While reading the book, you find a handwritten note. It reads:
Carol, I heard about Frank? I know he's been under a lot of pressure out there. The government keeps shifting the blame for delays on construction workers, what did they think would happen? Everyone's working as hard as they can and wants to loosen up at the end of a long day with a couple drinks. People start butting heads and suddenly everyone thinks something serious happened and security gets involved. I think they're blowing everything out of proportion to keep blaming delays on the people actually doing the work. I'm on your side. My uncle was under house arrest for 5 years, it was very tough for him. Let me know if there's anything I can do.
