## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Blades Striking Blades

After detective Giles Davis and the player went back to the station to go over all their leads in Larriel Stevenson's murder, Harry ran into the station, crying. We asked him what was wrong, and he said that he just learned that Larriel died. We asked him if he knew her, and he said that she was her drinking buddy and that they met up at the bar every day to talk and discuss things that were happening in their life. We realized that Harry was drunk so we told him to stay at the bar and had beat cop Leslie Price watch over him to make sure he doesn't leave.

Harry was spoken to again when coroner Sullivan Acker found a note in Larriel's pocket, saying "You ruined my life and you're going to pay for it, Larriel! -Harry." We immediately rushed to the bar where Harry was trying to escape and we asked him why he lied to us and he told us that in the beginning, Larriel was incredibly nice to him, but over time, she started making him more and more addicted to drinking cocktails and got him drunk all the time. Immediately after Harry realized that he had a problem, Larriel stopped going to the bar for a few weeks. Harry said that Larriel ruined his life and she paid the price for it. We then have Leslie escort Harry to a cell to make sure he didn't try to leave in case he did kill Larriel.

Although he was the primary suspect throughout the investigation, Harry turned out to be innocent when the team arrested bar owner Arvin Rowland for Larriel's murder.

### Earl Grave

Harry was first spoken to when we found his glasses on one of the tables next to tea house worker Susan Min's body. We decided to interrogate Harry and he told us that after Larriel died, he's been able to stop drinking wine and beer and started drinking tea. He told us that he even managed to get a job as a painter and that he painted the inside and outside of the tea house. He said that Susan recommended him to her boss, Chinese mob leader Yuan Zedong, and that he immediately hired him.

Harry was interrogated again after Giles and the player found Susan's phone which had several apology texts written to Harry. When we asked Harry about this, he told us that Susan accidentally tripped and fell one day, making one of the tea cups fall on the wall, staining it. This took Harry a week to clean up. Susan felt horrible for this so she kept sending him apology text after apology text begging for forgiveness.

Harry was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Chinese mob member Liang Shun for Susan's murder.

### What Can I Get You?

Harry was spoken to again after detective Connor Stout and the player found his coffee mug at the table behind the table where cafe waitress Stéphanie Beaufort was murdered. When we asked Harry if he was recently at the cafe, he told us that he just left to walk back to his apartment. We told him that a waitress named Stéphanie was recently poisoned there and we asked him if he knew anything about it. However, Harry said that he didn't know any waitress named Stéphanie and that he needed to get some sleep.

Harry was spoken to again after Connor and the player found a copy of the Emerald Daily newspaper he owned with a message on it, saying, "Stop harassing me, Stéphanie!" After we sent the letter to profiler Jake "TJ" Goss, we were able to confirm that Harry wrote the letter. When we asked Harry about this, he told us that Stéphanie constantly harassed him and always touched him inappropriately. When Harry told her he wasn't interested in her, Stéphanie started making social media accounts and used them to start rumors about him and lost his reputation.

Harry was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated the Stéphanie's father, Mainfred Beaufort, for her murder.

### A Stressful Day

Harry was questioned again after Connor and the player found a flyer to join Eden's Children with his fingerprints on them. When we asked Harry about this, he told us that he found a new home in Eden's Children and that he wouldn't leave it for anything. He then told us that we should join the cult too and that they're only getting more and more powerful every second. Harry then said that their leader, Samuel Seed, will show everyone the way and enlighten the entirety of Emerald City in order to save our fates from eternal torture and hellfire in the afterlife.

Harry was interrogated again after the team found security footage of him and cult member Elin Dominguez beating up the late cult member Emory Rutledge for refusing to bow down to Samuel. When we interrogated Samuel about this, he said he didn't care and that Emory would bow down to him sooner or later, but just like Elin, Harry was infuriated by this and said that Emory deserved to die. We then told Harry that what he just said was an interesting choice of words considering Emory was just murdered and that he has to watch out.

In the end, it was revealed that Harry was Emory's killer.

Upon admitting to the murder, Harry said that he killed Emory because he was disloyal to them and he was disrespectful towards Samuel. He said killing Emory was his ticket to Eden's Children, and he's proud he was brave enough to fulfill God's wish and clear their group from a sinner. He says prison won't stop him from connecting with them spiritually.

Judge Palin sentenced Harry to 25 years in prison.

After Harry's arrest, the team put two and two together and realized that he was brainwashed into joining the cult and believing what he believes about everyone who doesn't kneel before Samuel deserving to die. We realized that The Saviors might have something to do with this, but we can't be sure.
