Sam pulled his bus over where the woman pointed before getting out and joining the rest of the group, it seemed they had split up, some going to whatever the source of the smoke was while the others stayed. He idly wondered if he should follow, where there's smoke there's fire, and fire was much less dangerous to him than anyone else there most likely. But there were other matters to attend at the moment, because as the scientist tried to open the door so everyone could get their luggage in she discovered the door was locked. Sam also learned the wolf could talk, which surprised him for a second then he realized that was silly of him. He was part phoenix, a talking wolf was mundane in comparison.

"I mean, I could burn the door down," Sam pondered aloud, "that would get us in, then we'd have the problem of not having a door though." He would prefer to not start his retreat by burning down the front door, but if it came to it he supposed he could. "Or we could just follow the others, make sure they're okay, then grab the keys like a normal person would." Sam did want to go and see what the commotion was about, apparently the smoke he saw wasn't just from someone having a campfire.
