## Events of Stories Uncaged

### Taste The Blades

Simon became a suspect when his involvement with the Blades was revealed after finding crates of weapons issued to the gang belonging to him. When asked about it, he said he wanted to work with the Blades well as not many would accept his deals due to his violent behavior. When questioned about the murder, however, Simon coldly lighted his cigarette and refused to give single compassion, before leaving the scene.

Simon was suspected once again when Lillian unlocked security footage of Simon taking off a package and was hit with an exploding firework that came out. When asked about it, Simon angrily accused Gerard as the culprit, calling him a "sly bastard" after he had sent the packages of the fireworks to warn him as he believed the weapons were fake. After being asked whether he would kill as revenge, he chuckled, wishing he could but that would be a waste of time getting rid of a "pig" he barely cared.

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

After Nedaara's arrest, we found out more about an organization called "The Saviors" who hack into several companies, such as Nicholas Madigan's MirrorTech, who want to free the world from corruption. After we went to their base, we saw Simon and a hooded figure counting money. However, after Giles and the player see them, the hooded figure runs away and leaves Simon, who aims his gun at Giles. We tell him to put his gun down and he shoots Giles in the shoulder, before Giles shoots back and hits him in the chest, causing him to collapse. We then rush over to Simon's body and we realize that he still has a pulse, so we take him to the hospital.

## Murder Details

Simon was shot in the forehead in his hacker headquarters. Sullivan told the team that Simon died around five minutes before we found his body, so his killer couldn't have gotten far. Sullivan then told the us that there was a small sample of saliva on Simon's fist where he must have punched his killer before the killer struck back. Sullivan said that the sample was too small to get an exact DNA match, but he found nut molecules in the saliva. Since Simon had a nut allergy, Sullivan said he managed to deduce that the killer eats nuts.

## Relationship with Suspects

Before becoming a weapons dealer, Simon was a professional hitman who bombed several of entrepreneur Yazid Shams' business buildings, injuring him and killing several of his friends and colleagues. Simon also ran over and killed actor Donnell Watson's teenage brother in an attempt to get away from the police in a heist. Because he was such a menace to society, Simon was one of the main people on Russian assassin Scarface's hit-list. Simon also managed to escape prison once, and after he escaped, he gassed the entire prison, killing beat cop David Steele's father and older brother. Ever since then, David said that his main goal in life was to find and arrest Simon to get revenge on everything he did to his family. Simon also belittled and harassed Chinese mob member Xie Chun for being Chinese and told him that a Chinese man wouldn't get anywhere in today's times.

## Killer and Motives

The killer turned out to be David.

Upon admitting to the murder, David said that h3 killed Simon because he refused to give him his cut after a successful money grab, and wanted to report him to the police for being a part of The Saviors. When he heard about Simon's escape, David knew he would run to the hacker central, so he went there to confront Simon about his money but Simon tried to run away and David couldn't let him escape with his secret.

Judge Palin sentenced David to life imprisonment without the possibility for parole.
