## Events of Island Investigations

### Doom For The Groom

Gerard was first spoken to when tech expert Nicholas Madigan found Gerard's computer at his brother Landen Whitfield's wedding. We interrogated Gerard and asked him what his relations to Landen were and he told us that he was his brother. Detective Leo Lennox and the player were shocked to hear this since Landen was recently murdered at his wedding. We told this to Gerard who didn't seem to care much. Gerard told us that while they grew up, him and Landen never had a close relationship and that he wish he did. Unfortunately, he'll never have this chance now.

Gerard was spoken to again when chief Emma Jansen told the team that she overheard a fight between Gerard and Landen while she was at the bar a few days ago. We asked Gerard about a rumored fight and he told us that Landen got super drunk at the bar the other day and randomly picked a fight with him while he tried to reconnect.

Gerard was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated wedding guest Ella Moonshine for Landen's murder.

### Fate's Arrow

Gerard was later spoken to when Leo and the player found documents he had about dictator Aurelio Matnette near his executioner Silversaw's corpse. When we saw Gerard, he was panicking, before we gave him back his files and he acted relieved. We asked him what this was all about, and he told us that he's been trying to find weaknesses that the dictator might have. However, before he could finish his research, he told us that Silversaw took all his files and threatened to execute him if he followed him. We told him that Silversaw was found murdered in a crowded area and that he should stay near the station.

Gerard was spoken to again after the team found a threat he wrote to Silversaw, saying "Touch my documents and you're dead, buddy!" We immediately put Gerard in our custody and he said that Silversaw had no right to take his documents away. He said the documents he stole were enough to kill over, before we tell him to watch what he says wisely.

Although Gerard was the primary suspect throughout the case, he was proven to be innocent after the team incarcerated robot Dorothy for Silversaw's murder.

## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Shards of Rage

Gerard was first spoken to after detective Connor Stout and the player saw him walking around the streets with a Blades gang tattoo on his face. The player instantly recognizes Gerard and the duo interrogate Gerard about his affiliations with the gang. Gerard tells us that he was a Blades member this entire time and he was forced out of Santa Matnette after his cover was blown. We then told him that his colleague, Blades member Herold Gibbs was found dead in his dining room in the middle of his party and he acts shocked. We then leave him be for the time being.

Gerard was spoken to again after we find a note written to Herold from Gerard, saying, "You got me in this position you little prick! -Gerard." We asked Gerard about the letter and he told us that Herold didn't like that Gerard was doing business for them in England while the rest of them were on the streets fighting in Emerald City. Herold then decided to top off the Santa Matnette Police Force and told them about Gerard's affiliations with the Blades.

Gerard was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Blades member Chachi Rhodes for Herold's murder.

### Turn On The Heat

Gerard was interrogated again after Connor and the player found Gerard's aloe vera cream in the Blades' hideout. When we asked him about it, he told us that he used the cream often. We then told him that Blades leader Mason Mills was just murdered and that we know his killer uses Aloe Vera. He then told us that everyone in the Blades used Aloe Vera apart from Mason and that we can't use it against him.

Gerard was spoken to again after we found a text from Gerard on Mason's phone saying "Chill out, man! I'd love to join your gang, no need to threaten me!" When we asked Gerard about this, he told us that he always wanted to get involved with the Blades, but when Mason reached out to him, he said that he had to join or else Mason would kill Gerard's brother, Landen. Gerard told us that Mason always obsessively threatened everyone for no reason at all.

Gerard was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated retired collector Laszlo Toth for Mason's murder.

## Murder Details

Gerard was found dead in a local garage, his body sliced in half. Sullivan confirmed his injuries consistent with a sharp, fast machinery object, particularly a chainsaw. He also found particular stains near Gerard's suit, which is cheese, ground meat, and paprika, which are the common ingredients of tacos. Since there are none in his stomach, it must have been the killer who left the substance.

## Relationship with Suspects

Gerard often made business deals with businessman T-jay Lewis, with the latter planning to invest in his company. However, T-jay soon learned Gerard was a gang member and feared his company may be just a front for a scam, which resulting him backing out and cut all ties with the gangster. Gerard and his leader, Nedaara Townsend, often discuss things for the gang in secret. Once, Gerard proposed his idea to invest in a mysterious group of hackers, which Nedaara disagreed on and the two argued about it. At the same time, Gerard's girlfriend, Lacey Edwards spied on her boyfriend on suspicions of him due to his excuses on meeting with someone every night, fearing he may have cheated with her. As she followed him to the alleyway, she witnessed Gerard talking to a lady with dreads, a nose ring, and a gothic fashion which turned to be Nedaara. Misunderstanding the situation as an affair, Lacey threatened to break up with Gerard if he didn't tell his intentions with the girl. Furthermore, Gerard had bought weapons from weapons dealer Simon Sams. However, Gerard believed the weapons provided were fake, so in retaliation, Gerard sent Simon a small package which turned out to be a firework, exploding right in front of his face and giving him scars. Gerard usually worked out with actor Donnell Watson and tried to recruit him to join The Blades due to his muscular size, which the latter refused.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Nedaara.

Upon admitting to the murder, Nedaara said that she killed Gerard because he was disrespecting the gang rules and tried to make deals alone, that's how the hacker group came into play. They want global strikes and Nedaara wanted to completely stay out of it, but Gerard made the deal without her agreeing on it. She said she had to kill him to prevent the hackers from harassing them and to cut off the deal before they get deeply involved.

Judge Palin sentenced Nedaara to 30 years in Emerald City Prison.
