🛑 YOU ARE NOT THE MURDERER.
But you might be one of the only people who can connect the final dots.
Additional Backstory:
Red used to keep an old lockbox hidden behind the bar — not money, but “sentimental things,” he said. After the funeral, you unlocked it using the hidden key tucked in the register. Inside was:
A list of initials: C.H., F.C., J.B., K.S., V.C.,
A torn newspaper clipping from 1965:
“Cave-In Death Toll Rises: Officials Refuse to Comment on Missing Miners”
And a strange coin. Heavy. Cold. Engraved with a symbol you’ve never seen before.
You’ve only shown the coin to one other person — they went pale and said:
“That’s not a coin. That’s a marker.”
New Motivation:
Figure out who else was on that list — and who’s trying to make sure it never sees the light of day. You’re in deep now, and you owe Red more than silence.
Clue You Possess:
The initials on the note match five people in the room. You recognize:
C.H. – Charlie Hargrove
F.C. – Felix Crane
J.B. – Jonah Briggs
K.S. – Kaleb Sutter
V.C. – Valerie Creed (CEO – not in the player list, but referenced)
You don’t know why they were listed… but Red clearly thought it mattered.
