Isabelle watches amused as Monroe drives with his head sticking out the window — Nick looking nervous as hell.

"I really think I should drive." Nick presses.

"No, I'm good." Monroe assures him sniffing the air.

"So if this really is the same guy that killed that girl we found.." Isabelle starts.

"Well, assuming he fed yesterday he'll be good for a week — maybe ten days, tops. He'll just use the time to fatten her up." Monroe explains. "Whoa, I got a hit. We're close."

"Did you really smell him?" Nick asks.

"Dude, you have no idea." Monroe answers pulling to the side of the road as they reach a bridge. "Okay, this is as far as we drive."

"So he's close?" Isabelle inquires.

"Oh, he's real close." Monroe replies pulling out a small plant and begins rubbing it on his body.

"What's that?" Nick questions.

"Wolfsbane — so he won't sense us." Monroe states.

"You're kidding me, right?" Nick asks.

"Not if you want to stay alive." Monroe retorts as Nick quickly grabs the plant, rubbing it on his body before handing it to Isabelle.

"What are you guys doing?" Monroe inquires, blocking the detectives as they try to cross the bridge.

"Arresting this jackass for murder." Isabelle responds.

"You said he was over there." Nick adds.

"Why don't you just call him, tell him you're coming? This way." Monroe exclaims sarcastically. Shrugging at her cousin Isabelle walks with Monroe, Nick quickly following as they walk down the stream before continuing back through the woods. They suddenly pause as Monroe's face phases into a wolf. "Sorry."

"Do I need something like silver bullets?" Nick questions.

"What are you, an idiot?" Monroe remarks before continuing through the woods.

"You know what we were yesterday, Monroe? Detectives, normal detectives. Now.. now we're seeing whatever the hell all this is. Maybe we're just crazy." Isabelle says.
