Let's Play Puzzle Agent 2 - Part 1 - Unfinished Business and No Vacancies

Winter has come and so I gotta add another project to multitask with the others. Anyway, one year ago, Agent Tethers solved the case of the shut down Scoggins Eraser Factory. Even though the FBI considers the case closed, Tethers can't seem to let it go. So many questions unanswered like who are the gnome-like hidden people and where have they run off with the factory foreman Isaac Davner? What exactly do they want with him? Tethers decides to go back to Scoggins, Minnesota and solve this case on his own. The townsfolk aren't welcoming this time around and the hotel is making excuses not to give us a room to stay in. What has happened in the past year?
