After finding out "Operation Rock" and the connection of it to Johnson's disappearance, those two things leads us here at Rockland. The chief ordered both Amanda and the player to talk a walk and scout the Rockland Square for any information, Amanda and the player arrived at the Rockland Square and started scouting the square, while scouting the area. Amanda heard a commotion just near their area, we saw a woman running fast past us. Amanda questioned the woman about the commotion, the woman said that she saw a dead man shot in the hear at one of the benches at the central square. Amanda and the player both headed to the area.

Amanda and the player is shocked after seeing King's lifeless body at the bench, Amanda decided to send King's body to Virginia Daresbury before continuing the investigation, The two decided to search the trash can for clues and found a bloody handkerchief on it, Amanda decide to send the bloody handkerchief to Bob Smith, We also found a gold coin necklace in the crime scene with a faded name in the back, After brushing the name it revealed that the necklace belongs to a certain Amber Montoya. We decided to return the necklace and talk to her, The two meet up with Amber at a cafe just near the crime scene, We returned the necklace and ask Amber what she's doing in the square, Amber said that she is just having a walk at the square when she heard a commotion that led her to run and her necklace dropping from her neck. We asked her about King and she said that she knew King because King is her next door neighbor, She also said that she saw a man talking to King one night. The two decided to head to King's house to search for clues and to know the man who last talked to him. after searching King's house, we've found two glasses of wine in the table, Amanda decide to send the glasses to Bob Smith. Bob reported that the other glass' DNA belongs to King while the other one belongs to Christopher Knap, Amanda is shocked of the DNA results but have no choice but to interrogate Christopher. We interrogate Chris about his DNA on one of the glasses, Chris said that he visited King one night at his house to discuss some important matters and information about "Operation Rock. We've also found a business card at King's house, The business card belongs to a one Maximo Campos, a businessman. We talked to Mr. Campos regarding King's murder, He said that he don't know King that well, he just met King in a business conference where he gave the business card. We returned to the lab to get the results of both the body and the bloody handkerchief. Virginia Daresbury reported that she found traces of meatloaf on King's body, she checked King's system and didn't found any meatloaf on his system, therefore, Virginia said that the killer is the one who eats meatloaf. on the other hand, Bob Smith analyzed the bloody handkerchief and confirmed the blood on it matched King's blood. he also said that he found traces of sleeping pills on it. Since the handkerchief belongs to the killer, Bob confirmed that the killer takes sleeping pills.

Mid-Investigation, Havee reported to the team the someone drop off a package containing a bomb addressed to the headquarters. Later on, Arnav disarmed the bomb, after disarming the bomb, Amanda and the player decided to search outside the headquarters for any clues to identify the mysterious person who drop-off the bomb in the headquarters. After searching for clues, we found a death note laying in the floor, the note says "Stop this investigation or else...", we spotted a orange substance on the note. After collecting some of the substance, Amanda decided to send the orange substance to Bob Smith. Bob confirmed that the orange substance was from whiskey and Bob later on confirmed that the killer drinks whiskey. We also found a cane outside the headquarters who belonged to Hoover Dawson, a businessman and one of King's brother, whom we last met back in Sunset Bay as a suspect in the murder of late Troy Ashworth. We returned the cane to Mr. Dawson and talk to him about his brother's death. Mr. Dawson said that the last time that he talked to his brother is on his brother's house about important matters to discuss. After talking to Mr. Dawson, The two decided to return to King's house for further analyzation. On our second look at King's house, we've found a locked surveillance camera. Amanda and the player decided to unlock the CCTV, after unlocking the CCTV camera, Amanda decided to send the CCTV camera to Arnav Singhal. After analyzing, Arnav showed us the video of King and Chris arguing one night. The two decided to talk to Chris about the video. Chris said that he and King argued last night because King is suspecting Chris as a traitor to the team and Chris said that he will never do such a thing but King didn't believed him. We also found a lockpicking set inside King's house, we spotted a white substance and decided to collect some, after putting it under the microscope we found out that the substance is a sweat that belongs to Amber Montoya. We later on interrogated Amber about her lockpicking set that we found inside King's house. Amber confessed that she break-in inside King's house steal some foods and money from King, because she doesn't have enough money to buy food and money for her monthly rent for her apartment she's renting, because she is just a stowaway.

Later on, Havee reported that someone filed a restraining order for the victim which is none other than Maximo Campos, We interrogated Mr. Campos about the restraining order he filed on King, He said that King was always following him everyday, everywhere he go, the last straw was when King break-in on his house one night. The duo then decided to search the HQ front for more clues to help solve the case. After another look outside the HQ, the two found King's briefcase and decided to look inside, later on they've found an threatening letter inside that is for King, Amanda decided to send the threat to Albert Sailor to identify the person who wrote the threat. Albert said. He analyzed the writing and perfeclty described the person who wrote, he said that the person is a man, a person that is confident, has a strong will and has a strong pride, Albert perfectly described one of the suspect who is none other than Walton Bartlett, The duo decided to asked Mr. Bartlett about the threat. Walton said that he sent the threat to King because King was always meddling on his businesses and was tired of King putting his noses everywhere. We've also found destroyed metal pieces which turned out to be a metale eye with a note on it; "Im Always Watching You, Bro. - your older brother, Hoover". We asked Hoover about the message his sent to his brother, Hoover said that the message was not a threat but he sent the message to King to inform him that his always there to protect him whatever happens.

Later on, The duo decided to go back in the crime scene to find the missing pieces needed to solve the case. After another sweep at the crime scene, the duo decided to search the pile of leaves, after searching the pile of leaves they've found a silencer pistol inside, Amanda decided to send the pistol to Vincent Cassel to confirm if its the murder weapon.

Bob gave us the result of the bloody fibers, he said that the bloody fibers is originally fibers from a necktie, he also confirmed that since King doesn't wear a tie, its the killer who wears a necktie. on the other hand, Vincent finished examining the pistol and confirmed that it is the murder weapon he also called Bob for help after spotting some stuck black fibers on the gun, Bob confirmed it was black fibers from a black clothing and since King doesn't wear black, he confirmed that the killer wears black.
