Reaching way back in his first gers touch something and he slowly pulls it out. It is a match box . He pulls the draw open. All folded up is a old yellow price of paper. He carefully unfolds it. As he reads it a shiver runs down his back. He reads it out loud: WE ARE SORRY WE KILLED OLD JACK. TROY HELPED ME BURY HIM BEHIND THE BARN BY THE OAK TREE. Signed A.H. This sends Austin and his new found friend, Cody on a scary journey to solve the mystery of who killed Jack and who was Jack.
