## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Day at the Museum

Rick was one of the three seniors who became a suspect once the detectives found his name tag lying on the ground. When informed about the murder, Rick grumpily shrugged those off, saying he didn't give two heeds on any murder since he hated the trip in the first place, finding museums boring but he had to attend to get free food. Rick also said he disliked Donna, calling her a nuisance.

Rick was interrogated once again after the team found his bottle of champagne in Donna's bag. Rick then got irate, saying Donna confiscated his champagne due to his age as it could've been bad for his health, and she wanted the seniors to live long and healthy. Rick found that bullcrap and cursed at Donna for ruining his fun as he had to search through the district to buy a bottle of vintage champagne just to drink only to be taken.

Rick was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated retired woman Hilda Holland for the murder.

### No Deal, Just Kill

Rick was flagged as a suspect once again after he was spotted on the cameras dressing up as a staff member to the auction. Rick said he wanted to do a living dare for a while by sneaking into someplace with influential people, like the auction house who doesn't allow anyone above 60 to participate or enter.

Rick was questioned again after the victim had given him a knitting tool as a gift. Rick explained he lied about getting a dare, and snuck in to win an ancient rifle on the auction. Mateo spotted Rick in the presence and decided to pull a prank by giving him a knitting tool and telling him old men like him shouldn't be here and go back to knitting some wool for kids and baking cookies, basically mocking Rick as if he was just an old geezer. This angers Rick so bad he threw his champagne glass on Mateo, before leaving.

Rick was declared innocent for a second time after the team incarcerated Mateo's brother, social worker Tristan Mcdaniel for his murder.

### May the Old Hag Rest

Rick became a suspect for the third time after the team found Adelasia's love letter to Rick. Rick said Adelasia had a crush on him, but Rick wasn't interested in relationships after his wife had died from terminal colon cancer and the fact he and Adelasia were too old for romance. Rick rejected her, which pissed Adelasia that she gave him a middle finger and broke his precious stopwatch.

Rick was questioned again after a billiard ball with the words, "Your days are numbered" were planted on his food tray. Rick said Adelasia gave that on behalf of the Italian mob, all because when they were younger, Rick caught the Italian mafia boss executing a local priest for rejecting a member to be a congregation member. Adelasia, who was in there, was the first one who caught Rick and warned him when he reach the priest's age, which is 80 years old by that time, she will finish him on behalf of the mob. Those messages he received today were reminders, which gave him severe anxiety as a few months later it's his birthday. He was glad Adelasia died, so he could live long enough.

However, things turn when Rick was found guilty of Adelasia's murder. Rick says this murder was nothing personal, but the Italian mob hurt the Saviors in ways they shouldn't have and took something from them, so they paid them back by taking something from the Italians too.

## Murder details

Rick was found shot in the head after he was escorted out by high commissioner Oscar Yates. Sullivan determined the bullet instantly killed him as it penetrate through his brain, and based on the bullet, it belongs to a high caliber sniper. To shoot a high-caliber sniper from far away at a perfect angle shows that the killer is a sharpshooter.

## Relationship with suspects

Before Rick was arrested for murder, Rick had an interview with journalist Martin Rockefeller about the Saviors. When Martin said bad things about the group, Rick suspiciously defends them which makes Martin think that he is dangerous, so he canceled the interview and tried to contact the police. Rick also had a feud with the Italian mob after his crime, particularly mobster Vasco Cascone, whom he insulted by referencing Adelasia's death and calling him names. The Italian mob leader, Niceforo Peirano, arrives at the city and spoke to radio shows about wanting to wage war at the Saviors, even celebrating the victim's death. Oscar himself loathes Rick after the latter taunted him about being a pig. Journalist Xander Dumass never communicated with Rick, but he suspiciously bought the same sniper rifle that killed Rick.
