Murder Your Employer: The McMasters Guide to Homicide

Cliff begins by saying he hopes to meet his sponsor one day but is told there is no advanced notice for graduation. Students leave when the staff deem them ready and the likelihood of meeting anyone having to do with the school after one “graduates” is low.

The all-school Track Meet that night, however, feels like a graduation as there is ceremony and diploma-like scrolls given out specifying if one is a hunter and who they are hunting or if they are someone’s quarry. Cubby shows Cliff that his quarry is Gemma and when Cliff is in his room, he is confused to see his scroll says he is a hunter and his quarry is Cliff Iverson. His neighbor Audrey calls through the wall that she has had the same odd assignment. They decide to switch scrolls and set up a simultaneous kill to ensure each gets credit as Audrey thinks she will be “failed” out of McMasters soon. Gemma finds she is someone’s quarry and heads to the isolated castle on the far side of Raven Ravine, thinking no one will be able to get to her if she has the gondola on her side.
