## Events of Stories Uncaged

### May the Old Hag Rest

Vasco became a suspect after the team found his briefcase near the crime scene, with the mob insignia on it. Vasco admitted his involvement with the Italian mob, before explaining Adelasia was a member of theirs too who just retired due to old age. Vasco also explained the reason the mob arrived at Emerald City is to sow an industry and take care of this Saviors thing. When we declared him as a suspect, he was not happy and threatens the police, before going to find Adelasia's killer on his own because they're going to pay.

Vasco was interrogated once more after he had written a threat in Italian to Adelasia, saying "You're not the boss anymore, Guidone!". Vasco explained Adelasia used to be the boss in the mob, and Vasco was a mere henchman, and she used to dictate him a lot, even by the smallest things. Even after retirement, she still orders him around, with Vasco obeying because he can't do anything with the current boss running around, who had a close relationship with Adelasia. Vasco was glad Adelasia is gone because he is free from the shackles, but still expressed anger at the killer and is on the way to hunt them.

Vasco was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated retired man Rick Norton for Adelasia's murder.

### A Deadly Escort

Vasco became a suspect after he arrived at the crime scene, laughing at Rick's demise, calling it karma. When we suspected he may do the deed, Vasco denies it, saying he happens to dine with his boss, The Poet. We then asked what's his boss' name, before he revealed his name to be Niceforo Peirano, and he's nearby, seeking the police for further discussion about the Saviors.

Vasco was interrogated once again after the team discovered his plans, with killing Rick as his priority. We then pressured him to confess, but he chuckles, saying mere plans do not make him guilty, and said he does not take down enemies with sniper rifles, but a simple handgun would do the job. Vasco explained Rick used to taunt him during his transfer to prison in court, mocking at how Adelasia choked on poison, thus angering him.

Vasco was found to be innocent after journalist and Savior member Xander Dumass turned to be Rick's assailant and the one behind the nickname **Pegasus**.

## Murder Details

Vasco was found with his head missing, possibly gone due to the explosion. Sullivan said Vasco may have consumed the bomb since some of the residues from the bomb are coated with patty juices, usually from hamburgers. Sullivan also found traces of mozzarella cheese and pepperoni on the victim's tie, which came from pizza. Vasco didn't consume any pizzas at that time, meaning it came from the killer.

## Relationship with suspects

Vasco worked under mob boss Niceforo Peirano's order, but Niceforo described Vasco to be disloyal these days, by not obeying his orders properly and believed Vasco may betray him soon. Vasco was friends with popstar Teshima Satoshi, even giving him weapons for him to protect himself. CEO Samuel Williams was caught by Vasco beating a worker for mocking him for being fat, but Samuel bribed him to be silent because he didn't want a scandal to rise. Vasco often visited the strip club to meet with harlot Sabrina Cooley, but one time he went rough with her on their private sessions, angering her. DJ Sergio Ganacci banned Vasco from entering his venue, because of his hatred against the mob for slaying his best friend after he was not being cooperative during a brutal interrogation.

## Killer and motives

The killer turned out to be Sabrina.

Sabrina says it was easy to earn Vasco's trust by frequently attending his "private sessions" and doing what he wanted her to do. She came to the strip club every time Vasco was there so he would trust her enough to eat the hamburger she gave him. She says the Italians will soon know what they stuck their nose into, if not now.
