Reporter follows son into cabin (5)
I believe the answer is:
shack
'cabin' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Rough cabin ' mean 'shack' so perhaps 'cabin' could also mean 'shack')
'reporter follows son' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'son' could be 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son) and 's' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hack' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shack that I've seen before include "Roughly built hut" , "Rough dwelling" , "Hovel" , "Rough hut or cabin" , "Crudely built hut" .)
