|principals office|
Scott and Stiles having been intentionally send to the principals office are listening in on Stiles' father interviewing Jackson.
"Listen you're telling me you knew Isaac's father was hitting him?" Noah asks.
"Hitting him? He was kicking the crap out of him." Jackson replies.
"Did you ever say anything to anyone? Teacher? Parents? Anyone?" Noah asks.
"Nope, it's not my problem." Jackson replies arrogantly.
"No, no of course not, you know it's funny that the kids getting beaten up are always the ones who least deserve it." Noah says.
"Yeah, wait what?" Jackson says confused.
"I think we're done here." Noah says and leaves the room. Getting out he sees Scott and Stiles sitting in front of the principals office and seeing his son hide behind a magazine greets Scott "Hi Scott."
Scott only waves him a hello and Noah leaves the school with his officers. A second after Noah left Gerard Argent comes out of the principals office and says "Boys, come on in."
Both teens look at him shocked, realizing that he's their new principal.
They all enter the room and Gerard is looking over the boys files.
"Scott McCall, academically not the most accomplished but I see you have become quite the star athlete. Mr. Stilinski, perfect grades but little to no extra curricular. Maybe you should try lacrosse, wait hold on I think Allison mentioned you being on the team must have not been put into the file."
"Yeah, I only recently made first line maybe I fell through the cracks before that?" Stiles guesses with a shaky voice.
"relax Stiles, you look like you're about to crack a cyanide pill with your teeth." Gerard jokes.
"Just was hoping to make an at least decent impression on my girlfriends grandfather." Stiles replies.
"Relax you seem like a pretty nice kid to me. Now listen guys, yes I'm the principal but I really don't want you to think of me as the enemy. However as this is my first day I do need to support the teachers, so unfortunately someone is going to have to take the fall and stay behind for detention." Gerard informs them.
Scott looks at Stiles hopefully and Stiles seeing his friends expressions sighs, slumps his shoulders and volunteers.
After Gerard dismisses them Scott leaves the room and dashes through the school hallways, hoping to stop Noah from putting Isaac into prison.
As he comes out of the school entrance doors he sees the police car with Isaac in the back driving away. A second later Derek drives up in front of the school telling Scott "get in!"
"Are you serious? You did that, that's your fault." Scott replies.
"I know that, now get in the car and help me." Derek says annoyed.
"I have a better idea I'm gonna call a lawyer because a lawyer might actually have a real shot at getting him out of there before the moon goes up." Scott replies dramatically.
"Not if they're doing a search of the house." Derek tells him.
"What do you mean?" Scott asks confused.
"Whatever Jackson said to the cops, what's in the house is worse. A lot worse." Derek tells him opening up his passenger side door.
Scott thinks about it a moment and gets into the car.
|Argent house|
Gerard and Chris go to the office in the house and Gerard gets out his medicine while telling his son "I'm not interested if they locked up a sixteen year old kid. I'm interested in what's going to happen to that sixteen year old when the moon hits its peak tonight. Do we have proof?"
"Is the next step killing him?" Chris asks challengingly.
"The next step is eliminating the threat, do we have proof?" Gerard replies.
"I haven't been in history class, for a while but I'm pretty sure straight up genocide hasn't worked out too often." Chris says.
"Do we have proof or not?" Gerard questions annoyed.
"Not irrefutable, but not insignificant. The driver side door of Lahey's car was pried off." Chris informs him.
"Pried off?" Gerard asks interested.
"Ripped off."Chris says and Gerard sees Allison standing in the doorway of the adjacent room listening in on their conversation and mentions to Allison. Chris turns around and closes the office doors.
Allison after waiting a while hears the door to the office open and goes around the corner to see what's going on again and sees a hunter go past her putting a box with something in his jacket pocket.
"Allison." Chris says.
"Come in we'd like to talk to you."
"I was supposed to meet up with Lydia, I don't have time to chat." Allison replies.
"Actually that's who we wanted to talk to you about sweetheart." Chris tells her.
|Harris house|
Adrian has gotten home and immediately went to the bathroom and spits out an enormous amount of black goo. "I've never read about this happening when turning into a werewolf." Adrian chokes confused. He has known that the supernatural exists ever since the Hale fire and read a few books about it. During class he was able to keep a relatively calm and controlled appearance but after getting home his resistance is wearing thin.
Soon after he finishes throwing up the black goo he hears the doorbell ring and looking at his watch he sees that it's about time for Matt to show up, so he cleans up and goes to the door, the money in hand.
"Here, there are a few extra bucks in there for bringing it to my house." Adrian says stoically as always, keeping up appearances.
"Thanks, do you need help setting it up?" Matt offers.
"No thank you I can handle it, you should go home now, it's getting dark and tonight is a full moon." Adrian replies and taking the camera gets into his house, closing the door behind him.
He then sets the camera up so he films what is happening on his bed, as he goes to sleep and Matt hoping to get dirt on his teacher watches what is being recorded on his laptop outside in his car, since he previously installed a wireless transmitter onto the camera.
|school|
Stiles leaves the school, after Harris let him leave detention.
"Hey sorry for calling so late, but Harris just let me out of detention and he had my phone literally the whole time."
"Well we need to do something right now, they're asking me all these questions about Lydia and how she was bitten by Peter and then they send this guy out." Allison says.
"Wait what guy?" Stiles asks.
"He was dressed as a sheriffs deputy." Allison says.
"They are sending him down to the station for Isaac." Stiles says.
"He was also carrying a box with a carving on it, hold on I saw it in one of these books, I'll send you a picture." Allison tells him and looks through some of the books lying next to her and then sends Stiles the picture of a plant.
Stiles looks at it and says "Yeah, that's wolfsbane."
"What does that mean?" Allison asks.
"It means they're gonna kill him." Stiles answers.
"OK, we need to stop them but first, call Lydia and tell her to be careful and get to Scott, I'm guessing he can protect her even with the full moon right?" Allison says.
"Yeah I think so, OK I'll call her. You try to stall the hunter and I'll call Derek to help me get Isaac out of his cell." Stiles says.
"Sounds like a plan, see you soon." Allison replies and hangs up, gets her bow and arrow and drives towards the station planning on intercepting the hunter.
|Lahey house|
Derek and Scott enter Isaac's home and Scott asks him "If Isaac didn't kill his father who did?"
"I don't know yet." Derek replies.
"And how do you know he's telling the truth?" Scott asks.
"Because I trust my senses and it's the combination of them, not just your sense of smell." Derek says.
"You saw the Lacrosse thing today." Scott guesses.
"Yeah." Derek replies.
"Did it look that bad?" Scott questions.
"Yeah." Derek says amused.
Derek leads them to the stairs leading to the cellar.
"You wanna learn? Start now." Derek tells Scott.
Scott goes down the stairs and asks "What's down there?"
"Motive." Derek replies.
"And what am I looking for?" Scott asks looking around.
"Follow your senses." Derek says and Scott looks around asking "What happened down here?"
"The kind of thing that leaves an impression." Derek tells him.
Scott looks to the floor and sees faint scratch marks leading to the freezer standing against a wall, he goes over to it and opens it seeing filled with bloodied scratch marks.
"This is why he said yes to you." Scott asks.
"Everyone wants power." Derek replies.
"If we help you, then you have to stop. You can't just go around turning people into werewolves." Scott tells him.
"I can if they're willing." Derek argues.
"Did you tell Isaac about the Argents about being hunted?" Scott asks.
"Yes and still asked." Derek tells him seriously.
"Then he's an idiot." Scott curses.
"And you're the idiot with the dumbass friend dating Argents daughter. You saw what happens to an Omega. With me you can learn to use all of your senses, with me you learn control. Even on a full moon." Derek tells him showing Scott his already partially transformed hand.
"If I'm with you I'll loose my surrogate brother." Scott says.
"You're gonna loose him anyway if he continues to date her, you know that." Derek replies walking away.
"Wait, I'm not part of your pack but I want him out." Scott says.
"Why because he's one of us?" Derek questions.
"No, because he's innocent." Scott tells him seriously.
|with Allison|
Allison has taken a shortcut to the station and went into an alley to wait for the hunter to drive by. A few minutes after getting there she sees him drive up and gets out her bow and arrow and fires at the cars tires, causing two flat tires.
The hunter gets out of the car and looks at the tires, seeing arrows sticking out of them and wants to get some tools out of the trunk, when Allison shoots him in his thigh. Moaning in pain the hunter breaks off the arrow and gets into his car while Allison calls Stiles.
"Is he slowed down?" Stiles asks.
"You could say that." Allison says.
"OK, I'm heading to the station right now." Stiles tells her.
"Where is Lydia?" Allison asks.
"On her way to Isaac's to Scott." Stiles says.
"Does he have a plan?" Allison questions.
"Yeah but not a very good one and unfortunately we don't have any time to come up with anything better." Stiles replies.
|Lahey house|
Lydia enters the house and goes to the cellar feeling creeped out by the dark quiet house.
"Scott?" She asks walking down the stairs and seeing Scott kneel in the cellar.
She puts down the bag Stiles told her to pick up and kneels down in front of him, taking out some of the thick chain and asks him "Are you sure we have to do this?"
Scott looks up to her with glowing red eyes and breathing heavily. "Yes." he answers.
"Where?" Allison asks and Scott looks at the freezer pointing at it.
Scott then gets up and climbs into the freezer, sitting down against one of its walls.
"I don't like this not one bit and how come I'm not affected by the moon?" Lydia asks.
"I don't know maybe you're still in transition or the bite just had no effect on you. For your sake I'm hoping the later." Scott tells her.
"Please, I don't wanna risk hurting you." Scott then says, seeing her uncertain about this and brushes over her hand with his semi transformed hand.
Lydia leans over the freezers edge and pulls him in for a deep kiss. She then closes freezer and wraps the chains around the freezer and secures it with a lock.
"OK it's done." Lydia says.
"Please go, I don't want you to have to see me like this." Scott tells her.
"But."
"Please Lydia, just go upstairs I'll be fine and I'll still be able to keep you safe, since I can literally hear your heartbeat, hell I can even hear Jackson's heartbeat across the street."Scott pleads.
"OK, see you in the morning I guess." Lydia says sounding saddened at having to lock up her boyfriend in a freezer and gets upstairs, looking around the house scared, now thinking about how her possibly being hunted by her best friends family might play out.
She then hears a hissing noise and looks over to the doorway and sees a reptilian looking person standing there looking at her.
Lydia screams and Scott, sitting in the freezer feels a pull coming from Lydia, which causes him to fully transform and he slashes his way out of the freezer yelling "Lydia!", runs up the stairs and breaks through the door, jumping in front of her blocking the creature from getting close to her.
The reptilian looking thing walks up the walls, hangs from the ceiling and hisses at them before taking off by crawling along the ceiling.
"What the fuck was that Scott?" Lydia screams.
"I don't know, but it's gone now. But still I think we better get out of here."
"Good idea this place gives me the creeps." Lydia replies calming down slightly but looks over Scott's transformed state not yet used to it.
"I think I know where we can go. There are strong enough trees to chain me up at behind your house." Scott tells her.
"Well it beats this dump I guess and it should be more comfortable than squeezing into a small freezer." Lydia says.
"Great, I'll meet you there, you take your car and I'll run alongside it." Scott tells her.
"OK, let's go." Lydia says grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the house much to Scotts surprise since she told him that she'll need time to adjust. But realizing that this might mean she's beginning to accept it he has a small smile on his face while following her.
|Sheriffs station|
Derek and Stiles pull up in front of the sheriffs station and Stiles tells him "OK, the keys to every cell are in a pass code protected lock box in my fathers office, the problem is getting past the front desk."
"I'll distract her." Derek says and moves to get out of the Jeep.
"Whoa you? You're not going in there." Stiles asks pulling Derek back.
"I was exonerated." Derek says.
"You're still a person of interest." Stiles replies.
"An innocent person." Derek corrects him.
"You? Yeah, right. OK what's your plan`?" Stiles says amused.
"To distract her." Derek says.
"Aha, how? By punching her into her face?" Stiles asks.
"By talking to her." Derek says.
"OK give me an example, what are you gonna open with?" Stiles questions.
After a few second of silence Stiles says "Dead silence, beautiful, any other ideas?"
"I'm thinking about punching you in the face." Derek replies and leaves the car, going in theS sheriffs office smiling brightly at the woman working the front desk.
"Good evening how can I help you? Hi." the woman asks.
"I have a question, I'm sorry I'm a little thrown I wasn't expecting someone so..." Derek says.
"Like me?" the woman asks.
"Well I was gonna say so incredibly beautiful but I guess that's pretty much the same thing." Derek flirts.
Stiles sneaks past them into his fathers office and punches in the combination, opening the case and seeing the keys missing. Hearing keys clanging in the hallway he goes towards the cells and sees the hunter, with the remnants of the arrow still stuck in his thigh limping along the hallway and the hunter sees Stiles look at his arrow wound and grabs him, dragging him along to the cells. Stiles manages to pull the fire alarm and as soon as they get to the cells they see that the door of one of the cells is banged up and open.
The hunter then gets tackled by a shifted Isaac who sees the syringe hunters hand and squeezes his arm, forcing him to drop it and then smashes his head backwards against the wall he cornered him into. The hunter falls to the floor unconscious and Derek enters the room, stepping on the syringe, crushing it and drawing Isaac's attention. He then sees Issac looking at Stiles and growls at him causing Isaac to ball up against a wall in fear of his alpha and turning back to human.
"How did you do that? Stiles asks.
"I'm the alpha." Derek replies cockily.
Noah Stilinski and his officers are walking through the halls to the cell, turning off the fire alarm on the way and Noah sees his son standing in the middle of the room, with the cell door damaged and opened and a sheriff lying in the corner.
"Uhh, he did it." says pointing at the hunter after having looked around and knowing what it looks like.
