BY THE END OF FEBRUARY there was a pervasive tension within the junior school. Teachers came to Voytek with complaints that Hurley was noticeably irritable. He moved teachers and classes from one room to another with little explanation. When Voytek called Hurley into his office to discuss the matter, Hurley answered only that he was unaware that he had acted either angry or upset. Voytek wrote the episode off as tension caused by the pending investigation of the missing money.

Meanwhile, Bill and Lynda continued to be friends. Twice during their separation he came to her house and asked her to make love. She agreed, but later felt used. Even so, Lynda still sensed a connection between them, telling herself that Bill had always come home before. She didn’t yet know about Laura.

Then on February 28, Lynda pulled an envelope from her mailbox. Inside was a half-sheet of notebook paper with a typed letter reading, "The reason for the breakup of your marriage is Laura Nugent. If you received this letter, let me know by wearing a red dress to the junior school's open house." That same night, Hurley came to Laura's house and threw a copy of a similar letter at her. "See what came in the mail. See what people are saying."

Laura stood firm. "It doesn't matter. We aren't doing anything wrong. Bill has filed for a divorce."

The next morning, Lynda Fleming went to Bill's apartment with the letter. He angrily accused her of writing it. "Bill, you know me better than that," she said.

“Yeah, you're right, Lynda. I'm sorry," he replied. "It's just that things seem to be crazy lately. I don't know what to think. Sometimes I just feel like coming home, but I know that if I do I'll never grow up." Before they parted that day, Bill said that he was going to end it with Laura and asked Lynda to make an appointment with a marriage counselor they had used before. Lynda did, but when the appointed date and hour arrived, Bill didn't show up.

Looking back, the strain continued to build, much of it at the school. In early March, Laura, Hurley, and another secretary were asked to take a polygraph test about the missing money. As the designated time approached, their anxiety grew. The two women walked into Voytek’s office on March 6 and said they had decided not to take it; they were visibly shaken. And when Voytek called Hurley to confirm his appointment, Hurley also refused, saying that his ulcer was acting up.

Not long after, Lynda Fleming found a second letter in her mailbox. This time it read: "You weren't at the open house and neither was I. If you didn't receive the letter, here is more information along with dates and times that they were together."

Again Lynda brought it to Bill.

"Who could be doing this?" he asked.

"I don't know," Lynda said. "But you've got someone mighty sick after you."

At school the next day, Hurley walked up to Laura's desk and showed her his own copy of the letter.
