Chapter Eleven

Mac's POV

Being there to save Kira landed all 5 of us in the police station for questioning. Questioning with my father, of course. Our local FBI agent who just won't seem to leave town. We sat in Noah's office. Stiles, Scott, and Kira on one part of the couch. I sat on the couch arm and Lydia was in a chair next to me. Rafe stood in front of us, questioning us over and over.

"So when did you get there?" Rafe asked Stiles.

"At the same time." Stiles responded.

"At the same time as who?" Rafe asked.

"At the same time as me." Scott answered.

"By coincidence?"

"What do you mean coincidence?" Stiles asked confused.

"That's what I'm asking you. The two of you arrived at the same time. Was that coincidence?" Rafe asked again.

"Are you asking me?" Scott asked our father.

"I think he's asking me." Stiles said to Scott. I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. How have these two survived in their 17 years of life?

"I think he's asking the both of you." Lydia pointed out, sounding as annoyed as I was at the boy's useless banter.

"Okay, let me answer the questions." Rafe said, and sighed deeply when he realized his mistake. I slyly smirked. "Let me ask the questions. Just so I have this absolutely clear. Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill Kira. Then Barrow took Kira to a power substation and tied her up with the intent of electrocuting her, which blacked out the entire town."

"Sounds about right." Stiles confirmed.

"How did you know he'd take her to a power station?" Rafe asked. Ugh,this is getting old. We already answered these questions. I just wanna leave.

"Well, 'cause he was an electrical engineer. So where else would he take her?" Stiles said, like it was an obvious question. Like we didn't need a banshee with a painful scream to help us figure it out.

"That's one hell of a deduction there, Stiles."

"Yeah, what can I say? I take after my pops. He's in law enforcement." Stiles said,winking at his father. Noah snorted a laugh but quickly covered it with coughs.

"Stiles, just, uh... Just answer the man." Noah said.

"We made a good guess." Stiles said annoyed.

"Where were you Mac during this deduction?" The man who shared the same dna as me asked.

"I was with my aunt." I replied, sitting there with my arms crossed.

"Your aunt?" He asked.

"My mother's biological sister. If you paid any attention to your surroundings, you'd notice they are identical twins." I said with a hint of bitterness in my tone.

"I didn't know she had one." Rafe said.

"Obviously there are lot of things you didn't know about my mother when you slept with her. Like her violent and obsessive tendencies." I spat out. Rafe just cleared his throat and looked at Scott and Kira.

"What were the two of you doing?" He asked them. I rolled my eyes as Scott and Kira struggled to agree on their dinner choice. If I didn't know any better, I'd say it was a lie.
