## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Instant Regrets

Chachi was first spoken to when he entered Dhar Cochran's studio right after Giles Davis and the player found his body. We asked Chachi if he knew Dhar and he said that he didn't. Chachi just said that he came because the leader of his gang, The Blades, told him to.

Chachi was interrogated again when tech expert Lillian Henrich found a text on Dhar's phone from Chachi saying that he was going to beat him up as revenge. We ask Chachi what he meant by this text, and he said that he originally came to the studio to kill Dhar for ruining his life. The duo asks him to elaborate, and he tells us that he got straight A's in school until he became roommates with Dhar in college. Chachi said that although he tried to focus on academics, Dhar kept forcing him to drink and party, causing Chachi to fail all his classes and drop out of college, forcing him into the gangster lifestyle which he tried so hard to avoid.

Chachi was found to be innocent after the team arrested artist Sonja Gonzalez for Dhar's murder.

### Shards of Rage

Chachi was first spoken to when detective Connor Stout and the player found Herold Gibbs' invitation for his party. When we asked Chachi about Herold's party, he said that he's enjoying it so far and that Herold said he had something very special planned up his sleeve. We then told Chachi that Herold was found murdered in his dining room and his jaws dropped.

Chachi was spoken to again after Blades member Gerard Whitfield told Connor and the player that Chachi started a rumor about Herold wanting to kill the Blades' leader and take over. We asked Chachi about this rumor, and he told us that Herold has been acting unusually kind to their leader lately and he found it suspicious. However, one night, they were all at a party and Mason Mills' drink was poisoned, which put him in the hospital where he almost died. Although Chachi suspected Herold was behind it, every other Blades member blamed it on the Chinese.

In the end, it was revealed that Chachi was Herold's killer. Upon admitting to the murder, Chachi said that the rumors he spread were true and he overheard Herold telling a prostitute that he was going to poison Mason's wine and take his place as the new Blades leader. Chachi, who was fiercely loyal to Mason, couldn't let that happen, so he waited for Herold to be alone in the kitchen and grabbed an empty bottle which he used to smash his head in.

Judge Palin sentenced Chachi to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole in Emerald City prison.

### Earl Grave

Chachi was later mentioned after it was revealed by judge Tanya Palin that he escaped from prison.

### Turn On The Heat

Chachi was interrogated again after Connor and the player found him hiding in a subway. We told Chachi that Blades leader Mason Mills was found burnt to a crisp and he told us he knew nothing about it. We decided to take Chachi back into custody where an extra fifteen years was added to his sentence for his attempt to escape.

Chachi was spoken to again after the team found a sketch called "PLANS TO KILL MASON." After sending the sketch to profiler Jake "TJ" Goss, he was able to deduce that it was Chachi who drew the sketch. We interrogated Chachi about it and he told us that Mason constantly made fun of him for several things, such as being a "stereotypical gang member." Chachi said that Dhar and Mason forced him into becoming a gang member and he wanted to kill Mason because of the way he ruined his life. We told him that we were confused since he killed Herold to protect Mason, but Chachi said that he really killed Herold to gain Mason's trust enough to kill him himself.

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

After Laszlo was sent to the hospital due to a heart attack, we decided that we wanted to interrogate Chachi about the Blades more, only to find that he hung himself in his cell. We realized he left a note on his bed that explained that he killed himself because he couldn't live with the fact that him and Mason got into a car crash that killed his son. We took Chachi's body out of the premises and held a funeral for him.
