## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Instant Regrets

After secretary Delila Nixx lets the team into the recreation room to help us solve Dhar Cochran's murder, we find a wine bottle to Dhar from Donnell. We find Donnell and realize that he was an actor for Dhar. We ask Donnell about how Dhar treated his actors, and Donnell said that Dhar was the best person he ever met, as he took him off the streets and out of his gang life in order to act for him and have a real job. We then decide to tell Donnell about Dhar's murder, and he begins to cry. He tells us that he needs to leave and get some fresh air, so we tell him to do so.

Donnell was interrogated again after beat cop Leslie Price said that she heard Dhar and Donnell arguing a few days ago. We ask Donnell about this argument, and he said that although he doesn't wish death on anybody, he wanted something unfortunate to happen to Dhar. We ask him to continue, and he tells us that in all Dhar's skits, Donnell is portrayed as the bad guy who everyone hates. Donnell said that in real life he isn't a bad guy at all and he asked Dhar if he could play a good guy role too, but Dhar screamed at him, saying that he looks like a bad guy and hence he can only be a bad guy. Dhar said that if Donnell wasn't happy with this he could leave his job and go back to the streets.

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

### Taste The Blades

Donnell was questioned after he had gifted a brand new handkerchief to Blades ember Gerard Whitfield, which he said he gave as a gift as the two often met at the gym and worked out together. When Donnell was informed that Gerard was dead, he was shocked, before putting his hand into his chest and closing his eyes. Donnell then said that he was sad that Gerard was dead and he wanted to pay his respects.

Donnell was questioned again after Giles and the player found a letter written from Donnell to Gerard, saying, "I told you, stop forcing me into this business!" Based on the stains which were analyzed by Brianna and Max, it was confirmed to be Donnell's handwriting. Donnell then told the detectives Gerard tried to recruit Donnell due to his physical size, but the latter refused as he wanted to live peacefully. When Gerard kept demanding, Donnell sent the letter. As the detectives assumed that he could've killed Gerard to stop pestering him, Donnell cleared things up that after the letter, Gerard never bothered him again and he stopped visiting the gym afterward to get away from him.

Donnell was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Blades leader Nedaara Townsend for Gerard's murder.

After arresting Nedaara, she told us where to find more information regarding The Saviors. When we ran to the location she told us about, which was Gerard's trophy room, but we found the entire building to be burnt down apart from a phone that belonged to Donnell. After tech expert Lillian Henrich identified the phone to be Donnell's, we decided to pay him a visit. Donnell then told us that he wanted to meet with Gerard to settle things between the two of them and that he probably lost his phone before leaving. After returning to the station, Lillian rushes to us and told us that she managed to track Donnell's past phone calls and found an anonymous number that leads to the MirrorTech building.

### System Shutdown

After arresting Saviors member Delila Nixx for killing MirrorTech software developer Nicolette Livingston, we check Nicolette's phone after we were told by Delila that she was a member of the Saviors as well and we found several calls between her and Donnell. We then checked Donnell's record and realized that he was indeed a member of the Saviors.

### Nowhere To Hide

Donnell was spoken to again after we found him at the hacker central with his hands up next to Saviors member Simon Sams' body. We told him that he was under arrest but then he tried to run away. However, Giles shot Donnell in the shoulder and he begun to stumble. We then brought Donnell to the interrogation room where we grilled him about Simon. Donnell said that he had nothing to do with Simon's murder and that he just walked into the room and saw Simon's corpse.

Donnell was interrogated again after profiler Jake "TJ" Goss showed the team one of the main things on Simon's record, which showed that he went to jail for a few years for running over and killing a 15-year-old Patrick Watson. We asked Donnell about this, and he told us that Patrick was his brother who Simon ran over and mercilessly killed while trying to get away from the police during a heist. Donnell said that after Simon joined the Saviors, Donnell begun to plan his revenge.

Donnell was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated beat cop David Steele for Simon's murder.

After David's arrest, we found out that the Saviors are starting a broadcast and that firemen are already at the scene. We decided to ask Donnell about this broadcast and he claimed to not know much about it at all. We didn't believe Donnell but we let him be regardless, as we ha bigger things to worry about.

### The Wrath of God

After finding former Blades leader Nedaara Townsend's corpse in the TV room where the Saviors planned to broadcast their brainwashing films, we immediately decide to ask Donnell about this, as he's the only living member of the Saviors who may be willing to talk. We grill Donnell about Nedaara's murder and he said he didn't know anything about the murder nor who Nedaara was. We decided to lock him up in our custody until he was willing to tell us the truth.

Donnell was interrogated again after we found his phone at the TV room and we realized he blocked Nedaara. After sending the phone to Lillian, she managed to tell us that Donnell blocked Nedaara because she told him that she was going to thwart the Saviors' plans regardless of what it would take to do so. When we asked Donnell about this, he said that he refused to tell us anything about Nedaara's murder. We knew we wouldn't get anything out of him so we left him to rot.

Donnell was found to be innocent after the team incarcerated Chinese mob leader Yuan Zedong for Nedaara's murder.

## Murder Details

Donnell was found with his face burnt severely in the abandoned factory. Sullivan commented Donnell may have a muscular complexion, but nothing stops you from dying no matter how strong you are. He explained Donnell died from cardiac arrest due to the intense pain, as Donnell is suffering from heart issues currently. Sullivan found traces of roasted peanuts on Donnell's legs, and Donnell hadn't consumed any recently, meaning it was left by the killer.

## Relationships with suspects

Despite being a member of the Saviors, Donnell did not quite do evil deeds in his life, but still managed to anger several people. Donnell angered Spencer Fleming when he refused to help Spencer be an actor, since Donnell found Spencer a bit shady. Furthermore, gold digger Lacey Edwards had dated Donnell shortly after her boyfriend Gerard Whitfield was killed, hoping to drain his cash for herself, but Donnell managed to see through and dumped her. CEO Samuel Williams banned Donnell from working on his companies after finding out Donnell worked for the Saviors. Donnell accidentally interrupted Russian monk Glukhov Rasputin's "ritual", which made the monk angry and made a voodoo of Donnell to torture on. Italian mobster Giuseppe Di Lorenzo tried to put a bullet on Donnell's head after learning his affiliation, in revenge for his friend Vasco Cascone, but Donnell managed to tackle him and leave.

## Killer and motives

The killer turned out to be Glukhov.

Glukhov says it was his job to assassinate the traitor, the mole, the cancer of the Saviors. He didn't know the guy, but his goal in life was always to fulfill God's plan, and that was to get rid of the pest trying to ruin this world, so it was an easy yes to the request they gave him.
