Yeong receives a call. Her daughter, it transpires, was caught attempting to sneak into the Argent residence. She got quite a ways in before she was found by the eccentric millionaire's security, and both they and officers of the law were unable to extract how she did it from her. From the exasperated tone of voice of the officer who called her, Yeong could just picture the smug look her daughter must've had on her face while being interrogated, or as close to that as a minor could be.

She sighs and walks into the police station.

He leads the way- though they probably remember how to get to the station.

Sheriff Stilinski is sitting behind his desk, in his office.

Stiles...waits outside. 

Permalink

Kaede does as well.

"Sheriff Stilinski?"

Permalink

He looks up, sighing. 

"What did Stiles do?"

Permalink

Oh does she know that feeling.

"Nothing. I just wanted to see how you were doing."

Permalink

"I'm dealing. You were the one who was there." 

Permalink

"Yes, but you knew him." She sighs. "He asked me to tell you he's sorry. I—didn't mention it before, it happened very fast, but I thought you should know." That is, of course, a lie, but she's pretty sure it's true anyway.

"Right."

He swallows, closing his eyes.

"Thanks for telling me. Did he- do you know anything about what he was doing there? Why didn't he- did he say anything, do anything else?" 

Permalink

She shakes her head. "He looked like he was trying to say something else, but..."

Permalink

"Thank you. If there's anything I can do for you or your daughter, tell me." 

Permalink

She nods. "I will. And I'm very sorry for your loss."

Permalink

That seems to be that. 

He isn't feeling very personable.

Permalink

She ducks her head and heads outside.

...where Stiles is laughing at something Kaede just said. 

It probably wasn't that funny. 

Permalink

No, it wasn't, but Kaede is also aware of this.

Permalink

"We should go," Yeong says, raising an eyebrow at her son.

Permalink

Who winks back at her.

Permalink

"Sure. Anything else we need to do? Last-minute inspiration?" 

Permalink

"I don't think so."

Permalink

In which case, Stiles will drive them...somewhere.

"Who, uh, knows how to get there? Did we talk about this?"

Permalink

"I do," she says, and gives directions.

Permalink

So Stiles drives them to a large suburban home.

More like a mansion, really. It's not quite in a neighborhood, so much as adjacent to some.

She rings the doorbell.
