## Events Of Zorro Island

### Crashing Into Motion

Axelle is flagged as a suspect after Rhea and the player found her hiding at the victim's hideout. When informed of her uncle's dead, Axelle laughs and says that he deserved it more than anyone. Upon realizing that she is being viewed as a suspect, she slaps Rhea and walks off.

Axelle is spoken to again after Rosa discovers that Axelle chloroformed Judy before her death, prompting Rhea to yell at Axelle and blame her for Judy's death. Axelle confesses and hands Rhea her badge, as a notice that she has been stripped of her police powers for the rest of the case.

Axelle is found to be innocent after her aunt Saskia is arrested for the murder. Later on, Rhea and the player apologize to Axelle and Juan for viewing them as suspects, and both forgive them.

### Ships In The Night

Following Cruz Alvarez's arrest, Chief Mendes summoned the player to her office as she needed help sorting some documents. Later on, the chief informed the player that she had learnt that Axelle had lied about her entire background, as she didn't know what Axelle was hiding. Upon summoning Axelle to her office, Javier and Rhea hinted to the player that she had been fired, as Axelle later stormed out of the headquarters, before being shot outside and killed.

## Murder Details

Axelle was found dead outside the police station, having been shot in the heart and killed instantly. Upon autopsy from a mildly inexperienced Dr. Madeleine Vorrhmann, she informed the player that a proper inquest could be taken after Rosa was cleared of any suspicion, but she had quickly sussed out one thing. She then said that due to the trajectory and speed of the shot, combined with the wound in Axelle's skull, it was likely that the killer was a sharpshooter, since not anyone could kill someone from a balcony.

Later on, the gun used to kill Axelle was found in the rooftop café's bin, as Juan informed the team that he hadn't got much experience in analysing weapons, but knew that there was something shiny on the side, analysing it and quickly deducing that it was a specific cleaning substance used to polish badges. Since Axelle had handed her badge in before her murder and couldn't have shot herself from a roof, this meant that the killer wore a badge.

## Relationship With Suspects

Axelle worked closely with Rosa Di Aguilar, often respecting her work, until Rosa found out that Axelle had attempted to set fire to Ramon Vasquez's autopsy report, angering Rosa significantly and leading her to slap Axelle. Axelle had also worked closely with Francesco Lobo, wanting to become a weapons expert like him. Francesco quickly locked Axelle out of his office after she tried to seduce him, as he was loyal to Alita. Axelle had reconnected with her aunt, Saskia Vasquez, as the pair had been distanced after Saskia murdered her husband. Saskia soon became distant again, after she realised Axelle's manipulative ways. Jae-hyun Cho had a distaste towards Axelle, saying that she had continuously compared him to Pedro, as she even once said that she wished that he had died and Pedro had replaced him, which upset Jae significantly. Mayor Lyon also disliked the victim, especially after discovering that she had been aiding criminal masterminds throughout her course as a detective, as she was also visited by Axelle the day before she was murdered, as she was later removed from the premises for attempted assault.

## Killer And Motives

The killer turned out to be Mayor Lyon.

As the detectives went to confront Mayor Lyon, they were stopped by her security guards, as she was in a meeting. Upon Chief Mendes arriving, the guards made way, as they entered the meeting and confronted Alexandra in front of her peers, as she eventually cracked and confessed to the murder. Alexandra said that she had worked so hard for justice and happiness on the island, wanting it to be absolutely crime-free no matter what, as the Zorro Island Police Department was meant to serve the justice, not obstruct it. Upon finding out about Axelle's psychopathy and hero complex, Alexandra was deeply enraged by her disloyalty to the city, as she took her gun and arrived at the police station, wanting to confront Axelle. However, when she saw her leaving, flipping a bird at the others and laughing, she saw red, as she made her way to a skyscraper across the street and shot Axelle from out the window, killing her instantly. Shocked that Mayor Lyon could do such a thing, Judge Vargas seemed on the fence as to whether to sentence her, as Mayor Lyon pleaded to be treated normally, as Judge Vargas (albeit very reluctantly) sentenced Mayor Lyon to 4 years in prison for the murder of Axelle Vasquez.
