==Plot==
In Belize City, there had been high police raid due to high crime. In the station, Manuel was sad and Braxton looks and says "Still sad about that". Manuel says it’s nothing and we go off. We go to take a stroll and we hear a gunshot from nearby, following it we go there and see some body, and when we see it, our soul left our body, the victim was none other than Amalia, she had been shot in the head, it was a sad day for us because Amalia was working with us, and became part of us. Disheartened, we send the body for autopsy, we also found out that earlier today Brandon had met with Amalia just here in Belize City, suspicious we interrogate him what exactly he wanted from her. Brandon begins to tell us that how Joseph Ainsworth threatened him, he tells us even after his demise, he was getting threats from the higher legion, claiming the house he lives has one of their important things, he said he had no idea what they were talking about so, he seemed helped from Amalia who was a skilled detective. After that, we go the station where Amaya says that she is said that Amalia is dead, could have been Elaine in her place, Manuel sighs and why would she say that, Amaya replies with "Silly, I wanna see you and Froy together", to which he blushes. After that, Felix comes to us, he says he heard about Amalia's murder, he tells us that it's probably the higher legion who got her killed, but he can't just blame them right away, but says that her murderer would serve justice.
At the station, we were still about the fact that Amalia was murdered, later Braxton tells us that Amalia had been contacting Dae-Hyun a lot recently, and we now wanted to talk to him, Dae-Hyun tells us that Amalia had been trying to get him out from this madness, but it's impossible since the higher legion had people everywhere, and he couldn't leave until he had let them earn 1.5 million dollars, Dae-Hyun then puts his head on Manuel's shoulder and says he wants to escape from this, and Manuel assures him he would. After that, Manuel says his heart breaks seeing Dae-Hyun like that, Floramaria approaches us she tells us that Amalia might be the person we know about. 
Mid-investigation, Floramaria tells us that Pavati told her that ten years ago Amalia was involved in a crime, and now we should ask her about it. Pavati tells us that ten years ago, Amalia had filed a case against someone by the name of Amalia Belanger, Manuel listening to that completely had change of mood, he exclaimed it was his sister's name who disappeared, we ask her more she tells us Amalia accused her for taking her identity and filed case against her, but she never showed up, now Manuel started to doubt what possibly could have happened, Froy comes at the same time and says "You still mad at me Manu", to which he replies "Yes I am, you said to me we will go to watch a movie and spend some time but you didn’t", Froylan apologises and says he will after this case, and pats Manuel's shoulder. Amaya comes and asks him what happened, he tells us that Pavati told him about his sister being associated with Amalia and now he is thinking whether she is alive still. Lovisa breaks into the office, catching her breath, she tells us that she found out that the new movie is out, Manuel says "I literally thought it was something bad". After that, we search Amalia's purse and we find out Elaine's research board which was made by Amalia, suspicious now we interrogate her, Elaine says that Amalia found her suspicious and did all background check on her, Elaine twirls her hair and says "I guess she can't stand Froy is my darling", and smirks while seeing at Manuel, and he just rolls his eyes.
At the station, Manuel was sitting on the chair when something stung him, and he said "Fuck this shit", Amaya comes and says "Ohoo gotcha", Manuel says like a kid "What was that", both Lovisa and Amaya were giggling and Manuel look at leg and found a robot biting his leg, and he laughs out, Amaya says "Finally, cheer up, that’s better", Manuel then giggles too. While searching for other clues, we come across a marriage certificate between Brandon and Amalia, shocked we ask Brandon, he tells us that he and Amalia studied together and got married in 2025, but two years into their marriage, they decided to break off because their field of work caused them to not give time to each another but they still remained close, he says that he is saddened that she is dead, and now probably should arrange funeral for her. At the station, Braxton tells us that he found out that Dae-Hyun wanted Amalia to get Hayden out from the prison. We ask Dae-Hyun about it, he tells us he and Hayden wanted to escape from this madness, and the legion forbade to have any relationship, but he and Hayden fell for each other and started a secret relationship, but with him in jail he wanted Amalia to help him come out, but he knows it’s not possible, Manuel also expresses sadness. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Mary Ann comes to us, she tells us that Elaine is a liar.
Mid investigation, Mary Ann tells us that Elaine is a liar, she says that she came to her, saying that she has some confession, and told her that she wasn't as loyal to Froy as we thought. Manuel was surprised and he asks why would she, Mary Ann says that she told her about something, but it’s better we talk to her. We talk to Elaine and Manuel tries to get her talk, but she says Mary Ann is lying, telling us that Amalia told her to just break up with Froy, because she doesn’t deserve, she smirks and says "Oh look who is dead now heh". Manuel was surprised and he talks to Amaya and she says "I knew that girl had something fake in her, Manu we should tell Froy about her fakeness" Manuel replies "But he will be sad", and Braxton replies "Won't be when he has you", but Manuel shrugs off again and we continue to investigate. He later takes out a gum and starts to chew it, until the girl he talked to in Mexico arrives at the station, he blushes and looks at her and she says he was here, and at the same time Amaya comes and says "Wait what are you doing here Alayna", she looks at Amaya and says "Wait what are you doing here", Manuel asks what happened and Amaya replies she was her sister, and Manuel says "Wait she told she has no family", and then he says they can’t be in a relationship, and then Amaya takes Alayna with her while Manuel says to himself that what a fool he is, and then says that he feels bad about that, but he still has someone else in his heart. Lovisa later comes and tells us that Froy is out of control and throwing things here, and Manuel then goes and says "What happened bro", and Froy tells us that Elaine told him she doesn’t love him that anymore, and Manuel hugs and consoles him. We later decide to the find the killer as soon as possible, as the higher legion was already a huge threat.
In the end, we had enough evidence to arrest Yang Dae-Hyun for the murder. Upon admitting, he says that he never meant to kill Amalia and he was doing his best to escape from this drug madness and the higher legion, he tells us that when Hayden went to jail after saving him, he made decision to leave it too, but the higher legion won’t leave him, saying that he should pay them $1 million dollar and then go, but he didn’t have that much money, so he seek Amalia's help, but somehow they found that that Amalia had been gathering information about them through him, so in order to keep them alive, they pressed him to expose everything about her, but he refused and then they begin to the sinister methods, and begin to abuse him, by beating his legs and abdomen with belt, and burning his abdomen and legs with boiling hot water, and also tied him with shackles, but he still refused to speak, but those members always wore blue masks, he said that they wanted their hegemony to continue for ages that's why he was forced at gun point to kill Amalia so no one would tell anything about them, he then says that earlier today, he could barely move but said that they were setting him free, but they took him to some remote place, and there the blue masked person told him to kill Amalia who was standing 8ft away, he kept refusing, but the blue mask put gun on his head, and he closed his eyes and shot Amalia in the head, and then he was forcibly taken back, though he had the guilt of what he had done.
Judge Kingston sentenced him to 10 years in prison. After the trial, Alayna comes to us saying that she doesn’t want to form a relationship but she and Manuel can be friends, to which he agrees. Later Felix comes to us, saying that the higher legion is keep threatening him but he shut them up, but he tells us that we really should figure out the name, but tells us that it has the word "Azul" meaning blue, judging by Dae-Hyun's observation, Manuel tells Felix to be under our protection, but he says he is alright. Amaya then calls us over saying that Froy and Elaine were gonna have some talk and called us, we went there and Elaine tells him that she was just joking with him, because everyone was accusing and she was stressed and Froy believes her and Amaya says "She is manipulating you, why don’t you understand" Froy looks at them, and says he will go off with her, and Manuel says "Bitch you promised to me that’s not fair", but Froy he wanna go off with Elaine, and Braxton and Lovisa says he should keep his promise, but they leave and Amaya says "Fuck them both, anyhow let’s play some game". The four decide to play UNO, and laughing when Braxton was about to lose, he tries to get away but Lovisa says "Not like that little, you gotta give us a treat", Braxton looks at Manuel "I will only give to you" but Lovisa and Amaya weren’t buying it and Braxton had to give them a treat. While they were at a food stall, some woman looked at Manuel and then went off, Amaya asked Manuel who was it, and he says he doesn’t know, and they continue eating the food and all of them were making Braxton go broke.
While we return at the department, Floramaria and Mary Ann were discussing that Froylan and Elaine haven’t returned yet and they have to attend a conference with the head of department to which we all members were invited, at the same time they return back and Lovisa looks at them and says "No shit, what did you guys do" Froylan tells them they had some "fun" together and then we all decide to go the conference, dressing in all formal clothing, Amaya looks at Manuel's suit and says "Looking hot today eh, but Froy isn’t going though", Manuel says we all are just exaggerating, he and Froy are just close friends. At the conference, we talked about our more challenges. While we return to the department, Felix tells us that there is a motorcycle gang in Guatemala, who basically create terror by fist fighting and arson, and it’s where we should go next.
