“The first people to suffer from the combustion phenomenon were the actors on the stage at the time, except for Melissa Pearce. “If she was it was an oversight.” I answered. “Wasn’t Melissa Pearce reported among the dead?” The reporter asked, making it sound like a dare. He looked uncertain for a second but nodded once and gestured for me to take the question. “Captain?” I said before Baker could answer. “And do you have any suspects?” One reporter asked, I didn’t like the accusing look she was giving us. We have not found any concrete explanation as to why some people were not affected.” He continued where I left off “As I said, the fires were caused by an unknown chemical weapon, we are still investigating but at this time all we have is speculation on the delivery mechanism and properties of the chemicals used. That was true, quite a few people escaped with their lives, more died but Eve hardly went out of her way to kill everyone.īaker nodded to me, he didn’t say it of course but he was happy with how I handled the question. I hadn’t told anyone but the wounds under those bandages had actually been completely healed by the time I woke up that morning, same for the burns and scratches on my left leg. “I wouldn’t say I got out unharmed.” I said, rolling up the sleeve of my jacket to show the bandages up most of my right arm. I took a second to collect my thoughts before answering. All eyes turned to me and I almost blurted out the truth, or at least what Eve had told me.
“I’m asking her the question.” The reporter said sharply. The Captain didn’t like that but kept his cool. “That was becaus-” Baker began but the reporter cut him off. “If that’s true then how did Detective Brea survive without so much as a minor burn?” “Another question,” Another reported said, standing. “That was the result of the unknown chemical weapon used to start the fire.” Captain Baker spoke up to cover my aborted response. “That was…” I began, I stopped myself though when I thought about how ridiculous the truth would sound to most anyone else. “How about accounts of emergency responders and civilians bursting into flames?” “We do not believe the Carnegie Hall incident to be an accident however, terrorism has not been ruled out but it could have been the actions of an individual for personal reasons.” “At this time we cannot confirm a connection between the two,” Captain Baker answered gruffly. “Is this incident connected to the attack on Penn Station? They occurred around the same time, correct?”
“So you’re saying this could be the work of a terrorist?” One reporter asked.
