*WAS CRUEL SUMMER*
"The pain of it slashed through my body in nauseating waves before settling heavily in the pit of my belly. I tried to hold it together, to hold it down, but I couldn't."

With their heads bowed five teenagers sat silently on the couches in Sheriff Stilinski's office, the entire station in darkness after Kira had absorbed every ounce of electricity out of the town. Sat on the edge of Sheriff Stilinski's desk was Rafael McCall, waiting to ask his son and friends many questions about why they had been at the power substation tonight with William Barrow. Noah sat in his desk chair behind the man, just one witness to the questioning that his son and others were about to go through. In the corner of the room Camila stood with folded arms, piercing her eyes at her daughter who had gotten in trouble once again, the blonde girl kept her head down for now. Avoiding that stare that she may not have seen from her mother for a few years, but she remembered it as clear as day, it used to make her skin crawl, now, she wouldn't let it.
"So when did you get there?" Rafael asked the five teens.
"At the same time," Stiles answered simply.
As who? Rafael asked. At the same time as him, Scott replied. By coincidence? Rafael questioned again. What do you mean coincidence? Stiles deflected. That's what he was asking him. Had the two arrived at the same time by coincidence. Scott asked who his father's question was directed at, him, or as Stiles believed; him. Or as Lydia suspected, both of them.
"Okay." Rafael sighed in frustration. "Let me answer the questions."
A smirk grew across six faces. The faces of the five teenagers in front of him who were getting the exact thing they wanted out of this conversation, confusion from Agent McCall, frustration out of him, and a hint of entertainment. The other face that grew a smirk was Sheriff Stilinski who tried to hide just how much he enjoyed seeing the man fumble. Camila, much like her fiance, failed to find the situation amusing. Noelle raised her head correcting the man. He wanted to ask them, not answer. As soon as the correction had left her mouth Camila had spat out her name, warning her, but the girl simply shrugged, it wasn't her fault that her fiance couldn't speak properly.
"Just so I have this absolutely clear," Rafael stated as he filed through the notes he'd made in his pad from all of the questions he had asked prior, the ones that the five teenagers managed to try and answer with much more ease than now. For those questions, they hadn't all been together, and he hadn't been the one answering the questions, one of the deputies had. He knew that the five of them were being difficult on purpose because of him, between his son and the two teens he knew well of, none were discreet about their feelings.
"Barrow was hiding in the chemistry closet at the school. Someone left him a coded message on the blackboard telling him to kill two girls. Kira and... Briar?" He mumbled, looking up at the five teenagers who had claimed that they knew nobody of the named Briar. The lack of expression on their faces caused him to continue, clearly since they were last questioned, none of them had figured out who this persona of Briar was. He looked back at his notes, "Then Barrow took Kira and Noelle to a power substation and tied them up with the intent of electrocuting them, which blacked out the entire town?"
