A group of people were staring blankly at each other, confused. They had entered the forest from the side of the house, followed the K9 around, and found no victim. Instead, they exited the forest from behind the house.
The K9 officer rechecked the blood with the K9 and then entered the forest again. Half an hour later, they came out of the woods again, still ending up behind the house. If the K9 wasn't mistaken, then it's very likely that the injured person had indeed returned here, but no victim was discovered at the scene.
The officers began searching around the area; however, no particular traces were found. Besides the tire tracks from a pickup at the entrance, no other tire marks were found, which meant that the victim probably didn't leave by vehicle.
Jimmy tagged along without much purpose; he had already scanned the house with Heart Eye and found no one hiding nearby. There were no hidden spaces like a basement either. So how did the injured person leave?
