Derek wasn't the most friendly or outgoing person. He generally preferred his own company to that of... pretty much anyone else. Sure, he had people he considered friends, but they were few and far between. Most of them were in Beacon Hills though and that's why he was back in the town he had left behind so many months ago. There was too much pain here, too many bad memories, and he was tired of the weight of it hanging around him.
But there was a threat in town and he couldn't let that go. Especially after his own run-in with the chimera. He understood why Argent called him and knew that it was going to take all hands on deck to eliminate this threat.
He was standing in the parking lot of the high school, listening to Stiles yammer on about... something. Honestly, Derek tuned out most of the time when Stiles talked. A familiar scent caught his attention and he scanned the area, eyes falling on the girl he met the week before when he arrived back in town. Judith. She saved his life, of course he remembered her name. In fact, he had been meaning to give her a call to check in and just hadn't had a chance.
Without bothering to excuse himself, he walked away from the group and jogged across the lot to greet her. "Hey."
