We walked into the cave, I went back to human form, dug around in my trashed pants and grabbed my phone. It was still working, thankfully and the missed call was from Cas. That was a good start anyway.

"Cas called, I'll call Dig," I said to the assorted wolves that were standing around me, "Have him bring some clothes. He may have to break into Sam's and my room, we didn't put extras in Baby like we usually do. The one time, I swear. Tom, Carlos, I'll call Rick too, see if he's keen on having you guys join him. If not we'll try to figure something else out."

Sam shook his head, "No, I'll do it after we get clothes. Tell Dig to bring some bottled water so we can clean up some before we get dressed. I know Rick better than you do."

"All right." I pulled up the voice mail and listened to it first.

"Dean, it's me. I'm back," He sounded like he was in pain, "I'm fine. I'm about three hours away. I'll acquire a car and return as soon as I can. Please let me know how things are. Coyote seemed upset when I connected with her briefly in her sleep. We shall speak soon." Then he hung up.

Sam and Coyote's ears were straight up and facing me, "Cas is about three hours out, he's going to get a car and head back this way," Sam gave me this funky look, like I was repeating myself. "You guys heard that voicemail huh?"

"Yes," Coyote answered.

"Right, well that makes things easier. Guess I'll call Dig now." I pushed Dig's name on my phone, he picked it up the second it started ringing.

"Dean?"

"Yeah, we're all alive."

"Good." He didn't even try to hide how relieved he was.

"Well kind of. Look, we need clothes. All of us, including Coyote. We'll explain when you get here. No, no orgies or anything fun like that was involved. Mairyn and her pack are dead. I'll call the hotel and see if they can give you a spare key for our rooms. Did Oliver give you a spare one for his?"

"Yes. Why am I getting the feeling that alive came at a price?"

"Because it usually does. Just grab some clothes, I'll text you where we are. Call me when you get here, we can't meet you in the parking lot. We'll guide you in. Oh and bring lighter fluid, matches and bottles of water. We need to clean up a few messes."

He hesitated for a second, "All right. See you soon."

I knew he wouldn't let us down. "Got it." We hung up, I texted him where we were, called the hotel and told them to give him a copy of our keys because he was getting something from the rooms for us, got off that call and looked at Sam. "Sure you want to call Rick. The more we shift the hungrier we get."

He didn't answer as his bones cracked and moved while he panted and whimpered in pain. I got the feeling that no matter how many times we did this it would still hurt like hell. Sam stayed on his hands on knees for a minute, catching his breath. "Yeah. Give me your phone. Don't feel like digging for mine." He sat down, I handed him my phone. While he scrolled through my contacts I started gathering up all our phones and everything else from our pockets.

"Oliver, Roy. See if you can backtrack and find our weapons. That way when Dig shows up we won't have to spend time tracking them down. Either stick them in a pile somewhere or shift and bring them here, up to you."

"Do you think we can talk long distance like this?" Oliver asked.

"We'll find out I guess. If you guys aren't back when Dig gets here, I'll yell your name a few times once we get clothes on and are headed back here to clean up. Just in case the whole speaking with our mind thing fails. I'm sure you'll hear it."
