Mister Roy wasn't at home either. Roy waited till the morning, not sleeping a wink all night, but Roy didn't come back. Early in the morning, he went back to the hill and searched everywhere, but couldn't find any note left behind by Roy.
Did something happen to him? Was he attacked by wild beasts? Reynold searched the whole hill thoroughly, but there were no traces of a beast nor a struggle indicating a fight.
Then, did he go somewhere else? Maybe he had something to take care of and went to another location. It could also be that he remembered that he'd left something in one of the two previous buildings, so he went to fetch them.
There were all kinds of possibilities.
"I'm sure he'll be back soon," Thought Reynold after night fell once again. "I'll just have to wait for him."
And he did as he thought.
