The Parking Lot:
Ben stares at the spot where the creature vanished, thinking back to the stories his relatives told him when he was young. While several speak of wolves, and some other of winter-spirits, none seem to fit what stood before you just moments before.
Nick heads back inside the rest stop, taking a seat in the lobby. He sighs deeply, looking out at the park ranger standing in the snow.
Inside the rest stop:
Daunte shines his flashlight around the washroom, looking for any sign of a path to the outside. He finds nothing, the windows are still intact, and no sign of any vents or an extractor fan. However, as his torch moves across the trash can in the far corner of the room, he spots the corner of a briefcase sticking out from underneath the layer of paper on top of the trash.
With a little effort, BJ and John shift the executive onto the makeshift stretcher. Checking the man's pulse, BJ finds that the executive's body temperature has dropped significantly, and his wounds have started to bleed profusely again. He's going to die, unless he gets help very soon...

"That's odd," Daunte frowns, biting his lower lip as he moves to the trash can. He's never seen anyone throw away a briefcase before. Fishing around for a moment, he grasps the handle under the sea of papers and pulls it free.
Examining it for a moment, he moves back to the others. It was best to not be alone in the darkness here, in this rest stop where winter itself seemed to walk.
Crouching beside the others, he placed the briefcase on the floor, and attempted to open it up. It seemed weird to be focusing on this only slightly odd thing out of all the weird things going on in the last half-hour, but a man needed to focus on something. Anything other than the dying man right before him.
"So, where you from, BJ?" he asked idly, the nervousness still powering his mouth. "You're a doctor, right? Or a paramedic or something? Basically, you know what you're doing, right?"

"Native American," corrects John automatically, and then winces. "Sorry. I'm just nervous." He clears his throat. "Er, pardon my ignorance, but where's Butte?" John had never been good at geography at a smaller scale than America as a whole, down to and including his home town.

Daunte pulls the briefcase out of the trash can, and places it on the floor. Much to his surprise, pulling the catches on either side of the combination dials flicks up the case's locks. He opens the case to find a folder with a large sheaf of papers, and rather more bizarrely, a small snow globe.
OOC: From the D20 Modern SRD: Stabilize Dying Character (DC 15): With a medical kit, a character can tend to a character who is dying. As an attack action, a successful Treat Injury check stabilizes another character. The stabilized character regains no hit points, but he or she stops losing them. The character must have a medical kit to stabilize a dying character.Thomas Hobbes said:

"Indigenous Person," Daunte corrects BJ at the exact same moment as John. His attention is focused on the sheafs before him. "This just gets weirder and weirder," he decides in consternation, hefting the snow globe to examine it carefully. He also shakes it for good measure. "What a bizarre thing to have in a briefcase. Unless the guy worked at the snow globe factory, of course." He snickers a bit at the joke. After watching the ball for a beat, he intended to examine the papers.

Ben shakes his head in bewilderment.
~Perhaps the spirits are angry at me. I knew I should have attended more rituals with my Grandfather before he left this world.~
Ben walks back into the lobby and then to the restroom.
"I'm sorry Doc. I can't get to your medical bag. Maybe we can find something in the gift shop or in the kitchen."
Gesturing towards the injured man.
"Can we move him into the snack shop, at least it's warmer in there."
