Nemeses Potestatis

**Nemeses Potestatis** is the 5th case of Tales From Greensin, the sixth case to occur in Old Town, as well as the 564th case overall.

## **Summary**

### **Victim**

* **Reymond Lopez** (Found with head bashed.)

## **Killer And Motives**

The killer turned out to be Douglas.

It was revealed that Douglas was paid by the Dezario Crime Family to take out Reymond, as him and his gang were gaining more and more power and the Dezarios wanted to remain the ones in control. Douglas was then "killed" in a setup to help him escape going to prison. It was later revealed that mafia underboss Frank Borroni assisted Douglas in the attack and acted as a fake sniper in order to help Douglas escape the police.

## **Back to the Roots (6/6)**

Madeline: Argh! I simply cannot believe some bastard mobster fooled us! I swear, I'll have the culprit's head on a platter after this!

Madeline: Come on, Detective, we shall go back to Douglas' hideout to see if we can gather anything useful. Surely he can't be THAT smart, right?

After hours of searching through dust and cobwebs, we find a torn note in a locker that wouldn't have budged before. After cleaning the note up, and working our magic on it, we find the following message written on it: “Vlad, the Dezario family appreciates your work. Thanks for getting rid of Andrew. Up for a bigger task? –Douglas”

Madeline: Well, I can't say I'm really gobsmacked Douglas works for the Dezarios. They are the scum of this city, pretending to be the upper class. I hate those cheeky bastards with passion.

David: You have to go back to the casino! That place is owned by the Dezario family. You might find useful clues there.
Madeline: Then again, what ISN'T owned by those rats in this part of the city?

At the casino...

Madeline: Any luck finding the good stuff, Detective? I only found an empty bottle of Scottish whiskey. It's like finding gold, if you ask me. And not because I love alcohol.

Madeline: What's that you have in your hands? A torn picture? Someone must've been real pissed off to tear that up. Let's put it back together! You certainly have the power to put stuff back together without the tearing even being visible.

After magically returning the picture to its former glory...

Madeline: So it's a picture of two men having fun at a poker party. Great.

John: Wait, I recognize the guy on the left! That's Tony Dezario. He was the leader of the family before he got killed by some politician back in 2030.

Madeline: The other guy looks familiar too. Let's run his face through the database.

After the scans...

Madeline: Well, well. Stefan Kay has got some explaining to do. What do you say, Detective? Should we visit the old fart again?

Madeline: Mr. Kay, we found this picture of you and Tony Dezario, playing poker. Did you know him well?

Stefan: Yeah, Tony and I were friends. I often visited him and his wife at their mansion. The Italians weren't described as cruel monsters back when Tony was in office.

Madeline: What happened to the original mob?

Stefan: Well, as I know, the Don left the city for some reason, so Tony and his gang came in and got rid of the rest. I heard rumors that the original boss is back in town for revenge.

Madeline: Who rules the Dezario family now that Tony is dead?

Stefan: His son, Casimiro. He's young but fierce. I'm sure the old boss has serious competition here. It won't be easy for him to get the throne back.

Back at the station, after a short debrief about the interrogation.

David: The situation is worse than I expected. You are to go to Little Italy as soon as possible before things get out of hand even more. We have to stop the Dezarios!
