## Plot

The team arrived in Sivas in order to catch Demeter. Taylan also joins us later and appoints Zeynep and the player to look for Demeter, because this our golden chance to arrest Demeter, and put her terror to end, and provide justice to everyone. After we proceed to find Demeter, we hear some screams from nearby, we immediately rush to the place, we found out a body, which was of a young student, whose whole mouth was blue, we immediately send the body for autopsy. The victim was identified as Émile-Yves Monet, a student from France, who came here along with his school on a trip to Turkey, to explore the country's nature. We then decide to find some clues, we found out a torn badge, which was alongside the body. We managed ti piece it back and it was of Secret Intelligence Service and belonged to Matthew Erickson. We were puzzled, that how did it his badge ended up here, and interrogate him, Matthew tells us that he was sent to Turkey to spy on HG and he has find many vital information, we began to ask him about Émile, he tells us that he doesn't recognise him, he was passing through he might have dropped his badge somewhere, because he had lost it, and was finding it, he tells us that Demeter is going to something bloody and we have to aware of it, this makes us even more worried because Matthew was a detective and knew everything what was happening. After our interrogation, we identified a list, in which Émile's name was mentioned, we manage to decipher the other names, we found out that it was list of "Law Class" and the professor was Bryan Castiglione, a famous novelist who had helped the detective to fight The Italian Mafia in Europe, we were surprised and decide to interrogate him, he greets us and says that things changed drastically, we inform him about Émile's murder, he was astounded and says that who would murder someone like Émile, he was such a bright student, and always interested in law and was extremely friendly towards the environment, how could someone murder someone like him. He then sighs to himself and says "The innocent always suffer". After our interrogation with Bryan, we proceed to find some other clues. Merve approaches us and tells us that she was diving through Émile's school trip and figured out that Émile was badly taunted by one of the teachers Loretta Ricci had badmouthed Émile, we apprise to debrief Loretta about this, she tells us that she was knackered of this trip, and wants to return to France, we tell her about Émile's murder, she was astounded and says that why would someone murder him, we reveal to her about her threats to Émile, she says that Émile and his girlfriend and best friend were a group of three, who would always do singing rehearsal in her lessons, and she started hating them, however she did not know that Émile would end up dead. The autopsy results revealed out that Émile died of having been forced to congest loads of ink, which killed him. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Cassandra approaches us and says that she got into fight with a policeman.

Mid-investigation, Cassandra tells us that she got into fight with a policeman, we ask her who was it, she says that she doesn't recognise him, but it looks he was from another police force, we then proceed to find him at the place Cassandra mentioned, we manage to look for the policeman, it was Robert Christo, the famous Romanian policeman, we were puzzled that why did he fight with Cassandra and interrogated him, Robert tells us that she told him about Émile's murder, and he couldn't believe it, and called her a liar, because he was sure she was stating lies, we were shocked that how did Robert know about Émile, we ask him to elaborate more, Robert tells us that he has known Émile for a long time, he tells that when Robert was in France, due to some work, while one day, he was attacked by group of four middle-aged men, who took him to some old shack nearby, Émile was seeing this from a distance, and instantly went on to inform the police, and they caught and arrested the men, Robert thanked Émile for saving his life, because his life mattered his family and love. Robert said that he became a police officer just to fight justice, but people made fun of him, and called him disgusting nicknames. We expressed empathy for him that no one deserves this treatment, after our interrogation with Robert, Eylül approaches us, she looked extremely flabbergasted, we ask her what was the matter, she tells us that she found a note in her lab, which was covered in blood, she was scared and says that her life was in danger, we ask to her hand over us the note. We look through Émile's backpack and found out a a business card. It belonged to a certain Sienna Atkinson, who was in archaeologist, and was in Turkey with her team, and she was currently in Sivas. We interrogate her, if she knew anything about Émile, she tells us that Émile was interested in archeology and wanted to explore some old artefacts, and she had given him her card, and that's what she know after our interrogation with Sienna, we proceeded to examine the bloody note, we found out that it was sent by Demeter, and it said "You're the next", however we also found out three letters which were "O, E and C" and all crossed out, we wondered what these letters would mean, and started speculating. However, Merve tells us that while she was going through Émile's phone, and found out that he had received threatening message from Matthew, in which he said that if he opened his mouth, he'll end up dead, we were suspicious on Matthew and interrogated him, he denies that he would never kill Émile, but admits that he had send the message to him, we ask him why must he do that, he tells us that Émile kept following him, and figured out a secret that would ruin his reputation and he no longer would be a detective, this raised our suspicion even more, Matthew tells us that Émile took the secret to his grave, and this secret is better to be left alone. Sienna calls us, she was very scared and tells us that she found out a skeleton from the area, she was searching on. After we arrive there, we saw Sienna knocked out, and we immediately rush her to the station, and the skeleton was send to Florin. At the precinct, we were discussing murder details, Florin calls us and tells us about the skeleton, Zeynep's phone drops and she couldn't believe what the results were.

Mid-investigation, Florin tells us about the results of the skeleton, which was a shock to us, meanwhile simultaneously Cassandra runs to us, and informs us that Nadeem called us and told us that Tierre had recovered but she still needs rest, we were glad that Tierre survived, we were glad. However, we visit Florin in his lab, he tells us that this body belongs to a certain named Lucas Chevrolet, who has been deceased since 2019, we were shocked that how come a body wasn't discovered for two years. He also tells us that, he was murdered the same way as Émile, we got suspicious of it was the same person who had killed Émile, Florin tells us that the age of Lucas would be 16 when he was murdered, we were shocked that how come someone murdered a teenager. After getting this report, Bryan approaches us, he tells us that he heard about a certain Lucas Chevrolet, and he very well know who he is. We interrogate him, Bryan tells us that Lucas was Émile's best friend, and both of them were extremely close, however one day Lucas disappeared without a trace, and there no had idea, where he went, however once they found pile of blood, and it belonged to Lucas, however the body was never to be found, and Lucas was declared dead, this event was a huge shock for Émile, and it took a lot of days to recover, and now his body is found in Turkey, and how come body of a French national ended up in Turkey. This news shook us, we then found out that Robert and Émile got into a fight earlier today. This rose our suspicion on Robert, we debrief him about it, he tells us that we know that how did Irges Mahfouz had robbed a bank. And accused his late boyfriend Matei Calinescu for it, Robert tells us that Émile was the witness of the robbery and murder, and for filing a case against Irges, Robert needed a witness for it, he begged Émile's parents to let him give court the proof, but they ignored it, and Robert was pissed off and when he met Émile Again they got into a fight. After our interrogation with Robert, Arslan approaches us and tells us about something worrying, he tells us that Demeter had left a note for him, in which she had crossed out names of the team members, and he is really worried. In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Loretta Ricci for the murder, upon admitting, Loretta claps and says that we finally caught her, she confessed that she was the one who had killed Émile and as well as Lucas, we ask her to elaborate, she tells us that she has been member of HG for past fourteen years, and no one knew anything about her, her main task was too kill students, she disguised herself as a maths teacher, and started teaching a school in France. However, her main aim was to murder students, when Émile, Anais and Lucas had interrupted her classes, she made promise to herself that none of them would survive, and planned to murder all of them, however Anais had left the country, which only narrowed down to two, she decided to murder Lucas, one day she had called Lucas to the school, in night, and when he arrived, she knocked him out and gave him the poisoned ink, and then stabbed him. Afraid of the consequences, she had send the body to another HG member, who had took out the body from the country, we ask her why she killed Émile, she tells us that Émile had figured out her real identity, and started to threat her, however afraid she might be exposed, she killed Émile the same way she had killed Lucas, to prevent anything happening.

After Loretta's confession, we pay a visit to Taylan in his office, he says that Demeter is getting out of control, and we need to reveal her real identity as soon as possible, because this would become a world threat, we wanted to know about the first leader of HG, who had established HG, because that might help us to identify the current leader of HG, Zeynep then says she wants to rest, because her back hurts really bad, Arslan decides to volunteer us, he tells that Eylül has been constantly receiving threats, and he is worried cause being her brother, whether be younger, he still has the responsibility to protect her. After some time, Tierre arrives, and Cassandra hugged her, because she was glad that she survived, because of she died, that would be a huge shock for her and the team, we proceed to call on Zeynep, but she didn't respond, we got worried, and looked in her office, only to find nothing, but a note pinned the wall by wooden stake which said "I've got my eyes on you" and it was signed by someone with the initials M.Y, we immediately recognised them as Mert Yılmaz, we were flabbergasted that why would Mert kidnap Zeynep, when he doesn't have any concern with her, however we remember that Mert was madly in love with Demeter, and he might have did this to impress her, Merve says that she'll contact Ceren, when she contacts him, Ceren says she doesn't care where Mert is, because he has betrayed her, and made fun of her love, but suddenly she tells us that someone dropped her something, and when she opened it, her face and name was crossed out, and there two letters "O and E" which said "They're next". We were shocked and panicking because HG took Zeynep, and now her life is in danger, Arslan immediately runs out to find Zeynep, and Merve accompanies him, Eylül then instantly says that the letters "O, E and C" definitely means someone’s names, and C stands for Ceren, however O and E are still a mystery, Cassandra says that O might stand for Onur and E might be for Elif, because Onur, Elif and Ceren are the closest people to Mert, and Demeter wants them to be vanished from existence forever, in this intimidating situation, Taylan tells us to immediately run to their residences to save them before they could do anything. Simultaneously, Bryan approaches us and and tells us that someone has been following him, and he doesn’t know who is that, at the same time, someone dressed in a blue dress, with a straw hat, and wearing heels, came in the department, Bryan said it was this girl, and we say her to reveal whoever she is, and it was none other than Mélodie Bousquet, we ask her why has been following Bryan, she tells us that she adores him, and is in love with him, we say that how she fell in love with him, Mélodie replies that she has been his fan for a long time, and has been reading his writings, and fell in love with him ever since, Bryan then goes off, and Mélodie runs behind him. However, we immediately rush to Onur and Elif, to save them before HG took them both, when we reached to Elif's house, she was still there, and we were glad that no one took her. We then proceed to find Onur, however when we reach to his home, his whole house was like if there was a fight, and his car was also dented, HG had took Onur, Elif started panicking, Merve consoled her, we then found another note, which was again from Demeter in which she had said that it's just the trailer, the movie still has to be out, Arslan yells that he's gonna kill Demeter with his bare hands, however since the place wasn't safe, we immediately rush Elif back to the department, when we reached there, we saw someone keeping the team at gun point, Arslan immediately jumps on the person, and unmasked them, and it was none other than Mert, this was shocking, we ask Mert what happened to him, he then yells "Heh, you all are losers and can never defeat our queen, your death awaits you" and then he runs away. We knew that Mert was off, but had no idea that he'll do something like this, Taylan says that Zeynep is still not to be found, and Onur is in huge trouble, and we can't afford to lose both of them, we receive a call from Ceren, who tells us that her life is in danger, and we have to arrive at Eskişehir because that’s where HG's inner ties are. Taylan announces to head to Eskişehir.
