"So Blackwater Ridge, pretty remote, it's cut off by these canyons here, pretty rough terrain, thick forest, abandoned silver and gold mines all over the place." Sam stated as he looked over the map that was at the ranger station of the forest. Their Impala was parked outside. Tiny had wondered around the lodge with Dean as they looked at any information they could get.

"Hey look at the size of this frickin' bear." Dean stated as Tiny in curiosity looked over to look at the large bear. "Dang." she stated back. "And a dozen or more grizzles in the area." Sam stated as he walked over to them. "It's no nature hike, that's for sure." Tiny added as she then turned to see the other man walk into the room towards them. She waved lightly nudging Dean as he was the closest out of the two. Dean in turn just looked at the large puppy that stood besides his feet. "Hey, buddy, you ready to encounter your brethren?" He asked as the pup looked up at him with a yip.

"You boys and girl looking to go out to Blackwater Ridge by any chance?" he asked them. "Oh, no sir, we're environment-study majors from U.C. Bouler. Just working on a paper." Sam interjected to the older ranger who spoke to them. Tiny felt the bubbles warm her chest as nervousness swamped over her. She didn't lie to people, didn't like lying to people, but for certain the only thing that showed that was her soft shuffle and that soft smile on her face hit it good.

"Recycle man." Dean added as he raised a fist and chuckled slightly.

"Bull."

Tiny quickly looked at the others nervously only to give a little sigh, looking at him honestly as she could. "I... I know, well to really put it as it is, I heard a few things about Blackwater Ridge by a friend of mine around here actually. Just wanted to check out those things she said and these guys happened to join in with me." Tiny managed ever so, barely stumbling on her words as she her hand softly swirled around the bottom of her shirt as it tug.

"With the Hailey girl?" The ranger asked her. Tiny paused for a moment, thinking her options quickly as she sighed softly with a gradual nod. "Yeah, I travel a bit, and crossed her once or twice. She was telling me some things happening over here and I couldn't help but come and check it out myself. I apologize if she did come about this a few times already, I wouldn't know about that." Tiny told him with a soft roll of one wrist. Her body shifted nervously, her eyes wandered ever so, flashing besides the ranger again. "My friends here love the environment though honesty we just come to terms with this."

A hand was placed on the older gent's hip. He gave a sigh in turn, a hand brushing over his face as he shook his head. "Well it's no problem, now I'm going to tell her the same thing so talk to her about this, her brother filled out a back country permit saying he won't be back from Blackwater till the 24th. So it's not exactly a missing person now is it? Now please tell that girl to quite worrying. I'm sure her brother's just fine." He informed them.

"On those terms then, it really isn't. She's been getting a bit rash about it lately. That's the only thing I was missing. I do appreciate your time on this, I'll talk with her, don't worry; I'll try to calm her down. Thank you for your time, Wilkins is it? Well since she never told me about this permit, I know it's a bit different, but possibly could you give me a copy of that permit. She has to get it through her head somehow. I just want an additional reason is all." Tiny had softly relayed, her voice a stutter at times, but rather a smooth flow for the rest. She held a calm smile to hid the jittery feeling in her stomach shown by her shirt and her feet shuffles. "If that's okay with you that is."

"Yeah, I can do that."

"Thank you."

She had received the paper quickly, only to continued shuffling, her left hand had softly woven toward the bottom of her shirt, tugging it down and rolling it against her fingers. Quickly she gave another nod of thanks and with the brothers following out behind her as Hannibal willing followed Dean's example. Air blew out of her lungs as the nervousness that had ripped through her body softly subsided as it went.

"Well I'm impressed. For a hermit that was rather nice." Dean stated with a slight nod of his head. His eyes wondering over the constant shuffle she gave. It didn't take a genius to see her hesitation. She smiled slightly towards him in response as they walked to the impala. Her hands softly lifted the paper to give to him as he smiled back lightly, his eyes scanning over the contents.

"What was that?"

Both Dean and Tiny looked up at that sound of Sam's agitated voice. Tiny looked at him with confusion, her eyes softly cased towards the ground as her hand rolled the shirt between her fingers again. "Did I do something wrong?" she lightly asked the tallest male as she looked towards him, her eyes looking away just as quickly. "The coordinates point to Blackwater Ridge, so what are we waiting for? Let's just go find dad. I mean why even talk to this girl?" Sam stated in persistence. "I'm sorry..." Tiny softly mumbled out.

"Maybe we should know what we're walking into before we walk into it."

Dean stated, his voice raised as he spoke over the girl's quite mumble. There was then a heavy silence as they both brothers looked upon one another in a glare. "What?" Sam inquired towards him. Dean's eyes hardened for a moment as he looked at him. "Since when do you 'shoot first ask questions later' anyways?" He asked him. "Since now." came the only response. Dean's eyes just trailed over towards him as he went into the car. "Oh, really?"

Tiny had looked away through the time of their talk, something Dean noticed ever so. "Tiny." He stated, his gruff voice stopping her in her tracks for a moment as she looked at him in response. He gave a quick nod and a small little curve of his lips as he had then passed her quite his quick strides. A small little smile curved on her own lips then.

Author's Note

Hopefully these shorter Chapters are much more appealing than the rather lengthy ones to start off with. Here's a case finally and things start happening so lets see how it turns out. Again, I'm not that great with describing interaction among people. One of the things noted is that Dean isn't going to go straight forwards and say the nicest of things, he seems more to be a person hard to get real complements from unless you really know him well. The nod was something I just put in but I think it had it's own meaning enough. Hopefully their are not too OOC ish. I'm trying but I've never been the best. Trying to avoid a Mary Sue (kind of, if I'm even using that term correctly) in my head is hard enough. Hopefully this is okay though. Apology for the errors I also put in. Please comment and give me feedback. It would be most appreciated, good or bad.

Thank You for reading! :3
