"...Ms. Argent? What does she have to do with it?"

"The murder? Nothing, maybe, though she makes the list. That's to get her not to press charges."

"Oh." Pause. "Why? Do you wanna get involved with that, I mean."

"Weird door magic is the most interesting thing that's happened to me in my life, and the kid my dad has basically been trying to adopt slash kidnap just died so, I kind of want to keep track of the people who were in the room."

"...that's reasonable. I don't think Ms. Argent is going to want to see me, but visiting the pawn shop could be a good idea."

"Me and you tag team the pawn shop, me and your mom get the rich lady. Sound good?"

"I don't suppose I can persuade you to let adults handle it?"

"You're a smart woman. I think I'm in this." 

She sighs. "In that case your suggestions seem reasonable."

"So an active crime scene is kind of hard to investigate, unless your dad's the Sheriff. Luckily, one of us in that category. You, Fun Size Parolee, are coming with me. We can leave now, or you can sleep if you want."

"Crime scene?"

"The reason my dad has been worried so much is because Iggy worked at a pawn shop, and there was a shootout there. He was the only survivor, and if this has nothing to do with the magic doors, I'll eat my hat. Or your hat. I don't own a hat."

"And you have permission to visit the scene?"

"Okay, first of all, yes. 'B', it's better to ask for forgiveness. In conclusion, did we introduce ourselves? I'm Stiles."

"I would prefer my daughter not have any" glance at her "further" back at Stiles "problems with the law, if it could be avoided. And yes we did, but I'm Yeong and she's Kaede."

"Okay, fine. I'll get the rich lady and the pawn shop, and you get back to me on the door thing. Deal?"

"I might want to go see the rich lady with you, still."

"How do we get back to you on the door thing, though, isn't that what we're investigating in the first place—mom are you sure I can't go with Stiles, he's the sheriff's son!"

"I'm very responsible. I swear, ask anyone." 

"I—usually—trust my daughter to be responsible, but if you're going to barge into something that can get you in legal trouble..."

"But mom how else are we going to find out what's going on?"

"I could go with this young man to both scenes, and you stay safely out of trouble."

She does not seem to have an argument against that.

"Sure, we can go together. Now, or are we waiting for the morning?"

"Now seems like a good time."
