Willmore enters to see a busted up Cook lying on the floor with blood in his ears. Wake him up. He’s not very happy he woke up – he can’t stand the idea of having to face Shanks. He requests you to check if anything missing. Check the locker. Scully’s laptop is gone. Willmore’s not happy. Phone rings. Cook informs Willmore that it’s Willmore’s phone. Pick up the phone. It’s Agent Pendrell! He’s calling from the Sci Crime Lab in D.C. He has bad news. The blood from the warehouse is Scully’s. Willmore feels worse. Confirms with Pendrell if he is certain. Pendrell is certain and worried himself (According to the mainstream X-Files, Pendrell has a romantic interest in Scully). Pendrell requests Willmore to keep him informed. To my knowledge, there’s no way for Willmore to do this in the game. I am assuming Willmore is keeping him informed although that is not obvious in the game. Willmore agrees to keep Pendrell informed and hangs up the phone. Cook enters Willmore’s office and informs him that Wong’s dead – “That fisherman you interviewed yesterday has just been shot to death.” Ask Cook how he knew about Wong. Cook will say that Willmore informed him. Now, here’s the catch:
Cook will hesitate a bit and say that Skinner must have mentioned it – “Oh… I guess Skinner must’ve mentioned it.” This is the first fishy behavior exhibited by Cook. But is it enough to distrust Cook already? It’s up to Willmore. One has to think of this from Willmore’s point of view. Cook is a Special Agent of the FBI and a dear friend of Willmore who has worked with him for four years. Maybe Skinner did mention it. Or perhaps Shanks forwarded Willmore’s notes to Cook, and Cook is just confused completely because of a head wound. It is entirely up to Willmore to decide whether or not to continue/start informing Cook. From a practical point of view, I would decide to continue updating Cook indicating the continued trust. I feel that this is not enough for Willmore to distrust Cook. E-mail updates to Shanks, Skinner and John Amis (let Amis know about the blood match; after all, Willmore did take the blood to him first. So he will be interested to know the results). Willmore updating Amis about important things will cause Amis to act in a friendly way to Willmore. Nothing to do now at the field office. Get to the dockside warehouse.
Area sealed by Seattle Police Department (SPD). Show Willmore’s badge to the officer. He’ll let Willmore in. The medical examiner congratulates Wong for getting the FBI involved – How does he know Willmore is FBI? Start with the medical examiner. Ask him what he has to say. He’ll say – “Well Agent Willmore, barring any unexpected revelation, looks like somebody shot this man in the back of the head.” He recognizes Willmore. But How? – Willmore worked with that medical examiner on a kidnapping case, the previous year. Willmore apologizes for not remembering him. The medical examiner acknowledges that it was a big team – “No problem. It was a big team.” The medical examiner informs Willmore that Wong has been dead for approximately 6 hours, going by his preliminary analysis – that means Wong was killed early in the morning. He also informs Willmore that a large caliber weapon was used to kill Wong – .45 or .357. Truth is it’s neither as Willmore will find out soon. It’s a .38. Just like the .38 slug found at the warehouse. The medical examiner says that the slug hit Wong in the mastoid bone (big spongy mass of bone behind the ear) – area where JFK was hit, according to the medical examiner. To Willmore, that is an indication that the medical examiner believes in the lone gunman theory. He tries to confirm this by asking him about it directly. Why he tries to do that is beyond me. The medic gives him a sarcastic response – “No, I think aliens killed JFK!” In other words, he does believe in the lone gunman theory. Willmore indicates his own belief about the JFK assassination (he doesn’t buy the lone gunman theory). In essence, Wong was hit in the back of the head – lots of bone fragments were driven up into the brain. The medical examiner says that there were no signs of struggle – Wong must’ve either known his killer and did not expect the person(s) to kill him or he must have been totally surprised. The medical examiner doesn’t think that there were any witnesses but asks Willmore to clarify this with the primary detective on the homicide – Mary Astadourian.
No point talking to the photographer. He has nothing much to say. He will behave like a lifeless man who has lost everything he ever had. Turn left, go forward. A pretty woman, much to Willmore’s liking, asks you what she can do for you – that’s Mary Astadourian. Let Willmore make an introduction. She is surprised at the involvement of the FBI and asks – “What’s the bureau’s interest in this case?” Be nice to her. There is absolutely no reason for Willmore to hide anything from Astadourian. If Willmore expects Astadourian to co-operate with him, it is only fair that he co-operates with her. Tell her everything. She will be grateful and friendly. If you don’t, Willmore will be thought of as a jerk, and she will make things very difficult for him.
She will explain everything to Willmore. That harbor master found Wong’s body and that Wong was shot once in the back of the head by a large caliber weapon. There are no witnesses. There were no signs of a struggle. Harbor Master has gone to get some coffee. Astadourian is yet to question him. Astadourian feels that the motive for Wong’s murder is robbery. Willmore does not buy this – Wong did not look like a guy who had much to be stolen from. Astadourian agrees with Willmore’s conviction but insists that robbery still could be a possibility. She makes a crack at Willmore – “Or maybe he was killed for squealing to the Feds.” Willmore does not find this funny. The next two questions – You can only ask one. Up to Willmore. I prefer “Any reports of trouble in this area?” Astadourian says “Nah. All’s quite on the waterfront.” Time to get into the boat. Astadourian invites Willmore with her to the boat.
The moment they step in, they find all kinds of suspicious things about Wong. The boat has no bait and no fishing gear. No possible way to store a fisherman’s catch. Not even an ice chest. So where does the fish go? Get inside the cabin. Look around the cabin. Willmore should notice a yellow weather slicker. Click on that. It’s labeled “Tarakan.” Willmore has no idea what that means. Turn right twice. You’ll see a cabinet. Open it. There’s something in there. Click on that. What are they? Stolen painkillers – no prescription labels, industrial strength quantities as well. Get out of the cabin. Talk to Astadourian (click all icons on the top of the screen). She has no idea what Tarakan means either. Willmore reiterates that the motive cannot be robbery having now found stolen painkillers in the cabin and after seeing everything that they have seen thus far on the boat. Astadourian agrees but asks Willmore to not make a determination in the matter before seeing what the autopsy on Wong reveals. Astadourian feels that Wong must have used the boat for something other than fishing. This could explain why he was killed. Willmore informs Astadourian that fish stocks have been declining in the area (Wong mentioned this to Willmore the previous day).
The medical examiner is ready to take Wong’s body to the coroner’s. He has agreed to ask “Truitt” to give Astadourian a call after she has completed the autopsy on Wong. Harbor Master (Dan Zirlin) returns with coffee for himself and Astadourian. No coffee for Willmore, unfortunately. Start by getting out of the boat and showing the harbor master a picture of Mulder & Scully. He should recognize them. He’ll inform Willmore that they questioned him earlier about the warehouse. Ask about the warehouse (click the warehouse icon on the top of the screen). Zirlin will fax Willmore information about the warehouse (actually he’ll email the info). Ask all other questions. According to Zirlin, Wong started docking in Seattle in 1994. He has known Wong for approximately 2 years. Nothing unusual about the previous night. To the best of Zirlin’s knowledge, Wong didn’t seem to have any enemies. Zirlin doesn’t think Wong had financial difficulties, since he was always paid is berth-fees on time. However, he says that fishermen have been experiencing a tough time and that it’s possible that Wong was feeling the pressure as well.
Make sure you click all icons on the top of the screen. Zirlin says Tarakan was an ocean-going tug and that it burned at sea about a month back. Zirlin has no idea why Wong would have a “Tarakan” slicker in his cabin. Zirlin doesn’t think Wong knew the Tarakan crew. He feels that Wong may have picked it up as scrap after the fire. Astadourian now remembers hearing about the Tarakan fire incident – entire crew died. Zirlin will offer to take Willmore and Astadourian to the Tarakan. Ask the remaining questions. Zirlin says that boats usually have a “live-well” on the hold that keeps water circulating over the fish. Bigger outfits usually have a refrigerating holding tank. Zirlin says that he has no idea why Wong’s boat has neither the “live-well” nor the “refrigerating holding tank”. Concurs with Willmore and Astadourian that this is strange. Wong was telling the truth about fish stocks declining in the area and about the cause for the decline. However, Zirlin adds that Wong was the only fisherman still doing well until his death.
Lots of strange things about Wong. Wong lied to Willmore alright. But only about himself. Not about the warehouse or anything else, however. But he is a shady character. He has been doing something fishy – lack of fishing equipment, “Tarakan” slicker and the stolen painkillers prove this. Time to pay a visit to the Tarakan. E-mail updates to Shanks, Skinner and Cook. Leave.
Willmore, Astadourian and the Harbor Master Zirlin arrive. According to Zirlin, Cost Guard cutters and the Stalwart saw a fire on horizon and Rushed out to the Tarakan. By the time they arrived, the entire crew were burned to death. 9 men on-board. Only 4 bodies were recovered. Rest were presumed lost at sea (rest need not necessarily have died though; so entire crew weren’t necessarily burned to death). Willmore notes something strange – fire damage appears to be contained in the hull; no damage to the cabin and the interior. How can the crew be killed a fire that only burned the hull? And why is it that the fire only burned the hull? Why not the cabin and the interior? This is the first sign of Willmore’s practicality. He’s not bound by strict scientific theories as Scully is. In other words, if he sees something strange, he admits to himself and says it openly that it is strange, although he may not want to say anything beyond that. In this respect, he’s truly indifferent. He’s not as fascinated by unusual things as Mulder is but is not as much of a science-dependent as Scully is either. Astadourian’s line of thinking is similar to Willmore’s to a certain degree in this respect.
Zirlin leaves as he has a lot of work to do, after being granted permission by Astadourian. So, it’s up to Willmore and Astadourian now. Get inside the Tarakan. Once Willmore gets in, turn right. Keep going straight until Willmore sees kind of an engine room to the right. “Delarang Masuk Kecuali” or something close to this will be written on the entrance. It’s not easy to give “forward, right, left” directions here. Just try to look for some boxes with an eagle-like symbol on it. It will be to the bottom of Willmore’s vision (he has to look down). Zoom in on that eagle-like symbol. Look for a storage area. Willmore should see a crate there. Open it. There’s something in there – something big and round (like a sphere). Click on it. Willmore is taking his chances here by trying to open the lid of the sphere. It might be a bomb. Willmore doesn’t know. He thinks and hopes it isn’t and opens it. Nothing. It’s empty. Leave that area.
Get back near the entrance. Turn right. There’s another entrance ahead there. Get in there. Willmore will have go upstairs. There’s a room ahead. Look for a kind of a diary. Then look for a kind of a payroll log. Move around till Willmore finds a door (don’t go up or down the stairs). Open it to get outside. Turn left. Go forward and turn left again. Notice the outlines of three men etched onto the walls of the cabin exterior. What could have caused this? Willmore has no idea. Keep going forward. Turn left. Willmore should find a ladder. Go up. Get inside the wheel house in front of Willmore. Willmore should find Astadourian there. She hasn’t found anything. She’s too scared to walk around that tug, apparently. Move your mouse around until the “eye figure” comes. Then click. Zoom in. Zoom out. Willmore should have noticed something. The wheel house had been dusted earlier for fingerprints. Apparently from the first investigation into the fire. Astadourian notices a fresh set of fingerprints on top of the previously dusted fingerprints. Someone’s been there or it’s pretty sloppy police work as Astadourian says. Call Amis using Willmore’s phone to get the prints lifted.
Talk to Astadourian again. Show her the outlines of the men Willmore saw (click on the three-figures icon on the top of the screen). The outlines of the men remind Astadourian of what she has seen in Hiroshima as a child although she has no idea what causes the outlines. She says that the blast from the bomb in Hiroshima left the outlines of people behind. It freaked her out. Probably freaks her out now as she sees another set of outlines. But what could have caused something like this on the Tarakan? A bomb? The explosion in Hiroshima was a nuclear explosion. There cannot have been a nuclear explosion onboard the Tarakan. That would have destroyed the entire area around Seattle. What caused the creation of outlines on the walls of the cabin exterior then? An ordinary fire never causes this. Willmore is out of ideas. Another sign of Willmore’s practicality. Admits to himself in a subtle kind of way that it cannot have been an ordinary fire.
Get back to the wheel house. Talk to Astadourian again. Show her the sphere. She’s scared at the sight of it. As Willmore opens it, she freaks out. One more item to be analyzed by John Amis, of course. Show Astadourian that payroll log and the diary-like thing. Astadourian recognizes the inscription as Cyrillic. She says “Seattle PD has a task force investigating smuggling out of the former Soviet Union. They’ve got a full time translator over there. I can get it translated.” In other words she’s requesting Willmore’s permission – if she can get it translated. Now, it’s Willmore’s choice. What is done here will have a huge influence on both Willmore’s and Astadourian’s behavior. Be nice! Frankly, there’s no reason to reject. She’s a detective. She knows what she’s doing. No reason to not have her translate it. And obviously if SPD has a full-time translator, it can get it translated faster. Allow her to get it translated. She’s grateful and is starting to like Willmore a lot.
An SPD officer arrives to inform Astadourian that the coroner has completed the autopsy on James Wong. Head to the Coroner’s office. That’s Willmore’s next stop. Email updates to Shanks, Skinner and Cook before leaving.
Astadourian introduces Willmore to Coroner Joan Truitt. Truitt tells them that this is the most unusual autopsies she has ever performed (she performed another unusual one a few days earlier on the Tarakan crew). Wong died of a single gun shot wound. Rear entry confirmed. Large caliber weapon, point-blank range. It turns out that Wong was also a drug user. He was high at the time of death. So, Willmore was right – robbery cannot possibly be the motive. Wong being high on drugs at the time of death could explain the lack of struggle. Truitt adds that if Wong wasn’t shot, he would have died within a matter of weeks anyway; even if he hadn’t been taking drugs. Why asks Willmore. Wong was completely riddled with massive tumors – a condition Truitt had never seen before.
Ask all questions (including the ones triggered by the icons on the top of the screen). Truitt says three separate kinds of cancers were removed from Wong’s body. She says she wouldn’t be surprised if turns out that Wong had a few more kinds of cancers in him. Truitt says that there is no syndrome or any kind of scientific definition that explains such a condition. She has no idea as to what could cause such a condition – her best guess is radio-active materials and certain classes of powerful mutagenic chemicals. She says tumors are highly unpredictable, which means she cannot really say how long Wong had been ill. However, she says that it’s fair enough to say that Wong must have been in immense pain. Even with the drugs Wong was taking, a condition such as this would be almost impossible to ignore. Amount of drugs needed to ease the pain, caused by this condition, would have made Wong look and behave like a zombie. Willmore is confused by this as Wong never seemed high (like a zombie) when he questioned him. Truitt has never seen anything like Wong’s case recently. Willmore will ask if he can get the slug analyzed at the FBI crime lab (ask that question; make sure this is done. Otherwise the game will not proceed). Enough with Truitt. Talk to Astadourian. Click on the “Tarakan” icon on the top of the screen. Willmore asks Astadourian – “Could this be connected to the Tarakan?” Astadourian replies – “Yeah, I was wondering about that myself”
Truitt recognizes that name – “The Tarakan! I remember that. You’re the second FBI agent to mention that this week.” Willmore wonders who that first one could be. He looks at Astadourian in a confused way and asks Truitt what she means by this. Truitt goes on – “Actually, to be specific, you’re the third FBI Agent. There were a pair here the other day. A man and a woman.” It’s Mulder & Scully! Truitt says that they had the crew of the Tarakan crew members exhumed. Scully insisted on performing a second autopsy. Willmore confirms with Truitt that it is indeed Mulder & Scully (ask that question). Truitt doesn’t remember names, but she remembers well enough to say “Diana Scully” and “Wolf Mulder.” Astadourian asks as to what Scully found. Truitt has no idea. Truitt says that the bodies are still there at the morgue if Willmore and Astadourian intend to see them. Willmore asks what the results of the original autopsy were. Truitt says that they died of severe burns. Astadourian says that Willmore and herself would like to see them. Both Willmore and Astadourian are not very excited about the idea of seeing the burned bodies. But they have to and they are ready to. Truitt scares them further – “Fair warning. This is gonna be pretty bad…” Astadourian gulps. She’s peachy and wants to get this over with. Truitt’s fine with that. Bodies are gone – Stolen! Truitt asks Willmore and Astadourian to wait while she checks on what has happened.
Astadourian and Willmore wonder what’s going on. They wonder about everything regarding their case. Ask any relevant sensible question here. I prefer this question – “How is Mulder & Scully’s case linked to Wong?” Astadourian suddenly realizes something and gulps. She has a theory. She thinks that the Tarakan crew is involved in smuggling. She feels that the Tarakan crew is possibly involved in smuggling radioactive materials or chemical weapons into the U.S. from the former Soviet Union. She also feels that Wong was a member of the Tarakan crew (everything she says up to this point is indeed true). Astadourian also feels that the Tarakan crew fried themselves mishandling plutonium. The rest of the smugglers stole the body to prevent the authorities from finding anything (She’s 100% wrong here; this part is explained in the “Missing Links Interpretation). She also feels that Wong was killed because the smugglers thought he talked (she’s wrong again; truth is that Wong was killed to serve as a distraction; and the smugglers are not the ones who killed Wong). She feels that Mulder & Scully got too close (she is right here as well; but what they got close to – she’s wrong about that). It’s a theory. Willmore is no Mulder. He can’t even begin to speculate about the three-figures or any of the unusual things he has seen. But this is the only theory on hand. Although he has certain doubts, he finds Astadourian’s theory to be pretty convincing…for the moment. So, he decides to go along with it. Why Astadourian is wrong and what really happened is explained in the “Missing Links Interpretation.” E-mail updates to Shanks, Skinner and Cook before leaving.
Willmore observes John Amis reading a comic during lunch hour. Amis is not impressed with the disturbance during lunch hour. Willmore is shocked at Amis’ mood – “You’re in a mood today!” Amis smiles and asks what Willmore wants. Give the big sphere. Amis is shocked at the sight of the big thing. Agrees to have it tested and inform Willmore about what it is. Give him the slug. He loves it. He loves bullets. He feels bullets are similar in nature to Willmore – “Simple, tough, silent. Kind of like you there Willmore. Yet in the right hands, they speak volumes.” Willmore’s flattered by Amis’ comparison. Amis agrees to match it with the previous slug Willmore gave him. Let Willmore have another friendly chat with Amis. Ask about Gloria (Amis’ ex-wife), ask about what he’s been up to, ask about that dollar, etc. Get to Willmore’s apartment.
In one of the e-mail replies to Willmore, Skinner expressed confidence in Willmore’s ability to resolve the disappearance of his two missing agents. He also suggested that Willmore conduct a second night-time surveillance at the dockside warehouse. Be ready for that. But first get to the answering machine/phone. Click. It’s Barbara (Willmore’s ex-wife) and Elizabeth (Willmore’s daughter; Message from Elizabeth will only be there if an “indifferent character” had been chosen for Willmore). A kind and caring message from Barbara and Elizabeth can be heard only if the “indifferent” character had been chosen for Willmore. Another message will be there. This one from Amis. He got the prints from the Tarakan lifted. He couldn’t find any matches after accessing the databases available to him. He sent the digital files via e-mail in standard format. Log on to Willmore’s computer. Click E-mail. Open Amis’s e-mail. Click the attachment at the bottom of the message. Run a check on the citizen database. Nothing. Run a check on the FBI database – Positive: Special Agent Mark Cook.
It’s Cook! What? How? Why? Log off to hear a knock on the door. Open the door. It’s Cook! No… he’s not there to kill Willmore if that was the first thought. He’s in shock. Panicking. Willmore asks “What are you doing?” Cook is irate – “No man, what the hell are you doing? You’re supposed to be keeping me informed about your case. Have I been informed? No? I’ve been kept completely in the dark. You know the policy, always have a backup. What if something happened to you? Where would your investigation be then huh? Agents lives are on the line here. You better think about that rather than thinking about scoring points with Skinner” Willmore’s completely perplexed and shocked at what he’s hearing (especially considering the fact that he has indeed been informing Cook). Three emotions to choose from:
Cook says he’s going nuts. He says he’s being followed by two guys in a sedan. He adds that it could be the same one Willmore and Skinner tangled with. Here’s the deal – if Willmore did tell him about the sedan (e-mailing the 2nd set of field notes), Cook will obviously know about it. If Willmore didn’t tell Cook about it, Willmore must wonder how Cook knew about that. Of course, maybe Shanks forwarded the notes. That is possible. Cook feels that the guys in the sedan work for the Federal Government. He adds that Mulder & Scully stumbled on to some kind of corruption that runs all the way into the bureau itself. Willmore can choose any response here (it’s not vital to the game; Note the “You may be right” response though. Keep that in mind for later). Cook wants Willmore to fill him in on what’s been happening with the investigation. Three options are given:
Choosing the first one will cause Cook to be suspicious of Willmore. Cook will mention that he doesn’t understand how the leads can’t make any sense. Cook says that going by the e-mails Willmore sent him, he thought Willmore was making progress. Willmore will then obviously say, “So I guess I haven’t kept you totally in the dark, huh (actually Willmore will say this regardless of which option is chosen to indicate his frustration in regard to Cook’s anger)? Choosing the second and third option will indicate the continued trust of Willmore towards Cook. Cook urges caution for both Willmore and himself. He feels that whoever is involved could well be coming after them soon. Cook also urges Willmore to continue keeping him in the loop. Now’s Willmore’s chance to question Cook about his fingerprints on the Tarakan. Click on the “fingerprints icon” on the top of the screen.
Willmore asks calmly – “So why were your fingerprints found on the Tarakan?” Cook asks “What?” Willmore asks – “Just wondering how your fingerprints were found on a ship that was involved in ten deaths, two disappearances…something you should probably never even have heard of.” Cook hesitates a little, and then speaks. Cook says he was called in to investigate the fire when it happened. So, how come Willmore never heard of Cook’s investigation? Cook says he has no idea why Willmore never heard of it. Willmore stares at him. Cook then says that he was way below radar and that’s the reason he never mentioned it. He filed his report with Shanks. The story ended there (believe it or not, Cook is telling the truth here. This will be confirmed when Willmore sends the field notes that has this conversation to Shanks. Shanks reply will not deny Cook’s story of the Tarakan (certainly if Cook is not telling the truth here, Shanks would reply saying that Cook never filed any report with him in this matter).
Cook then realizes something. He says this is probably why he’s being followed. Cook says that he assumed that the Tarakan crew were smugglers and that he mentioned this in his report. If someone’s seen his report, that means someone in the bureau is involved (Cook is right, here. Someone from the bureau is indeed involved). Cook adds that there’s a massive smuggling ring paying federal officials, maybe even FBI agents, to look the other way (Willmore shakes his head in the negative – he doesn’t buy Cook’s story)… including following agents who get a little too close to the truth (Cook’s theory is false here). Cook urges Willmore to keep him in the loop…again. This time, he adds – “I don’t want you to talk to anybody else but me until we can figure out what the hell is going on here.” Here, Cook is trying to make Willmore suspicious of Shanks and/or Skinner. It doesn’t work really assuming Willmore continues his e-mail updates to Skinner and Shanks. Cook feels that he should get out of there before his car is spotted. Willmore tells Cook that he’s going to the dockside warehouse for surveillance. Cook urges caution, and leaves. E-mail Shanks, Skinner and John Amis about the fingerprints match and the conversation with Cook. When Willmore e-mails Amis about the conversation with Cook, Willmore will write a separate e-mail for Amis reminding him about the sphere he gave for testing.
Head to the warehouse
Truck parked in front of Willmore. “Gordon’s Hauling, Charno” on door. Be extremely careful here. Go one step forward. Don’t turn right or left (Willmore dies if you do that). Get inside the truck. Move your mouse around the top-left part of the screen and click when you see the “action-hand icon.” Willmore will move around the truck searching. Then he’ll see a dashboard in front of him. Click there. Willmore will see a “Clay’s BBQ” paper with something printed on it. Click on that. Willmore picks it up. Read quickly:
RR #1121
82434
No time to think about what it is. Get out of the truck – Turn right, go forward. Willmore observes a crew-cut man get in the truck and drive off. E-mail updates to Shanks and Skinner (and Cook if you feel Willmore can continue trusting him). Check Willmore’s e-mail via the PDA. Zirlin must have sent the numbers. Go through it. Don’t delete it. Save it or later. Try calling anytime later (not vital to the game). Bear in mind that Willmore will not be able to run an ING check on those numbers. Those numbers are international numbers. Head back home.
That sure was a long day filled with lots of unusual things for Willmore. It’s time to give the man some rest. But first… go to the kitchen and look out the window (Although I’m not certain, I believe this will only be possible if Willmore said “You may be right” to Cook in combination with the 3rd option, when Cook mentioned his theory about corruption right after he barged into Willmore’s apartment). Willmore should see a guy walking back and forth on the sidewalk. He spots Willmore looking out of the Window; then he gets into his car quickly and drives off. It’s obviously not clear who it is. It is not the black sedan. It’s some other vehicle. The guy does vaguely look like Cook (height). But Willmore can never be sure of this. It’s too dark. Now, log on to Willmore’s computer. Click on Media. Type Tarakan and search. Read the article that comes up. Keep note of the date when the fire occurred. Reading the article will cause Willmore to correct Astadourian later the next day when she refers to the Tarakan crew as “Russian.” Willmore will say – “Actually, they’re Georgian you know.” Get to Willmore’s bedroom, read the journal and let the man sleep.
