Zenzi Williams: Niya Curtis

Quotes 

• Captain Alexa Hubble : Ms. Curtis, I'm Captain Alexa Hubble with the Office of Fire Investigation. I believe you've already met Lieutenant Severide.

  Niya Curtis : Yes, hi. Thank you so much for what you did for Miriam. And for me.

  Kelly Severide : How is she doing?

  Niya Curtis : I guess it's a pretty serious spinal injury that the doctors need to get in there and see what they can do. I'm just praying for her.

  Captain Alexa Hubble : It's nice of you to look after her like this.

  Niya Curtis : She doesn't have anyone else. Her husband died last year. Was there any sign of Miles in the salon? My dog?

  Captain Alexa Hubble : No.

  Niya Curtis : Well, that's a good thing, right? Maybe he got out.

  Captain Alexa Hubble : I need to ask you a few questions about the fire. Is that okay?

  Niya Curtis : Yeah, sure.

  Captain Alexa Hubble : Where were you when the fire started?

  Niya Curtis : I don't know when the fire started. I came in early to take Miles for his walk and my salon was in flames. When I checked my security cameras, Miles was in there. He was sleeping by the door. I was trying to find out how the fire started but... See? The camera stopped working. I guess because of the fire. I don't know.

  Kelly Severide : It had cut out at least half an hour before the fire started.

  Captain Alexa Hubble : How often do your cameras shut down like this?

  Niya Curtis : They're just wi-fi cameras. You know how that stuff goes in and out.

  Captain Alexa Hubble : It's a little strange, though, isn't it? The timing?

  Niya Curtis : You think I burned down my salon?

  Captain Alexa Hubble : It is too soon to make a determination, but we are looking for the truth.

  Niya Curtis : Well, here's the truth: I loved that salon. It wasn't ever gonna make me rich, but it was my dream. My own place where my clients could come and--and hang out, and feel like they were at home with family. Miriam is family. I would never put her in danger like that.

  Kelly Severide : Niya, no one's accusing you of anything.

  Niya Curtis : She is!

  Kelly Severide : We're just looking for answers, and this is helpful, what you're telling us. You're not gonna get railroaded here, I promise you.

  Niya Curtis : You have to find whoever did this.

  Kelly Severide : We're gonna try like hell. That's a guarantee. Can you... Can we get a copy of that whole video?

  Niya Curtis : Of course, yes. I-I can send you the link.
