Dear Peter, 1/10/22

I know you are going to receive this letter late, but in this letter is everything that you need to know. You will be going on a field trip like me, and your mother once did, but it is not going to be the same. The forest is different from when you were a kid. Last year I was investigating with a group of detectives to find the girls that went missing, but when we left everyone but me forgot about the girls and the bones that I found that day.

Strangely when I got back to the station the next day the bones were no longer there. I would have told your mother about it, but I knew she would not listen to me. I would have told you, but the last time I said something about bones was when you were ten, you ran out the room and tears rolled down your eyes, and you were screaming Bree's name.

Rebeca came and had to calm you down somehow so I asked her if she could erase your memory. You screamed louder, wanting the pain to stop.

I thought it was best for you to forget about that day, but now I realise the bones you saw that day were not all humans. I'm sorry that you had to go through that. I have not been the best dad to you. I do wish I could see your first girlfriend one day. I am going to visit you in two months, I must get some stuff done here first. I promise you that I will be a better dad to you.

Also please keep this letter to yourself. No one must know what I told you. No one will be safe until this is over. I hope you can see that I love you and that I am only trying to help you solve this before you or Bree are next. Please stay away from the Black Cat, or the Book of Monsters. I will write another letter explaining why. I am sorry, but I must go.

Love, Dad
