Declan tried to not smirk at the word 'backdoor'. As childish as it was, he couldn't help but find dirty humor in it. He shrugged in response to her question, pulling his hand away from the door as he turned around.
"Might as well. Let's try the back before we have to resort to actual B&E." he laughed, tapping her shoulder with his hand as he walked passed, meaning for her to follow him. Declan walked towards the back, all the while thinking of the scent of the werewolf he'd not recognized. Why was it here in Red Lake? And why was it killing people? Did... it not care that there were more of them in this town, and something like this could mean particularly bad news for the rest of them? Something just wasn't right. Declan wanted to find this wolf as soon as possible.
He grabbed the handle to the back door and pulled hard, tugging it wide open to allow Finley to step through first. "If the murderer hasn't fled the scene of the crime, and he's inside, at least he'll go after you first and give me a headstart." Declan laughed and flashed a charming smirk-smile Finley's way.

At Olivia's suggestion to pair Taylor up with Josh, a harsh chill ran down her spine as she turned bright red. She glared at her friend, shaking her head at her before she turned towards her crush as he spoke. His question sent her into a dead stop, exchanging a glance between the two girls sitting across from her before turning back to the boy. She simply shrugged her shoulders and decided to use the only excuse she had, which wasn't exactly a hop and a skip from the truth.. because it was a part of her truth, just not the whole truth.
"I worked-" the word caught in Taylor's throat, but not much longer than a heartbeat before she corrected herself and continued. "-work with Riley. If I was her, and she me... I'd want her to make every attempt in finding me, too. And it's not that I think the cops missed something. Well, okay yeah, it is. Kind of. I just think it's better to check things over multiple times, from multiple eyes and/or points of view." She held Josh's gaze as she took a quick sip of her coffee, adding simply, "We may not be from this town, but we live in it. These are our people as much as we are theirs." She turned away from Josh only to finish the last of her toast and eggs, licking her lips lightly before wiping her mouth with her napkin. Out of pure habit, she began to clean up her little area, piling the utensils and napkin on her plate, shoving it towards the end of the table.
