The next morning, Wilbur was resting on his bed when there was a knock on the door. He got up to open it and saw the old police officer standing there with worried expressions on their faces. "Mister Penn, there was another disappearance last night. Three children went missing."
"What?" Wilbur was shocked. "Three kids went missing in one night?"
"Yes," the other younger police officer said. "We've searched the whole town and the nearby areas, but there was no sign of them."
"Well, what are you going to do?"
The old officer said, "Mister Penn, the kids couldn't have gotten very far. We'd like to ask for your help to bring us into the mines to search for them."
"Are you saying the kids are in the mines?"
Ten minutes later, Wilbur brought the three police officers into Ezekial Mine. They walked along the mine, and the old officer said, "I really hope those three kids haven't gone into the mine. I honestly don't know what I'd do otherwise."
The younger officer said, "Yeah. Anderson Town hasn't seen a case this bad in years. I really hope those kids just got lost."
Although they were hopeful in the search, they soon discovered the terrible truth. When Wilbur and the officers went deeper into the mine, they finally discovered the corpses of the three missing children.
The three children's deaths seemed rather peculiar. They appeared to have drowned, but the mine was nothing but dry, and there was no way there was even any water around. Wilbur did not even have to think hard to figure out that Adam was behind this. He must have killed the children last night as a way to challenge Wilbur.
Wilbur's chest ached as he looked at the three young corpses. All of a sudden, the old officer fell to his knees in front of Wilbur as tears streamed down his face. "Please, Mister Penn. You have to help us."
