Chapter 17: Silverfinger

Sabrina leaned against her locker and tapped her foot in anticipation while Stiles paced back and forth in front of her. The two were waiting impatiently for Scott to tell him what they had discovered last night.

Sabrina looked up the hall and breathed out a sigh of relief when Scott walked into the school. Stiles looked up and stopped pacing as Scott made his way to the two.

Scott opened his mouth to greet them but Stiles and Sabrina grabbed his arms and dragged him down the hall. "What's going on?" he asked the two.

"You need to come with us, now," said Sabrina.

Scott became confused. Where were they taking him to? His question soon became answered when he saw that they were now in the chemistry classroom. Stiles closed the door behind him and then the two began telling Scott everything that they had found last night.

"Stiles and I were, you know," she trailed off. Scott's eyes narrowed. "What?" he asked. "What were you two doing?" Sabrina palmed her face before letting her hand drop back to her side. Stiles rolled his eyes at how oblivious his best friend was. "Making out, Scott," Stiles spat out. "That's what we were doing."

Scott's eyes widened. "Oh," he cleared his throat. "So, then what?" 

"Okay, so Stiles and I were, making out on the stairs of the loft when I noticed that his key was glowing." "So then Sabrina starts talking about phosphors and the key having chemicals on it, right?" said Stiles as Sabrina nodded. "And so that made us think of the Chemistry closet and the fact that someone had to let Barrow in-" Stiles glanced over at the blackboard to find that it was clean. The message had been erased. 

"It's gone," Sabrina whispered.

"Okay, it doesn't matter though. It doesn't matter," Stiles mumbled. "We've still got the keys," he said as he then dug into his pocket for his key ring but found that the key for the chemistry closet was now gone. "What the hell? I had it...I had it here. I had it here this morning, I swear to God, I had it this morning."

Sabrina pulled her key ring out and searched for her key to the classroom...but it was gone. Her eyes widened as she looked up at Stiles. "Mine's gone too," she mumbled.

Scott looked at Stiles. "The key you were talking about last night?" Stiles nodded. Scott then looked over at his twin. "You had one as well?" he asked. She nodded. "Yeah, I showed it you, right?" Stiles asked him. "Didn't I show it to you?"

Scott shook his head. "No, you just told me about it. I never actually saw it."

Stiles could see that Scott wasn't believing him. "We were here a couple of hours ago. And the messages left to Barrow spelling Kira's name was right there on the board in Sabrina's handwriting and we both had keys to this room," Stiles explained. "I had the key to the classroom while Stiles had they key to the chemistry closet."

  "So, Sabrina, you unlocked the chemistry classroom while Stiles, you unlocked the chemistry closet so Barrow could hide in it from the cops," he paused then turned to Sabrina again. "Then you wrote him a message to kill Kira?" he asked in disbelief.  

"We know how it sounds," said Sabrina. "But look at this," Stiles said as he pulled a printout of a news article from his backpack. This is the news report that came out about Barrow when they caught him, okay? About the shrapnel bomb that he used. See this? See what he did?" he asked pointing to the right spot on the article. "He put nuts, bolts and screws, and then he hid the bomb and the detonator in a box that he wrapped as a birthday present. What does that sound like to you?"

Scott narrowed his eyes. "Coach. The joke we played on Coach."

Stiles nodded. "That was my idea. You remember? That was my idea. That's no coincidence. It can't be," he said as his heart began racing.
