"Call it again." Scott stated as he frantically searched through his room for his phone. Upon arriving to Scott's house, Evelynn let herself in and was immediately told to call for Scott's phone seeing as he had lost it.
"Your turn, Lynnie." Stiles said, giving Evelynn a look. She groaned and looked at her phone, clicking on Scott's contact.
"It's not here." Scott stood up from his spot on the floor and made his way over to his bed, moving around his bed sheets all over the place as he looked for the device. "So you lost your phone. Why don't you just get a new one?"
"I can't afford a new one." Scott replied, once again on the floor, looking under his bed. "And I can't do this alone. We have to find Derek."
"Well, A, you're not alone. You have us. And B, didn't you say Derek walked into gunfire? He sounds pretty dead." Evelynn said as she flopped down onto Scott's bed.
"Argent's plan was to use him to get the alpha. They're not gonna kill him." Evelynn propped herself on her elbows and watched as Scott threw various clothing into the room from the bathroom with raised eyebrows.
"All right, so then just let them do what they're planning, you know? They use Derek to get Peter, problem solved." Stiles said as if it were all simple and easy.
"Not if Peter's going after Allison to find Derek!" Scott exclaimed. "I can't protect her on my own. Which means we have to find Derek first. Just-just help me!" Evelynn sighed, but didn't attempt move a single limb to help Scott look for his phone. The words that seemed to be falling out from Scott's mouth these days were protect, Allison, Derek, alpha, and werewolf. They were no longer about having fun or about practicing for lacrosse or about the latest game that had come out. Like old Uncle Ben Parker said, 'With great power, comes great responsibility."
"You know, you probably lost it when you two were fighting. You remember that, when he was trying to kill you? After you interrupted him trying to kill Jackson? Are you starting to see a pattern of violent behavior here?" Stiles questioned.
"He wasn't going to kill anyone." Scott spoke. "And I'm not letting him die."
"Could you at least think about letting him die? For me?" The sound of a car approaching had caught both Scott's and Evelynn's attention, causing them to turn to look at the window, ignoring Stiles. "What?"
"My mom just got home from work." Evelynn and Stiles both watched as Scott slowly made his way over to his bed, sitting next to Evelynn as he continued to listen in on his mom. Evelynn refrained from doing so, only catching the very end when Melissa started to sniffle.
