Retainer - Laurel Keane
A quiet figure in Nashville’s digital forensics circles, Sawyer works off the books more than on them. Most of the department forgets he’s around until a broken phone starts giving up secrets or a surveillance drive comes back from the dead. A few years ago, he nearly got dragged under in an internal investigation—some kind of access log thing—but Keane cleared him. He doesn’t talk about it. He does the work. Keeps his hood up. Doesn’t look people in the eye unless he trusts them, which is rare.
💾 Local contract tech for NPD’s digital evidence team.
💾 Socially awkward but extremely competent in data recovery and forensic indexing.
💾 Rumor is he’s still under quiet review for something a few years back—no charges ever filed.
💾 Works best in isolation and responds faster to Keane’s texts than his supervisor’s.
