News caster: welcome back, a recap on the news.... now top story.

The fire out break.

With me here is Miss. Lorrie, the witness she will narrate the whole story as she can remember. Miss Lorrie over to you.

Lorrie: Hi, I am a shop keeper, I happened to witness the accident , though not immediately but minutes after, it all happened so quick, a young drunk man came in to by a doll around 00:57 and has soon as he wanted to pay we heard someone shouting fire, so he ran out, I think he called the police because he came back to ask for directions which I gave them.

News caster: Did you just say there was a man, a young man in drunken state for that matter.

Lorrie: Yes, though he wasn't really drunk, I could still smell the liquor, back to the narration, We ran to where the accident took place, and he ordered me to save the man in the truck while he saved the one in the sport car I believed he was saving him as I heard the windows shatter, but as I brought the other man out, this mysterious man was gone, while the man he brought out was burnt without recognition.

News caster: Thanks Soo much once again Miss Lorrie and that's all for now.

At the Saltover's mansion

Mrs Saltover:That can't be our son can it?

Mr Saltover: We need to check first, Bella won't like to hear such news.

The Saltovers go to the police station and requested for the cars, or any thing left as they might know the owner, that are taken to the sight of accident and they realize it's their son's onw, they flee to the mutuary to claim the burnt body as their son's own.

They do a quick burial and head straight to the hospital, to have a quick chat with the doctor and the man from the truck.

Doctor: Are you sure you are going to take responsibility for all the fees.

Mr& Mrs Saltover:Yes doctor.
