Little House

"I am not sure. The blood is cold and there is no cut on the shirt to indicate a wound. This is quite unusual." I said carefully observing the shirt.

Sam walked up next to me and looked at the shirt, then he bent and sniffed it for a while wondering probably the same thing in response to what I said.

"Is this some kind of a trap?" Sam said looking up and down. He took two steps backwards and examined the environment again.

"Well if they want to play games, then we give them a show." Sam said and cocked his shotgun.

I continued to look at the area where we found the shirt to see if I could find any other clue that could help us with our search for the boy but there was none at first until I looked further and saw a claw mark on one of the trees nearby.

"They know we would be coming. It's as though they are leaving clues for us." Sam said when he saw me standing and walked up next to me to see the claw mark on the tree.
