## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Price Drop

Gary was first interrogated after detective Giles Davis and the player found his tablet in one of sales manager Peter Cervantes' stores. He explained that Peter hired him to create designs for some of his companies. Gary said that Peter was a good man and a respectable boss and that he truly appreciated working under him.

Gary was questioned again after the team discovered a resignation paper with Gary's name on it. When asked about this, he confirmed that Peter wanted him gone from his company after learning Gary was gay, and he often shunned him for it. Gary told the detectives that all of his co-workers were shocked at Peter's homophobia, and although not wanting to wish death upon anyone, he was glad Peter got what's coming for his bigotry.

Gary was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated social media influencer Leonie Köhler for Peter's murder.

### A Stressful Day

Gary was later interrogated after detective Connor Stout and the player found his watch outside of cult leader Samuel Seed's house. When we asked Gary about this, he told us that he was constantly being bothered by several members of Eden's Children, a rapidly-growing cult in Emerald City. When we told Gary that one of the cult's members was murdered, he acted shocked and told us he didn't know them.

Gary was interrogated again after the team found a letter he wrote to the late cult member Emory Rutledge, saying, "Leave me alone, Emory! I don't want to join your cult!" After sending the paper to profiler Jake "TJ" Goss who managed to confirm that the handwriting was Gary's, we decided to pay him another visit. When we asked Gary about this, he apologized for lying to us and said that Emory was the main one bothering him and begging him to join. Gary said that Emory was one of his classmates in art school and that the two got along well before Emory dropped out and joined Eden's Children. Gary said that ever since then he's had to deal with Emory coming to his door every day and begging him to join Eden's Children to "save his fate." Gary kept telling him to leave and that the cult he was in was ridiculous but no matter how hard he tried, Emory just kept coming back. Gary said that this wasn't enough to kill over, however, and that he'd rather have Emory annoy him every day than find out that he's dead.

Gary was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated cult member and painter Harry Baird for Emory's murder.

### Based on a True Story

Gary became a suspect for the third time after the team found a script belonging to him. He greeted the detectives, before saying he happen to get the role of a rookie policeman after being spotted by Kasper in the streets. He thanked Kasper for the new experience, but when we told him about his murder, he was sad that the movie may end.

Gary was queried again after the detectives found a hat with the victim's blood and Gary's DNA on it per Brianna's analysis. Gary said he was angry at Kasper for badmouthing his country and being xenophobic overall next to his face, saying how Panama was a "shithole with a bunch of morons living there", not even knowing Gary was a native there. Angered, Gary then told Kasper he got offended, but Kasper laughed and began to mock Gary after knowing where he's from, prompting Gary to land a swift punch to Kasper. Kasper then threatened to call the police and sent him back to deportation for the attack, in which Gary got scared and apologized.

Gary was found to be innocent for the third time after the team incarcerated lead actress Laudine Babineaux for Kasper's murder.

### Holiday Kill

Gary became a suspect for the fourth time after the detectives discovered a drawing of an anthropomorphic horse dressed in a Christmas outfit at the karaoke room belonging to him. Gary was happy that the police arrived at the party until he realized the police had probably arrived on another murder investigation. When asked regarding Dylan, Gary said Dylan once commissioned a drawing of tax collector Juliet Craft in a scantily clad Christmas outfit as the mechanic took interest in her, which disgusts Gary as he did not accept a real-life person being drawn sexually without their consent. Gary ultimately rejected his offer since he had morals, which disappoints Dylan.

Gary was interrogated again regarding his broken tablet. Gary angrily said that after Dylan's drawing got rejected, he went so irate that he broke Gary's precious digital tablet used to draw things, making him lose all of his drawings stored in there. Aside from this, Gary also remembered two days ago at another party, Dylan had pranked him by sending a rigged jack in a box which enables smoke when opened, but the smoke is too much and Gary almost got poisoned with carbon monoxide. Gary's abruptly sighed, became unhappy that the Christmas he aspired turned out to be terrible thanks to Dylan.

Gary was found to be innocent for the fourth time after the team incarcerated tax collector Juliet Craft for Dylan's murder.
