Where is she now? He wondered. He was supposed to solve this case in a week. Yet his thoughts keep wandering back to that night in the forest. No. He must defeat whoever he is up against. He already have a slight grip on the situation. The beast haunting this place. And the thing that kidnaps children. Are two different things entirely.
But Sam is not sure whether they are working together or not. The people are eaten alive when they try to leave. The beast on the mountain only attacks when someone cross its territory. That's what Sam heard from Magnus some time ago. When they were on their way to Jesper.
Sam closed his eyes. Take a deep breath and recall the information he had heard so far. Children that disappears without a single sound. Grown men who try to retaliate but got eaten instead. A beast that was brought in the village out from nowhere.
