## Plot

In the city of Port of Spain, a quaint little city, quite breathtaking, though there had been mysterious sightings of the Cobra creature and reserves of golds causing problems. Back at the station, Amaya says the last investigation has really placed her in the theory that this world is a multiverse. A breaking news reaches to us the country's most richest man, known for his gold reserves is found murdered in his mansion, and his name was Jayden Morrison. We go the mansion, where the security let us pass by, when we go the mansion's dining hall, that’s where we find Jayden's body, with an arrow struck onto his chest. On the body there was seemingly gold dust, so we send the body for autopsy. After that, we interrogate the victim's bodyguard Adriano Rodriguez, he tells us that his boss was obsessed with gold, but ever since he brought some mysterious gold, his life was setting aback but his thirst for gold didn’t deteriorate. After talking to him, we proceed further with other clues, Lovisa tells us that our old friend Hamad Mukhalif was wandering around the crime scene, so we debrief him as to why he was, he says that the victim didn’t give him his commission saying he worked under him for six years but apparently he wanted him to take photo of his with that gold, Hamad shows us a picture and it felt weird so we send it to Braxton for analysis. We also find out the victim had a ex-wife Maureen Simmons, who had filed legal lawsuit against him for taking her wealth. We talk to her about this commotion, she tells us that the victim was her estranged ex husband who took away her wealth and she had to live in misery because of it saying she didn’t even have a child to get legal money even though she didn’t earn by herself.

After talking to Maureen, we realise that her tone of speech was quite weird as if it was someone who didn’t talk like a normal human, later we go to Braxton's lab to get the results of the photo, he tells us that it was very interesting to notice that he found something within the gold, when we look further into the photo we find someone dressed up as Cobra creature, much to our surprise and we feel if that’s what really killed Jayden. After that we take the body results from Jacques says he is tired of analysing bodies but says that he found out that there was some gold dust found of the victim's heart and when he examined it contained some poison, saying that the gold he used to wear contained poison and that affected him even though it’s the crossbow that killer him meaning whoever killed him was a skilled archer. After we get the results, we visit Froy if he knows something about the Cobra creature and the gold, when we go there Froy was talking about "Hot dance" to Melanie but the topic drifted away, we talk to Froy about what he really knows about it, he tells he did deep research and tells us that gold scenario isn’t mentioned in the history books though apparently in 1882, when snowstorms hit many areas, reserves of golds were found, we ask Froy if the Cobra creature mentioned and the books and today we know is the same, he says he doesn’t know, it maybe a result of altered timeline or maybe someone that made up a fake story and someone now is using that identity. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Manuel comes to us saying Alejandra might be involved in this investigation.

Mid investigation, Manuel says that Alejandra might be involved with this investigation saying that her "harlot" past revealed some of the stories about her, so we decide to debrief Alejandra what she has to offer us. She tells us during her harlot era, one night Jayden called her for some time, she sarcastically says "If he had enough gold to get whores, maybe should have took pills, so I wouldn’t have to look at his small", Amaya weirds out and says her to continue, she says the next morning, she noticed some people wearing blue masks just like Cobras Azuis das Ruas were gathered in her house, she said that they were talking about something from him telling him ti give them all his gold, though he ignored but they tried to threaten him by hurting his daughter Janet Morrison, we were perplexed to know that so we decide to interrogate Janet if she was in the town, fortunately she was. She was crying saying that her father provided for everything, saying that when her parents separated she lived with her mother, she said that her father was getting threats from some weird blue masks people, but he tried all his effort to keep her out of it, but now they probably got him. After we talk to Janet, we realise what really Cobras Azuis want that gold for, maybe it’s like treasure and gold would give them superior powers or something. After that, Floramaria calls us in her office, she says that she is tired of this saying but she wants us to leave investigating because defeating Cobras Azuis is impossible for our feeble minds.

After that, Amaya tells us that she and Felix are not together yet, we hear him talking to Natalia who just returned from Brazil after doing some research, Felix tells us that Natalia found out that back in 1846, when the plague had hit Brazil, there was a person named Adriano Rodriguez who had been possessed by the Cobra creature and he was made to commit atrocities on the people, we knew one of our suspects was Adriano, was he a time traveller too, so in order to find that out we debrief him. He tells us that it was his ancestor of same name, saying that he was possessed by that Cobra creature and was used by them to commit atrocities while he was hanged of his crimes in 1851, he says that Jayden wanted him to work for Cobra Azuis saying he wants to save his gold but he doesn’t know what he himself wanted. Later we were approached by Hamad, who says he needs to talk about something, he tells us that since he is very well famous, many girls are telling him to photo them nude, Amaya says as if this was any relative information to the case, but he says that there is saying that recently Jayden had told him to take some explicit photos of him with his gold, saying he would pay a lot of money to him, Hamad says that he rather die but would never take explicit photos of anyone, but he insisted because apparently he wanted to defeat Cobras Azuis just like that. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Lovisa comes to us saying Braxton is nowhere to be found.

Mid-investigation, Lovisa says Braxton in nowhere to be found, she says that he went outside an hour ago and still hadn’t return, and now she fears if Cobras Azuis has got him, so we go to Floramaria to inform her about this and she bursts into anger saying what are we for if we couldn’t keep our members safe, while taunting Amaya "Maybe should have kept eye on investigation rather than focusing to impress a blond haired try so hard guy", Amaya says it’s not the case and she shouts Manuel's name too, who comes running missing one shoe she also shoots him saying he should should kept his eyes on Braxton instead of focusing on how last night was with Alejandra, we got quite scared but pursued with the investigation. We search the place and we find Braxton's device and some message "We got Braxton, if you dive into us, you will end up like him and here at Cobras Azuis, we treat handsome boys with regard", Amaya gets worried what they meant by it, there we also find that Alejandra had threatened Jayden about not revealing anything about that, suspicious on that we decide to interrogate Alejandra about that, she starts to sweat and says that Jayden had found out that she was a hitwoman and spying on him, he told her to submit herself to Cobra Azuis thus his gold would be saved but Alejandra refused saying she would also involve him in that so refused to give them in, though he had threatened her. After that we were still worried about Braxton, hoping to get any lead, we try to ask Carla about this, she was still in pain saying that he went outside with no anger and she don’t know who got him, though we proceed with the investigation to arrest the killer.

In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Maureen Simmons for the murder. Upon admitting, she bursts into anger saying that she was part of Cobras Azuis, but continues to say that she killed Jayden because he refused to hand over the gold that was in possession of them but apparently it was stolen by Jayden when he unearthed that treasure two years ago, when cobra Azuis found that, they were concerned because that gold gave them powers of the moon that means they were invincible to defeat, she also adds that the legend of Cobra creature was real and they work under them, she however says that she divorced from Jayden just because of the gold, so she could later assume her cobras Azuis identity, though since they kept pressuring him to give them the gold he declined so she wanted to kidnap her own daughter for this saying her greed for power is nothing in front of her stupid family, she even considered giving up her daughter for it, but from many months, Jayden had been trying to outsmart and even killed three of their members so they were in search of killing him, but they wanted the gold before anything else, so in order to fulfil this she was given the ask to kill him and get the gold because that would give them world power and undefeated. So earlier today she found out Jayden with the gold and decided to murder him, too bad Janet also saw what was happening and Maureen knocked her out and hypnotised her to not recall anything that happened, she said she shot Jayden with a crossbow and fled while taking the gold, though she gave us in saying that Rüdiger and Cobra creature and still out trying to get the world under their mere control, we ask her about Braxton but she smirks and says time will tell

Judge Kingston sentenced her to life imprisonment. After the trial, we were still stupefied where to search for Braxton, since Cobras Azuis "handsome boy" comment made us worried what exactly might happen to him. When we were figuring a way out, the one and only Philomena Larson, approaches us, her face was visibly upset, though she catches her breath telling us that she saw someone making the deal to kill Braxton or just finish The Americas Police Service, we ask her did a ghost tell her about this, she says while she was coming here, she heard someone in the alleyway saying that you should get rid of Braxton, though the voice sounded like Rüdiger, so we go the mentioned place only to find Raymond there who was waiting for someone, while we ask him who exactly was to meet him, his first name was Mary Ann, though according to her, she didn’t have to meet him, so we press him to spill the tea, he starts to sweat and says he was here to meet Rüdiger, shocked on this, we ask why did he wanted to meet him, he says that he has been associating him with the Cobra creature saying there lives a snow monster among us, Amaya holds her head and says "No shit, this world is a multiverse", he tells us that apparently the snow creature was the biggest enemy of Cobra creature and both of them went to clash back in 1882, causing havoc and destruction among the people, though they disappeared without a trace. When we reach to the station, we see Manuel standing there with some box, saying someone dropped this by, so he just picked up it, but Froy manages to come in nick of time and jumps on Manuel and throws the box away. Manuel shrugs him saying what happened, Froy says "That was a fucking bomb, I have worked in the bomb squad, I know from the whiff of air, if a bomb is hidden", outside the bomb goes off in the water. Floramaria says we should figure out who tf did that.

We go outside to search for the bomb, Felix comes out from his car and says he might have found Braxton, but he came to inform us, so we, Manuel, Froy, Alejandra and Mary Ann went with Felix, though Rafael insisted to go to, but he couldn’t, though we were also concerned about the Time Machine too, though there hadn’t been any signs of its using for now. We go the aforementioned place, there we see two guards standing there, both women, so Alejandra proceeds to distract them, she goes there and says "Hey ladies, some people called me to give some services, was that you, I am sure you both will love my melons and I will make you go crazy", the three women go inside while Alejandra signals us, the remaining of us go inside and there was no one, except we saw a slightly opened door, while Felix peeks through it and says "Holy shit" in a low pitched voice, and we all together bust in where we see Rüdiger and the Cobra creature, where Rüdiger was saying "Master tell me to take that handsome boy, I can’t control", while they saw us, Rüdiger says "Oh people you here", while we try to approach them, they disappear again, while we were shocked, we tried to look for Braxton. Alejandra disappeared somewhere but appears, Manuel asks what was she doing she replies "Oh one of the women needed me to kiss her and give her pleasure so I did", Manuel had a shook face but still laughed it off, we proceed to find Braxton while going through the entire house, we go the basement where we see Braxton tied to a bomb and it was about to go off in 5 minutes we needed to act fast, Froy jumps into the screen, he goes to Braxton who was crying, begging to save him, Froy said him that he will figure out a way, while Froy worked on diffusing the bomb, his leg twitched, Manuel was helping him, but Froy managed to save Braxton at last ten seconds, the bomb was diffused, Braxton then hugs Froy, cries on his chest saying he saw death from near, we later take him to the station, where he was still afraid and not in good health, Mary Ann advised us to give therapy to him, Manuel was red with anger saying Cobras Azuis is going so far, we get a call from Rüdiger, who says that we should come to Grenada to see what they have in store for us and if we have enough balls, we should face them, Floramaria says there is no time to loose and we should head to Grenada.
