Teen Wolf: Part Three: Pack is Family, Family is Pack - pre - Stiles/Derek, background Scott/Allis
"Nobody knows we've met. There's no way to connect us."
"Except through Deaton. They know I know your boss. That's a connection, dumbass."
"I know that, but what else are you going to do? And Sheriff Argent is a good man and a good sheriff. He'll protect you."
"He's right, Stiles. You know you can trust Chris and I trust Derek. Even Kate will think twice before trying anything else."
"Yeah, it's that second thought I'm worried about."
"Stiles, you don't have a lot of options. The Hales are very well respected. Kate and Gerard would be crossing more than Chris if they hurt any of them."
Stiles wavered. He needed to stay. He needed to keep the pack safe. Could he do that if he left? No. He didn't want to think it, much less believe it, but he knew Melissa and Scott were in more danger form Michael than the Argents. Maybe if he could find Michael quickly, maybe he could keep Derek safe too. Derek and Deaton. Melissa. Scott.
"Fine, but if there's even a hint of trouble, I figure something else out."
"Deal."
