003 — SCOTTS HOUSE

The two boys from before came and took Derek into the Sheriff's office whilst the Sheriff came out to talk to Laura.

"Did you find anything about the girl?" He asked Parrish who nodded.

"It isn't all good though" He replied wondering whether or not to tell him "She's a mutant" He whispered which caused the Sheriff to look down at his deputy in shock.

"Are you sure?" He asked him as he leaned in to get a better look at the girls file, but the deputy shrugged.

"Not 100%, But if these records are correct it says she's one of them." He gestured to the records in front of him.

"What else does it say?"

"Just that her name is Laura Kinney recently changed to Laura Howlett, meaning her Father is James Howlett...Wolverine" He shared a look with the Sheriff who looked up from the screen over to the girl who was now munching on a chocolate bar they had given her.

"She's from Spanish decent. She's around 12-13 years old and she has a criminal record. Theft, Attempted Murder. Her health record is clean though one of the cleanest I've ever seen, never been in hospitals" He read out to the Sheriff.

"Has she talked to anyone yet?" He asked wanting to know if the girl would talk to them yet.

"No, not really. She only talked to that boy in the other room, the ones who's record came up with Hale's" Jordan replied.

"Okay. Thanks Parrish, I'll handle it from here" The Sheriff patted him on the back before turning to Laura.

"It's Laura, right?" The girl just stared at him as he spoke.

"Look I've seen your record and I know that you probably have a very good excuse to why all of that was on there. Now if you answer a few of my questions I promise I'm not going to press any further charges, Okay?"

She slowly nods.

"I promise I won't to call anyone, no one will know you're here. No scientists or FBI, they won't find out about you Okay?" He tried reassuring her.

"Okay" She spoke to him for the first time and he smiled knowing that she was getting to trust him.

"Now, what happened? My son Stiles said he found you in his Jeep. How did you get there?" He asked her as she looked down at her lap fiddling with her book.

"The hunters took us, Kate the bone woman? She escaped" Laura told him, she could tell he was trying to help to piece it all together and hopefully he would keep his word about not getting anyone involved.

"You were with the Calaveras?" He asked her now knowing that's where his Son went instead of camping.

Laura nods at him in confirmation.

"Papa?" Laura asks him wanting to know if he knew him.

"When did you last see your father" The Sheriff asked her trying to figure out the whole story.

"Before the Calaveras took us" Laura responded.

"And your Father?" He inquired.

She shakes her head, she didn't know where her Father was she just hoped that he was out there looking for her.

"Your Father, he's Wolverine correct?" Laura slowly nods.

"And you, are you like him. A mutant?" He asks even though she already knew the answer he just wanted to hear it from the girl.

She nods again a bit hesitate at first but she figured that if he wanted to lock her up she would've done so already.

"Is that why you were in my sons jeep. Are you looking for your Father?" He asks gently and she nods again tears shining in her eyes.

He placed a hand on her knee "It'll Be Okay. I'm gonna help you look for your Father. Well find him. In the meantime how about you go with my son, he'll take you to our place you can stay there for the night and in the morning we'll try and figure all of this out. In the meantime try not to steal anything else." The Sheriff explained and she nodded grabbing her book along with her bag following the Sheriff to the desk where his son was stood as he waited for Laura and Derek.

The Sheriff quickly pulled Stiles aside explaining the situation. Stiles groaned as this is going to be another kid he's going to have to babysit tonight until Scott gets back but obeys none the less and takes the two to Scott's house where they will wait for him to return.

Stiles opened the front door to the house leading them in "We're just gonna wait here for Scott. Sit quietly, not gonna call or talk to anyone" He tells the two more so to the boy.

"Can I talk to you?" Derek asked Stiles who shook his head

"No" Stiles denied.

"Good" Derek answered back

"Fine"

"What about her?" Derek pointed towards Laura who didn't seem all that interested in what they were talking about.

"She doesn't talk?" Stiles told Derek confused.

"She talks to me" Derek told Stiles, a huge grin plastered on his face amused that she trusted him more than Stiles.

"She what- but, why doesn't she talk to me" He whined.

"She obviously just doesn't like you" Derek gave him a cocky smile before they stepped into the kitchen where Scott's Dad was stood with a bag full of take away.

"Who's gonna talk to him?" Derek asked as Stiles let out a gasp of surprise.

"Are you getting taller?" He asked him in Frustration wondering why now he had to appear.

"What are you guys doing here?" He ignored Stiles question eyeing the two strangers in his house.

"We're waiting for Scott" Derek told him.

"So am I, were suppose to have dinner. I brought extra...you guys hungry" At the mention of food Laura perked up peering around the boys at the man who resembled the other boy at the station, she realised that he must be Scott's Father.

"Yeah" Derek replied the same time Stiles said no and Laura nodded.

"No" Stiles denied "Were not hungry"

"No, I'm starving. Laura? You hungry?" Derek asked the girl who proceeded to nod at Derek's question.

"Si" Stiles stared at her bewildered not hearing her talk before.

"None of us are hungry" Stiles shook his head again "Thanks though" He said wanting to get away from the man knowing that Derek and Laura being around him could cause some complications.

"Okay...well if you're not hungry Stiles, your friends can still eat with us" Raphael responded not knowing what kind of game Stiles was playing. "What's your names?" He directed his question to the other two.

"D-Miguel" Stiles cut off Derek "a-and uh-"

"Laura" Derek told the man before Stiles could make up some ridiculous name for her too.

Stiles shoot him a look "He's, he's my uh cousin Miguel from Mexico and this is uh-"

Derek cut off Stiles again "My sister, Laura" Laura looked up at him confused but knew not to ask questions in front of this man she guessed whoever he was he didn't know about them and didn't need to.

Raphael started a conversation with Derek in Spanish which Laura understood perfectly but she guessed that Stiles didn't know that Derek knew the language judging by his shocked face.

Laura started to shovel food in her mouth as Raphael began to integrate them.

"So uh, what did you say your last names were again?" He asked Derek and Laura.

She opened her mouth to reply but Stiles bet her to it.

"Kinney, Laura Kinney" He told Scott's Dad not wanting her to say her other last name knowing that would expose who she really was "And it's Juarez. Cinqua...Tiago" He trailed off. Derek gave him a confused look, Laura matching his as they tried to understand what he was doing.

"That's a mouthful" Raphael replied as Stiles nods. "How do you spell that?"

"You know K.I.N.N.E.Y, Kinney" Stiles told him as if he was stupid.

"I know how to spell Kinney Stiles. I meant your other cousin"

Derek just looked at Stiles knowing that he dug himself into a bigger hole but he still answered "Phonetically" He said as if it was that simple.

Derek eyed up Mr. McCalls badge which Laura had failed to see.

"Mr McCall, you're a FBI agent?" Derek asked him which caused Laura to nearly choke on her food suddenly becoming self conscious that he will know who she really is and send her away.

"He's low level, very low level. He doesn't even a voice" Stiles waved his hand trying to stop Derek from asking questions but he continued.

"D-do you investigate murders?" Derek asked.

"Yeah sometimes. When it's a federal crime" He answered causing Laura to slowly sink lower in her seat, even she know wanted Derek to stop asking questions because she knew once his were answered the man might start asking some of his own.

"What about fires?" He asked innocently, Laura then judged him under the table with her elbow trying to get him to stop but he didn't.

"Oh my god, I wonder where Scott is...shouldn't Scott be here by now? We should call Scott" Stiles asked nervously causing Laura to nod in agreement as he took out his phone.

"What kind of fires are you talking about?" Me McCall asked suddenly interested in the topic.

"Do you know anything about the Hale family?" He asked the man wanting to know what really happened with him and his family.

As soon as they got to Scott's room Derek shoved Stiles into the door angry that he had lied to him whilst Laura simply sat on Scott's bed whilst watching the two argue.

"Okay. I didn't lie, I omitted a certain truth. Vital truths now that I'm thinking about it" Stiles admitted.

"I don't want to talk to you. I wanna talk to the Alpha. I'll talk to Scott" Derek yelled at him as he let him go.

Stiles held his hands up in surrender "Okay, I'll go get him" He told them "My phones downstairs, I'm gonna call him real quick. You guys stay here just don't move. Don't move" He demanded as he walked out of the room before peering back in again "Don't! I thought you-" He walked off again in search for his phone.

When he left Derek sat besides Laura on Scott's bed.

"At the Sheriff station, I uh, I heard you talking with the Sheriff. He said that your Dad is Wolverine. Is that true?" He asked her and she gave him a confused look.

"I uh didn't mean to eavesdrop I just have excellent hearing. Werewolf remember" He said explaining himself.

"Yes, my Father is Wolverine. Do you know him?" She asked hopefully.

"Well uh...no. But I'll help you find him" He told her not wanting her to be upset. She smiled up at him.

"Can I see? Like do you have claws like him?" Derek asked in fascination.

Laura nodded as she balled up one of her fists causing her metal claws to extract.

"Cool" Derek muttered impressed by them.

"I heal fast too" She looked up at him happy that someone found her interesting.

"No way! Me too" He replied.

"Claws?" She asked him hoping he knew what she meant.

He did as he flicked out his hand showing her his claws although they weren't as good as hers.

Their conversation got interrupted when Scott's bedroom door opened revealing a blonde haired lady probably in her thirty's. Derek stood up as she entered.

"Kate?" He asked her seeing her familiar face although it looked different, older.

"Hey, handsome. Been a long time." She giggled "Longer than you think" Her eyes moved over to the girl that was still sat on Scott's bed.

"Who's your little friend? Don't tell me you already replaced me?" Kate said with false hurt in her voice.

"This is Laura. She's looking for her Father, the Calaveras took her" He told Kate before looking at Laura "Don't worry, you can trust Kate she can help us" He told her. Laura gave him an inside look but she trusted Derek and so if Derek trusted this woman she should too right?

"So, if you actually think that Kate's coming to find him..." Stiles walked back into Scott's now empty room watching as Kate jumped out of the window with Laura and Derek.

"You might be right" He told Scott who was on the other line. "She took Laura as well...great, my Dad's gonna kill me" Stiles groaned hitting his head on the doorframe.
