Like I said, Mister Hawk, I do not know the cause of it, nor whether it was accidental or otherwise. It is inconsequential. Knowing that it was an accident or caused by someone who wished to set it on fire does not bring my father back to life.

You can suppose, but you are not ready to hear about the process just yet. Even I am unsure of certain elements of it, so why explain when there are gaps in my knowledge?

And spare me your threats. I was told the deaths were necessary to root out our mole problem. It was...admittedly, rather extreme, which is why I allowed the man publicly accused of the murders to go free. You all knew him as Deputy Drew. That young man is with his family, safe and sound.
