## Plot

Upon arrival in the woodlands, Axelle, Max Mandelio and the player explored Bosque De Misterios, a certain plot of forest. Coming across an abandoned cabin in the middle of the woods, Axelle, Max and the player entered, discovering the body of old lady Petunia Mayfield, who had been stabbed by a pitchfork and left for dead.

Mid-investigation, Bonita discovered that Petunia had been visited by her granddaughter Ruby Mayfield a few hours before the murder. Later, Francesco was ambushed by illegal hunter Ellis Noivern, who threatened to kill him if he screamed, soon getting tackled by Javier and arrested. Eventually, Axelle and the player found enough evidence to arrest the victim's friend Marjorie Buckthorn for the murder.

Marjorie confessed, stating that Petunia had started suspecting that she was being watched by the government, or, more specifically, FBI agent Joseph Stone, and she started asking questions. She eventually asked about what happened to her daughter, Maisie. Not wanting Petunia to know what had actually happened, Marjorie stabbed Petunia with a pitchfork to keep her quiet. Shocked by the act of evil, Judge Delarosa sentenced Marjorie to 13 years in prison for the murder of Petunia Mayfield.

Afterwards, Judge Delarosa accompanied the player to the cabin, where they discovered Marjorie's recipe book, containing recipes of all sorts. However, Alita quickly pointed out that a recipe for almond cake had been highlighted in red, knowing by Marjorie's color coding that she was never making the recipe again. Rosa then discovered that Maisie had died from ingestion of almonds, which she was severely allergic to, along with all the other ingredients in Marjorie's almond cake. When confronted about it, Marjorie admitted that she had made Maisie almond cake for her birthday, and she hadn't been aware that Maisie was allergic to nuts. Marjorie then apologized to the player, and Judge Delarosa told the player to leave.

Meanwhile, Chief Mendes, Francesco and Max debated over what to do about illegal hunters Ellis Noivern and Lorna Hunter, Max proposing that they arrest both immediately, whilst Francesco suggested that they gave it time. Chief Mendes then joined the player to ask Joseph about the hunters, to which he replied that they had been warned before, so they could be arrested for ignoring the warning if the player found proof that they had been hunting in the area. Max and the player then headed down to the river, where they found a deer corpse, which Rosa autopsied, confirming that Lorna and Ellis had killed it. Upon arresting the pair, Ellis claimed that the League Of Hunters was always going to find a way, prompting Chief Mendes and Francesco to look further into the league.

After all the events, Chief Mendes called an emergency briefing, informing the entire of team of the League Of Hunters, and prompting the team to head to Bosque De Lobo to find further answers.
