The Assassination of James Connors was a murder perpetrated by Adina Johnson in order to avenge the death of her son Billy Johnson.
==Background==
In 2009, NOPD Detective James Connors was holding the young Billy Johnson at gunpoint when he was surprised by the Destruction of the Roxxon Gulf Platform, causing him to fire his gun and mortally shoot Billy.Cloak & Dagger: 1.01: First Light Billy's death was witnessed by his brother Tyrone, but Tyrone's testimony failed to be accepted due to Connors' crime being covered up by his uncle Asa Henderson.Cloak & Dagger: 2.07: Vikingtown Sound Billy's parents Otis and Adina struggled to accept the loss of their eldest son, even after it was made clear that Tyrone had told the truth all along.Cloak & Dagger: 1.09: Back Breaker
In the heat of a confrontation against Tyrone, Connors was absorbed into the Dark DimensionCloak & Dagger: 1.10: Colony Collapse, where he began expressing genuine guilt and remorse at the idea of what he had done. Once he was released from the Dark Dimension, he turned himself in to Tyrone in an attempt to make amends. Once Tyrone was done listening to Connors, he brought the fallen detective to his mother Adina, who interrogated him as well in order to finally find closure.Cloak & Dagger: 2.05: Alignment Chart
==Assassination==
Remaining alone with Detective James Connors, Adina Johnson tied him up to a chair and began interrogating him, making it clear from the beginning that the idea of killing Connors was in her mind. Adina had Connors give her all the details on how the death of her son Billy had been covered up. Adina left no stone unturned, even learning about the involvement of Senator Asa Henderson, Connors' uncle.
The interrogation was briefly interrupted by Adina's husband Otis, who disagreed with her initiative and left the house. Adina carried on her interrogation, but began angrily snapping at Connors, explaining that she was still afraid of him even after she had him tied up to a chair and did not trust him in the slightest. She eventually had Connors give up the location of where Billy was buried.
Despite everything Connors had confessed, Adina found herself unable to forgive what he had done to her family. Therefore, under the false pretense of letting him use the bathroom, she untied him and led him to the bathroom, which she had previously covered in tarp. She then lured Connors inside, and when he switched on the light, Connors understood the fate that befell him. As he helplessly watched Adina, she shot him twice, killing him.Cloak & Dagger: 2.08: Two Player
==Aftermath==
Having disposed of James Connors' body, Adina Johnson moved to the next phase of her plan to have the name of her son Tyrone cleared. She went to see Francis Xavier Delgado and, appealing to the remnants of his faith, convinced him to her confession, during which she admitted to the killing of Connors. Using the secrecy of the confession, Adina entrusted Delgado with documents proving the guilt of Connors and Asa Henderson, enabling him to disseminate the documents and clear Tyrone's name without revealing where the documents came from.
Adina later destroyed all evidence that could connect her to Connors' death. She notably burnt down pieces of newspaper covered in Connors' blood, while pretending to her son Tyrone that Connors was still alive and aswering her questions, unaware that Tyrone was watching her.Cloak & Dagger: 2.09: Blue Note
