Later, Ben and his annoying younger sister Olive are shocked by their parents' hasty arrival and their demands they pack quickly because they are going on holiday.
Ben is immediately suspicious because they have never gone on holiday before. He manages to find out they are going to his late grandfather's cabin in the country, but that's all he is told. It's the beginning of a crucial time for Ben, who harbours a secret desire to be a police detective.
