All Shades of Blue

Derek was running, trying to catch the Alpha while Scott and Stiles were driving Derek's car.

"Get in," Stiles ordered, opening the door.

Scott frowned. "What part of laying low don't you understand?"

"Damnit!" Derek cursed. "I had him."

"Who, the Alpha?" Stiles asked.

"Yes! He was right in front of me, and the stupid friggin' police showed up."

Stiles frowned. "Whoa, hey, they're just doing their job-"

Derek cut Stiles' off with a glare. "Yeah, thanks to someone who decided to make me the most wanted fugitive in the entire state."

"Can we seriously get past that?" Scott shot back. "I made a dumbass mistake. I get it."

Stiles sighed. "All right. How did you find him?"

"Can you try to trust us for at least half a second?"

"Yeah, all of us. Or him. I'll be back here."

Derek frowned. "Look, the last time I talked to my sister, she was close to figuring something out. She found two things. The first was a guy named Harris."

"Our Chemistry teacher?"

"Why him?" Scott wondered.

Derek shook his head. "I don't know yet."

"What's the second?"

"Some kind of symbol." He showed a picture, and Scott reacted. "What? You know what this is?"

Scott nodded. "I've seen it on a necklace. Allison's necklace."

Stiles frowned. "This is gonna be impossible, you know."

Scott rolled his eyes and shot him a look.

"Why don't you ask her if you can borrow it?" Stiles asked once they'd arrived at school.

"How?" Scott wondered.

"It's easy. You just say, "Hey, Allison, can I borrow your necklace to see if there's anything on it or in it that can lead me to an Alpha werewolf that I need to kill in order to get back together with you?"

"Stiles, shut up. You're not helping," Scott added.

"Why don't you just talk to her," Stiles suggested.

Scott shook his head. "She won't talk to me. What if she, like, only takes it off in the shower or something?"

"That's why you ease, that's why you ease back into it, okay? Get back on the good side, remind her of the good times. And then you ask her for the necklace. You're thinking about her in the shower, aren't you?"

"Yeah."

"All right, stay focused, okay? Get the necklace, get the Alpha, get cured, get Allison. In that order. Got it?"

Scott nodded. "Get the necklace."

During passing period, Jackson came up to
Scott. "I know what you are, McCall."

"Wh -- What?" Scott stammered.

"I know what you are."

"I'm sorry. I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Yeah. Yeah, you do. And here's the thing. However it is you came to be what you are, you're gonna get it for me, too."

"Get what for you?"

"Whatever it is. A bite, a scratch, sniffing magic fairy dust under the moonlight -- I don't care. You're gonna get it for me, or, uh, she's gonna find out about it, too."
