"They're coming back, so we don't have much time to talk." Deaton says, tipping some rubbing alcohol onto a cotton swab.

"What is that?" Scott asks.

"Rubbing alcohol. You don't want it to get infected, do you?" Deaton responds and Aurelia snorts lightly in amusement when Scott shakes his head. "You'll heal the same. Just not as quickly, because of Derek." He explains as Scott winces. 

"Okay, how do you know all this?" Scott asks. "Actually, how do you know anything? And, Lia, what are you doing here?" Scott asks. 

"It's a long story." Deaton responds.

"And I'm just complaining." Aurelia chimes in. 

"What I can tell you, is that I know about your kind. Your kind, I can help." Deaton says, tearing off some tape for the bandage. 

"That's not very sanitary." Aurelia remarks idly when he tears it with his teeth.

"This- This is something different." Deaton says. 

"Well, do you know what did it?" Scott asks.

"No. But the Argents will. And this is the crucial part. They'll have some kind of record or book. It'll have descriptions, histories, notations of all the things that they've discovered." Deaton explains.

"Uh, all the things? How many different things are there?" Scott asks before a car pulls up and all three of them look towards the front of the clinic.

"Get in the back." Aurelia says to Scott, pushing him backwards out of the room as Deaton goes back to 'looking over the body'. She pushes herself back up to sit on the counter just before Chris walks into the room. 

"I'm starting to think I need to buy a more prominent 'closed' sign." Deaton comments and Aurelia smiles slightly in amusement. 

"Aurelia, what are you still doing here?" Chris asks and she shrugs.

"I don't trust you." Aurelia responds before straightening up slightly when he and the hunter behind him move further into the room so Gerard could step through the doorway. 

"Hello, Alan. Miss Alden." Gerard says, glancing at the witch briefly. "It's been a while." He says to Deaton and the druid moves backwards, making Aurelia shift forwards slightly, ready to move to intervene. "The last I heard, you had retired." Gerard says.

"Last I heard, you followed a code of conduct." Deaton retorts and Aurelia fights the urge to comment on that. 

"If you hadn't noticed, this body is one of ours." Chris says.

"I did. But Aurelia also noticed the gunpowder residue on his fingertips." Deaton says and Aurelia frowns slightly when she gets a brief wave of surprise from the two Argents. "So don't assume I'll be swayed by your philosophy just 'cause I'll answer a few questions."

"He was only twenty-five." Chris says and Aurelia can't hold back the scoff she lets out at that comment.

"Killers come in all ages." Deaton responds. 

"All ages, sizes, shapes. It's the last one that concerns us." Gerard responds.

"How about you tell us what you found?" Chris suggests and Aurelia glances back at the body before her eyes widen slightly when she realises where she recognised him from.
