You run out of the room and head towards the back of the house hoping to find a back way out. At the end of the foyer is a glass sliding door that is already opened, whoever killed that man must have taken the same route. You dash outside and find yourself in the backyard. Still running at full speed you reach the chain-link fence surrounding the perimeter and are able to jump over it. As you jump you hear the sounds of sirens, the police have arrived at the house. You run across a few more yards before you feel you're a safe enough distance away and begin to walk back to the super market. You can only hope no one saw you enter or leave Steve's house.


After making your way back home, you head into your room and sit at your computer. You begin searching for the internet for clues on who murdered the man back in Steve's house. You search for "murder victims with W carved in them" and along with seeing several graphic photos, you learn it is the MO of a crime lord named "Westfield". Further searching and you find a web page explaining who this "Westfield" is:


Real name: Unknown


Alias: Westfield


Crimes believed to have committed or involved with: murder, human trafficking, drug trafficking, drug dealing, armed robbery, illegal gambling and extortion


Bio: Westfield runs a gang simply called "Westfield's gang", operates in several counties but base of operation is believed to be in Van Hove. One of the gang's most famous MO's is carving a "W" on the body of people murder by them. Due to real name and appearance being unknown, rumors of West actually being several people have circulated along with rumors that several high ranking members of the Van Hove police are on Westfield's payroll, hence the lack of progress on catching or even identifying the crime lord. Van Hove Police have denied these allegations and internal investigations have turned up no evidence.


You turn off the computer. While the details aren't clear you know that Westfield is connected to your sister's disappearance. Calling the police would be the most logical choice, but if the rumors about some of them on Westfield's payroll are true, you could put yourself and Victoria in danger. A second option is to do an independent investigation, Victoria used to have a friend named Sophie Glass, their friendship ended when Sophie developed a drug problem and got involved in the seedy underworld where Westfield would reside. It's extremely dangerous, but being under the police's radar might save Victoria.

You go see Sophie

The police can't be trusted, so it seems your only hope is a former drug addict. Even if Sophia is reliable you still have no idea how you're going to rescue your sister from the most wanted man in town. First thing however is finding where your sister is and then taking it from there. You remember when Victoria and Sophia were friends, they would hang out at Sophia's place at the Fuhrman Apartment Complex and as far as you knew she still lives there. You grab your car keys and head off to see her. Night is threatening to fall as you arrive at the apartment building. You head to the entrance and read the names on the intercom. One says "Unit 102: S.Glass", it looks Sophia still does live here and you push the intercom button.


"Yeah?" A groggy voice greets.


"Sophia, it's me Ben" You tell her.


"Ben who?"


"Ben Higgins, Victoria's brother"


"Oh, Ben, hang on a sec I'll let you in"


A second later you hear a buzzing sound and you enter the building. After walking up a set of stairs you reach apartment 102 and knock on the door. The door opens and you see Sophia standing in the doorway, she is around your age, but bags under eyes and lines on her face made her look older.


"Ben so good to see you, please come in" Sophia greets.


You walk into the small apartment and follow Sophia to sitting area in the back. There are two stuffed chairs across from each other that were once green but had faded badly and each had a few stains.


"Please have a seat," Sophia requests while pointing at one of the chairs. 


You sit down one of the chairs while Sophia sits in the others.


"So what can I do for you Ben?"


"It's my sister Victoria, she's missing and I need your help in find her," You respond.


"I'm not sure how helpful I'll be, your sister and haven't spoken in years."


"I know she was taken by Westfield, because of your...past, I felt you'd know something,"


"You mean because I was a lowlife junkie, you thought I would have knowledge on other lowlifes."


"That's not what I meant."


"It sure as hell sounded like that's what you meant, and not only do you want information on any scumbag, you information on Westfield, the top dog, if you try to fuck with him he'll kill you and he'd kill me too for leading you to him."


"So you do know something."


"Why I should help you?"

You bribe Sophie

You pull out your wallet and take out all the money you have in it.


"Look this all I have, it's yours if you tell me what you know," You offer.


"Do I look like some fucking whore?" Sofia angrily responds. "You don't talk to me for years and when you finally do, it's only because you want something, I think you should leave now."


You head out of Sophia's apartment feeling defeated, you always had trouble communicating with others and this visit was just another reminder of that. When you arrive back home, you decide to call the police. Despite the rumor of corruption you're out of options at this point. You take out your cell phone and call 911.


"911, what is your emergency?" The operator on the other end inquiries.


"My sister is missing and I think Westfield murdered her boyfriend" You answer.


"I need your name, sister's name and sister's boyfriend name"


"I'm Ben, Ben Higgins, my sister is Victoria Higgins and her boyfriend's name is Steve, I don't know his last name"


"What's your address?"


"219 Okonedo Street"


"Alright, I'm sending someone over"


Several minutes later a police car pulls into your driveway shortly followed by a knock at the door. You open the door to find a man in a police officer uniform with a buzz haircut.


"Hello I'm Sergeant Arthur Miller, are you Ben Higgins?" The police officer kindly asks.


"Yes I am, please come in," You respond.


As you turn around you hear the sound of a gun being cocked. You look behind you and see Sergeant Miller pointing his weapon at you. Without thinking you grab his hand to try to wrestle away the gun from him. During the struggle the gun goes off and the bullet goes through your abdomen, causing you go down to one knee.


"Fucking idiot," You hear the officer say as you collapse completely.
