When my team and I received the clue packet for the neighborhood game, we really didn’t know what to expect or what issue we were trying to address. So, without anything to create a plan of action around, we decided to review the only thing we were given, the packet of clues. After opening the packet, we each took a small pile of the clue cards and read aloud or noted what was written on them.

In the morning, I didn't even bother talking to Vic. It was going to embarrassing for him in any manner, so before he could wake up I grabbed my clothes and hurried to the bathrooms. People moved back and out of my way like they had been ever since I had punched that guy in here. After I was dressed, I went down for breakfast and actually sat with Justin today.

On the mini coffee table that was half a meter away from the black velvet sofas, I saw a card with my name on it, then eyed everyone in the room curiously, but I don’t think that they knew who it was from.
