Lucifer just sat on the couch, slowly taking in the extent of the situation. The Winchesters were here because, of course, it can always get worse. He watched as Sam, Dean, and Syd argued over what to do next. Dean wanted to be the one to run back into the station, while Sam would help protect their cabin. Sam pointed out that going out there alone was suicidal. They'd have a much better chance with the two of them. Syd disagreed with both plans.

"It's reckless! And what happens if it gets you both before you even get to the radio? Did you even see what it did to my car?" Syd asked angrily with her arms crossed in front of her.

"What do you think we should do then?" Dean snapped back.

"I'll go too. At least to distract it while you get closer to the ranger's cabin. I won't go too far, and I can run back to the cabin if need be."

"What are you going to do when it attacks you? Hit it with the bat? We have a regular Ted Williams over here."

Syd glared at him as she tried to calmly respond, "Yes. I'll hit it repeatedly if need be."

Dean rolled his eyes and looked to his brother for help.

"Syd, this sounds weird. But this is what we do. We do have experience with this. You need to trust us," Sam said gently, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Three is better than two no matter how you look at it. That way it has to get two of us first. It's not much better but still better. It buys us a little more time. Plus Nick's hurt. If you two get attacked, then it'll just be us again, and the ranger lost his life for nothing."

Lucifer silently cursed Syd as the Winchesters' attention landed on him.

"So what happened to you?" Dean asked him, while Syd looked over quizzically.

"I haven't been entirely forthright with you. My name's Alastair Davenport. Alastair Nicholas Davenport," Lucifer amended when Syd started to glare at him. Her body language relaxed somewhat, but she was still tense. "I was attending a colleague's wedding in Shenandoah. As I was walking back to my hotel, I was attacked and thrown into a van."

Lucifer paused to place his face in his hands then continued, "Apparently they knew enough about me to know my father is a very wealthy man but not enough to know that we were not on the best of terms." Lucifer let a little of his own disdain for his father creep into his voice. He knew the pain of feeling abandoned and in fact sympathized with his vessel. Perhaps that was the reason he had been able to stay in this vessel so easily.

"At that point they decided that I was no longer worth the trouble. They beat me and left me for dead. They probably assumed that the storm would finish me off. Thank you, Sydney. You probably saved my life." Lucifer lifted his head up to look Syd in the eyes and snuck a peek at Dean and Sam, but he couldn't help but feel a bit surprised. He had said thank you to pacify Syd but found that he actually meant it.

Syd went a little red and mumbled something about how she didn't do that much, and luckily Sam and Dean had lost interest in him. They were looking at a map of the campsite and planning their escape.

"Um, excuse me, but how do we know that he can't get in here," Charlie spoke up, startling Lucifer. She had everyone's attention and continued, "Your plan only works if someone gets to the radio safe in addition to the 'Goatman' not being able to get in here. But what if it's only waiting for us to split up?"

The room went quiet as everyone realized that could definitely be true. That creature could then lure them using the screams of the others, and they wouldn't be able to tell if it was real or a trap.

"Well then, what now?" Dean asked as looked to Sam for a new plan. "We can't just stay here either if that's the case."

"We split up," Syd said calmly causing everyone to give her a look of disbelief. She took the map and showed them as she explained, "There are two opposing paths we can use to get to the ranger's station. One has a steeper incline, but it's shorter with minimal places to hide. The other is longer, but there's a public shower building that you can hide inside." As she spoke, she traced the paths with her finger to illustrate.

"Okay, so that is a plan. Anyone else got anything?" Dean scanned the room. No one had any other ideas. "Okay. So who goes with who?"

"Whoever takes Nick should be strong enough to support him. If fact two people should go with Nick. Just in case," Syd said, giving Lucifer a sympathetic smile.

"Sydney and Dean can go with Nick. I'll go with Charlie and the dogs." Sam gave Syd a reassuring smile, and Lucifer fought the urge to roll his eyes.

Syd nodded, and they slowly got to work preparing their escape. They'd wait until morning and hope that they were right.
