Ooo I'm wondering if something happened in the past when the two of you were together, maybe you pissed off the wrong person and now you're both being tormented out of revenge? whatever it is was clearly aware of your existence prior to you agreeing to investigate. Maybe someone or something has finally managed to get you both in the same room again.

I was initially thinking that maybe Jared or his wife made some sort of deal with someone or something for wealth in return for a firstborn child or something but that last sentence has me unsure. Good luck and Please keep us updated OP!
