Enjoy your cocktail...while you can...

**A Big Sip** is the 4th case in Island Investigations, the 4th case to occur at the docks, as well as the 379th case overall.

## ***Summary***

### **Victim**

* **Anna Bosko** **(Poisoned to death in a bar)**

## ***Plot***

After getting a call from Jordan Foster, the team's informant, the team rushes to a space bar in order to pick up a dead body. We rush over there and we find an old lady's poisoned body on one of the bar seats. We look around to see if we find anybody in the building and we find Luca Richardson, the bartender, closing down for the night. Leo Lennox and the player immediately bring Luca aside and interrogate him about the murder. We take him to where the victim was sitting, and he identifies her to be one Anna Bosko, who often came to the bar. We search around the bar and we find John Presley, a drunk bar frequented, singing to himself backstage. The backstage area was muted, which was why we couldn't hear him beforehand. We then find a tablet at the bar belonging to Annalee Burch, the socialite we met while investigating Kirsten Maybridge's murder. We ask Annalee about the tablet and she said that she often came to the bar to get drinks and because she wanted to hang out with Luca, a good friend of her father's. We then hear that a famous singer is coming to sing at the bar and that the security must be raised, especially with a killer on the loose. We welcome the singer, Katie The Werewolf, into the bar, and she ignores us. Confused, we ask her about Anna's murder. Katie said that she didn't see anything as she wasn't at the bar until now and that we should leave her alone. Annoyed, she leaves. We then find a restraining order between Katie and Justin Timbersea, whom we also met while investigating Kirsten's murder. We ask Justin why he has a restraining order on Katie, and he said that at first, he was a big fan of her music, and when he wanted to get her autograph, she slapped him and told him to get his head out of the clouds. We then decide to keep a closer eye on Katie. We then find a piece of paper with a bunch of scribbles on it. The only word we can make out of it is a very sloppily written "Anna!" We immediately send the letter to Noel Valentine, the team's profiler, who says that he couldn't make out what anything was or who wrote it, apart from that it must have been written by someone extremely drunk and/or high. Immediately, one person comes to our mind: John. We then meet up with a sober John, who said that he was hitting on Anna and sent her a letter about it. When she said no, he kicked her and ran away backstage. He also said that Luca, the bartender, saw it and did absolutely nothing about it and just gave Anna a growl. We ask Luca about it and he tells the duo that Anna was somewhat arrogant. He said that she said in 2005 when she was still attached to her conjoined twin, their house was blown up by a cult member. After, Anna came to the island of Santa Matnette to work and provide money for her family. Anna admitted to keeping all the money for herself and kept disrespecting Luca, who worked extra hard for her, and that she didn't tip him or say anything. After, we find a pendant with Anna and a man on it. We analyze the man, to be Frank Foreman, a wealthy businessman who recently passed away a year ago due to cancer. We realize that he was Anna's husband who made many business deals with Justin. We ask Justin about Anna's husband, and he said that he did not only see him as a business friend but also a friend in real life as well. We then find a Latin slab saying "Anna must pay" on it. We send it to Karen Wilson, the team's lab chief, who says that she analyzed fingerprints on it belonging to Annalee. We ask her about the slab and she says that her sister, Ramona Burch, recently passed away. She worked at Anna's company and when she died all Anna did was laugh and ignore it, since she hated Ramona. After our talk with Annalee, we decide to search the backstage area one more time and we discover who the killer is.

## ***Killer And Motives***

The killer turned out to be Justin.

Upon admitting to the murder, Justin said that one of Frank's deals ended up being a failure and he lost all of his money. Justin wanted all his money back and threatened Frank to give it to him or bad things will happen to him and his family. Frank got sick and hospitalized, where he soon died. Justin fulfilled his promise and killed Anna since she was married to Frank.

Judge Sakura sentenced Justin to life in prison without parole.

## ***Welcome To Santa Matnette! (4/5)***

After arresting Justin, we get a call from Luca*,* saying that there were a few blood stains and other things related to the murder that is still at the bar. We search around and find a paper, saying "You will pay, Frank! You're a dead man!" We send the note to Noel and Nicholas Madigan, the team's tech expert. They both check into the hospital records and we discover that Justin, in fact, did not kill Frank, as he got lung cancer from smoking too many cigarettes. We then get a call from Aubrey Nottingham, a lab assistant who we met during our first case. She tells the team about a secret entrance going into a laboratory and that bad things are going on at the docks of Santa Matnette. She tells the team to be careful and we go into the entrance and hear a scream.
