Over Hill, over Dale.. (overland crew)

The Doctor had converted Blaise and Daniel's communicaters. They looked a bit silly, but they worked.

The Doctor kept Blaise's, as he couldn't speak Aramaic so that simple code excluded the marine.

The Doctor saw Chris take Jack to the camp he was to help guard, and waited for the young man’s return to be sure the trip went well, then he took off in the direction Damon and Scott had marked on a crude map.

At six foot two the Doctor had long strides, and found himself cutting back just a bit, because losing his volunteers would not help the mission.

They didn’t follow a trail, except the one he broke in as they shoved through underbrush and grasses. If it weren’t for the rough map and the occasional sight of the far off whisp of smoke, getting lost would seem an easy thing.

They ate up ground at a stride that had most of them getting a stitch in their sides and a burn in their lungs long before the first ‘break’. It had been hours of walking over uneven ground, through brush and trees and pressed upon by tropical heat. The water was a godsend. The terrain would have been beautiful if they were able to pause and appreciate it.

[Dean] A precaution (open tag)

They began walking in line. "Hey, how do you know? Just because I'm not grey-haired, geeky, and....." Dean decided to shut up when May looked back at him. But he shifted the new weight and continued grinning.

"That's right, Dean, save your energy for when it counts." Dean heard Dad's voice in his head. /Don't worry dad. Don't worry./*

*ooc: No, Dean's not schizophrenic, just the normal voices we all have in our head...wait...oh, nevermind. :) By the way, LOL was just me being lazy.

[Sam] Back on the angst train (open tag)

"Thanks, Dean," Sam said when his brother took the weapons bag. He was more than ready to hand it off for a while. Although he and Dean were handling the march well, they'd both be exhausted by nightfall. Even before learning about Claire and her son, Sam was glad to simply be doing something. It had been that way since the demon killed Jessica.

Sam sheathed the hunting knife and walked over to Dean to stow the beginning of wooden amulet in the weapons bag. In the process he caught a glimpse of May's photograph. Although May's and Dean's teasing made him smile, the photo itself prompted melancholy. That's what he'd wanted with Jessica. What his family had until the fucking demon murdered Mom. (No more. We're sending that bastard back to hell.)

After jamming the carving wood into the weapons bag, Sam joined the Doctor at the head of the line. Armed with the crossbow, a quiver with bolts, one of the handguns, and the knife, he really wanted to kick some ass.
