Help arrives
Finally, after an hour or so, a few police officers arrived at the spot where they arranged to meet with James. At this point, James had calmed down but still didn’t exactly know what to tell them about what he had seen. He decided to play dumb and wait for them to see it themselves.
He figured that if he played dumb, they would believe his story and he would have a better chance at showing them what was inside of the house. Also, he didn’t want them to think that he was crazy, that wouldn’t solve anything and the mystery would go unsolved in the end.
