The Knife 2.0

Several Years Ago, In A New York Alleyway

Rain is falling. A gunshot is heard. Running footsteps echo off the wet walls. Police sirens ring off in the far distance as Chef Knox, the longtime chef made famous from his cooking show Cooking with Chef Knox, is killed. No one knows who or why Chef Knox is killed. The only clue that is left at the scene is a knife, a booklet, and a clay necklace with the initials B.K.L. The crime scene baffles police until they receive a tip later that week from an anonymous person, stating that all signs pointed to Chef Knox's stepson, Marvin, who was envious of his stepfather's fame and wanted to 'defame' him from it. There were a couple trials going around until all the cases of it were dropped and chef was laid peacefully in a cemetery and it was all forgotten.

Until now.

The Present

Even though Chef Knox has been gone, the restaurant he stated has not dulled it's blade, so to speak. The stepson, Marvin, runs it as the owner. He's called the Dictator Knox for his cruel manners over the workers and the costumers. Most of the time, Marvin doesn't raise a finger to help around the restaurant and when he does, it is mostly in the form of yelling or criticizing how something is done/should be done. Most of the employees have quit while those that are still around are somewhat teetering on leaving. It isn't until late October that nearly half the staff left the restaurant.

Days go by without any much hassle. The same thing keeps happening. People come in, eat, and then leave. It almost bores the remaining staff. Until one day. It's mid-March when a waitress finds the head cook, Dennis, with fifteen stab wounds in his chest. The restaurant soon becomes a boiling pot of conspiracy and backstabbings.

As the restaurant is closing, there are clues as to what has happened. Is whoever that killed Dennis, the same person who killed Chef Knox those years ago? As secrets come into the spotlight, anything is possible.

Characters

Whoever you may be, you have some part of this crime. The police commission doesn't like asking every single person on the street what happens so he narrows it down to those present in the restaurant. The following are up for grabs:

Waitress 1:
Waitress 2:
Waitress 3:
Waiter 1:
Waiter 2:
Waiter 3:
Second Chef:
Dishwasher:
Visitor 1:
Visitor 2:
Visitor 3:
Marvin Knox: Steggy

There can only be one killer but who might it be? And why did they kill Dennis? Was it blackmail or something greater?

Other Things

As the creator of this storybook, I know who killed Dennis and Chef Knox. Along the way there'll be clues as to who did what and why. As of right now, we're just going to introduce our characters until the good stuff happens. Below will be the clues I post later on:
