The Last Letter Page #2

before the fire?

Claudia and I were upstairs,

doing our homework.

George and Mr. Smith's son, Nathan, were

downstairs, watching the football game.

That's it.

Right there.

The official police

report states

that you and Claudia were

the first two out the house.

Yes. That's right.

How were the two of you

down the stairs

and out of the house

before the guys who were

downstairs by the front door?

Well, the TV was loud.

Mr. Smith liked it that way.

He had that TV on so loud that

you couldn't hear anything,

anywhere else in the house.

Hmm.

How'd you know about the fire?

I could smell burnt wood.

But no one else could?

Okay, um... What happened

when you went downstairs?

Well, I told Claudia that

I smelled something.

So, we went down the stairs.

And, when we got down there,

the door was closed to the den

where the guys were.

I could hear the game. It was

piercing through the walls.

And, um, we went back to the kitchen

and that's where we saw the fire.

Then we went down to the den and

started pounding on the door but they

couldn't hear us.

You know, Mr. Smith always

kept that door locked.

He didn't like to

be disturbed.

How'd you finally get

their attention?

We went outside around to

the back and

we saw them through the window just

oblivious, just laughing and smiling.

So, Claudia finally threw a

rock through the window.

And then they tried to open the den

door but the flames were everywhere.

Is that when Mr. Smith broke

the glass in the window?

That's right, yes.

And what happened then?

Well, he helped George

and Nathan out first but

by that time the flames had risen

all the way to the upper floors.

And the ceiling came

down on Mr. Smith.

Hmm.

And where was Mrs. Smith

at this time?

She was working.

She worked nights

at the local diner.

Okay, um...

Fire Marshal's report states

that the fire

started in the kitchen.

But no one was

in the kitchen. Correct?

I don't know about that.

Okay.

Okay.

That's all I have. Thank you.

Mrs. Clark, I mean...

I'm sorry, Mrs. Wright.

Wright.

One more thing.

Your medical history.

Yes?

There's some indication that you suffer

from some severe sleep disorder.

I used to.

But not anymore?

Yes, that's right.

That's all.

Um, you have my card,

so if you remember anything else,

feel free to give me a call.

I'll show myself out.

Michael?

Mr. Haynes.

Update me.

On the Kohler Project.

Well, you'll be happy to know the

Kohler Project is all but done.

The designs look absolutely

amazing and, uh,

I think the client will

be pleased.

You have a good team

under you?

I have a great team, sir,

actually.

They are great

because of you.

Wars are fought by soldiers.
