"Have you got anything?" Lydia murmured to the were-coyote as she sniffed the locker door of the infected student.
"No, it's weak." Malia mumbled, continuously sniffed the metal. Lydia leaned against the locker next to her friend, noticing the strange stairs they were receiving from passing students.
"You need to hurry up because people are staring." Lydia sang under her breath, smiling awkwardly at the faces in front of her.
"Got it." Malia stood up straight, her nose in the air. She grabbed Lydia's arm and lead her towards the school doors. "You're driving."
"Obviously." Lydia rolled her eyes. "Are you going to be able to hold onto the scent in a vehicle?"
Malia shrugged. "Maybe. I'll just stick my head out of the window."
Lydia watched the girl walk on and sighed. "I can't remember a time when my life was actually normal."
..
"Any news?" The sheriff rose from his desk after clocking Agent McCall enter his office.
"One boy is infected, the rest of the school is clear." McCall replied. The sheriff loosened up a bit. He knew Stiles and his friends were okay - Stiles rung him earlier - but it was still playing on his mind all day.
"What now?"
"The hospital has sectioned off the top floor to treat the infected." McCall didn't sound too pleased about that; the sheriff assumed Melissa was involved somewhere along the line. "Altogether we have fifteen being treated."
"Any news on the tests in Africa?" The sheriff asked.
McCall sat down and sighed. "The infected bodies are gradually showing the same symptoms as the birds. It's amazing; they're dead but yet their skin is turning see-through. It's as if the infection is still stimulating through their system."
The sheriff sat down and massaged his temples. "This is insane."
"You're not the first to say that, sheriff."
..
Stiles walked out of the changing rooms with Scott on his tail, his phone against his ear and a frown on his face. "Hey, where are you?"
"Uh..." Malia turned to face Lydia as the were-coyote stretched her head of the window like an excited puppy.
"Library!" Lydia mouthed, her eyes moving from Malia to the road.
"We're at the library." Malia yelled through the wind. "Lydia's helping me with my biology homework."
"What's that noise?" Stiles frowned.
Malia felt her hair whip around her face as she looked at the road ahead. "Air conditioning."
Lydia rolled her eyes; Stiles' traits seemed to have been rubbing off on Malia.
"Uh, okay. Well we're going to grab some food if you both want to join us." Stiles asked, turning to see Scott greet Kira.
"I'm not sure, we're really getting into this homework." Malia shrugged at Lydia as she spoke.
"O...kay, well text me if you change your mind." Stiles replied with a raised eyebrow. They said their goodbyes and hung up.
"Good god, Malia!" Lydia sighed, massaging her head as she drove.
"I tried my best!"
"Where are we going?"
"Turn left here. I've got a feeling we're heading towards the-"
"The hospital." Lydia nodded. "Yep, I got that."
