home, having to beg Mr. Harris for you to make up that chemistry test that you missed." Mom says
