After Jaimie hearing this he was so upset and had to run over to dans house and tell him the news.

Soon after that conversation Jaimie was packing his room up and getting ready to move house. As he is on the way to his new house with his parents.

He gives Jaimie a new small black phone and says "when this phone rings, answer the phone and do go to wherever I tell you to with this package. But do not open or touch this package, keep it sealed".

Later on that night when everyone in Jaimie's house is asleep including Jaimie, he gets a phone call.When Jaimie gets the phone call and gets told where to go, he panics and gets scared again. As he goes to the location with the package he realises he is walking into a crime scene. He gives the package to the older boy he saw earlier and gets introduced to the older boys group.
