Kat's eye's flickered open as she attempted to recall how she ended up hanging upside down in a cold, damp cave. She and Dean had been captured after the group had walked into a trap.
"Dean" She whispered. "Dean" She attempted to lift herself up and untie the ropes that were around her ankles but she was too weak. "Great let's follow these clearly marked set of claw marks ... idiot" She was referring to Dean. She had tried to tell him that it looked suspicious but had been told not to worry her 'pretty little head about it' "Yeah this is the last time I try to save your stupid ass no matter how hot it is" She struggled but it was no use she let herself fall back down, gently swaying from side to side. "Oh great motion sickness"
The weather was dull and a chilling breeze blew in the air. Kat pulled her coat tight around her as she leaned against the Impala. They had arrived at Blackwater ridge Sam and Dean had gone into the ranger's station to ask about their father. Since the day Kat and Dean had pulled Sam out of his burning apartment he had been having nightmares about the death of Jessica. Kat sighed as she knew he needed to talk about it but Dean wasn't the perfect shoulder to cry on and she had only known Sam for a few weeks. Sam and Dean appeared. Dean handed her a piece of paper.
"A group of campers gone missing" Kat scanned the permit as Dean filled her in.
"And that's our problem because ...?" Kat handed it back to him.
"Yeah she's right it's not our problem our problem is finding Dad, there not supposed to be beck yet anyway, 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 took the paper from Dean's hand.
"Girl?" Kat folded her arms across her chest as the harsh breeze whipped her hair around her face.
"Hailey, sister of one of the guys who's gone missing" Dean took his coat off and draped it around her shoulders.
"Thanks; well we might as well know what were walking into before we actually walk into it" Kat slipped her arms into her newly acquired jacket. She had always loved that jacket his black one she hated the old brown leather jacket.
"But-"Sam began but Dean exchanged an annoyed glance with Kat. Sam had had this attitude for the past few days and Dean had finally decided to confront his brother.
"Well since when are you all shoot first ask questions later anyway?"
"Since now!" He pulled open the car door and got in slamming it shut.
"Dean he's upset, he needs his brother" Kat placed her hand on his back to stop him from ripping the door off its hinges and escalating the row.
"He won't listen to me"
"It's not you who needs to do the talking"
"... come on let's go see this chick"
After visiting Hailey and hearing that she is going to be heading out into Blackwater ridge with her younger brother tomorrow Kat and Dean became determined to get to the bottom of this before someone gets hurt. They sat in a bar as Sam went through the images and videos that Tommy had sent to his sister from his trip. Dean has gone to the bar to get them some drinks.
"Sam, I know that we haven't known you for a long time but I just want you to know that if you wanna talk I'm here" He smiled weakly at her comment.
"Thanks but you don't know-"
"Oh yes I do ... Dean loves you, but he's not that great when it comes to talking about feelings"
"You can say that again"
"Just think about what I said ok"
"Yeah I will thanks"
"Anyway ..." Dean placed the drinks on the table.
"You guys talking about me?"
"Not everything revolves around you" Kat poked him as he sat down next to her on the two seater. He smirked and she smiled at him.
"Err – guys (They broke away from each other's gaze) so Blackwater Ridge doesn't get a lot of traffic, local campers mostly. But still, this past April two hikers went missing out there, they were never found"
"Any before that?" Dean leaned forward and picked his drink up, he handed Kat her glass.
"Yeah In 1982, eight different people all vanished in the same year. Authorities said it was a grizzly attack. And again in 1959 and again before that in 1936. Every 23 years, just like clockwork"
"Did you find anything from the photos" As Kat finished her sentence and sipped her drink Sam pulled out his laptop.
"Okay watch this. Here's a clincher. I downloaded that guy, Tommy's, video to the laptop. Check this out" Kat and Dean leaned forward to get a better view. Dean placed his hand on Kat's back 'for support'. Sam played the video frame by frame so they could see the shadow of something moving extremely fast outside of the tent.
"Do it again" Dean pulled Kat backwards on to his lap.
"Dean-" She began to protest but "Oh my god" "
That's three frames. That's a fraction of a second. Whatever that thing is, it can move" Sam shuck his head to emphasis the point that none of them had ever seen anything like that before.
"We told ya something weird was goin on" Dean threw a nut at Sam.
"Yeah. I got one more thing. In '59 one camper survived this supposed grizzly attack. Just a kid. Barely crawled out of the woods alive" Kat turned her head around to Dean as if to indicate she was interested in this 'kid'.
"Is there a name?" Kat looked over to Sam; the cheeky grin on his face answered her question.
"Look ranger, I don't know why you're askin' me about this. It's public record; I was a kid. My parents got mauled by a…" Mr Shaw was under the impression that Sam and Dean were rangers and Kat was a wildlife expert thanks to some fake id's and Kat and Dean's expertise in forgery.
"Grizzly? That's what attacked them?" Kat took a seat in front of him. Mr. Shaw paused in silence, and then nodded his head.
"The other people that went missing that year…those bear attacks too? What about all the people that went missing this year? Same thing? If we knew what we were dealing with, we might be able to stop it" Dean nodded at him.
"I seriously doubt that. Anyways, I don't see what difference it would make. You wouldn't believe me, nobody ever did"
"Mr. Shaw, what did you see?" Sam smiled reassuringly.
"Nothing. It moved too fast to see, it hid too well. I heard it though, a roar, like…no man or animal I ever heard"
"It came at night?" Kat asked looking over to Dean. Mr. Shaw nods.
"Got inside your tent?" Sam asked as he looked over to them, the expression on both their faces indicated that they had no idea either.
"It got inside our cabin. I was sleepin' in front of the fireplace when it came in. It didn't smash a window or break the door, it unlocked it. Do you know of a bear that could do something like that? I didn't even wake up till I heard my parents screamin'"
"It killed them?" Sam held a tone of sadness in his voice. Jessica.
"Dragged them off into the night"
"Why it left me alive…been askin' myself that ever since. Did leave me this though" He opened the collar of his shirt to reveal his chest with three huge scars that look like they were made by three huge claws. "There's something evil in those woods. It was some sort of a demon" The three of them exchanged glances.
"Spirits and demons don't have to unlock doors. If they want inside they just go through the walls" Dean stood next to Kat as they followed Sam down the corridor.
"So it's probably something else, something corporeal" Sam pushed open the door.
"Corporeal? Excuse me professor" Dean raised his eyebrows.
"Dean sweetie Shut up, so what we thinking?"
"The claws, the speed that it moves, could be a skin walker, maybe a black dog. Whatever we're talking about, we're talking about a creature and it's corporeal. Which means we can kill it" Dean opened the boot of his car, propped it up with a shotgun and pulled some pistols into a duffle bag.
"We cannot let that Hailey girl go out there" Sam leaned against the Impala.
"Oh yeah? What are we gonna tell her? That she can't go into the woods because of a big scary monster?"
"De-"
"Yeah" Sam interrupted her.
"Her brother's missing Sam. She's not just gonna sit this out. Now we go with her, we protect her, and we keep our eyes peeled for our fuzzy predator-friend" Sam moves to the back of the car.
"Finding dad's not enough? (He slammed the boot shut) Now we gotta babysit too?" Dean just stared at Sam. Kat shuck her head at Dean meaning for him to let it go.
"What?" Sam looked at both of them.
"(He shrugged) Nothin'" He threw the duffel bag at Sam and got in the car. Slamming the door shut behind him. Kat got in the passenger and Sam in the backseat; after a ten minute drive of complete silence they arrived at their motel. Sam got out of the car first.
"I'm going for a walk" He began to walk in the direction of a near-by cafe. Kat opened her mouth to call him back.
"Let him go, come on let's get some sleep"
They opened the door of the last available room. Two beds with horrible orange covers with red pillow cases and matching curtains.
"Dean he's upset, looking for John has gave him something to take his mind off Jess" She joined him sitting on the side of one of the beds. "He just ... he's trying to ignore it thinking that if he doesn't think about it; it'll go away and trust me it won't. The sooner he realises that the better" Kat began to think about her past and the death of her family.
"Yeah well the sooner we find dad the better" He kissed her forehead; he stood up ruffling her hair. "After your parents ... what did you- how long till you?" Kat looked up at him.
"It sort of never goes away but it gets better over time, you should at least try to talk to him about it, it'll help"
"Yeah well I don't think he's in the talking mood, I'm gonna take a shower"
"Alright, I'm gonna get some sleep"
"Sweet dreams"
"Try not to push me out of bed like last time"
"Hey I couldn't help it and you are a fidgety sleeper"
"Well I'm sorry, if you want you could rent another room"
"No you'd miss me too much" A few weeks ago they were passing through a small town. They went to the local motel to rent a room; they had one room left with a single bed. Dean offered to sleep on the floor but Kat insisted they could share. Dean was obviously not going to pass up an opportunity to share a bed with a woman so they did. Kat lay with her back to him and he wrapped his arm around her waist "To stop her from falling out in the night" instead he managed to roll over and knock her out causing her to hit her head. Dean of course insisted on kissing it better and she was hardly going to say no.
The next day they arrived just on time to catch Hailey, Ben her brother and the ranger they had hired. The boys had exchanged appalling muttered apologies just as Kat had woken up.
"You guys got room for three more?" Dean shouted over to them.
"Wait, you want to come with us?" Hailey turned to look at Dean.
"Who are these guys?" The ranger they had hired stopped to give the group a once over, they didn't exactly look like rangers and Kat had no idea what elaborate lie Dean had came up with for her.
"Apparently this is all the park service could muster up for search and rescue" Hailey didn't sound convinced.
"You're rangers?"
"That's right and this is Katherine (he paused for a moment, the cogs turning in his mind) Tyler (He knew Aerosmith was one of her favourite bands) she's a wildlife expert who's working with the department on the case"
"And you're hiking out in biker boots and (She turned to Kat) converse?" Dean and Kat looked over at each other then at their shoes.
"Well sweetheart, I don't do shorts" Dean smirked and he and Kat walked past her.
"What, you think this is funny? Its dangerous backcountry out there, her brother might be hurt" The ranger loaded his shotgun.
"Believe me; I know how dangerous this could get. We just wanna help her find her brother, that's all" Dean began to walk into the woods. Kat and Sam exchanged smiles that if it was possible to translate would say something along the lines of "great Dean's making friends already"
After a few hours of walking Kat and Sam had fell to the back of the group.
"So how are you today?" Kat looked everywhere but at him.
"Yeah I'm good, you?" She could tell he was lying.
"Well as good as can be expected when were hunting an unknown creatures that tears up hikers -while were undercover as hikers" She smiled sarcastically.
"Yeah but I'm sure you've seen worse right? Dean said you've been hunting most your life"
"Yeah Uncle Daniel taught me everything he knew when I was 13 and I did my first hunt when I was 16"
"So you have a speciality or ...?"
"Vampires" Kat had, had bad experience with vampires.
"Oh right I thought that they were extinct?"
"Well there's not that many around anymore but trust me their still out there" They caught up with the group as the ranger who they now know as Roy grabbed Dean.
"Whatcha' doin' Roy?" Dean held his hands up. Roy threw a stick into the ground and a bear trap snapped shut.
"You should watch where you're stepping…ranger"
"It's a bear trap" Dean – captain obvious. Kat shuck her head at him from behind the group.
"What?" He stood still waiting for the group to pass to join her at the back.
"Nice going ranger" Dean opened his mouth but Hailey came over to them.
"You didn't pack any provisions. You guys are carrying a duffel bag. You're not rangers and you're not a wildlife expert, so who the hell are you?" Kat and Dean looked at each other then to Hailey.
"Sam and I are brothers, and we're looking for our father. He might be here, we don't know. I just figured that you and me, we're in the same boat"
"Why didn't you just tell me that from the start?"
"I'm telling you now. Besides it's probably the most honest I've ever been with a woman apart from her (he gestured to Kat with his head). Ever. So we okay?"
"And are you his girlfriend?" She looked over to Kat with a hostile look on her face. Kat looks up at Dean who gives her the 'don't get me involved' look.
"No I'm his wife" Kat smiled sweetly at her as she frowned and walked away.
"And what do you mean I didn't pack provisions?" Hailey turned around as he pulled out a big bag of Peanut M&Ms. "Here you go honey" He lowered the bag to Kat.
"Thanks baby" She took one and placed it in her mouth as soon as Hailey was out of earshot they both burst out laughing.
"That girl doesn't like you" Dean laughed.
"You hear that that's the sound of my heart breaking" Dean put his arm around her shoulders and they began to catch up with the group. Hailey shoved past Sam who turned to see Dean and Kat giggling to themselves.
"What did you do?"
"Nothing, Sam have you meet your new sister in-law?"
"What? ... You know what I don't wanna know"
After a few more hours of evil glares from Hailey they arrived at Blackwater ridge. They stood on the coordinates 35-11.
"Nothing" Sam, Dean and Kat stood in a secluded circle.
"John wouldn't send us here if it wasn't important"
"We should look around" Dean turned to notice Roy had gone.
"Hailey, over here!" Roy shouted as they immediately began to run in the direction of his call. They arrive at a campsite; the tents were torn open and covered with blood.
"Oh my God" Hailey ran into the wreckage.
"Looks like a grizzly" Roy looked around the perimeter.
"Tommy? (Hailey took off her backpack) Tommy?!"
"Shh" Sam attempted to calm her down.
"Tommy!?"
"Shhhhh"
"Why?" Hailey stood up.
"Because something might still be out there" Kat kept her tone neutral.
"Sam! (Sam went over to where Dean and Kat) The bodies were dragged from the campsite. But here the tracks just vanish" Dean pointed to the floor.
"That's weird. I'll tell you what…that's no skin walker or black dog" Kat looked up to Sam. Hailey picked up Tommy's cell phone; it has blood spattered all over it and the back torn open. She started crying.
"Hey, he could still be alive" Kat weakly smiled at her.
"Help! Help!" A voice echoed through the forest. The group began to follow the call, Dean and Kat pulling out various weapons.
"It seemed like it was coming from around here didn't it?" Hailey turned to look at Kat and Dean.
"Oh no ... everybody back to camp now" Kat had realised that this had been a diversion. When they arrived back at the torn up camp their supplies had gone missing.
"Our packs" Hailey rummaged through what was left of the tents.
"So much for my GPS and my satellite phone" Roy shrugged.
"What the hell is going on?" Hailey directed her question at Sam.
"It's smart. It wants to cut us off so we can't call for help"
"You mean someone some nut job out there just stole all our gear" Roy looked over to Sam.
"I need to speak with you two … in private" Sam, Kat and Dean walk a good distance away." Good. Let me see dad's journal" Dean handed it to Sam and opened it. "Alright, check that out (He pointed to a drawing of a figure)
"Oh come on, Wendigos are in the Minnesota woods or northern Michigan. I've never even heard of one this far west" Dean looked over to Kat; she shrugged to agree with his statement.
"Think about it guys, the claws, the way it can mimic a human voice"
"Great (Kat takes out her pistols) Well then this is useless, we gotta torch the sucker"
"We gotta get these people to safety" Sam began to walked back to where they left the others. "All right listen up, time to go. Things have gotten more…complicated"
"What?" Hailey stood from her seat on a fallen tree trunk.
"Kid don't worry, whatever's out there, I think I can handle it" Roy tightened his grip on his shotgun.
"It's not me I'm worried about; if you shoot this thing you're just gonna make it mad. We have to leave now" Sam began to get agitated.
"One you're talking nonsense, two you're in no position to give anybody orders" Roy matched his tone.
"Sammy sweetie relax"
"We never should have let you come out here in the first place, alright? I'm trying to protect you" Kat rolled her eyes at the way he had ignored her, can't you tell he's Dean's brother.
"You protect me? I was hunting these woods when your mommy was still kissing you goodnight"
"Yeah? It's a damn near perfect hunter. It's smarter than you, and it's gonna hunt you down and eat you alive unless we get your stupid sorry ass out of here" Roy laughed.
"You know you're crazy right?"
"Yeah? You ever hunt a win-"Before he could finish his sentence Roy pushed him.
"Roy!" Hailey and Kat shouted in synchronisation. Dean intervened.
"Chill out"
"Stop; stop it, everybody just stop. Look, Tommy might still be alive, and I'm not leaving here without him" Hailey resumed her seat on the tree trunk.
"Dean It's getting late" Kat new he'd get the message. He nodded and turned to the group.
"This thing is a good hunter in the day, but an unbelievable hunter at night. We'll never beat it, not in the dark. We need to settle in and protect ourselves"
They had managed to create a small makeshift camp site complete with a fire. Dean and Kat used sticks to draw Anasazi protection symbols. Kat noticed Hailey and her brother quizzically staring at them.
"There for protection a wendigo can't cross over them" As Kat finished her sentence Roy laughed.
"Nobody likes a sceptic Roy" Dean stood up walking over to Sam. Kat followed sitting down next to him at the edge of the campsite. After sitting in a few moments of silence.
"You wanna tell me what's goin on in that freaky head of yours?" Dean – doesn't know the meaning of the phrase 'break it to them gently'
"Dean…" Kat smacked his knee.
"I'm fin-"
"No you're not fine; you're like a powder keg man it's not like you. I'm supposed to be the belligerent one, remember?"
"Sam, Dean's confused he doesn't mean belligerent he means loud mouth" She winked at him.
"Your funny aren't you?" Dean smirked sarcastically at her.
"You're laughing on the inside"
"Dad's not here. I mean that much we know for sure, right? He would have left us a message, a sign, right?" Sam broke their little play fight up. They both frowned as they knew he was probably right.
"To tell you the truth guys I don't think John's ever been to Lost Creek" Kat bit her lip.
"Then let's get these people back to town and let's hit the road, go find dad. I mean why we are still in here?" Sam looked over to Dean.
"This is why (Dean held up their dad's journal) …This book. This is dad's single most valuable possession everything he knows about every evil thing is in here. And he's passed it on to us, I think he wants us to pick up where he left off, you know saving people, hunting things. The family business" Kat smiled she hadn't been referred to as being a part of a family for years. Her uncle Daniel was the only family she had left and she hadn't seen him for years.
"That makes no sense. Why doesn't he just call us? Why doesn't he tell us what he wants; tell us where he is?" He looked to Kat for a straight answer as he knew he wasn't going to get one from Dean.
"I don't know sweetie. (She placed a hand on his knee and smiled) but there must be a reason why he gave us this job and we can't just up and leave now. Even if we could we have no leads so we should just get this job done and hope he gets in contact again ok?"
"No. I gotta find dad. I gotta find Jessica's killer. It's the only thing I can think about" He took her hand into both of his. He knew she knew what he was going through.
"Ok Sammy you gotta listen to me, we will find them I promise. But you have to know that a search like this could take a while, and all that anger and hate, you can't keep it all bottled up haul, it'll just hurt more. You gotta have patience and ignoring Jess's death isn't gonna make it go away"
"How do you two do it? How does dad do it?" Sam put his head in his hands.
"After my family was killed by vampires my uncle Daniel was the only family I had left, he was a hunter. So naturally I followed in his footsteps" She shrugged, smiling half heartedly. Dean put his arm around her pulling her closer to him.
"And for one thing … them. (Dean looked over at Hailey and her younger brother) I mean I figure our family's so screwed to hell; maybe we can help some others. Makes things a little more bearable. I'll tell you what else helps. Killing as many sons of bitches as I possibly can" He smiled.
"Help me! Please! Help!" The three of them immediately rose to their feet.
"He's trying to draw us out. Just stay inside the circle" Kat walked over to stand in front of Hailey and her brother.
" Help! Help me!"
"Ok that's no grizzly" Dean smirked at Roy's statement. Hailey screamed.
"Guys it's here" Kat called over to Sam and Dean but before they could do anything Roy shoot at it several times.
"I hit it!" He runs after it.
"Roy, no! Roy!" Dean turned to Hailey and Ben. "Don't move" He, Kat and Sam ran after Roy.
"It's over here! It's in the tree!" The windego reached down from the tree and snapped Roy's neck.
"Roy!"
"Were too late" Kat and Dean lowered their guns as they turned to Sam; he was standing over Roy's body.
In the morning after a long time spent telling Hailey and Ben about Wendigos and how a person becomes one, they were deciding on their plan of action.
"Guys we've got half a chance in the daylight if were gonna do this now's probably our best chance" Kat stood in front of the group loading her guns.
"Well hell, you know I'm in baby" Dean winked at her waving his gun in the air.
"Sammy?" Kat looked over to him.
"Let's kill this son of a bitch"
"Well let's go kill us a wendigo" She laughed happily as she knew Sam had taken on board what she had told him last night. And after following the trail for about an hour that's how they ended up in this predicament.
"Dean! For god sake wake-up" Kat attempted to swing herself over to him to give him a slap. "Oh my god we are so screwed, that's the last time I let a hot guy talk me into joining his little crusade if I would have stayed on my own I wouldn't be a part of an all you can eat buffet for a cannibal" She growled in frustration.
"Dean! Kat!"
"Sam oh am I glad to see you" Ben and Hailey ran over to Tommy.
"Wake up!" They pleaded with their brother. Sam cut Kat down holding her as if he was about to carry her over the threshold.
"How did you find us" Kat took the knife off of him and went over to Dean.
"We followed a trail of M&M's"
"Nice, Dean, Dean sweetie wake up" She shuck him. Sam grabbed his jacket and shouted at him.
"Dean!" He opened his eyes.
"What?"
"Hey, you okay?" Sam smiled.
"Yeah" He winched.
"Dean are you sure you're all right?" Kat knelt beside him on the ground. His face grimaced in pain.
"Yeah babe I'm fine, where is he?" They both looked over to Sam.
"He's gone for now" He helped Hailey and Ben free their brother.
"We're gonna get you home" Hailey propped Tommy up as Ben did the same on his other side.
"Check it out" Kat looked over into the corner to see an old duffle bag. She rummaged through it. "Bingo!" She held up her new found weapon.
"Flare guns…those'll work" she winked at him and twirled the guns.
"Let's get out of here" She helped dean to his feet and they proceeded down a long tunnel. The growls of the Wendigo echoed in the cave announcing its presents.
"Looks like someone's home for supper" Dean took one of the flare guns from Kat.
"We'll never outrun it" Dean looks down to Kat.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?"
"You bet I am"
"All right listen to me. Stay with Sam, he's gonna get you out of here" Kat began to run back into the tunnel as Dean instructed the rest of the group.
"What are you guys gonna do?" Dean winked at her and began to follow the same path Kat had a few moments earlier.
"Chow time you freaky bastard! Yeah that's right, bring it on baby, I taste good .........Hey! Hey you want some white meat bitch!? I'm right here!"
Kat soon realises that she has gone around in a circle. She heard the wendigo growl then a flurry of panicked voices. She ran back to her original location just in time to meet Dean. They exchanged smirks as they both shot the wendigo through the stomach. It busted into flame from the inside.
"Did you order you wendigo medium rare or extra crispy?" Kat winked at Sam and the others.
Kat and Dean sat on the hood of the Impala outside the ranger station, as the ambulance loaded up Tommy and a police interviewed Ben and Sam.
"How you feeling?" Kat looked up at Dean.
"Tired and hungry"
"Oh well at least your back to your normal self again" She laughed as Sam came to join them. Hailey and Ben followed.
"I just wanted to say thank you and I hope you find your father" Dean and Sam nodded to her.
"You riding with your brother?" An ambulance woman called from behind her.
"Yeah (she looked down at Ben) let's go" They walk away. "Thanks Sam"
"I hate camping" Kat stood up next to Sam.
"Me too"
"Ditto" There was a long silence.
"Sammy, you know we're gonna find dad, right?" Dean smiled.
"Yeah I know ... but in the mean time ... I'm driving" Dean looked over to Kat.
"How about you let him sit in the front seat instead?"
"You can have the front seat, I'll sit in the back" She smiled and got in. Dean reluctantly handed over the keys.
"Just be careful with her ok" They both got in.
"You know it's kinda weird that you refer to your car as a 'her'"
"Yeah it's not natural for a man to love his car that much" Kat leaned forward resting her folded arms on the back of the front seat.
"I thought you were on my side?" Dean turned so he could face them both.
"Sweetie I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong"
"You know what Kat out of every hunter I have ever met you are by far my favourite"
"Well thank you Sammy" They both laughed as Dean turned the radio on. Bon Jovie's 'you give love a bad name' blasted from the speakers.
"No" Dean went to turn it over but Sam and Kat stopped him.
"Remember your rules sweetie 'driver picks the music shotgun shuts his cakehole' isn't that right Sammy?"
"I believe it is Kat yes, are you a fan of Bon Jovie?"
"Yes I am Sammy thank you for asking" She leaned closer to Dean as she said the last part because when he was driving if he didn't like it then there was no way it was being left on.
"And I thought you had taste" Dean looked back at her.
"Hey I chose you didn't I?"
"Oh yeah" He winked.
