## Summary

##### **8/29/2014: Friday**

Frank had a busy day at work. Milo went wandering in the woods, looking for the spook house. Cynthia invited herself to join Magnolia for bingo night. Tom tried to listen to gossip at Wayne's Bar, looking for anything about Hector, but wasn't successful. Bingo night was an interesting time, wherein Cynthia managed to corner Madoc Jones at one point.

##### **8/30/2014: Saturday**

Cynthia tried to corner Madoc Jones under the guise of lunch, but wasn't successful. She dropped by Tom's house to check on him.

##### **8/31/2014: Sunday**

On the way to work, Tom sees Hector walking on the side of the road. Cynthia goes to her knitting club, which is mostly gossip about Maggie's opinions of Madoc Jones. After knitting club, she dropped by Tom's house again, and gave him some advice on how to approach Hector. Frank spent the evening at Wayne's Bar, and learned the local vandal has resurfaced.

##### **9/01/2014: Monday**

Tom woke up early, and learned Hector's morning walks take him by Tom's house. Milo visited the ice cream store, and convinced Benno to show him where the spook house is. Cynthia visited Milo at the B&B.

##### **9/02/2014: Tuesday**

During the slow day at the ice cream store, Frank had a chat with Sal, and got some information about the vandal. Cynthia cornered Madoc as he was leaving for bingo. Frank went looking around town for any sign of the vandal, and ran into someone in the grocery store parking lot.

##### **9/03/2014: Wednesday**

Just after 2 in the morning, Milo got a phone call from Benno. After several hours of wandering around in the woods, they finally made it to the spook house, but the ice cream kids didn't want to stick around so everyone headed back--but not before Milo caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye. Milo's car being left in the grocery store parking lot overnight got picked up on the security cameras, and people in town don't think highly of him for that.

Reluctantly, Nova left for NYC.

##### **9/04/2014: Thursday**

Milo returned to the spook house, but didn't manage much investigating before he fell into the basement. He had to call Frank to haul him out, and then spent a few days recuperating in the ice cream shop.

Afya invited Frank to join the GPPS, which he did--though he turned down the offered position of treasurer.

##### **9/07/2014: Sunday**

Tom left for work when he knew Hector would be on the road, and had a bit of a chat. He accepted an invitation to go fishing early the next morning.

While at the ice cream store, Milo had time to go through his footage from the spook house--and found something.

## Notes

Bingo night:

* According to Maggie Hight, Madoc has been playing for about a week and a half
* Cynthia gave Maggie a (fairly obvious) stroke of luck in the last round, but Madoc won anyway

Vandalism:

* A pretty common cycle of going until they almost get caught, and then stopping
* According to Sal, he graduated a while ago, and no one likes him much

Madoc Jones:

* His bingo secrets are cocaine
* Which he's having trouble getting in Granton (see, the middle of nowhere Vermont)

The Spook House:

* A long walk (several hours) from town, through the woods
* A big hole in the floor, on both levels--though the 2nd story has less floor space, and thus a smaller hole in said floor space
* This makes it hard to navigate the house
* Basement's dangerous and a bad fall
* A figure in the upstairs window, picked up by Milo's camera

Hector:

* Lives up the road (still unspecified exactly where up the road)
* Has been eating at the diner, because:
* His fridge (and other appliances?) haven't shown up yet; shipping to Granton takes a while
* 4 a.m. fishing
