We Slowly Drove



We Slowly Drove (Case #7) is the seventh fanmade case as well as being the second case in the Verdant Meadows district and the seventh case in Bluehaven by CCFan32.

Case Background
With Chief Price's kidnapping and the Black Viper snake running loose, the Bluehaven Police Department issues a lookout for both the Chief and the snake. As Detective Patricia Bennett and the player were pondering where Chief Price might be, an automobile crashes inside the police station, causing a massive fire, prompting the team to investigate immediately. Luckily, no one inside the police station was harmed but a used car salesman named Peter Sneff, was found burning to death inside the car. After the firefighters put the massive fire to a halt, the team sent Peter's body off to Elizabeth for autopsy as they believe they should treat this as a murder.

Elizabeth confirmed that the brakes on Sneff's car was cut and oddly enough, the killer even fixed the car to make it go faster so that Sneff would lose control, verifying that this was a murder. During the investigation, the team finds a pair of wire cutters which were proven by Mark Delvecchio, to have been used to cut the brakes on the car. After finding the oil used to fix the victim's car and an oil-stained rag used by the killer, they were revealed to be a building tenant named Haley McAdams.

Peter and Haley were in a relationship for a short while because of Peter cheating on her with another man. Haley couldn't believe what happened and was glad Peter was out of his life. Unfortunately for Haley, she would often see him around the building the two live in. Haley couldn't stand whenever she was around Peter and hated the idea that she still lived in the same building with a bisexual man that she broke up with so she cut the brakes on Peter's car at the mechanics shop and fixed it so it would go faster since she already knew it was old and slow. After spilling oil on herself, she tried to clean it up to no avail, and she even tried to hide the oil she used. Haley was ready to be shipped off to court, but not before Patricia told her what a disgusting and vile creature she was.

In court, Haley revealed before the Honorable Kingsley that she despised the LGBT community and was discriminatory against them not to mention her thinking they should have no rights because they're "different" than others. This made the Honorable Kingsley furious as he believes everyone deserves rights and that what Haley did was extremely wrong, putrid, and unjustified. Judge Kingsley handed down a lifetime jail sentence with a parole possibility for 35 years.

Several hours after Haley's incarceration, the team gets a complaint about the landlord of the tenement building, Ricky Wagstaff, having a dispute with a mechanic named Gregory Crane. After being informed of the details, the team encounters the organizer of the circus, Leslie Harper. She claims that her official document of the circus was gone due to the investigation and she believes her document is in her belongings when Junior Officer Michael Collins took them for investigation purposes.

The team managed to prove that Gregory Crane stole Ricky's car, thanks to Mark's forensic skills. After Gregory was fined and detained, Ricky wanted help and revealed that he was a clown at the circus for over 30 years and wants to relive the memories. After that, the team found Leslie's document and told her to put the annual circus on hold until the Black Viper snake is officially caught. After dealing with the issues, the player meets Chief Price's wife, Olivia Price, who takes her husband's position as chief until he is safe and sound.
