BEACON HILLS HIGH SCHOOL

"You guys going to be doing this all day?" Scott asked.

"All day." Ethan said.

"All night." Aiden said.

"Is this about being in my pack?" Scott asked.

"This is about you being the target of demonic ninjas." Aiden said.

"You mean, the demonic ninjas that pulled swords out of their chests and completely kicked our asses?" Ethan asked sarcastically.

"Yeah! Those demonic ninjas." Aiden said sarcastically.

"I don't need anyone to protect me." Scott said.

"They were looking right at you when the sun came up." Ethan said.

"But they were also looking at Brooke" Scott said.

"I don't think they were looking at her, I think they were scared of her" Aiden said

"Why?" Scott asked.

"Because I smelled fear on them" Aiden said.

"And they also disappeared. Argent thinks that they could just come out at night..." Scott said.

"Since this is our first experience with demonic ninjas, we're thinking we should play it safe." Aiden said.

"All day."  Ethan said.

"...And all night." Scott said.

"Okay, one thing first. I need to talk to Stiles and let him know everything that happened last night-- without you." Scott said.

"No!" Aiden said.

"Yes." Scott said.

"And I don't want you listening in. No wolf-hearing." Scott said.

"How would you even know?" Aiden asked.

"I'm a True Alpha-- you have no idea what I can do." Scott said.

"So then, she starts talking about phosphors, and the key having chemicals on it, right? And so that made me think of the chemistry closet, and the fact that someone had to let Barrow in..." stiles said.

"It's gone..." stiles said looking for the key on his key ring.

"Okay, it doesn't matter though. It doesn't matter. I've still got the key--" Stiles said.

"...What the hell?"

"I had it-- I had it here. I had it here this morning, I swear to God, I had it this morning." Stiles said.
