That left just the sheriff's two daughters and his son in law Sam to clean up. The group decided that Elizabeth would take all of the left overs to the girls at college that couldn't go home for Thanksgiving and then Jasmine and Sam would fly home when the plane arrive back there from Snow Cap Ridge. When they got back home they were informed how the deputies was found. Henry suspected the hunter that gave him the jeeper creepers. A all points bulletin was out for him
Sam would take on the job of handling the lodge while Jasmine helped her father as dispatcher and around the office. He called in help from the state troopers and would track down who was responsible for this tragic murder spree which had any citizen of Snow Cap Ridge that could get a hold of gun was getting them in spite of what the city officials ordered. Sheriff Smith had ordered guns for all of his deputies and caused a ruckus with the city officials also to where they wanted to fire him but the community backed him up especially the family members of the slain deputies .
At their funerals the mayor called for peace and forgiveness When Sheriff Smith got up to say a few words he recalled that Jacob used to come by the sheriff's department on the way home from school just to hang out and when he graduated from high school he applied to the police academy and graduated from there being the top of class. Number one meant any police force would have offered him a job and many did but he turned them down to become number two spot at Snow Cap Ridge's sheriff's department.
