## Plot

The team arrived in Bern in order to the find Alistair and bring down The Italian Mafia. Bernard had kidnapped the chief and decided to kill him, and we can't let him do that. Since EPO was our ally, the team was pretty much safe from the violence of the mafia. Since, the chief wasn't present, Emmeline and the player decided to investigate the city, during the investigation, we get a call from Anthony, who is panicking, he tells us that he found Bernard's dead body and if they won't investigate it, he'll kill everyone in the team, and would seduce Valentin. Emmeline gets furious, and then investigated the crime scene, and collected the body of Bernard, it was cut in two, Emmeline felt sick, we send the body for autopsy. We then interrogate Anthony about Bernard, he gets angry and says that he'll kill the person who killed Bernard, he tells us that he was planning to kill Valentin, and with him dead, no can kill him, Emmeline is surprised, that why he wanted Valentin to be killed, Anthony smirks and says that he used Valentin for time pass, but he had no idea that he was just pretending dating him, and thought it was real love, Emmeline is disgusted and slaps Anthony and says how dare he do that to him, Anthony says that if Valentin dies, it would be the most enjoyable day of his life. Emmeline storms out, Hilda manages to calm her down. We later found that Bernard and Maria had a fight before his murder. We got suspicious of Maria and interrogated her about the fight. She explains us that Bernard wanted her to get back into the mafia, and kill the world, however Maria said that she wanted to save the world from the mafia, and she would never join the mafia again, and they had a fight. After her interrogation, we later found out that Bernard was planning to kill the team, and the first one he would kill would be Alexandra, with his death, Matthias would take his place, we decide to take her to a safe place, and for that purpose we interrogate Emilie Becker, she tells us that she is a EPO member, she tells us that her aim was to follow Bernard everywhere and inform about his moves to Valentin, she tells us that she knows a place where she can hide Alexandra from Matthias. The autopsy results revealed out that Bernard was killed by specifically a saw. At the precinct, we were discussing the details, Emilie approaches us, she tells that Matthias broke into their house.

Mid-investigation, Emilie told us that Matthias broke into their house. We got worried, we visited Emilie's house and we saw Matthias trying to grope Alexandra, Emmeline went to Alexandra, and threw Matthias at the corner and handcuffed him, we later asked Emilie to take Alexandra to another safer place. We later brought him to the station and interrogated him. He tells us that with Bernard's demise, he was the one who had to kill Alexandra, however he could never kill someone hot like her shouldn't be killed, he told us that Bernard forbade him to have relations with any girl and due to that, he started assaulting different women, Emmeline kicked him in the balls, and left the room. After that, we were approached by Angelika, she tells us that she was following Bernard for a long time, and she has some important information about him. We interrogate Angelika about Bernard, she tells us that she was following him for a long time, and she figured out that Bernard had killed various people between 2008–2012, and one of his victims was named "Matteo Russo", who was murdered and sexually assaulted in 2009, we thought that Matteo might be related to Maria, we ask Angelika if she knows anything else about Bernard, she tells us that she only knows this much now, if she figure anything else about him, she'll tell them. We later interrogate Maria, about Matteo, if she knew about him, she broke down into tears, she tells us that Matteo was her older and only brother who was sexually assaulted and murdered in 2009, when he was only 17 years old, she tells us that after his murder, her family became traumatised, and her father started drinking a lot, which caused him to die, and her committed suicide after her father's death, and she was only eighteen year old when it happened, and she and her fifteen year old sister were thrown out of their home, and then they went to live in a orphanage, Maria got angry that Bernard ruined her family, and that's why she joined the mafia, she can take revenge on him. Emmeline was devastated to know about the agonising events that happened to her, and consoled her. At the precinct, we were discussing murder details, while we are discussing, we hear some screams from outside, we go outside and we see Matthias and Angelika fighting.

Mid-investigation, we find Angelika and Matthias fighting, Emmeline ceases the fight and takes both Matthias and Angelika to the station, and asks them about that why they were fighting, Angelika tells us that Matthias was forcing her to date him, but she repudiated because she would never date someone like him, Matthias got angry and threatened her that she'll kill her family and Valentin, she got furious and punched him in the face, and kicked his ass, they both got into a fight, after that Emmeline wishes that someone should've killed Matthias. After the fight, we went onto to find the chief, because he was missing and there was no sign of him, we later found a note that was sent to Bernard by Angelika, the note stated "You ruined my family, ye shagger, this is your doom cunt", we were shocked, we decide to interrogate her, she gets angry and explains us that Bernard was the one who ordered Carlos to kill Leon, Bernard bribed Carlos with a lot of money to kill Leon, and ordered him to kill Leon, which could weaken the Warner family, Angelika starts crying and says that Leon was innocent, who never deserved to die, he was really protective towards her, and Bernard stole the gem of her family, Emmeline gets emotional and hugs Angelika to console her. After Angelika's interrogation, Emmeline says that whoever killed Bernard deserves an award, because he had done countless crimes, and someone like him should suffer a painful death. After collecting all the evidence, in the end we had enough evidence to incriminate Emilie Becker, Silas' sister for the murder, we were shocked, upon admitting, Emilie starts laughing and reveals herself as a mafia member, whose aim was to assassinate the EPO leader and members, she tells us that she and Bernard worked together on destroying peace in Europe, everything was going well until Bernard started becoming popular in the mafia, and then the people started neglecting her, and she felt jealous, that Bernard took her place, and ever since then she devised a plan to kill him, so she can become an popular icon again, she just lied about Bernard trying to assault her and then she broke Matthias from the prison, and ordered him to work with Bernard, and ordered him to inject a poison in Bernard's body, and Matthias did what Emilie ordered, and then Bernard started becoming sick, and Emilie got her chance and then in the night, she confronted Bernard and then took a saw and sliced him in two, while we were gonna arrest her, Emilie throws chilli powder at us and escapes from the premises.

After Emilie escaped from the premises, we ran beside her and decided to catch her. However she managed to escape, we then decided to inform Silas about Emilie, we were also worried about the chief. We inform Silas about Emilie, he gets shocked and says that he can't believe that Emilie was working for the mafia the whole time. We ask him, if she did anything suspicious before, he tells us that she went to live on her own, so he had no idea about her activities. We were later approached by Brad, he tells us that he has planned a dinner for Tristan, but he needs their help in order to help him make "Lasagna" as it was Tristan's favourite dish. We agree on helping him, after helping him. We then proceed to check on Silas, if he's doing alright, he tells us that we should gather up the team because they're gonna reveal the baby's gender, after we gather up all the team, Silas and Alexandra tells us that they're having a boy, after that news everyone congratulated both of them. Hilda jokingly said that Silas would look more better with a baby girl, then everyone started laughing. Later, we received a message from Maria, she told us that she knows us where the chief, she'll send us the location. We then received a message from Liesbeth, the message was sent it French, which said "Si vous voulez qu'Alistair soit vivant, retrouvez-moi ce soir", Emmeline was shocked she told us that the message meant "If you want Alistair alive, meet me at tonight." Emmeline tells the team that Liesbeth wants her and the player to meet her tonight, Hilda says that it might not be save, and asks Maria to go with Emmeline, but Emmeline says that Liesbeth stated that she should come alone. Valentin got worried, and requested Emmeline to be safe, we later left the station. After reaching the place, we see Alistair tied up, and when we proceed to untie him, he stood up from the chair and devilishly smirks and raises his hand, we moved our heads back only to see Liesbeth, Matthias and Emilie pointing guns at us. Emmeline asks Alistair what is this, he laughs and says that he is the second-in-command of the mafia for a long time, he faked his kidnapping so they believe him, Emmeline is shocked, we were trapped, Liesbeth points gun at us, and then Matthias proceeds to grope Emmeline, Emmeline shouts and tries to defend herself from Matthias, however we later hear a gunshot from outside, and it was Valentin who shot Alistair in the arm, and then proceeded to shoot Liesbeth, however then came into and tried to save Emmeline from Matthias, but Matthias stabbed Valentin, and then he became unconscious, Emmeline shouts but then Matthias uses chloroform, and then Emmeline faints, after that Liesbeth and Matthias escapes from the premises, but Emilie stays there and says that we should rush Valentin to hospital. We later went to the station, and inform the team about what happened, Hilda gets shocked and calls the chief a "A filthy shagger", with Emmeline kidnapped and Valentin stabbed, we started panicking. Brad tells us that the mafia's next stop is Zürich. We then decide to head to Zürich before losing any time.
