Battle Wounds
Chapter 12
Thomas Dewalt didn't know what to do with Hunt and his shoulder. He would have to leave him in the truck once they arrive a few miles from Dylan's cabin. The snow was still falling even though lightly right now. Hopefully it's going to stop soon as with the hollowing wind to make driving at times difficult.
Dewalt tells Hunt through his fever that they would be going on with the drive. In spite the fact he didn't like the idea of having his friend this sick after leaving from the hospital in Bridgeport, CT.
He continues to drive through the snow with very little lighting from the trail...

Richard Castle asked Gary on how much longer before they reach the border of Maine. Esposito and Castle were itching for some type of action.
"An hour gentlemen. So I suggest you both relax until than. Weather forecast on the Internet indicates it's snowing in the area of Cole Brook, Maine along with the wind. It's going to be rough with landing since I will have to place the both of you a few miles from the cabin. I will join you making sure it's going to be safe for the helicopter without falling over by the wind." Gary said to Castle and Esposito.
Since they had an hour to kill. The three of them would use the time to refuel with food and drinks. Castle grabbed the bag and cooler in the back with sandwiches for everyone. Including three bottles of Budweiser's to drink as with if interested hot coffee.
Castle handed Gary and Esposito Chicken sandwiches with the beer and a apple to have before landing. Gary placed the helicopter on automatic for a few moments in order to have his sandwich and beer before taking over again.
No one complained about it, including the bottles of Budweiser to loosen them up with their nerves.

Hunt had woke later with Dewalt telling him they were a mile away from Dylan's cabin. Dewalt asked him on whether he was up to walking for the mile in two inches of fresh snow. He agreed to the idea with tightening his boots, rifle and bullets inside the barrel.
He was feeling some what better after the nap he had inside the SUV vehicle. It was a good thing the rented vehicle had snow brakes on the tires or else they would really be in trouble.
The snow and wind had stopped all together to make it easier for them to track into the cabin. And hopefully Dylan won't be looking out the window at the time they are close.
