About a week after the library incident, Carson and Stiles sit down in the sheriff's station, handing Stilinski his lunch.

He takes a bite, making a face, "Oh what the hell is this?"

"Veggie burger," Stiles says.

"Stiles, I asked for a hamburger."

"Think of it as a greener alternative," Carson smiles.

"Veggie is healthier. We're being healthy," Stiles holds up his and Carson's salads.

"Why are you trying to ruin my life? Carson, you're supposed to be on my side," he groans.

"I am. Which is why we're feeding you food that will elongate your life. My dad is a doctor, I would know," she winks.

"Could you just eat it please? And tell us what you found," Stiles takes a sip of his soda.

"No, I'm not sharing confidential police work with two teenagers," he refuses.

"If you think about it, I turn 17 in August which is basically 18 which is an adult," she smirks.

"Yes, well you're sixteen right now," he retorts.

"Is that it on the board behind you?" Stiles looks up.

"Don't look at that. Avert your eyes."

"I think it is, Stilinski," Carson looks up as well.

"I see arrows, pointing at pictures."

"Very big, bright arrows. They're basically calling our names," Carson adds.

"Fine. I found something. Mechanic and the couple who were murdered--they all had something in common."

"All three?"

"Yeah. You know what I always say. Ones an incident, two's a coincidence-"

"Three's a pattern."

"The mechanic, the husband, the wife. All the same age. All 24."

"Wait, but what about Mr. Lahey? I mean, Isaac's dad isn't anywhere near 24."

"Which made me think that either A: Lahey's murder wasn't connected or B: the ages were a coincidence. But then I found this, which would be C," he grabs a folder.

"Did you know Isaac had an older brother named Camden?"

"Oh yeah, he used to hang with my brother sometimes," Carson comments. "I think he went to the military."

"Says he died in combat."

"Yeah but if he were alive today, guess how old he'd be?" Stilinski says.

"24." the teenagers answer at the same time.
