Johnny stands to leave, “No problem sheriff, we will do what we can.” He nods to both the rancher and the doctor then leaves. As he heads for the main door he waves at the deputy, “Later Dean.” He then walks out the front door, and almost knocks Meat over in the process.
“Hey Meat, I have some news, I’ll tell everyone in the rover.” He then heads over to the rover and gets in. “Hey, sorry it took so long but the sheriff needed to talk to me about some lost hikers, and then there was this self important doctor. Thought she could talk down to everyone because she has a PHD, boy was she wrong, ha ha ha ha. Oh yeah, she’s the one who released the wolves in the mountains, what a bit@!. Well anyways let get going.” He then starts the rover and starts towards the cabin.

The dirt track starts just outside town, heading towards the mountains. The first few miles are smooth, then things start to get a bit bumpy, but Johny's skillfull driving makes for an entertaining ride. The landscape gets rougher as you climb more and more, and pretty soon the only thing that reminds you of civilisation is the small road.
When you stop for a little leg-stretching the only thing you can hear are the sounds of nature. No cars, no planes, no voices. Nothing.
It's allmost dark when you reach the cabin. The headlights of the landcruiser cast a harsh light on the surroundings, and when you get out you can hear the lonely cry of a wolf, soon joined by a chorus of howls. They seem far away. An owl cries nearby, and the fluttering insects drawn to your headlights soon attract a small bat, swooping and chittering.
The cabin itself has an old stately beuty. It takes a while to remove the wooden shutters, but soon you have a fire roaring in the fireplace, and the gaslights give a warm, yellow light, showing the worn but fairly comfortable interior.
The cabin is a bit of an oddity. Built originally by gramps, in the fifties, the basement is built as a wannabe shelter, fully lockable. It is now used as a storage, the old bunks used as shelves. There is a lockable reinforced chest, wich is where the guns are kept. The toilet and two showers were recently renewed.
The first floor, built later, contains the livingroom-cum-dining room, with a fireplace, some comfy sofas and the dinner table. The kitchen is situated next to it, and opens to a large porch at the back. The outside chairs and tables are stored a small shed outside.
The first floor has five small bedrooms, each containing a double bed and a closet. The master bedroom is a bit larger and has a double window and a private bathroom.
On the top floor is a small attick, containing the necessary stuffed beast and other junk.
There's a small shed outside, wich contains the garden furniture, a barbeque and some tools.

Shannon puts her food away first and then goes to get her suitcase. Looking at the selection of bedrooms, she decides she'll let the others pick their rooms and she'll take the last one.
She sits down on one the couches near the fire and pulls her knees up to her chest, staring thoughtfully into the dancing flames.

Brian starts to unload everything. He spots Shannon scouting the bedrooms and sets her things down in one at the end of the hall and then puts some of his stuff in the one closest too it. He sets Stephanie's, Meats, and Rods things down towards the other end of the hall. He sets all of Johny's and Brit's things in the master bedroom.
Once everything's unpacked, he heads to his room to unpack. He slides his lockbox under his bed, puts everything else in his closet, which takes him almost no time at all. He then pokes his head into Shannon's room (without knocking) and asks "You need a hand unpacking anything?"

Steph wanders about the cabin to get a feel for the place, then takes her bags from Brian with a quick thank you and plops them down in one of the smaller bedrooms.
"You guys hungry? Maybe one of you big bad hunter-provider types can catch me a trout." She smiles charmingly at the boys and walks out tot he shed, where she starts wheeling out the grill and outdoor furniture.

Johnny stops next to Shannon after he noticed that she didn’t pick a room, “Hey Shannon, you know the room at the end of the hall and to the right has a great view of the sunrise, why don’t you take that one.” He then smiles and heads to the master bedroom to unpack his things and to put sheets on the bed. “Oh yeah, guys, we keep the sheets in the closet in the bathroom, oh, and leave the dryer sheets in there, it keeps the stuff from smelling musty.” When he is done with the room he goes and checks the gun cabinet, Everything is still there and still clean, good.
He then heads back up, “So what does everyone feel like doing? The beer is still warm so we will have to put ice in it, and we have and old fashion popcorn maker”. Hi then notices that Brittany has already gone to bed and is out cold. Man, well that sucks, oh well.

Shannon nods, smiles and thanks Johnny and then selects that room. She notices that Brian took the one next to her and she starts to feel a little nervous as she grabs a set of sheets for her bed.
She starts to unpack when Brian pokes his head in her room, causing her to jump. "Umm, n-no, t-thank you Brian." She stutters, quickly setting down the sheets on the bed, her hand flying up to twist a lock of her hair nervously.

Brian picked the right room for Shannon, good. "Sorite, if you need anything, anything at all, I'm right next door," he says with a smile and wink, then ducks out.
Brian looks out at the time and then at the fishing gear "Do we realy want to fish tonight? Or just make something simple and go out tomorow morning? A good campfire could be fun. Johny, you have those dutch ovens still? We could make some stew and cobler."

Meat settles into the remaining room, tucks his meagre possessions away and arranges his medications neatly on he top of the chest of drawers. He throws a towel over his shoulder and grabs his wash bag and a change of clothes "I'm going to hit the shower and freshen up, back in a minute" he yells as he ducks in to the bathroom.
