FIFTY-TWO

MIDNIGHT

THE JESTER’S PROGRESS

By Tracy Frost

For those of you still following this story at midnight, I hope your bosses are going to be understanding when you call in late tomorrow. Judging by the number of comments on the last two articles, it looks like there are quite a few of you.

For this midnight update, I can confirm that the team has travelled to Four Stones at Clent and are currently working on the clue to the next puzzle.

It’s also worth noting that the case has now made the local news, which as you can imagine has thrilled the team trying to find the culprit.

The team working the case are tired, hungry, frustrated and getting criticism from every direction. However, that has not dampened their determination to find the person responsible for this game before someone gets hurt.

And to you, Jester, I know you’re reading these articles. You want to gobble up every piece of news with your name on it. You want to read the comments, positive or negative, because they’re about you. You need that feedback, that attention, but as clever as you are, you’re also a coward and a cheat who is governed by rules and control.

That need for validation is what is going to get you caught.
