A Tragic Accident: Sarah's Encounter with the Goose

While investigating the barn, Sarah accidentally shoots a goose, leading to a tense moment between her and Detective Karl Jenkins.

As Detective Karl Jenkins ponders the mysterious blood trail in the Owens' cottage, a piercing scream followed by a gunshot shatters the quiet. Fearing for Sarah's safety, Karl races out of the cottage and sprints towards the barn, desperate to find her.
  He discovers Sarah sitting among the tall reeds by a small, spring-fed dam, visibly shaken. Beside her lies the motionless body of a small goose, a pool of blood expanding from a single bullet wound in its chest. Sarah, in tears, explains that she accidentally shot the goose when it flew at her face.
  Karl, though relieved that Sarah is unharmed, expresses his frustration at the situation, emphasising the paperwork the incident will generate. Sarah, defensive and distressed, argues that she could have been seriously injured. The tension between the two detectives escalates, with Sarah storming off towards the car.
  As Karl calls out to her, mentioning the blood he found in the house, Sarah pauses, hoping for a more significant discovery. However, upon learning that the only body is that of the goose, she continues her angry walk to the car, declaring her intention to call for forensics.
  The tragic accident with the goose adds an absurd twist to their already complex investigation, further straining the relationship between the two detectives as they grapple with the mounting mysteries surrounding the disappearances of Jamie, Luke, and now the Owens.
