### One Last Smile

Tavell was first interrogated after detective Giles Davis and the player found his watch at the picnic area where the late model Britney Jennings was prior to her murder. When we asked Tavell about his watch and his relations to Britney, he said that his watch fell off somewhere and that Britney was his client. When we asked him what he meant by that, he said that he was Britney's bodyguard. He told us that Britney's death will not be taken lightly and that he hopes we find whoever is responsible soon.

Tavell was interrogated again after the team found a security camera of Tavell and Britney arguing. When we asked Tavell about this, he told us that he hated Britney and that he wished he was with his brother Tycen instead of guarding a dumb model. When we asked him to elaborate, he told us that Britney was almost impossible to protect since she was always in a different place and it was impossible to keep track of her. Tavell said that he considered quitting and moving into a neighboring house to his brother but he needed the extra money.

Tavell was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated photographer Weslie Parlington for Britney's murder.

## Murder Details

Tavell was found at cult Eden's Children's campsite leaning on a stack of hay with toothpicks shoved up his eyes. Sullivan told the team that Tavell's killer encountered him and then punched him in the stomach, causing him to collapse to the ground. The killer then attempted to strangle Tavell, but that didn't work, as there were slight strangulation marks on his neck but not enough to kill. Then, as a last resort, the killer stuck tweezers up his eyes, causing him to bleed out from his eyesockets. Sullivan said that he managed to find a red blocky substance on the tweezers. After sending them to Brianna, Sullivan learned that the substance was strawberries. Since Tavell's stomach was full of protein powder and meat, he told us that it had to have been the killer who ate strawberries.

## Relationship with Suspects

Back when Tavell was guarding Britney, cult member Finley Pearson, who was a conspiracy theorist before he joined the cult, tried breaking into Britney's house several times to get pictures of her sleeping. However, Tavell was there to thwart every attempt. Tavell's own brother, secret agent Tycen Joyner was certain that Tavell was brainwashed by the cult Eden's Children and was trying to manipulate him into sharing information about his life as a secret agent. Cult leader Samuel Seed was also trying to convince Tavell to join his cult and clean himself of all his sins, but Tavell constantly refused. Model Arabella Roberts wanted Tavell to guard her, but he refused, choosing to guard Britney because she paid a dollar more instead. Tavell also tried to get information from cult member Jay Seed and attempted to kidnap him in order to get this information about the cult, since if he kidnapped Samuel, everyone would notice.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Arabella.

Upon admitting to the murder, Arabella said that she killed Tavell because he was spying on the cult and tried to gather evidence to get them arrested. She says she couldn't let him do that, especially after seeing him try to kidnap one of the members to question them. She says she was chosen to take care of this wandering soul and make him see the right path.

Judge Palin sentenced Arabella to life imprisonment.
