"I'm coming with you." Irene stated

"Irene-"

"Sorry, sour wolf, I wasn't asking" She smiled as she patted Derek's shoulder, walking outside towards his car, not even giving him a chance to object

Irene sat in the passenger side with Isaac in the back as they headed for the Animal Clinic where Scott worked. She didn't know why or what for but all she knew was that she didn't want to be left in the dark anymore. She wanted all the information she could get

"What's he doing here?" Scott asked as he opened the door, referring to Isaac

"I need him." Derek told the teenager

"I don't trust him."

"Yeah, well, he doesn't trust you either" Isaac replied

"You know what? And Derek doesn't really care"

"You guys are weird. Wasn't aware we now refer to ourselves in third-person" Irene groaned as she leaned against a wall, glaring at the three guys

"Now where's the vet? Is he going to help us or not?" Derek asked Scott

"That depends" Doctor Deaton spoke up, leaning against the side of the door frame "Your friend, Jackson. Are we planning to kill him or save him?" He asked

"Kill him." Irene said blankly

"Kill him" Derek agreed

"Save him," Scott said at the same time. He turned to them both and glared "Save.Him."

Irene and Derek both rolled their eyes and let out an annoyed exhale, just looking over at the vet

"Save him" Scott repeated

"I still want to kill him..." Irene mumbled to Isaac who agreed with her

They all followed Deaton into the other room with a big metal table. He brought over a few glass jars with different things inside of them and strange markings on the lids. Isaac went to touch one of them but Derek gripped his wrist, holding it above the jars

"Watch what you touch"

"Yeah Isaac~" Irene grinned. Isaac leaned down and rested his elbows on the table, looking up at Deaton

"So, what are you? Some kind of witch?"

"Are you serious?" She whispered "Is he serious?" She repeated, now turning to Derek

"No, i'm a veterinarian" Deaton replied

"Oh"

"Unfortunately, I don't have anything here that's going to be an effective defense against a paralytic toxin" Deaton admitted

"We're open to suggestions"

"What about an effective offense?" Isaac asked

"We already tried. I nearly took its head off. And Argent emptied an entire clip into it. The thing just gets back up" Derek told them all

"That's not good for us" Irene mumbled, fidgeting with her nail, picking at the skin around it

"Has it shown any weaknesses?" Deaton asked Derek

"Well, one. It can't swim"

"Does that go for Jackson as well?"

"No...Jackson's the captain of the swim team. And he makes an effort to be a pain in the ass about it" Irene scoffed

"Essentially, you're trying to catch two people" He said as he rummaged through his drawers before turning back to them and showing them a silver charm. "A puppet"
