Dean's POV

I see Skye roll her eyes as Haley who is Hot by the way she leads us into the kitchen where a boy is sitting at the table on his laptop. Skye pushes past me and I look over at Sam. "What is her problem?" I mouth but he just rolls his eyes. "So if Tommy's not due back for a whole, how do you know something's wrong?" Sam asks as Haley comes back into the room with a bowl.

She places it on the table. "He checks in everyday by cell. He emails, photos, stupid little videos - we haven't heard anything in over three days now." She says. "Well, maybe he can't get cell reception." Sam says. "He's got a satellite phone, too." She says. "Could it be he's just having fun and forgot to check in?" Skye suggests.

"He wouldn't do that." The guy named Ben says. I catch him checking out Skye and I glare at him causing him to look away earning a smirk on my face. That's right kid keep your eyes off her. Haley puts more food on the table. "Our parents are gone. It's just my two brother's and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other." Haley says. "Can I see the pictures he sent you?" Sam asks. "Yeah." She says on the laptop Haley pulls up pictures. "That's Tommy." She says.

"He's kinda cute." Skye says and I give her a look. "What?" She asks. Haley clicks twice and another picture comes up, then the still frame opening the latest video. "Hey Haley, day six we're still out near Blackwater Ridge. We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow." Tom says. "Well, we'll find your brother. We're heading out to Blackwater Ridge, first thing." Skye says.

"Then maybe I'll see you there. Look, I can't sit around here anymore. So I hired a guy. I'm gonna find Tommy myself." Haley says and I sigh. "I know how you feel." I say. "Hey do you mind forwarding these to me." Sam asks. "Sure." Haley says.

~Bar - Night~

Sam is at the motel and me and Skye decided to stop at a bar. We walk in and I see someone break a game of pool, a waitress goes past us carrying beer, and Skye brings us to a table and we sit down. "So you think that Tommy boy is cute?" I ask. "Is this why you wanted Sam to stay at the motel so we can talk about this?" She asks. "You know he could be dead right?" I say. "So Blackwater Ridge doesn't yet a lot of Traffic. Local campers, mostly but still, this past April, two hikers went missing out there. They were never found." She says.

Ignoring my comment and she opens my Dad's journal. I roll my eyes. "Okay ignore the situation. Any before that?" I ask. She pulls out newspaper articles to show me. "Besides aren't you trying to hook up with Haley? Yeah, in 1982, eight different people all vanished in the year. Authorities said it was a grizzly bear attacks." She says.

I read the headline in the Lost Creek Gazette, Grizzly Bear Attacks, Up to Eight hikers vanish in Lost Creek Area, Hikers continue search and rescue efforts in spite of disappointing. "I'm allowed to you're not." I say. "Why not?" She asks as she pulls out her laptop. I open my mouth to say something but then I close it. "You're just not okay." I say as she rolls her eyes and continues what she was saying earlier. "And again in 1959 and again before that in 1936." She says as she opens the laptop, which already has a window open to Tom's video that Sam had sent her.

"Every twenty-three years, just like clockwork. Okay, Sam said to watch this. Here's a clincher. He downloaded the cute guy Tommy's video to the laptop. Check this out." She says I glare at her. Skye just smiles and pulls up the video and goes through three frames of the video one at a time.

A shadow crosses the screen. "Do it again." I say and she repeats the frames. "That's three frames. That's a fraction of a second. Whatever that thing is, it can move."She says. I hit the table and Skye looks at me. "I told Sam something weird is going on." I say. "Yeah." She says then she closes the laptop. "I got two more things." She says and hands over another newspaper article. "In 'fifty-nine one camper survived this supposed grizzly attack. Just a kid barely crawled out of the woods alive." She says as I look at the Lost Creek Gazette. "Is there a name?" I ask. "Sam knows it." She says and I nod.

"Oh what was the second thing?" I ask. "I can hook up with any guy I want to." She leaves as Sam comes in and sees that I'm pissed off. "Did I miss something?" He asks and I just shake my head. "Let's just go." I say.
