     While I was figuring out what had happened to me the night I attacked Derek, a lot of other shit had happened. Erica and Boyd were caught by hunters; Jackson injured himself during the game; Stiles was missing. Because of that we, Derek, Peter and myself, were currently waiting for everyone to leave the boys' lockerroom so we could talk to Scott and Isaac. "Why do you get his shirt and I get a shoe?" Isaac asked his friend and with that Scott finally noticed us standing in the doorway. "We need to talk," Derek said and then I stepped out of the shadows. "All of us." After I said that Peter stepped out the shadows as well and flashed the two boys his infamous smirk.

     "What the hell is this?" Scott said while eyeing Peter up and down. Oh yes, that man is up and running. Unfortunately. "You know, we thought the same thing when we saw you to talking to Gerard at the sheriff's station." I took a step forward and had my arms scrossed in front of my body, giving Scott a questioning look as I said that. "Okay, hold on. He threatened to kill my mum," Scott said defensively. I also remember that man threatening me, but that's not important, I guess. "And I had to get close him. What was I supposed to do?" Now it was Peter's turn to open up that trap of his. "I'm going to go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mum?" Everyone looked at the older Hale. "She's gorgeous." Can't argue with that. "Shut up," Derek and Scott said in unison. Peter turned his head at me and I shrugged, agreeing with him.

     Isaac leaned towards Scott and asked who Peter was. "That's Peter. Derek's uncle. Little while back he tried to kill us all and then we set him on fire and Derek slashed his throat." Peter raised his hand and said a simple 'hi' to the boy. "Good times," I said. "Good times." Peter tilted his head and eyed me. "What? You were a real dick then." "Then? Meaning I'm not anymore?" Peter retorted. I scoffed, he was not going to let this go. I was about to say something back, when Scott cut me off. "How is he alive?" Derek didn't feel the need to tell the young werewolf.

     "Short version is he knows how to stop Jackson. Maybe how to save him." At least it sparked the interest of Scott, meaning that hopefully he's willing to work together on this one. "That's very helpful, except Jackson's dead." I dropped my arms to my side and took a small step forward. "Wait, what? How?" "Yeah, it just happened on the field." I looked at Derek and he was just as confused as I am. "Why is no one taking this as good news?" Isaac questioned us. "Because if Jackson is dead it didn't just happen. Gerard wanted it to happen." All eyes were on Peter right now. "But why?" Derek asked his uncle. Why the fuck would Gerard kill off his pet? Peter walked up to Scott, showing how serious he was about all this. "Well, that's exactly what we need to figure out. And something tells me the window of opportunity is closing. Quickly."

     We went back to the burned Hale house and once we got inside Peter grabbed something that was stuffed between two steps on the staircase. He told us it was a laptop and that the Argents weren't the only ones keeping records. A phone went off and it turned out that Melissa was calling his son. Someone really strange was happening with Jackson's body. "I'm coming with you," I decided for myself and Derek nodded before I left with the two boys.
