Chapter Thirty

Matthew stared in disbelief at the words on the computer screen in his office beside the news room. The official explanation for the Deputy Minister arriving in Winnipeg to die of her burns, was the plane had crashed into the mall causing the death of an unspecified number of members of the community. No names had been released pending notification of the families. Matthew thought the story sounded a little strange at the time, so he called Georgia.

Georgia told him about explosions and the building collapsing, but since she was in the gym she wasn't an eye witness to the attacks. Matthew tried to get permission to go to Spruce Bay and do the story if nothing else it was a huge human interest story. The bosses had said no. Reluctantly, mind you, but the answer stayed.
