Meanwhile, Fatiha and the player talked to Sanford about the two sexy henchmen who are with Krampus, the serial killer the police found out about previously. After finding Sanford's picture of Krampus and that two female henchmen, Fatiha and the player were convinced by Adam to investigate further.
