COTTONWOOD HOSPITAL

Sometime later, Dean wakes up in the hospital. He groans and looks around, trying to get his bearings.

"Don't try to move if you can help it. You got a couple broken ribs I haven't tended to yet. That... and what is probably..." She flashes a light into his eyes "A nasty concussion." Dean tries to sit up, groaning again. "Hey, do us both a favor, get some rest." Dr.Kessler Says

"Mm." Dean Says

In another hospital room, Corbin and Michelle talk to the Sheriff.

"Then his brother... his brother just died." Michelle looks at him sadly "And we ran, the bad guys,
they're still out there." Corbin Says

"Monsters. Werewolves." Michelle Says, The Sheriff looks up from writing his notes.

"We don't know what their deal was. Only what that guy told us." Corbin Says

"That guy" saved us, and so did his brother." Michelle Says

The Sheriff smiles at Corbin, indicating that he wants to talk to him alone.

"Thank you for your time, your wife's been through a lot. I'll give a call to the rangers, have them check out the cabin and the station, and I'll let you know what they find. Okay." Sheriff Says, then leaves.

"Michelle...we made it." Corbin Says

Michelle looks at Corbin with tears in her eyes, and then turns to her side, facing away from Corbin.

"Okay, your wife is stable now. Time for me to get a look at you." Dr.Kessler Says

"I'm fine." Corbin Says

"I'll be the judge." Dr.Kessler Says

"No. Really, I'm... I'm good." Corbin Says

"Have a seat on the bed." Dr.Kessler Says

Dr Kessler notices that Corbin is holding his arm. She pushes up his sleeve to reveal a wound on his arm.

"What did this?" She starts to clean the wound.
"How do you feel?" Dr.Kessler Asks

"I feel, uh...good." Corbin Says

The Sheriff is out in the hospital hallway trying to ring the Ranger.

"Come on, Charlie, pick up. Come on." Sheriff Says

Inside a truck, there's a cell phone ringing. But the Ranger can't answer. He is dead and still sitting inside his truck, his face ripped and covered in blood. The truck is at a rangers quarters on the edge of the woods.

Back at the hospital, Dean is about to get out of bed when he sees Michelle standing in the doorway. She has stitches on her face, bandages on her wrists, and other cuts and bruises. She also has an IV drip.

"Hi." Michelle Says

"Hey." Dean Says

Michelle motioning to ask if she can come into the room "Can... can I..."

"Sure." Dean Says

"I... I just wanted to see how you were doing. And to tell you th..." Her voice shakes with emotion and she pauses "I'm sorry, you saved our lives and..well, my mom used to say, um...I didn't believe her then, but I... I think I do now. She used to say... death... it's not the end." Michelle Says

Dean looks at Michelle and nods; then has a moment of realisation. He and Michelle rush into the hospital dispensary.

"Dean?" Michelle Says
