worried about stiles

"I don't know."

"You don't— what do you mean you don't know? You guys spend ninety eight percent of your time together."

"And the other two percent is him probably using the bathroom."

"Are you—?"

"He's right there." The Miller girl cuts him off, looking him over, "Are you okay, Stiles? You look sick?"

"Fine." He nodded, "I'm fine. I need you two to come with me."

Austin was forcefully getting turned around by Stiles before he could even greet Ryder.

"What are we- What are we doing?" The George teen tried asking.

"Scott, come on." Stiles gesture once he saw his friend walking away from his locker.

"What's going on?"

Clambering into a classroom, Stiles finally began to speak,

"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—" Opening the door, the Stilinski was disappointed to see that the evidence was no longer in the board.

"It's gone. Okay, it doesn't matter though. It doesn't matter. I've still got the key." He ran towards the closet, muttering under his breath as he realized it was no longer on his hook, "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."

"The key you were talking about last night?" Scott asked.

"Yeah, I showed it to you, right? Didn't I show it to you?

"No, you just told me about it. I never actually saw it." The look on Stiles' face spoke wonders.

"The key you were talking to the in the hall the day before?" Austin stepped in.

"Yes!" Stiles perked up,"You saw it?"

"I saw it."

"Okay, okay, I was here a couple of hours ago. And the message left to Barrow spelling Kira's name was right there on the board in my handwriting and I had the key to the chemistry closet."

Scott seemed to catch on, "So you unlocked the chemistry closet so Barrow could hide in it from the cops and then you wrote him a message to kill Kira?"

"I know how it sounds. But look at this. This is the news report that came out about Barrow when they caught him, okay? About the shrapnel bomb that he used." He began to dig in his pocket for a note, "See this? See what he did? He put nuts, bolts and screws. And then he hid the bomb and the detonator in a box that he wrapped as a birthday present. What does that sound like to you?

"Coach. The joke we played on Coach."

"That was my idea. You remember? That was my idea. That's no coincidence. It can't be."

Ryder and Austin shared a look. They didn't want to make it obvious that they were worried about him, but he wasn't making it easy.
