A light sweat gathers on Claire's forehead as she sleeps in a bed covered by a fur rug while her mystery hero sits at his homemade table cleaning his vast selection of guns. The man looks to be in his early thirties and his roughly shaven face along with his rough overgrown hair proves that it has been a while since he last took some TLC time out for himself. The man glances over towards Claire when he notices a red light beginning to flash over his front door of the log cabin. Reaching under the table the man pulls out a loaded gun and heads outside positioning himself behind a tree while he watches a Blue Toyota Truck pull up alongside the cabin. The man waits until he hears the visitor get out of their car and make their way towards the cabin door until finally he jumps out from behind his tree and aims his gun at the visitors head. Just as quickly as he aimed his gun the man quickly lowers upon realising who is visitor is.

"Jesus Sammy you scared the hell out of me."

"Sorry Dean. I've been trying to call and email you for days but I couldn't get through. I was getting worried." Sam has barely changed over the last 5 years except for his young puppy dog face seems to have matured into that of a young confident male.

"Yer well there's lots of cops and park rangers about and I had to cut the electricity so that they couldn't track down any incoming or outgoing frequencies. Jesus I nearly killed you just then. Why didn't you tell me you had a new car?"

"Well I would have but like I said I tried calling."

"Yer, yer. You bring some beer?"

"Of course."

"Well then come inside." Dean says as he hugs Sam and then enters the cabin.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

"Sorry it's been a while Dean, work is just hectic at the moment and…"

"Yer new excuses I now."

"Come on man you now it's not like that."

"Sammy chill, I'm just messing with ya. So how are things?" Dean says as he sits back down at the table while Sammy walks around the cabin inspecting the freshly killed Rabbit which lies on the sideboard ready to be de-skinned.

"Things are going good thanks. Actually I……." Sam spots Claire asleep in Dean's bed. "Err Dean are you aware that there is a girl in your bed?"

"Oh….yer, I found her in the woods two days ago. Her campsite was attacked and she was pretty messed up. I brought her back here and cleaned her up."

"You brought her here. Why didn't you take her to the hospital?"

"Because she wouldn't have survived if I did. Whatever attacked her sure did make its mark upon her. She needed stitching up straight away. To be honest I still don't know if she's gonna make it."

"Wait a minute." Sam walks over and takes a closer look at Clare. "Dean this girl is off the news. Everyone in the town is looking for her."

"I know."

"Then you now it's not safe to have her here. They have tracking dogs and helicopters out for her. They could find you Dean."

"Like I said I know, hence the power being switched off for my cabin. Besides I already went back and covered our tracks and scent so we should be ok. What are the reports saying attack them?"

"A bear."

"A bear? I had a feeling they would say something like that."

"How did you come across her?"

"Well about five days ago I started to get cabin fever and I decided to go for a little hike. And don't roll your eyes at me Sammy. I was only planning on being away for a couple of days. Anyway I was on my journey back home when I heard the commotion coming from the campsite. By the time I got there I was too late for the others but not for her."

"Was it a Wendigo?"

"I think so. I didn't even know there was one around in this area."

"You didn't now because you had no reason to check."

Sam and Dean look back as Claire lets out a slight whimper.

"Have you given her anything for the pain?"

"A few things. Right now the only thing that seems to be working is that bag of herbs Missouri gave us a couple of years back."

"What you going to do with her?"

"When, IF she gets better, I'll take her down to the local town and drop her off outside the hospital."

"You're so lucky Emma isn't here, she would so kick your ass for bringing that girl here."

"Talking about Ems how is she?"

"She's good. She was going to come today but someone at work called in sick and so she had to go in. Actually that's another thing why I came here today, besides the fact that I thought something had happened to you. Emma is pregnant again. You're going to be an uncle once more."

"Wow Sammy. Congratulations"

"It's a boy."

"I always knew you would be the one to have a son to carry on the family name."

"You now it could still be you Dean. You can still have the family life if you choose it."

"And give up all this reclusive lifestyle? No I'm ok. Besides seeing what you and Emma went through I think I'll stay where I am. Or should I be calling you Mark and Michelle now?"

"You now we had to change our names because of the feds. We were getting sick and tired of worrying who was knocking at the door just because it had the name 'Winchester' on the mail box."

"Yer yer I now. Do you at least miss it?"

"You now I do Dean, but right now I need to support my family. But you know that if you ever need me I'll be their right."

"I now you will. Besides without you being my internet research ticket I wouldn't get half the jobs I do would I?"

"Well that's true."
