## Events of Tales From Greensin

### Chain Reaction

"Vladimir" became a suspect after Madeline and the player found his contract that states that he is Andrew's bodyguard. When the duo arrived at his house, "Vladimir" threatens the team to stay back or he'll shoot, mistaking them as common trespassers, but after the duo revealed themselves to be police officers, "Vladimir" still kicked them out of Andrew's property, and refused to talk.

"Vladimir" was interrogated once again after the team found his fingerprints on a garbage bin. Vladimir states that he was just doing his duties as Andrew's bodyguard by assisting him with tasks, as Andrew was paranoid to go outside of his home after receiving death threats. When Vladimir decided to take out the trash for Andrew, he came back inside only to find Andrew dead.

In the end, it was revealed that "Vladimir" was Andrew's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Vladimir revealed himself to be a hitman named Stephen Stone who was paid in a restaurant in Little Italy to get rid of Andrew. When the team grilled him even more, Vladimir only told them that the Italians are responsible for Andrew's death and that his life is worth more to him than telling the team anything else, but that he's hoping the fact he said it was the Italians will give him a shorter sentence.

"Stephen" was sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment with a chance of parole in 10 years.

After "Stephen" was arrested, Naomi and the player went to interrogate him more. "Stephen" said that he was a part of a hitman group hired by various wealthy people who want certain individuals taken care of. "Stephen" confessed that his organization is completely legal and that they even have the president's approval. "Stephen" said that Andrew deserved what was coming to him, as he was a rapist and a murderer. Andrew's money allowed him to get away with it, but the Italians didn't want Andrew to take over the district. "Stephen" claimed the Italians are not to be messed with and that the team needs to just leave them alone if they don't want to risk their lives.

After the team interrogated "Stephen," Pat and the player decided to call Arthur Kirkpatrick, Pat's uncle. When asked about the hitman group, Arthur told the duo that the hitman group is incredibly efficient and has been working for over a decade. Arthur said he's certain that "Stephen" isn't actually "Vladimir's" real name and told the duo to ask the prison if he's still in his cell, before hanging up.

After Arthur's call, beat cop Shelby Hewitt confirmed that "Stephen" has escaped from prison.
