Sweet Death

Sweeter Than Most Things...

Sweet Death is the 7th case in The Origins and the 2nd case to occur in the Western Canadian Region.

## Plot

After the events of Catch of the Century, Max Snowcone and the player head to Donkard's Chocolate Factory to save William Donkard from JUSTICE, who wants him dead. We get to Donkard's chocolate factory and find the dead body of Allison Fraser, a famous news reporter, who was drowned to death with chocolate. In her hand, we find a note that says "Make sure you record everything, Andrew!" We go around the factory looking for an Andrew, who turns out to be at the crime scene. His name is Andrew Shirley and he's the victim's cameraman. When we ask Andrew about Allison's death, he says that Allison was a good boss and that he has no idea who could've killed her. We later find a top-hat on the crime scene, which belongs to William. When we meet William, he thanks us for his hat and sounds surprised about Allison's death. We also find a chocolate molding tool, used by one of the factory workers. After Sandra Davis analyzed the tool, she told Max and the player that the DNA sample given to her matched one of the factory workers, Tanner Hayden. When we ask Tanner about Allison, he says that Allison often came to the factory, as she adored chocolate and always wanted to get some for her and her news crew. Later in the factory's backyard, we found a cigarette, whose DNA matched Ronda Warner's. When we ask Ronda about her cigarette, she said that she often smoked near the chocolate factory while she watched her favorite brand of chocolate be made through the open door. She said she also was starting to have a crush on Tanner. When we tell her Allison was dead, she said that Allison once recorded her smoking in the chocolate factory's backyard. Ronda explained how that was private property, but how it was one of her favorite places to smoke. Also in the backyard of the factory, were small, but a lot of chocolate crumbs, all belonging to one of Allison's colleagues, Jason Spokesman. When we ask Jason about the leftover crumbs, he says that Allison always snuck him her chocolate, as she was going on a diet. She made it look like she was taking them for herself, when in reality they all went to Jason. We then find a resignation letter from Tanner to William. When we ask Tanner about him wanting to leave his job, Tanner said that he didn't like William as a boss, and that he wanted to leave to find a better job, and he also mentioned something about William having a super dark secret. When we ask William about his relationship with Tanner, he said that he treated Tanner well, and that he figured out that William had done some crimes in the past and was arrested for them. Tanner didn't want to work for an ex-con, so he left. Later on, we find a note attached to the wall of the factory's backyard. It said "Get out, smoker!" Max and the player immediately knew that the smoker the person in the letter was referring to was Ronda. When we ask Ronda the letter, she said that it was given to her by Allison, who hated people smoking near the chocolate factory. She recorded Ronda because she wanted to report it to the police, but she was killed before she could do that. When Max tells Ronda how coincidental that is, Ronda says "Oh dearie, that would be a dumb reason to kill someone, just because I can't smoke in a certain place, isn't it?" We later speak to Andrew again, as he spent the most time with Allison. He said that Allison wanted him replaced because he didn't do a good job filming her. Andrew didn't want to lose his job and he didn't want Allison to ruin his life for him. We later investigate the Garage Museum once again, and we find a pair of underwear that belongs to Jason but also had Allison's DNA on it. When we ask Jason about what's going on, he said that he made out with Allison once unprotected and accidentally got her pregnant.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be Tanner.

Upon admitting to the murder, Tanner said that Allison and Andrew were filming a report about Donkard's chocolate factory, when Allison caught Tanner pouring gasoline into the chocolate river, as he hated William and wanted him to go bankrupt. Allison wanted to show Tanner pouring the gasoline on TV, and since Andrew wasn't on the scene at the time, Tanner killed Allison.

Judge Virgo sentenced Tanner to life in prison.

## Additional Investigation

After Tanner's arrest, we take William to safety, where JUSTICE can't harm him and interrogate him on his past life. He tells us that when he was 19, he got super drunk and ran over a kid, killing him. He served his 7 years in prison and he says that it scarred him for life, running over a kid. William also said that this is what Tanner found out and made him want to leave. We speak again to Callum Fisher, an ally of JUSTICE, who's now willing to talk and share some information. He says that JUSTICE's next target is Fort McMurray, one of the biggest military bases in Canada. We hurry there next, bringing William along with us.
