The forest was dark and eerie, but Oliver pressed on, determined to solve the mystery. As he ventured deeper into the woods, he heard rustling noises and felt a chill run down his spine. Suddenly, he stumbled upon a hidden clearing where he saw a flicker of light.
Peering through the bushes, Oliver saw a group of shadowy figures huddled around a campfire. They were talking in hushed tones and seemed to be guarding something. Could they be involved in Mrs. Jenkins' disappearance?
