The Wolves' Den

Jake is rudely awakened by Rick, telling him they need to pack up and leave immediately. The car is completely snowed in, so they need to flee on foot to Taben's Ridge. Apparently, there are hunters in the area, and the Garou are n a rage over the loss of one of their pack. On the way south, they happen upon the hunters' encampment. Desipte Rick's advice to the contrary, Jake decides not to engage them and make a clean getaway. The way south beyond Taben's Ridge is inaccessible too, however, as the countryside is swarming with Tremere. Rather than take their chances with the Kindred, Jake opts to flee back into the woods.
This time around, Rick insists that they take down the hunters. The humans will kill them if they are discovered, and the best move strategically is to stage a surprise attack. For mere mortals, they show incredible resilience, and Rick is mortally wounded in the firefight. Jake feeds him his blood to keep him alive; an act witnessed by the Garou who had been drawn by the sound of gunfire.
Among them is the ranger, Jim Gordon, who reveals himself to be Garou Kinfolk. A deal is struck with the werewolves: they will allow Jake and Rick to stay in the cabin until Susan returns from California and the alibi has held through. In return, they must surrender their ammunition, and the cabin becomes Garou property after they leave.
