### **The Kiss of Nature**

In hope of finding escaped JUSTICE member Andrew Shirley, Ursula Gemini and the player decide to go to Denali National Park, Alaska, where Ronda Warner's tracking device leads. Instead, we find a woman's dead body and Andrew in disguise near the crime scene. When we ask Andrew about the murder, he tells us he easily recognized the dead woman to be Whitney Bradford, a model and nature activist. We brought Andrew with us into custody. He said that there is another member of JUSTICE that will free him soon. We later find a broken cross necklace on the crime scene, belonging to Kieran Bartlett. When we ask Kieran about his broken necklace, he tells the team that he was exploring Denali National Park. He said that ever since his fight with Colonel Blackbourne in A Bucket of Luck, his necklace has been extremely loose and he was going to get it repaired after his visit. He said he noticed it fell but he didn't know where. We later also find a phone with a cracked screen. We give the phone to Imogen Caulfield and she manages not only identify that the owner of the phone is Amanda Middleman, but she fixed the phone as well. Before giving the phone to Amanda, Ronda, who was hanging out with Imogen while she was fixing the phone, told the team that Amanda is a high ranked member in her agency, and Ronda decided to go with Ursula and the player to introduce us to her. When we meet up with Amanda, Ronda properly introduces the team to her, and we tell her about Whitney's murder. Amanda tells us she's never heard of any Whitney, but she wished us luck on finding her killer. When we head back to base, Hunter Hondo tells the player that Andrew escaped their custody and that he escaped towards the Photoshoot area. Ursula and the player head there, only to find a broken camera and a damaged snow-speeder. We repair the broken camera and it belongs to Artie Choke. When we ask Artie about the camera, he said that he uses it to take pictures of Whitney, as he's her professional photographer. When we tell him that Whitney's dead, he starts to cry and runs away. We later repair the broken snow-speeder, and realize it's for model posing. This is when the snow-speeder's owner, Vivian Jacobs, starts yelling at us, saying that it's her snow-speeder and that we should scram. We ask her if she knows Whitney or Andrew. She tells us she does not know of any Andrew but that Whitney is her best friend. When we tell her about Whitney's death, she doesn't shed a tear, she rather looks extremely sad. She said that she doesn't know how she'll go on without her best friend, and that she hopes that the killer is found soon. We later find ripped clothes and a tiny puddle of blood in the photoshoot area. When the team puts the ripped clothing together, they find Kieran's company logo on it. When we ask Kieran about the ripped clothing, to which he said that he wanted to make a deal with Whitney, as she advertises many expensive clothing brands. When Kieran asked her to advertise his company, she got the dress he was going to give her, tore it into shreds, and walked off. After sending the blood we found to Sandra Davis, she said that most of the blood was the victim's, but that very few parts of the blood belonged to Amanda. When we ask Amanda about how she got into a fight with the victim, she told the team that since Whitney had Russian Heritage and acted rather mysterious, Amanda suspected that she was with the Russians. They got into a fight, with Whitney running off towards the crime scene where she was murdered. Amanda said that she tried to follow Whitney to apologize but saw a mysterious figure running off with a knife and Whitney dead. Amanda then took Whitney's phone, which she was holding in her hand, and sifted through it, trying to see if she had any contact with The Russians. When Amanda realized she wasn't a Russian, she panicked, went back to the crime scene, and dropped Whitney's phone, before running away. What she didn't realize, however, was that she left her phone with Whitney and that the victim's phone was still on her. She hands us the victim's phone and we send it to Imogen. While Imogen is analyzing the victim's phone, she says she got a recent notification from Andrew, saying that he has some important information about Whitney that may potentially solve the case. He tells us to meet at the Lake View, as he saw us investigating there. Ursula stays behind, as Jessica Charles goes with the player to meet up with Andrew. When we get there, we find Andrew dead, stabbed the same way Whitney was. We bring Andrew's body back so the coroner, Maria Caulfield, can do an autopsy to try and find more evidence. She tells us that the stab wounds are in the same place and that the weapon is the exact same size. Hence, this means that they were killed by the same person. While at the Lake View, we also pick up a broken mirror and a note saying "I'm not who you think I am!" We fix the mirror and send it to Sandra, who tells us that she found both Whitney's and Vivian's DNA on it, and that one of the two broke it. When we ask Vivian about the mirror, she says that she got into an argument with Whitney, as Vivian was jealous of all the fame Whitney was getting, when Vivian thought she looked better and should be getting all the fame. When she saw Whitney, she was looking at herself in that mirror. Vivian slapped it out of Whitney's hand, ultimately making it break. Whitney then stormed off towards the photoshoot area. After giving the message saying "I'm not who you think I am!" to the team's profiler, Aaron Hall, he told us that the letter had a faded part, and that the letter was written by a person that describes the victim perfectly. He told the player to uncover the faded text, while Ursula was debriefing Jessica on the case. The faded part turned out to be Artie's name. When we ask Artie about this, he tells us that Whitney was his long-lost sister. Whitney was sold away from Artie's family, and his parents told him about it a while back, as they couldn't afford to have a baby at that time. With the money they got from selling Whitney, they got a house and were able to take care of Artie. For years, Artie was trying to find Whitney, and when he finally found her, he got a job as her photographer. When he told her the truth moments before she was murdered, she said that he was crazy and was just trying to get fame from her. She then stormed off to the lake view. The killer turned out to be Kieran. Upon admitting to the murder, Kieran said that he was sent by JUSTICE to kill Whitney, as she was a former member who escaped. They also told him to kill Andrew if he saw him, since it would mean bad news for them if Andrew was caught. Judge Virgo sentenced Kieran to life in prison. After arresting Kieran, he admits he's a member of JUSTICE. Later, Amanda tells us that she's working with Ronda, and they need our help in finding the Russian's hideout, since they must have one in the U.S. If we can end their plans, we can focus on JUSTICE. We get a call about the murder of an important person in Vancouver, Washington, so we go there next.

### **Problems Up High**

After the team’s encounter with Fabian Marc-Holmann back in Vancouver, the team decides to go to Salt Lake City, Utah after hearing about a recent murder that occurred. Before Ursula Gemini and the player leave to go to the murder scene, Aaron Hall, the team’s profiler, tells the duo that he recommends seeing his wife, the mayor of Salt Lake City, Fiona Hall. The trio go to see Mayor Hall, but instead, they find her dead and spy Amanda Middleman biting her nails, sitting on the mayor’s table, sweating. We bring Amanda out of the room and Aaron starts to cry at the sight of seeing his wife with an arrow in her head. He collapses to the floor, staining his pants with the puddles of tears and his wife’s blood around him. Ursula decides to call Jade Thunderwall, the team’s beat cop, to take Aaron back to the HQ. While waiting for Jade, the duo decides to interrogate Amanda. She tells the team that seeing Aaron in that state hurt her emotionally. She told the team that earlier this year, her husband, Aaron Maximiliam, was killed by a member of a terrorist organization. Amanda said that her husband's killer escaped and was later found dead, and that she hopes that the Mayor's killer faces justice. Amanda said that she wanted to accompany Aaron. We agreed, but with the supervision of Matt Azarova, the team's weapons expert. When Jade comes to pick up Aaron, Ursula and the player realize that the killer must've entered and left the mayor's office from the hallway of rooms outside the scene. After investigating the hallway, the duo found a broken watch, which we sent to Imogen Caulfield, the team's tech expert. After analyzing the watch, Imogen found some black hairs on it. After analyzing the black hairs, Imogen realized the hairs belonged to Fabian Marc-Holmann. We call Fabian to the station and he tells us that he was supposed to interview the mayor about higher crime rates in her city. When he heard about the recent murder (without knowing she was the victim), he thought it would be a good thing to talk with the mayor about in their interview. The interview was supposed to take place in the mayor's office, which is when Fabian realized his watch was loose. When he saw the mayor's dead body, he freaked out and ran away. After he got outside of the building, Fabian realized that his watch had fallen off, but didn't want to go back into the crime scene in fear of tampering with evidence of the murder. The team decided to keep Fabian in their custody for the time being. Also in the hallway was a security cap. After analyzing the cap, the team's lab chief, Sandra Davis, told the duo that the DNA on the cap matched a certain Kaleem Clarke. After analyzing the sample, Sandra told Hunter Hondo, the team's informant, to go around the city, find Kaleem, and bring him to the station for interrogation. After Kaleem was brought to the station, he told the team that he is the mayor's security guard. After he caught wind of an intruder sneaking into the building, he rushed to the mayor's office to see if she was alright. Instead, he found her dead and Amanda sitting at the table crying anxiously. After getting back to the base, the duo go to Maria Caulfield, the team's coroner, for an autopsy description. Maria said that she knew the killer touched the arrow, as she found traces of a food and a drink on the arrow. The food was that of a spicy pepper's and the drink was a certain orange cocktail. Since nothing was in the mayors' stomach, both had to have come from the killer. After Maria's report, Ursula and the player go over what they have so far in the case. They reviewed Amanda and her story about her husbands' death, Fabian and his panic attack, and Kaleem's attempt to save the mayor. In the middle of discussing, Annie Legend, the team's historian, Matt, and Amanda rush to tell the duo that Aaron ran away from the base. Annie said she found a faded letter on the seat Aaron was crying on before he left. After uncovering the letter, we realized it said "Meet me at the park waterfall. I know that's where you two first met. -Lily." Ursula and the player immediately suspect that this "Lily" could potentially be dangerous and wanted to harm Aaron. Ursula and the player rush to the park to retrieve Aaron, and they find him and a much younger girl sitting on a bench, looking down into the depth of the river. We ask the girl who she is, and she introduces herself as Lily Hall, Aaron's daughter. We talk to Lily about trying to get Aaron out of the office, and she said after hearing about her mother's death, she wanted to spend some quality time with her father. Ursula and the player laughed in relief, as they were so scared that Lily was a potential threat to Aaron. The duo later investigated the park waterfall, and they found a random dog collar. Ursula suspected that it was suspicious and sent it to Sandra. Sandra replied by saying that the dog collar had pepper powder and orange cocktail splats, the same type on the arrow. Sandra then pointed out that only dog owners would have a collar. Hence, the killer owns a dog. Ursula and the player also found a bunch of ripped papers near the water at the park. After piecing them all together, we realize that the papers belong to engineer Stephen Carr. When we ask Stephen about his broken papers, he said that there was a technical problem in the city and she needed a technical engineer on the job, and Stephen is the best one in the city. He ripped his papers because he's been coming up with a potential solution for days but he just realized that it didn't work. We later go back to the scene of the crime, where we find a loose dog. We identify the owner of the dog to be none other than Kaleem. When we ask Kaleem about his dog in the crime scene, he says that he lives near the mayor's house and he often walks his dog into her office, as he likes to run around there. When Kaleem and his dog heard a scream from the mayors' office, Kaleem and his dog ran to see what happened. This is when his dog's collar broke for running too fast and the dog ran into one of the other rooms. After the murder, Kaleem has been looking for the dog ever since. He thanked us for finding him and headed back home. Also in the scene, we find footprints leading inside the building towards the mayors' desk. After sending the shoe size to Imogen for further analysis, she said they match leather shoes. We immediately think of one suspect who always wears leather shoes: Fabian. When we ask Fabian about his footprints heading towards the mayor's desk, he said that he believed that the mayor had some secret information on the organization the team has been fighting, JUSTICE. They believe that all criminals should be dead and we've already exposed five members. Fabian said this could be why she was killed. After their talk with Fabian, the duo reviewed what they had so far. They mentioned that they met Aaron's daughter, Lily, and Stephen Carr, an engineer. Ursula also mentioned to the player that Fabian went through the mayor's belongings and how Kaleem's dog went crazy. As soon as we've finished our review, Stephen comes into the police station and tells us that there's an emergency going on. As soon as we've finished our evaluation of the case so far, Stephen Carr comes running into the police station, saying that there's an emergency, and that most of the city is in a blackout at the moment. Stephen asked for his papers back, as he might find a way to solve the problem. We give Stephen his papers back and an hour later he turns the electricity back on. We later go back to the waterfall park, and we find an older-looking paper saying "The job is done. -Michael." Since Aaron is in no mood to analyze the handwriting, we send it to the next best person at it we know of, the team's judge, Alexander Virgo. He tells us that the handwriting matches a death threat from one of his latest cases. He mentioned that in this case, one Michael Fearwille killed Micael Aston. Michael said he killed Micael because he was paid to do it, but always refused to say who paid him. Ursula asked Virgo for more information on Micael Aston, and Virgo said he apparently was a terrorist member who killed one Aaron Maximiliam. This is when the duo realized that Amanda must've been the one to pay Michael Fearwille to kill Micael Aston, since Micael Aston killed her husband. When we ask Amanda, she says that she paid Michael to kill Micael not only because he killed her husband, but because he was a terrorist member and she wanted to put a stop to it. She said that she confessed secretly to a judge and that she was pardoned. We put Amanda in the team's custody for the time being. On the scene, we also found a note that said "I'm done, mayor!" As Virgo was busy for the time being and since Aaron was spending time with his daughter, the page was given to Sandra, to see if she could try to get any DNA from it. Fortunately, she did. The DNA was from Stephen. We asked Stephen about his note and Stephen told the team that he's gotten tired of always fixing the city's electrical problems, as he barely even got any time to sleep. Stephen decided to take a break, which outraged the mayor. We later decide to check up on Aaron and Lily. We see that Aaron has brought back a plate of spicy potatoes and an orange cocktail for Lily to eat and drink. They're both upset and saddened by their mothers' death and they want justice for her. Aaron says that they should recheck the hallway of rooms again, so that's exactly what the duo sets off to do. They find two clues, both were sent to Sandra. She then tells the team that based off of those two clues, the killer must wear blue and be male. Ursula and the player both decide they now have all the evidence needed to arrest the killer, they just hope that they make the right decision. The killer turned out to be Stephen. Upon admitting to the murder, Stephen admits to being a JUSTICE member who was sent to kill the mayor, as she was a leading person in the fights and protests against them. Judge Virgo sentences Stephen to life in prison.

### **They Never Talk**

After finding a document in the late Mayor Hall's folder, saying that the organization JUSTICE's headquarters was in Las Vegas, Nevada, so the team decides to head there next. We head to the interrogation room, as our ally, Amanda Middleman, said that she found JUSTICE's interrogation room and that we should come immediately. When Max Snowcone and the player head to the interrogation room to investigate, we discover Amanda dead, as well as the table, flipped over. We decide to search around the interrogation room that she died in, and we find a poker chip with a clear substance on it. After collecting a sample of the liquid on the gambling chip, Max decided to send the clear liquid to Sandra Davis, the team's lab chief. After examining the substance, Sandra said that the lab sample sent to her was a tear, who's DNA matched Artie Choke, the photographer that the team met back in Alaska. The duo met up with Artie at the nearby casino. He told us that after the death of his long-lost sister, he had quit being a photographer for her and took up his hobby of gambling. We ask him if about Amanda, to which Artie replies by saying that he does know Amanda and recently won a game of blackjack against her. He mentioned that she seemed super suspicious, which is when we told him about Amanda's grim fate. Artie acted shocked and saddened by the news, and he said to let him know when they found her killer. After Artie left, Max and the player decided to search the blackjack arena since, based on what Artie said, Amanda was recently in the casino before her death. After searching the blackjack arena, the duo finds a hat that looks familiar. It ended up belonging to Remington Dunn, the president of the U.S.A., whom we met back in Salt Lake City. When we ask Remington about his hat, he replies that Amanda took it as a joke, as she's always made fun of him because of his height. He also said that he is the average height for someone his age. the duo also finds a cigarette in the blackjack tables and end up sending it to Sandra. After finishing the analysis, Sandra told the duo that she found DNA on the cigarette, belonging to an ally to the team and an agent in Amanda's agency: Ronda Warner. The pair finds Ronda in the casino and delivers the news to her. Ronda tells Max and the player that Amanda was one of the best spies in her agency, and she doesn't know where the agency will go with Amanda gone. After getting back to base, Hunter Hondo, the team's informant said that he and Lily Hall, whom we also met in Salt Lake City, found JUSTICE's headquarters. After Hunter and Lily tell the duo about JUSTICE's headquarters, the four of us get into a car and head to the base. While Hunter drives and the player sits in the passenger seat, Max asks Lily about how she found JUSTICE's headquarters. Lily tells the three of them that as she walked around the coordinates that her mom gave to her, she stumbled upon a beautiful but mysterious building. Lily entered the building only to find JUSTICE logos all over the wall. This scared Lily, as it made her run back to base. They parked next to the headquarters as the four enter. As Lily and the player entered to investigate, Max and Hunter stood outside the building to stay on guard. After finding a ripped note and a necklace, Lily and the player decide to go outside to tell Max and Hunter what they discovered. Instead, Max and Hunter come running into the base, saying that a suspicious and scary-looking person is walking towards their headquarters. The four of them hide in different places, and the suspicious person enters, looks around, and leaves. After they leave, the four of them escape through the back door with the evidence they acquired. We get back to base and piece up the letter, which says, "girl, you're not good enough for this job, go home!" It was analyzed by Aaron Hall, who is the team's profiler and Lily's father, who tells the duo that it was written by Amanda, as it matched her handwriting perfectly. He couldn't tell who it was for, so he got Sandra to do a DNA test. Sandra entered the room and the team that she found two DNA samples. One DNA sample matched Amanda's, and the other matching Ronda's. He stayed with Lily at the base while Max and the player went to interrogate Ronda. We ask her about the letter, and she said that Amanda wanted her out of the agency, as she believed she wasn't fit enough for the job. Ronda did everything possible to keep her position and was almost let go until Ronda killed Rostya Pushkin, a Russian secret agent we met three times before his death. Ronda said that she could handle Amanda's position better then she could, but Ronda would never kill over her job, only on the preferences of her spy job, like when she killed Rostya. We also send the necklace to Sandra, who tells us it belongs to Vivian Jacobs, a model we also met back in Alaska. When we meet up with Vivian again, she says that she saw the building and thought it was pretty, and did some photoshoots there and happened to lose her necklace there. When the duo heads back to the precinct, we see Remington, who says he needs to speak with us right away. When the duo arrives back to base, they stumble across Remington, who says he needs to speak with Max and the player right away. Remington tells the pair that he and Amanda were preparing a sting operation on JUSTICE, but that she refused to cooperate, as she works alone. He decided to tell us this now as the plan failed. He wanted to get us involved and informed. After our encounter with Remington, we decide to head back to the casino. While there, we find a faded paycheck, a familiar-looking mirror, and a dagger with "you almost killed me!" inscribed on it. We decide to check out the large knife first, and we send it to Aaron. He tells us that Lily was recently in his room with him. She explained to him that the dagger belonged to her and that she's waiting in the interrogation room to give us an explanation. After arriving in the interrogation room, the duo asked Lily about the dagger, before Lily told us the story about how Lily heard of Amanda a couple of years ago and that Lily always looked up to Amanda. When she finally met her idol, she accidentally almost killed her. Lily was heartbroken and depressed for months. When she saw Amanda at the casino, she purchased a dagger to give to her to remind her. Lily admits it might've been too harsh but that Amanda should've known better. We then analyze the familiar-looking mirror, which still has cracks from when we last saw it in Alaska. The player immediately realized that the mirror was the same one used when Vivian and Whitney Bradford got into an argument. We ask Vivian about the mirror ending up in the casino, and she says she must've lost it while she was gambling. When we ask her if she knew Amanda, Vivian said that what she said was just a lie and that she was looking at herself in the mirror during a game between her, Amanda, and Artie, when Amanda called her fat and ugly and told her to put the mirror down. Vivian got angry, threw the mirror to the ground, and stormed off crying. We later reveal the faded paycheck, which showed that Artie owed thousands of dollars to Amanda after beating him in many casino games. We talk to Artie about Amanda winning all the casino games against him, and Artie said that he's glad she's dead because he would go bankrupt if not for her death. We remind Artie that nothing is worth murdering over. We leave the casino to recheck the interrogation room where Amanda died. After getting all the evidence needed, Max and the player were finally ready to arrest Amanda's killer. The killer turned out to be Vivian.Upon admitting to the murder, Vivian revealed herself to be the Russian Hitwoman Esfir Volkova, who was sent from Russia to gain information on JUSTICE. Esfir thought that Amanda would know information on JUSTICE, so she locked the door to JUSTICE's interrogation room and attempted to grill Amanda. When Amanda refused to talk, Esfir lost her temper. In a fit of rage, she bashed Amanda's head with a vase, killing her. Judge Virgo sentenced Esfir to life in prison without parole in solitary confinement.  After arresting Esfir, we storm the JUSTICE headquarters, but at the time we get there, the whole building got emptied, and any documents we found were gone. The only paper we find unharmed, says "Go To Flagstaff, ASAP" on it, so that's where we're heading next.

### **The Worst of Good Guys**

After Imogen was able to track down cop Lester Bartlett so we could interrogate him about his connections to the summoners. Max and the player prepared themselves and entered the station where they found Lester dead with a bullet wound in his head. Suddenly, the duo was approached by Brendon Jordan, another cop who accused them of murdering Lester and said he’d take control of the investigation Max snapped at Brendon saying due to his connections to the victim and his presence at the scene. Two other people were added to the suspect list first was a British Duchess named Sophia who agreed to talk to the team it was discovered that Sophia was sent to the U.S. by her country to negotiate their trades with Remington Dunn After he was incarcerated for the murder of Jacob Lynch, she decided to stay and explore the U.S.A. but denied knowing the victim. We also met paranormal writer Shauna Shaunthal who was caught sneaking into the station, trying to find inspiration for her latest novel, which she left there. The team's coroner, Maria then concluded the autopsy when she confirmed Lester was shot with a revolver in the head and he died pretty quickly however there were traces of Eye Drops on the body which weren’t the victim’s meaning they belong to the killer: After going back to the scene to recap Max and the player heard a noise coming from the reception. Deciding to check a noise from the reception out they discovered Security Guard Aiden Rossi who was guarding the station and accidentally knocked down some boxes. The investigation continued leading Max and the player to suspect a photographer they’d previously met named Artie Choke who had taken pictures of the victim as well as Aiden himself. Later on, they interrogated Brendon again after finding out Lester thought black people were criminals and that they shouldn’t be police officers and Sophia after it was revealed the victim gave her a parking ticket and he didn’t know who she was. Having another look around the reception Brendon caught up with the player saying it’s time to confess. Max and the player pointed out their innocence and told Brendon they have more power as agents and Brendon will be put in custody if he interrupts again. They later interrogated Aiden after finding out that Lester didn’t feel like he was skilled enough to guard the station, Artie because the victim gave him multiple DUI’s although he did nothing wrong, and Shauna after the victim arrested her for snooping around the station and brutally assaulted her for an explanation. The killer turned out to be Artie. When first confronted with the accusations Artie denied them saying he was appalled that they’d think he was a murderer although eventually he sighed and explained that he indeed killed Lester Bartlett explaining that he is a member of the CDRA and those were his orders. He explained that the agency caught some intel that the summoners intended on taking Lester wherever they went because he had good knowledge of crime which would be beneficial for them. Artie explained the CDRA couldn’t allow this to happen or it would surely be a very strong advantage which he wasn’t sure they could overcome so the agency ordered that he kill Lester. After consulting with Artie’s boss, Olivia Burnwood, we agreed to let him go. Later on, we got a phone call from Adeline Mann who asked to meet with us. During this meeting, Adeline admitted she used to be a JUSTICE member and was sent into the Russian agency to spy for the CIA. Adaline told us she wants to bring down JUSTICE in honor of good friend Jordan Patterson she explained she didn’t have much info but she is aware the summoners tend to hold their VIP Club meetings in Charleston, South Carolina Knowing this is a huge opportunity to find info. Hence, the team decided to attend the meeting in Charleston.

### **Dirty Work**

Back at the bar, the head of the **CDRA**, Olivia Burnwood, told the team that The Summoners, the cult that they've been chasing after, plans to attack an oil company CEO since they believe that he is a threat to the world and that he must be stopped. Olivia tells the team that the factory is in Roanoke, Virginia. After the discussion is over, we head as fast as we can to Roanoke, as The Summoners already left the bar. Unfortunately, it's too late, and we find a disfigured body lying on the ground. This is when Max Snowcone and the player immediately send the unidentified body to Maria Caulfield, who tells the duo that the DNA left in the burnt body matched Artie Choke, a CDRA member. On the way back to the crime scene, we find the only place the killer could've come and left, the mine's inside. After searching the place, we find William Donkard, a chocolate factory owner and ally of the team, who was kept safe by us back when The Summoners were JUSTICE and wanted him dead. We ask William about Artie, to which he replied that he knew Artie since he came to protect a friend of his, the oil company's CEO, George Knight. Immediately, the duo asked William if they could see George. William then brought them to George, who immediately asked William if he had seen Artie. This is when Max told him that Artie was dead and that it was most likely the doing of The Summoners in order for them to get close to George. We decide to take George to the base for protection, where William stayed. We return to base, and we find Olivia, angry and up in our faces, yelling and asking why one of her best agents is dead. We promised Olivia we'd find her killer and that we have leads already, which calmed her down. Later on, Max and the player found a Christian robe, the same one we found back in Little Rock. The player recognizes the robe as it belonged to Father Byrne, a priest who killed Nina Semenova and revealed himself to be a Summoner named Gus Washington. We return the robe to Gus, who laughs at us, saying that Artie, the main guard for George, is dead. He mentioned that it is probably their doing and that George will die in no time. We return to base, only to find Brendon Jordan taking George out of the station. Brendon tells us that George will be taken into police custody. We keep George at our headquarters and lock up Brendon for the time being. We start to suspect that Brendon is a Summoner, who wanted to take George out of the station and into The Summoners' custody in order to kill him. The duo enters the room and started the interrogation process asking Brendon if he knew Shaun Fearmore, the leader of The Summoners. Brendon said that he didn't know of any "Shaun Fearmore" but that he thinks his last name is funny. We ask him if he knows of The Summoners and Brendon said he only heard it through Lester's mouth. We then told him that George's guard, who was keeping him safe from The Summoners who wanted to kill George, was found dead, and that for taking George out of the team's custody, he's the primary suspect. Brendon gives the duo a shocked expression as the team leaves to continue their investigation. We decide to talk to Olivia again, to see if she knows anything else about Artie. She says that she planned on letting Artie go from the force, as he's been acting strange ever since his long-lost sister was murdered, and that she thought it would be best to let him go. Unfortunately, Artie died before that could ever happen. Olivia then got upset, as she lost two of her best agents. First Amanda Middleman, who was killed by a Russian Hitwoman, and now Artie, who most likely died at the hands of a Summoner. Later on, we find a piece of a Donkard's chocolate bar in the trash can. The chief's lab chief, Sandra Davis, discovered that the DNA on the chocolate bar belonged to Artie. Max and the player immediately found this strange, as William never mentioned interacting with Artie. We speak to William again, and he tells the duo that he didn't want to mention knowing Artie at the time, as it would throw suspicion onto him. He tells us that he wanted to talk with George, but was stopped by Artie. They had a quick conversation and William gave him something to remember him by. We later find Gus and talk to him again, as he's the only known Summoner in the suspect list. He refuses to talk, however, saying that we already knew everything we need to know. We remind Gus that if he killed Artie to get to George, it'll be the last thing he does. We decide to talk to George again, and he tells the duo that when Brendon handcuffed him, he said "And to The Summoners' hideout you go." We immediately find Brendon and grill him until he tells the duo that he was paid more money than he could ever imagine if he takes George to their headquarters. He said that he feared Artie getting in his way, but that someone else had already taken care of him. We leave the prison cell and find enough evidence to arrest the killer. The killer turned out to be William. At first, William denied all accusations of killing Artie, but then the team told him about The Summoners and about how he must be one since he killed Artie so he could get to George, and that The Summoners used him as a pretend target so they could have a man on the inside. William then starts crying and tells Max and the player that he never meant to harm anyone and that he got multiple threats to kill Artie or else he would never see his family again. William couldn't take these risks. When he saw Artie and gave him the chocolate bar, he told him to meet him at the mines. Artie met him at the mines, and before he could do anything, William sprayed the gas all over him. He said Artie's screams have been haunting him ever since. Judge Virgo sentenced William to two years in prison with a chance of parole in 10 months. After arresting William, we ask him about the person who sent him death threats. However, as soon as he opens his mouth, he falls to the ground. We trace the shooter and find the gun used to shoot William. The fingerprints on the weapon belong to Olivia. By the time we head back to the mine to arrest her, she disappears. We quickly take the injured William and fleed the scene. Back in the station, Maria tells us that she could stabilize William's state. After, Aaron Hall, the team's profiler, tells us that the last time we talked to Olivia, she mentioned that she needed to negotiate with the new president in the White House. We waste no time as we don't know what she's planning.

### **Fate's Chase**

After uncovering the team's beat cop, Jade Thunderwall, to be a member of The Summoners, Ronda Warner, the head of the **CDRA** as well as the team's weapons expert, told the team that she recently got back in touch with the CDRA's former head, Olivia Burnwood, who masterminded the murder of a CDRA Agent, Artie Choke. We rush to Olivia's house, only to find her sitting in her kitchen with her throat slashed. At the scene of the crime is Agent Muddslide, a CDRA agent we met back in Kentucky. He told the team that he came to Olivia's house after he got the same message Ronda did. Muddslide came in prepared to arrest Olivia but ended up finding her dead instead. He panicked and a few minutes later the team came. He did, however, mention that he did see Duchess Sophia Bartlett, the psycho British Duchess that killed two team members back in Pennsylvania. We immediately find Sophia walking around Olivia's house and we bring her into our custody. She tells the team that she will get out of our custody soon and that they should just let her go now in order to stay out of harm's way. We later investigate Olivia's kitchen, where Sophia last was before we took her into our custody. We find a large folder, which we send to Lily Hall, the team's profiler. Lily told Max and the player that the context in the folder regarded William Donkard, a chocolate factory owner and former ally of the team who was blackmailed by Olivia into killing CDRA agent Artie Choke. After he started talking in prison, Olivia shot him in the back and immediately fled the scene. The last time we met with William, he was in the hospital being treated for the gunshot. Max and the player realized that Olivia's murder investigation could be a perfect time to go and check up on William. When we meet with William in prison, he says he's starting to fit in and that he's been waiting for Olivia to be in a neighboring cell. We tell him that will never happen because Olivia was found with her throat slashed at her house. William then acted shocked, saying he wanted Olivia to be behind bars, but never wished her harm. After returning to the station, the duo meets up with Maria Caulfield, the team's coroner, for a report on the body. Maria says that the autopsy was confusing at first but she managed to figure it out. Maria said that due to the pressure on her body, two hands held Olivia back at the time her throat was slashed, which means two people are involved in her murder. As soon as we return to Olivia's home, we hear a scream coming from the dining room. We immediately rush over there, only to find Peter Crawford screaming at the sight of the bloodstains his mother left. We ask Peter how Olivia was to him as a mother, and he says that she has been acting more secretive lately and always left her house at nighttime. He then shows us his mother's will, saying Peter inherits everything and that Ronda takes her place as the head of the CDRA. We ask Ronda if she knew about this, and she tells the duo that earlier on, Olivia said that the late Amanda Middleman would take over the CDRA if anything happens to her. After she was killed by a Russian hitwoman, Esfir Volkova, Olivia immediately said that Ronda would be the new head of the agency if anything happens to her. We later find a form in Olivia's kitchen, saying that Olivia wanted to fire agent "47028592995." We immediately send over the number to Ronda, who says the number matches Muddslide's. We ask Muddslide why Olivia wanted him fired, and he said that Olivia didn't feel safe with him around, as they approached problems very differently and Olivia only wanted her way. We then find a faded doctor's file, which says on it, "William Donkakrd - probably will die - fatal gunshot." We ask William if he's alright, and he says that Olivia shot him in the back very close to the neck and that everyone thought he was going to die if he wouldn't have made a miraculous recovery. William still said after that he didn't wish Olivia harm, just for her to spend the rest of her life behind bars. As Max and the player head out of the prison, reviewing all the new evidence they've gathered, they hear an explosion coming from the station, and we rush over there to see what's going on. When the duo arrived, they found the team shocked to find that Sophia's prison cell had been blown up. We then rush back to the house, only to find Sophia talking with someone on a phone. We tell Sophia to come back with us to another cell, and Sophia said that the same thing will happen. We leave Sophia in the living room and find more clues to investigate. We find a drawing of a heart with a cross over it with DNA samples all over it. We collect the DNA samples and send them to the team's lab chief, Sandra Davis. Sandra tells Max and the player that the DNA belonged to Peter Crawford. We ask Peter why he gave that to his mom and he said that recently, their father, Jake Crawford, passed away due to cancer a few months ago and that he was at his father's side every day, but that Olivia only came to check up on him once. We also find a note, saying that Olivia should step down from being the leader of the CDRA. Once again, the paper is sent to Lily, who instantly recognizes it as Ronda's handwriting. When we speak to Ronda again about this, she tells the duo that Olivia was a weak and untrustworthy leader who did nothing but boss others around. The killers turned out to be Sophia and Muddslide. Upon admitting to the murder, the two said that they were working together all along and that they planned to kidnap Olivia and pin it on the CDRA. In reality, Olivia did nothing wrong. The plan worked, but Olivia escaped and signaled the CDRA to come and help her. The duo then decided to end Olivia's life, as she was worthless to them now. After they confessed to the murder, Sophia and Muddslide escaped the scene. We're trying to figure out why they wanted Olivia to be suspected of a murder attempt, but we know they're trying to cause a war. President Fisher invites us to the White House to discuss this situation. He says they're on the blink of war with Russia because they want to get all the locked-up spies and hitwomen back, but the U.S. can't release them, because they're very dangerous. We have to find a way to prevent a war from happening. On our way back to the station, we hear sounds of gunfire in Colombus, Ohio. We stop to secure the scene.

### **A Speech To Die For**

After the shootout between the team and The Summoners, the head of the **CDRA** as well as the team's weapons expert, Ronda Warner, told the team that the president is going to present a speech in Lansing, Michigan and that he is in grave danger. We rush to Lansing only to find Ronda dead at the speaker podium. We immediately find Bill Wise, the Vice President of the U.S.A., near the scene. He tells us that he's heard of Ronda, as she's the head of the CDRA and all, but that he never actually met her. We then ask him to lead us to the president, Tom Fisher. Max Snowcone and the player then inform President Fisher of Ronda's early demise, and Tom says that he is disappointed that the new CDRA leader is gone so soon and that she had a lot of potential as a leader. We later escort Tom and Bill to the station as we search the suite for more clues. We later find a gun there. After analyzing the weapon, we send it to a secret agent that Max knows of, Nicholas Wildzap. Nicholas tells Max and the player that the weapon was purchased by one "Nina Semenova." We know that Nina Semenova died. Hence, she couldn't have left her gun there. We do, however, know a member of The Summoners with a gun like that and named themselves "Nina Semenova" in disguise: Mary Thompson. We ask Mary what she's doing in Lansing, and she says that she wanted to get a good shot at the president. We immediately rush Mary to our custody and start to investigate the suite gate. At the gate, we find bug spray. We immediately send it over to Sandra Davis, the team's lab chief, who says that the DNA on the spray matched Hugh Smith's. We realize that the last time we saw Hugh was back in Rhode Island, and that it would be a good time to check up on how he's doing. Hugh told the duo that he wanted to meet the president and hear his speech in person. We ask him about Ronda, and he said that they interacted for a bit until Tom Fisher's speech started. He then saw Ronda apply a bug spray onto herself. After, she immediately collapsed. He immediately tried to help her and called for help after the speech. We go back to the suite gate and find a golf club, with fingerprints matching Silvio Razzio. We ask Silvio about his golf club, to which he replies that he was going to go on agolf trip with the president after his speech. We tell Silvio to stay at the suite and not to leave until the investigation's over. We later find a note telling Ronda to step down. We give the note to Lily Hall, the team's profiler, who tells the team that the handwriting perfectly matched one of her father, the late Aaron Hall's prized handwriting samples from Bill Wise. We ask Bill why he told Ronda to step down, and he said he wanted to take over the CDRA from Ronda, as he thought he was better fit to lead the agency. We then discover a laptop, and we send it to Imogen Caulfield, the team's tech expert. Imogen tells the duo that the computer belonged to Mary and that on the computer was an email from Shaun Fearmore, the leader of The Summoners. We asked Imogen if we could read the email, which said "Mary, there should be NO delays, you hear me?! Get rid of the president NOW!" We then went to Mary's cell, where she tells us that as the best shot in the cult, Shaun chose her to shoot down Tom Fisher, but she failed because Ronda stopped her and confiscated a gun of hers, which distracted Mary long enough for Tom to finish his speech and head back to safety. The duo immediately decided to investigate the scene of the crime once again, where we find a security tape. Once again, we send it to Imogen, who tells Max and the player that the camera does not have footage of Ronda's murder, rather an argument between her and one of our suspect. Imogen plays the clip and we see Ronda arguing with the president. We hear Ronda saying "There are people in that crowd that want to KILL you, Mr. President! I suggest you delay the speech" with Tom Fisher replying by saying "Ronda, that is the last time. I respect that you're worried about my safety but I must make this speech!" We immediately bring the president in for interrogation. He says that Ronda suggested he not do the speech due to a potential threat in the crowd. President Fisher then went on to say that he could gain many more supporters with this speech and that it couldn't be delayed or else he'd be a laughing stock, and that he got annoyed with Ronda always talking about and worrying about his safety, when she was the one who got murdered in the end. We then find a broken locket. After assembling it, to our shock, we find out that the locket has one picture of Ronda and one picture of Silvio. We ask Silvio about the locket, and he said that ever since he could remember, he's had a crush on Ronda. He finally saw her during the speech and decided to ask her out, and she rejected his advances, leaving him in a depressive state for the rest of the time. We now finally have enough evidence to arrest the killer. The killer turned out to be Hugh. Upon admitting to the murder, Hugh admitted to buying a bottle of bug repellant for the speech. He then said he left the bug spray to go to the restroom. When he came back, he didn't know that someone had replaced it with toxic gas. When Ronda saw that Hugh was about to use the gas, she asked Hugh if she could borrow it for a second. Immediately after spraying it on herself, Ronda collapsed immediately. Judge Virgo pardoned Hugh for the murder. After the gas from Hugh's bottle started to spread, we escorted everyone to safety, including the President and Bill. We believe the poison was supposed to be a distraction because Hugh was the aimed target. We then find out that the gas bottle and the fingerprints on the bottle belonged to Duchess Sophia Bartlett. On the bottle, we also find a coded message, meant for her accomplice, Agent Muddslide. We send the message to Lily, who tells the team that Sophia needed a distraction to kidnap the president in order to blame it on The Russians, moving them closer to war. In this message, Sophia said that she chose Hugh as a target because he's old and nobody would care if he died anyways. We realize that they must be pretty happy about how the situation carried on, as the head of the CDRA died instead. We must stop Sophia and Muddslide before they start a war with Russia. We have to move closer to the center of the country, so our next stop is in Des Moines, Iowa, as that's where A Russian Hitwoman we arrested, Esfir Volkova, was escorted to.
