Going to the rescue center
As the hikers watched the helicopter take off into the sky, they were given the choice of either continuing on with their journey as planned or turning around and heading back to the city. However, in light of the fact that their thoughts were completely preoccupied by the peculiar experience that they were having here, this option came to them rather readily. They were interested in going to the animal shelter to find out more about the circumstances surrounding the animals’ being there.
Someone is waiting for them
It took them a few hours to walk back to the city, and it was early in the dark when they finally made it to the rescue center. It was already too late for guests to enter the building, but of course they made an exception for the people who were hiking. They were surprised to find that someone was already waiting for them.
