## Plot

The team arrived in Hungary, in order to maintain peace before The Italian Mafia causes any violence here. Since the EPO, was the ally of the team, most of the mafia members were already incriminated. Hilda and the player investigated Debrecen, while were investigating, we found the body of Eleanore Legrand, a mafia member. We were extremely shocked, that most of the members of the Italian Mafia are falling like flies, and this could meant the destruction of the mafia, we send the body for autopsy. We later found out the phone of the victim, the victim received a meagre from Meinard Sven, member of the EPO, the message stated "I'll hunt you down", we were confused, we decided to interrogate Meinard about this message, he explains us that Eleanore was one of his oldest enemy, he tells us that evert since she joined the mafia, she always found a way to hurt him, or try to get him killed, but she failed most of the times, but then Meinard realised that he would confront her, and then send her this message, he tells us that Eleanore was the only mafia member which was in Hungary. After his interrogation, we found out that Eleanore along with other mafia member was trying to destroy the Warner residence in Debrecen, and for that she sent a threat to Valentin, we interrogate Valentin about that threat, he explains us he didn't care about her threats, because the mafia was already enough destructed, and they didn't have enough power now, we requested him to extra safe for his safety, he assured her, he'll be safe. After Valentin's interrogation, Emmeline approached us, she tells us that Eleanore was spotted in the police department few hours ago, we later investigated the department, however we noticed that a lot of crucial clues were missing, and we found a newspaper article from the year 2009, in the newspaper it was mentioned a 10-year-old girl named Angelika Warner was kidnapped by Eleanore Legrand and her boyfriend, we were shocked, we interrogate Angelika about this, she says that Eleanore almost ruined her life, by kidnapping her, she tells us one day she was going to somewhere with her family, but then she was kidnapped by Eleanore, and she and her boyfriend kept her in their home, and demanded a lot of money from her parents. The autopsy results revealed out that Eleanore was strangled to death. At the precinct, we were discussing murder details, we hear a explosion from outside the department.

Mid-investigation, we hear a explosion from outside of the department, we then run outside, we find Alistair shouting that he failed in his mission, we handcuff him and then interrogate him about the explosion, he smirks and says that this explosion was meant for his own son, Callum, we were disgusted that why would he want to kill his own son, he confesses that Callum was result of a one night stand, when his girlfriend became pregnant, he forced her to abort the baby, but she never did that, and then after Callum was born, Alistair accepted him. We were extremely angry on Alistair, we decided to interrogate Callum, if he knew anything about that, we interrogate him, he was shocked that his own father wanted to kill him, he tells us that they never got along, Alistair used to ground him for a lot days, and won't let him play football, and then he started becoming depressed, however he then met his girlfriend, and then they fell in love, but her death on the hands of the mafia is what which ruined him. After Callum's interrogation, we were worried about him, Jázmin approached us, she told us that her brother Adorjan Kertész, is also member of the EPO, he is willing to take Callum to their residence so he can remain safe, we agreed on that. We then received a message from Liesbeth, she was extremely angry and threatened us whenever she will reach Hungary, then she'll kill every single of us, because her mafia is falling like flies, and that's just because of us, Hilda messaged and gave her a middle finger. After that, we found out that Meinard was seeing Eleanore for a while, and we interrogate him that how he could fell in love with a criminal like Eleanore. He explains us that he always fell for the wrong girls in his whole life, the one and his only true love was his university girlfriend, who died due to cancer, but then he fell in love Eleanore, because she reminded him of his late girlfriend, but then when we visited her home, her basement was filled with skeletons, and then he realised she was part of the mafia. At the precinct, we were discussing details, we received a call from Jázmin, she told us that Callum was attacked by someone.

Mid-investigation, Jázmin informed us that Callum was attacked by members of the mafia, but he wasn't injured. We were worried, we then interrogated him if he knew why they would try to attack him, Callum breaks down into tears and explains us that Eleanore and Alistair were dating, and Eleanore started forcing him to do house chores, and forced Alistair to ground him for months, but when he fell in love with his late girlfriend, but once when she visited their home, Eleanore poisoned her, and then she died, and following her death, late Matthias carved and took out her body parts, he was extremely fierce that she ruined his life, and whoever killed her, should be awarded. We were extremely from what she did. We then later figure out Eleanore was also responsible for many other crimes that have occurred in Europe. We then found out that Valentin was drugged by Eleanore. We were shocked. We decided to interrogate him, he confessed that one day, he was a bar drinking champagne, he spotted Eleanore, and ignored her, he then went somewhere, and Eleanore drugged his champagne, and after the drug took affect, Valentin lost all his consciousness and fainted, and when he woke up, he was tied to a chair, and badly beaten up, his face and body was covered with bruises, he found out that Eleanore was the one who drugged and beat him. We were shocked that Eleanore committed many crimes. In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Angelika Warner, for the murder, we were extremely shocked that Angelika turned out be the killer, upon admitting Angelika confessed that Eleanore had ruined her family, and always found the way to defeat her family, she explains us that when she was kidnapped, Eleanore planned that she would hurt the Warners until her death, and the she joined the Italian Mafia to defeat the Warners, we were shocked, Angelika explains us that following Leon's death, his body was entombed by Eleanore, and she took out his organs from his body, and then buried his body again, when Angelika figured this out, she got extremely angry and confronted Eleanore about it, she smirked and said that they will suffer, and she'll kill the rest of the Warners, and would do the same to them, like she did to Leon, Angelika wanted to protect her family from someone like her, and she took a garrotte watch and strangled her.

After Angelika's confession, we ask her more about the mafia's insides, she tells us that since most of the mafia members are already dead, there is no way they have enough power, the only members who are alive are Liesbeth, Alistair and Anthony, Angelika says that she still won't forgive Anthony, after what he did with Valentin. Valentin comes in and pats Angelika, and says that he's proud of her that, she avenged their brother's death, he tells us that he wants to prepare a cake for Emmeline, which was made from the Swiss chocolate brand Lindt, we decide to interrogate Emilie, if she knew the perfect Swiss recipe, she tells us that her famous recipe, is only known to some people. She gives us the recipe and we thank her. After that, we were approached by Brad who tells us that Tristan has joined the EPO, and he's constantly worried about him, because Liesbeth and Alistair are one violent people, who can hurt him and kill him, we assure Brad that something like that won't happen, we then decide to talk about this matter to Meinard, he tells us that he'll ensure that Tristan will remain safe. After the interrogation, Silas approached us and was extremely pale, we ask him, that what's the matter, he tells us that Alexandra has fainted, and she isn't waking up, we panicked and immediately rushed her to the hospital, the doctors tells us that it looks like she was knocked out by a very sharp weapon, we tell her she's pregnant, Silas was extremely worried and was shivering, Brad managed to calm him down, and assured him that everything will be safe, we then receive a message from Liesbeth, she laughs and says that "My plan is successful, Alexandra will lose her baby", Silas takes the phone and calls Liesbeth, and starts shouting on her, and says that if something happens to her, he'll kill Liesbeth dreadfully that her every ancestor would remember it, we keeps shouting, and Hilda takes the phone from his hands, and says him that she understand his pain and anger, but a bitch like Liesbeth wouldn't get scared of this, there are ways to defeat this, meanwhile we receive a message from Angelika, who tells us that Valentin has been missing for a while, and she is extremely worried about him, we then get a call from Maria, who tells us that she is currently in Miskolc and she spotted Alistair there. We realise that the mafia's next spot of creating violence, after waiting from a lot of hours, we receive a news that Alexandra and the baby are doing fine, but she needs special care, to prevent any types of mishaps, and since her due date is near. We then interrogate Emmeline to ask her about the disappearance of Valentin, she tells us that while they were having coffee at a café, Valentin went on to take something, but he never returned back, and when she came out of the café, she saw Valentin's iPhone and his watch, she panicked. We immediately recognise that he was kidnapped by the mafia, we then decide to head to Miskolc before losing any time.
