Ryan doesn't know what's happening. Hadn't the woman attacked him before? And now it seemed she was going to attack the werewolf. He can puzzle it out later. Right now, the house was looking like a very good idea. If she wants to commit suicide by werewolf, by all means, go ahead. It gave him time to prepare.

He has to kick down the door. It had been locked and nailed shut against the pack. He remembers listening to the hammering. The toolbox is there, hammer laying on nails, and he repeats the action that happened months ago. It won't keep the werewolf out, but it'll give him advance warning when it breaks in.

Outside, the 'wolf is just getting to his feet, still coughing and hacking, black spittle foaming at his mouth. He snarls at Rachel. MOVE! he roars, moving after the human prey, HIS prey.
