All Roads Lead To Hell

Holy crap, this is not good.

**All Roads Lead To Hell** is the 28th case in The Origins, the 3rd case to occur in the Northeast Region, and the 365th case overall.

## ***Plot***

While back in Providence, the team got a tip from an ally of theirs, CDRA agent Ronda Warner, saying that The Summoners, a cult we've been chasing after, have a headquarters in Lewiston, Maine. The chief, Jessica Charles, decides to send Ursula Gemini and the player to the local church, where we find George Knight, an oil company CEO we met back in Virginia, dead. We investigate the church and find out that the only other person in the church is a Summoners member, Gus Washington, whom we also met back in Virginia. Since George was The Summoner's target back then, we take Gus to base and grill him immediately after. He tells the team that he saw George's body and decided to not do anything about it, as he was an enemy of theirs. We then put Gus in our custody, before finding an underground weapons compartment below the church. After taking all of the weapons out of the church, we find the head priest, Father O'donnell, who tells us he did not know about the weapons. We ask him if he knew George Knight, to which he replied that he saw George multiple times praying in the church, but that he has never interacted with him. We later recall George saying he had a daughter back in Virginia, so we head to his house and find his daughter, Sylvia Knight, watching the television. We tell Sylvia the disappointing news about her father's death, and she starts to cry. We decide to leave and come back in around an hour when her crying has stopped. Later on, we return to the church, only to find Pastor Lisus shocked by the sight of a church as an underground weapons storage. We ask him about it and he immediately accuses us of doing such an unholy act. We assure him it isn't us and tell him George Knight has been murdered in this church. Lisus acts shocked and says that he's leaving the church, as he says it was made by the devil to spy on god's creatures. Lisus then accidentally stepped on a button, which opened a part of the wall and revealed a storage room for gunpowder. We investigate the room and tell Lisus to stay where he is. He said that it would be against what god goes for to leave during an active murder investigation when he just revealed a crime scene, so he stays. In the gunpowder storage room, we find a lipstick smudge on one of the barrels. We send it to the team's lab chief, Sandra Davis, who tells us the DNA matched a suspect we met back in Alabama, paranormal writer Shauna Shaunthal. The duo found Shauna near the church and grills her about her lipstick smudge. Shauna then admits to buying a weapon down there. The team then asks her who dealt her the weapons. Shauna described someone looking identical to Gus, who we grill about the weapon dealing. He said that he dealt weapons to multiple people under the church, as it was a great disguise and nobody would check a church for weapons. We keep Gus in our custody and find a note from George saying "Sylvia, I'm so disappointed in you." We immediately talked to Sylvia, who says that she previously went to prison for a few years due to her dealing weapons. After she was released, George never talked to her again, calling her an embarrassment to the family and his reputation. Sylvia tried everything in her power to make it right with her father before he was murdered. As Sylvia said she dealt weapons. Since our investigation revolves around a weapons storage, where people were dealing weapons, we keep Sylvia in our custody until further notice. and since there is a weapons storage which we know people were dealing with weapons at, we keep Sylvia in our custody until further notice. We later find another note, with this one saying "I know what you did, O'donnell!" We immediately send the note to the team's profiler, Aaron Hall, who tells us that the handwriting perfectly matched George's. We then get Jade Thunderwall, the team's beat cop, to bring O'donnell to the station. He says that during his teenage years, he and a few other friends robbed a bank belonging to a friend of George, a famous banker named George Sorseman. O'donnell said that during prison, he found Christianity and became a priest as soon as he was released. He also said that he recognized George's daughter in prison, and that's how George knew who O'donnell was. We then discover that Lisus has run away from the crime scene where we told him to stay. We grill Lisus on where he was going and he said as far away from the church as possible. We demand Lisus stay at the crime scene or else it would mean going to jail. We then find a broken pair of glasses, which match Shauna's in the church's interior. We ask Shauna what happened, to which she replies that she tripped on the carpet, fell, and broke her glasses and that George made fun of her for it, as he was there praying. We make one more trip to the weapons storage and find the evidence needed to arrest the killer.

## ***Killer and Motive***

The killer turned out to be Father O'donnell.

Upon admitting to the murder, O'donnell admitted that the church is actually a hideout for The Summoners and that they use it as a weapons storage. O'donnell also said that he was the one who supplied them. They had a meeting with George as he wanted to buy weapons from O'donnell. After the trade, George planted a tracking device on the briefcase with the money, reporting the location to CDRA. They ordered the father to deal with him.

Judge Virgo sentenced Father O'donnell to life in prison.

## ***Cherry Patch, Duck Pond, Cash Register (3/5)***

We arrest O'donnell and ask him about his relationship with the Summoners. He says that he was forced into it, but soon he started to earn more and more money, he lost interest in his religion. He was just about to be accepted as a member, but he had to kill George. We then meet up with a former Summoners/JUSTICE member, Adeline Mann, who tells us that The Summoners needed the weapons because they're planning an attack in Albany, New York, and their main target is the New York State Capitol. We have no time to waste!
