That night

I tossed and churned around on the bed, trying to find a good position to sleep in but I couldn't get any shut eye.

Scott was at the police station with rafe, mom was working a night shift and I didn't want to bother any of my friends at this hour.

I could feel the hunger consuming my thoughts again. I hated it and I felt bad every time I fed but I wasn't about to go ripper mode again.

I got out of bed and went outside to get what I needed.

Scott's POV

I was outside the office my dad was in, he was recording himself like he always does after a case.

Rafe: flaminary notes on fire arm discharge incident. Having heard the perpetrator's threat and count down, I made visual confirmation of
The barrel of the weapon pressed to the potential victim's head, determining the danger to be imminent..I felt no choice but to respond with the use of deadly force.

After a few seconds in silence he finally came out of the office.

Rafe: thanks for waiting, I know it's late

Scott: it's ok it's not like I'm gonna be going to school tomorrow anyway

Rafe: well unfortunately I'm gonna have to drive back to San Francisco tonight um I'll need to do a review at the field office but I'll be back as soon as I can...I might have to miss the first game of the season

Scott: it's no big deal

Rafe: well it is to me..I'm keeping my promises this time

I couldn't help but smile at that

Rafe: uh..how's your sister doing?

Scott: she's fine

Rafe: is she doing good in school? What about her soccer team?

Scott: why dont you just go ask her yourself?

Rafe: you know she hates me Scott..

Scott: she doesn't hate you dad.. you just need to talk to her

Rafe: I dont think she wants anything to do with me

Scott: maybe she does.. maybe you shouldn't just keep our promises but make ones with her too

He nodded and looked down.

It was silent until I looked at a plastic bag he was holding which had the gun and bullets that the teacher had when he was gonna shoot Stiles

Rafe: what I did, it was necessary, justifiable. You know that..right?

Scott: have you..done it before?

Rafe: two other times

He nodded

Rafe: it's not easy..taking a man's life even if someone forced you to do it

Scott: how do you deal with it?

Rafe: you look at it logically, without emotion, you compartmentalise

Scott: how do you do that?

Rafe: used to do it by drinking...

He smiles sadly

Rafe: come here buddy

He said softly and hugged me tight

After a few seconds he let me go

Rafe: one more thing, when I come back, we have to talk about some stuff. You, your sister and your friends ..the way you guys handle things doesn't seem to faze you like it should..its like you guys know something I dont
