And So it Begins/Transcript

Annabel: So, you must be the new recruit. Well let me be the first to say welcome to the Warrenville Police Department.

Annabel: I'm Annabel Armstrong, the acting Chief of Police, and as you know the city officials depend on us to maintain peace in the city.

Annabel: Well, as least when I'm on duty, off duty I'd rather go and spend my time relaxing outside, but that's just me.

Annabel: Anyways, let me introduce you to your partners. One of them is off-duty today, but your other partner is here and ready to work.

Josiah: Hi, my name's Josiah Roman, I haven't been here long so I hope you and I can learn a few things while working.

Annabel: Anyways, let me introduce you to the rest of-

Luke: Chief Armstrong, Chief Armstrong, there's an emergency!

Annabel: Luke, what is it? I'm trying to introduce our newest homicide detective here!

Luke: That's the thing ma'am, we got an anonymous tip that someone was found dead in the middle of Downtown main street.

Luke: Oh, where are my manners? Luke Garvey, I'm a patrolman for the department, glad to be working with you  !

Annabel: Well, I guess I'll have to continue the formal introductions later. Josiah, you and  head down to the main street and find out what happened!

Josiah: You got it Chief, let's get going !

Chapter 1
Investigate Main Street

Josiah: Yeah, no question, that guy is dead.

Josiah: And given the apparent stab wound in the heart, I think its safe to assume we're looking at a murder here.

Josiah: Let's send our victim down to our coroner Daphne I think you'll like her, if you can get by her tough exterior.

Josiah: Glad to see you found our victim's wallet, maybe we can get an ID on our unknown victim here.

Josiah: But why are you looking at that trash can? You think there's something in it?

Josiah: Well, I know you're new, but I did hear you were pretty much one of the best in class. Okay, let's have a look through!

Autopsy Victim's Body

Examine Trash Can

Josiah: So we searched through a trash can to find some cloth. How does that help?

Josiah: Oh shoot, you're right! There's blood on it! I should've noticed it when you got it!

Josiah: But what's that other stain on it? Better send this to our forensic expert Victor, maybe he would know what this is.

Analyze Bloody Cloth

Examine Victim's Wallet

Josiah: Nice, good to see the victim still had his ID on him.

Josiah: According to this, our victim is one Wyatt Cross.

Josiah: And thanks to that business card you pulled out, we know he worked at the local grocery store Austex Food Mart.

Josiah: If our victim worked there, then maybe we can find out more about him. Let's make a stop to the market and see for ourselves!

Investigate Grocery Store

Josiah: Glad to see we're still on task here! Looks like Mr. Cross left his phone behind, let's unlock it and see what we can find.

Josiah: And it looks like someone left a name tag behind, you think its our victim's?

Josiah: I'll get your dusting kit so we can see for ourselves. And what about that computer?

Josiah: You think there's something on there? Well I don't see why I shouldn't say no, let's unlock that too while we're at it!

Examine Name Tag

Josiah: Nice, so the name on the tag reads Troy Wilcox.

Josiah: This Troy seems to be an employee here at the store, maybe he knew out victim?

Josiah: Only one way to find out, let's ask Mr. Wilcox ourselves!

Inform Troy of Wyatt's Murder

Josiah: Excuse me, Troy Wilcox? I'm Josiah Roman of the Warrenville Police Department. We're here investigating the murder of Wyatt Cross, who worked with you.

Troy: What? Wyatt's dead?

Troy: This is bad! We're expected to have a big sale next week and Wyatt was amazing at keeping crowds under control!

Josiah: Did you know Wyatt personally?

Troy: I wish I did, he seemed like a nice guy, and a great leader no question! Makes me wish he was the manager instead.

Troy: But I guess now he won't be getting that promotion.

Troy: I'd love to stay and chat officers, but I got to get things ready for our sale next week, and its better to start ahead of schedule.

Examine Computer

Josiah: Well, looks like there's a work schedule on the computer.

Josiah: Says here it is compiled by our victim and one Amber Goodwin.

Josiah: Amber must be the manager, we better ask her about her work with Wyatt.

Ask Amber about her relation to the victim

Amber: Hello, welcome to Austex Food Mart, how can I help you officers?

Josiah: Miss Goodwin, we're here to inform you your assistant manager Wyatt was found murdered earlier today.

Amber: What? That can't be! He said he would be on his way a few hours ago!

Josiah: Did you and the victim get along well?

Amber: It was sort of an off and on working relationship. I can tell he wanted my position, but who honestly wouldn't?

Amber: Through it all, we managed to work things out, I'd say we'd almost look like a couple.

Josiah: A... couple. Right...

Amber: If you need anything else officers, I'll be here working at the store. Its gonna be pretty hard without Wyatt here to keep things under control.

Examine Victim's Phone

Josiah: Well that was easy, you unlocked our victim's phone in no time.

Josiah: I don't know where to start looking through, but I know someone who would be more than happy to help.

Josiah: Marco, our tech guy, lives for this stuff. He'll see if there's anything important on this phone we should know about.
