BH Sheriff's Station | Evening

[robinonadderall]

Stiles	Since Stiles was home for once he figured now wouldn't be a bad time to visit his mom's grave with his dad. They usually did it at least a couple times a year though it had been happening more infrequently since he had left for Fandom. He just had to wait around in his father's office a bit until he was ready to go. "You know the last time we brought one of these to her grave it was stolen the same day?" Stiles said, arranging the flowers he had bought for the occasion. "100 bucks down the drain." He seemed to realize he wasn't being listened to. "Hey, dad?" Stiles leaned over the desk to see his father sitting on the floor with paperwork all around him. "What are you doing?"
Sheriff Stilinski	"Working," the sheriff answered, not looking up from his paperwork. "And, hey, if somebody wants flowers that badly, they can have them. It's the gesture."
Stiles	Stiles moving around the desk, realizing that this mess was different from the usual chaos that was his dad's office. "What is all this?"
Sheriff Stilinski	"I'm looking over some old cases with a more illuminated perspective, if you know what I mean."
Stiles	Stiles grabbed a folder off the top of one of the stacks. "Strange sighting of bipedal lizard man sprinting across freeway."
Sheriff Stilinski	"Kanima, probably." Hopefully.
Stiles	Stiles frowned. "Dad, you're not going through your old cases seeing if any of them had anything to do with the supernatural, are you?" Because that path led only to crippling guilt.
Sheriff Stilinski	The sheriff sighed. "I admit the opening of my eyes to the greater mysteries of the universe has got me...reassessing. There's at least 100 cases here where I can look at the details and ask myself 'if I knew then what I know now'…"
Stiles	"Yeah but are you sure you want to go down that path?" Crippling guilt!
Sheriff Stilinski	"Do I have a choice? There's one case in particular that I can't get out of my head," he said, getting up from the floor and wandering over to his cork board filled with pictures from open cases. "Eight years ago when I was elected sheriff of the county my first official duty was to tell a man that not only his wife and two kids died in a car accident, but the body of his nine year old daughter had been dragged from the wreckage by coyotes."
Stiles	"You mean dragged and eaten?" Stiles hated coyotes, he really did. They were creepy.
Sheriff Stilinski	"We didn't find the car until three days after the crash. They had driven off the road into a pretty deep ravine," Sheriff Stilinski said. "The two bodies that were still in the car were covered in bites and slashes." This town, seriously.
Stiles	Yikes. "So you're thinking bites and claw marks, probably a werewolf attack?"
Sheriff Stilinski	"Maybe." Maybe meaning yes.
Stiles	"But coyotes they scavenge, right? Couldn't they have just left the bites and slashes?" SERIOUSLY. COYOTES SUCKED.
Sheriff Stilinski	"Absolutely. But guess what night the accident occurred on?" Sheriff Stilinski said, handing Stiles the case file.
Stiles	"Night of the full moon." Yeah, okay, that might have been something. Stiles put the file down on top of the box and frowned when he noticed a sticker that read "To: Agent McCall, FBI". "Hey, dad, where are all these going?"
Sheriff Stilinski	The sheriff sighed. "Yeah, we probably need to talk about that." He took a seat in his chair and rubbed at his head. "Agent McCall is doing his very best to get me impeached."
Stiles	Stiles wished he could be surprised but...yeah. Scott's dad was a dick and had a hate on for his dad. "What evidence does he have against you?"
Sheriff Stilinski	"He's trying to use my lack of closed cases against me, along with the high murder rate." He also wouldn't mention it to Stiles, but his son's criminal history might have made an appearance as well.
Stiles	"Explains why you're going over old cases," Stiles said. "Anything I can do to help?"
Sheriff Stilinski	"Don't worry about it," he said. "We'll figure something out."
