Jace's P.O.V

Dad: Oh, what the hell is this?

Stiles: Veggie burger.

Dad: Stiles, I asked for a hamburger.

Me: Well, veggie is healthier. We're being healthy.

Dad: Oh, hell, why are you two trying to ruin my life?

Stiles: We're trying to extend your life, okay? Could you just eat it, please? And tell us what you found.

Dad: No, I'm not sharing confidential police work with a teenager non less a 13 year old.

Me: Is that it on the board behind you?

Dad: Don't look at that.

Stiles: Ay–

Dad: Avert your eyes.

Me: Okay.

Dad: Hey!

Stiles: Just– it's just– I see arrows pointing at pictures.

Dad: Okay, okay, stop. Fine. I found something. Mechanic and the couple who were murdered. They all had something in common.

Me: All three?

Dad: Yeah. You know what I always say. One's an incident. Two's coincidence.

Stiles:Three's a pattern.

Dad:The mechanic, the husband, the wife– all the same age. All 24.

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

Dad: Which made me think that either "a," Lahey's murder wasn't connected or "b," the ages were a coincidence, until I found this, which would be "c." Did you know that Isaac Lahey hadan older brother named Camden?

Stiles: "Died in combat"?

Dad: But if he were alive today, take one guess as to how old he'd be.

Me and Stiles: 24.
