Suspicions Mount: The Increasing Number of Garbage Bags

Upon further inspection of the back-bedroom window, Detective Karl Jenkins notices an increase in the number of garbage bags, fuelling his suspicions about the activities within the house.

Having regained his composure after the unsettling encounter with Terry, Detective Karl Jenkins turns his attention back to Luke Smith's house. Peering through a gap in the almost-closed blinds of the back-bedroom window, he scrutinises the scene inside, particularly focusing on the black garbage bags he had previously noticed.
  To his surprise and growing unease, Karl counts seven bags, a significant increase from his earlier observation. This change suggests that someone has been active in the house since his last visit, despite the apparent stillness and lack of visible occupants.
  As an experienced detective, Karl recognises that seemingly ordinary details can often conceal darker truths. He grapples with the urge to enter the house and investigate further, but is acutely aware of the legal limitations of his position. Without a search warrant or sufficient grounds, he risks crossing a line that could jeopardise his career.
  The scene highlights the mounting suspicions and the internal conflict Karl faces as he balances his instincts as a detective with the constraints of the law. The increasing number of garbage bags serves as a tantalising clue, fuelling his determination to uncover the truth behind the disappearances of Jamie and Kain.
