I believe those people already intended to live you there in the bush to fall prey of any form of danger.
The fact that they told you that they just wanted to stroll round the environ whereas they had gone to another state is enough to prove it.
Those people are not to be trusted at all. They are the type of people that would gladly deliver their friends to the hands of their enemies.
Lol.
I wish it was like that but I wasn't.
They truly left for another state.
