Interesting Facts[]

  • After Dr. Grange left the Gold Academy, he transferred to Bridgeport Academy in Vermont, where his maternal grandparents lived.[2]
  • He’d gone on to study law, making him the fourth generation in his family to do so, but still hadn’t gotten his degree. He clerked at his family’s law firm in New York, but he took time off for rehab in a very pricy and exclusive facility after two illegals busts with no time served. There was another stint in rehab, physical this time as he busted himself and his vehicle up while under the influence.
  • Pretended to be on the ’link when Eve came by to interview him.
  • He told Eve he read Deadly Perfection: The Icove Agenda and saw The Icove Agenda vid. His family knew the Drs. Icove, or thought they did.
  • Was badly alibied for the two nights when poisoned golden eggs were dropped off at shipping kiosks. The night before Abner was killed he attended a dinner party with a number of friends, and the night before Duran’s murder, he was at a club with friends.
  • First claimed not to remember Dr. Rufty, but then said “He was a fucking tyrant. Storming in there with his new rules, new agenda. He suspended a good third of the junior and senior classes, installed in-school detention, took the word of weasels there on our dime through scholarships over those of us whose families gave generously to keep that school running. He walked in there like he owned the place. If my parents hadn’t had the good sense to pull me out of there, I might not have gotten into law school because of his tyranny and arrogance. He actually accused me of cheating! And a handful of the substandard instructors, who begrudged the fact my family had wealth and influence and prominence and they were nothing, made wild, baseless accusations. Headmaster Grange understood a few... hijinks shouldn’t affect a teenager’s future.”
  • Eve thought he couldn’t lead himself out of a room made of doors.
