A/N: Sorry about the long wait, long chapter and a bad case of writer's block. Hope you enjoy!

One minute Sam was pointing a gun a psycho killer, next minute he was escorting a not-so-killer psycho back to lodge and guarding the rear of the group at the same time. Josh was quiet the whole way, even when he locked him in one of the bedrooms. This surprising compliance only made Sam nervous. It was always the quiet ones you had to look out for.

After confining Josh, Sam joined the rest of the group in the living room. The kids that Josh had captured had taken the couch, while the other two were crashed on two of the chairs. Dean was leaning against the fireplace, screwing the cap back onto his flask. "So, um, where should we start?" he asked.

"How about you start with who you are and why you're still here?" demanded the dark haired guy. "This guy," he continued, gesturing at Dean, "said that he was after a murderer and that he already got him. If that's true, what are you still doing here?"

Dean shifted his focus from his flask to the group. "Well, to answer your first question, I'm Dean and this is my brother Sam."

The blonde girl spoke up. "First of all, my name is also Sam, so that's just weird. Second, do police officers usually end up working with their brothers?"

Sam wasn't sure what to think about having someone else with his name. Sam was a pretty common name, so he was actually kind of surprised this situation hadn't come up before.

"Alright, we don't have time for any bullcrap, so here's the truth," Dean said. "We're not actually police officers, we hunt monsters for a living."

This statement was met with dead silence. Sam decided to back Dean up a little. "It's true. And unfortunately, we're here on business."

The dark haired guy spoke up again. "So the 'guy' who kidnapped Jessica… that was a monster?"

Dean nodded. "Yep. A Wendigo, to be specific."

Dark hair eyed him suspiciously. "And did you really kill it?"

Dean rolled his eyes. "Yes, of course I did. I just said that was my job."

The red haired girl spoke up for the first time. "But if you killed it, then what's the problem here?"

Sam took a deep breath. "I killed it too."

The kids looked at Sam in confusion. Dean clarified. "Meaning there were two of 'em, which means there's probably a couple more still out there."

More stunned silence. Then the dark haired guy stood up. "So what do we do?"

"We get everyone somewhere safe. What's our head count?" Dean said, suddenly all business.

Sam (the girl) started counting off on her fingers. "Well, there were eight of us to begin with. Mike, Chris, Ashley, and me makes four," she said, nodding at each person as she listed them. "Jessica's, um, not here, Josh is in the bedroom, and Matt and Emily are probably still at the cable car station."

Sam saw the burning fire tower collapsing again in his mind. "Um, I'm not sure how to put this…"

He was interrupted by the sound of a door slamming. In a split second both Dean and he had pistols aimed at the doorway in the direction of the sound. A second later, Emily burst through. Dean just holstered his gun, but Sam just lowered it. "Emily? How are you still alive?"

Emily didn't respond, instead collapsing on an empty chair. Instead Chris spoke up. "What do you mean? Why would she be dead?"

Sam took another deep breath. "When I was hunting the Wendigo, Matt and Emily went into the fire tower to radio for help. I found the Wendigo near the tower and killed it, but not before it severed a cable that was holding the tower up, and the tower kind of… smashed into the cliff."

By this time, Emily seemed to have recovered a little bit. "How… who… why… what is going on here?"

"They claim to be monster hunters," Chris explained, eyeing Sam and Dean suspiciously, "and they say the mountain is infested with Wendigoes, whatever those are."

"Would Wendigoes happen to look like, oh, I don't know, giant zombie Gollums?" Emily asked.

"If Gollum walked like Spider-Man, yes. Did you see one?" Dean asked.

Emily snorted. "See one? More like nearly killed by one."

Now that Emily had confirmed their claims, Sam noticed that all doubt had vanished from the other kids' faces. But there was still one person noticeably missing. "What about Matt? What happened to him?" Sam asked.

"Last I saw, he jumped off the falling tower into one of the mine shafts. He hasn't come back yet?"

"No, until you ran in, I thought you were both dead. I, um, noticed the fire tower fall," Sam replied.

"Oh yeah, the tower. Heh, that seems like it happened a lifetime ago. The tower got caught over a giant pit. Matt managed to jump off, but I fell off and got caught on some wreckage," Emily explained. Then she frowned. "Hey, wait a minute. How do you know about the Wendigoes or whatever they're called? Did you bring them here?"

"Whoa, there," Dean stopped her. "We're hunters, not freaking monster trainers. That's why we're here actually. Thought there might be a monster up here, and it turns out there are more than we thought."

"You mean there's more than one of those things?" Emily asked incredulously.

"Unfortunately, yes," Dean replied, back into business mode. "First, we need to find somewhere safe for you guys, and to find Matt, 'cause wandering around in a Wendigo infested mine is not a good life choice."

Samantha (Sam was just going to think of her like that, he didn't have time to think about the "same name" deal anymore) perked up. "Hey, perv-… I mean, Josh had cameras set up everywhere, and his family kind of owns this place. I'll go talk to him, see if he knows any safe places or if his surveillance system can find Matt."

"Good idea," Sam agreed. "I tied him up in one of the bedrooms upstairs."

Samantha nodded in acknowledgement and ran up the stairs.

"Alright," Dean said, "while she does that, we need a plan to find Matt. Where exactly did the tower fall?" he said, directing his attention to Emily.

"The mines," she replied. "I don't know if he's still there. I mean, I've already found my way out and escaped a windy thingy, and he jumped off before me."

Dean sighed. "Well, I guess I know the mines the best, which sucks 'cause I spent most of my time there lost. Any other ideas about where he might be?"

Mike spoke up this time. "I got into the mines from a tunnel in the sanatorium basement. Maybe he found it and got into the sanatorium."

Dean nodded to Mike, then turned to the group. "Anyone here know the sanatorium's layout? Like, at all?"

The other kids looked at each other. Chris spoke up, "I think Mike is the only one of us who's even been in there."

"This place just gets better and better," Dean said sarcastically. "So Mike and I will go search for Matt, while Sam uses any information other Sam can get out of Josh to get everyone to safety."

Sam nodded his understanding, and Dean and Mike headed out, leaving him with five kids to protect.
