Jess was sat on the bench in the boys locker room with Isaac keeping a comforting hand on her shoulder. She was trying to process everything that had happened that year; being bitten by Peter, meeting Derek, losing Daniel, losing Jackson, Allison becoming a huntress. The witch was starting to feel like too much was changing too quickly.
"I've got to meet with the medical examiner and try to figure out what happened with Jackson. I've got an APB out on Stiles. His Jeep is still in the parking lot, so that means..." The sheriff paused as he spoke, needing a moment which made him lose his confidence. "Ah hell, I don't know what that means. Um, look, if he answers his phone, if he answers his emails, if either one of you see him--"
"We'll call you." Isaac assured the man. Jess stood up slowly and wrapped her arms around the man."Look, he's probably just freaked out from all the attention or something. We'll find him." Scott comforted Stiles' dad.
"Yeah... I'll see you, okay?"
"Stay safe, Sheriff." Jess called out as he walked away before returning to her seat on the bench. Isaac sat down next to her while Scott and Coach talked and placed a comforting arm around her shoulders.
Scott then came back over to Isaac and Jess as he spoke up, "Is that everyone?"
"Think so." Isaac answered. Scott broke open Stiles' locker causing Isaac to realise what the plan was. "You're gonna find him by scent?"
"Yeah. We both are." He responded as he pulled out a shoe and handed it to the other boy and taking out a shirt for himself to smell.
"But how come you get his shirt and I get his shoe?" Isaac asked, frowning. The boys all then suddenly paused but Jess just closed her eyes until she heard a voice.
"We need to talk."
"Derek?" Jess questioned, raising her head for confirmation.
"All of us." Peter spoke as he appeared round the corner.
"Holy..." Scott muttered in shock. "What the hell is this?"
"You know, I thought the same thing when I saw you talking to Gerard at the Sheriff's station." Derek commented.
"Okay, hold on! He-he threatened to kill my mom! And I had to get close to him. What was I supposed to do?!" Scott cried out.
"I'm gonna go with Scott on this one. Have you seen his mom? She's gorgeous!" Peter interjected.
"SHUT UP!" Jess, Scott and Derek all shouted.
"Who is he?" Isaac asked the other two teenagers.
"That's Peter, Derek's uncle. A little while back, he tried to kill us all, and then we set him on fire, and Derek slashed his throat." Scott explained as Jess laid down on the bench.
"Hi." Peter spoke, waving his hand.
"Good to know." Isaac responded to Scott while looking suspiciously at Peter.
"How's he alive?" Scott questioned.
"Look, the short version is he knows how to stop Jackson... and maybe how to save him."
"Well that's very helpful... except Jackson's dead." Isaac commented sarcastically as he looked over at Jess cautiously.
"What?" Derek questioned.
"Yeah, Jackson's dead. It just happened on the field." Scott answered earning a dead silence and nervous glances between the Hales.
"Okay, why is no one taking this as good news?" Isaac asked.
