Derek: just tell your father that it was a bear attack or something
Derek chuckles as he looks at Isaac

Isaac can't help but laugh
Isaac: A bear attack? I don't think he'd buy that

Derek: you'll think of something
Derek pulls up to the ruins of the hale house and leads Isaac inside
Derek: its not all burnt down rubble
He opens the door to the basement and leads Isaac downstairs as there's lights and Derek has his own bedroom set up down there
Derek: make yourself comfortable

Isaac enters the house with Derek and has to admit that it's a pretty creepy setting - and old, mansion-like house almost completely in ruins in the middle of a lonely forest.
He sits down on a big couch, kicking his shoes off before he does so because he's used to his father's rule of taking them off inside the house
Isaac: So...you live here alone?

Derek nods and sits next to Isaac
Derek: I do; only person that survived the fire was my uncle Peter and he's stuck in a burn unit in beacon hills memorial hospital. He hasn't said a word since they found him
Offline
Isaac feels a bit uncomfortable, not used to talking about feelings and serious topics
Isaac: That must be hard, living all alone

Derek: I'm used to it by now. You go to beacon hills high right? Do you know Scott McCall?

Isaac: Well, I have a few classes with him and he's on the lacrosse team with me, but I'm not sure if we've actually ever spoken. Why?
Offline
Derek: he's a close friend of mine....I'm looking after him

Isaac: You've been looking after him? Is he going through a tough time or something?
