## Motive

Gustav revealed that he was actually cheating on all of his races by using the assassin's serum, increasing his speed and improving his eyesight. What he didn't know is that Alexander used the same tactic, which made them the only two contestants left. Gustav discovered everything when he saw Alexander injecting the serum, and he saw him, then starting to confront each other which led to their fight, before Gustav bashed his head against the wall, instantly killed him.

## Redville Anthologies V: Mountain Adventures (2/6)

After Gustav's arrest, and after discovering that Gustav was using the same serum that Matthew used, Clay becomes more eager to get to the bottom of this assassin project. Before assigning Jasper to locate the Collier family—and perhaps finding out where the project is done—Billy calls. From the hospital, he told us that Matt's condition is getting better, but he will still need a proper recovery. Meanwhile, on the other side of the station, Trish and Edward express their feelings about their new weapons expert.

Edward: I'll have to be honest. I have my suspicions about Mathilda.

Trish: Why is that?

Edward: I mean, think about it. She is even more quiet than her brother. And I didn't buy her when she said she was Matt's sister.

Trish: A lot is going on right now, Detective. And I understand that. But you shouldn't judge her. Remember, she was an agent in the past. She could be our future ally.

Edward: I know. Maybe it's just my feelings. I don't even know who to trust anymore. Not even Tyra.

Trish: I see. Don't worry, Detective. I'm sure that everything will be revealed soon.

Edward: I hope so, Trish. I hope so.

While they're talking, Clay is on Jasper's office, hoping that he finally found something interesting.

Clay: Any luck?

Jasper: No, Clay. Sorry.

Clay: Oh, man.

Jasper: But I do have something interesting. Not about the Colliers, though.

Clay: Hm? I'm all ears.

Jasper: I found a signal coming from a tracker similar to Giselle's, possibly a special device used by the assassins, because apparently some days ago, I found the exact same signal back in Topaz Island and Little Athens, both led us to Olivia and Felix, if you still remember them.

Clay: Yes, I remember. It can't be Giselle's, since she is fully monitored by Belle...

Jasper: Which means there's another assassin roaming around the mountain. Not Gustav or Alexander, though—Gustav was incarcerated and Alexander was already dead.

Clay: Where is that signal coming from?

Jasper: I'm not sure...it looks like a...giant cabin?

Clay: There's one near our station. Could that be it?

Jasper: Maybe. You'll have to ask for the owner's permission first.

Clay: I'll see what I can do.

While Clay's gone, Billy calls again. He says that Matthew finally woke up from his coma. Realized that we are facing a bad threat, Matt helps us with an information about the Colliers' whereabouts: after he was shot, he was actually still awake. He overheard Kayla talking to someone, possibly Samantha, about a hidden bunker in the mountains and hiding some people in it. Jasper nods, thanking him. At the same time, Clay comes and overheard everything. He tells us that the cabin owner grants us permission to inspect their cabin, so the investigation goes double-track now: finding the mountain assassin, and finding the hidden bunker that Kayla used to hide the Collier family in.
