I followed behind my dad as we entered the police station and I slightly frowned when I recognized the woman at the front desk. She was the one that Derek fake-flirted with when we were trying to break Isaac out of jail.
"It's two in the morning," she said to my dad.
"Believe me, I wouldn't be here if it wasn't extremely important," Dad promised her.
"We look at the hospital stuff first, okay?" my brother whispered to the two of us.
I nodded my head in agreement while Scott whispered back, "Why?"
"Because all the murders were committed by Jackson—except one, remember?" I asked him softly.
"The pregnant girl, Jessica," he realized.
"Yeah," I agreed. "Since Matt had to kill her himself, somebody from the hospital could've seen him."
I heard the woman sigh and turned to see her buck her head, indicating that she was letting us through. "Thank you," my dad said graciously. "Come on," he said to the four of us.
We made our way into Dad's office and he started to gather all of the evidence he had for the case.
"Dad, we gotta see the hospital evidence first. Do you have the tapes from the night of Jessica's murder?" I asked him as I started shifting through the evidence he had.
He started looking and produced a DVD. "Yeah, here we go."
He stuck it into the disc drive on his computer and sat at his desk. I stood on one side of him and leaned against the desk while Scott and Stiles were on the other side.
The four of watched the video begin to play and Dad fast-forwarded to a few minutes before Jessica was killed.
The hallways of the hospital looked packed with patients and nurses and doctors littering the place.
"I don't know, guys," Dad sighed. "I mean, look at this. There was a six-car pileup that night; the hospital was jammed."
I sighed and rested my hand in my chin. "Just keep going," I said softly. My eyes were scanning the video feed but I didn't know Matt like Scott and Stiles did. I just hoped they'd see something.
"He had to pass one of the cameras on that floor to get to Jessica, okay?" my brother added. "He's gotta be on the footage somewhere."
"Oh, hold on, stop!" Scott suddenly burst out. I turned my head to him and his eyes were wide, like he had seen something that caught his attention. "Did you see that? Scroll back."
I turned my eyes back to the screen while my dad started scrolling back in slow motion.
"That's him! That's Matt," Stiles pointed out, pointing to a guy on the screen with jeans and a black jacket.
