"So, let me get this straight... You kidnapped Jackson and locked him in one of your dad's prisoner... moving... car shit after you found him as a kanima at a gay club?" Will asked after being woken up at 5am by Stiles, telling him to meet him in the woods and to leave Steph at home.

Stiles pulled his lips into a line before pursing his lips and nodding. "Yep. Yes. And Jackson somewhat tolerates you so you're going in there with me." Stiles said, pushing a ham and cheese sandwich into Will's chest. Will, not knowing what to do with the food, started unwrapping it and eating as he followed Stiles into the back of the truck where they were instantly met with an angry Jackson.

" Okay, I bought you some foo-" "Let me out now!" Jackson screamed, making the two boys jump back, Stiles growing aggravated. "You know, I put those pants on you, all right, buddy? One leg at a time. Being all up-close and personal with your junk wasn't exactly a highlight of my day. So don't think this is fun for me either."

Will quickly butted in, not wanting Stiles to get angrier. " You know we're actually doing you a favor?" Jackson turned to Will, his eye brows raised annoyedly. "This is doing me a favor?" The two nodded as if it was obvious.

"Yes. You're... you're killing people." Will said as Stiles nodded. "To death." Will turned to Stiles as if he was stupid. "That's what killing someone means." Will shook his head and looked back at Jackson. "And until we can figure out how to stop you, you're gonna stay in here. I'm sorry."

Stiles sighed, pulling the turkey sandwich out of his pocket. "Now... do you want the ham and cheese, or the Turkey club?" Will's eyes went wide as he took another bite of the ham and cheese. "I think he wants turkey." Stiles glared at Will who tried to subtly hide the sandwich behind his back.

"You actually think my parents won't be looking for me?" Jackson seethed. "Uh, well... not if they don't think anything's wrong." Stiles muttered before showing off Jacksons phone where Stiles texted Jackson's parents.

...

At school, Stephanie waited outside of Scott's class when the bell rang and as soon as she saw him, she grabbed onto his ear, pulling him with her down the hall. "I swear, if my brother is with Stiles. doing something illegal, I will kill all three of you." She grumbled as Scott winced.

Stephanie finally let him go once she reached her locker, almost pushing his head away as she unlocked her locker. "They're keeping an eye on Jackson, Steph." Scott mumbled and Stephanie stopped putting the combination into her locker, slowly turning to her friend. "And where is Jackson?"

Scott winced at the question. "In the middle of the woods chained up to one of the police trucks."

Stephanie's eyes went the size of saucers as Scott placed a hand on each of her shoulders. "But before you freak out. You need to help me after school." Stephanie took in a deep breath, calming down a bit and making him continue. "Look, when Stiles and I followed Jackson last night, he almost killed Danny." Stephanie's face scrunched, taken aback by his words. "Why would he try to kill Danny?"

Scott shrugged, finally letting go of her arms. "That's what we'll need to figure out. After school. You and I are going to the hospital to check on him." Scott said before walking away. Stephanie sighed, going back to opening her locker.

She felt someone come up beside her but figured it was the kid who had the locker beside her and ignored it.

"You know... I have absolutely no clue how you got me off of you last night or how your eyes turned purple but it was pretty cool." The voice whispered so no one else heard and Stephanie immediately knew who it was. Isaac Lahey.

Stephanie let out a small hum, opening her locker and put away her chemistry book, grabbing her history one. "Thanks. I'll do it again if you try to lay another hand on my friends again." Stephanie said, a big smirk on her face as she turned to face him completely before slamming her locker shut and walked passed him to get to her next class, making sure to bump his shoulder along the way.

Not knowing the stares that were set on the back of her head.

...

"Scales?" Jackson asked and the two sitting across from him shook their heads. "No, more like a reptile. Um, and, uh, your claws have this liquid that paralyzes people, and you have a tail." Stiles said and Jackson's eye brows raised. "I have a tail?"

Will nodded, pursing his lips. "Yeah, you have a tail. Like a little gecko." He gave him a cheeky smile to piss him off.

"Does it do anything?" Will shrugged. "No, not that I know of."

Jackson nodded before jumping at Stiles and Will but got stopped by the chains. "Can I use it to strangle you?"

Stiles rolled his eyes. "You still don't believe us. All right. The night of the semi-final game, what did you do right after?" "I went home." Jackson immediately answered and clenched his jaw. "Are you sure about that?" Will asked and Jackson slowly turned to Will, angered even more. "Yes, Will. What the hell else would I do?"

"You attacked me, Derek and Steph at the school, and you trapped us in the pool. You also killed a mechanic... right in front of me, by the way. That was lovely. And one of argent's hunters. Oh, and last night, you tried to kill Danny." Stiles immediately answered and Will's brows furrowed. "He almost killed Danny?"

Stiles nodded as Jackson tilted his head to the side. "Why would I want to kill my best friend?" "Well, that's what Scott's out trying to figure out right now." Stiles said and Jackson hummed. "What, maybe, he should be trying to figure out is how he's going to pay for a lawyer when I prosecute your asses all the way to jail!"

Will widened his eyes sarcastically and readjusted his seat. "All right, well, first of all... I didn't kidnap you. It was all them." Will quickly said, pointing at Stiles who's eyes went wide as he continued. "Also, tell me this. On the night of the first full moon, what happened?"

"Nothing. Nothing happened." Jackson said, almost disappointingly, making Will groan. "Yeah... I'm not really liking the vibe in here. I'm going outside."

Will barely even got a chance to close the door before Allison ran over to him, out of breath. "They know."

"What?" Will asked as he knocked on the back door as if to tell Stiles to come outside.

"They know Jackson's missing." Allison said again once Stiles was out and he instantly shook his head. "No, they can't. I've been texting his parents since last night. They don't have a clue."

"My grandfather told me his parents went to the police. They know." Stiles gasped, throwing the phone to Will who immediately threw it to Allison and opened the drivers side door where they could here the police comms.

"All available units proceed to beacon hills preserve as instructed. Proceed with caution until Sheriff Stilinski's arrival. Proceed with caution." The radio voice spoke and Will immediately hopped into the drivers seat, Allison taking the passengers and Stiles squishing in between them.

"Where are we going?" Allison asked as Stiles leaned over her to throw Jackson's phone out the window as Will pressed on the gas. "Somewhere very far from this."

...

"You sure everything's okay between you and Jackson?" Stephanie asked Danny who looked at her and Scott like they were crazy. "Yeah, everything's fine. Did the cops have to take my fake I.D.?"

"You didn't do anything to make him angry?" Scott asked, making Danny chuckle. "How angry?"

Stephanie pursed her lips, crossing her arms. "On a scale of one to ten... one being "kind of irritated," and ten "wanting to kill you... I don't know... violently."

"Jackson's kind of always at a four, but we're good. I was actually doing him a favor." Danny said, making Stephanie and Stiles straighten up. "What favor?" Scott asked.

"I was recovering a video for him. I put it on my tablet... Which is in the trunk of my car, and probably still at the club." Danny groaned out as Stephanie took a step closer to him. "What was on the video?"

Danny's eyes went wide, realizing he just exposed Jackson. "I'm not really supposed to say."

"Danny, what if I told you this could be a matter of life and death?" Scott asked and Danny shook his head. "I'm not supposed to say."

Stephanie sighed, running a hand down her face. "Okay. What if we can get you your fake I.D. Back?"

Danny straightened up at her words and finally complied.

Stephanie and Scott went running down the hallways out of the hospital, just before they could leave the hospital, Scott's mom stopped them, looking very mad at her son. Stephanie's eyes went wide at the woman, patting Scott's shoulder. "This looks like a you problem. Meet me at the car."

...

Considering Stephanie didn't have super speed and Scott did, he quickly caught up with her and the two walked the rest of the way to the club in silence. When they got to Danny's car, Stephanie immediately went to try to open the trunk in hopes Danny accidentally left it unlocked.

The trunk opened but not because Danny kept it unlocked but because someone broke the lock. The two quickly looked around the trunk and found no tablet.

...

"If Jackson doesn't remember being the Kanima, he's definitely not gonna remember stealing Danny's tablet." Scott groaned after he and Steph met up with Will, Stiles and Allison, filling each other in on everything.

"Why would he steal the thing if he doesn't even know what's on it?" Stiles asked annoyed while Will's brows furrowed. "What if someone else took it?" Stephanie turned to her brother, the same confused face. "Then somebody else knows what he is."

"Which could mean someone's protecting him." Scott breathed out in realization. "Like the bestiary says, "the Kanima seeks a friend," right?" Allison asked and Stiles put a hand up. "Okay, hold on. So, somebody watches Jackson make a video of himself turning into the Kanima, and then just erases part of it so he wouldn't know? I mean, who would do that?"

"Somebody who wanted to protect him?" Stephanie asked and Scott shook his head. "There's something else. You said the only thing you found online about the Kanima is that it goes after murderers. What if that's actually true?" Scott asked Stiles and he immediately shook his head.

"Well, no, it can't be. Tried to kill all of us, remember? I don't know about you guys, but I haven't murdered anybody lately." Stiles said and Will shook his head, indicating he hadn't murdered anyone.

"But I-I don't think that it was actually trying to kill us." Scott mumbled before turning to Allison. "Remember when we were at Isaac's the first time, it just went right by us, didn't it?"

Allison shrugged, nodding her head. "You're right, it just ran off."

Scott turned to Stiles. "And it didn't kill you in the mechanic's garage."

"Well, yeah, but it tried to kill me, Steph and Derek in the pool." Stiles said and Stephanie nodded her head. "Did it?" Scott asked and Stephanie gave him a confused look as Stiles rolled his eyes. "It would've." "It was waiting for us to come out." Stephanie added.

"What if it was trying to keep you in?" Scott asked and Stiles let out a quiet gasp.  "Why do I feel so violated all of a sudden?"

"Because there's something else going on. We don't know what it is. We don't know anything about what's going on with Jackson, or why someone's protecting him-" "Know thy enemy." Allison cut Scott off, making the four of them turn to her. "Just something my grandfather said." Allison shrugged off.

"All right, I got it." Stiles announced, making them all turn to him. "Kill Jackson. Problem solved." Stephanie clenched her jaw, whacking the back of Stiles' head.

"He risked his life for us. Against Peter, you remember that?" Scott asked and Stiles nodded over exaggeratingly.  "Yes, but what did we just find out? He got the bite from Derek. It's funny how he just got exactly what he wanted by supposedly risking his life for us, it's funny."

"Yeah, it doesn't mean he's not still worth saving." Scott butted in. Stiles sighed, grumbling under his breath. "It's always something with him, though."

"He doesn't know what he's doing. I didn't either." Scott yelled, turning to Allison. "You remember when I almost killed you and Jackson?" Allison slowly nodded.

"I had someone to stop me. He has nobody." Scott breathed out, making Stiles scoff. "That's his own fault."

Stephanie shook her head at Stiles' words. "Doesn't matter. If we can save him, we should try."

...

"3am, Stiles. 3 in the goddamn morning." Stephanie whisper yelled as she crawled into the backseat of Stiles' jeep as Will tiredly got in the passengers seat. Stiles turned to Will with wide eyes at the angry Steph in the back but Will just shrugged, used to the overly tired attitude she had when she wakes up too early.

Stephanie was getting a piggy back ride from Stiles, he didn't really get much say in it considering she jumped on him as soon as he got out of the car.

As they walked closer and closer to the truck Jackson was staying in, Will seemed to be the only run to notice the back doors ripped off and Jackson gone.

"Aw.. Shit." Will groaned, making Stiles turn to see what he was looking at, his eyes going wide and running to the car, Scott and Allison were keeping watch in. Stephanie groaned and the bouncy feeling of Stiles running but he ignored her, pounding on the window of the car where Allison and Scott laid naked, a thin blanket over them.

Will awkwardly turned away as Stephanie stuffed her face into Stiles' shirt, too tired to even care that the two teens weren't properly watching Jackson. "You guys might wanna come take a look at this." Stiles said and the couple quickly got dressed.

Allison let out a scared breath at the sight of the truck. "I have to tell my father." Scott started to walk away, Stephanie, being a little more awake now, turned to him with a scrunched face. "Scott. He's going to kill someone."

Scott sighed, turning to Allison. "Okay, tell him. Tell him everything."

"Scott, I gotta tell mine too." Stiles mumbled as Stephanie chuckled from above him. "Me and Will are good." Will snickered, high fiving Steph before meeting the glares of Stiles and Allison.

"This is all my fault." Scott muttered and Allison quickly shook her head. "It's not. But we have to tell them. We're just a bunch of teenagers. We can't handle this."

Scott slowly nodded. "You're right." Will let out a small nod before turning to Stiles with furrowed brows. "How you gonna make your dad believe all this?" Stiles sighed, readjusting Stephanie on his back and shrugged. "I don't know."

Scott turned around, flashing his wolf eyes. "He'll believe me."

...

When the sun rose, Will and Scott went with Stiles to tell his father everything.

"Could you buzz us in? I gotta see my dad." Stiles asked the person at the front desk who just rolled their eyes, buzzing the boys in.

When they walked into the Sheriffs office, the three boys eyes went wide at the four men in the room.

The Sheriff, Jackson, his father and Will's father who was a deputy.

"Will, Scott, Stiles. Perfect timing." Sheriff Stilinski said as Will tried to look anywhere but his fathers angry eyes. "Have you met Jackson's father, Mr. David Whittemore? Esquire."

"That means lawyer." Will's dad said, crossing his arms.
