Sam's barely patched up from his own encounter with the giant cats, but he's out checking his traps anyway. He's stitched up and bandaged and in clean clothes thanks to the sponsors, so this is as good as it's going to get.

He's resetting his third empty snare when he hears someone calling his name. Sam doesn't recognize the voice, and he's considering just ignoring it, until he hears Jet and Albert's names as well. That makes him stop what he's doing, ducking behind a tree where he can hide while the sound of footsteps in the snow grow closer.

Being injured makes him even more wary than normal - he doesn't want to walk into a trap when he's not at his best.

But there's only one guy running around, and Sam can't just ignore him with the names he's calling. So he steps out, putting the tree against his back both so someone can't sneak up on him from behind, and so he has a place to lean to make it not as obvious that he's favoring one leg.

"What do you want with them?"
