## Plot

In the city of San Miguel, there was high alert because there had been bomb attack the local market causing death of eight people. At the station, Manuel was dressed up in new clothes, saying the old clothes were just repetitive. Floramaria tells us we should find Felix whether be alive or dead but we should. Later Manuel says he is worried about Felix saying he was gonna tell us about the higher legion's name, but the same time we receive a call from a girl named Marisa Jimenez, who tells us that she has found up a body in the market place and we go there to investigate. We investigate and find the burnt body of someone unrecognisable, so we look for more clues and find the someone's card of "Cobras Azuis das Ruas" which in English translated to "Blue Snakes of the Streets" we were curious of it was actually the higher legion's name, but we couldn’t find Felix anywhere, the victim was identified as Enrique Belaño, as per Marisa who tells us they worked together in the wine industry seeing that she found him murdered after he was lost after the grenade attack. We inform about the higher legion's name to Floramaria, Amaya tells us that Mary Ann was telling her that Froylan was begging her to let him back but she refused. We later find out a whip specifically used by prostitutes, Manuel says who even would do drop it on the crime scene, when we deciphered the name it belonged to Alejandra del Toro, we were curious why she was in San Miguel. We ask her, she says "Oh no sweetheart I was here for some work", Manuel asks her if she knew Enrique, she says she doesn’t know, he maybe her client and says everyone loves the satisfaction she winks at Manuel and says "Maybe I can satisfy you tonight, muffin" Manuel says he is alright being single.

After that, we decide to look for Felix around the city but he was nowhere to be found, we later find some man wandering around the crime scene wearing blue mask named Leopold Augustin, we decide to interrogate him, he takes of his mask and says "Manu you here", Manuel says how does he know him but he says he just thought it was his friend, we ask what he was doing there, he tells us that his magnificent leader sent him there because Enrique was stupidly threatening them saying they will take him down saying that if Los Perros Motociclistas wasn't able to, how can he alone do that, he tells us that they have something better planned for El Salvador. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Braxton comes to us saying he might have found Felix's whereabouts.

Mid-investigation, he says he might know where is Felix, he says there is one old warehouse in the outskirts of San Miguel, and he might be there. We go there and we find Felix tied up there and we see several scratches on his body and part of his shirt was torn. We take him to the station, he says he wants to talk about the victim saying he had saved him from them, saying that Cobras Azuis have something planned but we don’t know what it is saying that Enrique had something happened to him that he wanted to defeat them all, saying he had been on defeating them from sixteen years. Felix says "You kinda look cute in these clothes". Later Manuel tells this to Amaya teasing her that her future "boyfriend" called him cute and Amaya says "I mean he ain’t lying is he". Froylan later comes at the station saying that he deserves one more chance but Manuel says he is a douche and then says he should suffer for what he had done, and Froy replies "Not fair bro", we later find out that the victim was threatened by a gang member named Nurlan Alieva had been threatening him to keep away. We interrogate Nurlan, she says that Enrique said he would take them down and their grand plan that would be happening soon, wiping the entire continent, Manuel says to Nurlan that Cobras Azuis is just using her, but she says about Elaine and we were shocked trying to find what happened to her.

Back at the station, Lovisa tells us that Elaine had disappeared somewhere and Froy keeps looking for her, Manuel says it’s not good and he says we should let Froy back and he talks to the chief but she says "Don't be so good hearted Manuel, you never know what that girl is up to and Froylan wouldn’t come". We later find out that Alejandra had something to do with Enrique something about the work together; we talk to her about it she tells us that Enrique told her to learn gun fighting and she could be perfect for it, Manuel later says that he feels Alejandra isn’t just a harlot but she had something else in her. Amaya comes to us saying it’s quite hot today, and she says she needs something cold, she says to Manuel "Hey aren’t you feeling hot, you are sweating" Manuel says he is alright saying that he is just alright. After that he take off the blue shirt, and was wearing his iconic tank top. Lovisa comes there and says "Who you trying to impress with that muscles". Manuel says he was just feeling hot that’s why. At the precinct, we were discussing details, Braxton says that Leopold is not someone he says.

Mid investigation, Braxton tells us that Leopold is not someone he says, Manuel says he doesn’t know but he feels he knows Leopold, Braxton breaks us the news that Leopold disappeared ten years ago, Manuel says his best friend also disappeared ten years ago, but he doesn’t know if Leopold is the same. We interrogate him, he denies and says he belongs to Cobras Azuis since his teens, and he doesn’t know what he is talking about, he says he and Cobras Azuis are celebrating the death of Enrique because he had been threatening them for a long time telling them to die. We later see Marisa panicking and telling us that she is being threatened by Cobras Azuis that they will her too, saying that she will pay for trying to defeat them along with Enrique, she tells us that she and him knew about everything about each other. After that Manuel says Cobras Azuis is worst than Los Perros, that they just think people's lives as pawns. We later find out that Felix and Enrique made an alliance saying that they both would defeat them, we ask Felix about this, he tells us that fifteen years ago Enrique's pregnant wife was killed and sexually abused by Cobras Azuis, and since then he wanted to take revenge from them, after that Felix blushes and says "I like your muscles and abs" Manuel blushes too and we later try to find other clues to arrest the killer

In the end, we had enough evidence to incriminate Marisa Jimenez for the murder. Upon admitting, Marisa says that she was forced to kill Enrique by Cobras Azuis, saying that they threatened her with her family, she later says that recently he found out that how his wife was murdered and sold to black market, and after he found out that he killed two members of Cobras Azuis without knowing the consequences, she said that when the leader find out that, she was being threatened by them to finish his off or else her loved ones would be vanished out of existence, though she didn’t pay attention it first, but as Enrique and her continued to plot against them, her family was getting threats, being beaten up, kidnapped or worse getting killed, when she came to know about it, she begged to Cobras Azuis about not hurting them, but they gave her two conditions, either kill Enrique or become harlot for them, she said she didn’t want to do both but she was forced for it. She says that Cobras Azuis had planned for the bombing at the market and apparently there were diamonds of past buried there, but their sole aim was to kill off Enrique, they made it seem that she was the one who did that, she tells that after the explosion she went the diamond place and there she saw Enrique who told that these diamonds could be exerted by them, Marisa later takes out a grenade and throws there she apologises to Enrique saying she had no other choice and he dies of the explosion.

Judge Kingston sentenced her to 10 years in prison. After the trial, Manuel says that Cobras Azuis is really evil and cruel using people to kill their loved ones, or worse chaos. After that Amaya comes to us saying that Natalia wants to meet us right now, so we talk to her about what she has for us. She tells us that Los Perros is trying to wage war with Cobras Azuis saying that they will use nuclear weapons for the action, we tell this to Floramaria who tells us that Natalia can’t be fully trusted so we should ask Nurlan about Cobras Azuis' plan if she wills to talk. We interrogate Nurlan about this, though we don’t show we wanted information, we trick her by saying that the leader is banishing her because she isn’t useful anymore, she gets pissed off and says that she devoted all her energies to Cobras Azuis and how in few months she made them wealthy telling they committed a mass shooting in Panama and Bolivia telling us Panama was the place where it all started, we thank her giving out information. Manuel says that he doesn’t want to go to Panama because he heard there were many furries there which he dislikes. Mary Ann comes to us saying that recently Elaine came to her saying that she is feeling pregnancy symptoms, and Amaya says "No shit, that girl is lying" We later see Froylan coming back telling us that Elaine broke him the news that she is expecting their child, everyone "forcefully" congratulates him tho they didn’t want to, but Amaya doesn’t and says that Elaine is probably lying to get our sympathy, but she says she should stop doubting her telling her that she isn’t any better than him

After a few while, still in shock by the weird news, Felix approaches us, he says that he doesn’t know but Elaine is just a liar saying that he was informed that she goes to some weird looking department store, and she buys weird things as if one would for a mass genocide, we ask Elaine what is wrong with her, she says she is the most innocent woman in existence saying that both Los Perros and Cobras Azuis Are her enemies but says that she once wanted to join Los Perros because she heard that they had attractive and sexually active men but she dropped this, Manuel feeling suspicions from her said "None of you deserve one and another". Elaine sighs as she did expect that. After that Braxton comes to us saying that he heard that Felix was crushing on him, Manuel says yea it was true, and Braxton teases him and says "Avail the offer, he is hotter than Froy anyways" Amaya and Lovisa agree to that. After that, we find out that in Panama there has been a clash between Los Perros and Cobras Azuis who was violated a festival dedicated to furries, so we head there
