their luxury boxes for the night. Given the events of the past two nights, everyone seemed more
than willing to come along quietly. Even Olivia Parsons, who now realized she wasn't locked up
quite as tight in the suite as she thought she was.
Gavin Black, realizing that things were going from bad to worse decided to take the opportunity
to return to the locker room and take care of the situation that was most on his mind: hair gel.
"I can't believe this," he muttered to himself, "I was supposed to be out having a nice date last
night, and today I was supposed to pick up some more hair gel. Two bottles don't last long, you
know. Chicken grease is not my preferred fallback... but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do!"
In the dark he could see a few glasses still on the table, and what appeared to be the remains of
the day's spread. There wasn't much in there, and the pickings were slim.
"Oh, this is no good," he moaned, "I really need more gel!" Behind him, Homer Simian quietly
raised his arm.
"No you don't," he uttered.

Elsewhere, Marcy Swanson was getting ready for bed. She didn't much like the makeshift bed that
the couch in her suite represented, but there was a nice view of the field that she would wake up
to when it was light again. As she returned from the restroom, she was thinking about watching
some television before turning the light out for the night when she discovered a glass of wine and
some food that had been left for her.
"Oh, that's perfect," she thought. "Nothing like some wine to take the edge off of these terrible
events and I do love cheese and crackers!"
She sat down on the couch and began to eat. The cheese was aged, although it wasn't clear if that
was intentional or not. Still she did like it.
The wine, on the other hand, had a bit of an odd aftertaste,
although she didn't have long to experience it.

When morning came, once again the party was assembled in the locker room. Not only was Rick absent, but
Gavin and Marcy as well. People stirred anxiously, but no one spoke until Mr. Harrison and Josef arrived.
Mr. Harrison stood off to one side and simply motioned for Josef to speak as he silently stood
there with tear stained cheeks.
"I am," Josef began, "Incredibly disappointed to have to inform you all zat Gavin Black was ze third
player found murdered in zis stadium. He died last night, also in zis locker room, and was TOWN.
I investigated thoroughly before you all awoke, and believe it was ze same murder weapon zat killed
Laird Wausden and Spikes McGee.
"Furthermore, when Magnus went to fetch Marcy zis morning,
she was also found dead... It appears... how shall I put zis... zat she was poisoned."
Audible gasps came from those present as people glanced nervously left and right.
"Unfortunately, she was also TOWN," Josef continued.
"And finally, I am sure you are all wondering about Rick. Well, perhaps not all of you. You zee,
he was TOWN as well. It does zeem as though ze mafia have played us for fools, and I fear
we are running out of time."
