Excerpt from the Official Police Interrogation of Margaret Chase and Ethan Wyatt

December 25

Inspector Patel: So you fell into a secret passageway? And you thought that was normal?

Ms. Chase: Of course it’s not normal. None of this is normal! But...

Inspector Patel: But?

Ms. Chase: She’s Eleanor Ashley.

Inspector Patel: And you just followed it?

Mr. Wyatt: What should we have done?

Inspector Patel: You could have told the police.

Mr. Wyatt: You mean Dobson? Ha. No. We weren’t going to tell Inspector Dobson.

Inspector Patel: So you decided to impede an official police investigation instead?

Mr. Wyatt: Yup.

Ms. Chase: How?

Inspector Patel: Pardon me?

Ms. Chase: How did we impede an investigation, exactly?

Inspector Patel: Destruction of evidence? Of property?

Mr. Wyatt: Why do people keep blaming me for fires that could have happened to anyone?

Ms. Chase: Besides, that wasn’t until later.
