Brian Knight/Arcs

Page Explanation

Please direct suggestions/questions/comments/jokes my way or join in editing, feel free (: -n

This subpage contains timestamps of the Arcs / major events and storylines happening in each Brian Knight Episode. Additional content for comedic shorts, in a sense, can be found perusing Mehdi's clips. Intention is for the ability to pull data as desired: timestamps provided here are chosen specifically for YouTube editor and for a YouTube audience. More arcs and comedic shorts can be found in hidden text (not all are displayed on default page view).

Please note that Arcs will overlap; they are not singular storylines independent of others generally in the same timeframe. If there is a significant overlap, the content will be repeated in all Arcs. If there is only a slight overlap, I will either refer to the Arc or Short in the vod link list or not at all. There are multiple ways to display the flood of information from Mehdi's vods; this is just the way I've chosen that makes it readable.

Courtesy of Rancid, a link converter (for converting initial vod links to highlight given the new ID and time difference) is available: visit https://repl.it/@RancidSwine/VOD-Link-Converter

Order of sections = oldest on top with the newest on bottom. (Identifying section discretion - ordered by time within.)

Most links, unless otherwise stated, are initial vod links and not highlight. These links will expire 2 months from creation. If editing with these, and the links no longer work (over 2 months), subtract about 15 minutes from the time and update the video ID to appropriate # ID to reflect the highlight. The correct ID can be found on the main Brian wiki page via the episode number provided here.

*Note, I watch the vods at 2x speed and jump/skim through them a bit - there is a high likelihood I miss some material. -n*

**Internal PD family conflict leads to drawn guns and uniformed members cuffed by their own. / A series of events spark a PD war, leading to internal police shootouts.**

Main theme: Conflict comes to a point in the LS police department family - from differing beliefs and relationship stances, guns are drawn and officers are cuffed by their own. Pred supposedly cheated / was reported for sexual harassment, which lead to investigation by Soze - Andrews sought to protect his 'son'. A TV show aired just earlier also exposed Pred and Angel stabs McClane (?). The PD is effectively split into two. Which side will Brian take?

Brian even flies in a helicopter solo - at one point, he and Angel camp out on a helipad overlooking the city. They stock on armor and guns/ammo, consider hiring Ramee for his LMG, then fly through the mountains on the hunt for the rest of the PD. Ramee is promised immunity for the usage of his LMG and assistance. Suddenly, another chopper is spotted following close behind - shit! Ramee is picked up from the roof of the Mega Mall and directed to shoot the other chopper. The gunman fires as Angel swerves to miss the returning fire. They need to restock. Chang is picked up from the penitentiary. At one place Chang stores some equipment, Brian and Angel poke at finding CG's stash. Restocked, they lift back into the air then land nearby. On foot, they take some high ground and aim their class 2s. A stolen car later, with Chang in the driver's seat, they perform police drive-bys on Soze and his group. Chaos while vulturing.

Soze's mangled body is thrown into the trunk of the stolen car and another cop is shot of his motorbike. On the road again, another cop shot in a car. Bargaining back and forth in the car as Soze attempts to woo Chang Gang to his side. Grandma's house. CG take control. Brian is interrogated about the radio channel of CG he infiltrated a few days ago. Soze continues attempting to barter his escape. Brian says he's never lied. The map shows the other cops as almost to the house. Mayhem in the house, they all suddenly decide to work together to combat the approaching threat. Wait, where is Soze?! Fuck! Ramee and Chang want immunity and 10 clips heavy ammo each.

Brian, Angel, Chang, and Ramee decide to leave the house base and find a new car. Nevermind, same car, but 'fixed'. Later, truck acquired. To Mission Row for heavy ammo yay! Actually, probably not, might not be a good idea... Pillbox. Karen joins. [Drifting around the city, the group shots happily at all cops in sight; new PD players are incredibly confused.] Car swap again. Multiple shootouts still. Restock. The five camp down at the docks.

Over the radio, Soze yells he's bringing an army. The group claims their positions and readies for battle. A truck shows, Brian shoots down an occupant. Chang and Brian team up in a car outside and push another officer, only to go down a few moments after. Beanbag OP. Nah, they seem fine, it's all goog. Back in the car, they call Karen for armor and oxy. They smoke some joints. Karen comes with the reinforcements. Soze arrives with Curtis and more shots fired. New location discussed for a fun shootout area.

RP switches to paintball with real guns. Restocks on materials. It's the same group with Brian: himself, Chang, Ramee, Angel, Karen. Opposing: Soze, Mel, etc.

Together, they plan a set up for the following day: Brian is to be undercover and pretend to be a delivery driver for McAfee's group. Something about blowing up EMS. Brian practices his accent and cover story.

Main theme: Brian pulls in Boris as a CI to gather information on Conan Clarkson and his potential Russian background. Brian visits prison to speak to a DOC personnel: he requests Boris be silently let free in minimal time given, and that Boris be let known that the "Witcher" (Brian himself) pushed for his early release.

Boris tells Brian of his interactions with Conan. Apparently Conan is a problem with Boris - he also tried to sell a carbine to Boris at least twice. Brian says he wants the information in order to fuck Conan over - Boris appears happy with this answer. (Brian in reality wants the source, not Conan, who's not the source.) Brian further sets up his CI relationship with Boris. Diplomatic immunity requested by Boris - Brian will consider, and says perhaps more intel / a help with a set up would be required for that. They part ways peacefully.

#### **[ARC] - A Witcher**

SIR BRIAN WITCHER DARK KNIGHT ARC

**A Witcher in Los Santos - Brian dones the appearance of a Witcher.**

Main theme: In ManBearPig Arc, Brian dones the appearance of a Witcher to try to catch ManBearPig. He maintains this resemblance for several days. Mayor Eugene anointed a name for Brian: "Sir Brian Witcher Dark Knight". Ah hell ya!! [Enables RP for others]

Story: [Ep 30 - Ep 38]

#### **[ARC] - Joining SFIB**

JOINING THE FIB ARC

**Brian and Lauren Forcer join the FIB (RP equivalent of FBI). Well, at least a group that says they're the FIB... / Brian and Sheriff Lauren Forcer join the FBI department. Something seems a little off, though...**

*Arc intermixes with Rouge Conan Arc, Russian Arc, and ManBearPig Arc.*

Main theme: Brian takes his new "promotion" into the FIB department seriously: he completes the missions and assignments provided. Oh, and keep this a secret: it's actually CG in disguise.

Ripley learns of Brian's involvement with this suspicious group; he questions Brian and the legitimacy.

Brian continues on his assigned missions. The FIB even help the PD in catching ManBearPig.

FIB call about another mission: Conan goes rogue, holds Mack hostage, then skids off in his cruisor. Some PD join the FIB man (actually Chang in disguise) in the chase for the lone park ranger. Winchester introduces himself on comms: he's actually FIB. Will Chang's cover be blown? Conan is caught. What's going to happen to him now?

Brian speaks with FIB agent Winchester, who asks questions.

Lauren is finally awake same time: Brian gets a chance to update her on his FIB latest missions and Conan. Forcer says the usb she gave the FIB fell into the wrong hands and they now need to retrieve it. Forcer's location is requested over the radio; she provides it, then Brian hops on the radio and says they were in a 10-69. They cannot let on these secretive FIB duties, yet this was the excuse and cover Brian choose... HR time called by Andrews and Tribble. On the car drive to Mission Row, Brian and Lauren talk more about the investigations with the FIB. Brian states his doubt for the legitimacy of the FIB members, referencing the reactions of known PD officers. But the FIB do still seem to check out...

In the HR meeting, Lauren decides it's better to go with the ERP story than tell the truth or make another story. Anxious, they both tell their fake story of ERP. Andrews and Tribble are stumped on what to do... it stays awkward. Andrews orders Brian to clean himself up and shave his hippie hair.

#### **[ARC] - Half ManBearPig**

SEARCH FOR MANBEARPIG / PROTECTING THE MAYOR / A POTENTIAL CLONE WAR ARC

**With the intelligence provided by Eugene, Brian and the former search for ManBearPig, who poses a threat to Los Santos. / Brian joins the mayor, Eugene, along with some other citizens of LS, on the hunt for ManBearPig.**

*Arc intermixes with Rouge Conan Arc and Russian Arc.*

Main theme: Choi becomes concerned as Brian and Eugene chase a creature known as ManBearPig within Los Santos. As Mayor Eugene's security detail, this poses a problem. At one point, they decide they need a Witcher. Hence Brian dresses as one. Eugene encourages Brian to take more coke - the plan works! They catch ManBearPig. No he gets back up! How the hell?! On the run again! A man goes down, Choi is notified and consulted on how to kill the seemingly unkillable ManBearPig. Skeptical, Choi questions Brian and Dark's sanity. While they debate, Brian admits he took cocaine earlier. Dark throws his hands up and walks away; gonna be hard to argue now, especially as they already have to convince her Eugene's sane...as Choi starts to head back to Pillbox, Dark and Brian both mutter, "witch." More random theories discussed. More chaos.

So knife didn't work, bullets didn't work, maybe aids will? Fuck! The creature gets back up, about 9 people chasing him. Bat doesn't work. Getting run over doesn't work. Some more shit doesn't work. Aids seem to finally get him. But Eugene has aids now? Choi arrives. Uh, no ManBearPig though, where did he go?!

The following day, ManBearPig is seen again! Same antics. Brian manages to get a vile of the creature's blood: he and Eugene try to convince Claire/Yennifer to analyze the fluid. Now the three think they're being followed. And ManBearPig is being controlled. Claire/Yennifer is offered 5k to sleep with ManBearPig to gather intel. Can she infect him with aids? She's not too keen on these ideas. What, what's her benefit, Claire/Yennifer wonders. She wants a meaningful relationship with Eugene. Now Eugene's the one not too keen. They plan to reconvene later.

Notification that ManBearPig is at bus station in cuffs. On arrival, he breaks out of them and runs off grunting. What follows is a very long foot chase. Caught, the creature seems to stay down, and as the group decides what to do next, another ManBearPig!!! Wtf! There's two! And Conan knows more than he originally told of ManBearPig...he's now on the opposing side.

They decide to bring in Buddha. Brian's slight addiction to cocaine becomes present when Eugene mentions he has some. Buddha shows, Brian threatens warrants if he doesn't work with them. Buddha has a voodoo doll... So if they cannot kill ManBearPig, they will attempt to contain it, or at least give it to the next city for them to deal with. Brian, Eugene, Buddha, and Saab prep for meeting Conan. Brian is to meet him alone.

Conan brings Mack and wants to know what Brian's plan is with ManBearPig and why Brian's with Eugene, Buddha, and Saab. The plan works, Conan and Mack are ambushed. Eugene gets a chance to make his point along with Brian: ManBearPig must go down. Conan, manically laughing, disagrees. What does Conan want? Why does he want multiples of ManBearPig? Brian and Conan banter and threaten each other.

Eugene picks up Conan and walks off the side of the parking lot top carrying him. Welp they're both dead most likely. Brian races to the bottom: Eugene is immobile and Conan is nowhere to be seen. Conan sends a text about the world ending. Well this is all reassuring. Hey, the FIB could help! EMS arrives for Eugene. German scientist arrives.

Brian questions the German scientist, Hans, about Conan. At Pillbox, they wait for Eugene's ambulance and treatment. German scientist checked for wires: he's the guy Conan wants to clone him more ManBearPigs. Perhaps bring the FIB into this?

LB stab Hans as Brian looks the other way.

ManBearPig and Conan are tracked to Humane Labs. LSPD breaches. The FIB show to assist in the operation - Chang's FIB mask pretends to be...Chang. (Brian doesn't know this is Chang at this point.) A standoff. Can they come to an agreement? The mayor Eugene shows. LB offer to harbor ManBearPig in their house and contain him from the rest of Los Santos. ManBearPig escapes! A horde of people frantically chase after. ManBearPig found swimming. Heli circles overhead, who's in that? FIB. ManBearPig on the loose and run again. Captured, given to LB. Escapes again. ManBearPig is presumably left safely with LB. Eugene and Brian discuss how this looks for Eugene's mayor job/campaign and how to spin it. Brian gets knighted!

#### **[ARC] - Rouge Conan**

ROUGE CONAN / A CLONE WAR ARC

**Conan starts acting weird, including harboring weapons which should go in the evidence locker and randomly speaking Russian. He then goes fully rouge and announces he's starting the Clone Wars.**

*Arc intermixes with W Arc, Russian Arc, and FIB Arc.*

During one FIB mission, Brian lets on he tazed a Russian woman multiple times and she said some weapons were coming from a mole within the police department. She also mentions Clarkson's name. Brian gave these weapons to Ripley and didn't tell anyone else, as there's this mole to consider. The next day, Brian planned to discuss with Conan. During the ManBearPig hunt, Conan starts randomly speaking Russian. Later, Brian finds out Conan is holding onto some interesting weapons. And later, when a new mission is being doled out by the FIB agent, Conan freaks out and takes Mack hostage, going on the run soon thereafter.

Alone with Andrews now, Brian debriefs his superior on the super secret Russian mission which now also involves Conan. They plan to catch the big fish and let Conan go about his life with no-one tipping him off he's under heavy investigation. Winchester, Lauren, and Brian all proceed with an agreement of confidentiality.

Brian pulls in Boris as a CI to gather information on Conan Clarkson and his potential Russian background. Brian visits prison to speak to a DOC personnel: he requests Boris be silently let free in minimal time given, and that Boris be let known that the "Witcher" (Brian himself) pushed for his early release.

Boris tells Brian of his interactions with Conan. Apparently Conan is a problem with Boris - he also tried to sell a carbine to Boris at least twice. Brian says he wants the information in order to fuck Conan over - Boris appears happy with this answer. (Brian in reality wants the source, not Conan, who's not the source.) Brian further sets up his CI relationship with Boris. Diplomatic immunity requested by Boris - Brian will consider, and says perhaps more intel / a help with a set up would be required for that. They part ways peacefully.

While investigating the Terra group, Brian's phone rings - it's Conan! "You don't know what you started: a war. You won't be able to win. (?) And you won't do anything about it."

Is he involved with the Russian Arc? Answer = no. He just thinks he's a Russian agent and wants to start the Clone Wars.
Also during the debriefing in the Russian Arc, Brian learns Conan's antics of trying to sell guns to Boris and the Russians at the docks (these Russians not related to Russians in Russian Arc btw) is known to the PD already. They're aware of this activity, yet are still in investigation.

Brian and Forcer decide to continue investigating. Plan in place, codeword "milk." Turns out AJ was listening to the conversation. He's brought in along with McClane. To the lighthouse they go. On arrival, Conan and Brian face off. On the pier, Conan rambles about oath and shit. Then he yells, "attack!" 2 ManBearPigs emerge from the trees and aim for Brian. Milk, milk! Tazers, shots, running, dodging, chaos. Holy shit! Lauren manages to get photograph evidence.

Back on the road, Brian explains the ManBearPig Arc and its connection. Lauren suggests a sting operation.

Brian, AJ, Forcer, and Baas start their sting. Baas dresses as a yeti. Name: Factor Zero. Nah, Project Genesis. They need to figure out a way to lure Conan into their trap. They decide to use the German language within Grandma's house. Sie sprechen Deutsch. Conan kommt, und der Plan beginnt. Baas the Yeti shows and Conan attempts to tame him. Conan now wants the Yeti for lab tests. Oh shit the 2 ManBearPigs chase everyone again!! Brian quickly climbs a water tower. More tasing. More chaos. Conan coaxes the ManBearPigs to climb the tower while carrying Forcer and Brian. Yeti joins up top. He takes a selfie then instructs them all down. Brian gets stuck in the Yeti's fur. Off in a car now.

Then more chasing, tasers, chaos. Medical personnel now included. Brian takes a selfie and says it's a final W over Conan's motionless body (still alive though). Alone, Brian and Lauren try to decide who gets the W and then decide what to do next with Conan. They're notified of a talking ManBearPig in the hospital and head over. Then notified of more escapees. Car crash, back to Pillbox.

At PD, Brian, psychiatrist Thalia Hayes, and psychiatrist Pixie Plum lock themselves in a room with Conan in order to question him. As the questioning concludes, Brian hits Conan on the back of the head out of sight of the others. Conan was playing the psychiatrists! Conan taken to Pillbox. Group hug.

#### **[ARC] - Russian Mystery**

SECRET RUSSIAN / TERRAGROUP AND THE COUNCIL / WEAPON EXPORTATION ARC

**Stemming from an FIB mission, Brian is introduced to a deep investigation concerning that of a dangerous Russian organization.**

Stemming from an FIB mission, Brian is introduced to a deep investigation concerning that of a dangerous Russian organization.

*Arc intermixes with FIB Arc, ManBearPig Arc (slightly), CI Arc, and Rouge Conan Arc. As these Arcs prelude this one, read those for an introduction.*

*This Russian Arc bears close resemblance and references to the action RP game "Escape from Tarkov".*

*This section contains answers and 'explanations' to the puzzles within this Russian mystery. If you wish to solve the puzzles yourself, I have placed the answers within collapsible segments so you may scroll freely w/o worry of a spoiler. Some puzzles, such as audio files, I currently do not have included. Plus I do not have originals of everything, note.*

* *multiple photos, at least 2 unlisted YouTube videos, at least 1 audio file. Some photos included here. Document images not shown here currently*

Brian, Forcer, and Tribble debrief together their pieces of this intertwined and massive puzzle. Forcer begins, telling of a photo of a PD SWAT AR sent by a Jacob De Stanta Storm. There are 2 groups: Terragroup and The Council. The Terragroup seems to be the master over the other. The Council works outside of Los Santos borders and gives items to Terragroup, who are based in Russia. The Council is comprised of dispensable members / puppets - they have recently been giving PD some info: it is thought that Terra holds something over The Council member's heads / some sort of blackmail and they seek PD's help w/o alerting Terragroup. Storm is determined to be a middleman between FIB, PD, and The Council. Lauren has a connection to a private chatroom with the name MitchTV: usernames within are just strings of numbers. Clues are dropped in this chatroom, which Forcer has been tracking and documenting.

Forcer continues to share what she knows. The usb she mentioned to Brian earlier also is brought back as a topic: she must retrieve the lost usb and return it to Storm within one week in order to maintain contact and an influx of clues from the Council. Where is the usb? The FIB agents have it. Wtf? We need to speak with Worchester to get this usb back.

Worchester walks in and joins them. Storm had reached out to him first: it seemed to just be local PD issues at first.

Brian gives his perspective. The FIB, or men who appeared to be FIB, contacted Brian and Forcer and stated they needed access to the PD evidence locker, which was not provided. The following day, the FIB told Brian they had satellite images of a Russian deal taking place in a scrapyard south side. Peering from a bridge, Brian, along with the FIB agents, noticed a woman moving material in the trunk of a car. Once apprehended, 3 broken guns with serial numbers were discovered in her possession. Brian lets on he tazed the woman multiple times and she said some of the weapons were coming from a mole within the police department. She also mentions Clarkson's name. Brian gave these weapons to Ripley and didn't tell anyone else, as there's this mole to consider. The next day, Brian planned to discuss with Conan. During the ManBearPig hunt, Conan starts randomly speaking Russian. Later, Brian finds out Conan is holding onto some interesting weapons. And later, when a new mission is being doled out by the FIB agent, Conan freaks out and takes Mack hostage, going on the run soon thereafter.

Phone rings - it's Conan! "You don't know what you started: a war. You won't be able to win. (?) And you won't do anything about it."

Forcer says she's started adding her intel to the specified investigation folder. Back to Brian's story: Conan eventually ends up in ICU. Has Conan lost his mind? Or maybe he is an arms dealer? Brian tells of Boris' statements. And yesterday, Chang and others were caught in a hostage situation - weapons were left in the Dojo. These weapons went missing. Conan was found with weapons. So is Conan one of the minds? Or just a puppet, being used?

Forcer checks her chatroom - Brian logs in as well. They search for "526970736177," the same numbers found in a picture. The user under that # has a skull for a profile. No messages from this account to Brian, but Forcer is in contact. OH SHIT RP transcends into Mehdi's stream chat and the user with that aforementioned # as a name says: "Hello Brian. You may call me Ripsaw." Communication switches to private chat for Mehdi and Ripsaw. Conan doesn't seem to be related to this Council. Is this place bugged?! Now it's Brian and Forcer debating what to do. Ripsaw says that if the PD helps, exportation of weapons will slow down / cease in the Norvinsk region. Forcer reads aloud a response to her: the initials of a man is JB, who may be mute and hung out a bit with Mel Rickenbacker. They leave the PD building in search of Winchester.

**PUZZLES A + B:**

"54 68 65 72 65 20 69 73 20 6e 6f 20 64 69 73 63 6f 72 64 2c 20 6f 6e 6c 79 20 74 72 65 6d 62 6c 65 2e 20 56 6b 46 48 63 31 5a 69 55 67 3d 3d"

"Ripsaw out"

"To solve the last part, B= 8,2,2,2= ?"

*Click "Expand" to view the process taken to achieve answer.*

[Ripsaw posts in Mehdi's chat hexadecimal: "54 68 65 72 65 20 69 73 20 6e 6f 20 64 69 73 63 6f 72 64 2c 20 6f 6e 6c 79 20 74 72 65 6d 62 6c 65 2e 20 56 6b 46 48 63 31 5a 69 55 67 3d 3d" "Ripsaw out" "To solve the last part, B= 8,2,2,2= ?"

First part translation hexadecimal to text: "**There is no discord, only tremble. VkFHc1ZiUg==**"

Second part translation Base64 to text: "VkFHc1ZiUg==" > "**VAGsVbR**"

The puzzles above lead to a Discord channel. The rules specified are simple: be civil, and do not share.

The Discord Channel name is "**Welcome Seekers**," which can be discovered by converting hexadecimal to text from: 57-65-6c-63-6f-6d-65-20-53-65-65-6b-65-72-73.

Reunited with the FIB agent, Brian and Forcer continue to discuss and decode while Worchester plays Pokémon.

Brian and Forcer are a bit distracted from this arc for a few hours (intermixing arcs all going on at once), and they keep up the ruse that they are ERPing when they want to discuss this Russian Arc and investigation/mystery.

Further, another puzzle is available. Let's label this one Puzzle C.

After some more decoding, Brian needs to talk with Forcer. While at PD, a man wants to speak with a police officer - he's looking for a camera to purchase: PD ones are nice quality. Brian talks to him, but does not give him a camera, it's not his decision he could make. The man still wants a camera and requests a superior. Damn, stuff falls out of Brian's pocket while he stands next to the man. Whoops. Oh nooo. Brian picks back up his sandwich and shit. [The man is Jacob/Afro, and Mehdi gives him a PD camera.]

Brian 311s for Lauren. Unfortunately, she's busy with a raid. But Brian can visit! They meet in a PD van a bit away from the scene. They determine there is a mole, and proceed to create a new Gurgle doc (where they are documenting their investigation) for themselves only, leaving the original one sorta like a honeypot. Lauren says some images were on the usb as well as the original Gurgle doc. There are differing streams of information. Different sources, same traitor intel? Maybe it's just a coincidence. Oh, the usb contained the file of the original Gurgle doc, which has the chat logs given earlier from Forcer (see image in here entitled "Forcer's Ripsaw Chat Log"). Since the FIB (well fake FIB) managed to get the usb, it is quite possible they discovered the code and decrypted it, therefore learning of a traitor. That would explain it.

Brian calls Forcer again. She states the chat logs were not on the usb when the FIB were in possession of it. Fuck, so much for that theory...coincidence best theory again.

**SPOILER:**

Let's stop for a moment and recap this story thus far, providing some more information than Brian even knows.

*Click "Expand" to read.*

First, this FIB is not real. It's a few Chang Gang members posing as agents to complete the group SFIB. I'll refer to them as SFIB from here on out; prior will remain FIB as that is Brian's belief. Forcer, a few days ago, gave the SFIB a usb drive. This drive originated from the Russians and this Terragroup story arc and contains information on weapon deals in LS, some pictures, a document, and secret videos: the weapons acquired and exported to Russia. The document specifies at least 2 explosions (boat and gas station) already having occurred in LS related to these Russians (Brian had no involvement in these). The Council wants to stop this activity. Terragroup video: Ep 28: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/530947022?t=6h47m48s Tarkov relation.

The SFIB approached Brian and Forcer with a mission and let on that there is a mole in the PD selling high-end PD weapons. To Brian and Forcer, the SFIB are the real FIB. Later, another SFIB mission: intercept a weapon deal of a Russian woman - Brian does so, and the woman drops a name, that of Conan Clarkson. This is a part of separate arcs (FIB/SFIB and Rouge Conan) and is not sourced from this Russian Arc. In the trunk of her car were 3 broken PD weapons. These weapons were acquired by Brian and given to Ripley, who also notices the SFIB. Brian contacts Winchester, a real FIB agent, and connects him to the SFIB. It is unknown at this time if Winchester is dubious of the SFIB members authenticity or if he has any investigations going on them himself.

Brian told his superior Andrews this whole story, of what he knows. He is instructed to work with Forcer, Winchester, and the SFIB to further investigate: they are to keep this investigation confidential.

Enter Ripsaw in Mehdi's chat; he says the usb needs to be returned. The last known holders of this usb drive: the SFIB. Lauren is the main one tasked with this mission by The Council contact - she is given a timeline to retrieve the usb or she is cut off from the intel. Here comes the coincidence: when the SFIB were briefing Brian and Forcer, they told of a mole with PD and department weapons exportation. This message matches almost exactly the one decoded in Ripsaw's / The Council's first puzzles. Forcer confirms via a phone call with Brian the usb, when the SFIB were in possession of it, did not contain the chat logs that lead to the decoded messages. These are multiple arcs intermixed, and a crazy coincidence.

The following morning, Brian wakes up to a new message from Ripsaw: "Congratulations, you are now an associate of The Council. Await further messages. Ripsaw out."

Brian and Lauren meet again under the pretense of ERP. Forcer tells of her night: she figured out the puzzles, scoured the Discord channel, and paid a translator to read the Russian into English. The PD radio channel lights up after Brian calls himself "Ocean King" and that he's "doing it." Another HR meeting maybe soon. Forcer sends over the newer document, in which she has placed updated notes. She also talked to Ripsaw: she's no longer compromised. Unknown though if they both are allowed to work together.

Promotions for Brian and Forcer considered by The Council as seen in Discord channel: Seekers > Associates. Brian takes a look at the additions to the document.

New message from Ripsaw: "As long as information stays between the proper officials, yes, oh and if there are some of them who treat it as a joke, have them removed."

Ripsaw posts in Mehdi's chat: "Mr. Knight. Have either you or Ms. Forcer informed any of the proper officials to share the information about our situation?" "We also have made a coded message that you or Ms. Forcer can give to potential candidates." "If anyone uses the code that isn't authorized, they will be disposed of." Brian and Forcer, as well as others given the puzzle, will have to decode the puzzle individually.

Labeling this one as Puzzle D.

Looks to be another Discord server ID.

Some time passes, then a number in chat looks suspiciously similar to Ripsaw's. Log check: [2020-01-11 00:46:49 UTC] 5669706572: "The Council have spoken, in 4 days time you shall see all things to come. -Viper" (Okay it seems Mehdi and the rest of Chat missed the message on post...) (Mehdi discovers it like 20 minutes later, we're good now)

Brian and Forcer rejoin. The channel names for the Discord(s) keep changing. They discuss the Ripsaw and Viper pair. A diary is mentioned by Forcer: the August 10th entry contains "Room 203".

**SIDE-TRACKED:**

Brian and Forcer find themselves sidetracked and speak on another case currently open by the CID: The Tick Tock Killer. *(Brian hasn't been super involved with this one so at the present moment I am choosing to document this within this Arc.)*
*Click "Expand" to read.*

Talk moves to the Tick Tock killer - series of murders in the observatory, thus far a separate storyline from this Russian mystery. "In order to go forward, you must go back" or something similar.

Monologue. Audio. Mask. Circumstantial evidence, nothing concrete. What to do? Time to sift through all the files again and retrace past steps...for a 6-month old case. It's being re-opened. This case tied to an older case, the Florida nuke one in investigation by the CID.

A day passes, and Forcer calls Brian into a room: she introduces the man standing next to her as Jacob Storm. Storm asks to what extent Brian is aware of the investigation: all of it so far. Brian questions if this is a test and initially refuses to tell any of his findings. Storm says, "It's best that we work together else we'll never find out who Omega is." Who?

Forcer vouches for Storm's credibility and trust. He's our Council contact and approached the PD with information before. They decide to bypass the confirmation stage and communicate. But, still with a little skepticism. Storm says another MP5 showed up. And a shotgun. Omega is the one forcing The Council to take PD weapons and export them to Russia. Storm doesn't know why The Council is doing what they are. There is apparently also reason to believe Omega is tied into Terragroup. Other than this, and the usb drive, there is no new intel right now besides the fact that PD guns are still being transferred.

The cops in LS need to report and document lost weaponry - at least then, there are places to look and analyze. Brian still thinks this whole meeting may be a test.

Some days later, Winchester calls himself, Forcer, and Brian together: "a lot of really crazy events happened." He was headed to Paleto yesterday and saw a guy who looked like a priest acting crazy and creeping in a bush with binoculars aimed at a pier. Winchester managed to get some pictures: the target of the spying was like a guy with a bright orange mask, a lady with a suit and motorcycle mask, and a dude with a purple shirt with shorts. People kept meeting with those at the pier. So Winchester only has a few photos he can share as he met earlier with The Council and gave them his phone SD card. Winchester spotted someone with an orange mask not long after and tailed him in his car. Then he also spots the purple shirt guy. Winchester stumbles on the same group from earlier, all three together on a dock. Storm says he knows the person with the motorcycle helmet is a female: apparently it's the "crazy, psycho chick who always steals cars." Storm says The Council wants to meet with Winchester, and the latter learns in his meeting with Storm that the blackmailer in all this is an ex-Council member who identifies as "Omega," the eighth split-off member. At this point in his talk the SD was transferred out of Winchester's hands by The Council member. Winchester shares his photos.

[Kiwo excuses herself from this RP as her character Mother is involved.]

Brian inquires why The Council took Winchester's photos. How are they expected to trust them, then? Wtf. Something's not right. Okay, mask color is debated: Brian argues that it's red, not orange. They used a "life preserver donut" to compare and asked Forcer her opinion. Winchester had been chatting with Viper. Winchester reads out some of the messages. Viper is the leader of The Council; he "means no harm" and wants 4 PD cameras delivered to Storm, which will expedite the direction of this activity away from Los Santos by allowing better surveillance on Omega in the near future. 2 days is the deadline, or Viper/The Council will have to obtain these particular cameras in the "unfortunate way."

Again, why the drastic change from asking for help from the PD to threatening them? So we gotta get rid of The Council, but we also need to get rid of Omega, and the best way to do that is to work with The Council, etc. Ultimate goal is Omega. A common interest exists, yet The Council is still another entity in this scenario. Brian and Winchester discuss displays of control. Forcer mentions the lack of respect and the miscommunication from The Council. Yet there remains the mystery that the PD doesn't know exactly the arsenal each party has - it's unknown the power available, so they must be careful.

Winchester elaborates on his first meeting with this conflict: Storm met him and looped him in. Winchester initially found him far-fetched and a bit of a loony-tunes. The agent then brought in Forcer as she was one of the next department members he saw.

How do we really know everyone is who they say they are? Storm? Only reliable source thus far is Ripsaw, and communication has been sparse. How do we know Storm isn't working for Omega? Etc. Per Winchester, Viper's messages with The Council's meeting confirms Storm's identity.

Brian says they ought to send a strongly-worded message to The Council, who is overstepping their line.

A uniformed officer, Svenson, approaches from the steps: the trio tell a story that Brian and Forcer were ERPing and Winchester was videoing. The guy doesn't seem convinced, and states he has been listening for a while. They try to keep up the story. Finally, Svenson leaves.

The next day, Brian meets with Forcer. They exchange a map with written notes on Russian activity.

Ripsaw again posts in Mehdi's chat: "Mr. Brian, this is Ripsaw. Are you there?" "If you haven't done so Mr. Brian, please refer to the партнеры channel."

Within this new channel, Brian is to choose a codename of his choosing. Brian asks if he can ask a few questions. Response: "Go ahead."

Is Jacob Storm trustable? He is. Did Winchester meet someone actually from the Council? As far as he is aware, Winchester did not meet with someone from The Council. Why the sudden hostility with the cameras? They are imperative for the mission. More questions and answers are available via the image on the right.

Throughout the day, Brian notices the Reverend following him quietly. While speaking to someone at the PD, Brian confronts the man as he is caught staring through the window. Introducing himself as Father Joseph Adams, the Reverend and Brian have a short conversation, in which Brian confronts about his creeping antics of today and inquires for his number. It is determined Brian is to tweet to ask for the Reverend's attention in the future. As soon as the introductory talk concludes, Brian attempts to speak with Forcer: this is the same man as seen in the photos provided by Winchester!

Talk moves to the Tick Tock killer - series of murders in the observatory, thus far a separate storyline from this Russian mystery.

Brian and Forcer meet at the CID building to exchange new information. A note: "666, the blood of these men and women are on your Hands. You are not ready. You were never ready. Look back to go forward." They put on a show for Pred, who's nearby.

Brian sees the Reverend in the PD and learns the Reverend apparently just saved someone. Next to the Reverend is a man who introduces himself as Gemini(?), who is with the mayor's office of internal affairs unit. This man has an orange/red and black mask. So what happened, according to them: they brought a man with gunshot wounds to the hospital, Doug Canada(?)- the masked man now wants to make a report, as the Reverend had dipped quickly. Brian questions this new internal affairs unit of Eugene's.

A few minutes later, the Reverend shows and asks Brian, "If it were possible for stars to fall, what would they be made out of?" "Atoms..." "Interesting," the Reverend rambles on language. "There are a lot of black holes in the city consuming everything around them without giving much back." Holding his finger to his lips to indicate secrecy, the Reverend briskly walks back to his vehicle and drives away.

Early the following morning, Brian and Forcer meet. She explains that after she told The Council she would be unable to provide them with the PD cameras they requested, they replied that she wouldn't be contacted anymore. Forcer gave the argument to continue working together for the sake of Omega, and the reply to this was "Ripsaw. Stay in touch". But it was Viper who was chatting - maybe Viper and Ripsaw have beef! Brian gives his points. What if one of these is Omega?!

Brian mentions his interactions with the Reverend. Forcer pulls up some old reports on the Reverend. Public announcement. Who's running this investigation? Who's at the helm? Winchester spotted! Tribble too. They move to the office.

Talk moves to the Tick Tock killer - series of murders in the observatory, thus far a separate storyline from this Russian mystery.

Brian, Forcer, Winchester, Tribble, Dark. David Webb name. Reports need updated, etc. Dark is thrown out so the topic can converge to the Russian Arc.

ERP act continues. Discord has been wiped? Pervy priest discussed (Reverend). Brian and Forcer want to know the secrecy level of this investigation at this current time. Due to the differing sources, it's difficult to determine the preferred extent of the disclosure. Winchester says the public service memo was meant for the safety of the officers - other information has been de-escalated. Winchester wants to set straight that the PD does not accept these latest threats from The Council: this is our home.

Forcer wants to involve Snow regarding the people in the photo of the dock and the SD card loss. Brian remarks on the creepiness and weirdness of the Reverend. Forcer says this same man was spotted fleeing in the same taxi cab as - she doesn't finish her sentence. Winchester says the guy's name is "Reverend IM Boland"(?), which differs from the name Brian was given yesterday (Joseph Adams). Maybe this ID with "Adams" was stolen? [Or scuff?] Multiple stabbings related to this Reverend recently, says Forcer. Dark web connected. Winchester calls it the "evil internet". Tie to the Russians? Brian explains.

Forcer returns to her story on Snow recognizing someone in Winchester's photo of the dock meeting: the man in the red mask is Funnyman, otherwise known as Jacob Storm. WTF, now Brian really wants his red string investigative visual.

Talk resumes on the stolen SD photos. There's something of interest here, especially as Winchester was told he could have his photos back in an effort by The Council to show good faith, save a few very specific photos about the "meeting about people". Investigation here could rely on Winchester's memory: which photo is missing game.

Suddenly, Winchester makes a revelation - "if that's Jacob Storm, I may have made a mistake..." Storm was the first person Winchester approached with his photos. So Storm obviously knows the PD had those photos in their possession. Paranoia sets in: for all we know, Viper is Omega? Who is Omega?! What if they're just fucking with us?! Gotta be careful about information sharing.

The end goal focus for the PD: move this mess away from LS, and with increasing priority as it has brought violence into the city. There needs to be a limit set on the extent the PD will assist and provide resources.

Back to the beef with Viper / Ripsaw. Winchester, same as Forcer, had informed Viper he would not be able to provide the cameras as requested from the PD pool. USEC mentioned: a private military contractor group in the Novinsk region. Apparently PD cameras are the only ones that are resilient enough to not erode in the conditions in which The Council needs them. Winchester has been bargaining with other PD equipment. Offer from The Council: 4 PD cameras for "a piece or a couple pieces plus the SD card back, minus some photos". Even with just the removed photos, Winchester still has a chance to remember details of the missing ones if returned.

Brian realizes he has seen the guy in purple before [Mehdi continues to debate if he should devolve] - he was the guy in PD a few days ago asking for a PD camera. Apparently the memo actually clarifies to be on the watch for people asking for PD equipment, and Brian gets chastised. Well he saw Jacob before the memo was released. Some funny dialogue about time continuum later, Brian explains he just now remembered and that's why he didn't say right after the publish of the memo.

Brian really wants his picture board. Wait, what are they gonna do with the PD cameras anyway? :)At PDM, the Reverend approaches Brian. He wants justice for Bryce pulling a bat on Tessa. Brian's a bit distraught at the moment though, because he just betrayed Bryce.

**SIDE-TRACKED:**

Brian speaks on another case currently open by the CID: The Tic Toc Killer. *(Brian hasn't been super involved with this one so at the present moment I am choosing to document this within this Arc.)*
*Click "Expand" to read.*

Talk moves to the Tick Tock killer - series of murders in the observatory, thus far a separate storyline from this Russian mystery.

Apparently Conan was texted "Tic Toc" by Bovice. Conan's report indicating as such is #2064. Related? Or a coincidence? Plus the person who shot Davenport tweeted "#BoviceWorld".

Interesting, at least.

Brian stands just outside Integrity a few days later, chatting with some individuals. The man earlier identified as Storm approaches suddenly and bluntly asks where the usb is. The level of secrecy is under question - why ask right in front of popular apartments and right next to Boe?

Brian doesn't initially answer, and states Lauren supposedly took care of it. Well the problem is getting worse every day. Brian still wonders why they're talking in such a public place. Phone number given to Storm. Ripsaw seems to have given Storm instructions not to talk to Brian. Brian plays this scenario like it's about Storm's sextape. Boe may or may not be involved already. The three part ways.

A few weeks go by.

In a hallway in Pillbox, Brian stands by as Winchester and Baas discuss the consequences of Storm's death - who the PD have by now identified as the same man known as Funnyman. The mysterious man died just hours earlier after sustaining fatal injuries from a shootout.

The Council apparently put out a half million dollar on a bounty for the cop who delivered the final shots to Storm. "All talk, no action," says Baas. As Winchester and Baas continue to chat some more about the group's presence in the city, Brian realizes they haven't made much progress beyond what he and Forcer had discovered.

Earlier, former Chief Raven had been kidnapped. It was the subsequent shootout that led to Funnyman's demise. Why was he killed? Who knows, believes Winchester. There is now a threat on all 8 officers referenced in the shootout report under ID "18220". One of these 8 officers will be targeted, if not more. Baas skims over the report and mentions with surprise that the Ballas were involved.

A common meeting place for The Council members is the golf course - thought to be a neutral place. Also the cafe.

So what to do, says Baas - "How do we fight what doesn't exist?"

"Gotta figure it out, right now it's just sharing the word," returns Winchester.

Head Command is aware of the latest status of this investigation.

Quite a while later, Ripsaw makes contact - he can afford a plane ticket to LS now.

Bo tells Brian of a traumatizing incident from his past Brian didn't know about it. Mask kidnapped him and tortured him. 15 victims, DC dead: observatory. Mask was tic toc killer, says Tucker. But no one did anything about this info, Bo says. Apparently key people in that investigation went MIA. Brian says he wasn't a key investigator in that case. Brian makes a connection, that's why Mask was giving his spiel that one day that no one cared! Brian paces on the heli pad.

After some time of silence from Cadet Toretti, a private number rings Brian - "I need your help," a dejected, quiet and monotone voice of Toretti's is heard. Shortly thereafter, a masked voice calls from another private number: "Check the water left of Paleto."

On scene, a group of uniformed officers scour the area for potentially Toretti's body. There is no sign of any activity however, and a nearby boat is found abandoned. Thermals? A helicopter's engine is revved up and the search light is turned on, the flickering beam sweeping over the waves.

The cadet spotted! Brian leans out from the open door of the helicopter and splashes into the water next to Toretti's body. He pulls him into a police boat and they motor back to land. EMS makes contact: he's breathing but his pulse is low. Duo Brian and Francis follow the ambulance to Pillbox and await the doctor's determination. After some care, Toretti begins to speak again.

An hour and a half later, a private number calls: It's a GSF member. Grove went after Toretti?! The member indicates he took the money and hit off Brian's head.

#### **[ARC] - Piss Daddy**

**Brian begins investigation of the Vanilla Unicorn strip club, soon after Pimp acquires part ownership. A second income for supplement, the lure of the club draws Brian in and he quickly finds himself at the VU every morning.**

Brian begins investigation of the Vanilla Unicorn strip club, soon after Pimp acquires part ownership. The lure of the club draws Brian in and he quickly finds himself at the VU every morning, enjoying the amenities before his work shift for the day. Needing to supplement his income to continue his desired visits with the VU, as his meager cop paycheck isn't enough to cover his new addiction, broke Brian seeks a part-time job as a taxi driver for the Red Rooster Cab company.

Although he passes his interview for a cab driver position, Brian must complete a required check-up at Pillbox and pass an official driving test. Doctor Choi prescribes Brian steroids during his appointment, and Brian demonstrates the effects. He also chooses to take the steroids in a very atypical manner... Later, Brian schedules a meet with Tessa, a driving instructor in LS. Nervous, Brian shows to his driving test and successfully passes her set requirements.

Brian is hired!

Ass lice, shaves to remove. Gets acne from steroids as well. Keeps pissing on women both inside and out.

Off duty one morning, Brian wants a new car and makes his way to PDM after a visit to the VU. He's just been promoted to the full rank of officer and wants to celebrate. Low on funds, he calls up Ellie, his boss for the Rooster Cab Company - she arrives and says Brian already has access to a taxi through the company and doesn't need to pay for a new car. Cluck yea!

In a clothing store, Ellie provides Brian the specifications for the uniform - grey company shirt with the logo, red pants, red bowtie, and a rooster mask with glasses. She gives him the rundown on the company-approved phrases, and Brian goes on the cock.

First customer, doc Jason Ledson, clucking awesome. Until customer requests food. Brian's starving himself and calls up his boss Ellie to explain his dilemma. She gives him a meeting spot and he waits there with the customer still in the backseat of the taxi wondering wtf was going on. A yellow limo rolls into the parking lot - Rooster Cab +. The driver, Sully, exits the front seat dressed in the same getup as Brian. The three chat on service. Sully drops some food for Brian, who temporarily exchanges his PD AR for the burgie and slushie. Short time goes by, then they all three pile into the limo, make a quick stop at a bank, then arrive at the customer's chosen drop-off location: Garage Q. Brian makes an insane amount of money, quickly taking the title of employee of the month.

Sully gives Brian a ride back to his taxi and the two exchange numbers. Learns Gladys, Kelly, OTT, and Mr. Rodgers are blacklisted customers. Brian is excited for the rest of his shift and for his shift tomorrow.

Brian picks up Thalia and a few others at Pillbox. After dropping off her friends, Brian immediately tries to get Thalia's words on Jordan. He wants her psych records on the ex-cop and tries to connect a ocelot pariah. Thalia hints that Kayden may own one of these types of cars. Need to check her car stash, and Jean's... (see "Investigation - Murder of Kayden Dell'Anno" Arc)

#### **[ARC] - McGrawl's Murder**

Investigation with Steele - How to Get Away with Murder: Murder of Chris McGrawl

**Lawyer Chris McGrawl found himself on the opposing end of a powerful force - Brian and the PD work to identify and collect enough evidence to convict his killer.**

Some dude, lawyer Chris McGrawl, owned house, Sonya took it over time by force, Negan/bikers took it by force/gunpoint, Sonya wants money, dude works with PD as his life is threatened, mystery of bikers and Sonya relationship, valid contract discussion, must be legal investigative actions, what to do, Sonya's waiting. Decision: fake arrest the dude to collect necessary evidence to warrant further and deeper investigation (currently nothing to legally work with). Left him in a cell in MRPD, as he was freaking out, drunk, and needed a safe place to stay.

Later, while Brian is treated in Pillbox, the dude is rolled into the hospital with gunshot injuries and a lot of chaos/screaming commences. The fuck, the PD was breached? McGrawl succumbs to his wounds [permas]. Still need a case to take down Sonya. Turns out Toretti was at MRPD at the time, but may or may not have been related to the breach. Realizing they were in possession of McGrawl's phone from taking it earlier, Brian and Steele glance at a few messages before wondering if they are legally allowed to use these findings in court.

McGrawl's body is taken to the morgue, and upon the Doctor Agnes tweet for friends and family to make one last visit, 3 people, Tinker one, and Sonya show. Brian paces outside, waiting for Jordan to return [Penta was scuffed]. The visitors re-emerge from the entrance to the morgue and Brian stalls them while he waits for Steele - he gives the story that Steele can provide more information on the death to Sonya's proding questions. Steele arrives and instead flips the agenda, questioning them. At some point, Sonya says there is something else she knows but refuses to share. Jordan handcuffs her under the value of obstruction of justice.
Brian and Steele consult between themselves on the side. They decide she has a right to remain silent. Into the back of the cop car she goes, some more discussion, out of the back of the cop car she goes. Nothing to arrest her with. Steele continues questioning her with Brian listening.

They part ways, and the plan as it stands: catch her as she drives off on illegal tints on the windows or such and proceed with searching her car. Easily enough, she speeds right through two red lights. Brian and Steele check out her car, take photographs, then threaten her with the impound of her car if she refuses to let them search it. Soon, Sonya is detained along with the man who's been with her.

Brian and Steele enlist the resources of the ADA to see if they can get Sonya for murder. "The streets always know" is the message from a private number call to Steele in the middle of sharing info with the ADA. Judge shows in Pjs, she's the one they need to convince for a warrant, etc.

While transporting Sonya, she becomes defiant and Brian shoots her down. Now she's laying on the floor just outside the holding cells bleeding out. While they wait for EMS, the DA requests for McGrawl's phone number.

News travels fast in Los Santos. Oh Erin. Sonya's properties now need watched. Sonya is treated, brought back to holding cells. Sonya keeps arguing. Brian and Steele, along with the legal team and more officers, discuss more.

Tinker questioned and his phone is searched. He's let go, but told he's still a suspect in the murder of McGrawl. But then he mentions he was at MRPD, and downstairs, about the same time of the murder, with Toretti. And he's been with Sonya on/off today. He mentions more stuff, his stories aren't matching up, etc. Clap. Let's reintroduce the DA and ADA. Brian and Steele continue to piece together their puzzle of evidence to present in court.

Need casings to be picked up from the shooting from earlier for evidence for court...well apparently the evidence wasn't collected correctly. Whoops. Well there went their case LULW. All for good fun verbal cop fight on procedures.

Court. Judge Stanton decides there is not enough compelling information currently to continue to hold Sonya in jail for the duration of her trial proceedings. Judge required evidence. But it's a bail hearing. Anyway, 10% of the bail for Sonya to walk, $500,000 total bail and $50,000 paid.

Brian and Steele haul ass to Sandy Shores. They talk about Stanton's reasoning and try to understand it - then how to work with the circumstances.

The next morning, Brian gives the story to Malton. Also, what wasn't mentioned earlier in my recap was the possible inclusion of Payne Real Estate via Malton in all this. Brian also speaks with the Chief of Police Bobby and Judge Katya. Toretti questioned by Brian on yesterday's events and requested to write down his report of what happened.

Brian and Steele, who just signed into duty, talk with Bobby on the status of the investigation. Off on their own together, with permission now, they consider two avenues: first, fake a raid so a following actual raid can possibly expose returned weaponry, and two, they connect with Milton and see what happens when they ask for a house in Sandy Shores. Steele mentions that Brian should reach out to his cousin should anything happen to him [Penta's last day as Jordan].

In the courthouse they check out property information. Brian confronts Stanton why he let a murder suspect walk in the bail hearing yesterday. Apparently they didn't even need a bail hearing and could've just kept Sonya in a holding cell. DA/ADA thrown under fire by Stanton.

The duo check out the property. Nearby, Malton is responding to a store robbery and kidnapping and they stop to assist. Then Steele trips over a rock and busts open his leg. EMT arrives and takes him to Pillbox in an ambulance. Brian gives the kidnapped person, Claudia, a ride to Pillbox. Steele goes into the ICU. Brian twats that Steele might die.

Confused, Steele suddenly starts screaming to get him out of there. Brian shoves steroids up Steele's ass then quickly takes the pill back out after Ducky's intervention.

Brian meets up with the ADA, who is requesting the full current version of the report. Brian and the ADA will work together to figure out the next best steps. The involvement of Payne's real estate company, per the actions of employee Milton, will additionally be investigated in greater depth.

Two days later, as it seems adequate evidence may not be acquired, two people identifying as media approach PD and Brian, Baas, and Malton with the promise of some high-quality footage of Sonya doing illegal activity. Yet, they want compensation in money - 5k from each officer. She's still on bail (?) so this could potentially put her back in. Reviewing the video footage, an SNS pistol is seen being held by Sonya to another man who puts his hands in the air; some transactions take place as well.

Brian is approached by a woman who states she has information of use a few days later. She says McGrawl indicated injuries inflicted more than once by Murphy Braun. Brian searches for her report to the PD of the same in his MDT. She continues: the last time she spoke to him was the day he died - he was plastered. He had told her the bikers had taken his house, yet the woman cannot remember specifically if/what he mentioned about Sonya. McGrawl had been shot in the legs multiple times and instructed to give a threatening message to Sonya.

Already occupied with another investigation, Brian plans to throw his efforts into this case after the former's resolution. He tells the woman to keep this information transfer secret for now.

An incident catches Brian's attention: its close proximity to a house location related to McGrawl with shotgun evidence indicates there is a chance that shotgun might be the same as the murder weapon for McGrawl's death. May not be though, but evidence documented.

#### **[ARC] - Kayden's Murder**

Investigation - Murder of Kayden Dell'Anno'

**Kayden's body is found in the water underneath a pier and the PD collects evidence to identify her killer.**

Kayden's body is found in the water underneath a pier and the PD collects evidence to identify her killer. Brian joins in amidst his final evaluation to become an officer from the position of cadet. Kayden, in her last dying breaths, says Jordan was the culprit.

In MRPD, Malton and then Brian question Saab concerning Kayden and Jordan. Malton soon leaves to work on the investigation regarding McAfee, as time is of the essence in that respect.

Brian and Malton meet up later in the day to discuss the new findings for the investigation of Kayden's murder and McAfee's death. These two investigations are overlapping, especially per Jordan Steele. Malton shows Brian what was pulled from a raid on Kayden's property/properties.

Next day, the PD continues to pursue a murder charge for Steele. Gonna need a jury and more evidence. Pred calls Jordan for a location. Brian tells both Pred and McClane that he's certain Steele is the murderer of Kayden. Weapon is the car.

Radio comms - Netti was shot at by Steele. Juice is loose! (Reference to OJ) Big car chase. In its conclusion, Steele is shot with significant injuries by members of the PD. Brian seeks approval from Bobby for a raid of Steele's establishments: granted. Discussion held in MRPD with several PD officers on how to proceed forward with Steele currently in the ICU in investigation progress of Kayden's death.

Brian syncs back up with Malton, who informs him that he is to take primary on the Steele case. Brian can leverage Kayden's murder and work with those case notes. Then, Brian and Malton review present investigation notes with ADA Cameron DuPrey (spelling?) to consider legal opportunities for potential charges.

The ADA determines there is enough probable cause available to complete a subpoena for the medical record information regarding the death of Kayden. He doesn't suggest an investigative hold but will continue looking for charges likely to stick to press.

Anger management issues of Steele mentioned (Thalia to be contacted), other reports mentioned (these officers who created reports to be contacted), other events/people mentioned, etc.

After some more talking, ADA decides to lean more towards placing an investigative hold on Steele before he leaves the ICU. He will compile all the information that have thus far to draft up a search and seizure warrant and will also place an autopsy report request to see if there is any blood not her own discovered - as if she fought back the DNA in some of the blood could link to her killer. He will also talk to Thalia to see her results of Steele's court-ordered therapy. He needs to check with the DA Lawrence Splainer.

But do they really want to put out an investigative hold? They would then need to be speedy in their court preparation - not desirable.

They decide steps still need to be taken, like what needs to be gathered and who needs to be contacted.

Though with their current evidence, and this car they cannot get as the murder weapon, it seems unlikely they'll be able to legally call Steele on murder within court.

DA Splainer now arrives, Brian updates. Dude's on the same wavelength of thought to Brian. Pred, Jordan's brother(?) turned in his PD ID... unknown if he is just taking a break or is quitting.

While on the cock for the Red Rooster, Brian picks up Thalia. After dropping off her friends, Brian immediately tries to get Thalia's words on Jordan. He wants her psych records on the ex-cop and tries to connect a ocelot pariah. Thalia hints that Kayden may own one of these types of cars. Need to check her car stash, and Jean's...

Phone call with Thalia, gets her written report on Jordan.

Brian heads to PDM - there, he checks out the ocelot. Investigating, he takes a photo of the car and slyly learns that Dr. Cross owns one and possibly also Gladys. The records will be checked for other owners in LS. Brian can also contact Eddie, who mainly deals with the importation and exportation of cars, for more information. He gets permission for an extended test drive of the ocelot.

Brian picks up Thalia in the ocelot. Brian is smooth in the manner in which he tells Thalia Kayden is dead. Super smooth. Brian then explains the significance of the car he's driving - the same type was Kayden's murder weapon. He inquires on her role as Jordan's therapist. Brian hopes that she can help in the investigation.

She says Jordan put Jean Steele in the ICU one to two months ago. Brian continues being subtle in his descriptions of what happened. She's willing to assist Brian. She doesn't recall seeing this particular car type before, yet can keep her eye open for the vehicle and for other information that would be permissible in court. Brian and Thalia agree to keep their connection in this investigation a secret - she isn't even to chat about it to the other medical professionals (especially as there is a chance Dr. Cross' car may have been the weapon, if his car was stolen).

Back with his PD brothers and sisters, Brian clashes over procedure with the chief. He and Bobby discuss the investigation and Brian's hot-off-the-press new lead.

Not even an hour later, Brian spots an ocelot pariah parked just outside Pillbox. Oh shit. He pretends to take a photo of Chips yet zooms in on the license plate, follows Dr. Serge as he drives away in it headed to Parsons, and finds an opportunity to pull him over. Calling additional officers to his location, Brian inspects the contents of the vehicle and makes small talk to Serge.

Brian brings up the topic of skumbags stealing cars in LS, which prompts Serge to mention his car is often stolen. He elaborates - on Saturday, Jordan Steele broke into his ocelot and yelled he was going to steal it. HOLY FUCK YES. Please, write this all down immediately and sign it.

Serge took it from the impound lot early this morning - the front bumper was almost entirely off and one of the doors was missing. Apparently both Winchester and Hall witnessed the commotion at Pillbox.

Bobby mirandizes Serge. Bobby and Serge plan to seize the vehicle under the pretense of tinted windows. Serious season baby. Tsunami approaching.

The ocelot pariah is carefully moved to the PD parking lot. There, it is inspected and swabbed diligently by Brian and Malton. Bobby, Jenny, and Coop watch on. The car is placed in a bay for the mechanic to take further analysis. Inside now, they discuss how questioning sessions will proceed.

Dr. Serge Cross, Chief of Medicine at Pillbox, is set to be questioned downstairs already. Brian and Malton begin.

B: roughly where did that take place?

C: I was inside making sure the one doctor Taj would stop crying and freaking out because Jordan had a gun 20 feet away from him.

B: And what transpired after that event?

C: We saved this guys life, spoke to residents its ok, but most likely will see guns in their face, we have pshyc department for these events, and then went back to helping Winchester with his Physical Therapy

B: roughly when did Jordan hold these individuals up

C: 20:30 and 9:30 at night somewhere in that area

B: and what happened to your vehicle?

C: After I got tired of all the crying and let pshycs talk to people. I walked away to a corner of the hospital to where you could see the parking lot and I saw Jordan Steele breaking into my Pariah.

B: Breaking into the window or..?

C: smashed the side of the window

B: Did you see him get in?

C: He got inside the car and the moment I saw him get inside I called him on the phone.

B: Can we look at your phone?

C: Go ahead.

B: Where there any texts exchanged? (phone records don’t go back to that date)

C: No, its been a while

B: Any text to others when this event was taking place?

C: not that I can recall

B: I’m trying to get a time…

C: The only text I sent even close to that was while I was in the morgue right before I did the autopsy. My friend was asking if I was okay.

B: So please continue, he broke into your car and…

C: He broke in, he’s an ex-employee of mine so we have a decent relationship. I called and asked how he was doing, he said he was fine, this was after the hospital junk. I said oh that’s great, because I see you breaking into my car right now...

B: how did he respond

C: he said no I’m not. I said Jordan I see you breaking into it.

B: Did he drive off?

C: No. He said oh I’m already doing this. I said I’m going to call the cops and I called 911.

B: Did any officers arrive?

C: No, It was less than 20 minutes since he held people up, I think you were looking for him already.

B: did anyone else observe him stealing the vehicle?

C: No just me. I just told the 2 police officers that were off duty that he stole my car.

B: Do you know what direction he drove off?

C: Yes he left the downstairs hospital and made a left towards sandy shores?

B: Up the highway los santos freeway?

C: Yes up the freeway

B: Did you see Jordan again that day?

C: no I did not

B: did you see Kayden any time that day?

C: Did I see Kayden… no… Last time IO saw her was over a week ago

B: What was the condition of the vehicle once you got it back in your possession, and how did you get it back?

C: I used the car app and found it was in an impound lot near Vinewood pd.

B: when you retrieved it what was the condition

C: Front bumper and passenger was gone, front windshield was cracked

B: Did you speak to Jordan between that event and today?

C: No, I just found out today he was in ICU

B: What was your relationship with Kayden?

C: She was one of my best friends.

B: How long have you known her for?

C: ever since she was a stripper at the Vanilla Unicorn

B: roughly how long ago was that?

C: A year ago maybe?

B: What was your relationship like with her the past few weeks?

C: Her and I haven’t been as close as we used to due to the last few times we were around each other she was just yelling at her son chips really weird shit and she was hanging around people who wore masks and such and to be honest Kayden I loved Kayden but she wasn’t the lawyer I knew, she was Kayden who went to jail at some point. So I felt really bad for her.

B: Did you have any suspicion she was involved in any other kind of other illegal activities?

C: Yes, that’s what I wanted to talk to Jordan about when it came to that investigation but he was too busy having some intervention upstairs.

B: what investigation?

C: Some intervention.. there was a bunch of cops there and there was a lot of yelling so I just walked away.

B: When was this?

C: Cant remember the exact date

B: was he still an officer at the time?

C: Yes

B: what was it you were going to tell Jordan?

C: I was riding around with Erin Cox and basically she had me go to bennys where we ran into a bunch of her friends and Kayden was one of them and this guy Wayne drove up and offered them a “job” to do later that night and to not get arrested until that job happened. And immediately Erin goes “Hey od you know serge is in the car right here” and they were like oh fuck and stopped talking. I was going to tell the cops about it but they were busy with the meting so didn’t interrupt

B: Do you believe Kayden was affiliated with some organization?

C: anything is possible. She was a very smart woman. She did some dumb shit but she was… at some point she was married to Vinny Pistone. She knew what she was doing.

B: Do you know Kayden would be in the market of supplying weapons?

C: no but I wouldn’t doubt shed shoot someone. I’ve seen her running people over with tow trucks but I don’t know about her selling weapons… though I haven’t been that close to her lately.

M: I do have some follow up questions with you. I wanted to confirm the timeline of the vehicle. 7:30 EST you picked up the Ocelot from the lot and went to work, is that correct?

C: No I picked up the Elligy and drove both to the lot.

M: Where did you park it?

C: Downstairs bottom pillbox in the parking lot. 2 spaces from the left of the one with a yellow bar on it.

M: Can you confirm what time you saw Jordan breaking in to the Ocelot?

C: It would be some time around 21:00 to 21:30

M: And you saw him in the act of smashing the window?

C: Yes he smashed it and got in the car

M: When he smashed in, did you see him wearing gloves or any protectant stuff of the sort?

C: He usually does when he’s towing cars. He was wearing that yellow vest

M: And when did you pick it back up from the impound lot?

C: I want to say today at 17:35-17:40

M: So to confirm you haven’t seen the car since it was stolen until today?

C: Yes, after dealing with the medical examine report I was going to grab my car after I finished everything but by that point after seeing things I didn’t want to see I just went to bed. The car was at the impound lot before I went to bed.

M: And you confirmed that?

C: Yes I was going to run there but I was too tired

M: Was that the first time you checked the Lojack?

C: That was the first time. I spent most of the time with new residents and dealing with Kaydens death

M: The condition it is in now is the same as when you got it from the lot?

C: It was missing the front door and missing all the windows so I took it to bennys to get repaired since I didn’t want it to be considered unroadworthy

M: Do you remember the officers you told that were off duty?

C: Jenny hall and Winchester

M: As a friend did Kayden ever confide to you any abuse or domestic abuse she might have bene suffering?

C: She said a couple months ago that Jordan was treating her like shit and when I asked her to talk more in depth about it she said she didn’t want to. She yelled out “big time” and just left”

M: Did you take that “big time” in reference to the amount of abuse?

C: It sounded more like she was saying it to get my attention off the topic.

M: Was that the only time she mentioned abuse?

C: She would come by the hospital and yell at chip “Get in the car or ill beat you like my husband would beat me”

M: Was Kayden always armed?

C: I don’t know for a fact but I’ve seen her shoot people in front of pillbox so I don’t know but she was armed those times.

M: Have you asked for her ID and was she able to provide it?

C: Yes she’s always had it. She’s given me shit when asking but I say its protocol and you know it.

M: So to confirm, every time you ask her for an ID, she’s had it on her?

C: Other than 2 times she said she was robbed she has always had an ID

M: The mechanics, do you know what they did to the car? Obviously the put a new bumper and door. Did they change any internal components?

C: No. I’m very cheap when it comes to things. I’m the only doctor that doesn’t drive an import. I just did body work. Nothing internal.

M: Does you car have any kind of on board GPS system?

C: You’d probably have to find out with the manufacturer. I know it tells me where I’ve been before but I don’t know how to go back and check that.

M: You said you were on the phone with Jordan. Was anyone near you?

C: No. I can show you where I was but it was pretty isolated. Winchester and Jenny might have bene nearby because I ran to them but…

M: One more question. When you were doing the autopsy, and it said it was an Ocelot did you think of it being your vehicle?

C: I didn’t think of it much. I had been up for 23 hours and I had just seen 4 people dance on my friends body. I just wanted to get the autopsy done and go to sleep.

B: Who were those individuals

C: Mr. Chang, Randy Bullet, I cant pin the other 2.

B: What was Saabs relationship with Kayden?

C: Saab? He was in the hospital when she was around. I know that I think she was friends with his girlfriend or ex Brenda. Other than that I don’t really now if that hung out or anything.

B: That’s all I got. Thank you for your time. I will be ending the interview here at 2/17/2020 @ 8:06 PM

Baas approaches Brian with Chip's review of his mother Kayden's autopsy report. Brian updates Baas on the status of the case.

Turns out Baas is now a player in the Russian Mystery Arc - he saw some photos of high-tech PD weaponry allocated for exportation.

Malton reconnects with Brian: DNA matching to Kayden's via her blood is found on the vehicle per the mechanic. So, we need Winchester, a neutral party, to be interviewed next to determine if they can place Jordan on the scene for the hospital incident. We need to prove Jordan was inside the vehicle now.

Brian, Malton, and Winchester speak in the captain's office. Winchester almost provides his statement regarding Steele on Saturday; before he does, a jewelry store robbery alerts. Brian is held back by Malton as he attempts to not let Winchester respond to the call - people die so suddenly in Los Santos, cannot afford to lose this statement for the investigation...

New day. Brian and Malton discuss their investigations, namely Kayden's murder and the terrorism at the FIB building.

Brian acquires Winchester's report.

Jordan Steele leaves the ICU alive. He appears intoxicated. As behind-the-scenes case work is still being put together, Brian and Malton agree to not pursue a statement from Steele just yet. They will prepare more. Following, Brian and Malton inventory Kayden's apartment.

Brian meets with the DA to discuss the latest updates on their case investigation. The DA views his side from the perspective of means, motive, and opportunity. The DA says he thinks there is so far "enough evidence to shift the burden of proof" - which would then put the ball in Steele's court to provide enough evidence that he did not commit the crime. Plan: bring Steele in for questioning then arrest him on the spot.

Dr. Chapatin Corti, Resident at Pillbox, is questioned by Brian and Malton with DA Splainer as a witness.

**Questioning of Dr. Chapatin Corti**

Cross Questioning @ PM Eastern 2/24/2020

B – Brian

M – Malton

C - Corti

S - Splainer

M: You were present in the hospital the day that Kayden was murdered, correct?

C: Yes sir.

M: And you stated that you were the one who actually did the surgery on her when she was brought into the hospital, is that correct?

C: Yes, I am the one that performed on her, and when I was performing surgery, I called on Carter and Dr. Cross.

M: And just to confirm we are not mixing up any situations here, this would be the surgery in which she was pronounced dead, correct?

C: Yes.

M: Alright. How long before Kayden's body was brought into the hospital did you arrive at the hospital?

C: Approximately like 2 hours.

M: Okay, so to confirm you were at the hospital 2 hours before Kayden's body was brought in?

C: Yeah, I actually signed onto duty at 8:35 PM EST.

M: Okay, and was Serge in the hospital when you arrived there?

C: Yes.

M: Did he remain in the hospital for the entire 2 hours up until Kayden's body was brought in?

C: No, actually he goes outside and smokes some cigarettes and sometimes he has to go out to get away from Pillbox.

M: Okay, so, um, about how long would you say Serge was in Pillbox with you - like, was there ever a time when he was gone for an extended period of time?

C: Uh... [thinking] well I stayed on duty for approximately 3 hours, almost 4 hours, and he was there the whole time. I actually went off duty because he went to sleep.

M: Okay, so the time between when you arrived and when Kayden's body arrived for surgery, in that 2 hours timeframe, did Serge take any breaks during that time?

C: Uh, yeah, couple of times.

M: Were these quick, like, 5 minute smoke breaks, or did he ever take an extended break?

C: Uhh let me check right now [takes out phone]. Well I was actually not around Pillbox for around 20/90(?) minutes or less because Cross had me get some food for him.

M: Okay, so when you left, he was there, but when you came back he was there though.

C: Yeah when I arrived he told me that there was a patient back there so I had to go.

M: Okay so basically to your knowledge though Cross was on the ground of Pillbox the entire time with the exception of maybe a couple smoke breaks?

C: Yup.

M: Alright, so that basically concludes the questions I was wanting to ask. Officer Knight, do you have anything you want to follow up on?

B: Um do you remember when...do you recall Kayden being brought in after she had taken some injuries?

C: Yes I remember that very clearly.

B: Do you recall what she had asked you to do?

C: Yeah.

B: What was that?

C: Uh I tried to speak to her but she was refusing to speak and would only speak with Sir Brian Knight. AER at the other side of the room(?).

B: And then what happened afterwards, in your own words?

C: Uh well I went to speak with you [referring to Brian] for her so you know I could actually help her. We were arriving the (?) next to her so everyone was talking, I don't know what they were talking about, and then I remembered that she was telling you something about a guy named Jordan - and I remembered that name very clearly cause I heard the name Jordan Steele several times that day and he also said something about a car. I don't recall exactly what she said.

B: Um do you recall...did Jordan Steele...were you there...did Jordan Steele hold up the hospital that day?

C: I was under...um...I'm actually kind of confused about that because Cross asked me the same thing but I think that I got...it happened when I was out or it happened before I went on duty. Because like I said I left to get some food and see...or actually when I went on duty, I believe that Jordan Steele was at the hospital and Dr. Cross asked me to go and get some cigarettes for him. And a couple minutes later I had to go again because we had a patient kidnapped from ICU and he was not responding. I don't know if you guys were here but I had to come all the way here to MRPD for an officer. And then I came back with Officer Murphy. So it either happened when I was out of Pillbox or it happened before I went on duty.

B: Alright. That's all the questions I had.

M: Okay. Go ahead [Splainer talks same time).

S: Do you remember Dr. Cross mentioning a stolen vehicle throughout the night?

C: Hmmm...

S: Did he say something to the effect of, "someone stole my vehicle!"

C: I'm not sure but I don't think so

S: Okay. You said Kayden Dell'Anno was alive when she arrived at the hospital, correct?

C: Yes, she was.

S: I assume she passed away during surgery?

C: Yes, after she spoke with Brian Knight her vitals were failing so I had to take her to sergetti(?) and that's when I called for Dr. Cross to assist. She...passed...you know...she died.

S: Did she have a last gasp, tearful recollection?

C: No, I belive that the last words I heard her saying were what she was telling Officer Brian.

S: Okay, but she had no additional words to say, when she was being taken into surgery?

C: No, she actually passed out after talking to Brian so she didn't say anything after that.

S: Okay. I think that's all I had.

M: Alright. I think this is going to conclude this interview. I'll take you back to Pillbox. Brian, if you want to continue talking to the DA about - [Doctor interjects]

C: Can I mention something else?

M: Of course.

S: If you'd like to volunteer information, feel free.

C: When I was arriving at Pillbox, you know after I came here looking for an officer to help with the guy that was kidnapped from the ICU, I heard shots really close, from Pillbox, and Officer Murphy went running around trying to figure out what happened. And as I was running out I...second [pulls out phone again] oh Jenny - you know the doctor's uh girlfriend...?

S: Jenny Hall?

C: Uh I don't know her last name.

M: Ah she was off duty at the time, but yeah.

C: Yeah I heard she was saying...I heard Jordan screaming outside of Pillbox. And then Murphy mentioned that his name was Jordan Steele - that's why I recalled the name, because I heard it a lot that day. And you know, we went to the front and Dr. Cross was bringing a guy named Bryce Miller inside cause apparently Jordan shot at him a couple times. And that's pretty much it.

M: Alright, thank you.

C: Yeah, no problem.

S: Thank you for your time, Doctor Choppentine(?).

M: Okay I'll take this man back to Pillbox real quick and I'll be right back to discuss it.

S: Okay.

C: Okay. Thank you.

Splainer asks what Kayden's last ask was. Brian responds that she told him Jordan's last actions: ran her over with a vehicle. There is only one exception to the hearsay objection - Brian is allowed to testify to Kayden's last gasp because she died giving it. Splainer will probably ask this of Brian in court.

Brian offers his services for other potential interviews if the DA requests. Brian and Malton will continue to discuss. Splainer will start formulating the case fillings so they'll be ready to "let the pin fall" when the trigger on all this is pulled to battle in the courtroom.

Malton runs up to Brian and the latter updates the former on the updates: keep aware, gonna interview Jordan and regardless of how it goes take him in after and then commence the proceedings in court.

Ducky says Lawrence Splainer, the DA, is in the ICU - he's in serious condition. EMS Khloe had brought him in: Ducky is to call Brian with any updates.

Splainer is spotted 2 days later - he's out of the ICU, but with visible injuries on his face. Brian works to get him safely from a convenience store robbery, in which he was taken hostage.

Some days later, Malton tells Brian they need to get a statement from Steele soon for their case. They want to discuss both Kayden and Boba's deaths in the interview - as their stronger case appears to be Kayden's, they plan to start with the topic of his alibi for her. They prepare some questions together.

Malton and Brian discuss the best time to pick up Steele for a statement.

Steele and Brian talk on the latest time they were in court and the next time they'll probably be in court.

The police report which Brian and Malton had worked on developing for weeks was released publicly before charges were filed and a warrant was placed for Steele's pickup. Brian and Splainer meet to talk about why all the information was released, in Brian's perspective prematurely. Splainer explains that they need to justify the warrant - this is normal procedure at charges on this scale. If trial is inevitable, he says, the filings can be published.

**Court Case: DA Goes for Steele**

District attorneys: Adrienne West and Larry. Defendant's lawyer: Murphy Braun. Judge: (?).

Court is called to order.

**OPENING STATEMENTS -**

Adrienne West makes the case for the DA's side: Jordan Steele, disgraced ex-cop, needs to pay for killing Kayden Dell-Anno, who was a pillar of the community. Murphy Braun makes his way to the front of the court room and makes the case that Kayden is far from a pillar citizen of the community and there is no evidence to place Steele at the scene.

**QUESTIONING -**

Dr. Serge Cross is brought to the stand and questioned.

Next, Brian is questioned. He tries to trip up Murphy into an outburst to throw him off the case.

Domenic Toretti then questioned.

Dr. Chapatin Corti takes his turn at the stand.

**CLOSING STATEMENTS -**

West mentions Kayden's last words and her last text messages, along with Steele's rage that day and the physical evidence of the car. Zero alibi has been provided by the defendant. Now for Murphy: the entire case rests on the eyewitness of one person: yes, a reputable doctor, yet it was also based on a good distance away and through a window. Although the DNA was found on the car, no other DNA (mainly that of Steele) was found on the murder vehicle. He says the dying declaration made by Kayden is not enough, as it cannot be ascertained if she saw or likewise Steele: she was also struck from behind. At the time of when she uttered her last words, she also had a severe head injury. He also mentions Kayden and Steele's toxic relationship and refers to it as 'normal', attempting a negation at the text messages argument. Plus he repeats Kayden was not a pillar model of the community.

**JUDGE VERDICT -**

The motive: appears to be many, yet not exclusive to Kayden. Actuality and evidence of a weapon used: DNA and the vehicle. Per Dr. Cross' eyewitness, the judge believes that puts Jordan at the scene of stealing the car; the actions are consistent. "At this time, the court does find Steele guilty of murder."

Upon these spoken words, Murphy begins a tangent and is led out of the court room soon thereafter. Steele professes he didn't have faith in his counsel and says Murphy's breathe reeked of whiskey. Steele now wants to make a motion - the judge offers the floor to Steele to speak. Steele appeals for leniency and talks on how rough his life is now. He motions for a mistrial. Cannot be granted. He motions to appeal. Judge says Steele can appeal from prison. Steele wants counsel, yet turns down Ardson. Some other guy becomes counsel.

Steele sentenced to 15 years in Bolingbroke Penitentiary - essentially, 8 years with 7 years possible parole. 25k fine.

Brian's first court case for his first major investigation for murder charged on an ex-cop: and a guilty verdict!

The next day, Malton informs Brian Jordan is appealing the murder conviction, and is now on bail as granted by the DOJ. Just: ?.  ???. Chats with LaBarre.

#### **[ARC] - McAfee's Death**

Investigation - Death of James McAfee

**Grove Street Families member James McAfee's body makes it to Pillbox and Brian's attention. Was McAfee's death brought on by his own?**

James McAfee's body is now found. Interesting, as Dexx (another OG in GSF) seemed off and down in spirit earlier today... Boba needs to be put into protective custody immediately. Relates to drug manufacturing. McAfee has implied he has a coke connect and that there is known information on the movement of marijuana, as per a prior report begun by the PD. Speaking with Malton, they both decide they need to move to work on this case quickly.

Shots heard in Pillbox - Brian and Malton race down from the roof where they were talking. People in the vicinity are restrained and GSR tested. Toretti takes point while Brian and Malton focus on questioning Saab (concerning Kayden's murder). Malton initiates raid on McAfee's property/properties.

Later in the same day, Brian and Malton discuss their new findings and suspicions. Two men were seen dropping McAfee's body at the entrance to Pillbox - in a green corvette(?). Brian adds his side: McAfee had been talking about weed smuggling to both Boba and Steele. And earlier that day, Dexx was acting almost like he knew McAfee would die. But why drop his body at the hospital, then? Why not hide the body so as to not arouse investigation? And why didn't they clear his house?

Maybe the connect found out? Boba was telling the truth before, should have listened. Malton wants to talk to Copper - if the goal was to kill McAfee or even just send a message, why drop him off with medical staff? But legit-sounding radio channel traffic. What if the coke connect was meeting with McAfee, or someone, and something just went awry?

What if GSF wanted to make it look like a gang conflict? This way, it is unknown if it could be classified as a murder specifically. Would DJ be capable of this? Brian thinks so. Sneaky motherfuckers.

Need to keep a close eye on DJ's whereabouts these next few days. And must protect Boba at all costs. Brian thinks McAfee was talking too much. Discussion on Jordan's involvement. Anyway, source of information is McAfee. Investigation is closely similar and overlaps a bit with the investigation on Kayden's murder.

Malton shows what came from the raid on Kayden's property/properties and McAfee's properties.

The next morning, Brian and Malton link up. Boba is in Vice City for protection. This investigation regarding McAfee's death and the investigation regarding Kayden's murder are to be investigated in sync.

Brian wants to add BBC into investigation. Malton mentions a text message and Brian scours the MDT database for a previous report that has some relevant material.

#### **[ARC] - Talon's Terrorism**

**Focused on anarchy, a group identifying as "Talon" reaches the radar of Brian. Take from the rich, give to the poor. Overthrow corrupt institutions, such as the PD and DOJ. Etc. At least initially...**

1. "THE MESSAGE"

* A warning: the introduction of a man in a Shredder outfit. Los Santos fails - destiny arrives all the same. Logo shows.

2. "WE ARE TALON"

* High-end film shots pan around Los Santos before zooming in to inside the FIB building. There, a camera is focused on its subjects: 3 civilian hostages, a man in a white suit with a black skeletal mask holding a PD issued shotgun, and a man in a Shredder outfit. Voice overlay accompanies further shots of the Shredder placing and setting a bomb within the building, the Shredder and another flying off in a high grade helicopter, with a final shot of the FIB building blowing up. The symbol of Talon is displayed before video end.
* Voice over is the same man as in the previous video: LS will be taken back from the rich, the oppressors, and will be returned to the people of LS. He claims the FIB explosion as his and as the first step of the revolution. Blood will be shed and the police will learn to survive as they learn true justice. We are everywhere, fear us, we lurk in the shadows. We are Talon. Logo shows.

3. "THE CHOICE"

* A message on corruption and call to arms for citizens
* Chief Bobby's voice is heard, Shredder wants transfer from him via the PD of 200k for Fiona's life, doesn't get it, she gets stabbed. Just prior to her stabbing, Fiona stammers, "Who paid you, Angel?" Final words spoken directly to the camera by Shredder before cut: "People of LS, sometimes, to start a revolution, sacrifices must be made...Learn from this, dear citizens - the police force aren't with you, but we are." Logo shows again.

4. "DEAR CITIZENS OF LOS SANTOS"

* Judgement time - sounds like time has run out
* "Talon Sings A New Tune" Weazel News Response Article

"JUDGEMENT FOR BAAS"

* The camera focuses on Baas, who's seen in plain clothes sitting on a chair in a dark room that appears to be underground. Surrounding him look to be torture devices. Shredder asks Baas some questions which Baas answers. Baas refers to Shredder as "Shadow". Perhaps Shredder's name, or one of his names at least, is Shadow? Another man is seen, a man in a black suit with a skeleton mask. He stands silently with his hands clasped in front of him. Shadow says Baas doesn't even know who he's supposed to be serving, and that he blew up the FIB building to "see who would care". Shadow confronts Baas regarding a prior situation involving Fiona - "You called for the execution of the bank robber. Before Fiona was anywhere near safety, one of your officers, and I quote, yelled, "Run you stupid bitch". Shadow considers this to be a mistake, and repercussions must be made. Baas admits he "fucked up". Yet there are hundreds of mistakes, many not brought to light. "You cannot operate on your own free will," finishes Shadow, raising one arm. The man in the black suit kneels in front of Baas and the screen flickers before Baas scream of torture is heard. "This right here, is true justice," Shadow's voice is heard. Symbol of Talon shows. Then the visual comes back, it seems a few days has passed. Baas sits in the same chair, and says he's seen the light and is "no longer corrupted." Baas agrees verbally that the PD and the DOJ are corrupted. "You must pay for what you've done." Screen flickers again, man in suit stands near Baas and the latter screams again in pain. "You will be forever marked by Talon." Baas yells for the torture to stop. Video flickers again. It comes back - Baas is covered in gasoline: a molotov is thrown onto him, and fire erupts around Baas. The video ends with Baas' screams and the Talon symbol.

Brian works with other officers during this investigation.

A man named Stranger, who seems to have some background in the investigative field or similar, comes forth to the PD with insight of the videos. He notices small mistakes that could help identify the individuals. Baas is given these notes. Also, Stranger apparently interrogated Mr. Chang, who gave three names: Winchester, Sun Moon, and Allen Wideman. Also indication of a mole.

Now enter a man named Stonefinger, another investigating. He has some talent, as his activities have caught Talon's attention - the group has reached out and is presumably continuing to do so to request Stonefinger to stop.

Brian and Baas review and think about what's going on.

Images of victims are released - why were they chosen? Fiona Stewart, Jay Stevens, and someone named Rico. Is there anything that separates these certain civilians from others? What is going on here? And Ekaterina Alekseyevna was a previous victim.

Reference past police reports: 2705, 2746, 2705...

A video, what Baas and Brian call the third one, shows footage of Fiona being stabbed after 200k is not attained. A further statement from the masked man is given just before the footage ends.

In another video, the same man says, "On my honor, I'll never betray my badge, my integrity, my character or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for their actions. I will always uphold the Constitution, my community and the agency I serve".

Stranger was interrogated and brought up 3 names. One is Chang. One is Sun Moon. One name is Winchester, who quite matches this above quote...is it Winchester?!

It's an oath. The PD is the corruption. Motive. Baas and Brian drive to a bank robbery while still discussing.

Brian and Baas talk to a senior news reporter.

Apparently the first video has 'mistakes'. Brian slows down the speed of play and finds: "S S ...B/E" Brian suddenly stops on a frame: it looks like Sun Moon!! He's driving the chopper! Stranger mentioned Sun Moon's name. He can fit in the scenario - as he's currently running the Million Dollar Race, he does need money...

Brian and Baas decide to keep quiet about Sun Moon and not alert him. They will build a case.

Brian asks, what's up with Fiona lately?

"YSST:ILEAO" - Baas reviews the letters in the beginning of one of the videos. It reads something like this.

Brian remembers that Ekaterina had beef with Angel around the time of her kidnapping. Brian and Baas decide to check out the location of her kidnapping.

The court case...was used as propaganda to further their agenda maybe? Who knows, Brian was playing Minecraft like the whole case...the case was over 10k, something about a woman's death, public view. Most important part: what the public saw from that case, without knowing the SOPs and such. Similar message, possibly related? Who were those lawyers??

Baas says a "Robert Sirunkel" was at the courthouse that day. And the lawyers were actually back up lawyers. One of the lawyers kept lying, says Baas. Maybe he was inexperienced, states Brian. But wouldn't you sue the person who kidnapped and then later shot you? Hm, good point.

Topic back to Eugene and his court case involvement with the shooting of Fiona.

4 particular windows are found while Baas and Brian drive through an alley - the crime scene. They find a way into the garage/building and take out their PD-issued flashlights, shining them in the corners of the empty expanse. This was one of the spots Talon filmed.

Fiona was meant to be found. Okay, so they know the location now. 2614 - Stolen BCSO helicopter: Johnny, Jenny, and Travis came to the PD with a maintenance order. Just before they stole the heli, one of the members was cut of one of the moving blades and left blood on the PD's roof. So, to surmise, the female was the camera operator, one male was in the white suit, and the other male was in the Shredder outfit. A few hours later, the FIB building exploded. At the time, the PD as a whole didn't seem too interested in investigating...

"Do you like what I've done?" was said in a phone call to Baas earlier.

Back to who the hell these lawyers are.

For investigating, we can just observe - who does everyone talk to, etc. They look up the court documents for "Fiona Stewart vs LSPD". Fiona vs Baas, Angel, Francer, Knight. Lyle Emerson, Robert Sirunkel, and Ginzu Okada are representative names. So who do they work for, let's find out. Representing Fiona is their first and only case...weird. However, Brian finds one connection: Jonathan Killgore for one of the representatives.

Brian and Baas plan to set up a document in which to place all their notes. They then try to figure out how exactly the government fucked up the DNA process. They wish to compare the DNA found on the rooftop of the fake maintenance worker to the rest of their database. While doing so, they find out the CID numbers in the MDT are also fucked. Cool.

They mention something on Chang and names. And why did Shredder call Baas? He's tweeted out a bit the day of the bombing, maybe that's why? Is he next in line to be kidnapped?! That phone call was a fucking threat! Because it was the oath spoken!

A few days later, Brian meets secretly with Gregory Stonefinger again, Weazel News reporter with connections to Talon and Stranger.

Stonefinger says he's been contacted by the man in the Talon videos, plus Jordan Steele, and also Stranger, who apparently hired Steele to protect him. Brian learns the story of McGrawl's death, at least part of it, was on Weazel News. Sounds like Sonya coming after you, says Brian. It doesn't match with Talon's M.O. Stonefinger's interviewed Rico Wesley thus far: Rico works for Herr Kutz and has a possible GSF affiliation - also an expensive house. Stonefinger is sure he's being followed. He then describes what he noticed in the Talon videos. He likens the Talon group to the Crimson Boomers and HOA groups.
Why was he centered on Sonya? She's a threat, could be another attack.

Brian says that both Talon and Sonya are dangers to Stonefinger - Talon, do I need to say why, and Sonya, as she's reckless and it's known she killed McGrawl.

Also whatever the hell's going on with Doctor Agnes. Okay, let's return to the main topic.

Back to Talon and the pictured hostages. Subject of Rico: on Forham Drive, he's casually walking around with his blue gloves: seems to be handling himself quite okay. Fiona is not doing as well. She's scared, and doesn't want anything to do with Talon / news article / etc. Jay, Stonefinger says, he hasn't had a chance to talk to just yet.

Three names Stranger gave: Stonefinger has no idea of this. Brian indicates Sun Moon could have been flying the helicopter. Stonefinger will profile the man and keep it top secret. Trust dependant. Where's the money coming from, what's that is all this play? Related to Million Dollar Race? Associates/names, background/history. Brian offers some services and he and "Jimmy Talon" part peacefully.

The following day, Brian links up with Baas. Seconds in, Baas gets a call from Stranger: he sets a meet as Brian continues to berate him about an email he received from Copper.

On a desolate rooftop, Brian and Baas approach Stranger, who wears a brown coat, scarf, and hat as he overlooks a good expanse of LS. After a remark on such a good viewpoint, he mentions a 24 hour deadline. Baas says hold on a bit buddy. Brian wants a reason for him to trust Stranger.

Stranger makes a case that his intelligence passed to the PD has all been correct. He says he doesn't want anything - Brian finds this hard to believe - there's a gain, of some sort.

Okay. I seek closure, says Stranger. Everything that makes one a person.

Do you have an prior involvement with Talon? Nothing before the first video.

Baas asks for trust now; how can we know you're not working with Talon?

Can't prove it. Just trust.

Brian pokes again at Stranger's 'hole'. Stranger remarks on his pain - his search on Talon helps keep his pain at bay. This singular task is his singular focus.

Stranger is still profiling Sun Moon: he has a source working on it.

A few seconds later Stranger has a bad cough, and quickly pops a pill.

Baas says the play now is to wait it out.

Stranger doesn't think this is a good plan.

But wtf do we have to work with.

Disagree.

Explain.

You have issues with your equipment. Talon is waiting for the right time, which is not dependent on what the PD does. The city is playing to Talon's narrative. Citizens will notice and act on the corruption comment.

Stranger also says the victims are not confident in the LSPD. Stranger does not agree with the PD's current actions regarding Talon. He thinks they must be brought out to the light - by targeting them in the shadows. The advantage: Stonefinger. Apparently with his singular focus he has too many other arrangements to speak with Stonefinger himself, but he does have a proxy communicator to him.

How will the DNA help you, asks Brian.

Blood will tell the story.

So you want the whole sample or what.

Just need a partial.

Brian agrees to give him some DNA.

Baas and Brian move to the other side of the rooftop to discuss what to do. Brian says they can believe Stranger for a good extent - he's the only reason they've made it this far. What can he do with the DNA, anyway? Also, this is an opportunity to save so many lives at relatively low risk. Stranger's loud cough is heard from a few yards away. Brian says fuck the formal investigative process chain.

Brian and Baas will work on getting the DNA transferred and Stranger will focus on Stranger.

Stranger parts with the line, "Do not let the darkness take you."

Now it's just Baas and Brian. Baas likes rules. Brian says fuck those. Baas jumps off the roof. Ah, he's okay, there was a landing.

'Safely' back on the ground and in a cruiser, they continue debating the legality of what to do. Baas is not convinced yet. Okay, let's create a framework. Stranger is a CI - more opportunities now for action. Baas is concerned about court. Fuck that, evidence.

Baas sighs. Brian paces.

48 hours to make a decision. Hundreds of lives are tied to it.

Brian, with too many investigative experiences shit in the past, and the new information now, feels it's better to just investigate as a sole team along with Baas. Baas likes the reputation and credibility that comes with the formal way. Brian keeps making his case to crossed-arms Baas.

Baas finally agrees to temporarily fuck the SOPs.

After crashing head-on into a pole, Baas learns from Brian that the latter talked to Stonefinger yesterday. Stonefinger and Stranger are both useful. Brian updates. They discuss the involvement of those they know related to all this. Some more chat, then they decide to sleep on it. They part for the night, and Baas gives a heartfelt monologue on his appreciation for Brian and says he's a great officer with amazing potential before slowly walking away.

Next day. Stonefinger calls Brian for a favor: he needs Rico's citizen ID. Sun Moon apparently owns no property - interesting to Stonefinger. Not even any keys. Stonefinger says he hasn't been in contact with Stranger or Talon. Talk on SS, Steele Security.

Message from Stonefinger: It's a video of what looks to be Speedy and Eugene, maybe Saab...then a guy in a white shirt fires some rounds at a blue car. Then someone in red exits to car to repair. [Scuffed OOC so we might not go with it fully.] So the footage is corrupt.

While writing a report in the MDT, a cough is heard from the back of Brian's police car. It's Stranger. Brian drives to a remote location. Coughing, Stranger exits the vehicle and pops a pill. Military cargobob, similar to one in Talon video, exploded on hospital landing pad lower east side of the city, he says. Smelting factory approximately 8pm EST. Brian reviews the report on the cargobob from yesterday. Unfortunately, Brian wasn't on shift that day. A heli suddenly shows in view and Brian takes a few shots. They find another location, this one a bit more remote in a dip in the mountain. Stranger continues - whatever they were doing with the cargobob, they were planning on going north afterwards. Dark in color Mercedes-Benz. Earlier, he saw 2 individuals dressed as army men getting into a car. The Mercedes was outside.

Did you get the license plate?

Might have.

Brian says he has the DNA samples. Stranger asks if the PD picked up DNA next to the cargo bob yesterday. Nope. Stranger attributes that to incompetence.

Breaking into a military base, the cargo bob, increased calls from Shredder to Stonefinger...it's ramping up.

Stranger reaches into his jacket and pulls out a plastic bag with a DNA swab. Brian requests a higher resolution plastic bag. Brian complains about his PD counterparts not collecting all the evidence and gives the ID number for the DNA Stranger wants: DNA-218. Brian asks about Stranger's pain. He would rather die to the hands of Talon than on a cold metal table. He will check for a DNA match with other DNA he found from a shootout in the smeltery. He has a makeshift laboratory.

The importance of the greater good is reliant on the here and now. Many are blinded to this greater good.

Stranger wants something else. His tools have been from a shitty manufacturer and he's down a flashlight. Brian silently hands over his. Stranger's been keeping his eyes on Stonefinger as Steele Security isn't around. He'll be giving Brian the license plate to the Mercedes.

Next day, Snow, Copper, Angel, and Brian go to the IAA building to discuss the group Talon. They all share information, including their main investigation document. Copper has a photograph of the van and ran the plates. Brian tells them he gave Stranger a DNA signature and they hold reservations on that decision.

Later meeting with more people in PD, leadership escalates the southside situation, and Brian looks at the situation politically - which plays into this Talon storyline.

Brian reads through an investigative document by the U.S. Army regarding the attack. One of the suspects identified as "Richardson"...

Also, the FIB has the 4 suspects listed on their terrorists list.

A preliminary timeline of events is included in the report. Tower Control, at 2:31 am on the 19th of March, received a request from "Richardson" to land at Helipad 2 on the sw section of the home base. Camera footage spotted the 4 attackers dressed in military gear and with AK-47s equipped with suppressors. A hangar attacked was housing a valuable asset for a classified weapons project. A crusador was used for transportation out of the hangar. The attackers seized a homebase cargobob aircraft. This cargobob was last seen heading south towards the city of Los Santos.

Wreckage of the cargobob was later found in the parking lot of St. Fiacre Hospital. Appears C4 explosives were detonated. Review of the scene found: damaged military issue armor, pieces of military style attire with moderate burn damage, a set of handcuffs, and keys to the aircraft.

Additional police investigation yielded more evidence at Grand Banks Steel Inc. on the 19th of March.

A call came in to 911 for masked guys with guns at the Grand Banks Steel Mill - they might have had a prisoner. Inside, police found signs of explosive residue from C4. Recently used equipment was found on the floor and came back positive for prints - however, the prints were not in the database when the check was run. Appears to be a database error... Smelting equipment was recently used. Blood was found just outside the mill. The DNA signature was DNA-12013.

Brian tries the MDT - no records found for that number. Cross-referencing with previous Red Cross blood donations returned a match to someone named "Robert Bessemer". No records for this name either, same as the DNA.

Interesting.

Brian climbs to the top of Templar. Brian falls off the top of Templar. EMS. Pillbox.

Brian finally makes it to the meeting location spot. Stranger has binoculars out. Possibilities and realities. Report released by the military base has more information on the attack. Stranger learns from Brian the trust issues within the PD regarding Stranger. He says that's understandable - he is willing to meet with them later.

Did you get what you promised? Brian asks. Stranger remarks on the nice view then reaches into his pocket to hand over to Brian 3 packs of baggies - what he collected the night of the smelting shootout. He then shares a few photos, one of which has a full figure of a man in a military uniform walking towards a black Mercedes. Brian shares the FIB's most wanted poster with Stranger. Brian still wants the license plate. The DNA he may be able to work with.

New video soon? Let's keep looking into Sun Moon. We have an advantage and disadvantage that Sun Moon doesn't know he's being investigated. Stranger has a nasty cough and takes a pill. Who does Sun Moon hang out with? What does he do with his time? Low profile? Race duties, or plotting something?

Stranger has not spoken to Stonefinger - the latter is due for a follow-up. Brian pulls out a cig and sparks Stranger to cough again. Stranger will keep on the hunt for evidence - even if a location or unmatched sample, it's a lead. Brian will look into seeing what he can do with the photographs. Brian thanks Stranger's part in this and says he has his trust, no matter what the rest of the PD thinks.

A band of notes is then given over - interesting. Stranger makes his exit.

While documenting, Brian tries to enhance the resolution of the photo with the license plate.

Brian sees Rico's name in the yellow pages and schedules a barber shop appointment.

Brian updates Baas - he gives the report from the fort pertaining to the attack. He also gives the photograph information that Stranger provided - we now have the Mercedes license plate (kinda blurred though) and DNA from the smeltery!

Private number: it's Stranger. Something about a unique bird and allegory about the right time. 5pm local time LS customs shop by the airport.

Baas comes on duty and links up with Brian. They chat on Talon then decide to run the DNA-218 through the database one more time, even though it's never returned anything. Denzel Williams. Wtf?! They discuss outside an Ammunation gun store as Brian also shows Baas the incident report and FIB poster.

Stranger seems to be getting worse [in health]. "Lots of people sign up for their job, sign away their lives, to protect...or maybe it's just a shit job. But either way, there's risk - you can loose everything in service of something that's not right. And what about the people who don't' sign up for this? We are in a world of SHIT. The world is SHIT - it is only piling up with more SHIT. Holy shit, (?) is getting cold and hard and the fresh, warm, salt shit is piling up even more - (?) layers of SHIT. It's getting hard to breathe with all the shit, officers."

Brian says LS is full of stench - drug dealers, daily murders...

"And then there's Talon. What the FUCK HAPPENED AT ZANCUDO."

What was the end purpose, and who exactly?

"The possibilities are endless. We can get lost wrapping our minds around what can BE, what IF. But they are things that we KNOW. There are things that are REAL right before us. Things that are here, and were, supposed to be there, but are not anymore!"

Stranger mentions the report by Zancudo. He asks what Dreadnaught is.

How does he know about Dreadnaught?

"We have our resources, we are all capable individuals, officer."

Baas talks to Stranger while Brian tries to look for a source of the Dreadnaught. Wait, what the fuck, where is it, how do we know about Dreadnaught?

"Then, what do you know about the success, or rather the failure, of the military at Zancudo?"

Fuck. We know a decent amount, but not enough.

"It wasn't just a show of force - there was something they needed. They were after Dreadnaught." Think, kept under military surveillance. "A weapon of mass destruction...they used c4 [to acquire this weapon] like it was candy to them. Your report, it did not mention, what was missing, did it? Once again, this is unnerving. It is impossible to fully trust everyone when no-one is fully trustworthy. There is more at the scene; I am not capable of getting into Zancudo to do my investigation. There is...we are over our head here. The risk is greater than I thought. As I said earlier, we are all capable men with resources. Mine is...the survivor. But, what happened at Zancudo is the beginning of the end." Stranger has a dry cough, doesn't sound good.

Stranger walks to a tool table and slams a file down. "This, officers, is what I have been fearing for a long time. The end is coming. Dreadnaught has birthed(?) a weapon that none of us could ever have predicted. The officers and -"

"What is this, a rock?" interjects Baas.

"-their government betrayed them -"

"What am I looking at right now?" again interjects Baas.

"- It was an inside job officers: someone who was within the organization was working with Talon. This meteorite was valuable and powerful. The doctor, unable to locate missing from base, missing from contact..."

The file had a name, Dr. Robert Bessemer. He was working on a CONFIDENTIAL project at the military base which involved the creation of CONFIDENTIAL which could be used to CONFIDENTIAL weapons. Pictures of some form of rock and the scientist himself included.

Maybe it was melted down in the smeltery.

"A weapon we are unable to predict, no idea what it could be, the only person working with it, missing, no connection..."

So what could be made from smelting it down? What mass destruction weapon can be welded or whatever from this? Stranger wants information on this from the report. Doesn't say much. Stranger questions this report, which has thus far been useless to him. Report has some stuff, it's just another thread. Add this report, with what Stranger provided, we have a list of potential suspects. A lot of little threads. The car is a promising thread.

Stranger questions the trust bond, or lack thereof, with PD and the military base. Stranger wants the preliminary investigation report in full; he makes his case. He has a source, who he cannot divulge information on, who gets him inside knowledge. Brian and Baas sidebar. To give or not to give? To give.

"The evil out there is Talon; let's take it down." Baas says.

He walks away and Baas and Brian chat about the weapon of mass destruction.

Call that Talon news article is up: "Talon: Ineffective Saviors or Failed Terrorists?" Brian and Stonefinger agree to keep their involvement in this secret.

Brian and Copper discuss the DNA from the stolen helicopter - Denzel Williams match. Credibility of Stranger? Brian and Copper get on the same page of all their current investigation notes. What could have been created in the smeltery? Not much could have been made from the tools that were found left behind. Numbers of female suspects and male suspects match up for different situations. Denzel is considered suspect number one - but how the hell is he involved in this? He doesn't seem to really fit... Copper thinks that at this level, this deep level, it wouldn't be beyond consideration. He's a high-profile criminal, with the murder of a cop on his record, and must know quite a few organizations. Wouldn't be improbable of him.

"But we're still grasping at straws right now...what we do right now is delicate," she says. Snow should be consulted. And Brian needs to be kept in the loop. Time to work, time to exhaust all our options and be smart about it.

Brian and Copper side bar and discuss botched and imperfect investigative efforts in the past.

Brian meet secretly with Stonefinger, who shows him a Sawnoff from Sonya's former lawyer - this might be the weapon used in the McGrawl murder. Might not be able to charge her now. She also gave this lawyer a car and he confessed to the attack on Mikey Rivers with a baseball bat, at her direction. Brian scours the MDT for the report...which isn't in there...

Anyway, this might not be the gun. Lawyer's name is Nathanial Greyson. Stonefinger relays to Brian what Greyson told him: Sonya and some guy (might be Tinker) put Greyson in a cage in a basement. Greyson plans to give a statement to the PD. Why did Sonya give him the gun she calls "Attorney Slayer"? Sonya picked him up in a red Nightshade, made him wear a white rabbit mask, and told him he was going to kill someone that night. Enter Rivers. Then made him wash the evidence in the ocean.

He says he spoke to Stranger after the publication of his article on Talon: mentioned was the military base and smeltery. Sun Moon was the pilot of the cargo bob, via blood confirmation, said Stranger to Stonefinger. And apparently Winchester's death has something to do with all this.  ? This is new. Information that southside is to blame. Stonefinger is confused similar to Brian as to Winchester's involvement with Talon. Stonefinger says Stranger's demeanor changed when he told of the officer - he became much more animated.

More information to be acquired, need to speak with Stranger. But Winchester? Doesn't make too much sense, either Stonefinger misheard or Stranger's information needs to be assessed...

**Sun Moon's Memory: Stonefinger wants Brian to visit Choi in the hospital - a current patient of hers is Sun Moon**

TEXT IMAGE

Brian makes it to Pillbox to see Moon. Sun Moon has no recollection of who he is or what he knows when he is released from the ICU. He had bullet wounds in his neck and back along with burn markings on his entire body. He suffered from a lack of oxygen for some time. The PD decides what to do, can't question him really, want to jog his memory, but have to be careful...can't plant ideas in his head, etc. Sun Moon mentions a notebook - the only thing he has written is "Snow". Malton suggests Moon see a professional to get good help. Moon says there's a homeless-like outfit in his closet, that may be of note.

The sheriff(name?), Malton, and Brian sidebar. Sun Moon was investigating something privately and is somehow connected to the death of Buck Colten - Richard Dark is lead on this investigation. There's also a man involved by the name of Edward Ngyma, who came into the PD yesterday fearing for his life and thinking his friends were dead (possibly Buck and Moon). So far what we have is a underground storage unit underneath Mt. Chilliad - a secret tunnel entrance with a keypad. Leads to some secret area. So that's why we do not want to mess with any memory Moon can recall. This investigation started with Buck going missing and then Moon and Edward were looking into his disappearance.

Brian and Malton sidebar the sidebar. Brian says he was under the impression this was relating to Talon. But this doesn't seem to be related to Talon actually...Edward Nygma and Buck Colton don't seem to be in that story. Brian is interested in pursuing Talon and some others still, but thinks this one is a bit boring for investigation [char Nino presents conflict of interest].

Baas seems to know some information on Moon and these happenings; Brian was just passing along what he knew.

Stonefinger and Brian plan to speak, along with Baas.

Stonefinger starts by telling of his article posted on Weazel News. Winchester relation? Southside seems to be their hunting ground.

**A Diversion: Stonefinger offers some information on an underground fight club**

He also offers one thing that is not related to all this, but is something the PD might be interested in. He has a source in the SS, who witnessed what he called an "underground fight club". There's some sort of fight pit under the Vanilla Unicorn. Alabaster Slim name dropped - he gave instructions for some people to follow him or they die. At the pit were obviously Slim, Payne, ?, Mr. Rodgers, and Dexx. Some girl with purple hair. VIP section. Woman with grey hair. People and animal fights. Half time show where a woman was tortured then murdered by Mr. Rodgers. Threatened with death if cops alerted. Illegal shit like molotovs and dracos.

We would need evidence, says Baas. What about surveilling the black door by the pawn shop, the entrance? Stonefinger suggests. He won't give his source's name.

Brian questions the credibility of the source.

So this info is cool and all but this source needs checked out first.

Stonefinger returns with the footage for evidence: it's very fishy and untrustable. [some OOC stuff here]

Another article to come soon for Rico's Herr Kutz. Brian and Baas say they still don't get Winchester's involvement. Stonefinger's doing some good work; Brian and Baas offer their services.

Stonefinger leaves and the officers talk on Sun Moon.

After some days of silence, Baas and Brian talk together on Talon then meet with Stranger.

An old meeting spot with Stranger. "Things are not okay," he says. They like to flaunt - something is wrong. So what is the group doing?

They talk on the unknown. Stranger has been in contact with Sayid Mitra in order to get closer to whoever is putting those Talon videos online, as people with those types of skills are in a limited number. He asks if Brian or Baas know anything about a "Jacob Storm".

Nah.

Stranger continues, apparently there were some hackers employed by Life Invader. Storm has connections to "hackermans". Stranger coughs. Sun Moon is on the board of directors at Life Invader. We need to stay a step ahead of Talon.

Brian breaks the news that Sun Moon was lit on fire and his body was riddled with bullets; an attempt had been made on his life. Another bout of coughing from Stranger, a bit stronger than before.

Stranger: "Winchester, Sun Moon...that explains some things...but..." He had a source that was concerned with the lack of contact with Sun Moon these past few weeks. We have a leak!

What?

"Think about it, the names, the pilots - on the list: Winchester, Sun Moon, Allen Wideman, checking names down the list."

But does the list actually coincide? Where does Winchester fit in?

Stranger says he doesn't have the time to fully check - nothing to waste on what might not be coincidences. He talks a bit on his list. "We can either sit on our ass and wait for Talon to strike again..." or "we drive them out." Stranger wants to use Stonefinger. Again, Talon loves publicity; they wouldn't be able to ignore Stonefinger.

Who's got this list anyway?

If it's just us three and your provider of the list, he's gotta be the leak. Is this list linked to Talon? Provider of list: Chang.

Brian questions. People on the list are all flight-certified. There's no motive. Only one of these names fit description of the guy who was flying the cargo bob. What's up with Winchester and Talon?? Stranger says power and money - or at least, they can offer things to Winchester.

Okay so assume Winchester did work for Talon. He could have helped them into the building, etc. But looking into this isn't actionable. We should probably speak to Allen to let him know he may be targeted. Whatever our next step is, it should be isolated from Chang. Car and DNA are possibly good for next leads.

They break.

Later, Stranger calls. His raspy voice tells him to take a train south into some tunnels and then go up some stairs.

Brian, Copper, and Stranger discuss the fourth video released by the Talon group. RPG. Access to explosives beyond just c4. Not much more new information than that. Stranger says the armor the Shredder wears is upgraded from before. They have a history of explosive use. Drills were heard at the end of the video, and Stranger concludes that the Pillbox North subway, where they are standing now, is a potential next location for Talon.

Then, Stranger tells of the notes being left around LS - access to the dark web with a code. Talon's logo is seen next to some links. Brian jumps in and gives some reflections. Talon funding / recruiting?

Stranger thinks Talon is hunting for him. A man posing as a reporter - deep voice and frog-like, yet almost mechanical.

On the dark web, there is a photograph of Stranger having a discussion with Stonefinger: the latter is thought to be being followed as well. Stonefinger and Rico had given Stranger the description of the fake reporter following Stranger.

Brian tries to find out in what manner Stranger has been acquiring all this information - was it separately? Together with others?

Independently. Rico also said the deep voice guy was very short.

And what tipped them off?

"Not acting like a news reporter," and asking some off questions. Stonefinger caught a date, February 15th, and called out the guy who rephrased that he worked for The Herald rather than Weazel News. Also the reporter wouldn't give his name - very weird for that profession. Brian ensures Copper can access the dark web page.

Brian says it was likely only Stonefinger followed, and not also Stranger. Stranger agrees it could be a coincidence, and that he needs to check in with Stonefinger.

We can work with this. We have Stonefinger travel to a location that is difficult to follow - someone discreetly observes if the location is compromised: just need a broken taillight and a detainment. Given the weight of this situation this seems a possible course of action. Brian and Copper discuss while Stranger has a string of coughs. More chat on status and possibilities. The leak. Winchester's name again. LB, says Brian. Seizing the moment, says Stranger. Could be taking advantage of the SS chaos, says Copper.

"Talon's claws are deeper than we thought," remarks Stranger.

He then continues, death of Jacob Storm. Now, Brian admits Storm's involvement in the past with some Russians - weapon movement. But no further information known on his death. Why his name, again? Given by Mitra, says Stranger - someone capable of hacking for Talon.

Brian and Copper to speak with Stonefinger. Stranger says he'll remain in the subway system looking for movement and more answers.

[Hirona and Mehdi can't get too into dark web shit - fuck, Talon is like everywhere and now like no one can investigate LOL]

Brian updates Baas on the Talon investigation latest - DNA needs checked [OOC], subpoena, [more OOC stuff like Mehdi and Hirona's alternative characters and who can/will/should lead/also do the investigation, the investigation itself...] etc.

A call: "Your partner, Sam Baas, won't be coming on duty any longer." The caller promptly hangs up. Sounded like Talon. Oh shit.

Brian searches for Baas. Brian checks out Talon garage, a prior location.

Angel has information on Baas: Baas has a bounty on his head - swamp area in Harmony - a woman was told to walk home. If cooperation by Baas and the woman, there is a 60% chance that Baas lives. Tessa Lamp name dropped. Talon called her later and told her he was a corrupt cop and they removed his corruption from LS: he's being held somewhere underground.

What are they asking for, specifically? Angel doesn't know how to contact the shadow organization. Brian knows a way, but it's not 100% reliable. Anyway, Baas could still be alive!

Brian talks to Copper about Baas' disappearance. Copper will continue to investigate. Baas was a target, Brian feels. So let's backtrack, why was he the next target, there were some indicators yet cannot remember... Off-duty, Baas has been seen with Tessa Lamb: she's his daughter. Originally Baas was a target, right? Wait, how did Talon get his number? And how do they know now about Brian's involvement? There's only Stonefinger and Stranger, but also really anyone else in the force.

Anyway, back to Baas being possibly dead. There's a chance if not - tortured for information? Need to meet with Stonefinger as a means of communication.

Stonefinger meets up with Brian and Copper: he says he just returned from a meeting with Stranger, in which he recalled to Stranger of these notes he continuously found which only read, "we are watching." Stranger told Stonefinger that photos were taken of the two together, and that a colleague (Ray from Weazel News?) found photos on the dark web. Brian checks online, the backdoor is no longer. There's a new set of puzzles, some questions.

Rico called, someone posed as a reporter from Weazel News, with a voice with a 'strange' cadence...a slow cadence, sorta low. Not a known Talon voice. That was it for the conversation between Stranger and Stonefinger. Neither Stranger nor Stonefinger (nor Brian) can seem to find where the location is where the Talon video was filmed in a sewer system: either a place not usually accessible and hidden, or something new being dug. So the connection between Talon and the dark web is the usage of the latter for the former's business. Also, new units in dark web: currencies do not exactly match.

Brian asks for a fluff news article - sure, can do. Stonefinger's only talked in depth of this to Stranger, Brian, and Baas. Brian doesn't tell Stonefinger Baas is missing and that Copper is just a casual other cop in the car.

Lots of variables. And what the fuck is up with their messages of corruption and seemingly different actions. Goal and propaganda. Anarchy of the system. Discussion. Corruption of PD, DOJ and DA/ADA, says Copper. Only evidence for corruption of PD, says Brian - they haven't attacked any DOJ members and such. What about banks and the rich? Waiting game for now. Need to speak with Tessa, etc.

In hopes of finding clues to find Baas, Brian investigates the darkweb. Talon has Baas, or at least information on Baas. A lead that Brian can drive regarding Talon is the darkweb (indications on the darkweb of Talon). Thus, investigation of darkweb. Purpose: Baas. Refer Arc "Dark Web".

Brian meets in secrecy with Tessa, who's been laying low. Remember, daughter of Baas, who's missing. Brian asks if Tessa has any leads. She received a call - appearance that he is still alive. They threatened Tessa to not go to the police, and if she does, they'll cut off Baas' head, show it to her, then shoot her in the face. She's a bit depressed and doesn't want to accidently involve anyone else if there's danger. She's noticed some cars following her: one, a white Washington. She was with Sun Moon at the time.

Private number calls in the middle of Brian getting Tessa's account: "Sam Baas has been cleansed of his corruption. You will find him in one of your corrupted headquarters. Good luck." The shredder's voice.

Decision to make. Brian cannot call this in, Tessa's with him. They need to split. Plan: Tessa waits at a house while Brian hunts for Baas. Still with his Camaro and his undercover getup, Brian parks his Camaro and steals another car, hotwiring it. Needed gas. Brian gets Copper on the phone. Once she confirms she is alone and out of sight, Brian tells her he has a lead on Baas' location. He gives it to her to call: alert the others in the department or it's a trap and don't alert. She says she'll get Snow.

Baas!!! He lays motionless on the ground, next to a note. Sandy Shores location. Brian tells Copper and Snow over the radio. Brian quickly puts Baas in his car - he's not breathing and doesn't seem to have a pulse. Burns cover his body. Fuck! To Pillbox! Sirens all the way. Snow meets him as he approaches along with 2 doctors, Choi and Carter. Doesn't look too good, he's been tortured for days.

While in surgery, it's seen that multiple lacerations are on Baas' left shoulder. Brian suggests they lock down the hospital. The PD department now knows Baas is in surgery, but no one else is to be informed. Not even Tessa. Surgery continues. Baas' fingers continue to bleed and the fingernails on his left hand are missing. A nail is found in his left shoulder.

A bloody symbol is found on Baas' chest: it's the Talon symbol. Brian calls Tessa with a whisper. Baas' right shoulder has massive burn marks from what could have been a blowtorch. Baas suddenly flatlines. The doctors continue to work, pulse comes back... Brian pleads for Baas to live. It doesn't seem he can be taken off the ventilator. Heart rate is shallow but has been steady for a bit. Brian talks aloud to Baas again, reminds him of Tessa and the danger on her life. ICU for Baas. Brian gives a monologue to Baas' motionless body laying on a bed.

Brian quickly tells them Tessa's current predicament. Snow tells of some jobs on the dark web page RICO. Units, rolls. Brian says all these shadow orgs are all connected. Snow's got questions.

Angel and Hunter join the trio.

"Did you find him? You will see soon. Other people are corrupted..." PD is corrupted but DOJ is more corrupted, he says. Target acquired.

Snow talks on the dark web. Refer "Dark Web" Arc.

Brian tells of the clusterfuck of yesterday. Illuminati, Prune Gang, Garage Q people, vampires, Smileys, Dan, Weazel News (Ray)...[refer to these Arcs]. Brian gives some info.

Snow shares a possible vampires-related picture.

Brian begins his lengthy recap to Snow, Copper, Angel, and Hunter. [Mehdi reiterates what's already written in here. I presume there are a few comments from the others I have skipped past and missed, note. Dark's torture video audio file full added as vod link.]

Tessa's in danger.

New Talon video released: JUDGEMENT: in it, the camera focuses on Baas, who's seen in plain clothes sitting on a chair in a dark room that appears to be underground. Surrounding him look to be torture devices. Shredder asks Baas some questions which Baas answers. Baas refers to Shredder as "Shadow". Perhaps Shredder's name, or one of his names at least, is Shadow? Another man is seen, a man in a black suit with a skeleton mask. He stands silently with his hands clasped in front of him. Shadow says Baas doesn't even know who he's supposed to be serving, and that he blew up the FIB building to "see who would care". Shadow confronts Baas regarding a prior situation involving Fiona - "You called for the execution of the bank robber. Before Fiona was anywhere near safety, one of your officers, and I quote, yelled, "Run you stupid bitch". Shadow considers this to be a mistake, and repercussions must be made. Baas admits he "fucked up". Yet there are hundreds of mistakes, many not brought to light. "You cannot operate on your own free will," finishes Shadow, raising one arm. The man in the black suit kneels in front of Baas and the screen flickers before Baas scream of torture is heard. "This right here, is true justice," Shadow's voice is heard. Symbol of Talon shows. Then the visual comes back, it seems a few days has passed. Baas sits in the same chair, and says he's seen the light and is "no longer corrupted." Baas agrees verbally that the PD and the DOJ are corrupted. "You must pay for what you've done." Screen flickers again, man in suit stands near Baas and the latter screams again in pain. "You will be forever marked by Talon." Baas yells for the torture to stop. Video flickers again. It comes back - Baas is covered in gasoline: a molotov is thrown onto him, and fire erupts around Baas. The video ends with Baas' screams and the Talon symbol.

Brian takes notes as he watches the video. This groups seems to know a lot about Fiona's past incident.

Phone call from Talon - same voice. Brian calls Shredder Shadow. Brian yells at Shadow about Baas, who responds, "I already told you Brian, because of corruption." "You fucking twisted his mind around and set him on fire, how is that cleansing?! That's virtually murder!" Brian retorts. "You will see," is the answer. Beep. Well, we fucking dead.

Brian gives Soze a quick update of sorts, referencing Fiona's earlier incident with Eugene lighting up, which has some start to this.

While picking up some food, Brian meets a bearded man in a black outfit outside the shop. The man asks for food and money - Brian takes a moment from his day to give him some.

The next day, Rhodes call Brian to his location over the radio. He pulled over a guy who won't say anything besides Brian's or Copper's names, just repeating them. As Brian approaches, he notices the man cuffed, outside his car, in all black. It's the same man from yesterday... He asks for pills for the pain. Stranger?! Rhodes says he was caught doing a 10-60. Brian says we can't talk here, let's go to Paleto.

It IS Stranger! Brian asks why he's on the street stealing cars. It's necessary, and it's a way to get information. They agree the newest video released by Talon is not good, but does give more clues. Stranger needs that oxy; Brian will have to find a way to get the pills back to him. Inside Paleto's PD, and surrounded by the other officers, Stranger puts on a show. Brian tells Rhodes and Columbo that Stranger is a CI and that he needs medical assistance, but needs it without anyone else knowing - it needs to be a silent prescription. They plan on getting him approved for a fake ID and medically approved for oxy prescriptions. Brian returns to Stranger to pass along the information, and warns him that if he, Brian, is not around, Stranger may very well see inside Bolingbroke - serious time and fines. Something Stranger cannot afford right now in his condition and with the current events. They discuss Tessa and the next targets. Together, they agree they will refer to Shadow as Shredder. Stranger says he has license plates, etc. There is a spy watching. They will convene later.

As they leave the station, Stranger and Brian put back up the act of a discouraged criminal and unaffected cop.

Brian meets Fiona per chance, and talks to her, starting to work on what info he can get.

Brian meets with Copper and Snow. Talk on release of the latest Talon video. Brian shares his notes on just the video. How does Talon know these specifics of Fiona incident? Court case and such can be a thread to investigate. Brian says he's since talked briefly to Fiona, and brings up the idea of a fake ID for Stranger.

Stonefinger tweets on new Weazel News article: "Talon Escalates War On Police".

A phone call: "Listen to my instructions very carefully, officer... Take a car, unmarked, tinted windows, go to Paleto, take the trail next to the police department that goes down to the beach. On the beach, there is a red check, next to the red check do not get out. Do you understand?" It's Stranger. Brian considers telling Metzger, the current highest ranked officer.

Brian links up with Metzger, who concurs and just wants to know where Brian will be. He assists Brian with a vehicle to use. Once in his undercover getup, Brian makes his way to Paleto.

As Brian slows near a red building, he turns off his lights and Stranger appears in a doorway and he quickly jumps into the back of the car. Stranger says "gun deal" and identifies a SUV. Stranger gives Brian directions to reverse his way and that he heard the car horn. Stranger's raspy voice tells his pain grows, same as Talon. Brian starts to talk on the latest Talon video. Stranger hands over some fake plates for Brian to use in future private undercover meetings. Brian parks behind a building and he and Stranger walk to a relatively enclosed and remote location. Stranger now gives his thoughts on the video - it's very disconcerting, he says. Talon may be growing in size. Brian says it's the influence that may actually be growing. Watching, not looking! Stranger points to a specific timestamp, 4:50 mark - another figure seen. They revealed quite a bit of info. Stranger has a lengthy couple of coughs. They have proven the hypocrisy. How did Talon get a hold on this in depth info on Fiona - relation to Fiona: attended court case? Have a communicator? Etc.

Talk moves onto dark web (refer "Dark Web" Arc). [Also lots of crossover obviously but I'm trying to not double up text as much as I can.]

Stranger says these additional investigations may stray too far from Talon.

"Watch the Watchers," recommends Brian. They give information.

Stranger says one individual has been looking into the victims of Talon, other than Stonefinger: however, this guy has given many names for himself so he's hard to identify. He's asking certain relevant questions and is following Stranger's trail in investigating Talon. While driving in the SS, Stranger believes he caught the man's license plate: 79000JTQ. Brian checks the database - look to be fake plates. Comes back to James Muldoon, an EMT. # not in service. Stranger describes this guy as short, with a deep almost robotic like voice. This description reminds Brian of a previous conversation he had recently (refer "Dark Web" Arc). Stranger mentions "Digital Den". This man sells electronics. Sounds like Jacob. This man told Stranger he was a news reporter part time and electronic salesman part time. Brian remembers Stonefinger told him of a similar voice. Brian suggests Stranger keep an eye on this dude - doesn't seem dangerous, but interesting. Stranger repeats that this individual has been following the victims and has also communicated with Stonefinger in the past. This is the same guy who previously claimed he worked for Weazel News and was caught in the lie.

Brian asks how much Stanger trusts Stonefinger. Not fully, but enough to give him some information for his stories. Brian calls Stonefinger intelligent, yet is worried of Stonefinger's ability to keep quiet on certain things. Stranger vouches for Stonefinger's ability to keep a secret.

"Talon made a move, so it's our turn, officer." Stranger says we need Stonefinger for the next move. Talon has not been held accountable for their actions. Risky plan: The final victim on February 15th was Hondoe(?) - not seen since the attack. We could fake medical records of this guy's death. Would confront Talon's message. Holy shit that's risky, says Brian. But if it were to play correctly, imagine, returns Stranger. That might be what needs to be done...Brian considers. If we do it, we will have to be careful.

Stranger says Talon has since contacted Fiona.

Talk moves onto the dark web (refer "Dark Web" Arc).

Brian tells Stranger the PD is working on getting him a prescription for oxy.

Choi 911 calls that a victim from the FIB bombing of Talon's doing just passed away. Apparently his medical notes said he was brought in from that explosion and he's been in the hospital ever since in a coma. Brian takes photos. Perfect, we needed a death, we can use this one rather than fake one!

Stonefinger calls - Brian says he knows about the body. Brian recommends Stonefinger not talk to anyone but Brian himself or Stranger - trust nobody. Brian checks the man's phone history and copies it for his records.

Later, Brian calls Stonefinger - Brian says he needs to speak with Stranger. Jay Stevens passed, one of the victims of the FIB bombing, Talon's introduction. Brian suggests an polished article written on Jay Stevens, to be published for the public to see the disastrous consequences of Talon's actions.

Brian shares a document with Snow and discusses Talon / Zancudo event.

Brian tells Snow there is a fourth individual in the Talon video - latest. Jay Stevens is going to be pushed as a narrative for use by the PD. Relation to someone described similar to Jacob...he seems to be following the victims of the FIB bombing. Connection here. Snow will look into it a bit on his side. Snow says he may also have more information on the sales on the sloth road site. Brian and Snow will share updates.

Brian learns that Baas has woken up from ICU. He heads to Pillbox and makes a request to be notified if Baas wakes up again.

Brian meets up with Baas. The latter says he's not happy with the PD and his voice is depressed with no hope. He says his injuries were great, and he watched the video out of curiosity. He cannot look at himself in the mirror anymore - he feels ashamed, he feels damaged.

"There's nothing to be ashamed of Baas!" You were tortured, you did what you had to do. "They came after you because you were onto them. We were getting close, there's no other reason for it."

Baas lets out a long sigh and says he had a lot of time to think in his hospital bed. "What if there really is corruption -"

Brian says cut it out, they set off explosives in a building with people in it.

Baas wonders if his family in blue would miss him if he were gone. There's no unity. He's frustrated.

Of course, there are problems. But that doesn't warrant Talon's actions. We can do something about it, ourselves. We can change it from the inside. We can't give up!

Baas agrees, and states he's just lost and feels defeated.

Brian continues his pep talk. "Look at the officer you trained me to be, [Baas]."

Brian's friend doesn't know what to do. Think of Tessa. Think of others like her. We'll never be perfect, there are a lot of challenges we face, and some we will fail, but we cannot give up - that's when they win.

Baas' voice falters - "Brian - we can never give up, there is a lot to live for." He wears his badge for the city. But what if he deserved this, Baas wonders. Brian counters, they would want to take the very best to send a message. It's just psychological warfare. They defended their actions based on the lack of an oath - there is no right there.

It's about preserving life and de-escalation, realizes Baas. We're only human, says Brian. Baas lets out another sigh, this one seems a bit more relieved than his last.

Brian says he has more leads than Baas could imagine. Baas worries for his daughter, Tessa. The only scenario she's safe from this is if we catch them, Baas - Brian tells Baas of the phone call Talon gave Tessa, the one that threatened her.

"As an officer that has some sense of sensibility, if you get off this case, Talon's going to roam free." Brian says. Baas returns that he'll check in with Tessa - he wouldn't be able to bear losing her. Glad you're alive, Baas. He had a will to survive.

Let's get back out there.

The next day, Baas says Shredder called him about a half hour ago, but he had to respond to an armored truck call. Now in a car for a private conversation, Baas explains that Shredder called him to ask how he was - Shredder says he cared about Baas and that Baas was one of them now. Baas tells Brian in an outburst that he has trust issues. Is Baas buying into it, a bit? Baas says he's acting on his own terms. Terrorist sympathizer now? Baas denies. Brian reminds Baas of their actions and statements towards Tessa. Yes, the department is fucked up and not perfect, but that doesn't justify any of these actions by these skumbags. Plus they lit you on fire after you repented.

Baas is still "in a dark place, mentally at least". He feels he deserves this treatment, and he is at fault. Why the guilt, asks Brian. What have you done? Baas cannot remember. Yet who is Talon to determine levels of corruption, "their entire existence is corrupt". Seems like Baas just needs to talk and some time. Baas is fixated on why him, and how Talon knows.

Brian asks why/when Talon first contacted Baas. It was a phone call in which Shredder told the oath to Baas. Then, the videos were reviewed and all this started. Baas checks for the phone call date: March 14th. Baas wrote a consequent report: #3072.

Incident with Fiona and Eugene: March 3rd, with the court case March 11th.

Brian says they should continue to watch, but shouldn't interview Fiona, at least not yet. Brian has more leads he can share, but Baas wants to take more of a backseat in the investigation because of the danger to Tessa.

Stonefinger calls a few days later: he says he has something "disturbing".

Stonefinger tells Brian and Baas that Shredder, aka Shadow, called him and asked him how a problem within the DOJ and PD would be handled - Shredder/Shadow claims corruption within the DOJ and that he has proof. Stonefinger received an encrypted email from a dummy account - it contains a contract signed between Judge Stanton, Eugene, Kiki, and Dimitri. [same contract showed to Nino by Dimitri a few months back]. A judge is basically paying money to catch Bovice. Where's the line? They talk on Bovice's rights and the principles at play.

Brian debates if he should tell Baas and Stonefinger something.

"It's time to expose everybody, from the top to the bottom," Baas shockingly says. What? What, Baas? Stonefinger says he's writing a piece, he can go to Stanton and also can spin words. Wait before publishing just yet, says Brian.

Alone with Baas, Brian questions his friend, "Would you ever join Talon?". Hesitation, then a light "no". Brian presses this response a bit.

Brian talks to Angel about Stanton and Talon - and what can be expected to come and how to address and combat it.

Weeks pass, then Brian is requested by Choi and Stonefinger to meet. [Refer The Illuminati Arc] Talon is briefly discussed by Brian, The Narrator/Dwayne, Choi, and Stonefinger:

What about Talon? Dwayne and Choi state that although they seem to share the same vision here, the actions of Talon do not match the words they say. Dwayne had plans to contact them and investigate Talon, and knows some people have working ties with the terrorist group. Talon was discussed in the last Illuminati Council meeting group - Dwayne had made a suggestion to cut ties with Talon and the power struggle mentioned earlier entered. Windsong is a part of the Order. A man named Bedlam(?) in the Order caught wind that Dwayne was attempting to figure out the identities of the secret few at Pillbox - this lead to Dwayne and Choi being kidnapped, tortured, burned, and a nail driven into his left shoulder. While imprisoned, talk was overheard of a potential compromise. Choi was taken to another room while Dwayne was left to listen to her torture. Same people who went after Dark? Their masters, replies Dwayne. Dark's chest had engraved "LF" - it was assumed to be a threat to Lauren Forcer. Dark, Baas, and Dwayne's tortures all had similarities: burns, nails, knife, etc. Choi is visibly uncomfortable and swallows hard, harms crossed in front of her. Seems like a copier, says Dwayne.

0956

7512

5086

8505

Circle (series must be completed)

thegrave[.]xyz domain leads to a page with three words and moving shapes as the page is scrolled: "please help me".

thegrave[.]xyz/granted/ leads to a page showing 4 numbers with the words "keycode access". It's currently reading locked. Code 6124.

thegrave[.]xyz/granted/verified leads to a page with 2 interlocked triangles within a larger rectangle on a black background with the letters J, R, and "C" (in quotations) surrounding. On closer inspection, the words "Sexiest Lawyer in Town!" can be seen.

Brian inputs the code 4217 after clicking "C".

New page: "Memory Leak Hypothesis" words are contained with a cycle of the again letters J R and "C". New numbers surround: 628, 589, and 4285.

Clicking "C" again - new keycode. Apparently, as the text message says, this guy is asleep and Brian will have to wait for someone.

Still working with Siz, Brian's temp partner suddenly exclaims the next puzzle guy is Saab. The phone number on that page matches Saab's number in Siz' contacts list.

Siz says he has an idea who it is. He wants more money. Adriana West. Summer Mersion. Kevin Shaw. Just listing lawyers.

On the phone later, Siz gives Riker's name. [The J R "C" = Johnathan Riker "Cameron" (the latter as Nino called him)].

Brian calls Saab for the code. He's apparently in a race though and is not free.

Brian has a text from the mysterious person who directed him to the site - still asking for help. Additionally, another text: he has the next clue but doesn't get it and wants help from Brian.

It's: "Parsons | Catch | H | er." "Read For the Numbers" alongside. Counting the numbers of letters, 7512 is obtained. It doesn't work as a code. Maybe it's a code needed later. Brian calls Saab back to ask for the code.

Saab's still racing, he's in first and doesn't want to give up his spot. Some casual conversation later and Brian offers to pull over the guy right behind Saab. Their phone line stays open [hard to hang up while driving].

0956. Brian tries it out. Following screen again plays music and shows an archived FIB file on Johnathen "Cameron" Riker. See image on the right. Another C in the word "CAUTIOUS". Another keycode needed.

What about 7512 now? It works! Slightly different music, but same theme. Piece of paper, with a picture in the middle - some man/woman in a hood. Brian seems to think it's Grimoire Carolynn Hauttogs III. Scribbles frame the picture. A transparent red x covers the parchment. Dead? Top right is scrawled "J 'C' R". Another C, another keycode.

Brian inquires via the PD radio if anyone knows if Grim is alive. Toretti just saw her in a taxi cab. Brian texts the mysterious number back that he made it through another keycode. The reply is that he hopes Brian is getting closer to helping him. Then, "18-1-10-1".

Brian asks some uninterested women outside of Pillbox if they've seen Grim [bike is scuffed so they only see him off it].

Mysterious number texts to say the latest doesn't seem to be a code and he's lost. Brian shall continue looking at it. What about the alphabet? "18-1-10-1" = Raja. Okay, someone else to talk to. Grim and now Raja. Or at least investigate them.

Brian texts for Grim and asks some fellow officers if they know a guy named Raja. [More scuff, they can see Brian but cannot hear him.]

Later, Brian sees Siz and tells him he has the next code. Brian, Siz, and Saab all need to discuss what's going on.

Brian attempts to reach out to Raja by a few people at QF.

Raja gives Brian a call - they meet to discuss what the fuck is going on. Brian gives over his codes for Raja to check out. Along with Raja's pieces of the puzzle, they are able to figure out the next code: 5086.

The next page reveals a visual separated into 3 parts: one is for "Johnathen", which the picture corresponding smudged and colored over. The next, the one in the middle, is "Cameron", which has a red line through the name and a red "X" covering his picture. Dead personality, no more? The third is "Riker", with this picture being the clearest out of the three.

Text message: "The next clue is held with my friend. He says he wants to speak with you. Go to this next location alone and talk to the man in the mask. He'll be waiting." Brian replies he'll be there soon, referencing the circled red area on the map provided in the picture to him along with the text just above. Brian then proceeds to freak out. New text: "He tells me he is patient".

Brian drives his motorcycle to the set meeting location. Once there, he radios in to the rest of the PD that he's going off-duty for 15 minutes. He walks over to a man in a plaid shirt, dark pants, black gloves, black hat, and black mask standing overlooking the ocean waves.

"Well it's nice to meet you, I presume you're - Brian?" The man smoothly starts up the conversation, offering Brian a cigarette and asking him questions about Brian's goals and similar. He remains calm and calculated in his word phrasing.

Topic passes to who this man refers to as "Cammy" - Cameron. "Cammy" is a "sweet, little angel" and sent Brian to meet him. This man standing here appears to be possibly the personality Riker. Or it's Johnathen.

Brian jumps to the mysterious aspect of all this. What the fuck is his part in this story? According to this man, both himself and Brian are here to help. But "help" isn't exactly defined... Cameron is in deep shit, which means Riker is too.

The man points Brian in the direction of the next clue - in the nearby pool is a briefcase. To open this briefcase, a key is to be obtained from a table in Life Invader.

Still with no hesitation or breaks, yet remaining unflustered, the man states he is stuck in the middle of all this as he calmly makes his way back towards the road. Brian watches him, puffing on his cigarette.

The officer puts the cig out and dives into the pool, grabbing the briefcase found lying on the bottom.

Brian makes his way to Life Invader with the briefcase strapped to his motorcycle. He races up the stairs and finds a USB stick on a table. Placing the briefcase down, he inserts the USB into one of the computers. One of the files is an image, in which is a login ID, password, credentials for Cameron perhaps, codes, and some geometric colored shapes.

8504 - Brian tries the number of lines in the shapes portion as the next code. Doesn't work. Looking at the visual, there are green words, so let's ignore the green for now. Outside to inside makes sense. Count the red, 8. Yellow, 5. Blue, 0. And finally, red again, 5. 8505.

This page reveals an entry of sorts. It leads with "Final Entry" and ends with "Sleep well, Cammy. :)". Refer image on the right. Johnathen is terrorizing the personality Cameron, who is the one asking for help. Through Riker, Johnathen learned of the website Cameron made to get help, and it also appears is the writer of the final line. Johnathen covered the final code. It seems all three personalities are aware of the others.

This is the first time the "C" doesn't lead to another keypass. Instead, it is the covered code. And it's no longer a keypad, either. It's something new: a spinning element with a dot. The mouse needs to be clicked with the cursor inside the circle 5 times perfectly in a row when the circling dot hovers over the other dot. Wtf.

Ah, there's the usual keypad. Final code still needed.

The phone rings. After answering, an animated and cheerful disposition voice is heard on the other side. He noticed Brian's activity on the website and can't believe Brian made it that far through the passcodes. Then, "Little old Cammy, he's gone. Finally took care of him. All that's left is to take care of Mr. Riker. Seems to me like I woke up in the middle of fucking nowhere and uh - my bike - little strange - [he cackles] don't you think? Isn't that a little strange? Oh man, oh man. So tell me now, Mr. Brian, what are you gonna do with those codes yet, huh? You know what I think you should do with those codes, Brian? I think you should just forget about it. Forget about it all. Let's not make it to the last page, shall we? Come on now, we don't want to make it that far. The last page, it's got some stuff I don't want anyone to see, no one. Including the cops, the cops, the cops - I can't have you guys seeing that stuff."

Brian says it might be too much for him.

The caller joyfully admits his name is Johnathen then happily ends the connection.

Fuck, Riker certainly is in trouble.

#### **[ARC] - Creepy's Reformation**

[GoatsNThugs]

**Brian develops a friend-like relationship with Creepy the Clown, a serial killer who keeps asking Brian for help. It's not a fairy tale ending, however...**

Brian develops a friend-like relationship with Creepy the Clown, a serial killer who keeps asking Brian for help.

Brian meets up with Creepy, who requests Brian ride passenger with him in his car as they drive. He tells Brian this is his last time driving his truck, as he sold it to Trina. Creepy turns on the radio to some music. They reach a bunker, and dance outside to the last few seconds of the song.

When it's silent again, Creepy says that he always listened to that song before taking someone here to this exact spot before he stabbed them. Silently, Creepy hands over a knife and a pet rock. "I wanted you to have that," Creepy repeats twice. It's his beloved knife. He says 27 names can be attributed to that murder weapon, yet none were attained after Brian gave him his knife back.

"I want to ask you a favor," Creepy says. "For all the people I've done that to, I've always wondered what it felt like. And I think it's time that I feel what it felt like to them, so know never to do it again, Brian. I need to know what it feels like."

Creepy stares at Brian, at his mercy.

But what if he dies?! Brian tells Creepy it's gonna hurt. Creepy says no one has to know, Brian can tell others he was threatened.

"Please, Brian, I need to know what it feels like so I know never to do it again."

But his job, his conscience, stabbing Creepy could make him a murderer! But please. "No." Brian refuses to stab Creepy.

Creepy slowly approaches Brian and gives him a hug, telling him it will be okay. He begs for Brian to stab him. Creepy then baits Brian into a fist fight. Seconds later, Creepy passes out.

"Creepy?" No response, no breathing, no pulse. Uh oh. Brian calls for help immediately. EMS and other cops finally show and they attempt to revive Creepy. No luck, to Pillbox. Fawkes and Trina listen to Brian's story of Creepy, the reformed serial killer.

Brian travels to Pillbox to say his final goodbyes to Creepy.

#### **[ARC] - Steele's Test**

A Test for Steele

**DJ wants to know if Steele is still a cop - is Steele undercover?! A meeting goes differently than Brian and Baas think.**

DJ wants to know if Steele is still a cop - is Steele undercover?! He banks on his CI cred. They chat just outside the VU.

DJ calls, frantic - apparently the conversation he had earlier with Brian was overheard by his boys on the other side of the wall. Brian makes his way to the scrapyard.

DJ says pieces of the conversation from earlier were overheard. Worried his life is in danger, he seeks the PD's help in protection services.

Anyone in your recent memory die from talking too much? Brian prompts.

"Ya, McAfee!"

Officer Brian and Baas' radios notify them cops are downed and they swiftly exit the old recycling building, saying they'll be back later to help with DJ's situation.

In their car, Baas turns the keys and he and Brian prepare for a shootout. Instead, Steele, in his iconic neon vest, approaches the car with an AP pistol(?). "Put your hands up, bitch!" He yells.

What a bad time, think Brian and Baas. Then, they are quickly surrounded by DJ and 2 other green members. Steele appears to be on drugs. It's only a few minutes and Steele places his AP into Baas' mouth, firing a few shots. The AP is then aimed at Brian's chest and shot again. The crew jumps into their car(?) and speed away from the scene.

Francis and Toretti are the first responders - medical is called. More back up arrives with an EMS vehicle shortly thereafter. [Seems GSF drugged up Steele and put him in that situation to test if he was CI. Might also be initiation.] Baas goes into the intensive care unit due to his injuries.

After his release from hospital staff, Brian is questioned by Malton - AP pistol bullet casings were found on scene. Brian, his memory hazy, says he and Baas were meeting with DJ involving something about a CI.

Not too long after, Brian casually answers a phone call from an anonymous number. Deafening silence is followed by some creepy musical tones, then: "Brian...I have...the video". What video?! Of Baas dying?! Brian confirms the number is private, thus untraceable, then makes a public tweet asking the video.

Soon after the tweet, the number calls again. A response after a heavy sigh: "Video of the shooting, Brian." This doesn't help much, stressed Brian has been in so many today already...which one?! Another tweet to make.

Another ring. DJ's squeaky voice is heard on the other end, prompting Brian to yell "DJ? Is that you?!" The deep voice from earlier responds to Brian, "What are you talking about? I have the video of Jordan Steele shooting Baas." The voice then requests that Brian didn't hear the beginning of the call. YEA I DID! NUH UH! YEA I DID! NUH UH! Etc.

Baas comes out of the ICU - he and Brian try to connect the dots. Brain tells Baas of the phone call just after from DJ.

#### **[ARC] - PD v Southside**

*As I'm skipping through the vod, I don't know exactly all that happened but I have tried to give an accurate story as possible...but I'm making this note as I'm pretty unsure. Lot of things going on at once with multiple groups and quite a bit of talking...*

**After Big E's death[perma], the PD fuck things up. Southside pissed. Now it's a tense situation between law enforcement and the SS. How can we de-escalate?**

After Big E's death[perma], the PD fuck things up by digging up the body, being disrespectful, etc. Then a weird order to raid. Southside pissed. Gonna be long week for PD.

Raid: Brian disagrees with the raid on Ballas' Big E's house (up in the air who the property was legally transferred to before the raid [Lil Kim]) - the timing of the raid ordered by the PD was horrible. [Also Ballas offline and that may have been their entire stash, or easily a good chunk of it.] However, orders to be followed, no matter Brian's thoughts.

Other shit happens, like a GSF member taking revenge on a petty arrest regarding a traffic stop, Eugene getting pulled over on his ATV by like 6 cop cars...

Some PD members try to escalate, some try to de-escalate. Situation continues to be tense for the crims.

Wayne talking on southside - locals big problem. Some other dude now joins conversation. Brian asks what they want, how can PD help. People not belonging in southside, stay out. Dexx, Speedy, Buddha would be good contacts for input. Wayne says Mack wasn't helping to calm the situation.

PD leadership take the force to the southside to take photos for the PD calendar in the public areas for the appearance of safety.

Now it's really escalating, on both sides.

WAR. (PD v LB and GSF)

Brian evaluates his trust extent with some of the criminals in the southside. The relationships he had built are being tested. Vague set of grievances; different presentations - trust just dropped here, significantly.

Following day, some member of PD discuss. Buddha joins the chat with a C2 on invitation from Conan as Brian, Conan, Copper, and Snow stand in a circle.

Brian confronts on the ambiguety of requests from the crims. Now they debate what the fuck went on and when. De-escalation cannot be one-sided, the PD and crims need to both lesson resistence. Now how we gonna do that. Buddha says he'll try, but the PD needs to stay out of his business. PD says we'll try, but we'll need to talk to the rest of the PD.

Conan calls his next meeting, one in the PD and with more members of the force. Hands on his hips, he gleefully gives his thoughts. Discussion then opens up to the others. They talk for a while. Brian's concern is this form of action they are seeking to pursue isn't going to work (it follows the same pattern as the last attempts), and also that the southside crims may misinterpret actions as representative of the entire PD force, which isn't true.

Conan informs Buddha that the PD will still go to the southside to do their job, but will post an apology video for digging up Big E's body. Buddha says okay, as long as there's respect. Ceasefire 24 hours. Here we go.

Snow, Angel, and Brian talk. They determine a unified response from PD is necessary as is a higher-ups meeting. Copper, Conan, Mineo join.

Later, Chief Bobby and Soze join - escalation. Basically, both sides have been making questionable decisions.

Brian still wants the PD to make a public notice owning up to faults (this would help politically). Come after the cops strong though, especially for petty shit that doesn't exactly balance, expect retribution.

Speaking with Soze one-on-one, Brian hears positive news that they can pursue a public video issued by PD.

See Arc "CG v LB/(?)".

Hours after it began, the action subdues. Chang tweets, "The Tyrants of SS are no longer, Time for the lil guys to prosper".

Some more shit happens.

6v6 Chang Gang vs Lean Bois (mostly)! Brian and Malton broadcast the event with an overhead view from a helicopter.

#### **[ARC] - LS Cleanser**

The Los Santos Cleanser

**A man seeks help from Brian; he doesn't trust himself. He threatens Brian's son Dan. Things come to a head and Brian makes a serious decision he must now live with.**

Mysterious notes. Brian meets with the dropper, who is requesting help from Brian to stop himself. He holds Dan, Brian's potential son, over Brian's head; he has a partner, who only delivers messages. He wants help as he blanks out for sections of time, always coming to with a knife in his hand and no memory. He shows Brian a knife, his most recent. Brian takes a picture for evidence and pockets the knife. He tells the masked man to try to recollect as much as he can and to not hurt Dan, handing over his phone number.

Brian responds to a call at the Vinewood Bowl - as Brian arrives, a man is rolled into an ambulance by an EMT. Next to the man was a note, addressed specifically to Brian. It's from The Los Santos Cleanser:

"Brian Knight, This man ignored his oath as a lawyer and allowed the citizens of Los Santos to suffer because of it. The escalation will continue. Lawyers, Judges, Officers, and Criminals will be given a chance to show their worth and that they care for the city. Those who fail will suffer. -The Los Santos Cleanser"

A suspicious tweet just moments later by a Jay Cornwall. Brian gives his number.

Then, a call from Jay. "Hey Mr. Knight, some guy paid me a thousand bucks to call some lawyer to go somewhere for him, and he told me in 30 minutes to call you and tell him good luck, I don't know what this is about, I mean, I assume it's about someone breaking the law."

Brian invokes panic then tells him to call down. Brian requests a full written statement of as many details as this guy can remember.

Another stab victim, Hailee Marie Thompson, mere hours later. Another note addressed to Brian.

"Brian Knight, No one in this city will be safe until you admit what we already know: You cannot catch me. The next victim will be an officer of the law. Citizens like this one are considered to be rats. Maybe now the LSPD will take notice and defend them the way they deserve. It may be too late for this citizen. Did Okada make it? He's one of the biggest problems. You should have heard the way he bragged about defending the scum of the Southside. He told me I couldn't trust you Brian. That's how I knew I couldn't trust him. -The Los Santos Cleanser"

Brian talks to the latest victim Hailee. She says he just showed up, said, "give a message to Brian Knight," then stabbed her. But she wasn't called there, she just happened to be in the place.

Brian says she has nothing really more to worry about from the Serial Stabber. Seconds later, it's confirmed the 2nd to last victim is now dead. Fuck.

Arrives on next scene. "No pictures, No games". Brian updates his fellow comrades on this case. Wait, gunshots, not a stabbing. Yay, not our case probably!

Another note! Reads:

"we dont liek it when u tke piks of us snow pls stop - dark web"

Not this Arc, but need to alert Snow.

Dan gets shot and then freaks out about being a target.

Chief Bobby confronts Brian about bringing a reporter into the mix publicly.

Ray, from Weazel News, and Brian plan to meet up.

A Reverend stops by Brian and Baas. He offers to help with the Cleanser - "I do watch a lot". Brian agrees with this. An article with be written; the Reverend can go off that. Reverend wants to know if there is speculation about any of the killers/etc. in LS. Nah. Reverend is curious now, and says he'll get to the bottom of things.

Brian and Ray meet. Brian agrees to talk to Ray if the following parameters are met: he gives the information, he gets to review the article before post, and this information should be treated as sensitive for the current time. Agreed. Brian begins. A serial killer feels unnoticed - it is thought he may have Dissociative Identity Disorder. Notes are left by the stab victims enlisting Brian's help. He wants something to stop, but it is unclear exactly what he desires or his motives. A man not all that long ago approached Brian and said he wakes up covered in blood with a mask and sometimes with a knife.

Ray mentions he saw a similar note as the ones Brian describes yesterday. He pulls it out of his pocket and reads it - ah, it's one we've already seen.

Another officer gave Brian a new note just moments before. Now, Brian reads it aloud in the presence of Ray:
"Brian, I hope your son conveyed the message delivered to him. you have 72 HOURS TO HAVE MY MESSAGE PRINTED ON THE FRONT PAGE OF WEASEL NEWS, LOS SANTOS HERALD, SOMEWHERE BRIAN. IT BETTER BE KNOWN BY THE MASSES. The headline BETTER READ: "Ginzu Okada, dirty lawyer, cleansed by the Savior of Los Santos" Brian, we're friends. Do NOT make me an enemy. Do not make me ask again. I followed you from the PD to this meth lab place up north. (You should stop crashing so much Brian, its concerning) Your car was gone when I tried to leave this note there. Just know I now know where your safe zone is Brian. I don't think its a coincidence you went there after your son delivered my message. You fellow officers and sons are in your hands Brian."

What the fuck! Brian and Ray both agree they can't post that on the website. That can't happen. Oh, that might be why Bobby was losing his shit. So, 72 hour deadline starts about now, full 3 days. If we can't give this guy the only thing he's requested, how do we stop the murders and behavior?

Stonefinger, lead of Weazel News, will need to be consulted on this one maybe. Not much can be done now; they split.

"Brian Knight, How many chances do I have to give you to spread my message of injustice in Los Santos to the media. Note after note I've left you Brian. My patience is running thin. And time for your fellow officers is running out. My car is broken down and may need to be towed. It would be a shame if Dan showed up to help me. Last chance Brian. Spread my message or your fellow officers and son will fall. I haven't seen Okada in the Yellow Pages today. If he is indeed gone the city is a better place. Dan is a good kid. Don't make me group him with the rest of the scum I'm attempting to cleanse."

Brian, on exiting a bank, sees a man in a black mask. He tells him they need to talk. Vinewood Bowl.

Vinewood Bowl stand off.

"Did you get my notes?" black mask asks.

Brian calls Ray - plans to meet in 10 minutes in PD.

"Am I talking to the killer, or am I talking to *you*."

"We've never spoken before Brian, I think that will answer your question." Sure does. This is the killer.

"What is it that you want, exactly? And what's gonna prevent the next guy from coming in and demanding the same thing?"

Next guy doesn't matter, I have a mission. I've never lied to you, that's my guarantee.

I'll see what I can do.

"I came to you because I thought I could trust you. Do not let me down."

You may have trust in me, yet you're stabbing multiple innocent people - this guy's play is not all that flushed out. Brian questions the motivation, how one article page will address it, and then the extent of coverage he's requesting. How's one page gonna help?

It'll start a revolution and give the tools needed for the change.

He makes his final threat, the one we've heard before, and turns on his heel. Brian watches him walk away for a few seconds.

BANG BANG BANG. It's the sound of a PD shotgun. As the man was opening his car door, Brian took him out. The man's body slumps onto his steering wheel, the bullets having made their mark. Brian pulls him out of the car. Brings homage to his last words, "the only thing that will stop me, is death."

"Don't you ever come after my fucking son, you son of a bitch." Brian kneels next to the Cleanser. Blood starts to puddle around his head and under the mask.

Brian takes evidence photos then speeds away. Then, his tires squeal to a stop. Fuck, he has to go back. He turns the wheel hard and stops next to the man. By now, the puddle of blood around the body has grown significantly. Brain matter and skull fragments join the mix. The officer cleans the scene and drags the body into his car. Rain pours down in the darkness of the night as the shallow breaths of the man is heard from the backseat. Brian goes off road.

"It really didn't need to come to this. You want justice? THIS is justice, right here. You're right! Jordan didn't go to jail, did he? He got away with Kayden's murder! People walk the streets everyday with blood on their hands getting away with it...we put them away, the come right back out! What makes you any different?"

The man coughs as fluids enter his lungs. He stops breathing.

Brian calls in - "495...any actives?" in a cool, smooth voice. Situation going on, Brian says over the radio he's coming over to help. Still on back roads, Brian dumps the body into a lake then navigates the mountain back to the public roads.

While in a helicopter with the chief, Brian asks, "sir, would you ever kill for your daughter?"

Relatively casually, Brian is completely truthful on the beach and tells Chief of Police Bobby and Officer Draider he killed a man and dumped him in a lake - problem fixed, no more problem. Took care of it.

They barely bat an eye. Did they hear? They may or may not know...

The shotgun used, car, and other evidence was successfully cleaned up / destroyed. However, it remains to be known if Brian was seen by anyone...

The Chief walks up to Brian as he settles into his cruiser. Calmly, he asks, "Are you alright? Did you, did you have to take care of something?"

"Ye..." Brian is silent for a few seconds. Then, "I did."

"Is it ah, gonna come back to the police department?" "No sir." "Alright Brian, I'll see you out there." With not hesitation, he turns around and makes his way further on the beach with Brian silently watching his superior.

Ray calls a few days later. There's 24 hours left on the clock: it's ticking. Brian, having killed the murderer by this point, recommends that they wait for something else to happen and that he's still talking to Chief Bobby to move things forward.

Brian considers telling AJ what he did. Eventually, he whispers that he killed him. Then passes it off as a joke after AJ's reaction - can't get AJ involved for his own sake.

Ray approaches Brian at MRPD and asks for any updates; he also confirms the appearance so he can keep an eye out. Brian says no new updates and that Ray can call him if he comes across anything new/interesting.

Brian tells a few people he killed a man. None of them really seem to give a shit.

#### **[ARC] - Animalistic Rituals**

**Brian embarks on a fun adventure investigating strange happenings at O'Neil Ranch alerted by local(s).**

Brian embarks on a fun adventure investigating strange happenings at O'Neil Ranch alerted by local(s). Grandma's. Report in MDT: 3054.

**1st Call - Local**

* "Uhhhh yeahhh...theres some SUSPICIOUS AS FUCK shit at the Oniell Farm in Grapeseed. Bunch o' ppl dragging dead bodies into the house and some weeeeeird shit man! All I saw was some dark figures and I DEF saw a dead body"

Brian and Baas arrive on scene shortly thereafter, and investigate in the dark with flashlights drawn. They find a mound of dirt with chicken feathers on top, blood all over a part of the exterior walls, half-lit candles, a headless deer carcass, a headless pig corpse, a deer head, a symbol drawn in blood on the wall, cocaine, chicken heads lined up on the sofa, whiskey bottles and an empty bag with traces of white powder in it lay on the ground next to a sleeping bag in the corner, an ashtray littered with cigarette butts, joint roaches, and burnt incense sticks... Okay backup requested, what the fuck. Baas and Brian clear the house. They move next to the accompanying farm. Brian begins collecting evidence. He looks for DNA. Seems to be a trail...and looks like someone may have been sleeping here. Looks to have been rituals with an animalistic element. Brian checks the surrounding area for any abnormal activity. Baas falls off a silo and needs a quick EMS visit. Brian checks out Grandma's again and tries to make sense of what happened. Brian opens a report 3054 entitled "Animalistic Rituals" and puts the evidence he collected in an evidence locker. Cigarettes sent to lab for DNA testing.

**2nd Call - Local**

* "UHHH.....hello? I saw some shady stuff going down at the Oniell Farm again. Bodies being dragged...loud music...weird shit. Probably same creeps as last night!"

Another local call comes in. Brian speeds over to the location and pulls his shotgun. Another mound of dirt with feathers. Evidence documented and collected. Inside the house similar things as last time are seen. However, there's a used crack pipe, no bag of coke, and gas on the ground this time, perhaps some other minute things. Brian continues to scout the place with his shotgun at the ready. He climbs the ladder of a nearby silo and overwatches a short bit. He checks the surrounding land and hiding places, searching for movement or anyone else who could be related. He scopes for a place for himself to scout for the next time this occurs - a roof? The basement? Some bushes? As the rituals seem to happen at the same time of day, Brian can use this to gather more information and observe.

**3rd Call - Local**

* "HAY! There was a bunch of gunshots and a body being dragged into the Oniell Farm in Grapeseed. There was a few of them and a lot of them were wearing purple."

Again, a call. Brian enters with his shotgun and flashlight. Same drill as before, scoping, evidence investigation and collection. New: meat hooks hang from the ceiling. Antlers from the deer head on the wall are missing. No gas near the bed. Urine on toilet seat - may contain epithelial cells, which have DNA.

**1st Call - Okonkwo**

* "hunting" "No no no. I am doing the hunting. Courtesy call for Park Rangers."

'Hunting' - that warrants some attention.

PD internal talk on hunting activity - another report (4th call) was taken when Brian was away yesterday. They say they did take ample evidence and discuss.

**5th Call - Local**

* "HELLO! A bunch of people were speeding around the Oneill Farm and being loud, driving all crazy, dragging bodies and bring boxes inside the house! Weird shit man!"

It's in the middle of the day this time. Brian slams the brakes to a stop once he arrives to the front of the house and grabs his shotgun. Blood on exterior door, meat hooks in kitchen, some other same shit as seen before. Different: spines of skeletons of various lengths hang on the wall, and the house is now a trove for evidence with DNA. The fridge shelves are stacked with meats of various animals and different cuts. The second fridge the same. A line of salt lays on the floor in a doorway. Half-burned candles along the edge of the bathroom sink. Skull of a cow. Severed deer's head with no antlers. In a nearby doorway, a severed rabbit's head hangs by a string. Oxy pill bottle on the ground. Some more hanging rabbit heads. Obviously, took actions necessary for evidence.

**6th Call - Local**

* "YEEYAW!! Ahem...uhh hey...a bunch of people in a VW Beetle? pulled up to the Oniell Farm dragging bodies inside. Loud music, loud people, annoying!! Real suspicious too."

Inside Grandma's, Brian finds some of the usual, along with half-melted candles placed on a cabinet with wax dripping down the front, a headless and skinned carcass of a deer on the floor, A NOISE, SOMEONE'S HERE. Brian quickly glances at a tattered piece of paper underneath a candle - "Jambo Bwana". He sees the skull of a bull placed on a lamp with the lights directly in the eye sockets. Slowly checking each corner, Brian continues his evidence collection. On the walls are deer hides. More half-melted candles placed on the bathroom sink. The head of a rabbit hangs in a doorway by its ears pierced with the end of a string. A small bag with cocaine residue.

Suspense music. WTF. Brian tries to find the source.

Another skull of a bull on some lights. A severed head of a pig lays on a table as blood drops slowly onto the floor. An ashtray on the same table is filled with cigarette butts, joint roaches, incense sticks, and a cigar stub.

The music reaches another cresendo and Brian yells, "LSPD! Make yourself known if you're inside!"

An odd noise is heard, some sort of sizzle or whatever, and the microwave is smoking...

New bloody symbol, different than the last visits.

Brian wins the hide and seek game and finds a voodoo doll in a bush just outside.

Brian soon tells Copper and shows her the voodoo doll. Later, he calmly asks (?) in the PD about voodoo. The answer freaks Brian out and he grabs the doll from his evidence locker, runs to his car, drives to his apartment, and locks the doll in a chest. Okay, should be fine there...

Mere moments after setting up for his stakeout on the house the next day, a 911 call comes in. Too late to watch, just evidence collecting again today. Didn't arrive before midnight early enough.

**7th Call - Local**

* "Hi! Umm just wanted to report some weeeeird country backwoods ass shit at Oniell Farm. Bunch of pulled off like 5 min ago, one had a blue bandana coverin his face. He was draggin a body inside, but no way am I stickin around afterwards!!"

Brian heads in, shotgun drawn. Music intensifies. Around the corner a pig's head is seen on the table, facing the doorway. A line of salt again. Another ashtray. Another cocaine baggie. Empty oxy bottle. Empty beer bottles. Hung rabbits. Walls to the basement fully painted with blood now. As he descends the steps one at a time, a panicked "Brian!" is heard from above. WTF?! He runs back upstairs, any semblance of calm evaporated, and yells out exactly who and where he is. The voice is heard again. Back to the basement.

Brian finds a carcass of an unknown skinned animal which looks possibly bipedal. It lays next to the head of a goat and other unknown animal parts. On top is placed a pair of deer antlers. The walls down here are also fully covered in blood. The voice repeats Brian's name before, "why did you take it?" "the power" "the power come from you(?)" Brian assumes it's the doll. "It's calling to you, Brian!" Then a chant.

"You cannot run from it, Brian!" "You cannot die from it, Brian!" All of the artifacts give you power! They were taken, but there will be more, you can tarnish! Unlimited power! The artifacts must all be attached to the doll. The answers are here, you must look.

Brian continues his path through the house. A voice calls for Brian again. Reasonably freaked out, Brian moves forth with evidence. Pile of mostly plucked decapitated chickens, bull head, 2 skinned decapitated rabbit carcasses on the kitchen countertop - RING RING RING. It's Eugene, just wants to say love you. More meat hooks, dripping wax candles, bull lights, half-melted candles all along the outside rail on the roof...more candles in the same manner on the ground floor porch railing. Brian makes several more passes in the house before leaving.

He stores the materials in his motel, locks the container, then decides he's interested. He takes out the voodoo doll and attaches the feathers, deer pelt, and rabbit pelt to it. Brian's breathing is uneven as he stands, hands on hips, waiting. Did that do anything? He looks down at the storage container. Hm.

He crashes at PD then tries not to act suspicious as cop(?) asks what's going on with voodoo then Nettie says some untimely things right after...

Yea, time for a smoke. Brian finds a parking lot and paces with a cig. He then checks out the symbol. The antlers!! Shit, forgot to pick them up. Brian drives back but they're gone. Stabby. Someone's gonna die. Hell Awaits. Darkness.

**8th Call - Local**

* "BRO! What the actual fuck is people doin at Oniell Farm?! Cars pullin up from the city, bodies bein dragged in, loud music, strange shit man! Like, what?"

On arrival, Brian has his gun out. Blood smeared on front door. Head of a bull again in front of lights. Skinned deer carcass. Brian mutters shakily, "hello?" He heads upstairs. Another bull head. And another...this one looks real though... Brian says he might have left the artifact of the antlers last time. It speaks back and chides Brian for staring at it rather than checking out the rest of the house. More meat hooks. Decapitated chicken heads lay on top of the couch - facing west. Filled ashtray. Downstairs, Brian finds the corpse of an unknown animal, skinned, possibly bipedal. It lays next to the head of a cougar, antlers on top. Blood pools around the body parts exposed to the outside air. On a table nearby rests a headless cougar, also skinned. Blood everywhere. Brian grows more frantic searching for the deer antlers. Where is it, where is it!

He makes his way back to the latest bull head, the one that's almost lifelike. Identify the differences...energy...you must replace it! You must replace the artifact that you lost! Skeleton spines of various lengths hang on the wall. "There is now a hole...there must be a sacrifice!!" Brian must bring him a deer.

Brian races back to his car. Gotta find a deer! Brian searches the surrounding areas. Some does...finally! A deer! Brian transports it back to Grandma's on the roof of his car.

Suspense builds. Brian drags the deer off the roof and hauls it over his back; it's quite a sight. "Brian?" He spins around - Dan and 4 other people stare at him oddly. They ask a few questions. Brian tries to play it off like he was hunting. They seem very dubious. Brian does his best to get them to leave, and they eventually do on his stubbornness, albeit resistant.

Hauling the deer up the steps, Brian starts back into the house. He drops the deer onto the floor and paces a short bit. Then, the bull head reappears. He instructs Brian to cut off the antlers and Brian shakily does so. "And remember, the next time you need to stitch everything, you must remember, I am watching!" The bull's head carcass is taken off to reveal a white stitched face with an accompanying maniacal laugh. Brian takes the antlers and runs back out to his car.

He has to get rid of the antlers, and now. In a state of distress, he speeds down the road and suddenly his car flies into the air. Some nearby people see him and offer the anxiety-ridden and high-strung Brian a ride to Integrity. There, Brian unlocks his trunk, and adds the antlers to his set of artifacts. He looks down at the trunk. Turning around, he walks back outside.

He then tweets out for Dan to call him - he wants to warn him of the curse and to not go into that house. Dan says he showed someone a note - Brian tells him that's a different guy and storyline, he's just a serial killer that guy. That will certainly calm Dan's nerves. Now Chief Bobby's yelling at Brian to get off the fucking phone. Brian says they'll talk - it's only a serial killer, not a voodoo priest, which is apparently much worse.

Brian talks to Alex about Dan and the voodoo man. Link given for man who runs pet store.

**9th Call - Local**

* "HEYO! Do the people at Oneill Farm have a party permit or something? Groups of people all goring up and loud music, saw people dancing in the windows. First group had a red car and was all in red and the second was all in leather like some bad-asses I guess. They were draggin bodies in though, so its weird."

Obviously, Brian makes his way to Grandma's. While driving, he's bypassed by Kael Soze, who runs around the house. Brian says over the radio documentation needs to be taken very diligently and carefully and everyone must be cautious. Blood is smeared on the door. Another bull's head in front of lights. Brian thinks there's new notes? "Brian" - oh shit, Svenson and Ekaterina now show. They question Brian and then immediately breach, guns out, ignoring his suggestions to read the report. Speaking confidently, they wonder why there's music and wonder what the fuck's going on. Brian keeps saying it's all in the report. Similar shit found in house as before. Coyote head! They determine the house is clear of people and finally review the report just outside the house.

Svenson asks Brian's opinion of what is going on. He replies he wants to collect fresh photos of the evidence and they can talk on the report and happenings later. Svenson and Ekaterina are good with this and make their way back to their cruiser.

Brian goes back inside. Soze is there as well, looking around. Pile of chickens without heads and mostly plucked fills a corner of a room. Head of a deer. Basement: small pile of hair, possibly human. A cougar tooth! A humanoid corpse lays on the ground, skinned. The head of a cougar sits next to it, teeth missing. Antlers are arranged on top of the body. On a table a few feet away lays the decapitated carcass of the rest of the cougar. It's skinned.

Quickly heading back upstairs from the basement where Soze currently is, Brian walks by the wolf head. "There is something happening here, Mr. Brian". Brian shudders, "oh fuck!" In the bathroom, the half-melted candles have now migrated from just the sink to include also the toilet and bathtub. A citizen card is found on the floor with the name "Molly Minaj". Medical bag just alongside, along with a bullet casing. "Something's happening in this place, Mr. Brian...you must not overlook anything! Did you miss the other artifact like last time? Do you have the pelt of the cougar? And you have the tooth of the cougar? Good. If you have the skin of the cougar, and the tooth of the cougar, come by, put it on(?)." "You have missed the pelt, Brian?! Then you know what you must do. Bring the cougar, go make haste(?)!"

Off to get a cougar!

By his car outside, Brian spots a trail of blood. Back inside he goes. On a tattered piece of paper scrawls "JAMBO BWANA" by the marks of a feather quill. New: knives, machetes, and hatches lay scrambled together on a table in one of the old bedrooms. More half-melted candles, more usual findings. Back to the trail of blood outside. The trail leads to a bush - the imprint of a figure made of shadows lays in dirt underneath it. The same bush the voodoo doll was found on an earlier visit. Let's get a cougar! Cop car engine's revs on.

Just need the pelt, so BANG BANG BANG. Quickly, Brian stuffs the cat into his car and makes his way back to Grandma's. Another presentation, this time of a cat. The coyote head is happy, laughs, and tells Brian to skin the cougar. He then starts a chant. A fucking chant.

The skin pelt "is a necessary component to unlimited/eternity(?) power. Now you must listen Mr. Brian, everything in this house here you must look into - there is information here that can help you. But LISTEN CLOSELY: it is not unlimited power, there is limits to the power here. It is like a tank of gas; once the gas is empty, you must refill. To refill the tank, you must (?) But you are not there yet Mr. Brian, there is still one more artifact to find."

The wolf head was a mask, and is removed to reveal a face - looks like white paint. Black top hat. "And you will be finding it pretty soon, Mr. Brian. See you soon!! Bye bye!" He laughs and chants before disappearing into the void.

Gotta look around some more. The fridge has different cuts of meat from different animals - it's half full. Same for the other fridge. More meat hooks. Some more stuff we've seen before. Rabbit carcasses move to a table for a location. He picks up some of the hair that's possibly human, into a bag. There are warm charcoals in the fireplace. Brian finds the name "JAMBO BWANA" again.

Integrity. Unlocks chest. Adds to his artifact collection. Almost leaves, then thinks twice. Back to the chest. Maybe some of the items 'fit' or 'line up' together? Nope.

**10th Call - Local**

* "Hi...I'd like to report some suspicious activity at the Oniell Farm and Ranch. There was a few cars with lots of people and they were dragging bodies and the whole time all I could hear was something in my ear whispering "One More"...I'm spooked."

A lot of similarities to the last visits, bloody symbols, decapitated animals, you know, the usual. In the basement is human hair again, with a pile of body parts...one seems to be humanoid, yet it's hard to discern without the skin. Another is the head of a cougar with a missing tooth. Displayed on top is a pair of antlers. More blood.

A pig head on a table starts to speak: "You are almost at the end, Brian. One single artifact remains. But this one is the most difficult and hardest artifact to gather. (?) The final artifact, Mr. Brian, is not from the same environment as your own (?). It comes from the greatest being in the water. Bring shark here, Mr. Brian. You will harness the power from all the areas of the earth here, earth and the sea. (?) Complete as necessary. But remember, Mr. Brian, you must also know the words of power, you must find (?), you must also find the way that is necessary to dissemble it - it is a very specific orientation, you have to find how it works."

Brian wants to confirm, "I must find the shark, and - what, specifically?"

"GET THE SHARK. Hunt from the water, bring it here. No delay, no delay Mr. Brian!"

Brian, quite on edge, quickly hops back into his car and heads for the sea. He radios in for Copper to meet him. At a pier, Brian unhooks a rop to a police boat and waits for Copper, who joins him.

"I need a shark." Copper immediately starts to help him search for one and doesn't ask questions. A few minutes later they find a few circling the boat and let off some shots. Some attempts later and they have a dead shark on the beach. Copper and Brian manage to get the shark back to the farm, where Copper waits outside as Brian heads in.

Brian presents the shark to the pig head.

He's awarded with a laugh. Brian dumps the shark on the floor, exhausted from carrying it for a while. After instructions, Brian delicately cuts the shark. He now has a shark tooth.

"But listen carefully, Mr. Brian. Before you leave here today, you must have proper orientation. The answer is here. And you must find the words of power. They are also here. Now the words of power are words that you already know."

"OH! Unlimited power! I've seen this before! Would it be written on the walls?!" Brian wonders.

"Find the power, find the answer!"

Maybe it's the "JAMBO BWANA"? Apparently these are the first steps. It tells where to go. Brian checks out the bloody symbols. Directions, dial.

Faintly, in the background, the pig's head repeats, "listen to the power!"

"Oh, oh, I know!" He googles 'jambo bwana lyrics'. Hakuna matata. Let's try this one. The music rapidly increases in tempo and the pig laughs. "It's not the path...you must also find the orientation." There is a path starting from the house. So the destination might not even be here. What about the blood trail? Outside, Brian follows the drops of thick liquid. It leads him beyond the barn. Then, a small pool of blood. He continues to reference one of the symbols [Symbol B seen above here]. Then, a large pool of blood.

Within a stall, Brian notices a diagram drawn in blood on the wall with lettering in a cross shape. Reference photo at right. He compares to the previous bloody symbols.

His artifacts! The letters are all the first for his artifacts. The layout for the doll? The orientation?

He returns to the pig head. Brian's thinking seems to be correct. Words of power can unlock the key. "But, like I said, Mr. Brian, it is always with sacrifice, yes?" The pig head suddenly is removed to reveal the man from before. Top hat and weilds a knife. He laughs and moves quickly around Brian. "I cannot do it. You must do your own sacrifice, Mr. Brian! Sacrifice...bleeds...power"

Brian takes a pill and falls over. The invisible man chants over Brian's body for a short while then makes his way out of sight through the doorway. Seconds later a loud boom erupts through the house, shaking the floor boards.

"495?" Copper's voice is heard. Brian weakily yells out to Copper to come inside. She's curious what happened. Brian replies that he had to sacrifice himself and that he now may a way to unlimited power. She took photos of the floating head. Brian warns of a potential curse. Pillbox.

Back in Integrity, Brian assembles the layout with the orientation template. Need the words and the power now.

**11th Call - Local**

* "Hey ummm.....buncha people just left Oniell Farm after draggin some bodies in... They had guns out and I think they were shooting? Couldn't hear anything though."

Jambo Bwana music plays inside. Brian rounds a doorway to find...himself. His double turns around to reveal the face from before. He's wearing Brian's #fastlyfe outfit. Q&A apparently.

"So you have completed your journey. You have all of the artifacts, combined them in the proper orientation, and have said the words of power." He dances to Hakuna Matata. "And now you have a lead(?) on your power, into your body, and your juju(?) is now even stronger. The powerful words bring the juju into the light and makes you even more precise in your movements and thoughts ... It is not unlimited power - the power is limited by how much spirit is stored in the doll. It is like a tank of gas. Once you have expended all of the spirit, you must make another sacrifice to restore it. In order to keep it at full power, you must bleed your own blood on the doll." There are calls going to the PD about suspicious activity - this man wants to keep this practice under secrecy. Once this power is achieved, Brian will be eligible for other practices - but limited due to his profession. He cannot deny assistance to anyone who needs it. Grandma's is a strong, powerful juju, and cannot be relocated: he wishes to have no interruptions in his work.

Brian is given a tooth necklace. In spirit, the tooth is connected to the doll. Sacrifices charge the spirit, which cannot be created, only moved.

"But I see that there is a darkness in your soul, Mr. Brian... You are not afraid of other(?) things. What is the bad that you do?"

Brian fidgets and his voice fluctuates. He pauses before answering with another question - what's a bad thing?

"A bad thing is something you cannot say in a normal conversation. Hello. Good morning. How is the coffee? I killed a man today!"

Brian visibly reacts to that last one. Sometimes problems need fixed to ensure others' safety.

You can tell yourself that, but you cannot argue the things that have happened. "Everything has balance, that's what this is all about, Mr. Brian." The animals in the house were sacrificed to give life to other beings. This man considers himself the agent of balance.

Brian accepts this. "Then you know what you must do." Brian is instructed to sacrifice blood from his hand. He confirms he received the rock. They part, hakuna matata, and Brian walks out the door.

Drives back to Integrity. Opens chest of artifacts, cuts his wrist to spill blood onto the doll, and repeats, Hakuna Matata!

Some complications/fun with the cougar tooth necklace and Ramee. Judge Bailey prepares a 'fake' warrant for Brian and Baas to search Ramee's properties for the necklace and LMG ammo. Refer "'Fake' Warrant" Arc.

Conan introduces Brian to Babalu Okonkwo outside his pet store. After some talk, he gives them each a turtle; Brian names his Simba and Conan Mehdi. There is something of interest, however...this guy might very well be connected to all the voodoo stuff Brian's been doing lately. He listens carefully to what Babalu says, and takes a look at the store - Paleto Pets & Veterinary Services. Brian gives his # to Babalu.

Back in the Park Ranger's car, Brian questions Conan about Babalu - apparently the trust goes back like a year and Conan is down to keep Babalu's hunting license active. Clarkson helped get the pet store to Babalu's name. He says he can't really talk about the business in Grapeseed, you know, partner to partner shit. Conan now questions Brian about the questions.

Some time passes; Brian's son Dan needs protection, and Brian seeks out the voodoo man for help. Refer "Dan's 'Despair'" Arc.

Months pass.

Brian makes his way to Grandma's as this story becomes active once again. There, he searches for activity. Nothing strange...until the pet shop owner pulls up outside the house and strolls over carrying a bag. He says he's here to help with the animals. Brian asks if he's seen anything strange - he gives a laugh and says America is a strange country. Talk on balance, juju... he invites Brian inside for some food. He checks the fridge, there is a lot of meat, a lot of different kinds. Brian continues the small talk as Babalu cooks some meat on a stove. Unfortunately, he has no eating utensils so Brian must use his hands. It's a bunch of random meats and Brian uncomfortably takes a few bites. Babalu says he hunts and sells excess meat, yet things are different - death and killing has a purpose and is within a cycle where he is from, yet here the spirits are stuck and lost.

"If goodness is overcome...what's happening now is going to happen even worse where the deaths are going to increase to the point where it it will be almost like there is a war...and do not take me lightly when I say war...war ends when there is nobody left standing."

Brian excuses himself and with uncertainty decides to say "Hakuna Matata," just before he turns to walk away. "Do not forget the power, Mr. Brian," Babalu quietly says from the next room over. "What did you say?" Brian stutters back. "Have a good day!"

What the fuck. And oh shit, we don't have the tooth necklace anymore, are we no longer protected? The power? The balance?! Need to check Integrity. The voodoo doll is still there in the chest where Brian left it. He takes out the knife and cuts a small part of one of his wrists, letting the blood drip onto the doll. He lets out a sigh of relief. Brian tweets out to Ramee to call him.

Shots are heard and Brian pulls on scene to find Babalu, who claims he was hunting. Ripley and Pinzon show. The bed of Babalu's truck has 3 coyotes and 2 cougars.

#### **[ARC] - Winchester's Murder**

Investigation - Murder of Winchester

#### **[ARC] - Attempt on Saab**

Attempted Murder of Saab.

**Saab wakes in Pillbox Medical with fractured memory of his recent events. Brian checks out the situation and questions Sarah.**

Saab is in the hospital and doesn't remember anything. He's not in good shape.

Flippy, Curtis, Buddha, and Tony were looking for Saab earlier. 10 minutes later, Brian saw the 4 of them in an active scene and told them to leave. Saab was stabbed, covered in urine, and not in good shape... Bobby says they're probably trying to kill him because Saab probably wants to join the PD gang over the LB gang. Is Bobby drunk? Maybe high? Bobby leaves and Malton says Bobby doesn't like investigations. Anyway, what to do about Saab? Should we look into this or not? Investigation to start, priority to raise if it should be.

Malton says there were no forensics at the potential crime scene, FastLane. But some people could be interviewed, Red and Sarah. Onto it.

Brian and Malton arrive to FastLane.

Sarah is interviewed by Brian about Saab while Malton documents the cars on the lot. She doesn't know anything but will keep an eye out.

Brian doesn't believe her - he's spoken with her enough and thinks she knows something.

#### **[ARC] - CG v LB/(?)**

Something about skittles, I was skipping through...

**CG v LB/Skittles(?) (SS gangs CG, East Side Ballas, LB, Eugene[LB]...Brian documents from the air in a heli.**

Saab investigation ongoing. "Attempt on Saab". > Relation to be determined, marking this here.

Alert for gunshots from a vehicle. Ladybird black on black. Holy shit it's Tony. Out come the PD cameras from Brian and Malton. Tuong is nearby. LB vs CG shooting.

PD stays back w/o chasing due to the low number of units on duty. Instead, they observe and check out what's going on while they await backup. PD picks up the wounded: Flippy, Curtis, Tony, Buddha.

Later, shootout erupts again: LB/Skittles(?) vs. CG. Goes on for a while, Brian watches from the air.

Brain sees this situation unable to hold in court to successfully press charges yet PD as a whole chooses to give them some charges.

#### **[ARC] - Taco Shop**

Taco Shop / Marijuana / Rolled Money / A Little Bit Black Cards Investigations

**A taco shop opens, and soon activity becomes suspicious...is it a front? Brian and the PD investigate.**

Officer Brian and new Trooper Copper discuss the large amounts of activity regarding the taco shop. Who's actually running the place, and what exactly is being sold? It seems to look a front... How would we investigate this, if we cannot "skumbag search someone", which is really our only way of making investigative progress but also leads to dissent from those searched?

Some guy named Pablo Wealth, Vagos affiliation, runs the shop. Other shifts are run by Wayne Biggins and Siz Faulkner. There are some people who don't seem to be making the standard delivery rate...

Not many avenues to investigate, we need a concrete game plan with targeted traffic stops and pat downs. Some dude Doug Canada. Bands of notes involved? Street value.

Tyrone implied on reputation - the average is $400 per 10 for the band of notes. Would be nice to verify. Could be cleaning money.

Stonefinger tells Brian and Bas he's interested in investigating the taco shop some for an article.

Tyrone drops some info on the taco shop. Brian starts to talk to AJ about the taco shop. Dan drops some info on the taco shop. PD is still looking into the taco shop activity. Another Ballas drops info. Then Dan has more. Pred, Mack, Baas.

Brian picks up Edward to talk. To the tunnel, it's foggy. Once pretty far in, Brian sets Edward in position with a gun drawn in case someone comes in on the offense. Interview begins.

Edwards mentions Steele Security - he works for them and has been collecting information. According to Edward, Doug was depressed yesterday (he's out of ICU now) and didn't want to do anything. Doug said he was banned from the taco shop and surrounding area. This confuses Edward, as Doug has been an integral part of the shop the past few weeks. This came to light as Doug wanted to finish the dark web quest with Edward, the latter at one point suggesting to use the taco shop computer. And now today, Doug seemed to want to avoid Edward and seems very depressed. Edward says the White Widow is a failing business - too many homegrowers. Edward says money is an important part of Doug's life. A Lang Buddha tweet: Doug Canada "blocked". Some other tweets. Edward says the "blocked" refers to the taco shop.

Edward starts talking on the taco shop - there is a legal side and illegal side: both need to operate together for the shop to be successful. Earlier, someone paid 200k to take part in the illegal side. Money was paid to Buddha, who with LB and Vagos, took over taco shop day one. LB and Vagos regulated the business and choose who received the orders. They set rules and provided protection. Apparently this is also the current setup and ownership. The kitchen is the legal side. Edward worked there for a couple weeks - in the kitchen and in delivery. Possibility Edward's info is not up to date. Edward explains more on the kitchen job.

What's up with Pablo, asks Brian. He provided the perfect cover, as he already had food trucks. Normal deliveries door to door legal, right side of shop. Greyzone though.

Left side of shop is illegal stuff. Pick up counter. Fiona, Vagos JJ, Kanye, Doug, Pablo, Roule(?), Vagos member, or someone "keeping the list in order". The more people who worked the illegal side, the less money return. So only one or two would do that at a time. To start an illegal run, needed: 10k cash and 1k quarter oz weed. Wrap up in box of 250 oz. Then deliver to mostly Forum Dr and nearby apartments, some other places.

Bills and bands, asks Brian. If successful weed delivery, receive of up to 10 bands. About 45 min total of dropoffs: 3 min increments. Depending on count of people doing the runs, band count receive is dependent. Rolls are from robbing stores, bank trucks, and selling drugs on the street. Bands being washed through regular deliveries - certain locals tip for these bags. Tips increase if delivery person is well known. Reputation also dependent on if delivery person arrested. Starts at $200.

Doug worked both sides, legal and illegal. Eventually, he recently was arrested and lost his reputation with the locals - now he's banned (but if related to reputation, unknown). Bands just sold to Doug for couple hundred bucks. 10 bands worth 8k to Doug, or 1k per band at highest level. Longer one works, better it gets. But it takes weeks to build reputation. Doug possibly upset as he lost his reputation and also whoever his buyer is for his bands.

Back to the topic of SS: last night, when Edward was let go. Apparently, new procedures put into place by Jordan: fake vehicles for towing. Stolen from Integrity. Southside crash, QF women who the new stolen car was owned by, decided to steal Steele's car. Jordan pulls a gun, shots fired, Edward gets out of the initial stolen car, shots in the air to give an impression, and then Edward hides nearby then is put into cuffs by PD. Edward feels Steele and Copperpot may not trust him anymore.

Edward talks on Jordan, Copperpot, and Apples - they had a discussion on Dan being a mole within Garage Q and the taco shop - they think him being a mole is the reason he's now DOC and the group is looking for payback. Edward says this Garage Q group is crazy.

Edward asks if someone with his prior crim record would have a chance at joining the PD. Idk.

Brian asks if Edward knows anything about a fighting ring. Edward mentions the VU but he doesn't know much more than that, really.

Edward called Pablo 2 days ago, but has not seen him since. Edward considers Pablo to be only an acquaintance, however.

Brian needs to go back on duty, there's a shortage of cops - he comes up with a plan to exit the tunnel separately from Edward and informs Edward he wants to be even more convert conversing in the future.

Brian sees both judges happy on some sugar in Pillbox. Bailey spoke to Chang - he's down 100%.

The judges Bailey and LaBarre prepare along with Brian. Disturbance at the power grid alert, that takes precedence. Uh, is this related?

Ya, CG. Anyway, plan continues.

#### **[ARC] - Dead FIB Agent**

Brian, Archer, Baas on point for investigation.

**On arriving to the location of the "Hollywood" sign to meet with Stonefinger, Brian and Baas find a woman's body with a horrifically twisted neck and bruises on her neck and shoulders.**

On arriving to the location of the "Hollywood" sign to meet with Stonefinger, Brian and Baas find a woman's body with a horrifically twisted neck and bruises on her neck and shoulders. A single bloody boot print is seen nearby. Tread marks from the body direct west. On closer look, some crumpled documents are found next to the body - they're arrest reports. Evidence collecting. Brian starts to head west. More tread marks, some puddles of oil now. Archer joins, and he and Brian quickly investigate the fresh evidence - they amp their efforts when rain starts to pour down. Baas confirms the dead body used to be an FIB agent.

By this point, Brian and Archer check out the surrounding area for an abandoned vehicle or any other signs from their cruiser. Brian checks out the crumpled papers - they're arrest reports from the Liberty City Police Department. Arrestee information, fingerprint, name of arresting officer and supervisor, Carly Jackson. Jack DeBeers search warrant 2/25/19. Different arrestee and arresting officer for the other paper, but the same supervisor. This paper also has vehicle information. Sam DeBeers traffic stop 6/11/17. They check out the details. Very likely father and son.

Might be related to TALON?

Archer, Bo(?), and Brian check out the documents. Archer does his analysis. Good information to work with on them. For some reason, they were escalated to a federal level - somehow, this agent's activities became known and was taken out, looks like. Pillbox. The EMT says she was able to resitate the agent for a few seconds, long enough for her to day: "I tried to get you," "look atop the shining woods," and "but you wouldn't listen."

Archer thinks this second quote is easy: something on top the Vinewood sign. There, scrabble game pieces lay jumbled: orrpaubelt. Also an ID for Carly Jackson. They all plan to keep an eye out for these people. PD dispatch given the names as well. The coroner finds a plane ticket in the woman's pocket: destination LS from LC, arrived today. More scrabble: lkeieyloa. And another: kelelioay. Maybe names? Anyway, why so much redacted on those reports? Must be high priority. They make their way to Paleto. Twitter void of their names.

Baas says to MDT search on 3092: DNA-12357, submitted by Cody Sharp. Officers: Sharp, Snow, Williams. Report about an injured person on Milton Rd., who died soon after being found from his injuries. Names: Robert Paul, Thomas Watts, Ben Cole. These match the aliases!! Puddle of oil is similar as well. Archer wants to go after the car thread.

Archer: "What if the son killed the fucking dad? What if Sam is dead? Why would Robert Paul have IDs that are aliases of someone he betrayed? What if Robert Paul was Sam DeBeers?"

Suddenly, the PD radio interrupts their discussion. Store robbery with a black Banshee! New destination. Brian runs the plate on arrival, it's stolen and comes back to Anna Brown. Baas gets a gift from the robbers. 2 people questioned. Back on the road and looking at the scrabble pieces and other stuff.

#### **[ARC] - Dan's 'Despair'**

Brian meets a Dan Faily, who is his potential son. Refer to [CHAR] Dan Faily.

**Interested in following Brian's footsteps, Dan wants to join the PD department. He soon finds himself in a desperate situation as LS is a dangerous city.**

Interested in following Brian's footsteps, Dan wants to join the PD department. While waiting for applications to open, he acts as one of Brian's criminal investigators - this has led to some close calls as Dan tries to maintain secrecy on this endeavor. He even joins a goth gang, with a new name of "Despair", in order to have access to more information. However, as of late, Dan's activities have been putting him more and more into lines of fire; against Brian's recommendations, Dan refuses to lay low.

This Arc comes to a point when Dan is in a really desperate situation. Brian meets his son in a secluded area to discuss options.

"Look Dan, I wish I could tell you that, you know, there's something I could do about this or I could convince the PD to do something but that's just not gonna happen. We're living in a very dangerous world - these people are dangerous! And there's fuck all we can do about it! The PD's not gonna do shit, the DOJ's not gonna do shit. The only thing you can do is survive. And the best way to survive is to have one of these [Brian pulls out his AR]."

Brian suggests Dan go into hiding for 24 hours while he works on contacting someone who may be able to help as a temporary solution.

After they part, Brian thinks of his tooth necklace and heads to O'Niell Farm. He searches inside the house and the surrounding area. Voodoo guy not to be found - he'll check back later.

Dan calls to check in - no updates on either side, except for Baas, or the lack of Baas...

Brian meets with Dan in secret and they talk on where Baas is. Taco shop investigation momentum has slowed. Dan's looking forward to being on the same team as Brian, taking out skumbags. Brian says Dan could hide together, live in fear, or he could come out of hiding. Out of hiding it is, time to take them on!

Dan becomes DOC and some days pass.

CI Edward tells Brain that Garage Q group Jordan, Copperpot, and Apples had a discussion on Dan being a mole within Garage Q and the taco shop - they think him being a mole is the reason he's now DOC and the group is looking for payback. Edward says this Garage Q group is crazy. Uh oh.

#### **[ARC] - Vampire/Smileys/Chasity**

This Arc has been spaced into 4 parts, with an tangent extension into [ARC] - Chasity Dawes. **(Sorry this write is a mess!)**

**Several groups in the city...a Vampire, Smileys, Scarecrows, etc. Pretty convoluted - Brian puts the pieces together.**

'**Vampire' Attacks**

MDT Report #: 3234. "Vampire Attack 4/16"

Call from private number: "Hello Officer Knight. I left the police a present at the steps of Mission Row. Please make sure you get it before the storm ends."
Outside the front of the PD building, a Humane Labs bag lays on the ground - inside is a crowbar and an ID matching the blood on the crowbar. Name: Helga Forest.

Brian meets Helga at Pillbox, gets her perspective of the story, and gets Kat up to date. Asks for her statement. Tsunami, whoops, lost the yellow pages information (could've checked to see if any phone numbers matched). So some guy pretending to be a vampire.

Turns out she's in the city in the medical bay. Dude without shirt with Halloween mask on bicycle is a subject of interest.

Kat was able to get an identity for the phone number: Gemma Knight. Also another woman, Kylie Winters. Brian updates Kat and Fawkes. Current steps: we need more info. Plan: casually show up and start a conversation with the supposed 'vampire'. Brian and Kat talk to Kylie.

Later, Kylie admits she is/was the vampire killer and can't swim. Says she has a disease, from the Heim/Hym plague. Has not eaten normal food for 76 years. Forcer interrogates Kylie, who gives her story.

Brian, Mac, and Forcer discuss what to do with kylie. Parsons, GenPop, safety... Parsons the PD can get a list of occupants, plus potential for more future information. Thalia to be in contact with both Kylie and PD.

Apparently Brian was the only one to really question her before, and he did it pretty quickly too. Two judges along with Forcer join. Kylie explains her condition.

Brian and Forcer talk on Kylie's report and Smileys.

26 people targeted on record, per Kylie herself 29 people. 1 permaed. She said Taron Raid was her gun connect - after she spoke about this to some others, she became a target and, along with other reasons, turned herself in to the legal force.

Brian meets with Copper, Snow, and Rhodes. Brian says he caught the vampire killer and mentions Taran Reid's name and some others.

Kylie wants to talk with Brian - she's emotional.

Brian and Kylie speak in private in an area of Bolingbroke. Kylie starts from the top. About the time Pablo left the Vagos. Karl Jonny Black, aka KJ, wanted to use Kylie's group to kill somebody. Tobi Argent. Taran Reid. Two masked individuals: one is known as the "Tiger". Tobi doesn't know who the tiger is, but both Kylie and Taran do know. Kylie knows identity of tiger because they both tried to kill Sybil earlier. Tobi knows some shit because one of the people who tried to murder him pulled him out of some water. Tiger is smarter than Chasity.

Brian asks who is tiger? Kylie says she'll tell him, but only if she's dead or pretty near death. It's Jacklyn May, a Harmony mechanic.

Kylie's group related to Smileys and Artists, Tiger is possibly leader now.

Kylie says she's been hidden, but lately someone with a bone to pick got close. "There's a difference between getting an animal in a trap, and hunting an animal". Prey on the weak, etc.

She doesn't want to speak much on Taran. Her relationship with Tobi is complicated. Tiger can kill the people she loves.

She's had some interested individuals visit her in prison, as she's currently being held for the 9s - Tobi Argent and Tallie Savage. They are a threat to her, as they may think she is talking to the cops due to recent events. They know Forcer was the one who arrested her, so Forcer is now also in danger. Gemma Knight also visited, told her Smileys are stalking. Kylie wants Gemma's name out of Brian's notes, or at least dissociated with all these other notes.

Only two people have a list of all the Smileys members: Mr. Smiley and Chasity Dawes.

Kylie doesn't want to talk on the dark web: connections far above her, she says.

What's your motivation, Brian asks.

"There are monsters in the city, I am a prime example of how easily they can hide in plain sight. There is absolutely no way for the cops to know anything I tell them if I don't tell them the truth. A woman with nothing to lose has no reason to lie." She also says it feels like her time.

Kylie then says 56 is planning some kind of fireworks. She offers herself to help Brian with taking 56 down, as she says he "deserves to be killed". She talks more on her hatred for 56.

So she's got two people / groups: Tiger and 56. Tiger has a hand on her, as she (Tiger) can go after the people she loves. Then there is 56, who appears to not have any reason for what he does.

[Sorry for the rough recap - check out the vod for this conversation instead. Lot of different connections and people who are all relatively new to me right now...]

Kylie warns of a possible event at Bolingbroke - refer "Prison Break: Black Helicopter" Short.

Brian thanks Kylie for her 'fireworks' info, and they plan to talk later.

Torah, a Bolingbroke doctor, is interested in what's going on a bit.

Kylie has a message for LJ (Leland Jones) - just in case she dies. LJ needs to be told "The estate looks nice in the winter". Supposedly means she's dead.

Brian learns Kylie is now dead and reads the report on her death.

At Bolingbroke, Fawkes speaks on Kylie's death, which was the same time as a prison riot. However, it seems like all the prisoners involved in the riot were inside while Kylie was outside, and she was found laying on the ground outside after the riot, which existed only inside... Brian inspects the cell Kylie used to frequent. DOC Ren looks upset as she looks around at Kylie's old cell. As Fawkes and Brian question Ren a bit more, tears well in her eyes and she has to walk away. Ren was the last to see her alive apparently... Can talk to Lydia, head of DOC. Her stuff was searched thoroughly, Brian is informed.

Brian comes across LJ. He's acting a bit weird. Once they move to a relatively remote location, surrounded by other people, Brian chats about some stuff then asks Kylie Winters' relationship with LJ. He says acquaintance... He gives LJ his phone number and lets him know to call him sometime, he has something to give from Kylie.

LJ visits Brian, who gives the message from Kylie. He's met with a blank face; LJ says he has no idea what to do with that message.

**Smileys / Mr. Smiley / Scarecrow
QF**

Kylie calls with two names to give to Angel: Tessa Lamb and Regina Bunny. "The man whos in charge of the operation itself...At this point I am running for my life." Pyschopathic group ex-Parsons inmates. List to get to Angel. (Pshycopathic ex-Parsons Inmates short)

Brian meets with Kylie, who starts her story from the beginning: the murder of a close friend Jessie. Kylie had given info that led to the murder. Another death, sorta related. Smileys group: pyschopathic ex-Parson 'reformed' serial killers. Daphne. Transfers of info. Kylie has been trying to remember member names from the Smileys group and associates. Hence two names Lamb and Bunny. More names: August Vakarian, Kenneth Jesperson. Appears members of QF coming after Kylie now. Brian asks for everything written for a statement.

Brian, Snow, and Angel talk on Mr. Smiley / Scarecrow.

Brian, Snow, and Angel talk on Ceasar...Jesse Skid murder...investigation lead by Jenny.

Brian starts to interview Kylie. Nevermind, diversion.

Back to Kylie: Smileys. Hang on, let's start with just Sybil. She hates Sybil, has attempted to kill her in the past. Attacked one of her new reporters, Bryant Robins. Kylie admits she is/was the vampire killer and can't swim. Says she has a disease, from the Heim/Hym plague. Has not eaten normal food for 76 years.

Back to the Smileys/Scarecrow. Lead by Kenneth Jesperson, with members Tessa Lamb and Regina Bunny. Lots of affiliations.

Kylie found with a scorpion on her, and Brian gets a text from Sybil and party, which states Kylie is involved in Bailey's ordeal. Refer "EMT Bailey" Arc.

Kyle and Sybil talk on a "Stabbers Union". Something about the dark web, Jane, "Stabbers Union", list, Tobi, Tobi's tweets, people who have been targeted and hints at next targets... Smileys/Scarecrow...

Brian and Forcer talk on Kylie's report and Smileys.

Smileys, Vampires, Jaden Sparks death, Quick Fix, Tobi Argent, Dark Web, Talon, Illuminati, etc. all going on at same time...

QF. Sybil Shepherd. Tobi Argent connection.

Taran Raid, senior mechanic QF, works for Raja. Gives account of shooting near Pillbox: against Steele Security. Jaden Smith, Jacklyn May, Bobby. Jordan fired. Etc. Says he is civ but had a heavy pistol, which he considers as his defense.

Brian gets info on Sybil, QF, and Mask's daughter as Erin Cox from Bo Tucker. Bo also tells of a traumatizing incident from his past Brian didn't know about it. Mask kidnapped him and tortured him. 15 victims, DC dead: observatory. Mask was tic toc killer, says Tucker. But no one did anything about this info, Bo says. Apparently key people in that investigation went MIA. Brian says he wasn't a key investigator in that case. Brian makes a connection, that's why Mask was giving his spiel that one day that no one cared! Brian paces on the heli pad.

Brian tells Tucker he has his back. Bo says he appreciates it, and talks more on DC. This guy was a member of QF. Adrienne West. Matchet. Bovice. Arthur. [Mehdi knows of some of this on Nino, cannot get too involved here.] Bo explains his chess play.

Let's talk on Sybil, Brian says. Know of a Taran Reid? Involved in a kidnapping of Tobi Argent, along with Summer Mersion and Sybil. The three found then Tobi was dating Jaden Sparks, a member of the Smileys and at the time not a serial killer. Brian says Bo should hook up with Forcer and Angel to talk more. [Mehdi cannot get too involved here.]

Brian meets with Copper, Snow, and Rhodes. Brian says he passed along the Smileys case investigation to Forcer, Bo, and Angel.

A few days later, Brian speaks to Snow about the groups Smileys and the Artists - info given from Kylie.

Stonefinger says to Brian and Baas that he went to the pier at Baumbach/Chiermach(?) 30 to 40 minutes ago and shows some video footage. Brian recognizes the man in yellow as Mr. Smiley and tells Stonefinger to be very careful with the guy. The reporter says it looked like a meeting was taking place: 2 cars were parked nearby. Brian quickly exits the meeting and heads to the pier with Baas, updating him on details on the ride. Angel will be informed.

At the end of the pier, Brian finds a note.

Baas and Brian will resume their investigation after responding to a shots fired call.

Brian meets with Angel to speak on Mr. Smiley's sighting recently, Stonefinger's recollection and evidence, and other actions, further thoughts, etc.

Dr. Chapatin Corti reports to Brian that Rick Wyse was found dead the day prior, his beaten body picked up from the lighthouse. A Smiley paperbag mask was found stuffed in his mouth, and determination of death was by drowning. Corti to later provide a coroner's report from Choi later to the report to any officer when he gets it.

**Smileys Re-emergence (per Brian's view) / Tobi / Tiger / Etc.**

Tobi talks. Bo blacklisted? Tiger. Kitty. Serial killers, etc. Tobi worked with Bo. Tobi was shot and kidnapped by Taran Reid, Tiger, and an unknown. Knew Kylie Winters. Jayden Sparks. End goal: investigate QF: business for assassins. He has informants.

Brian and Forcer discuss the Highwaymen and the Smileys group: everyone's working together, yet purposes do not neatly align. Brian asks if the word "Tiger" means anything to Forcer - she says no. Discussion between the two on relations and purposes of Smileys and Highwaymen. Forcer to send stuff and work on report.

The note, Forcer says, came from a visit to the lighthouse involving a phone call and Flop. She says the note has a cipher, and it's an alphabet scramble.

Brian says the Smileys are a group of assassins - bounties are placed as orders. Perhaps the Highwaymen are using these services.

So about this note. Forcer's still working on decoding it; she shares it with Brian.

Brian solves the cipher and decodes the note. Then he decrypts the other note.

Flop! Lauren says Flop is being targeted.

**Info Dump**

Some weeks pass, then Brian is requested by Choi and Stonefinger to meet. [Refer The Illuminati Arc] Talon is briefly discussed by Brian, The Narrator/Dwayne, Choi, and Stonefinger:

Dwayne mentions some investigative notes on the Smileys he's determined along with Stonefinger: they're mostly not violent, they're scared. Judge Stanton. Tessa. Etc. They're all accepted Kenneth Jesperson's pin to protect them from others. Wait a second, Stanton is a Smiley? Yes, replies Dwayne. Who else?! 38 people in total, roughly. Only 5 are violent. Members mostly just want protection. After they subscribe, they start to receive calls...from Scarecrows - Mr. Smiley's inner circle members. They're given missions to gather information on other people.

Were you at a meeting on a pier with Mr. Smiley about a month ago? No, but Flop may have; he was investigating them then as the group were harassing his friend Sydney. At this, Dwayne's voice grows even more raspy and he covers his throat, taking a drink of water. The Smileys were attempting to get her to join. Dangerous Smileys listed by Dwayne: Kenneth Jesperson, Petunia, Gemma Knight, and August. Choi chimes in that August is a "fucking psycho." Also, Tobi, who is one of the Scarecrows.

QF connection? Well, sorta. QF is interested in Tobi due to his former relationship with Jordan Sparks, a man who had information on QF and who passed along this information to Tobi. QF is a secret assassin order. Adriane West once sought to hire The Narrator, for the Chaos package. Then, she wanted to back out: Boudini, QF and HOA dude, was there at the time. Him and Adriane took Dwayne out to the sea on a boat, held at gunpoint. They spoke and asked multiple questions. At one point, Dwayne saw a chance to jump into the water and took it. Dwayne was hunted for a while thereafter, and QF seemed to have an interest in him. The hunt suddenly stopped, yet they seemed quite an assassins group.

What do you know about Kylie Winters? Dwayne says he was informed Gemma Knight took over after the vampire. Chasity Dawes doesn't seem to be in contact recently - one of her last tweets seemed to allure to the Smileys group. What else do you know about QF? Barely anything, answers Dwayne, they're next on my investigation list. Choi is visibly agitated per talking on QF. Summer Mersion seems invovled...as well as a few others.

Back to the Smileys. Flop was looking into them, was hit over the head one day, an indication it was Mr. Smiley, then calls of harassment from Mr. Smiley. Flop approached Dwayne for help: Dwayne accepted and started up his investigation.

Dwayne is also looking into Tiger. What Dwayne knows, is that everyone he has talked to has been too scared to speak on the name. Jacklyn May name is confirmed between Brian and Dwayne for Tiger's identity. What is her relationship? Is QF going after the Smileys and Scarecrows? Are Tiger's assassins separate? Kenneth Jesperson is Mr. Smiley. Dwayne talks a bit on Mr. Smiley. Gemma Knight seems to be the brains of it all, and Jacklyn works in tandem, says Dwayne. Chasity won't meet with either Dwayne or Stonefinger. Somehow all tied together, and chasing each other, "like a snake eating its own tail."

A few days later, Brian tells Snow about this group who identifies as Illuminati. Snow trusts Brian's judgement and says to reach out if anything. Brian gives one thread now though: Stanton is a Smiley - a group which is not all serial killers in actuality. Brian talks more on Smileys/Scarecrows/Mr. Smiley. Snow says to keep him informed should Brian see fit with this, and that's he's available should Brian need.

* 168 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/664267290?t=1h46m22s Brian tells Snow about this group who identifies as Illuminati

**Everything Else After**

Boe approaches Brian: he had been kidnapped near the taco shop. One kidnapper was wearing a smiley mask: the group told Boe this was happening because of Forcer and that Boe was the "King of Penticles". Related to tarot cards? Brian has Boe hide behind the PD desk and calls August to come in for a few questions. She's uncomfortable coming to PD so calls back - suspicious. Brian sets up a new location meet and has Boe change clothes and sit in the backseat of his cruiser. A new plan needs to be made as there's a bank truck alert: now Boe is to dress as a cadet in disguise.

After Brian responds to the bank truck, he speaks with Lauren on what happened with Boe being kidnapped and the message meant for her. Brian will set up the talk with August and Boe later.

Few days pass. Brian arrives to the entrance to the Mirror Park Tunnel after responding to a call. 2 PD cars sit empty; a note has multiple smileys and then "move forward to your destination". Then slightly further into the tunnel, Brian sees a litany of smiley faces drawn on the wall in yellow and red marker. Again, a few more yards in and the same is seen on the opposing wall. Okay there's more: they're throughout the tunnel and all over the walls. In the center of the tunnel is a piece of paper with smileys and "The Wolf Howls". Then, another, with "The Tiger Growls". Then "The Vampires DO NOT sparkle". "The Big Game Hunter finds his prey." "The SINS are DEADLY".

Upon meeting in the tunnel, Brian updates Angel about the Smileys and Scarecrows. Snow runs by and says there are a total of 22 notes - they're talking to Forcer, but he wants to review more on the notes before discussing more.

Copper and Toretti join and they drive to another place in the tunnel. Toretti shares one of the notes with Brian for now; it reads, "Does the Knight always look the other way when a Pawn is taken? Can Brian be trusted?" Toretti says this is something about Flop and the Illuminati. Another note: "Dugong is ILLUMINATED. He is NOTE your FRIEND." Toretti and Angel debate if this is a Garage Q/T thing.

Angel now is on the phone with Flop; Copper runs to listen in. Snow questions Brian's note - yes, pawns are skipped over, but for the purpose of the bigger piece. This can appear as corruption from an outside viewpoint.

The question is the motive here... the Smileys are vengeful, etc. - they may be giving these notes as a way to direct the PD into certain actions. Members of the larger group are mentioned in the notes.

Some more notes - a pin is attached to one. It seems Forcer was invited into their fray, and she's instructed to tweet a ":(" if she accepts. Three names are indicated frowners: Mr. Rogers, Cody (Highwayman), and Raid.

Brian presents the idea that the Highwayman was not taken down by the Smileys, but rather possibly the Lost MC. Reasons: last words spoken by Cody to Brian, and who gave the head to Snow (the Lost). Who are frowners? In or out of the Smiley group? Wait, how did we find this tunnel? Wouldn't the Smileys, if they wanted to invite Forcer, only want Forcer herself to find the notes? How did Toretti find the notes? What is the goal here, do they want the PD to question Forcer? Is she too close?

Later in the day, someone calls to say he was stabbed, but may have now possessed August with a demon - he's now worried.

Brian questions August about the demon - "idk". Then she blatantly asks if Brian wants to be a Smiley, as she has 7 more badges available. Sure... Brian sings a song on smiling for initiation. When he's finished, she hands over a yellow smiley pin. She will make sure Brian is on the "list" for meetings and such... They talk on how Villin is her fiancé. Blue haired dude shows and explains to August the demon. Evee called over by August. Demon transferred.

Brian reveals he is a smiley to some PD members.

Some days later, 685 calls in on radio: a private number masked voice called in, 30 min before 2 people die. Imitation of voice is not the cassette killer. Pictures, one of a CRT monitor and CCTV monitors.

"15 minutes until they're cleansed." a deep voice says as some members of PD investigate the chicken factory. Uh oh. "One can say they(? can't hear) will become terminally ill. You're next, Hunter." Humane Labs? And what, AJ?! Maybe airport terminal? Paleto hospital not operational. Chilliad for one of the photos? Grandma's? Grandpa's? Next clue: "If you follow the right path, you will find the Wright sculpture(?)." Brian and AJ continue to Grandpa's as the rest of the PD on the case try other locations.

Airfield location confirmed! By the time Brian and AJ make it there, the two victims are answering Baas' questions. They mention "Smileys". Minutes later, Baas says he's reviewing a folder on the "Smileys".

*Much, but not all, of the below pertains to Brian's tangent storyline with Chasity Dawes - this content also available in "Chasity Dawes" Arc and eventually discontinued here.*

Chasity. Brian, Baas, and AJ speak on Tobi Argent and Chasity Dawes. Chasity requests to talk with Brian later.

Baas explains how the PD picked up Chasity earlier - she's associated with a face mask of a Smiley, the same as described by the hostages in the earlier situation at the airfield. Timing is too perfect, Baas thinks.

On the hunt for Jasper / the viking guy Brian spots plates that return to Chasity. Brian can see a smiley mask through the back window. Sirens - the person in the back shoves their hat and mask under the seat quickly. Chasity was driving and Brian pulls her aside - what do you know about someone named Jasper? The other guy in the car is Tobi. She says she did drop the note off, but a man on a motorcycle made her do it - all black outfit. She doesn't have Jasper's number. She reads the whole note. Across the street is a motorcycle, nah, it's been there this whole time. Back and forth on the number. She says the guy on the phone sounded like a Scarecrow. Brian keeps saying she's lying. New note found, Brian learns listening to the radio. Leads to the lighthouse.

Chasity calls. She claims again she knows nothing of Jasper. What about the Smileys, why were you hanging out with Tobi who wore a Smiley mask? She declines. She wants to know why some people are up in Parsons.

On arrival, a woman wears a tiger mask, interesting. It's Chasity, interesting again. Another guy is nearby wearing full black and a black helmet - he says his name is "Michael" while Brian thinks this might be Tobi. He takes his helmet off: black glasses and an eyepatch and Brian cannot definitively tell if it is Tobi. Brian asks if they've spoken before. At the Vinewood Bowl prior.

Woman in blue hair stabs two people in a video. Brian and Vale review. Sounds like Chasity. Who's the cameraman?

Brian tells Forcer he's friends with Chasity - although not all given info is true, she does still give info, some useful if read correctly. Chasity may be working against the Smileys now. There was a disconnect a while ago and the group(s) broke apart. Forcer says Kenneth was the Scarecrow, Chasity was the tarot cards, and someone else, and they had all worked together. A decent sized subset of LS are supposedly Smileys. Forcer and Brian talk some more on the Smileys and related people.

Chasity calls - she says Joshua kidnapped and shot Tobi Argent: then murder kitty took them both out. Within the last 24 hours. Tobi has DID. Apparently she wants some focus on them because "nobody else seems to give a fuck" and that she is after the Smileys because "Mr. Smiley tried to put a hit on me and I don't like that he lies to me; I don't like liars". When does it end, your feud with the Smileys? "Oh, it's done right now; Smileys in Parsons and... his group is falling to pieces as he sits there and rots, and it's hilarious. Joshua Wade I stole away from Smiley a long ass time ago - Joshua Wade would do anything I told him, up to and probably including harming Smiley...but, this is a third personality that I don't know that doesn't like me very much and apparently doesn't like Tobi very much either."

"Women are attracted to men who ignore them," Brian provides some useful clarifying input. Chasity disagrees. But maybe he is pretending. Chasity says she can tell when it's Flug/Fug, one of the personalities of Joshua. According to Chasity, if Tobi dies, and Joshua walks free, "that's not going to be pretty for anyone involved because Tobi has a lot of friends." Well not pretty for Joshua Wade, specifically. Which would leave Chasity by herself.

Brian speaks to Forcer about Chasity and the situation.

Joshua Wade tweets "hi" so Chasity calls. He's out of ICU apparently and the PD wasn't able to keep him on hold. She's been trying ever since he went in, 18 hours ago, to keep him contained so she's a little frustrated Clarence or other members of the PD didn't restrict him from freely walking out of Pillbox.

[Crossover with Dark Web and Illuminati.]

Brian and Forcer go undercover and meet with David. He says he recently was legal representation for Joshua Wade - earlier that day Wade was still in the hospital. David had figured Joshua and Chasity were good friends, yet it seems Chasity was the one that led to his ICU. He knows "quite a bit" on Wade. David also met someone else, Tobi Argent. He takes a few steps back due to concern that Forcer will punch him, as she apparently did the last time he spoke on Tobi. Joshua seems to think something has happened to Tobi - yet, he refuses to give further information to David.

"Is that why you're really here?" Brian questions. "No, it isn't," is the reply from David, "I can give you..." he visibly appears more comfortable as Forcer excuses herself back to their vehicles so David and Brian could talk together.

"Take it the dark web is starting to bloom again?" "Mm, it is." "Why?" "We normally operate in the background and it has recently come to my attention that there is something else trying to be us(?). Have you heard of the Board?" "The Board? The Illuminati?" Unknown if connected, but David learned through Tobi there is some form of a "Board". So David called out this Board on Twitter, which led to a PN call. Tobi himself spoke initially of the Board, and all that he has shared with David is that someone with the last name of "Prince" runs it. So perhaps this is why the Watchers have returned from the shadows? "We've recently accepted 2 new participants - apparently one is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet." Brian confirms the Watchers are a part of the DW but not representative of its entirety, yet David gives a slight clarification: "One cannot operate without the other".

"Where does Thomas fit into all of this? He claims to be heavily involved, yet I've seen no sign of this." David says Thomas may be all talk. Brian does not have much information to give regarding this Board reference - it's very similar to another group but not DW. David remarks his Twitter post to learn about the Board was not an intelligent move as it gave away his identity a bit in a sense.

The reason he is here is because of Chasity Dawes - he has what he believes is the "nail in the coffin". It's a sensitive topic for Lauren, this talk on Chasity.

Brian mentions the Reverend and learns that David has some "unresolved issues" with the man. Brian gives intel that the Reverend stabbed a government employee that morning - he really doesn't like being watched. The funny thing about religion, it's sometimes simply a means to an end... An Adam Prince tweets and David wonders if this is the Prince he seeks. It's possible. Brian calls Forcer back so she can learn what David has concerning Chasity.

Forcer and Brian sidebar while David answers a PN call. The "Board" may pull from the the Illuminati group; Forcer confirms this idea on the right track with what she found earlier on the member list for Illuminati. There were crates to/from Rome, Forcer says.

David returns, his phone call concluded. The identity of the camera man was confirmed to David by two different reliable sources: the name wouldn't hold up in court but there is evidence of which he sends to Forcer.

Per the Illuminati, Forcer gives an inscription to Brian - it's in Latin. It was found on one of the doors she looked at along with an eagle. Quick Gurgle, "Give the government shut eye". Taking the automatic translation into account, the actual translation could be some similar version, like "Close the eyes of the government". Forcer lists out a few places bodies keep being found.

It's interesting, the exact relationship of the watchers and those who run the dark web. The watchers are a pathway to dark web access, but it still isn't exactly evident the organization. Upon mention of the Reverend, David expressed there was a disconnect there. Might be a small disagreement, but interesting nevertheless... Brian figures the watchers of the DW and the Illuminati/Board are maybe at odds. Thomas is a link, a focal person for the Illuminati who also describes himself as heavily involved in the DW. It could be that Thomas in all actuality did not have that deep-seated association he so claimed.

The DW offers drugs, weapons, hit lists, contracts, etc. Unfortunately, the PD lost the VPNs needed to access the DW months ago. Forcer explains why she didn't accept the VPNs from Jacob during Brian's birthday party months ago. Brian senses there's more to Jacob than him just running Digital Den...

A vehicle pulls up alongside Brian and Forcer then quickly drives away. David calls Brian - "I need your help with something. It has come to my attention that someone in the city is hoarding VPNs and I would like them back." This someone is vulturing them off watchers and David wants them back. It's the ESB. Really. Brian requests photographs of the ESB moving in and out of ESB properties with illegal weapons so the PD can initiate a raid and allow Brian to extract the VPNs. The fuck are the ESB/Tyrone collecting VPNs? Eugene and Buddha each carry a VPN; there was a LB/ESB war very recently.

Brian receives a private number call – after answering, he is asked if he is looking into the "individual who wears that bright yellow mask". Brian says he can forward the information within the PD to the caller, who identifies as "Hell" and who would rather Brian prove he knows enough information on the Smileys before he gives whatever intel he has. Brian learns Hell believes there is a count of 51 smileys. Brian gives the names of Forcer and Angel to Hell as they lead this investigation.

David and Brian meet. "Mr. Jesperson," David begins, "was recently released from Parsons. One of his friends, Joshua Wade...this has to stay between you and I...he wants to come clean". Wade has a new lawyer, Tidas. David claims Chastity is a good friend. Wade was the cameraman for several of Chastity's murders/artworks. Now, Wade is willing to accept a plea deal as there is a target on his back. Tidas had reached out to David, who redirected him to Brian. There's a sound of a passing vehicle; Brian checks the area before returning inside. David warned Tidas of the situation, and the new lawyer is "very worried" because of the associations with Mr. Smiley and Chastity.

"Also, someone else is missing - Tobi Argent." Isn't he in the hospital though, asks Brian. Wade's mask gives him safety with his DID, but his mask is currently misplaced... David continues on to say the murderer of Tobi called him earlier. Brian tells of the 3 personalities he knows of Tobi and some other information given to him by Chastity. David does not give the name of the person claiming to be the murderer, yet does say the name is not Wade. Quick break to confirm schedules with the PD. Explain the call, requests Brian, what was the purpose of the call? The relationship: someone in the background seemed to think the caller shouldn't be saying what he/she did over the phone and to David. Once we know the name we should then understand. Okay, what would it take to get the name? Wait, shh, do you hear that knocking? They decide it must be the creaky old motel. There's the sound of a car though... Brian scopes.

They strike some form of agreement: David wants the VPNs in exchange for giving the murderer name of Tobi to Brian.

Brian spots a man stumbling on his feet and pulls off the road to see if he requires assistance - turns out it's Tidus, who David mentioned earlier. Brian offers to drive him to a hospital as he seems quite drunk.

Calls up Claire to request she meet with him. Meanwhile, Tidus falls onto his knees throwing up everywhere in the background. Call with Claire isn't going well. Next try, Gio. This call works and Brian takes Tidus to meet Gio. Picks up a few woman at Q and Brian drives everyone to where Claire and Flippy are at the country club, she decided she wanted in the fun after all.

Brian updates Snow on the whole DW ESB VPN situation, David, Chastity, Wade, Tobi... Snow gives some information he has on the DW. Caesar = David; the Brotherhood = the Reverend, Dragon = Chang. Brian tells that Choi knows about the cassettes, and also updates Snow on the situation with Jasper, the DW, and Illuminati. Brian brings up the dangerous curiosity of others not involved in investigations.

Speaks with Lauren. Jesperson, Wade, lawyer, David, Tidus, CI, Chastity, plea deal for Wade, Tobi's third troublesome personality...name of murderer of Argent, tarot card in Sandy Shores, Chastity, ICU multiple times, Larry, Chastity is main subject for murder..."this whole thing is fucked," says Forcer. Our CI (David) may bring up a different name for the murderer, however.

Lauren points to MDT report #4353. Chastity also may have a copycat killer now b/c there was a body found with a tarot card or something...great.

Hey, it's Tidus in MRPD. Brian and him will speak later.

Brian meets with Stonefinger, who says he's been in contact with Chastity, who has given him information. Also a mention of Forcer. Stonefinger feels Chastity trusts him. And Mr. Smiley... so he has a few info lines, and is willing to share some with Brian. He has to be careful to not burn bridges though.

Brian meets with Chastity; topic moves to Tobi - he hasn't been seen in a week, Chastity says. Relationship with you and Joshua? He's unpredictable and uncontrollable now, replies Chastity, and she gives a more in-depth description of his personalities. She reiterates she doesn't know where Tobi is now, who she claims is her son.

"Why do you talk to me, Brian?" "Same reasons I talk to every other fucked up person; I find it interesting." "Do you believe in redemption? Do you think monsters can be redeemed?" She speaks on lack of opportunity for her own redemption arc. Seems like she wants to mass control most if not all the vigilantes in the city - if it can be "done skillfully". What's her idea on 'redemption' here, exactly? Strangely familiar to a previous intention held by the Smileys perhaps...

Alexandra Moroz calls about a mysterious present left at her house by her stalker. Vale and other PD members haven't been responding to her 911s. Brian says all officers are busy and recommends going to MRPD.

Brian updates Snow and Copper the latest on Jasper and Chastity.

Brian has a meet with David, and the conversation steers itself eventually to Chastity. Brian is given a name of a person he promises do what he can in his power to protect and ensure he lives - after seeing the name, Brian wonders about Chastity. Moroz and Chastity are working together, says David - Moroz has power over Chastity. Since Moroz came around, Chastity has been different, manipulated...

David requests Brian to look up Viper Rodriguez in the MDT - the latest charge was this morning for a 51-50 and Viper is now in Parsons. David represented as Viper's lawyer, and let's just say didn't put much effort in removing the psych hold, later visiting his former client at Parsons to give the line, "You mess with us, this is what happens".

Back to talking on Chastity. She was happy and living life with Tobi; her son being her will to live. Then, Moroz entered the scene and Tobi is now missing...highly suspicious, considers David. David wants to distance Chastity from Moroz; Brian says he'll see what he can do.

So Brian has a choice in front of him: David or Chastity.

Brian views a video given by David - it's a stabbing of a person by Chastity with Mr. Smiley, someone in all black, and a cameraman all in attendance. Brian checks out a few other videos in the folder: illegal activity like more stabbings, sandings - with multiple instances of name dropping, etc. Shit. A good amount of footage here...

Brian is told Chastity just attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff. Dr. Thatch was in session with Chastity and Moroz at the time. Only past occurrences were discussed. Brian pushes for a mental hold and is quick to offer his official sign off for a 51-50 for Chastity.

Call from Moroz - "I need you in the back ward of the hospital at your earliest convenience...I'm looking at Chastity Dawes who would like to speak with you." Seconds later, new call, "Actually, nevermind." Um.

Brian checks Pillbox with Dr. Thatch for Chastity. Seems she was already moved to the ICU so cannot talk now unfortunately.

Chastity claims she slipped on the mountain and didn't jump. Clarkson is Wade's son? Anyway. Alex Moroz, she says, is crazy and thinks people are trying to kill Chastity. Why are you still hanging out with her, Brian asks. Chastity seems to have been forced into a girlfriend relationship with Moroz. Back to the cliff - she apparently wanted to send herself to the ICU for a few days and planned her fall. She had sent a text to Brian to not think too deeply into the situation as she learned through Thatch Brian may be seeking to admit her into Parsons. She again remarks she's not lying. As they part, Brian yells out, "later babe!" within earshot of Moroz. Chastity limps over and hugs Brian, returning the same phrase.

Copleone later says he discovered Moroz as "very fishy, doesn't trust anyone" when he was investigating the taco shop.

The next day, Chastity says Tobi is still missing. She gives her story again about when Tobi and Wade were both admitted to the ICU. Tobi checked himself out of the ICU without contacting Chastity, and she now says she believes Wade's personality Tog(?) may have killed Tobi. She almost mentions something else yet decides not to, instead hanging up the phone.

Baas overhears Brian talking to Chastity on the phone, and gives some of his own information after the call - Tobi's laying low with a disguise and avoiding Chastity.

Lawyer Tidus wants to speak with Brian. Out comes the notebook; one client of his is willing to cooperate with the PD in exchange for a reduced sentence. The unnamed client has been involved in situations which required him to film illegal activity. Forcer is aware of this client's identity. The DA office needs to be brought into the conversation, they agree.

Tidus now states he fears for his life - he believes he has found himself associated with quite dangerous people. He also requests witness protection for his client. David Watcher wanted Tidus to reach out to Brian... Tidus now hints at the dark web, which Brian doesn't acknowledge as recognizing. The lawyer paces back and forth nervously as he admits to participating in the DW scavenger hunt. "They seem to know everything, and I'm afraid of what kinda influence they could have on me. And I worry about the connections between that, and the client I told you about...because my client has told me one thing that is very concerning to me, which is that as much as I've given you all that information that he wants me to do, he has told me that he may chose not to. And from some questions that I have asked him, that's going to be decided not by him, but by someone else. And I worry that the person making that decision...I kind of want to bring that to police attention." He further says David holds the power if the client cooperates or not - and Tidus sees this as a problem. He's worried if he places a foot wrong, he and his family, along with his family's reputation, would be in danger from certain groups. He fears manipulation per information that could be leaked from his past and then promptly proceeds to tell Brian the dirt anyway. They thank each other for the conversation and part.

Woman using walking assistance in Pillbox "because of Chastity". She also mentions Petunia, who she says told her about the relationship of Chasity with Moroz. An EMT tells Brian she has information on the Smileys - Brian redirects her to Forcer. Brian reviews a MDT report regarding Jonathen Sheperd: 'Josh', snuff films, 3 men in black motorcycle gear assaulted him, one of whom put on a Smiley mask.

Brian finds a tablet wrapped in paper; it's offline. Written on the paper is the name Kenneth Jesperson, identified as Mr. Smiley. Crimes are listed and his consequences are indicated to be on the tablet. Turning it on, a YouTube video is loaded.

Vale shares a MDT report.

Brian and Baas talk - Chasity is now working with Jasper, along with Wade. We need to push to close some of this shit and bring in at least one of them soon.

The next day, Brian speaks with Forcer in the FIB building. He references the new VHS "Betty" tape and how Chasity and Jasper are now working together. Several investigations have now met - we need to bring at least one to a close. Forcer states she hasn't had much luck thus far with the DA concerning Chasity. Talk on Jasper. Talk on evidence. Jasper is using Chasity, she tried to end her life, something happened with her and Tobi... Back to discussion on the problem with DA Larry. Maybe it's a matter of priority? Forcer speaks on what she has per her investigation on Chasity. She returns to talking on David and his presence as Chasity's lawyer; she's hung up on this now. David tortured Skid, she says??

Report in MDT on Snuff Film Productions videos. Dude named Kyle says a guy in a suit gave him a link via text to a video of someone being burnt in the Yellow Jack. It's the "Betty" video.

Brian checks his text messages - threats to share snuff films. One of the texts is from Choi.

Chasity calls. Nah, we're busy, we're dealing with another serial killer at the moment, wait your turn.

Chasity calls; she didn't expect Brian to be awake. Brian talks about the potential riot about to erupt over who's the mayor and it's silent on Chasity's end of the line. Chasity? Oh, technical difficulties. They plan to meet. What for, again? Maybe Jasper? Chasity claims she can bring him in. What does she gain in this deal, Brian wonders. And is she working with the Consequences group as well? What are her connections?

Chasity calls: she says Curtis Swoleroid kidnapped, stabbed, and cut a finger of David. She says she tried to alert the PD when David was missing yet they didn't acknowledge it. Brian finds the report in the MDT she's referencing: ID #4552. Seems Ripley is handling this, says Brian. She starts to almost cry - there's a lot of people after her and Curtis threatened her life. Brian radios to Ripley to find out the report had been forwarded to Forcer.

Brian forwards details of Smileys activity to Forcer's investigation packet.

Brian tells Baas that Chasity claims to want to give up Jasper - but how far can we trust her... And who are these Consequences people exactly? So many killers and groups intermingle now...

*Please refer to "Chasity Dawes" Arc for continuation of Brian's tangent storyline with Chasity.*

Forcer and Divine. Jasper also called Divine: he still wants an interview and is willing to kidnap him and Raven for one. Forcer says Jasper works with the Smileys. Well yea, he works with all the serial killers. Brian explains the serial killer union, Chasity, etc. Forcer says the Illuminati group has a spun out group known as Imperium: the consequences group. So many people it's a shitshow now. Forcer sighs, she's thinking of giving up investigating. Brian verbally agrees, pulling out his AR. Conversation now about gunning down criminals. Talk on Chasity's death, who was a main focus of one of Forcer's investigations for many months. Talk also on Tobi, who turned himself in to admit to 30 attacks, yet was placed on investigative hold as the DA/ADA has not been yet available. Talk on DOJ. More talk on civs, crims, PD...

#### **[ARC] - Dark Web**

**In hopes of finding clues to find Baas (refer "Talon's Terrorism" Arc), Brian investigates the dark web. Brian continues to keep an eye on dark web activity thereafter, finding its information and the people involved useful.**

While talking with Stonefinger during one meeting, Brian learns some information on Los Santos' dark web and how to access it - Stonefinger explains he was followed a while back, and found notes that always said, "We're watching". Phone call.

In hopes of finding clues to find Baas (refer "Talon's Terrorism" Arc), Brian investigates the darkweb. Talon has Baas, or at least information on Baas. A lead that Brian can drive regarding Talon is the darkweb (indications on the darkweb of Talon). Thus, investigation of darkweb. Purpose: Baas.

"READY". Question One: "What motel/Hotel in sandy would I go too if I wanted to use a gun range"

On patrolling and investigating Sandy solo, Brian meets a loner on a motorbike - the guy is weird, doesn't initially respond to Brian, and calls himself David Watcher. He says he is watching. Interesting. Brian responds to questions that he is in Sandy for choppers. Brian notes the guy's plate: sure enough, returns to David Watcher. Later, Brian sets up watchers for the Watcher; he finds some people illegally chopping cars nearby and lets them walk free from their cars with a promise to let Brian know more about any weird dudes on motorbikes in the area fitting Watcher's description. Then another guy [Reggie], with another illegal car. Brian thinks a bit then drives into that little tunnel. "HARMONY" entered on the computer in the police car is incorrect. Damn. Up to the top of a hill to look out for the motorbike guy. Back on patrol, with the appearance again of catching illegal chopping.

Is/was David watching over the motel to see who's on the quest? Are there watchers on the locations? Is accessing the darkweb giving individuals a GEO location? Is accessing the darkweb and seeing how far in the questions an individual goes before exiting giving a clue on location?

Crash nearby. While tending to Sarah, who drove too fast, Brian again meets with the motorbike guy and has another chat. He's a lawyer, he says. Likes the scenery. Some talk on motels, it's getting late and he'll have to check in soon. Number exchange, then as he pulls away on his bike, he mentions that he's heard the sunsets are really nice in this area. Sunset Hotel/Motel?

Another hotel visit, an abandoned just skeleton of a building place. David again! Repeats he's a lawyer, then says he hasn't yet decided where to stay for the night. This place looks nice, albeit a bit drafty because of the lack of windows...

Snow radios Brian - 2 photos of a cop car were uploaded to the dark web about an hour ago. Time to talk. Who's car is that? Is it Brian or another cop? Who took the photos? David? Someone else?

Brian, Snow, and Angel meet to talk on the darkweb.

Snow describes David Watcher as Caesar. Caesar messaged Snow a little bit ago to check the DW latest photographs - PD cruiser. Brian thinks David took those photos, quite possibly.

Now Brian takes it from the relative top, starting with Baas and why he's been recently interested in the darkweb.

Snow says he's been through some puzzles. There are people out there who know all the answers to the questions, who is accessing the sites, who is on the quest, and where people will be and how people will try. It's a test, he says. There's even a page with "watchers" in the name.

David Watcher told Snow through a darkweb chatroom to check out this picture, it's apparently "important to the PD". He didn't elaborate, however, so Payne's realtor activities are shrouded in mystery. Like, so?

Bo talks some on David Watcher and has a code, 9291, which may be related to the darkweb. Brian recommends Bo not mess much with David. Bo shows a note some guy obtained - see at right.

Nah, 9291 doesn't work, at least not on Brian's current page.

On the phone with Stonefinger, the two discuss the dark web, and question one. Brian confirmed Stonefinger had been followed before he started his work with the dark web. A man with short cut, light brown hair is his follower. Brian gives the idea that the location where the last Talon video was filmed might be underground - he pokes Stonefinger's knowledge while not letting on that Baas is missing. Unfortunately, Stonefinger doesn't really have any specific locations in mind. Brian directs Stonefinger to Snow for more dark web stuff.

Brian dips fully into the dark web investigation - mainly on his own and occasionally checking in with Stonefinger, who's relatively in the same quest at the same time.

**Long Version of Brian on the Quest**

"SUNSET SHORES" Question two: "If you were a lumberjack where would you drink and eat in paleto"? "BAYVIEW LODGE" Question three: "What is the name of a pest control company in law santos"? "BUGSTARS" Question four: "Whats the first 5 Chars on the tanks underwater next to humane labs"? Brian readies his scuba tank. Near the shore, a lone abandoned taxi is seen. Some monka moments later, Brian learns that Stonefinger is in the area and it's his taxi. Brian warns of the watchers and then joins Stonefinger in the hunt for the tanks. Ah ha, hard to read but we have some characters to try. D2854. Question five: "what's the name of the power station in San Andreas"? Brian calls Stonefinger to tell him the characters from question four. "PALMER-TAYLOR" Question six: "The sunken plane in the waters of paleto belong to what airline"? Into some more waters he goes. There it is, US Airlines. "US" Question seven: "What women politician is running for governor of san andreas"? "SUE MURRY" Question eight: "Some where outside of the city there is a dock and on the dock there is a red plastic crate what is written on it"? "PIBWASSER" Question nine: "Theres a huge frighter shipwreck in the oceans of los santos, what is the 4 letters before the serial of its freight containters"? Well fuck, there's some containers on land, let's try these. "BMZU" Question ten: "What airline company does jet charters in los santos"? "DEVIN WESTON" Question eleven: "There is a party boat floating somewhere around los santos what it's name?" "DIGNITY" Question twelve: "Theres a Material Wealth Fabric storage building near a trainsyard what is its street number"? "1892" Question thirteen: "Theres a Old Oil Rig in the water south of Pacific Bluffs Country Club, Finish this Serial "H-" \*\*\*" Quick drowning excursion, then back at it, no problem. "537" Question fourteen: "IF i wanted to get feed for farm animals where would I go"? "MORRIS & SONS" Question fifteen: "What company runs the Salvage & Scrap Industry In Los Santos"? "ROGER"

Now it's more than a question. The page reads, "Find the Sacred Trinity of Numbers located throughout the city, put on your sneakers. Bring the numbers to the 5 apostles, enter the kingdom from the backdoor. BEWARE SINNER!" Followed by more text on sloth / acedia.

A suspicious person is seen around the church in a car. He seems to be avoiding interacting with Brian and walks oddly back to his car. Brian signals to the man to pull over, and discovers it's Nathaniel Greyson. Brian remembers Bo's note from earlier that Greyson is not to be trusted: he takes a photograph of his license, later stating his radar was just reading incorrectly and letting him go. Before he turns around, Brian asks if Greyson is "watching". In this, Brian is also telling him that he knows that they know that he knows. The answer is no, but Greyson is later seen circling back around to the area of the church, suggesting otherwise.

Brian calls Snow and Angel to an investigation briefing room. He tells of his experience with Greyson. Similar clothing to David. Snow says Payne might know more about these watchers than he's letting on. PDM Records on dark web. Fastlane records are updated as Snow's newly acquired r35 info is there. Housing. Employee lists. Plan to buy a PDM car to see if it shows on the site anywhere. Jesse Skids. Snow hasn't been to Brian's latest clue now. Brian shows Snow and Angel. Back to it!

Brian considers finding someone who can get into the dark web quest, get access, and additionally share the current evolving codes with Brian. Need someone on both sides who can be Brian's access point.

Baas still missing and Dark still in ICU. Refer "Talon's Terrorism" Arc.

Snow tells of some jobs on the dark web page RICO. Units, rolls. Brian says all these shadow orgs are all connected.

Snow talks more on the dark web. He logs into the chatroom and someone named "Watcher", a possible admin, messages him. He asks Snow on the page to help Brian with his visit to the Bay Care Center - help him on his quest or he will be a problem to Snow, according the Snow's online contact.

Snow's working on getting a VPN for Brian.

A severe cough. Then: "The path to the back door is not paved. Less(?) you know the trinity or the apostles I do not have time." It's Stranger. Brian says he has an idea for another way in. He's been spending all of his time on this quest: he's made it to the 5 apostles. Brian mentions dates of deaths on gravestones. The lurkers. He knows about the watchers watching, and has the license plate of one of them, which he can give to Brian. They plan to meet tomorrow.

Edward has some reservations on Doug Canada. He mentions the Reverend, who gave OTT the dark web quest a while back and Edward and Doug were in the Misfits and they were sent in by OTT. Last time Edward had a quest Doug was told to assassinate OTT and so was kicked out of the Misfits - then Edward was later blown up and into the ICU. So Edward is trying to protect Doug: it seems to be in a similar situation, and Edward doesn't want to leave his friend. Refer "Group 404" Arc.

Forcer shows Brian how to access a secret shop in the darkweb. Someone named Jacob approached her to ask if VPNs were legal. He said someone told him to give the VPNs to either Forcer or Brian. Maybe Watcher, Brian thinks. Forcer says all the info has made it over to Snow.

Brian informs Copper, Snow, and Rhodes that Stonefinger has made it to the final stage of the dark web quest and that he recommended Stonefinger not seek to continue for his own safety.

He also tells of Dark's CI, Edward Nygma. Remember, his Doug Canada story. Brian gives the story rundown to the officers. He also briefly mentions Group 404 Arc stuff. Brian says he plans to meet with Edward to get more info after the car show.

Brian says that Forcer was approached by someone named Jacob at Brian's party - she was given 2 VPNs and Snow and Brian's names were dropped. Interesting, says Snow. Rhodes says that the Reverend approached him some time ago, and that "when he's needed, he'll be called upon" or whatever.

Dark web sales of weapons. Lot more activity lately, and deals. C3 machine gun. Molotovs.

Brian shows back up to the PD and inside a man in a purple jacket is talking to some other officers. He says Brian's birthday party was lit, and he suffered the effects of a Molotov. He was robbed just prior as well. He was told to speak to Brian, Lauren, and Archer. He explains why his stuff being stolen is a massive problem - he wishes to open the Digital Den, a place to sell electronics. In the past few days, he has had 45 sales - he lists a few products. He has an ERP petition, and hopes the officers will sign. Lauren apparently walked away when Jacob brought this all up to her. He said he paid 10k for a VPN a bit ago, and the next day, he bought for 45 phones, a Nokia, a gameboy, and a VPN. He said he wasn't told what the VPN does, the seller only winked at him. He no longer has his VPNs and such as he was robbed at Brian's party. Issue. Stolen: 1k cash, red decryptor, gameboy, 2 VPNs. He's also concerned about only wanting to sell legal stuff at his shop - he doesn't want to get in trouble for any illegal activity. The 2nd VPN was sold to him for 15k, by a masked man who only winked. He cares mostly for the gameboy and the decryptor, as those are his shop's products. The man gives his phone number to the PD, and says his name is Jacob Harth. Current prices: 1 decryptor for 2k, 1 decryptor for 2,100k. 4.1k looking to be recovered. Brian says he and the PD will look into this, and suggests it would be a good idea for Jacob to find a lawyer.

Jacob proceeds to show them his website, and gets frustrated at the Talon video that shows initially, belittling the supposed lack of PD response and calling Talon "fucking idiots". On the Digital Den website, Jacob directs Brian to the petition page, topped with ERP, which clearly stands for "Electronic Rights Petition". He wants to sell PD tasers, PD cameras, and PD flashlights - with some proceeds going to the PD. Brian calls the Digital Den an electronics pawnshop. Shots are heard outside, and Jacob quickly looks out the door's window. Talk on claims, cycle of items logging, etc.

Brian is confused - he thought Forcer had picked up the 2 VPNs, but Jacob says she instead just walked away. Brian tells his side of the story, what Forcer told him. Jacob says Archer directed him to meet and talk with Forcer and Brian on the VPNs, which is why Jacob went to Brian's party. Brian is a bit relieved, this is all just about robbed VPNs, doesn't seem like anyone's life is in danger here. Nah. Jacob says he'll keep watch for his stolen goods via pawn. Just before they part, Brian suggests Jacob meet with him as other cops may not take as much care with information. Brian spends a few minutes to himself to jot down some notes.

Jacob returns a few minutes later - he now wants to report his car stolen. He gives his license plate of Glendale, D3W94840.

Brian meets with Stranger and mostly talks on Talon. However, they also discuss dark web - at the moment, they both are at the stage in the dark web quest of the apostales. Sounds like these are actual people, the Watchers, says Brian. Best way to circumvent would be to acquire a VPN. They're watching closely - they might be pretty close to Talon as well.

Brian tells Stranger of Thomas Dwayne - a very ambitious man. He allured to a relationship between the dark web and Talon. And now he's missing - he probably dug too deep.

Brian recommends taking a close look into the VU, the underground. He also suggests Stranger check out lawyers in LS - in particular, Nathaniel Greyson and David Watcher. The latter is connected to the dark web and is careless. They monitor very closely the dark web quest. It appears those people the Watchers (or higher) don't like poking into the quest, they go missing...

Stranger says these additional investigations may stray too far from Talon.

"Watch the Watchers," recommends Brian. They give information.

Stranger says one individual has been looking into the victims of Talon, other than Stonefinger: however, this guy has given many names for himself so he's hard to identify. He's asking certain relevant questions and is following Stranger's trail in investigating Talon. While driving in the SS, Stranger believes he caught the man's license plate: 79000JTQ. Brian checks the database - look to be fake plates. Comes back to James Muldoon, an EMT. # not in service. Stranger describes this guy as short, with a deep almost robotic like voice. This description reminds Brian of a previous conversation he had recently (refer "Dark Web" Arc). Stranger mentions "Digital Den". This man sells electronics. Sounds like Jacob. This man told Stranger he was a news reporter part time and electronic salesman part time. Brian remembers Stonefinger told him of a similar voice. Brian suggests Stranger keep an eye on this dude - doesn't seem dangerous, but interesting. Stranger repeats that this individual has been following the victims and has also communicated with Stonefinger in the past. This is the same guy who previously claimed he worked for Weazel News and was caught in the lie.

Some talk on Talon (refer "Talon's Terrorism" Arc).

Back to talking on dark web. Phone numbers, some begin with "555" then are followed by 4 numbers starting with "01". Stranger will also look into locations and more numbers.

VPN, Tyrone, Dundee? Anyway. Brian meets with Forcer and Angel. He gets Forcer's story of Jacob and the VPNs. Forcer doesn't know much more about Jacob besides that he runs "Digital Den". Brian tells some on what he knows of Jacob.

Forcer inquires about Edward. Brian tells a little of Edward and how deep he is and the danger he is in.

Brian says all these arcs are connected. Talon, dark web, taco shop, etc. Individuals in each are involved in others. Forcer is concerned that her initials, "LF," are being engraved in victim's chest - quite concerning. Brian wants to debrief to a lot of people at once rather than repeating himself multiple times.

Forcer wants to be kept in the loop on Edward. With what Forcer has been saying, it doesn't seem she is getting the message...she may very well get Edward killed unintentionally. Brian will have to tell Edward to speak only with him possibly...

Brian meets with Edward and is outright, "I think she's going to get you killed." (Regarding Forcer). Edward doesn't have much relationship with Forcer beyond a note - as he's primarily Dark's CI, the other officers might not know how valuable Edward is. Brian asks how Edward is getting his info and what he focuses on - just in general is the answer. Brian recommends that Edward only speak with him as a CI until Dark is back on duty, to mitigate the risk posed to Edward.

David texts - says Brian has something of his. A hello from the other side. Brian suggests they meet at Weazel News. "We meet on my terms...I don't like driving around." He says he's at the pier, the Del Perro one.

At the pier, a man in a full black suit and tie stands waiting. He wears a black helmet. He gets in the passenger side, and Brian hands over a usb drive. This results in a "thank you." He now wants to share something with Brian - a picture on an SD card. It's the picture he took that night Brian met with Thomas Dwayne - it's of the two men outside. David wants to know why Brian took the picture from him - Brian starts to say he doesn't appreciate...then doesn't finish his sentence.

Brian asks what David's perspective is: what does he think is going on? No idea is the response. Brian says there was potential for David to be in grave danger, and he was trying to mitigate. Sometimes decisions have to be made.

"Do you know what I do in the city?" David asks.

Brian says he can only guess, beyond the label of 'lawyer'. You like watching people - why, not really sure.

David wants to mark a location on the GPS. He says he knows what Brian was doing up in Sandy - doing more than catching choppers. David tells Brian of a mineshaft. He doesn't want to go in, he claims, but instead states this is where the story starts. David gets out of the car on arrival to the mineshaft and stares directly down the tunnel. He wants to reveal something. Brian gets out of the car now and holds his pistol at the ready, just in case he needs it.

"Does the name Caesar mean anything to you? ... There was a stabbing of a Parson's inmate, one Jessie Skid. Now he didn't die as a result of this stabbing, but he was...very injured. This is where my story started. He was very delusional, I guess, that's why he was in Parsons. The voices that were in his head were incredibly loud, and I took him somewhere quiet. While he was going down the mineshaft, he said he knew Raven, who was chief of police at the time, knew where he was and he was coming. And, he did eventually show up, with a few other people. It was very interesting to watch. Now you said something about - the meeting, across from the courthouse - and you said if I knew it would put me in danger. If you knew who I worked for, you would know I wasn't in any danger. Doesn't matter who it is, I don't know who was in that meeting and it doesn't really matter. I followed you. I saw you parked at Garage Q, somebody came over, and you happened to park outside. So I waited. Granted, it did take like a fucking hour."

"So what got you involved in the dark web?" Brian asks.

"That is a very good question. How's your quest going, Brian?" David turns away from Brian and takes off his helmet.

"Other things have taken my attention. The dark web is a very intriguing place. I found a note, a not long ago, giving us access to being able to watch, looking at some of the sites on there...It wasn't long before going down that path I began to realize that, well, less of a realization and more of a - very difficult to do things you wanna do as a cop. Especially recreational things."

David asks if Brian's seen some of the sites, then takes ownership of the responsibility for the source of the pictures on the dark web.

Brian asks if he also has a hand in the pin code.

No answer to that one, which may be an answer in itself, but David refers to the links - their endings. They all end in ".ogre" - because, like ogres, we have layers.

Brian asks Thomas Dwayne's involvement.

David says he will not reveal nay names, as the same as he's told Snow.

"If he hasn't confirmed my identity yet, you're the first person to know."

"Caesar."

"Indeed."

Confirmed then. Brian says it's a pleasure to meet. Then Brian wonders, "why me?"

"We recently opened access for 24 hours - and on that day when you were in Sandy, I wasn't actually looking for you - I was following Snow. And he drove through Sandy and I stopped to look at my phone. That's when you past me." David gave Brian a hint that day. David confirms the pictures of the cruiser found on the web uploaded that day were his pictures and they were indeed Brian. Those drafty hotel rooms with no windows allowed for great shots, gotta say.

Brian wants to know why David was following Snow, then why he directed his attention to Brian.

"I'm an information gatherer - it's what I do. I take pictures, I gather information, and you circling around here peaked my interest."

Brian says the following activity piqued his interest and some puzzle pieces started to fall together. "The city talks, and it talks a lot".

"That's why my job is so fun; there are a lot of loose lips in this city."

Brian wants a hint to the apostles question. "Oh who the fuck knows, David might have cracked a smile here. "Like I said, there's layers - members don't' know each other unless it's needed. The people that created that puzzle, I don't know who they are. But I was given access."

Brian suggests some people want more than their piece in the dark web.

David continues, "For the past year, all I've been doing is gathering information and taking pictures. I was hidden until recently. I enjoyed it; it was relaxing."

What drew you out? He left notes for some people, cipher notes. Nobody took part until Forcer and Diaz. Then, he became more active.

The information he gathers is not for sale - it's gathered for someone else. "Perhaps for the Watcher?" David is silent. Then, "Perhaps."

Brian says David wanted Snow to work with Brian - a test. That wasn't me, replies David.

Brian again inquires why the interest of Snow and himself to David. "You were not the only person I followed [that day]."

"Once you finish your quest, you will see who else was there."

Who else was there? Pushback, "finish the puzzle, Brian!"

"I hope you understand I saved you a lot of headache by taking that camera - you stumbled upon some SBS. The kind I imagine you don't want to deal with."

"It was amusing...let's put it like that." David returns.

Brian asks how he can get his photos removed. David stands up, exiting the car - "you don't," and briskly walks away.

He knows who the Watcher is, the layers of the dark web are confirmed and its operation (or there is coordination or coincidence), David now knows Brian knows that David knows, etc. Brian takes notes.

Dundee gets in touch with Brian - he lost a VPN and wants it back. Brian searched Tyrone a few days ago and Tyrone did not have a VPN on his person at that time.

Well Dundee really wants his VPN back. Neither really trusts the other. Apparently he's "in shit" if he doesn't get his VPN back. Brian presses this but doesn't really get a direct answer. Dundee offers money to Brian for a VPN. Brian hunts for more info. Dundee gets more rallied up. Brian hunts for more info. Dundee calls back, says he wants some gold bars back as he has receipts.

Brian and Snow talk on Caesar / David Watcher. They compare their information, most appears to match, and share more information.

Brian tells Snow there is a fourth individual in the Talon video - latest. Jay Stevens is going to be pushed as a narrative for use by the PD. Relation to someone described similar to Jacob...he seems to be following the victims of the FIB bombing. Connection here. Snow will look into it a bit on his side. Snow says he may also have more information on the sales on the sloth road site. Brian and Snow will share updates.

Brian pulls Tyrone aside to ask about Dundee's VPN. Tyrone says he robbed some random bitch - it's not even Dundee's VPN. He says he robbed Sarah Abbleton of FastLane - she also had an AK 47 full-size with a silencer and scope, a Draco, an AP with an extended mag, a Tec9 with an extended mag, and a heavy. Also some drugs, let's throw that in. Tyrone says he sold all that shit, and is surprised by this car mechanic with all these guns. She tried to sell him the guns, Tyrone says. This surprised Tyrone too, as she said she worked for some powerful people, and Tyrone found her actions of randomly trying to sell her hardware was out of line then.

Now he's curious why Brian wants to know what Tyrone got from Dundee: Brian says it's an internal PD thing, and Dundee and others thought Brian 'stole it', diverting attention away from the VPN itself. Brian and Wrangler step aside, and now Brian hears Wrangler's opinions on CIs.

Just before being fined, Tyrone offers some additional information on VPNs - Brian says sure, he'll listen, for evidence purposes. Tyrone remarks on usability of the VPNs.

Brian now gets Wrangler's thoughts on the situation.

Tyrone mentions Brian's interest in the VPN again...

Brian meets with Dundee, who wants to talk. He's in "deep shit now, cause word's going around on the SS that I've been snitching the cops and I sold out Tyrone". He does not sound happy. Now for the story: Dundee needed the VPN, so seeked it from Tyrone, who apparently stole it from someone else. Dundee needed the VPN to collect for someone else. Tyrone told Dundee the cops took it for investigation. So Dundee told the cops that he wants his VPN back - cops don't have it. Cops go to Tyrone, why you stealing the VPN from Dundee? Tyrone goes back to Dundee, "yeah I lied, I do have the VPN, I wanted to see what you'd do!" Then Tyrone goes around SS telling everyone Dundee's a snitch adn talking to the cops.

Well he's fucked. Brian says Dundee's probably overreacting. Brian picks up a phone call from babe. Brian says this whole story around this VPN is a spiraling mess. Dundee isn't appreciative of the PD members talking. Brian says well, just talk to those who don't talk to like everybody; everyone does things differently.

Dundee says he killed an officer Maverick Shaw. Anyway, Dundee says he needs Brian and some other PD people to tell Tyrone that it wasn't Dundee who told them earlier - he wants to start spreading this drama. He considers this VPN a big deal, and if he cannot get it back he's in "deep fucking shit". He refuses to tell who he needs the VPN for. Brian says he'll help. Dundee returns that Brian needs to prove himself.

He wants to start a rumor that someone tried to frame him. Brian suggests the cement guy. Holy shit this all could actually line up. Dundee says he'll look into it.

Brian suggests a mutual partnership to get other skumbags and hardware off the street. Dundee sees this offer as him being a snitch. Brian says it's using the PD to his advantage. Anyway, there could be some sort of partnership.

Back to PD's story - nah, forget about that, story needs to be changed on the crim side. Bit more talk, then as they part Brian tells Dundee their conversation stays between them.

Uchiha meets with Brian. Mention of Doug Canada. VPN topic brought up again. Sounds like cops are all directing to Brian. Brian tells of his job, he's a big deal - must be a target. Now they're talking about Chang. Just before he leaves, Uchi recommends keeping an eye on Paleto.

Stonefinger, a few days later, calls and tells of the name "The Narrator" - he came across it while investigating the dark web.

Stonefinger has been able to link the "Narrator's" name with the dark web. Brian questions the credibility of the source that led to this link. Stonefinger went to talk to Bovice [Redacted] about the contract placed on his life - while talking, he struck up a conversation with someone named Raphael, the latter giving him information on the Narrator. Now Brian wants to know some more details.

[Redacted] talked about society, the order, and gave the name of Carl Crimes when Stonefinger mentioned the trinity puzzle of the dark web. Carl was very evasive in his responses. Stonefinger has since spoken to Raphael again, and was told to mention the Reverend on Twatter: then, the Reverend should reach out. Has not happened yet. Next person to try to contact is the Narrator, or Thomas Dwayne, says Rafael to Stonefinger, who also gets a number he can call.

Brian tells Stonefinger that he knows not much more, and that Dwayne is certainly involved in the dark web. This guy of high interest. However, he hasn't been seen in a while... Possibly posing as a Bondi under a new identity.

Hell, dark web has gotten quiet...

Months pass. Then, a phone call: "You have a surpriseee!" Ping to a location. Brian sets up a welfare check with Forcer and Malton for every few minutes then makes his way out the double doors. At an open parking garage, Brian checks for notes/items. In the corner of the lot is a note with binary:

01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01101001 00101110 01100111 01111001 01100001 01111010 01101111 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 00110000 00111000 00110011 00110001 00110001 01100100 00110010 01100001 00110010 01100100 00110001 00111000 00110101 01100010 00111001 00110111 00111001 00111000 01100011 01100100 01100101 00111001 00111000 01100011 00110000 00110011 01100110 00110000 00110001 01100101 01100011 00110100 00101110 01101010 01110000 01100111 00100000 01010111 01100101 00100000 01000001 01110010 01100101 00100000 01010111 01100001 01110100 01100011 01101000 01101001 01101110 01100111

Translated into text, it reads: "https://i.gyazo.com/08311d2a2d185b9798cde98c03f01ec4.jpg We Are Watching". The photo is of Brian and Forcer talking together in the office of MRPD as seen through a pair of binoculars. So they're back. The dark web is back. Or at least, some fragment of it.

Forcer calls Brian - she received another 'creepy voice' call about blood being on Trina's hands. Time to go undercover! Lauren reminds that they must be careful and the photographs from Winchester showing a meeting between Jacob, Funnyman, and an unknown female. She also mentions Chastity's name. And a bunch of other names. "Let the games begin."

911 that a body is found on a mountain - Brian radios in for the rest of PD to ignore. Before Brian and Forcer reach the mountain, EMS radios to PD that a note was found next to a woman on a mountain with her stomach cut open. Sure enough, the note reads, "This is what happens when your colleagues play games Lauren Forcer. - We are watching". The woman is Four Tee. Brian takes out his camera and scopes the area.

What's Trina's involvement? Is she getting so close it is dangerous? They decide to talk to Trina and recommend she be more careful. At Pillbox, as Brian and Forcer drive by, they see the same black car from earlier - watching. Inside, the doctor says a long slit was made on Four Tee's stomach - likely the doing of a knife. Multiple stab wounds.

[Crossover with Illuminati and Smileys/Chastity.]

Brian and Forcer go undercover and meet with David. He says he recently was legal representation for Joshua Wade - earlier that day Wade was still in the hospital. David had figured Joshua and Chastity were good friends, yet it seems Chastity was the one that led to his ICU. He knows "quite a bit" on Wade. David also met someone else, Tobi Argent. He takes a few steps back due to concern that Forcer will punch him, as she apparently did the last time he spoke on Tobi. Joshua seems to think something has happened to Tobi - yet, he refuses to give further information to David.

"Is that why you're really here?" Brian questions. "No, it isn't," is the reply from David, "I can give you..." he visibly appears more comfortable as Forcer excuses herself back to their vehicles so David and Brian could talk together.

"Take it the dark web is starting to bloom again?" "Mm, it is." "Why?" "We normally operate in the background and it has recently come to my attention that there is something else trying to be us(?). Have you heard of the Board?" "The Board? The Illuminati?" Unknown if connected, but David learned through Tobi there is some form of a "Board". So David called out this Board on Twitter, which led to a PN call. Tobi himself spoke initially of the Board, and all that he has shared with David is that someone with the last name of "Prince" runs it. So perhaps this is why the Watchers have returned from the shadows? "We've recently accepted 2 new participants - apparently one is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet." Brian confirms the Watchers are a part of the DW but not representative of its entirety, yet David gives a slight clarification: "One cannot operate without the other".

"Where does Thomas fit into all of this? He claims to be heavily involved, yet I've seen no sign of this." David says Thomas may be all talk. Brian does not have much information to give regarding this Board reference - it's very similar to another group but not DW. David remarks his Twitter post to learn about the Board was not an intelligent move as it gave away his identity a bit in a sense.

The reason he is here is because of Chastity Dawes - he has what he believes is the "nail in the coffin". It's a sensitive topic for Lauren, this talk on Chastity.

Brian mentions the Reverend and learns that David has some "unresolved issues" with the man. Brian gives intel that the Reverend stabbed a government employee that morning - he really doesn't like being watched. The funny thing about religion, it's sometimes simply a means to an end... An Adam Prince tweets and David wonders if this is the Prince he seeks. It's possible. Brian calls Forcer back so she can learn what David has concerning Chastity.

Forcer and Brian sidebar while David answers a PN call. The "Board" may pull from the the Illuminati group; Forcer confirms this idea on the right track with what she found earlier on the member list for Illuminati. There were crates to/from Rome, Forcer says.

David returns, his phone call concluded. The identity of the camera man was confirmed to David by two different reliable sources: the name wouldn't hold up in court but there is evidence of which he sends to Forcer.

Per the Illuminati, Forcer gives an inscription to Brian - it's in Latin. It was found on one of the doors she looked at along with an eagle. Quick Gurgle, "Give the government shut eye". Taking the automatic translation into account, the actual translation could be some similar version, like "Close the eyes of the government". Forcer lists out a few places bodies keep being found.

It's interesting, the exact relationship of the watchers and those who run the dark web. The watchers are a pathway to dark web access, but it still isn't exactly evident the organization. Upon mention of the Reverend, David expressed there was a disconnect there. Might be a small disagreement, but interesting nevertheless... Brian figures the watchers of the DW and the Illuminati/Board are maybe at odds. Thomas is a link, a focal person for the Illuminati who also describes himself as heavily involved in the DW. It could be that Thomas in all actuality did not have that deep-seated association he so claimed.

The DW offers drugs, weapons, hit lists, contracts, etc. Unfortunately, the PD lost the VPNs needed to access the DW months ago. Forcer explains why she didn't accept the VPNs from Jacob during Brian's birthday party months ago. Brian senses there's more to Jacob than him just running Digital Den...

A vehicle pulls up alongside Brian and Forcer then quickly drives away. David calls Brian - "I need your help with something. It has come to my attention that someone in the city is hoarding VPNs and I would like them back." This someone is vulturing them off watchers and David wants them back. It's the ESB. Really. Brian requests photographs of the ESB moving in and out of ESB properties with illegal weapons so the PD can initiate a raid and allow Brian to extract the VPNs. The fuck are the ESB/Tyrone collecting VPNs? Eugene and Buddha each carry a VPN; there was a LB/ESB war very recently.

David and Brian meet. ESB are at war with the LB, says David, although today they were all seen together standing in a circle. That could be over property - that block ownership has always been under contestation. For a raid we need a certain level of evidence. The two leave the drafty hotel with no windows and, nevermind, now they go IN the drafty hotel. Brian feels the location is better for their conversation.

"Mr. Jesperson," David begins, "was recently released from Parsons. One of his friends, Joshua Wade...this has to stay between you and I...he wants to come clean". Wade has a new lawyer, Tidus. David claims Chastity is a good friend. Wade was the cameraman for several of Chastity's murders/artworks. Now, Wade is willing to accept a plea deal as there is a target on his back. Tidus had reached out to David, who redirected him to Brian. There's a sound of a passing vehicle; Brian checks the area before returning inside. David warned Tidus of the situation, and the new lawyer is "very worried" because of the associations with Mr. Smiley and Chastity.

"Also, someone else is missing - Tobi Argent." Isn't he in the hospital though, asks Brian. Wade's mask gives him safety with his DID, but his mask is currently misplaced... David continues on to say the murderer of Tobi called him earlier. Brian tells of the 3 personalities he knows of Tobi and some other information given to him by Chastity. David does not give the name of the person claiming to be the murderer, yet does say the name is not Wade. Quick break to confirm schedules with the PD. Explain the call, requests Brian, what was the purpose of the call? The relationship: someone in the background seemed to think the caller shouldn't be saying what he/she did over the phone and to David. Once we know the name we should then understand. Okay, what would it take to get the name? Wait, shh, do you hear that knocking? They decide it must be the creaky old motel. There's the sound of a car though... Brian scopes.

David says the new DW quest is the same as before. Onto the VPNs ESB have. David checked Tyrone's properties: Grove Street 11 and Grove Street 7. However, there are a collective of properties for ESB. David makes his case again for acquiring the VPNs, promising the name Brian wants for getting these back. Brian clarifies how David wants the information shared. Sounds like David is stepping out of the shadows, especially with that initial tweet.

Brian speaks to the ESB.

David gives some photographs that are hopefully enough to start a raid on the ESB. The camera quality is poor so Brian hands over his PD camera.

The Reverend is seen overwatching at PDM.

The PD, under orders from Soze, meet on a rooftop to discuss the ESB and LB, along with the potential for an ESB raid. And maybe also a LB raid... refer "LB vs. ESB".

The Reverend quickly and silently drops a note with binary to Brian:

01101000 01110100 01110100 01110000 01110011 00111010 00101111 00101111 01100111 01111001 01100001 01111010 01101111 00101110 01100011 01101111 01101101 00101111 00110011 01100001 00111000 00110011 00110110 01100010 00111001 00110110 00110010 00110010 00110100 00110110 00111000 00110011 00111000 00110011 00110001 00111000 00110001 00110111 00110011 01100101 00110011 00110010 00110011 00110110 00110001 00110001 00110110 01100010 00110110 01100100

Converted, it leads to a picture of the PD just moments before discussing on a rooftop.

Brian spots a man stumbling on his feet and pulls off the road to see if he requires assistance - turns out it's Tidus, who David mentioned earlier. Brian offers to drive him to a hospital as he seems quite drunk.

Calls up Claire to request she meet with him. Meanwhile, Tidus falls onto his knees throwing up everywhere in the background. Call with Claire isn't going well. Next try, Gio. This call works and Brian takes Tidus to meet Gio. Picks up a few woman at Q and Brian drives everyone to where Claire and Flippy are at the country club, she decided she wanted in the fun after all.

PN call, "apparently Ripley wants to play games. I do not want a repeat of last night. We don't ask for much, just that we aren't bothered". Brian radios to PD channel that PD shouldn't take photos of the Reverend and that they not play games of any sort with him. Ripley replies that he already provoked a game at an ammo store whoopsie - Brian hightails it to the location. Ripley explains: he spotted the Reverend silently watching MRPD and approached him, warranting the Reverend to ask Ripley to radio Brian to ask how he felt about this game. Ripley did, and Brian basically responded back "sure go ahead" because he didn't understand what was being asked, and the Reverend seemed taken aback and told Ripley Brian could expect some a game later. Uh oh... Brian recommends Ripley not mess with this guy and that he's involved in a serious investigation that also involves Snow.

Reverend calls again, he thanks Brian for his assistance and says several watchers are on the task to fetch photos of the ESB for the PD to raid.

With Soze in the city the PD decides to press forward with the raid - only one VPN is acquired from the ESB raid. There must be a stash elsewhere as they surely have more VPNs...

Brian updates Snow on the whole DW ESB VPN situation. Snow gives some information he has on the DW. Ceasar = David; the Brotherhood = the Reverend, Dragon = Chang.

The Reverend calls; he wants to know the riches from the ESB raid. 1 VPN. He has more photographs - these of ESB members with guns after their raid. Brian replies his interest. Package delivered to Life Invader and undercover Brian and Snow go to check it out:

"https://pastebin.com/RRub23tW take them for ALL they got and crush their souls. We Are Watching." Pastebin: "https://gyazo.com/b8a87c5514fb42b8f45b4754be5089d9; https://gyazo.com/67b1428f593d63ee8a8847b2f8aae4f4; https://gyazo.com/77c7b5ff6bc6166c2b8888606bfb64e4; https://gyazo.com/d857bce44ba03d2b594eab444cece9b5; https://gyazo.com/31a40a76b1ca15f5cd2a2c47b5e9ba3b; https://gyazo.com/a3cd3f3e096f300c8c713bf2536816f5"

Brian continues to update Snow.

Reverend calls again - Brian updates that the PD needs more evidence before hitting the ESB hard. Also, the Reverend says Brian can keep 1 VPN and can use it to contact him via the dark web.

Brian checks out his VPN. Looks like he needs to talk to Snow.

Hey, it's Tidus in MRPD. Brian and him will speak later.

Alexandra Moroz calls about a mysterious present left at her house by her stalker. Vale and other PD members haven't been responding to her 911s. Brian says all officers are busy and recommends going to MRPD.

A note for Brian and Snow.

*"Declaration of War"*

*"Target is the Board*

*Known members are as follows:*

*Adam Prince, Information suggest he is the leader"*

*"Signed by" [image of a finger on lips].*

The fuck is this Adam Prince guy?!

Brian shares with Snow and Copper the Watchers' bad relationship with a "Board" - originally believed to be a reference to the Illuminati.

Snow shares that he came into possession of a package with Olivia Harvey's ear along with two photographs of her entering and exiting a property on Grove Street. Olivia says she was kidnapped twice, the first as she stole the Reverend's glasses, and the second as she shot him.

Brian tells of the single VPN. Snow says there was communication on the dark web between Caesar (David) and the Brotherhood (the Reverend) about Harvey.

Brian creates an account for Mor: identifier: "Joker".

David and Brian meet. The shush note was from him. Let's talk on Adam Prince. David says this Prince guy works for Alexandra Moroz, who was recently quite injured. She spoke to David about the attack/her stalker: the "Spiral" organization. "If I hear her name from somebody else today, you will find her at the bottom of a lake, and it was me. She's ruining everything. Everything we've worked for. Everything she has worked for - and by "she", I don't mean Moroz, I mean somebody else. She's putting all of that in danger. And I swear Brian, I hear anything else, she'll have a date with the fish". David wants an update on the VPNs. "Before something happens to Moroz, she's going to give up the location of their stash houses, and I'm going to sit outside with my friends and we're going to catch them again, and again, and again...so they learn we are not to be messed with. Because I don't think they got the message the first time, even after clipping some ears."

Who's Olivia Harvey? David replies she's Tyrone's girlfriend. Brian brings up the possibility of an external stash house for ESB and also the possibility for the ESB to not actually have any more VPNs. David's info: Moroz used to work for the ESB and may still do, and Tyrone at one point sought to sell her a few VPNs. Certain people are not logging in, says David, and it's curious. VPNs were spread with deliberate intention for purposes of obscurity.

He's going to send Brian something and doesn't think Brian can work alone on it. But first, he wants Brian to promise to "protect this person and do everything in his power to make sure he lives". Blatant crime guy? No. Serial killer? No. Sounds good, Brian gives his word. David sends the name to Brian's email.

Oh shit. Does this have something to do with Chastity? Moroz and Chastity are working together, says David - Moroz has power over Chastity. Since Moroz came around, Chastity has been different, manipulated...

David requests Brian to look up Viper Rodriguez in the MDT - the latest charge was this morning for a 51-50 and Viper is now in Parsons. David represented as Viper's lawyer, and let's just say didn't put much effort in removing the psych hold, later visiting his former client at Parsons to give the line, "You mess with us, this is what happens".

Back to talking on Chastity. She was happy and living life with Tobi; her son being her will to live. Then, Moroz entered the scene and Tobi is now missing...highly suspicious, considers David. David wants to distance Chastity from Moroz; Brian says he'll see what he can do

So Brian has a choice in front of him: David or Chastity.

Brian views a video given by David - it's a stabbing of a person by Chastity with Mr. Smiley, someone in all black, and a cameraman all in attendance. Brian checks out a few other videos in the folder: illegal activity like more stabbings, sandings - with multiple instances of name dropping, etc. Shit. A good amount of footage here...

Rhodes mentions the DW is after him because he took a photo of David. Jacob Harth made an silent appearance shortly after as Rhodes was making an arrest. Brian learns Jacob Harth is deeply connected to the dark web and also of his brother Simon Harth and a psychologist Pixie Plum from Rhodes.

Vale informs Brian she wrote a report which pertains to the dark web. Brian subsequently deletes it from the MDT and sends the information to the JTF, letting Vale know. What she had written described 2 notes found at the Alamo Sea Pier, one in translated binary reads "Someone was drowned here yesterday" and the other:

"i love the view here its Crazy; the smell of wAter; its so rEfreshing right; Someone almost died here and i wArned you it would happen; someone had to die foR their mistake; next time heed my warning"

Capitalized letters spell "CAESAR".

Lawyer Tidus wants to speak with Brian. Out comes the notebook; one client of his is willing to cooperate with the PD in exchange for a reduced sentence. The unnamed client has been involved in situations which required him to film illegal activity. Forcer is aware of this client's identity. The DA office needs to be brought into the conversation, they agree.

Tidus now states he fears for his life - he believes he has found himself associated with quite dangerous people. He also requests witness protection for his client. David Watcher wanted Tidus to reach out to Brian... Tidus now hints at the dark web, which Brian doesn't acknowledge as recognizing. The lawyer paces back and forth nervously as he admits to participating in the DW scavenger hunt. "They seem to know everything, and I'm afraid of what kinda influence they could have on me. And I worry about the connections between that, and the client I told you about...because my client has told me one thing that is very concerning to me, which is that as much as I've given you all that information that he wants me to do, he has told me that he may chose not to. And from some questions that I have asked him, that's going to be decided not by him, but by someone else. And I worry that the person making that decision...I kind of want to bring that to police attention." He further says David holds the power if the client cooperates or not - and Tidus sees this as a problem. He's worried if he places a foot wrong, he and his family, along with his family's reputation, would be in danger from certain groups. He fears manipulation per information that could be leaked from his past and then promptly proceeds to tell Brian the dirt anyway. They thank each other for the conversation and part.

David calls the next day: "Are you aware of what happens when somebody takes a picture?" They meet. David begins by saying he's had this conversation multiple times with Snow - he doesn't want pictures taken of himself and those in his group. Two officers, one a female DOC officer and the other Forcer, took a picture of him moments before while he was standing next to Joshua Wade. Brian reminds it is a free country and speaks on appearances. David to send over a picture of the DOC worker to Brian for identification.

Brian pulls Forcer aside - he explains David is unhappy with unwelcome photographs taken of him. Forcer is hot on the response, saying she will respect the Reverend yet not David, who she thinks is just giving her old information as he also represents Chasity. Brian contradicts this but doesn't go into too much detail - he says David wants to put them in prison forever. "He's full of shit, and he's acting like he has more power than he actually does," Forcer returns. She doesn't see David as having the same presence as the Reverend and doesn't "even want to deal with him". Brian questions why she thinks this then says this guy is the reason why we have these unedited videos. Need to include Snow in this conversation, Brian thinks. She explains why she took her phone out moments before - because he was "standing in front of Mission Row pulling out his camera and waving...he's trying to act more important than he is". Brian disagrees and likens the situation to when officers used to take photos of the Reverend. Forcer claims Brian is being manipulated by David which warrants the retort she has no idea what Brian's relationship with David is. Forcer says "what [David's] doing is playing a dangerous game, and I don't like people big dicking their way around the PD...I'm sick of people thinking they're untouchable...he's fucking with us." Essentially, David annoys Forcer so she finds this cause to take pictures. Brian describes David as "way more dangerous than the Reverend ever would be, and this guy does not even get his hands dirty; he's more willing to work with us; he has given us more towards some these cases than anyone else has, and this is outside the things that I can even mention right now." Forcer says she won't touch him or look at him, she doesn't want anything to do with him. She agrees to not take any photos of him. She still doesn't like the "power play," as she sees it. She still finds David representing Chasity a point of concern.

They change locations to the FIB building and Brian references the new VHS "Betty" tape and how Chasity and Jasper are now working together. Several investigations have now met - we need to bring at least one to a close. Forcer states she hasn't had much luck thus far with the DA concerning Chasity. Talk on Jasper. Talk on evidence. Jasper is using Chasity, she tried to end her life, something happened with her and Tobi... Back to discussion on the problem with DA Larry. Maybe it's a matter of priority? Forcer speaks on what she has per her investigation on Chasity. She returns to talking on David and his presence as Chasity's lawyer; she's hung up on this now. David tortured Skid, she says??

Chasity calls: she says Curtis Swoleroid kidnapped, stabbed, and cut a finger of David. She says she tried to alert the PD when David was missing yet they didn't acknowledge it. Brian finds the report in the MDT she's referencing: ID #4552. Seems Ripley is handling this, says Brian. She starts to almost cry - there's a lot of people after her and Curtis threatened her life. Brian radios to Ripley to find out the report had been forwarded to Forcer.

PD discussion has a brief focus of the act of taking pictures of David and the Reverend.

David requests a meet and 3 PD cameras.

David calls Brian to thank him for the high-quality cameras. He also says he was kidnapped recently, 4 or 5 days ago, and lost a finger. Brian wonders if this is related to Forcer's kidnapping. Brian says he cannot control the PD; David says he's going to be changing things up a bit - yet doesn't provide any details.

David calls. [Refer "Satanic Rituals"] A mention of a birthday party, and "be prepared, some big things are going to happen today." Cryptic. We'll find out soon enough, he says... "Should I be worried," Brian asks. A pause, then "maybe."

A few hours later, David calls to ask about Brian's evening. Talk on the internal PD radio about David and his known relationships.

[Refer Satanic, Chasity, Illuminati] Brian and Baas interview Andi. She passes over a detailed document of her recording her interactions with Jasper. Andi says she can differentiate Jasper's voice from Joshua Wade's, and that there is a union of serial killers who all seem to look up to Chasity. A Thomas Dwayne also knows quite a bit, she's figured, and looks into these serial killers. Dwayne told Andi Jasper is dangerous and is known as the "cassette tape killer" - where he got that information, Andi does not know. Andi says Doctor Choi and Thomas Dwayne are close; included in their group is Flop Dugong, and maybe Bryce Miller and Izzy Carrington. When the Reverend, the chicken man, and Jasper started noticing her, Flop brought her to talk to Dwyane - but about Mr. Smiley. She met Mr. Smiley in the past, who seems close with Joshua Wade, who makes snuff films. She further says Jasper was a part of Chasity's group then later was himself hunted by Chasity's union. There was some laughter shared between Chasity and Jasper yesterday though so their current relationship is unknown. Brian and Baas recommend Andi stay low-key and stick with people she trusts. Chasity's killer union might have an agreement that Andi is off the table as a victim, but like that's trustable.

David and Brian meet. Mr. Smiley and two of his minions, Betty and Honey(?), wanted to know about the quest. Seems they had a lot of questions. David cut this meeting short and told them to fuck off. Yet David says Mr. Smiley has been giving the name of the other attendee, someone David cares about, to other people.

Brian cannot divulge the current investigation notes the PD has on Smiley - David wants to lock up the dude and is willing to assist. DOJ is a bit fucked though at the moment. David does not like name drops - he's down to follow Mr. Smiley and document any evidence the PD could use. Unfortunately, Brian himself isn't working on this case but there are other officers. Unknown how much progress they have made though. Seems David will have to take care of this himself...

Over a week later, Dan asks the latest on the DW. Brian refers to Snow.

#### **[ARC] - Group 404**

**A note, lost memory, and lost people.**

Status code = 404. [Mehdi cannot get too involved here, as his other character Nino has involvement - refer that wiki page for more info (currently I have this info only in hidden text there).]

Sun Moon asks to speak with Brian - they talk in the car as Brian drives. He says his name is probably Sun Moon, and that in his last accident he was shot and burned: the lack of oxygen has affected his memory. He has been using the alias Bob Morris. Bo Tucker suggested he use this name. He said some people have told him he owes them $250,000 - this amount is not anywhere in his transaction book back home. He's been hunted and beaten and threatened to loose his life tonight if he doesn't pay up. He mentions the names Chang, Ramee, Taco or Big E. Apparently he bought 'stuff' from them. He has a notebook for writing things down.

Brian suggests to start from the beginning.

About 2 or 3 weeks ago, he remembered waking up in Pillbox. Prior, he remembered nothing, save for a shaman giving him vodka and drugs so he could see visions of his past. The shaman wore only short shorts and had a deer mask: his voice seemed made for movie trailers. Maybe the voodoo man? In one vision, Sun Moon says, he dug up a bottle with a note in it. After emerging from the vision, he actually found a bottle in the same location of Little Seoul, yet it had a different message: "You are too late, sun moon, we have the keycode, "dark side"." On top of that, he says, he saw a notebook in another vision: one note read, "talk to Snow - he has the key." No answer from Snow yet though, says Sun Moon, who's been inquiring.

Brian's still fixated on the note in the bottle. Sun Moon fidgets in his pockets - ah, there it is. Sun Moon elaborates on his visions.

Brian now focuses on Sun Moon's usual money transfers - none in his book seem to be near as high the amount of 250k, which is what CG is requesting. Highest is about 80k and there are no mentions of Chang for any substantial amounts for about the past year. Brian requests to view the ledger. Off to Sun Moon's apartment they go.

Sun Moon's phone record.

Brian stops the car outside of Integrity and Sun Moon makes a quick dash inside. Once back in the car, he looks nervous and admits he is afraid - names of his dealings are all in there. Brian stops the car on the side of the road in a moderately remote location, and Sun Moon hands over the ledger. Brian will review later.

Once the ledger is safe in Brian's PD locker, and they're back on the road, Brian asks how far back the ledger goes. 2018 until the accident, with a few gaps.

Sun Moon says he was looking for a witch doctor, or a shaman, and was working with Uchiha who said he could find him one. He suggested to the VU - that's where CG beat him up and asked him for the money along with interest. Sun Moon referred to his book, no money to be owed? CG said how convenient.

"Do you have any reason to believe these guys are abusing your loss of memory? Or do you think this is legitimate?" Brian asks. Sun Moon says his doctors are telling him to be careful with what people are telling him, as they may take advantage of his current situation. He currently has about 648k in his account and owns a house - Covenant Avenue 9, but will have to sell soon. No family or friends in this house that he can remember, though the house looks well used by many people. Reason to believe this Convenant property used to belong to Eugene and prior to Bovice. He lives with an old lady in his apartment in Integrity. Also has a business - Eclipse 6. And Espinoz' key to a beach house.

Tyrone, Reggie, Bucket, Tessa, Bo, Espinoz, and Copper (and also Brian I suppose) have been helping him. The only ones showing hostility so far have been Chang Gang members, except for Vinny who made a remark to others to stop scamming Sun Moon.

Brian says to Sun Moon to reach out to him should he remember anything more. Sun Moon remembers another vision - he was in his Covenant property: there was a buck, a dragon, a white pimp sheep, and a man spitting fire. He got knocked out and woke tied to a chair - 4 men smoking cigarettes towered over him asking him what he knew. His response was that he knew nothing.

Brian reiterates that if anyone gives Sun Moon any problems, he should let Brian know.

Later, a man named Edward Ngyma wants to talk to Brian. He speaks on Dark and worries about people listening in on the conversation. He has been blown up in the past and stuff and is basically trying to figure out what happened to him.

Edward! Brian and Mineo head down to the pier to meet with him. He pulls up to the end just as Edward tells him not to - "black mask" is standing on the pier so Edward is backing away. Unknown what this new guy is doing but anyway they need a new meeting place. Brian chats up "black mask", who's wearing all white with a, get it, black mask, black gloves, and black shoes.

To the court center. Brian updates Mineo a bit that this is an information meeting. Both with yellow hair, Brian and Mineo will listen as Edward talks. Nah, nevermind. So I'm too busy but maybe I can get someone else to help [Mehdi's character Nino too involved here]. Brian determines later Edward is quite possibly Dark's CI, and is doing the dark web quest.

Edward has some reservations on Doug Canada. He mentions the Reverend, who gave OTT the quest a while back and Edward and Doug were in the Misfits and they were sent in by OTT. Last time Edward had a quest he was told to assassinate OTT and so was kicked out of the Misfits - then blown up and into the ICU. So Edward is trying to protect Doug: it seems to be in a similar situation, and Edward doesn't want to leave Doug.

Trooper Soze says he just recently raided Doug's place actually, a week ago.

Brian meets again with Edward, who worked as a CI with Dark for quite a while. Dark told him to only speak with one officer and never text information. Dark choose the locations and usually appeared unmarked. He says a decrypted note was given to Forcer from Chastity Dawes, purple haired and black mask, and Smiley, a guy in a red hood and a smile mask. Brian refers his past notes on Edward.

Edward repeats his Doug story, which concluded with him and Doug pushed from the Misfits group stemming from darkweb shit. On Tuesday, Doug found a note regarding the darkweb - he shared with Edward, and they started the quest on their own. During the underwater tank riddle, Doug received a phone call, became very quiet, then left, saying he had a business meeting. Edward didn't hear from Doug the rest of the day. Then a call from Dr. Ledson: Edward was listed as Doug's emergency contact. Story to continue later as Brian needs to leave.

Edward says there is a group called the 404 - all but someone named Sun Moon is missing. No key to the club house, Covanant Ave #9, and doesn't remember giving the key to anyone. Seems Sun Moon might have ownership. Sun Moon, Buck Colten, Bobby Goodman / Dragon, Preston Landor, and Chavez Flame all missing. Buck is known to leave for long stretches of time so Edward isn't too worried about him. The others, however, he is worried about - especially as Sun Moon has been acting weird lately.

#### **[ARC] - The Illuminati**

*// "The Shadow War For Los Santos Begins" on request of Nullsan lol*

[Dunrunnin12] = Thomas Dwayne / The Narrator
[OhHeyItsFunk] = Stonefinger

**Brian is approached by Thomas Dwayne, otherwise known as The Narrator. Invitation given to join the Illuminati per a deal of information from Dwayne in exchange for Brian's help in taking down the biggest criminals in LS. But what is really going on?**

Brian receives a call. On the other end, a man guides Brian to Office 4 in a building near Pillbox. His states his assistant, Medusa, is outside waiting to lead Brian in. She wears a full black outfit and black helmet with a visor. Brian stops the car, still on the phone with the man, then hangs up to meet with the woman. "Hello, Mr. Knight. I am Medusa - no one is going to hurt you here." Inside, two people block the main entrance while holding C2s - they wear similar outfits, formal black ones with facial coverings. Brian is called sir and lead into a room, where he is invited to sit down by a man in a snappy outfit: grey pea coat, red tie, dark green pants, black gloves and red business shoes. His white hair was slicked back. His assistants stand by, silent and with weapons at the ready.

He starts by saying he's been trying to give Brian information. Unfortunately, Brian has yet to make an appointment. Brian says his schedule has been busy.

The man offers information on Richard and Brian himself. "Who are you exactly, and what did you want with my son?"

"I am Thomas Dwayne, a member of the council Illuminati. I showed you my sidual(?), in hopes you would be more curious. I lied to you about its origins, thinking you would look at the sidual(?), the symbol itself, and be, perhaps consumed enough to want to speak privately. I don't want anything with your son, not now. I wanted you to use him, to lead you information to the Illuminati. I'm trying to topple it; I'm trying to overthrow it. Unfortunately, whatever I told Dan didn't get back to you or wasn't enough -"

"Or I was being too cautious." Brian interjects.

"That's very fair. So I used Flop (lastname?) to contact his adopted father, Richard Dark. Flop was to meet with Richard at Mirror Park. Over the radio, I would feed him information, and he was to inform Richard, in the hopes that he would follow through with an investigation. Through this, For I would do this to continue a stream of information through Flop, to keep myself safe. Unfortunately, they were either watching me, or they were watching Flop a bit closer than I expected. they snagged Richard Dark, during the meeting. Flop can attest to all this - that all this occurred."

"Are you talking about the nail that went through Richard's shoulder?" Brian asks.

"Nail? (?) Everything. Two gentlemen on my order snatched Richard, proceeded to torture him, at one of their locations. You see, when you become a full member of the Illuminati, you begin to gather prospects, people that can work for you, people that can be jockeys, etc. They assumed that Flop was my choice. They proceeded to see him speak to Richard, thinking he was attempting to infiltrate the order. So they took Richard, as a warning to Flop."

"So why were you trying to contact me, of all people?"

"Well, my order thinks you are one incredibly idiotic and entirely intellectually challenged individual. They think that they can do anything right under your nose and you won't notice. And I happen to disagree."

"Thank you."

"I think you're a bit smarter than you put on." He noticed the relationship of Dan and Brian regarding the taco shop information dumps. He figured it was better to speak face to face with another cop after what happened to Richard. He references his acolades(?) Wukong, Banshee, and Medusa as here to protect them both and keep the meeting safe and secret. On these works, one of them gives a graceful bow before picking back up her gun. "I want to work with you, Brian. I want to flop the whole Illuminati over, onto the point, and watch it fall apart. I'd like to feed you information. Unfortunately, I do not know any names. I am the newest member of the Council. But I know their positions in society, and I'm pretty close to finding out one of them. And - we're involved with the dark web as well."

Brian asks if he's an apostale. Gotta chase that clue still. He says he's a step above messenger, someone the apostales report to.

He also says Dan is in danger for snooping too much: apparently, he's been following both Dwayne and Carl around too much. On the basis that Dan knows too much, there is a contract out for Dan's life: 72 hours, 600k. Wtf Dan!

Why so much, inquires Brian. Dan has mentioned he knows Dwayne's involvement with the dark web, and that he also knows about Talon. Wait, what? Why would he say that? Unknown. Seemed strange to Dwayne as well. Well anyway, he said it, so he's targeted. Dwayne stands up and looks at Brian. Nevermind, just sat back down.

Brian loops back to the taco shop. Then questions Dwayne's statement of being in the Illuminati and dark web circle. Got any evidence to back your claims?

Illuminati, he points to his necklace. He's done stuff. For dark web, he's met with people.

Okay, what's the code?

The code after the sloth riddle? A few seconds of silence pass. Nah, cannot reveal, nor will I acknowledge any numbers you give to me to check. Not his place, he says.

MEL! Apparently he was just stopping by to get his coffee thermos.

Back to it. Dwayne gives a story of Dan(or someone else?) sneaking around the taco shop. Sounded like he freaked out and gave information.

Wait, wait, roll back to the code. Explain more.

"We each cover a different section, we each work for a different thing. That is not my riddle, that is is not my game. There will be many games, there will be many riddles. We each have our own, that's at each different stage and level. We don't each know each answer or riddles of each other, to avoid information being leaked, or for one of us being ousted, and too much information being leaked out. Think of it as a game, a video game - you go from one level to the next and to the next. The challenges change. The difficulty rises. The code is the last step of the first level. There are more levels that follow. And I'm just a game master of a different level."

Brian wants concrete proof. Could all be just talk thus far.

The man offers a necklace to Brian, as some of the former members have been executed. He mentions what happened to Richard Dark, and offers an audio message. He leaves the room to retrieve it.

Brian is left to be entertained with Wukong and Banshee. Chat on his 4/20 hair. They hand him some joints.

Dwayne comes back and plays previews of 4 audio files.

Yeah it sounds like Dark getting tortured. So what's your angle? Save Dan?

Dwayne says he likes Dan, just doesn't like his accent/dialect. So: start a relationship with Brian, save Dan, and topple the Order.

Brian says he will assist. Dan needs saved. Dwayne says the identity of one member is a doctor at Pillbox - and it's not Agnes. At the meetings, there is a female and male doctor. For a list of the doctors, Brian wants to ensure Dan is safe. The bounty extends past this room, remember. What's your actionable plan for Dan?

If caught, Dan has the chance to pay 50k along with an apology and swear to forget the events proceeding to keep his life - and then he would be put on the "Watchers" list to forever be monitored. Same watchers from dark web, Illuminati and dark web orders mix. Illuminati makes investments, and the dark web was one. It is in a sense a partnership between the two.

Brian inquires about Illuminati's connection with Talon. Don't know much, probably a supplier of arms or finances or such. Dwayne does not directly interact with Talon at this moment.

Dwayne indicates he knows of Snow's poking into the dark web and his quite active status.

Back again to Dan. Why do you believe him? At the time, Dwayne replies, he didn't initially. But then Dan mentioned that Dwayne himself was involved - relating to a slip up on Illuminati's end. Also catches Illuminati's attention and puts a spotlight on Dan.

Dwayne requests weekly updates with Brian. He offers information on the Illuminati and the taco shop in return for the immunity and maintaining the secrecy of those masked people working under and with him. Brian says he cannot guarantee the prosecution charges dropped, but won't hunt or seek to identify them.

311 call comes in from Judge Holden, it's a well being check for the officer with a PD Taurus just outside. "shady people guarding entrance and ppl coming in and out. that office is for use of public defenders and is not being used for that purpose".

Brian speaks aloud on the 311 call and the bad practices of Dwayne's troupe.

Another 311 from Holden: "that taurus has been parked there with office door guarded for 45 mins".

Really gotta move. Brian again mentions Dan. Dwayne says he'll pay forward. One more thing he says, a member in the Order armed with c4.

Brian says he'll take care of Judge Holden. He radios back to disregard the situation.

Real quick, hint for dark web? Dwayne says Holy Trinity - they'll find you.

Brian makes his way out of the building and calls back into duty. Dwayne will email him the video files he played earlier.

Copperpot calls soon after Brian leaves. She wants to know 'just what the fuck he did in there'. She says she's at the construction site by the therapist's office. "You piece of fucking shit".

Shooting by offices. One woman in black is seen on the ground, another in cuffs. One guy downed. Another guy cuffed by Brian. Nettie starts shooting at Brian. Brian uncuffs the woman in black and tells her to run. Brian questions the name of one of the men. The woman in black, the one who was cuffed, hangs around nearby, and Brian tells her to grab her buddy and leave. She does so, quietly. Brian ensures the men are still cuffed. Their names: Louis Baton and Temuthy Clackus. A man with a helmet is seen across the street holding a large camera. Brian jogs across and asks him to identify himself. No answer. Cuffed. "Hello." It's David Watcher. He says he witnessed Brian "shooting people". Brian reads his rights then GSR tests: negative. David says he was "simply watching". Los Santos on fucking fire today.

Brian sees Dwayne and runs to him: "you and I need to talk, asap." Who are these people, some of your people are dead, anyone overheard? Dwayne says Doug may be in danger. One of the watchers if fucking across the street. Silence then dark laughter from Dwayne. "God dammit, alright. Not much we can do right now. We'll have to talk later."

Runs back to David. Frisk, large bulge. Vintage pistol. Nice camera, Nikea NP1000. Given to him, he says. Brian tells him to call him later, gives his number, and takes the roll of film from the camera of the shooting.

Call to EMS. The watcher is still watching. Brian tells him directly to leave.

EMS is currently all held up in another location. Back to the two men in cuffs. They tell him the woman shot at them first. Brian searches them then takes them to Pillbox himself as EMS and cops are both short-staffed.

So, Nettie. Lana. And what's Copperpot's involvement?

Brian gives his number to one of the men in Pillbox.

Brian says he was in a hypnotherapy session to EMT Bailey. She says Nettie is hypnotized and is shooting people she's friends with. Brian tells Bailey not to talk again on it in public or to Nettie and to call him later - for her sake and Nettie's. Brian ensures the two men who were downed earlier have his number and instructions to call him later.

Clarence questions why Brian didn't respond to the 10-13 alerts. Well, shit's going down.

Brian informs Dwayne he let his compatriots get away. He appreciates it. Stacy, Nettie, Lana confirmed.

Brian and Copperpot discuss in the car. Brian wants info. Copperpot says someone has a lot of shit recorded in that conversation - herself. She took a boom mike and could hear Brian and Dwayne talking. She got into the building?!?! She dressed like Lana, distracted them, acted like security. She gonna die!!! Brian's impressed. "Do you know what you're fucking with right now, Copperpot?! I don't think you know what you're dealing with right now! What the fuck are you doing? Do you realize how fucking dangerous this is?!"

She's got someone she cares about held hostage. Brian says he's got some more information on his own, and that she's just casually recording shit. What's up with Nettie? And wait, you work for Steele, a known murderer!!

Brian stops the car on a hill and they get out. Bit more calm now. Copperpot says Garage Q is in some sort of alliance. Stipulations were made with Prune Gang, they get Nettie. She starts acting weird and doing bigger stuff than petty crime. She says people get weird after talking to the therapist Thomas Dwayne. Wait just a bit, I need proof you recorded earlier. Brian waits for her to get the footage ready. She shows it. Holy fuck. But it's just part of the end, at least this snippet. Is this in a safe place? Won't tell. Dan infuriates her.

She wants to give the long story of Nettie. Dwayne hypnotizes people basically. Mel has trigger sleeper words for Nettie. Garage Q people stalking Dwayne. Apparently he's got people of his own in the Garage Q worklist. More talk on undoing the hypnotism. So anyway, she and some Garage Q people kidnapped Lana when Brian was inside talking to Dwayne and she snuck in to record. She confirms the two men in that shooting after started the shooting. Tenafy(?) and Liu(?). She says she doesn't give a shit beyond saving Nettie, and wants to know how to do so.

"Don't fuck with those people, first off," says Brian. She wants to know why. What did you hear? Absolutely not. No trust here between Brian and Copperpot. She doesn't realize the rabbithole she's in. They each think they know more than the other.

Two choices: let her deal with her consequences, or help her out. Nettie is outside this decision. So why did you mention Dan? What, I didn't mention Dan? Ah.

Brian 'gives' in. Doesn't seem like she has the important parts of the meeting recorded. She won't tell Brian anything but wants to do a "we" plan. More back and forth. Can they even work together? SHOULD they even work together? Fuck she's dangerous.

Before dropping her off at Garage Q, Brian gives her a serious warning that she better be careful.

While recollecting his thoughts, Brian remembers that Dan once told him he 'avoided death' by Carl Crimes by mentioning he works for the dark web. Perhaps this is what Dwyane is referring, did Dan save his life for that day only to later be the recipient of a massive hit? Why this decision, is this it or is it something else?

Who is Dwayne, really? How deep does he go? What's this hypnotizing thing? Possibly an alternative agenda? Story of Dan, they were trying to kill him and now they want to save him? And now they've brought Brian into the mix, why exactly?

Brian later reads some of Dan's old messages. Brian vaguely explains the Garage Q shooting to Fawkes. He cannot tell much more as Fawkes would need clearance.

Dan and Brian meet. Brian tells Dan he's in some serious trouble and he wants some recap. Dan replies he and Carl used to be good friends and they knew something fishy was going on at the taco shop. They each pick up a job there and find out the bags smell a bit like marijuana. Extra sauce, rolls of money, one of the SBS group made 100k in one day, the hell, lockers. Enter Dwayne. Noticed he was followed one day, indications point to Carl. Confronted Carl next day, who was very insistent Dan work at the taco shop that day. Dan threatened Carl at gunpoint and cuffed him near the mountains Great Ocean highway, Carl says he was just keeping tabs on his employees. Dan's worried that Brian knows this now.

Reasonably so. Next day at rap battle, wait Dan's callsign is 777? That's interesting, that's what Mel said at the Illuminati guy meeting. Dan says they said they had to search his phone, shot 3 times, Soze said Mel and Carl did it. Memory is hazy for Dan. Bike in southside, green lambo, mining area, MRPD steps. THEN the rap battle. Maze Bank Arena, Carl and Dwayne took Dan. Brian asks why Dan brought up the dark web stuff in front of both Carl and Dwayne together. Life in danger, had to make up something. Dwayne's tone changes: they choose not to look through Dan's phone and say they will have a mission for him later. Brian returns to Dan's reasoning behind making the dark web argument. Random bluff, replies Dan. Enter paper factory. Was given a mission to kill a cop. Rhodes then told Dan that Dark was hurt pretty badly. Must be Carl, thinks Dan. Mission was to go after any cop, Dan thinks maybe he was supposed to go after Dark. But there's no evidence for a connection, just eerily similar.

What do you know about Thomas Dwayne? Brian asks. Hypnotherapist, he can instill trigger words in people to enact certain actions. Dangerous if so. He's shown Dan a medallion, which he loves to show to people but there's a curse to it. Also says he can help people. Dwayne and Carl relationship length and depth unknown.

Prune Gang - what about Mel and Dwayne? Friends, maybe, says Dan.

Garage Q, Copperpot, Dan says is very protective of Nettie and runs Q. Dan mentions underground garage: few minutes in a meeting. Dan thinks Copperpot will highly likely die for Nettie. Bipolar like personality.

Brian recommends Dan keep his head down again, stay at DOC, and to keep some form of law enforcement around him at all times. But I'm a knight, I refuse to back down! Yeah, not a good idea anymore, can't say why though...

CI Tyrone drops info: weaponry current market some prices. Devon Miller dead, son, found with rat mask, dumped outside of PD. Agnes into some shit. Stacy a crazy bitch, also a drug addict. She hangs out with "Blowjob Betty". Brian offers more incentive for information on Stacy; she's in Dwayne's group - and of current high interest to Brian.

Some days later, Brian requests a conversation with Carl Crimes. He says he's in the plum gang. Apparently Thomas Dwayne has been missing for a few days - Brian says time to talk in a driving car. Brian says he might know what happened to Dwayne. Carl says he and some others from the taco shop thought Dan was possibly a snake - he talks some more, and his story matches what Dan told Brian earlier. Carl then says he and Dan are chill now. Brian tells Carl what he knows, effectively showing some of his hand, and helps him in fighting his warrant. Brian says he thinks Dwayne was trying to play Brian - a dangerous game. Probably got too deep, same as Dan. Brian warns of this dangerous shit - be careful digging. Carl seems to think the highest group is Talon. Cute. Brian keeps talking on the "bigger shit" - the unnamed groups. Brian requests Carl tell him if any new news comes of Dwayne.

Brian tells Stranger of Thomas Dwayne - a very ambitious man. He allured to a relationship between the dark web and Talon. And now he's missing - he probably dug too deep.

Some days later, Brian is questioned by Columbo on the night of that Illuminati meeting. Columbo wants to know what was going on. Brian gives a very quick overview of what went down during that night. Brian provides Columbo with the photographs he took.

Carl calls - he says that a few people contacted him to be an actor in a movie. When he went to film, they had him resemble Brian's appearance and the action was similar to Brian's meeting with Thomas Dwayne. He went through with it, so the movie will be out in a few days. Lines were pretty scripted, and there was talk on some guy "Stan". Movie seems to be centered around some guy in a mask...

Suddenly, Carl's voice increases in speed and he says he has a gun to his head near the taco shop. [Unfortunately Mehdi gets disconnected.]

Stonefinger, some days later, calls and tells of the name "The Narrator" - he came across it while investigating the dark web.

Stonefinger has been able to link the "Narrator's" name with the dark web. Brian questions the credibility of the source that led to this link. Stonefinger went to talk to Bovice [Redacted] about the contract placed on his life - while talking, he struck up a conversation with someone named Raphael, the latter giving him information on the Narrator. Now Brian wants to know some more details.

[Redacted] talked about society, the order, and gave the name of Carl Crimes when Stonefinger mentioned the trinity puzzle of the dark web. Carl was very evasive in his responses. Stonefinger has since spoken to Raphael again, and was told to mention the Reverend on Twatter: then, the Reverend should reach out. Has not happened yet. Next person to try to contact is the Narrator, or Thomas Dwayne, says Rafael to Stonefinger, who also gets a number he can call.

Brian tells Stonefinger that he knows not much more, and that Dwayne is certainly involved in the dark web. This guy of high interest. However, he hasn't been seen in a while... Possibly posing as a Bondi under a new identity.

Hell, dark web has gotten quiet...

Some weeks later, Choi and Stonefinger reach out to Brian to talk on "urgent matters". Brian finds some time to meet.

It's about Garage Q. [Refer T and Q in Shorts] Things are heating up: Choi and others no longer feel safe. She enlisted some "help," yet also wishes to bring Brian into the fray. Choi now brings up the report on Alexa, from a few days prior. It's also Flop, and more of her "extended family" being targeted. Choi and Stonefinger wish for Brian to speak to "somebody" who wants to maintain a hidden identity. Choi suggests Brian keeps an open mind. She pulls her phone out of her pocket and messages the person. She reiterates that she and her friends need help, and all she asks is that Brian listen. She seems vulnerable. Choi excuses herself to the other side of the room.

Do you know about this? Brian asks Stonefinger. He's been in for about a week and says he and Brian need to one on one talk after this meeting.

In approaches Thomas Dwayne, in a long black coat, black pants, and red tie. Brain and Dwayne make a few remarks on some past times they've interacted: Dwayne remembers quite some details. It's been 3 months, Dwayne says, since he last saw Brian "as Thomas." He then dips into an Australian accent, referring to once when he stood beside Brian at the taco shop under a different identity.

"Are you the fucking Highwayman?" Brian interjects. Oh god no! They chuckle. Dwayne pauses for an opportunity for Brian to ask questions.

"Where do you fit in this picture, Garage Q? And the 'other thing'." Dwayne answers that both Choi and Stonefinger are in the know: the Illuminati. Brain inquires if Cross was ever involved. The other one is an EMT rather. Wtf.

Now it's time for them to ask for help. Dwayne praises Brian, who simply just reminds them he is not off-duty right now. A 10-13 call which Brian ignores for priority sake. Dwayne says the dark web has gone quiet as of late: the key person has disappeared. VPNs were sold for a while then across the city. There was also a deal with the owner of Bean Machine(???), the woman who wears gloves and Jack (Bilford?) on agreement - it fell through as supply didn't come in. In the absence, there was a struggle of power between the higher members of the Illuminati; those who support the SS gangs and those who did not. The latter group comprised of Dwayne, Choi, and a few others. In response to this internal struggle, Dwayne began to recruit as many watchers from the DW as he could. One of these is Tobi Argent, a supplier of some of the best information. Brian doesn't give indication he's spoken to Tobi, and they talk on Tobi's fear.

So what's up with Garage Q? Members who subscribe have been harassing people across the entire city - people who work for Dwayne have been affected. Watchers, planters, hypnosis patients, etc. Are these attacks targeted, or are they perhaps circumstance?

Choi jumps in, she claims she's being targeted as well as the other people under Dwayne - initially, it was due to their visible connection to Choi. Copperpot: Brian says he spoke with her and she was just smoking air. Dwayne says nah, she knows a lot. What became of the three women, Lana, Stacy, and Betty? Lana killed Bo - ties cut. Stacy has laid low. Betty seems to have some allegiance to Garage Q - ties are being cut.

Garage Q was supposed to be training grounds. People recently recruited want justice from the PD. Brian says he trusts his brothers in blue, to a degree. Dwayne warns to not trust a good number of them. Hang on, let's circle back to this idea of a training ground. Those people who have joined are a dangerous lot, and others not so much, more information gatherers. So the garage was meant to vet individuals. Hypnotism? No, say Dwayne: the hypnosis was not meant to take over Garage Q. The purpose of Q was to see how much people trusted Stonefinger, says Dwayne. Testing grounds for information and who/where it gets shared.

Explain recruitment. Dwayne describes his relationship with Stonefinger; after meeting a few times for business and sharing information on investigations (such as the Smileys for Dwayne), he invited Stonefinger into his fray.

Dwayne mentions some investigative notes on the Smileys he's determined along with Stonefinger: they're mostly not violent, they're scared. [Refer Vampire / Smileys Arc] Judge Stanton. Tessa. Etc. They're all accepted Kenneth Jesperson's pin to protect them from others. Wait a second, Stanton is a Smiley? Yes, replies Dwayne. Who else?! 38 people in total, roughly. Only 5 are violent. Members mostly just want protection. After they subscribe, they start to receive calls...from Scarecrows - Mr. Smiley's inner circle members. They're given missions to gather information on other people.

Were you at a meeting on a pier with Mr. Smiley about a month ago? No, but Flop may have; he was investigating them then as the group were harassing his friend Sydney. At this, Dwayne's voice grows even more raspy and he covers his throat, taking a drink of water. The Smileys were attempting to get her to join. Dangerous Smileys listed by Dwayne: Kenneth Jesperson, Petunia, Gemma Knight, and August. Choi chimes in that August is a "fucking psycho." Also, Tobi, who is one of the Scarecrows.

QF connection? Well, sorta. QF is interested in Tobi due to his former relationship with Jordan Sparks, a man who had information on QF and who passed along this information to Tobi. QF is a secret assassin order. Adriane West once sought to hire The Narrator, for the Chaos package. Then, she wanted to back out: Boudini, QF and HOA dude, was there at the time. Him and Adriane took Dwayne out to the sea on a boat, held at gunpoint. They spoke and asked multiple questions. At one point, Dwayne saw a chance to jump into the water and took it. Dwayne was hunted for a while thereafter, and QF seemed to have an interest in him. The hunt suddenly stopped, yet they seemed quite an assassins group.

What do you know about Kylie Winters? Dwayne says he was informed Gemma Knight took over after the vampire. Chastity Dawes doesn't seem to be in contact recently - one of her last tweets seemed to allure to the Smileys group. What else do you know about QF? Barely anything, answers Dwayne, they're next on my investigation list. Choi is visibly agitated per talking on QF. Summer Mersion seems invovled...as well as a few others.

Back to the Smileys. Flop was looking into them, was hit over the head one day, an indication it was Mr. Smiley, then calls of harassment from Mr. Smiley. Flop approached Dwayne for help: Dwayne accepted and started up his investigation.

Dwayne is also looking into Tiger. What Dwayne knows, is that everyone he has talked to has been too scared to speak on the name. Jacklyn May name is confirmed between Brian and Dwayne for Tiger's identity. What is her relationship? Is QF going after the Smileys and Scarecrows? Are Tiger's assassins separate? Kenneth Jesperson is Mr. Smiley. Dwayne talks a bit on Mr. Smiley. Gemma Knight seems to be the brains of it all, and Jacklyn works in tandem, says Dwayne. Chastity won't meet with either Dwayne or Stonefinger. Somehow all tied together, and chasing each other, "like a snake eating its own tail."

Circle back to Q garage. The situation is escalating. Dwayne has fought back, yet they keep standing back up. Regards the target outlook toward Choi and her friends. Q wants T, but Choi isn't selling. Let's recap everything says Dwayne, oh god it hurts to type... Q attacked Alexa/Alex Caldwell, a plant in Q to obtain info on serial killers of Q. Attacker believed to be Apples - but turned out to really be Louis Baton, former lot manager for Q. Louis stabbed Alex and sanded her in the Ricky ritual. Choi says Bryce also underwent the sanding treatment, among others. Louis and his step-sister Petunia are stabbers and extremist Rickys. So is Apples and Copperpot and Freesh and possibly Steele and possibly Soloman and box Ricky. Has this extended outside of the garage situation and Alex/Alexa? No. Although, they've also hit Claire, who's not affiliated with Choi. They'll hit anyone who provides the opportunity to deliver a message. Tanner also a Ricky, but he just films. These videos on Twatter have evidence, are evidence. Videos shared with Lauren weeks ago - Dwayne says Lauren is definitely not one to trust. She's hot headed and self-absorbed with no interest in doing anything correct. She openly held a conversation with Flop in a place it was dangerous to talk on multiple topics: this put Flop's life in grave danger. Lack of regard for the lives of CIs. She hasn't done anything with the evidence and investigative leads she was given. Brian inquires why the resentment towards Lauren - what were the missed expectations? They wanted a working relationship that's not one-sided. Dwayne says he's never met personally with Lauren, but she's never bit on any of the carrots Dwayne has set.

What about Talon? [Refer Talon Arc] Dwayne and Choi state that although they seem to share the same vision here, the actions of Talon do not match the words they say. Dwayne had plans to contact them and investigate Talon, and knows some people have working ties with the terrorist group. Talon was discussed in the last Illuminati Council meeting group - Dwayne had made a suggestion to cut ties with Talon and the power struggle mentioned earlier entered.

Windsong is a part of the Order. A man named Bedlam(?) in the Order caught wind that Dwayne was attempting to figure out the identities of the secret few at Pillbox - this lead to Dwayne and Choi being kidnapped, tortured, burned, and a nail driven into his left shoulder. While imprisoned, talk was overheard of a potential compromise. Choi was taken to another room while Dwayne was left to listen to her torture. Same people who went after Dark? Their masters, replies Dwayne. Dark's chest had engraved "LF" - it was assumed to be a threat to Lauren Forcer. Dark, Baas, and Dwayne's tortures all had similarities: burns, nails, knife, etc. Choi is visibly uncomfortable and swallows hard, harms crossed in front of her. Seems like a copier, says Dwayne.

"Brian, I have been watching you. I have been watching your son. I know the things the two of you have gone through have been hard." Dwayne changes the subject. Chang has also thrown Choi off a building, and CG were responsible for her and Flop's pain and grief. Dwayne proposes a pseudo-alliance: he'll provide any and all information he can get Brian in return for Brian to investigate CG more closely. What a shift from the last conversation with Dwayne. CG has hurt so many people and things have changed for the much worse, they say. What more can Brian do, exactly? With our current justice system, we cannot stop them completely. Dwayne responds with a question to Brian on how he could keep the criminals off the streets for a longer time. One answer is to catch them red-handed. Choi's not happy, she says the PD had their chance: they missed out on a blatant kidnapping. The PD has failed, is failing. How to move on, how to change? Dwayne waits for an answer from Brian.

Brian says he and Dan have certainly been through a lot. How to react? We need some heavy dirt, something big. Dwayne requests Brian take off his glasses - "When you look at yourself in the mirror, what's the first thought you have?" Brian sighs, "what I'm going to do...hard to say really...testament to what I've been through and what others themselves may go through. It gets me focused, gives me direction. Serves as a reminder of what could happen, if myself and others under me aren't vigilant."

Dwayne warns of trust, and that Brian couldn't protect his son. The dirt is easy. The hard part is the cycle: they go in for the 9s, then get busted out.

Brian says the city is corrupt, it attracts the individuals who seek external gain - at the end of the day, our justice system is not necessarily to correct, but to momentarily suppress those who wish to do harm, whether to other individuals or the financial system. It may not be to the extent Dwayne wants, but it does still suppress. Any propositions in mind? Brian asks Dwayne.

Brian has a legal position and duties he must uphold. But there is an avenue: we can dismantle them by dismantling the pieces that keep them afloat. An organization like CG's is kept alive by deep-rooted connections: supplies and intel come from somewhere. Choi finds this a good time to bring up Sayid Mitra - this guy wants to choke out the gun supply by buying up VGs. Apparently he was very persistent. Interesting. Valuable goods...wonder what these are. Who's Mitra? Guy who runs Life Invader. Dwayne offers to seek info on these VGs. Choi reads aloud a message about VGs and gold bars.

Could go about it logically, says Brian. Can take down one of these inputs and see what happens. Dwayne says he took the oxy down once. The issue is CG's alliances and levels of respect in the city. Need to rid LS of Eastside and Vagos at the very least. Then GSF. Oh hell, just take out the entire southside of the city while we're at it. Seems a tad difficult. Could do full on investigation: Doug Canada, says Brian. Doug used to manage the taco shop and the comedy club - he worked in the shift the LB controlled at the taco shop. Doug was replaced by Fiona. Wayne runs the shop at night. Wayne is connected to CG. Obviously who runs it knows the illegal shit going on. Doug however was caught slipping and is now burned from doing a lot of business. Managers continue to cycle through in the taco shop, all aware of what's really going on. So there are quite a few people before they could hit CG. What if we hit this from two sides? We work on the intel, and somehow, just somehow, another group is aware...and then maybe there's an explosion... there goes some money and quite a bit of work. Sure, could lose some taco shop sale rep, but the hit wouldn't be too substantial. The thing is that there need to be consistent consecutive hits and thus losses. And do this on multiple angles. Perhaps the taco shop isn't the best place to target. It's a key place for money for CG, says Dwayne. Their heists can be another key part.

Dwayne propositions to Brian again to join in their endeavor. Brian verbally agrees, and says he can bring in a few other officers to a small extent and with limited knowledge to help. Brian says pencil his name in. Dwayne offers information on Q to Brian. Dwayne also says there are 43 members in LS, separate from the Order and the DW, in his group. "Imagine someone crosses the wrong people, there's a call and that person needs to be found - maybe they're in a car accident or maybe they get in a shootout with you Brian and the EMS comes and picks them up and begins to make it back to Pillbox, but suddenly there's another call - and for some reason, that person never makes it back to Pillbox." Brian understands what is being said here. Dwayne provides another warning: the LB consider Dan the biggest snake around; they've hired people to get Dan. Price was at 20k, then hopped to 40k. So perhaps watch out for Dan: he's on quite a few hit lists...

Dwayne says after tomorrow, he will return back to the shadows, as Zach(?), Marcus, Hank, Rick, or Eric... How to know it's you? Code words: "looking real prime" to recognize him. The four peacefully part.

Stonefinger calls Brian - he says to not go to the meeting before speaking with him first.

The next day, Brian meets in a remote location with Stonefinger to hear what he has to say - the reporter says a good amount of what was said last night was new information to him. He sees a few red flags: the attitude towards Forcer was a deep cut. There's also something in the relationship with Choi and Dwayne that's not right...she's fuzzy on some details when asked to recall, and the fuzziness relates to Dwayne. Stonefinger felt he wanted to let Brian know. I don't know this guy, says Brian - I don't know his end goal.

Stonefinger says he's made some secret connections in the shadows - Chastity Dawes being one of them. She's been feeding him information to give to the PD. Mikey Rivers.

Mr. Smiley has also reached out to Stonefinger. The man appears to be trying to normalize himself. Though looks like Neo from the Matrix. The original Scarecrow.

Stonefinger is a prospect in the Illuminati - the lowest tier. His specialty is currently acquiring information. Brian wants evidence of the Illuminati's abilities. The plan discussed yesterday is good, but it's dangerous - we need proof that this group can actually pull weight more than just gathering information. We need to see some action first due to the amount of risk that would be taken. Stonefinger reiterates his skepticism, saying he's cautiously optimistic. Talk on the Narrator's hypnotism and who might be affected. Also Nettie: Jordan, Q. Investigation of affiliates, yet their memories / actions may be warped due to possible hypnotism. Garage Q and CG are both strong enemies of Choi...odd. Brian has to get back to work, yet he and Stonefinger retain their skepticism of the Illuminati and the Narrator with Stonefinger saying he'll keep Brian updated.

Choi messages Brian to meet at the house they were at last. The officer finds the location and walks in through the unlocked door. Inside, Brian pauses for a moment around a corner as he hears Choi's and Dwayne's voice. Then he makes his way down to where they're speaking. As he walks towards an open door, the two are seen embracing and act suprised when they recognize Brian. Dwayne explains that he was thanking Choi for a murder kitty earlier...

Anyway, Brian explains his day as "boring" and then Dwayne requests radio silence. Dwayne wants to know who the kidnapping was by - the LB, says Brian, Eugene, Ellie, Buddha, and Dumbass. Dwayne apologizes for the wait. No worries. There's a knock on the door and Choi runs off. Now Dwayne asks about Dan; heard he was in the ICU and was pretty injured. Brian says that's not what he knows. Perhaps I was mistaken and that was you, says Dwayne. Well I was thrown out a heli, says Brian.

The door is stuck so Brian heads to the front of the house to open it. It's a man in all black with a mask. Brian accidently drops him in a black hole [scuff]. A few minutes later, Stonefinger arrives.

Dwayne starts, "I know we wanted to reconvene earlier and talk about things, and allow you to sit on our previous proposition--" Knock knock knock. [Scuff that will not allow him to enter house so they just leave him there.] Brian asks for action, he wants to see some proof this group can do what they say they can - details unnecessary, just need the results. He's confirmed most of the information that Dwayne has provided, and can thus assume with high likelihood the entirety is also true, yet needs some confirmation. Dwayne: I think that's the idea, that you haven't seen anything else. If I did anything you could see, as you want, it would be sloppy - other people could also pick up on it then. For instance, the only way to know something happened would be if it were told; the methods would be too revealing to display. Brian and Dwayne consider how to approach Brian's ask. Choi pulls her phone out and looks uneasy at what she sees. She replaces her phone back into her pocket and her fingers twitch.

A 10-13A is overheard on the PD radio. Dwayne and Choi move to the other end of the room to speak privately ("word with Choi") and to allow Brian a chance to listen to his radio. Stonefinger and Brian take the opportunity to discuss - the former says he thinks Brian and Dwayne are saying the same thing in different ways. They talk some more.

Dwayne returns with Choi and says he has a few ideas. The result is what matters, that's the evidence in itself. Dwayne agrees, this works for him. Yet, he is meticulous and slow. Brian agrees, this works for him. Choi again pulls out her phone, takes a glance, then runs off.

Now Dwayne moves the subject to the events that happened to Brian earlier [Refer kidnapping by LB in Punisher Arc] and says he understands there may be reason for concern. The man from earlier, the one with the black outfit and mask, now returns with Choi. He removes his mask: it's Carl. Dwayne says he'll let Brian know when he has a specific plan set. Any questions? Brian says no. Dwayne is surprised, saying that seems unlike him and also Brian seems quite reserved today... Brian says the questions from the first meeting were in assessment.

Brian asks about Raphael Kristof [Refer Raphael Short] - strange man, some beliefs of a god, in prison, replies Dwayne. Any idea where he gets his c4? Brian also gives the description of the man: fur coat, beard, eyepatch, Irish accent. Dwayne says he may know the guy, but refuses to give any names; he wants to know Brian's intent now. Explanation given that he likes to understand things and only place individuals who pose a significant threat behind bars. Let's look at access to c4. Dwayne talks on Raphael. The HOA has a connection with the man describes as crazy.

The Narrator excuses himself for a moment, taking Carl with him, and Brian takes the chance to ask Choi how she's doing. She complains about Twitter[chat]/Twatter. Dwayne and Carl return, then leave again, then return again. The HOA is a good starting point. Dwayne strikes a deal: the information Brian wants here plus other information in exchange for Brian joining. Brian says ok, and doesn't divulge the reason why he asked. Show of power still needed though. They verbally acknowledge the current impasse.

Some days later, Brian tells Snow about this group who identifies as Illuminati. Snow trusts Brian's judgement and says to reach out if anything. Brian gives one thread now though: Stanton is a Smiley - a group which is not all serial killers in actuality. Brian talks more on Smileys/Scarecrows/Mr. Smiley. Snow says to keep him informed should Brian see fit with this, and that's he's available should Brian need.

A few days pass, then Brian makes a visit to Pillbox following a call to a jewelry store robbery. There, while Brian stands near the bed of one of the 95s, Choi mentions that Brian "is looking real prime today". At Mission Row, Brian writes the charges for a different 95, Lucille Hellman.

Chips in Pillbox for overdose, Steele has meth? Choi alludes to a change in drug traffic for Q coming soon...

A few days go by and then Dwayne calls; he takes claim for the Lost MC actions against Q as of late. They will chat later.

Weeks later, Forcer calls Brian with some info she just learned. She was led on a path to a USB which contains a list of names of members in the Illuminati. Forcer and Brian definitely need to link up; she thought all those weeks ago Brian was trying to kill her. Oh and Brian's name is on the list, not to worry about that, we can explain. Now she says the Reverend is following her leaving notes "We are watching," and she starts to cry.

They meet at MRPD. Brian begins by explaining why he had kept Forcer out of the full loop he had on the Illuminati. She's a bit miffed at not being included. He follows by giving a brief recap on both the Illuminati and the dark web investigation work he did months ago. Actually not really, she interrupts and says she knows about what Brian did with Dan before the latter became a part of the PD. Forcer remarks on Richard Dark's torture way back when. Phone call, recap from Brian will have to wait for now.

Brian meets with Forcer and gives part of the recap he tried to earlier. She speaks on events back from May: Dan, Thomas and Carl, Dark, some crazy notes and phone calls, etc. Choi, Thomas, Stonefinger, etc. As Lauren and Brian leave MRPD, a black car is seen nearby.

[Crossover with Dark Web and Smileys/Chastity.]

Brian and Forcer go undercover and meet with David. He says he recently was legal representation for Joshua Wade - earlier that day Wade was still in the hospital. David had figured Joshua and Chastity were good friends, yet it seems Chastity was the one that led to his ICU. He knows "quite a bit" on Wade. David also met someone else, Tobi Argent. He takes a few steps back due to concern that Forcer will punch him, as she apparently did the last time he spoke on Tobi. Joshua seems to think something has happened to Tobi - yet, he refuses to give further information to David.

"Is that why you're really here?" Brian questions. "No, it isn't," is the reply from David, "I can give you..." he visibly appears more comfortable as Forcer excuses herself back to their vehicles so David and Brian could talk together.

"Take it the dark web is starting to bloom again?" "Mm, it is." "Why?" "We normally operate in the background and it has recently come to my attention that there is something else trying to be us(?). Have you heard of the Board?" "The Board? The Illuminati?" Unknown if connected, but David learned through Tobi there is some form of a "Board". So David called out this Board on Twitter, which led to a PN call. Tobi himself spoke initially of the Board, and all that he has shared with David is that someone with the last name of "Prince" runs it. So perhaps this is why the Watchers have returned from the shadows? "We've recently accepted 2 new participants - apparently one is the sweetest woman you'll ever meet." Brian confirms the Watchers are a part of the DW but not representative of its entirety, yet David gives a slight clarification: "One cannot operate without the other".

"Where does Thomas fit into all of this? He claims to be heavily involved, yet I've seen no sign of this." David says Thomas may be all talk. Brian does not have much information to give regarding this Board reference - it's very similar to another group but not DW. David remarks his Twitter post to learn about the Board was not an intelligent move as it gave away his identity a bit in a sense.

The reason he is here is because of Chastity Dawes - he has what he believes is the "nail in the coffin". It's a sensitive topic for Lauren, this talk on Chastity.

Brian mentions the Reverend and learns that David has some "unresolved issues" with the man. Brian gives intel that the Reverend stabbed a government employee that morning - he really doesn't like being watched. The funny thing about religion, it's sometimes simply a means to an end... An Adam Prince tweets and David wonders if this is the Prince he seeks. It's possible. Brian calls Forcer back so she can learn what David has concerning Chastity.

Forcer and Brian sidebar while David answers a PN call. The "Board" may pull from the the Illuminati group; Forcer confirms this idea on the right track with what she found earlier on the member list for Illuminati. There were crates to/from Rome, Forcer says.

David returns, his phone call concluded. The identity of the camera man was confirmed to David by two different reliable sources: the name wouldn't hold up in court but there is evidence of which he sends to Forcer.

Per the Illuminati, Forcer gives an inscription to Brian - it's in Latin. It was found on one of the doors she looked at along with an eagle. Quick Gurgle, "Give the government shut eye". Taking the automatic translation into account, the actual translation could be some similar version, like "Close the eyes of the government". Forcer lists out a few places bodies keep being found.

It's interesting, the exact relationship of the watchers and those who run the dark web. The watchers are a pathway to dark web access, but it still isn't exactly evident the organization. Upon mention of the Reverend, David expressed there was a disconnect there. Might be a small disagreement, but interesting nevertheless... Brian figures the watchers of the DW and the Illuminati/Board are maybe at odds. Thomas is a link, a focal person for the Illuminati who also describes himself as heavily involved in the DW. It could be that Thomas in all actuality did not have that deep-seated association he so claimed.

The DW offers drugs, weapons, hit lists, contracts, etc. Unfortunately, the PD lost the VPNs needed to access the DW months ago. Forcer explains why she didn't accept the VPNs from Jacob during Brian's birthday party months ago. Brian senses there's more to Jacob than him just running Digital Den...

A vehicle pulls up alongside Brian and Forcer then quickly drives away. David calls Brian - "I need your help with something. It has come to my attention that someone in the city is hoarding VPNs and I would like them back." This someone is vulturing them off watchers and David wants them back. It's the ESB. Really. Brian requests photographs of the ESB moving in and out of ESB properties with illegal weapons so the PD can initiate a raid and allow Brian to extract the VPNs. The fuck are the ESB/Tyrone collecting VPNs? Eugene and Buddha each carry a VPN; there was a LB/ESB war very recently.

Brian updates Snow on the situation with Jasper, the DW, and Illuminati. Brian brings up the dangerous curiosity of others not involved in investigations.

Brian meets with Stonefinger and asks his opinion on Thomas and the Illuminati. He hasn't been too involved, the reporter replies, and the group has been mostly silent recently. Brian brings up their last infatuation with CG, and their mission. Seemed that stemmed from Choi being kidnapped and dropped off a building - thus the rush to strike back at CG. Stonefinger and Brian both are left out of these larger plans, even though Stonefinger is supposed to be the info guy. Although, there was some activity with a race track. Quite a few members aren't around all that much anymore, or are laying low. Brian says Choi knows more than she should, and this intel possibly comes from Dwayne. Stonefinger says he wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. There is something off about Dwayne...they share concern for Choi. She doesn't always give straight answers, and some parts of her recollection are a blur - very interesting. Something is definitely off with Choi and Dwayne's relationship.

Weeks pass. Brian is conducting a speed trap when a car flags his radar: it's Flop Dugong. Along with him in the car is Choi and Dwayne. They claim to be picking up (?) who was just kidnapped. He's only a few meters away, so Brian walks over to him, who says he was just hanging with some friends and Apples. Brian walks back to Flop's car, bills a fine of $500, then reminds them it's better to wait for PD than attempt to take measures in their own hands. Seems to be Lot Q related.

Later that day, Brian questions Choi about earlier, when he pulled over Flop. She says they were just going hiking. Anyway...haven't heard from Dwayne in a while.

While investigating for Jasper (refer "Satantic Rituals"), Brian tells Baas and Dan Choi is in the Illuminati.

[Refer Satanic, Chasity, DW] Brian and Baas interview Andi. She passes over a detailed document of her recording her interactions with Jasper. Andi says she can differentiate Jasper's voice from Joshua Wade's, and that there is a union of serial killers who all seem to look up to Chasity. A Thomas Dwayne also knows quite a bit, she's figured, and looks into these serial killers. Dwayne told Andi Jasper is dangerous and is known as the "cassette tape killer" - where he got that information, Andi does not know. Andi says Doctor Choi and Thomas Dwayne are close; included in their group is Flop Dugong, and maybe Bryce Miller and Izzy Carrington. When the Reverend, the chicken man, and Jasper started noticing her, Flop brought her to talk to Dwyane - but about Mr. Smiley. She met Mr. Smiley in the past, who seems close with Joshua Wade, who makes snuff films. She further says Jasper was a part of Chasity's group then later was himself hunted by Chasity's union. There was some laughter shared between Chasity and Jasper yesterday though so their current relationship is unknown. Brian and Baas recommend Andi stay low-key and stick with people she trusts. Chasity's killer union might have an agreement that Andi is off the table as a victim, but like that's trustable.

Brian and Baas discuss where they're at with the case. Andi has some more information. Gonna create two reports, one redacted.

Andi reviews her written notes: Dwayne and Choi and communication with Jasper. Similar as what she said before. Talk on serial killers. Talk on "consequences" vigilante group: Thomas Dwayne, Dr. Choi, Flop Dugong, Father Tanner, Bryce Miller, Isabella Carrington, Gemma Knight. There's like a video of the Consequences group hammering Mr. Smiley's mask to his face?

Months later, Flop tells about Dwayne's true colors. Apparently Dwayne also was the one to shoot Chasity. According to Flop the original intent of the Illuminati group was to work as an informant source for the PD yet as time progresses became more violent.

#### **[ARC] - EMT Bailey**

**Bailey Jade, a member of EMS, repeatedly finds herself kidnapped and not in a good place. Brian and Soze go undercover.**

Ray calls Brian to inform him EMT Bailey Jade is missing. Mentions Sybil's name.
Activity of this dude kidnapping Sybil and dumping her body has been ongoing for months; Ziggy leads the investigation.

Some more calls. Apparently there are notes around leading to different locations. A potential serial killer is following and texting from Bailey's phone while some other people goose hunt the locations. Dangerous guy currently watching. Brian and Soze get ready for undercover work. The undercover cops meet up with Sybil Shepard and Daisy Dukakis for the search.

They find Bailey's beaten body at the next location and take a chopper back to Pillbox.

PD debrief, more prior information. Also MDT report #1973. Name of Jack Deadwood - has kidnapped Bailey in the past, on March 7th.

Plan to get more information. Call from Pillbox, apparently Bailey had to have her stomach pumped as a chemical agent was found in her mouth.

Brian and Mac interview Ray under recording. Eythan Warthhog picked him up from Brian's birthday party - he received a text from Sybil about someone missing...eventually she says it's Bailey. A call from Mickey Rivers, who has been undergoing therapy - Ray updated him on Bailey's situation. Apparently Sybil, Daisy, and Bailey are good friends. Ray didn't know of her previous kidnaps.

Bailey's report from Pillbox, official one to come soon.

Brian and Mac interview the trio Kyle Rogain (EMT), Daisy Dukakis, and Sybil Shepard about Bailey's kidnapping event. Kyle and Sybil only knew of this kidnapping today. They don't have an idea for potential suspects. 6 notes today. Daisy says juice stand is a common location. Kidnapper takes Daisy's phone, calls Daisy, and doesn't speak - also pings Daisy. Clues/notes geared towards Bailey's knowledge. Shit, shootout, will return to this later.

Brian updates Ziggy on Bailey's recent kidnapping.

Brian meets with Copper, Snow, and Rhodes. He tells of the latest on Bailey's situation and that apparently the next time may very well be her last.

Some days later, EMT Bailey taken again. Brian checks the note spot - no note, so less of a possibility the serial killer was the one to pick her up...but still high priority.

**A Molotov is thrown into a crowd at a wrestling event: someone dies and another enters the ICU. A hunt for someone with footage ensues, and Chang later finds himself in a court case.**

#### **[ARC] - Fulcrum's Force**

**An unknown reaches out to Brian to give a taste of Fulcrum.**

Brian gets a phone call from a private number: "Hello, Officer Knight. We are Fulcrum. We have been watching, and we have deemed you a just and trusted officer of the law. This city is sick, and it needs help. The once mighty criminal underworld has fallen to ruin and it is time for them to be purged. Do not mistake us for righteous, Officer Knight. We are merely an effect of a sickness born of the fall of the criminals of this city. We will help you, Officer Knight. We have deemed you worthy to be part of Fulcrum. We will call you soon with more details."

Few minutes pass, private number call again. "Hello, Officer Knight. Next to the store in the Tataviam mountains there are 3 dumpsters. In one there is a usb with a note in front of it; this will provide you with more details as well as the first name on our list." The caller promptly hangs up, a beep emitting soon after the last word is spoken.

On location, Brian indeed finds a note - it has a few instructions: see picture at right. hxxps://fulcrum-d34d1[.]web[.]app w/ 13795. Brian takes the usb from the dumpster. Using his PD computer, Brian inserts the usb and goes to the site. It asks for a 5 digit code, and Brian hesitantly enters the one given to him. The next page has some text, directed at officers. Moving letters at the bottom spell out that they are watching. Clicking the group's name leads to the next page - one that has a focus on Tyrone.

Kyle Winters, who has been riding with Brian as Live PD, shows Brian a low rider black fully tinted truck nearby where Brian was investigating the dumpster area. Holy shit, he's still there. Dude says he was daydreaming. Kyle says he likes this shit, the investigative shit.

Private number yet again. "Officer Knight? Are you alone? Can anyone hear me?" Brian says no, plus the prison is on high alert. "I'll call you back." Respectful of Brian's time, peepoHappy.

Private number guy finally gets his chance. "Hello, Officer Knight, have I managed to catch you at a good time? (Brian says yes.) I was told to contact you by an organization called "Fulcrun" (he sounds a bit confused at the name here)... I really prefer to meet in person, if we could, to chat?" He says he's at the gas station off ... nevermind he would rather ping. Brian to wait for ping then.

Ping accepted, and Brian shows the marked location to Kyle. He says if he doesn't text in about 10 minutes to call PD to that location.

On approach, a man in black jeans, a black hoodie, fully covered black face, black gloves, and black shoes walks calmly to the car and first asks the reason for EMS being in the area - seems they found his car. Brian says downed individual call nearby possibly.

"Anyway, I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to bring this up - do you know of an organization called Fulcrum???"

"Let's say I have..." Brian replies.

"Um, when I first got in the city, uh, well a private number called me, um, one afternoon - uh it was a really deep voice kinda weird sounding voice on the other end and basically I don't know they um told me a whole bunch of stuff about I don't know um the criminals or city or something like that and basically they um offered me a whole bunch of money and protection if I just you know, um kept my eyes out for them? You know it kinda seemed harmless enough at the time - crazy, crazy things happen in the city so I kinda just went with it. Like uh, this morning, that same uh same number called me again man, and they told me that it was time that I called you - and that I was just meant to tell you all that I knew - and that's kinda all they said, to be honest, but uh, I know a lot. There's a lot of people that know man, if they just knew I was talking to you uhh, let's just say I wouldn't be here anymore, you know? Um yea..." The man fidgets next to Brian's car.

Brian gets out of the car and the man continues, "Oh! You're the man that pulled up to me earlier!! Oh okay, that's awkward..." He takes off his mask, revealing himself to be the one in the low truck earlier, then puts the mask back on. An EMS truck pulled up just behind them.

"That was a little awkward," Brian says, checking the live map. "Bad timing, go ahead."

The man still fidgets. Then, "Um, so - I'm a little over my head here man, I just thought I was getting an easy payday and then I would never hear from this person again or this number again, or whatever the hell they are...and then I got a phone call. And they kind of made it pretty clear that I play ball now or they tell all these people that I built connections with that they paid me... So uh here I am, you know, calling you man, doing what I was told. So I mean, I don't know if they told me, uh, not to tell you everything at once, that I was meant to give you bits and pieces, and to wait for them to contact me again."

"Okay. What do you have for me?"

"Um uh I mean I have a bunch of stuff from um the gangs...I mean maybe I should - if I admit kind of hypothetically to potentially doing illegal stuff myself in the process of telling you, am I...?"

"I don't care."

"Okay, I cleaned a lot of dirty cash for pretty much every single gang in the city. Chang, green, yellow, purple - both purples, uh did I say green? Um, pretty much everyone, you know? So I mean I'm not - no one really knows me in the city but also a lot of people do, so that's kind of why they like me running their money. So I know where a lot of people keep their money, you know dirty cash, and obviously how a lot of them make that dirty cash...I know who most of the coke connects are in the city, or at least the major coke connect is in the city at the moment, as well as some weapon dealers...you know, a few more things." He goes silent now, just looking at Brian.

The fuck?!

"Get inside my vehicle real quick." Brian says.

EMS honks and happily pulls up - "You see any murder kitties around here? I'm looking for them. I'm trying to be the ultimate Pokémon master."

Brian backs up out of the tunnel and talks to the guy, "I'm finding this very difficult to believe, at face value."

"Understandable - I was kinda a little bit shocked when I got called again. I like to think of myself as like the friendliesh hood rat you'll ever meet. You know uh, I live in the SS and I do hood rat shit - nothing crazy, I don't like shooting people or whatever. People like me, because I'm pretty friendly and I just do my own thing..." [Etc.] He goes on to repeat himself in the same manner.

Brian mentions the coke connects and gun connects.

Guy says the first thing he was supposed to tell Brian was that he provided a murder weapon and witnessed someone being stabbed and thrown into the back of a car at the taco shop. That, and the other things he knows he was told to wait to tell. Head of East Side Ballas, Tyrone was talking to someone outside the taco shop, gave someone a swirly, that someone didn't take it that well, Tyrone took him around a corner, this guy dropped a knife like oops, then that someone was stabbed, thrown into a trunk, displayed as a show of power, then EMS came, -

"I'm sorry, you gave him a knife?" Brian interjects.

Guy says it wasn't his best decision, whoopsie daisy. Brian asks the name of the victim. Unknown, but he went into the ICU. Brian asks for evidence like video or pictures. There were witnesses and such. Tyrone wouldn't give the knife back. Brian says he needs evidence, unless a person were to come forward on record...such as this guy...we need people placed on the scene. Other than that, the PD can keep an eye on Tyrone. Guy says he's just passing along information, he claims he's just the messenger.

"You say you clean money for every gang in the city?" Reply is: "yes". "Taco shop?" Reply: "Um, I'm not sure if I should be giving more information..." he then proceeds to give more information: "yes".

Brian says he will investigate. 311 call meanwhile, from Kyle for a status check on Brian.

"Obviously I don't really want to take the stand, I'll try to take photos next time..." he has more he wants to give Brian, but his instructors were pretty specific and he doesn't even know how they found him in the first place and finally stops divulging info to Brian. Nevermind, started talking again, oh, just to say he doesn't know what to do next.

Brian says he will investigate and repeats about the need for evidence. Guy says understandable again, and that he has no personal issues with Tyrone.

"Has Fulcrum told you what their agenda is...is there anything else they're allowing you to share with me?"

Guy is quick to start talking again, basically the criminals/people in the city are not up to expectations. Mentions term "honor among thieves" doesn't seem to apply anymore. Then he blatantly says he's willing to tell more, but it would be pushing the boundaries. He offers a coke connect name. Brian says he needs evidence, more than just a website. Guy now offers to set up a meeting with a connect for cocaine, and he'll buy at a location and time he gives Brian so the officer can witness the exchange. Yea, that would give some credibility. Brian needs a way to check the level of BS here.

Tyrone is the first name on this aforementioned list, who this guy says is a main coke connect, so this guy thinks it would be okay to set this meeting up, but he'll call for confirmation. Brian repeats his credibility need. Guy says his perspective again and where he's coming from - this all kind of came out of left field for him too. Some people watching have recorded conversations, etc. on him.

Brian drops the guy back off at his car, and says he'll keep Brian updated.

#### **[ARC] - The Highwayman**

**Citizens are attacked in Los Santos by someone identifying as "The Highwayman". A vigilante, this person or group of people release videos for the public to see as messages for their "righteous cause".**

Brian becomes aware of a new presence in the city, The Highwayman. Vigilantes, the targets of attack are all delivery and taxi drivers. Stonefinger provides more information. Petunia lets on that she was kidnapped for a "righteous cause" - QF and Harmony are hoarding materials, which is seen as an issue of concern for the Highwayman/Highwaymen. Some indications point to Cody Speedwagon as a possible Highwayman: the accent and face match the Highwayman who shows in a publicly released video. Petunia gives Cody's phone number. Bondi boys Benny Ramos. Vagos Violet. Note by car. Fuel tanker blown up in front of Petunia. Cody kicked out of Bondi Boys, according to Ruby Morris. Red Rooster Cab targeted by Highwayman.

Brian talks to Baas about Highwayman and his meeting with Petunia
Baas says to view report 3606. Baas thinks the incident may be involved: mentions Oscar VanDyke. Tanker. Baas thinks the highwaymen might be on a path of revenge of some sort. Possibly - it appears these highwaymen are policing in a way.

Another Highwayman alert. Then another...so far gas tanks link them all. Stonefinger gives a call: he filmed the second video for the group, may have evidence, and says there seem to be more than one actor in action.

Weird calls from Cody are reported to Brian and Forcer.

Brian and Forcer discuss the Highwaymen and the Smileys group: everyone's working together, yet purposes do not neatly align. Brian asks if the word "Tiger" means anything to Forcer - she says no. Discussion between the two on relations and purposes of Smileys and Highwaymen. Forcer to send stuff and work on report.

The note, Forcer says, came from a visit to the lighthouse involving a phone call and Flop. She says the note has a cipher, and it's an alphabet scramble.

Brian says the Smileys are a group of assassins - bounties are placed as orders. Perhaps the Highwaymen are using these services.

Brian tells Hunter of Highwayman. Baas joins. Highwayman took Sonya? The cops view the second Highwayman video. The man in the video makes threats yet says he didn't kill the Lost MC Member. The premise is that the PD allows gangs to freely do what they want, says Brian. The Highwayman seeks to dismantle this power.

Another video is released.

Brian and Baas talk on Highwayman and Sonya.

Highwayman news article published titled: "Blood on the Pavement, Death on the Docks". In the article the Highwayman is stated to say victims are not chosen at random. The Lost MC member was George Temple - the Highwayman does not take claim to the death. A strong threat is made, warning of "something big" and of more deaths in a week's time. The request is a statement/action from PD.

Brian shares info with Bayo.

Over a week later, Stonefinger calls: he says the Highwayman wants to meet up with him, and the reporter will ping Brian the location. Brian sets up to get a look at the Highwayman. Stonefinger calls again: sounds like someone is nearby who is listening by his word choice and fluctuation of tone. He asks for Brian to meet him to discuss a murder. Brian calls this update in to the PD radio.

Brian drives to Stonefinger's location; he stands near a gas tanker and fidgets in place. Brian paces the area, looking around. Then, a man in all black with a cowboy hat approaches with a gun aimed at the officer. He gets right into it, the Highwayman speaks on the rampage of the gangs in the city. "What is the LSPD going to do?" Brian retorts. Decisions on the law are not made by the LSPD. The DOJ. Brian gives a perspective into how he himself has been affected as well, and that work is being done, even if it is not noticed.

There are other ways to take gangs down, and it doesn't necessarily involve guns. Connections and networks. Brian radios in Ocean King. You're just one man, Brian continues. "Look what I've done," the Highwayman gives a paragraph. Brian: "Why attack the civilians when you could be dismantling those who are really funding these groups?" "Whoops on my part," for one inappropriately identified civilian he says. The Highwayman concludes, Vagos have lost members, BBC is broken, The Lost is left now. He says he's not alone, there are more with him. The Highwayman walks away from Brian, leaving him with the phrase: "Remember why you became a cop."

Brian confirms that Stonefinger is okay then they quietly walk to Brian's car. Brian knew the Highwayman didn't plan on killing them, which is why he allowed the situation with the vigilante instead of calling in reinforcements for a pickup. That can be for a future time.

Mikey Rivers calls 911 that Stonefinger was just kidnapped: the reporter is being forced to drive by someone in a blue jacket and paper bag on their head.

Brian updates Baas.

**Transition to Victim -**

Next day, Rhodes says Highwayman is dead?! Tweeted by a Lost member, he did mention the bikers yesterday...

When asked about the Highwayman, Snow says he held the guy's head in a box today, so he's definitely dead. A smiley was carved into his face and his eyes were burned out. The bikers Rudi and Reid dropped off his head to Snow. Espinoz and Raven have been working on the case, among others.

Brian finds this an apt time to inform that he was unlawfully imprisoned yesterday by the Highwayman, and his background with Stonefinger with the guy. Brian quickly briefs on the event.

Espinoz pulls Brian in the PD office to update on the status of his report for the Highwayman. He mentions that Cody Speedwagon's body, minus some limbs and fingers, was found via autopsy by Choi with carvings. Further, he says an anonymous call came in during his shift, which lead to some of Cody's missing fingers at the Sandy Shores office. Espinoz reads from his phone: there was a clear bag with a single index finger with dried blood on the end. An accompanying origami, once unfolded, read "To the officers missing pieces of the puzzle, this finger was used multiple times to pull the trigger on a gun that blew innocent people up. The man responsible is now more; justice has been served, hope has been restored." Espinoz received this message twice.

Brian tells his Highwayman story. He concludes by saying Dundee may be involved, or may simply be trying to take credit, as he spoke briefly with him in Pillbox just earlier. Cody was former BBMC, Bondi Boys Motorcycle Club. Yesterday, Espinoz questioned Reid, who gave some details of the fate of Cody's body: details unknown by anyone other than forensics and higher ups in the PD. Reid and Rudi top of suspect list.

They agree the smiley face references are a misdirection. Doubtful these two Lost MC members are smileys.

Espinoz to start a murder investigation; the Lost MC is active during his shift. They seemed to be gloating over the death however... let's think about that. The gang recently lost a member; Snow also had a meeting with the bikers. The meeting adjourns and Espinoz is to send a multi-page investigative document.

Brian iterates that the Highwayman is dead to Baas. Most likely the culprits are members of the Lost MC.

**Following his and his son Dan's torture, along with a few other reasons, Brian's demeanor changes to a a much more serious one, much to the confusion of those around him.**

Tension mounts as Brian is kidnapped by Chang Gang. Following torture, Brian is thrown out a helicopter at Mission Row. Dan is the first to show next to Brian's motionless body, and EMS arrives soon thereafter. A trip to Pillbox and some surgery later, Brian wakes up ready for revenge.

Leniency has lead to Brian being "done with this shit." A prison riot involves CG members.

Dan is now missing. Brian gets a video message from Chang: the leader of CG speaks a few works, angry about what Brian did to Ramee, and Dan can be seen in the background - a victim to the same treatment Brian endured just earlier and handcuffed. Quickly, Brian rallies the PD in an effort to save his son, yet the PD response falters in Brian's eyes. Shootout on Mount Chilliad, Taco goes down. Brian 'drops' Taco off the mountain [because of a level 4 Twitch train].

Brian's demeanor changes, much to the surprise and confusion of those around him.

Time passes.

Then, Brian's again kidnapped - now by some LB. Follows similar storyline of new outfit and tossed from heli. Also Dan kidnapped and same just after.

#### **[ARC] - Vegvisir**

An arsonist.

According to Baas, radio station 197.1 and notes that mention it are related to this case. So I'm putting all those notes / investigation here but they may be different investigations...

**Generally Baas has been more involved in this investigation than Brian, but Brian has still played a part.**

Chris Robinson. Baas says note was found. "Nordic Mythology" / "Vegvisir" Viking Compass. Review of bloody note.

Baas speaks with Brian: he received a phone call from someone hiding their voice: they were given a mission to send a message to Baas. 3 notes. Brian is shared a document with the "3rd note". The symbols appear to have already been translated. According to the person on the other end of the call to Baas, they want "justice". So either a victim, or at least someone in the know. They discuss the EMS' role in investigations. Baas feels this particular investigation is hindered by its reactive nature at the moment, rather than proactive.

Over a week later, Brian sees a note on the ground outside of MRPD. About stories, this is a test, contact radio 197.1, look for "hope in the Darkest of Storms" with some more clues on location. 2 EMTs rush over and say they recently called into 911 with a description of the man who dropped it off and the van: blonde hair, brownish-red hippie van. On the hunt Brian and Baas go. Seconds later Brian has eyes: plates return to Chastity and Brian can see a smiley mask through the back window. Sirens - the person in the back shoves their hat and mask under the seat quickly. Chastity was driving and Brian pulls her aside - what do you know about someone named Jasper? The other guy in the car is Tobi. She says she did drop the note off, but a man on a motorcycle made her do it - all black outfit. She doesn't have Jasper's number. She reads the whole note. Across the street is a motorcycle, nah, it's been there this whole time. Back and forth on the number. She says the guy on the phone sounded like a Scarecrow. Brian keeps saying she's lying. New note found, Brian learns listening to the radio. Leads to the lighthouse.

Brian, Baas and Vale discuss if these notes are related to Jasper [Refer "Satanic Rituals"]. They join the radio station given and hear a quiet "need help..."

     At the lighthouse, there's a new note with clues to the next location. A tuned voice, "do you need help? Yes or no". No, Brian replies.

Baas answers a call, and after he hangs up, is super exited and runs back up the lighthouse stairs. It's the viking guy. Okay, too many investigations, Brian and Baas decide to transfer ownership of this case to Vale.

Baas learns the PD may have caught Jasper. Brian and Baas race excitedly to the location. Nah, it's the brown van. It's related to what Baas said earlier is the viking stuff, not Jasper.

Baas, Brian, and Vale discuss the viking case.

Metzger says Vale can't lead the viking investigation as she's not in the JTF.

Brian comes across another note on MRPD's front steps. Says to contact radio station 197.1 when one has a piece to submit. While waiting for court to begin, Brian tunes into the station. A voice returns, "hello". Brian asks for clarification on the note. The answer is almost unintelligible. Then, "it's about collaboration". Back and forth about notes as Brian seems confused. The responses start to become a bit more irritated.

Choi mentions she followed a trail of notes that led to videos. Radio channel 197.1. Mineo shares some evidence.

#### **[ARC] - Prophet Raphael**

"Raphael's c4"

Refer [SHORT] - Mission Row 'Terrorism'

**Raphael Kristof's name comes on Brian's radar after he detonates c4 at the court house. Some time passes and Brian realizes Raphael is linked to some major hidden organizations in Los Santos.**

DOC Edward requests to speak with Brian on Raphael Kristof: insane lifer terrorist attacking PD. He told Edward he bought c4 and gave the description of the guy he bought it from to Edward: fur coat, slick black hair, facial hair, dress pants, eyepatch, sounded Irish. "Asian of Chaos" = Brian = "Leader of the Shadow Hunters". Uh, drugs? List also provided of those Raphael doesn't like: Roman, Lauren, Reverend, Dwayne, all Egyptians and their descendants. Reasons given are petty. Edward will send over the whole report, even though Raphael seems to have some screws loose. He's also got a Bible. Also something about an underground. Brian reviews.

Edward phone call - they speak on Raphael and his reasons / purpose. They'll all meet up later, Brian to talk to HOA also.

Brian requests to speak with HOA. He mentions Raphael's name and the HOA immediately laughs. They share the Bible, which Brian pretends he hasn't seen before. They think it's just a bunch of references to some gods of some sort. Some more talk.

Off-duty Brian goes to Bolingbroke. Meets DOC Edward to talk on Raphael. Raphael's sleeping, cannot speak to him at the moment.

Edward updates Brian on the Raphael situation – Brian makes his way to Bolingbroke and works with DOC to set up a meet for Brian and Raphael. Along with a doctor standing nearby, Brian questions Raphael's interest in himself. He's heard things, apparently, and claims to know quite a bit about Brian. Then, he mentions the Underground as the source of a request for Raphael to target Brian. They lie within the shadows and watch when we sleep. The Shadows have a name, but Raphael is silent when asked what it is. Onto Raphael's Bible. Also the Chocobungus page. Through an algorithm, Raphael writes it himself. What is this algorithm? A vast network, the dark web... this is the source.

You tried to kill me and didn't succeed - but what if I did, Raphael cuts in. "You've changed, Brian." The officer pauses and puts down his notebook as Raphael continues, "you're now better." I was kidnapped by CG, that's why I changed, returns Brian. "I know." How? Everything is connected to the algorithm. The Underground gives people missions, and one lead to you. So what now? "You are one of the pillars, Brian. A pillar that needs to be watched." Heard of their messages? Everything is for the cause.

Okay, what cause? The city needs change. Brian agrees. Raphael says Brian was infected by himself, Chang, and Shadows - in an effort to bring Brian into their fold. As he's PD, he can provide balance. Brian takes his leave.

Stonefinger tweets to a "shadowy friend" that he has a "development". Interesting. Brian reviews the notes on Raphael: within is a mention of Brian's full name...then, "Brian needed to die." Brian was once given a "card full of traits."

Brian joins the HOA in their bar and talks on Raphael. They begin by calling him "interesting," and say they've not met anyone from the Underground. Brian tells he was a target of the Prophet, who attempted to blow him up with c4, and that he was indicated as a pillar. Why me, why you, why us? Hm. Raphael stands as a God, and we stand as ants. Brian reads a passage from the Bible, one from the Chocobungus page. Praise be. Everyone in the HOA seems to just accept the words and sayings from Raphael as too complex to even begin to decipher. Brian suggests they may be able to try to decipher them and understand their meaning to get closer to the truth. More cult stuff. Praise be. One of them ascends [is disconnected from the server] and then another, and the rest freak out.

A few days later, Brian reads over DOC Dominic Parker's notes dated 7/6/2020 - rewritten here for easier reading but the same content -

Man with white hair, white mask, black jacket, calls himself "Incursion". Organization called "The Order of Life"? gave Raphael task to blow up the MRPD and a list of names to assasinate; upon Raphael's imprisonment, they cut ties. Another org is under the OOL, dark web - this group does more of the dirty work.

There is a secret forum page the OOL uses: approval needed to access. Tasks given through this means. Recruitment is from the yellow pages. Reggie is a recruit from Raphael. Zer and Raphael met yesterday: the latter is informed the url has changed. So it rotates.

A man named "Samuel Cyr" may have given the c4 to Raphael: brown hair, brown beard, 80s tinted glasses, white fur coat, black dress pants and white shoes with a black 4x4 truck.

The OOL might have some level of control over the taco shop, which may be a front. The Shadows?

Raphael has an ally in the Order and Zer often visits him at prison in a happy face mask and red suit. Two potential members in the Order: Thomas Dwayne and Carl Crimes. Both are involved with the taco shop as well. Maybe the Order wears masks of animals? What would be the meaning?

End Dominic Parker's notes.

How did this DOC get this information? Where is it all from?

The next day, DOC Dominic Parker requests to speak with Brian in MRPD. Raphael has been speaking to both Parker and Steve while in Bolingbroke. Parker has more notes that he hands over: Raphael met with his informant today, Zer, who said his name was "Joe Slicer". Last name may be an alias. Zer said the Order may be looking into crafting heavy guns for the purpose of breaking Raphael out of prison. However, it doesn't sound like they have good intentions for Raphael... Order is willing to do the work themselves or pay $200k to outsource. Zer received a call at the end of the conversation and was visibly nervous. End Parker's notes. Parker seeks to have Raphael set up a meet with Zer, himself and/or Brian.

Parker searched for the name "Slicer" but there is no existing record. Brian asks if anyone else is in contact with Raphael. Not that Parker has noticed, though he was waiting for a visit one day without a 311 call...

Dr. William Thatch calls - he and Raphael are both available at Bolingbroke should Brian want to talk.

Off to Bolingbroke. Once set up to converse, Raphael begins by saying he wants to formally apologize for his actions; he believes what he did was wrong and hopes he didn't hurt Brian. The psychologist, dressed all in black except for his collared shirt, inquires if the DOC has given anything to Brian. Raphael makes the same request regarding what he had given the DOC Parker. The inmate now speaks on Parker: "keen sense of judgement. I've learned quite a bit from him. Life lessons." The doctor jumps in - Raphael's "getting a lot better." Raphael is trying a hand at being normal. His teachings, however, are part of the great journey and shall continue to exist.

This journey is attached to Brian; hey, Brian's on a journey with Chang, on his quest for balance in his life! Raphael talks on the great journey. The algorithm. Everything connected. "Are you going straight, or are you going wiggly?" Brian says he intends to do both - herein lies the balance.

Raphael mentions the c4 and the organization that gave it to him. The Order of Light hides in the shadows - they recruit in the darkness and reach out to those with "low mentality." They are similar to the Illuminati, "somewhat." The OOL contracts to target people, and Brian found himself on their list. Brian says he's been on several lists. Raphael says many inmates do not like Brian, and they wish him "destroyed." Raphael calls this thinking a "false mindset...they should feel happy that you sent them here, they should feel pleasure." Why? "You are serving justice... There is a way to rehabilitate anyone, especially if you learn from my teachings. You can either become a master manipulator or the opposite." I only want to guide, replies Brian. "Life experience chooses knowledge - knowledge will help you guide those to a greater path." Brian verbally agrees with the "Great Prophet."

Like Chastity Dawes? No, although I've met her, says Raphael. She spoke on a lot of information to him, which he considers will help him greatly. Define prosperity. "The good ending, with alternate paths." Everyone is different. "We are like a coin, the front, the back, and the center."

Next topic on the plan to break Raphael out and hurt him - $200,000 bounty on his head. Why? The OOL no longer desires Raphael's existence, nor Brian's. Dr. Hatch recommends Raphael making the move to Parson's; Brian agrees. Raphael entrusts himself in his psychologist. Raphael tells of his second book, the second gospel teachings, and that only his doctor has read it. "The second book is to look further within - the unknown has a very masked presence. Every book that is made will have an aurora around it. It depends on the will inside, like the chocobungus within you, Brian. If there's a will, there's a way."

Brian says he studies Raphael's teachings in the HOA tavern during the evenings. The prophet suggests reading the book during the full moon: it will lead to "true divinity and passion. Your consciousness, it will achieve the forever tomorrow." That makes sense, Brian replies. Now how to become the W? Raphael suggests speaking to Chang about the martial way.

The inmate says Brian should question the HOA about the Scientific Technology Device (STD). It has properties, he says, of which the HOA is unaware. Brian must spread the STD to guide others. Raphael offers to speak with Brian again should he falter in his journey. Hatch asks about the "W". Raphael explains in his own way, then also explains the manipulation. He follows by listing the officers he has spoken to: Garcia, Parker, Pond(?), Glass, Steve, Spartan, Nygma etc. No judges are around for transport to Parson's, so this plan will be to include the HOA tomorrow. DOC signs on just now, Frankie Dulio. Brian calls him to the office. As Brian leads Raphael back inside, the inmate turns and says, "Remember to always search for the pearl. It will be a guiding light for you from now on. Remember, water is an element. Once you read the other book, you will learn a lot about the elements." He turns again, and as Brian walks away, salutes with the phrase, "Be well, Brian."

Now with the psychologist Hatch, Brian and the doctor plan the transport for the following day.

Brian drives to a quiet place to think. Pearl? Water is an element? Rickys? Sewer rats? He pulls out his copy of the second book. The introduction: "Evolutionary Theory"...

Brian calls the HOA - he says he has the second book and needs the HOA's help tomorrow to help transport the great Prophet.

Thatch. Need timeframe for near future transport of Raphael. Thatch mentions he is currently in hiding - the psychologists are not feeling too safe from a group of serial killers.

Brian sees a new text message, from an unknown number simply saying, "Who is this?" He calls. Turns out it's Raphael. Someone, a trusted ally they both know, gave him this number. He's in the prison; he was "captured and taken away". His books "transcend time". Brian says he's been meditating and asks for advice. "Of course. When you look at a reflection, do you see yourself, or do you see something better?" To meet tomorrow.

Raphael in prison: "Violence is never the answer". "To look into the mirror is to look to the west." Seconds later, Ramee walks up and punches the great prophet violently.

Over a week later, Brian comes across Raphael the prophet in Pillbox. He's released now. The usual talk on paths, etc. Wait he knows about the chicken man?!

Raphael sends Brian his 3rd book. This one focuses on technology. Assimilation, transformation. The powers of the web. Mention of a note on "consequences" and "watching one's back"...however, he didn't go to the given location as he figured it was a trap. [Refer "Actions have Consequences".] "Search for something brighter, look towards the light". Etc.

Brian and McClane invest in shares of Raphael's company. They receive some advice in return.

#### **[ARC] - SSB vs. LB**

Bigger Fish to Catch

Also Steele Security / Garage Q

**The Southside Ballas and Leanbois have conflicting interests...the Garage Q members join in as well.**

On arrival to a call, the LB claim they were victims of a drive by.

Later, Brian arrives on scene of the aftermath of a shooting. Injured lay Louis Baton, Eugene... 250oz of weed is found on scene. Doug shows, he says he's just in the area to see what the commotion was. Brian chats with Vale in Pillbox: it's another shooting of Steele Security and Ballas, plus Eugene. How does this all fit together? There was also the weed. Just outside the ward, an entourage starts to form of gang members. Brian calls Mineo, Vale, and Dan over to assess - they are to photograph the current patients in handcuffs so they can issue warrants later should there be a breakout attempt. Wait, Denzel? Now the patients start questioning the legality of the PD taking photos. Denzel is released illegally and a few people escape. Brian and Mineo take Eugene and Louis to Mission Row.

What happened, Eugene? The senior says he didn't know he was shot up by Steele Security; it appeared he was caught in some cross-fire. He was shot in a gray Sultan he was trying to lockpick.

Now it's Louis' turn. He's Steele Security. For what happened, he was chilling with some others he says, and it starts raining bullets - thus the returned fire. The car Eugene described is not mentioned. Louis says Eugene is a ride-along for Steele Security, as is Denzel. On this, Brian strides back to Eugene's cell and says he's free to go, the "stories match up". Eugene doesn't bite on mention of the weed found on the ground. Brian says the LB run the taco shop: Eugene is quick to say "wrong". Brian now pokes at Doug Canada's name - Eugene says he hasn't seen the guy in months. Brian bills Eugene then sends him over to DOC.

Back to Louis, who says he was in the area for a breaking and entering call. Brian pushes the weed agenda. Alert comes over the radio that Ballas just magdumped RRC at court house. Louis is a former RRC member; he has since been fired. He says it was himself, Denzel, and Apples. Brian lets Louis walk then makes the parting statement that he doesn't want to see SS get shut down.

During a PD meet, Brian requests proof of the blue car - Angel has a picture. Vale shares some pictures as well.

Questioning of Ellie. No lawyers, she's on her own. Let's talk on the south side and Garage Q workers earlier. Brian brings up the RRC and magdump - she changes her approach to this investigation and now calls it her own. Brian waits for an answer as Ellie doesn't really say anything. She seems surprised at Eugene and Denzel working for Q for Steele. Brian continues fishing. She says she didn't see the shooters. Brian now hits her with the weed. She reels and goes silent for a quick moment before refusing to claim it. Brian references the Metallic Mariner blue Kuruma and mentions Doug. Ellie learns Brian let Eugene go because he 'trusts him and his story'. Charged, sent to DOC.

Denzel's interrogation begins with a quick phone call to Apples from Denzel. Brian poses same question as he did to Ellie. Denzel recaps: it was blap blap from at least 5 different directions. Couldn't see, cannot remember - woke in Pillbox. Brian outright tells him he's testing the truth told here. Talk justification of actions of Denzel vs. PD. Talk on Parsons. Let's loop back to the first question - outburst from Denzel, who says he used to run a business and live the legal life before the PD gunned down his wife in front of him. Brian hits at Denzel's family: Ellie's RRC. Brian warns of the attitude and again brings attention to the target of RRC. Brian tells Denzel what he's missing, and there may be a second chance for them to work together, off the record. Charged and given to DOC.

Brian asks for AJ's perspective. Quick run down. Inside Pillbox, Buddha and PD debate on PC.

Investigation room again. CJ. What's up with the LB? "Friendly fist fight." Let's try again. "They're losing members and we're just getting stronger." CJ calls the LB story Brian provided bullshit. He says he didn't start all this, but points to Q. Puzzle pieces, Q at Legion Square, who was there... Steele, Apples, Denzel - the last name seems to hit a mark. Talk on the recent hostage death and forensic evidence. Brian offers to shut down Q's operation and requests CJ to investigate what was up with the 250oz weed - if Ballas, he wouldn't charge, he just needs some info. CJ says Ballas don't mess with the taco shop nor the weed game, even though they are in a war. Certain people were at the scene, says CJ, and not just Denzel... billed and sent to DOC.

Brian calls the number who made the 911 call about the Ballas magdumping earlier at the court house. They plan to meet.

Brian meets with the caller, a woman who wishes to remain anonymous on the tape recording. She explains she saw SS Ballas roll up on Apples, in a RCC taxi, Sully pulled a gun first, bullets shot. Silently to stay off the recording, she motions she was the one who pulled their bodies off the roof.

Rolling up on the conclusion of a scene, Dan tells Brian a downed individual had 100 baggies of weed on him. Seems planted. Let's bring him in.

Another interrogation, this time of Tyrone Thompson by Brian and Dan. He believes he was targeted: shot by people in red then robbed. He seems unaware of the weed. Raid threatened, lawyer requested. Brian says he just wants to know why this guy might have been targeted. There's some shit with the LB, he also says he just shot at the group. Some more back and forth about the weed. Brian requests Tyrone talk to his boys. Alone with Dan, Brian instructs his son to not charge - we have bigger fish to catch.

ESB Cheddar tells Brian the LB and SS Ballas are beefing. Invited to check the trunk, Brian finds a gift of a PD rifle. He wants information, as his group thinks they have a snitch. Brian says Viper was involved in a plant of a PD AR, and says Viper didn't seem to snitch. Talk on legal shit. Brian says that whole situation seemed to be, well, situated.

The following day, Brian starts to tell Rhodes about LB and SS Ballas beef - they're momentarily interrupted by a call, but Brian is able to pass along some details.

Alert regarding SSB and Q. Chase ensues after a car with a dead body in the back. Caught: Denzel, Pepe, Apples, and Luther.

With Angel, Brian explains this all started with the murder of the biker at a Fleeca bank. Denzel and Q had stormed the bank, invading the SSB who had already claimed it. War begins. Denzel infiltrating Q? There's also the LB with weed in the mix, and Eugene. Purple is also going after RRC, Ellie's. We still need to figure out the objective / end goal. So who's working for who? Brian also explains to Angel the civil war that lead to the creation of the SSB.

Brian receives a phone call of a decapitated body; other members of PD do as well through the alert system. On location, a trail of blood is seen leading to a, sure enough, decapitated body. CJ's house? LB stop by as concerned neighbors. Brian pretends to play into the plan of a raid and says one is quite likely. Steele Security, Q, LB. To check out inside the house or nah? PD discusses. LB come back: go away. Back to discussing. Even though this is an obvious setup, what do we have so we don't raid? Would be nice to have a judge to consult. Decision - we'll break in now, but not look within any safes or drawers. More discussion outside.

PD breaches the SSB house. Nothing found. Brian suggests to continue trying to contact CJ. Cameron was confirmed dead before his body was placed on the lawn, so do we want to do full diligence here? Ballas member shows - he says CJ and Lil Kim have keys to that particular house and gives CJ's number to the PD.

PD debrief from the top to Malton and Casanova. Talk on game plan with PD investigations moving forward on this, such as who to bring in and what information to share at this time.

Cardell Jones (CJ) shows at Mission Row as he found his home surrounded in police tape after finishing a prison sentence. Brian and CJ head down to the interrogation room - Brian begins with Miranda, then asks what's the beef between SSB and Steele Security. Mainly, CJ replies, Shit happened at the bank, ICU visit of his girlfriend, stupidity killed a man, the stupidity traveled to his hood and are now causing more problems. Since that main incident there have been stabbings, yet CJ holds himself back from revealing to Brian anything more. Brian tells CJ the game is getting dirty - PD raided his house earlier, but hints at the bait. CJ vouches for Lil K and his other homie. Brian wants to know who is targeting the SSB, and why. It's not just the LB. CJ seems surprised at Brian's mention of it being more than the LB. What's up with RRC, and Steele Security? Minor beef with SS and SSB before the Fleeca bank incident. Denzel. Ya there's beef there, CJ confirms - that guy doesn't give a fuck and is heartless; there's some respect though. So what's up with the police tape all around my house, asks CJ. A body was found, decapitated and with a trail of blood to the front door of the house. No I didn't chop off any heads today, and if it were any of my people that probably would have come up in conversation. Do you have any vendetta against Cameron? Who? Brian gives a rundown of the current situation in LS with these groups. CJ offers access to his house - cool, can we see your stash? Sure. Wait, are you going to take anything? If it's illegal. Hmm. Back to talk on this overall situation. Nevermind, I'd prefer if you didn't raid my house actually, says CJ. Chet arrives for the second round of questioning.

Inside the PD office, Brian updates Chet to some extent - the idea is to keep this contained. Should anything seem to tie into something grander, note it and refer back to Brian.

Brian watches a Twatter video: Message to Q from SSB: the latter says it's revenge time: since Big E was dug up and blown up, one of Q's was going to pay retribution. More threats.

Brian responds to a shooting: LB Tony and Q Apples down. SSB car. Some SSB and LB banter. PD takes some time to discuss. Brian questions Tony on the beef.

Rolling up on a purple ESB car, Brian and SSB agree to meet. In a parking garage, Brian immediately asks who started the shootout at Q just now. They say LB did - and then describe Tony, Ellie, Buddha, and Eugene(?). Brian smokes a joint and says he knows about this riff, and that the PD must respond - the question is towards which side, the LB or the SSB. CJ lets known he has a meeting set with the LB. There's also Q involved. They want to know if Brian speaks to the LB the same as he is now: the response is that the SSB are much more unified.

So who started that commotion in Q just now? They again don't take the claim. Brian is given a joint for the road. Later, Brian talks a bit on the situation with Snow and Copper.

#### **[ARC] - 'Babe' and Malakai**

Riley. Malakai. "Riley's Memory Loss"

Riley texts she lost her memory and that she wants Brian's last name as she cannot remember hers. Brian reads it as Malakai texting initially.

Brian meets with Malakai at the end of a pier. After some talk on Brian himself, Malakai says some guys named Schnakes called him up for a repair kit. As he approached their car with the kit along with Riley, they were both shot by men with horrible Spanish accents. After a trip to Pillbox, Malakai and Riley were shot up again: at this incident, Riley lost her memory, and since then she hasn't remembered much. Malakai calls up Riley but she's a bit busy. They plan to set up a meet and make a bet: 1k to Malakai if Brian doesn't pick the phone next he rings.

Brian calls Riley, she's with Malakai. She visits him in PD in a white dress - Brian and Riley stumble through figuring out their relationship. They step outside and Riley's memory resets again. So Brian tests it, saying crazy shit.

Malakai now shows and gives Brian some pointers for how to speak to amnesia Riley. It turns out she remembers more than he hoped. When she mentions she's waiting for Brian to propose, the officer spins around, runs outside, takes a car, speeds away, and shoots down a helicopter.

Riley calls, she got a job at the taco shop. They chat for a short bit then Malakai calls. Her memory is coming and going. Brian recommends his doctor, Dr. Villin. Talk on if Villin is a villian. Talk on the KEKW meme. Malakai's car broke down so Brian and Riley meet him at the Richmond Hotel. There's a bank truck nearby, wonder what that's doing there... a few more minutes and they take a drive back to the taco shop. Brian questions how Riley has a mansion from Malakai. Gay vibes from Malakai? Riley comes back, back to talking on random stuff.

Malakai continues to give mixed signals.

Riley is curious about Brian and Malakai's relationship.

Brian goes to the Bean Machine and is greeted by six people who question the women in Brian's life. Malakai is particularly interested. Brian says he loves Riley and receives a hard stare from Petunia. The crew set Brian and Petunia at a table and take food orders.

After the dinner Malakai notes the color of Brian's eyes and requests a hug. Petunia given a hug too. Wait, Riley's a criminal? The group seems to have trouble answering this question. While speaking one on one with Malakai in the corner of a room, Brian is told Petunia is a bit crazy by Malakai. He also says Riley is starting to remember again. Riley calls Malakai just now. Brian pays the bill and hastily makes his exit as Petunia remarks that they're getting married.

Shortly, Brian crashes into the two women who danced from earlier and stumbles through his words. One of the women gives her number and makes requests in exchange for her silence.

Riley and Brian talk on the phone, Riley mentions hypnosis...

Brian sees Riley and Malakai on the road. She's just a bit angry at Brian earlier with Petunia. Riley says she was jailed last night and that Petunia is a murderer - wait what?! Malakai deflects. Riley questions all the hugs from earlier. Back to talking on Petunia. Brian explains to Riley some more, who seems to accept what he says and forgive him. Malakai stops Brian before he tells Riley of the other women.

911 call that Petunia is a hostage. At Q, Brian asks if the men who called in the pickup heard Brian's name. Nope. Riley calls that one guy, he mentions to Riley on the phone Brian is there for Petunia. Great. Some more chit chat.

Texts from Riley unanswered. Angry tweets from Riley. Malakai as communicator. Brian offers an advanced lockpick to Riley...which he doesn't have, at least not initially.

Random Riley and Malakai.

A Jessica calls - Riley is very drunk and threatens her. Brian attempts to lead the crew of tipsy Baas and Conan to Jessica's location. Baas tries to arrest drunk Riley, Brian stops him, Malakai is nearby and also appears drunk, Brian and Riley talk about their relationship, or lack of one, and Brian says he doesn't love her.

Brian sidebars with Malakai and they talk on what went down last night when Brian was drunk. They both decide to pass it off as Brian having brain damage.

Brian uses the excuse of brain damage to explain himself to Riley. He brings Villin as his doctor. Some back and forth. It's awkward. She pulls a hatchet and Brian gives her a baseball bat as a present. A tweet a few minutes later, it was actually evidence, whoops...

Some days pass. Babe is mad at Brian. Malakai says it's because of the VU. Brian says he's dating Madison for her safety. Riley has also been with Soze and AJ? Wait, she didn't know about VU? She runs away again crying. There's a bank truck here? Malakai and Riley feign ignorance of robbing it. Brian tries to save the relationship he's never available for. Call, Brian needs to leave. Riley tweets, "Fuck love, it's not worth it." Brian tweets back, "wait wtf, you were in love?" Twitter pops tf off.

Riley calls, Brian has a great idea. Since he's so busy with work, she can become a serial killer and he can investigate! Great plan. She doesn't think so though, she's still unhappy. Seems a little more chipper when she decides to allegedly kill Brian's roommate and/or Brian himself.

The next day, Riley and Malakai at the pier. Brian and Riley fight over Madison, etc. They seem to make up then Riley realizes Stacey is with Brian in the car - she jumps into the water. Further down the pier, Malakai and ? tell Brian he fucked up by taking Stacey with him. Talk on hits, addictions, fire hydrant attraction, etc.

Some days later, Brian is concerned for Riley's safety and her whereabouts. Refer "Satanic Rituals" Arc. He had received a phone call from a PN. "Brian, or should I call you, Michael Douglas?" It's the name Brian gave to Madison as his. The caller mentions the mansion and is interested in Madison. "I've been hired to unfold your lies" More interest in Madison and Brian's relationship. And who's threatening Madison's life. At the end of the call, it seems he may have Madison hostage...

After the call Brian updates Baas. It may be Riley...or Happy the Clown...or Jasper...or a hitman... To Madison's mansion. On the way, Brian and Baas check out a different house as someone was seen running through. Clear. "LSPD! Make yourself known!" Brian now breaches Madison's place. Clear. Brian explains more to Baas.

Malakai pulls up alongside them on the road - Brian asks if Riley is awake because she might be in trouble. Seems to not be in the city. Malakai wants to know why the PD want to know.

Brian ponders. Wouldn't have been Jasper don't think. Maybe Riley, she could have hired someone. And if so, is Malakai aware? And Madison might not even be held hostage either; no proof. A lot of reasons to suggest she was not actually taken.

#### **[ARC] - The Journey**

**From something as simple as looking to reprimand someone who unnecessarily pinged him, Brian finds himself on the journey to find balance in life, a quest directed by Chang.**

As Brian chats with his sister Brie, he gets a ping (his number is 1, sometimes people like to ping 1) from an Alexander Campbell.

Brian heads to location with Brie/Cheddar. Meets his nephew, Toretti's son. Brian wants to know why he's being harassed for his ping number. Now it's family tree talk. More talk. As Brian leaves, he hits Alexander, rendering him lifeless on the ground. The women, now like more than 4 of them, surround Brian and pull him into his cop car. Brie/Cheddar calls 911. The Angels drive to a clothing store and force him at gunpoint to change his look into one of a prostitute because of his choice of words to them earlier. Baas and Vale take lead right outside the front doors. Alex hides behind a cop vehicle outside. Brian now has no beard, yellow hair in a mid-rise ponytail, a Hawaiian pink and yellow tank top, pink shorts, and flip flops as a message for women. Brian switches tactics; he professes his interest in the women. They keep talking over each other. Claire becomes more irate... eventually they take off in Brian's car and Brian is free.

King picks him up and Brian texts Chang. The women, "Femcels Unite," were caught and Brian takes a few moments to speak.

Brian considers Chang's dojo. Baas has differing thoughts...

Brian requests Chang teach him the balance in life. Chang: "You are the W!" Brian is then instructed to go to the highest point in the city, consume a part of himself, and become the W.

A few moments later, Brian asks around for PD members toenails...outside of MRPD, he is questioned on his appearance and hypes up the scenario to represent a W (win). Now he tells the story to a whole group of people. He continues the charade as Live PD joins him on duty, boasting.

Brian eats part of Vale's charred skin...Baas questions. Brie/Cheddar might be pregnant, Baas tases Brie, Brian freaks, Brie is handcuffed, Choi says Brie is not pregnant, Brian...asks for the fetus...

Brian discusses this journey with Winters, a LivePD representative. Brian tells CG his plans with his sister Brie's fetus for the journey. Brian joins them on the bus.

Chang says Brian failed his first test, he didn't resist. Next test to come shortly.

Brian updates Dan and AJ on his journey. He secures another W after making a deal with a civilian. [Refer Short Brian Shoots Civ, Whoops] Another W as Rudi speaks German and Brian understands some of it while questioning Rudi.

King cuffs Brian at a remote location and brings him to the end of a dock. King asks if Brian trusts him - yes! King questions if Brian is worthy of the juice. King enjoys his juice and Brian helps himself to some of King's blood. Check. King throws Brian into the water then they go back on duty.

Chang's martial arts.

"Mysterious Text Messages"
[Sareff]
Where the Dominoes Fall

sn

**Mysterious text messages lead to a meeting with Chasity Dawes - a highly knowledgeable individual in LS. But how much of what she tells Brian is actually true?**

CHASTITY DAWES - yet Brian doesn't know initially. Linked prior to Smileys, etc.

Mysterious text messages from an unknown, he/she heard Brian is a "useful man to know." Brian calls the number - a woman answers yet says Brian can figure out who she is, and that she'll see him soon.

On a later phone call, the woman reveals she knows of Taran Raid and Tiger - 2 names which certainly catch Brian's attention.

The woman meets Brian near the beach - she soon shows him she is missing an eye and that the damage is from last night. Depth perception talk.

Brian inquires why she mentioned Taran's name; he was following her a couple days ago and showed at QF. Seems to be related. She asks Brian what he knows about the Tiger.

Brian pushes back, not giving any information. She says she doesn't work for anyone, only for herself. They both claim to know the identity of Tiger and eventually Brian states, "Jacklyn May."

"I'm not that interested in Taran though, to be honest, there's much bigger fish in the city...there's a lot of little boys who like to play at having power." Taran Raid, Sybil Shepard... Some of the more interesting names, she claims: Thomas Dwayne, Flop Dugong...

What's her angle, what's her purpose? "When I'm bored, I like to push some dominoes over and see where they fall." Although she says she holds no personal grudges against Dwayne, Flop, or Taran, etc., they continue to interrogate acquaintances of hers contrary to her wishes. Taran also almost had a friend of hers killed. However, the last time she poked QF and Taran, she lost a good chunk of her memory, thus stays away nowadays. Let's talk on Flop now: "snake, liar, and a snitch, that's what Flop Dugong is," the woman laughs. Interrogation, though? She doesn't know why people don't just ask her questions directly, "if you want to hurt me, hurt me, don't hurt the fucking people around me, that's boring."

Her turn for questions: "What were you protecting Thomas Dwayne?" I'm not. "Then why did you cuff another man instead of him, when there was a shootout?" That was a while ago, it was the shootout after Brian's first meeting with Dwayne: Brian explains this as a member of Q spying on a private conversation turned shootout and shitshow. Dwayne was never in custody. She says it's good to check sources, people usually talk in half-truths and hide.

Brian takes out a cigarette as the conversation shifts to Dwayne and his actual extent of power and ways of operation. Brian acknowledges he finds her intriguing - she seems to know specifics of which are deep information.

"I know there are a lot of creatures that hide in the shadows, I know that there are a lot of projects going on in the city beneath the layers people look at, I know a lot of things, some things I don't even care about, people just tell me...maybe it's just cause people like to talk." She asks if Brian knows a "Goddess of Muses." A man told her another man was burned in relation. Now she asks about a "Morris Pax", a woman who was an EMT and was also burnt. At divulging this, she clarifies she has no involvement in these crimes - she doesn't play the game where she confesses on her own actions. "I don't even know who you are." She gives another laugh. She already has "all the keys to my own freedom...I don't build plans without escape hatches."

She describes herself as bored again, gives her dominoes analogy, and calls herself the "Agent of Chaos". Point blank Brian requests her name. She introduces herself as Chastity Dawes. Brian links her name to illegal activities in her past and paces a few seconds, puffing on his cigarette. He hands over an extra to Chastity.

"Why do you stab people?" "They were part of an art project - the 22. But really, it was an excuse for a game, the game of catch-tag / cops and robbers...I could stab 10 people a day in this city and not once get convicted." All that is needed is a face cover and masked voice, boring per Chastity. When she stabs people, she is able to actually feel. Her type? Not really woman, as they're already targets enough already in LS. Men are easy to pick up. Yet stabbing is too easy, it's no longer fun. "Even a mighty giant was fell by a single devil." Anticipation is exciting.

Relationship with Smileys? This garners another laugh. The organization didn't have a strong central figure and it fractured. She never was a Smiley; she just used them. Brian asks if she's taken any of their contracts. Another laugh, now she asks Brian what he knows the Smileys are. Brian gives his view. She gives a name: Jonathan Right(?). Who? Chastity says they don't deal in contracts, and the Smileys and Scarecrows groups are completely different. The Smileys are such an amorphous organization individual actors are all it runs on: the purpose being anti-atheist. So what about the Scarecrows? Concept of a red herring. They both continue to smoke as they test each other's knowledge on who the Scarecrows are. Brian passes one name over, August is a Scarecrow. No she's not, she's barely even a Smiley, is the return. Coop Holiday is a Smiley, she says. Wait, I wanted a Scarecrow's name, says Brian. Oh - "there are no real Scarecrows...but I've worn a Scarecrow mask and I'm not even a Smiley." She confirms no contracts accepted from her. Kylie Winters' name is brought up by Brian. She was the first to tell Chastity of something(?). So why did Kylie say Chastity herself picked up contracts? Oh, that was before the Smileys, back when a man named Simon was alive. Kylie believed herself the arbiter of contracts. Who's to believe? Maybe there's a discrepancy on the definition of 'contracts'.

I don't care what you do, states Brian. He focuses on the puzzles and how everything ties in to everything else. Truth all to an extent. Back to talk on Dwayne. "Puppet king," says Chastity. She finds him interesting that he fakes his death and has several aliases. Chastity says her interest lies in looking into the shadows. She offers her services. Brian says nothing at this time. They both say the other is entertaining and part peacefully.

Chastity calls, she asks for Trooper Andrews' number and then asks if there is a man with a red mask at Mission Row. She was told there were some tweets indicating maybe one of her associates/friends might be getting a 51-50. Doesn't know number, and will talk later, independently.

Chasity. Brian, Baas, and AJ speak on Tobi Argent and Chasity Dawes. Chasity requests to talk with Brian later.

Baas explains how the PD picked up Chasity earlier - she's associated with a face mask of a Smiley, the same as described by the hostages in the earlier situation at the airfield. Timing is too perfect, Baas thinks.

On the hunt for Jasper / the viking guy Brian spots plates that return to Chasity. Brian can see a smiley mask through the back window. Sirens - the person in the back shoves their hat and mask under the seat quickly. Chasity was driving and Brian pulls her aside - what do you know about someone named Jasper? The other guy in the car is Tobi. She says she did drop the note off, but a man on a motorcycle made her do it - all black outfit. She doesn't have Jasper's number. She reads the whole note. Across the street is a motorcycle, nah, it's been there this whole time. Back and forth on the number. She says the guy on the phone sounded like a Scarecrow. Brian keeps saying she's lying. New note found, Brian learns listening to the radio. Leads to the lighthouse.

Chasity calls. She claims again she knows nothing of Jasper. What about the Smileys, why were you hanging out with Tobi who wore a Smiley mask? She declines. She wants to know why some people are up in Parsons.

On arrival, a woman wears a tiger mask, interesting. It's Chasity, interesting again. Another guy is nearby wearing full black and a black helmet - he says his name is "Michael" while Brian thinks this might be Tobi. He takes his helmet off: black glasses and an eyepatch and Brian cannot definitively tell if it is Tobi. Brian asks if they've spoken before. At the Vinewood Bowl prior.

Woman in blue hair stabs two people in a video. Brian and Vale review. Sounds like Chasity. Who's the cameraman?

Brian tells Forcer he's friends with Chasity - although not all given info is true, she does still give info, some useful if read correctly. Chasity may be working against the Smileys now. There was a disconnect a while ago and the group(s) broke apart. Forcer says Kenneth was the Scarecrow, Chasity was the tarot cards, and someone else, and they had all worked together. A decent sized subset of LS are supposedly Smileys. Forcer and Brian talk some more on the Smileys and related people.

Chasity calls - she says Joshua kidnapped and shot Tobi Argent: then murder kitty took them both out. Within the last 24 hours. Tobi has DID. Apparently she wants some focus on them because "nobody else seems to give a fuck" and that she is after the Smileys because "Mr. Smiley tried to put a hit on me and I don't like that he lies to me; I don't like liars". When does it end, your feud with the Smileys? "Oh, it's done right now; Smileys in Parsons and... his group is falling to pieces as he sits there and rots, and it's hilarious. Joshua Wade I stole away from Smiley a long ass time ago - Joshua Wade would do anything I told him, up to and probably including harming Smiley...but, this is a third personality that I don't know that doesn't like me very much and apparently doesn't like Tobi very much either."

"Women are attracted to men who ignore them," Brian provides some useful clarifying input. Chasity disagrees. But maybe he is pretending. Chasity says she can tell when it's Fug, one of the personalities of Joshua. According to Chasity, if Tobi dies, and Joshua walks free, "that's not going to be pretty for anyone involved because Tobi has a lot of friends." Well not pretty for Joshua Wade, specifically. Which would leave Chasity by herself.

Brian speaks to Forcer about Chasity and the situation.

Joshua Wade tweets "hi" so Chasity calls. He's out of ICU apparently and the PD wasn't able to keep him on hold. She's been trying ever since he went in, 18 hours ago, to keep him contained so she's a little frustrated Clarence or other members of the PD didn't restrict him from freely walking out of Pillbox.

[Crossover with Dark Web and Illuminati.]

Brian and Forcer go undercover and meet with David. He says he recently was legal representation for Joshua Wade - earlier that day Wade was still in the hospital. David had figured Joshua and Chasity were good friends, yet it seems Chasity was the one that led to his ICU. He knows "quite a bit" on Wade. David also met someone else, Tobi Argent. He takes a few steps back due to concern that Forcer will punch him, as she apparently did the last time he spoke on Tobi. Joshua seems to think something has happened to Tobi - yet, he refuses to give further information to David.

The reason he is here is because of Chasity Dawes - he has what he believes is the "nail in the coffin". It's a sensitive topic for Lauren, this talk on Chasity.

Brian mentions the Reverend and learns that David has some "unresolved issues" with the man. Brian gives intel that the Reverend stabbed a government employee that morning - he really doesn't like being watched. The funny thing about religion, it's sometimes simply a means to an end... An Adam Prince tweets and David wonders if this is the Prince he seeks. It's possible. Brian calls Forcer back so she can learn what David has concerning Chasity.

David and Brian meet. "Mr. Jesperson," David begins, "was recently released from Parsons. One of his friends, Joshua Wade...this has to stay between you and I...he wants to come clean". Wade has a new lawyer, Tidas. David claims Chastity is a good friend. Wade was the cameraman for several of Chastity's murders/artworks. Now, Wade is willing to accept a plea deal as there is a target on his back. Tidas had reached out to David, who redirected him to Brian. There's a sound of a passing vehicle; Brian checks the area before returning inside. David warned Tidas of the situation, and the new lawyer is "very worried" because of the associations with Mr. Smiley and Chastity.

"Also, someone else is missing - Tobi Argent." Isn't he in the hospital though, asks Brian. Wade's mask gives him safety with his DID, but his mask is currently misplaced... David continues on to say the murderer of Tobi called him earlier. Brian tells of the 3 personalities he knows of Tobi and some other information given to him by Chastity. David does not give the name of the person claiming to be the murderer, yet does say the name is not Wade. Quick break to confirm schedules with the PD. Explain the call, requests Brian, what was the purpose of the call? The relationship: someone in the background seemed to think the caller shouldn't be saying what he/she did over the phone and to David. Once we know the name we should then understand. Okay, what would it take to get the name? Wait, shh, do you hear that knocking? They decide it must be the creaky old motel. There's the sound of a car though... Brian scopes.

They strike some form of agreement: David wants the VPNs in exchange for giving the murderer name of Tobi to Brian.

Brian spots a man stumbling on his feet and pulls off the road to see if he requires assistance - turns out it's Tidus, who David mentioned earlier. Brian offers to drive him to a hospital as he seems quite drunk.

Brian updates Snow on the whole DW ESB VPN situation, David, Chastity, Wade, Tobi... Snow gives some information he has on the DW. Caesar = David; the Brotherhood = the Reverend, Dragon = Chang. Brian tells that Choi knows about the cassettes, and also updates Snow on the situation with Jasper, the DW, and Illuminati. Brian brings up the dangerous curiosity of others not involved in investigations.

Speaks with Lauren. Jesperson, Wade, lawyer, David, Tidus, CI, Chastity, plea deal for Wade, Tobi's third troublesome personality...name of murderer of Argent, tarot card in Sandy Shores, Chastity, ICU multiple times, Larry, Chastity is main subject for murder..."this whole thing is fucked," says Forcer. Our CI (David) may bring up a different name for the murderer, however.

Lauren points to MDT report #4353. Chastity also may have a copycat killer now b/c there was a body found with a tarot card or something...great.

Hey, it's Tidus in MRPD. Brian and him will speak later.

Brian meets with Stonefinger, who says he's been in contact with Chastity, who has given him information. Also a mention of Forcer. Stonefinger feels Chastity trusts him. And Mr. Smiley... so he has a few info lines, and is willing to share some with Brian. He has to be careful to not burn bridges though.

Brian meets with Chastity; topic moves to Tobi - he hasn't been seen in a week, Chastity says. Relationship with you and Joshua? He's unpredictable and uncontrollable now, replies Chastity, and she gives a more in-depth description of his personalities. She reiterates she doesn't know where Tobi is now, who she claims is her son.

"Why do you talk to me, Brian?" "Same reasons I talk to every other fucked up person; I find it interesting." "Do you believe in redemption? Do you think monsters can be redeemed?" She speaks on lack of opportunity for her own redemption arc. Seems like she wants to mass control most if not all the vigilantes in the city - if it can be "done skillfully". What's her idea on 'redemption' here, exactly? Strangely familiar to a previous intention held by the Smileys perhaps...

Alexandra Moroz calls about a mysterious present left at her house by her stalker. Vale and other PD members haven't been responding to her 911s. Brian says all officers are busy and recommends going to MRPD.

Brian updates Snow and Copper the latest on Jasper and Chastity.

Brian has a meet with David, and the conversation steers itself eventually to Chastity. Brian is given a name of a person he promises do what he can in his power to protect and ensure he lives - after seeing the name, Brian wonders about Chastity. Moroz and Chastity are working together, says David - Moroz has power over Chastity. Since Moroz came around, Chastity has been different, manipulated... She was happy and living life with Tobi; her son being her will to live. Then, Moroz entered the scene and Tobi is now missing...highly suspicious, considers David. David wants to distance Chastity from Moroz; Brian says he'll see what he can do. So Brian has a choice in front of him: David or Chastity.

Brian views a video given by David - it's a stabbing of a person by Chastity with Mr. Smiley, someone in all black, and a cameraman all in attendance. Brian checks out a few other videos in the folder: illegal activity like more stabbings, sandings - with multiple instances of name dropping, etc. Shit. A good amount of footage here...

Brian is told Chastity just attempted suicide by jumping off a cliff. Dr. Thatch was in session with Chastity and Moroz at the time. Only past occurrences were discussed. Brian pushes for a mental hold and is quick to offer his official sign off for a 51-50 for Chastity.

Call from Moroz - "I need you in the back ward of the hospital at your earliest convenience...I'm looking at Chastity Dawes who would like to speak with you." Seconds later, new call, "Actually, nevermind." Um.

Brian checks Pillbox with Dr. Thatch for Chastity. Seems she was already moved to the ICU so cannot talk now unfortunately.

Chastity claims she slipped on the mountain and didn't jump. Clarkson is Wade's son? Anyway. Alex Moroz, she says, is crazy and thinks people are trying to kill Chastity. Why are you still hanging out with her, Brian asks. Chastity seems to have been forced into a girlfriend relationship with Moroz. Back to the cliff - she apparently wanted to send herself to the ICU for a few days and planned her fall. She had sent a text to Brian to not think too deeply into the situation as she learned through Thatch Brian may be seeking to admit her into Parsons. She again remarks she's not lying. As they part, Brian yells out, "later babe!" within earshot of Moroz. Chastity limps over and hugs Brian, returning the same phrase.

Copleone later says he discovered Moroz as "very fishy, doesn't trust anyone" when he was investigating the taco shop.

The next day, Chastity says Tobi is still missing. She gives her story again about when Tobi and Wade were both admitted to the ICU. Tobi checked himself out of the ICU without contacting Chastity, and she now says she believes Wade's personality Tog(?) may have killed Tobi. She almost mentions something else yet decides not to, instead hanging up the phone.

Baas overhears Brian talking to Chastity on the phone, and gives some of his own information after the call - Tobi's laying low with a disguise and avoiding Chastity.

Lawyer Tidus wants to speak with Brian. Out comes the notebook; one client of his is willing to cooperate with the PD in exchange for a reduced sentence. The unnamed client has been involved in situations which required him to film illegal activity. Forcer is aware of this client's identity. The DA office needs to be brought into the conversation, they agree.

Tidus now states he fears for his life - he believes he has found himself associated with quite dangerous people. He also requests witness protection for his client. David Watcher wanted Tidus to reach out to Brian... Tidus now hints at the dark web, which Brian doesn't acknowledge as recognizing. The lawyer paces back and forth nervously as he admits to participating in the DW scavenger hunt. "They seem to know everything, and I'm afraid of what kinda influence they could have on me. And I worry about the connections between that, and the client I told you about...because my client has told me one thing that is very concerning to me, which is that as much as I've given you all that information that he wants me to do, he has told me that he may chose not to. And from some questions that I have asked him, that's going to be decided not by him, but by someone else. And I worry that the person making that decision...I kind of want to bring that to police attention." He further says David holds the power if the client cooperates or not - and Tidus sees this as a problem. He's worried if he places a foot wrong, he and his family, along with his family's reputation, would be in danger from certain groups. He fears manipulation per information that could be leaked from his past and then promptly proceeds to tell Brian the dirt anyway. They thank each other for the conversation and part.

Woman using walking assistance in Pillbox "because of Chastity". She also mentions Petunia, who she says told her about the relationship of Chasity with Moroz. An EMT tells Brian she has information on the Smileys - Brian redirects her to Forcer. Brian reviews a MDT report regarding Jonathen Sheperd: 'Josh', snuff films, 3 men in black motorcycle gear assaulted him, one of whom put on a Smiley mask.

Brian and Baas talk - Chasity is now working with Jasper, along with Wade. We need to push to close some of this shit and bring in at least one of them soon.

The next day, Brian speaks with Forcer in the FIB building. He references the new VHS "Betty" tape and how Chasity and Jasper are now working together. Several investigations have now met - we need to bring at least one to a close. Forcer states she hasn't had much luck thus far with the DA concerning Chasity. Talk on Jasper. Talk on evidence. Jasper is using Chasity, she tried to end her life, something happened with her and Tobi... Back to discussion on the problem with DA Larry. Maybe it's a matter of priority? Forcer speaks on what she has per her investigation on Chasity. She returns to talking on David and his presence as Chasity's lawyer; she's hung up on this now. David tortured Skid, she says??

Report in MDT on Snuff Film Productions videos. Dude named Kyle says a guy in a suit gave him a link via text to a video of someone being burnt in the Yellow Jack. It's the "Betty" video.

Brian checks his text messages - threats to share snuff films. One of the texts is from Choi.

Chasity calls. Nah, we're busy, we're dealing with another serial killer at the moment, wait your turn.

Chasity calls; she didn't expect Brian to be awake. Brian talks about the potential riot about to erupt over who's the mayor and it's silent on Chasity's end of the line. Chasity? Oh, technical difficulties. They plan to meet. What for, again? Maybe Jasper? Chasity claims she can bring him in. What does she gain in this deal, Brian wonders. And is she working with the Consequences group as well? What are her connections?

Chasity calls: she says Curtis Swoleroid kidnapped, stabbed, and cut a finger of David. She says she tried to alert the PD when David was missing yet they didn't acknowledge it. Brian finds the report in the MDT she's referencing: ID #4552. Seems Ripley is handling this, says Brian. She starts to almost cry - there's a lot of people after her and Curtis threatened her life. Brian radios to Ripley to find out the report had been forwarded to Forcer.

Brian forwards details of Smileys activity to Forcer's investigation packet.

Brian tells Baas that Chasity claims to want to give up Jasper - but how far can we trust her... And who are these Consequences people exactly? So many killers and groups intermingle now...

Brian talks to Rhodes about Moroz.

Raymond Porter, of Weazel News, says he was given a phone call which led to a VHS tape labeled "Sandy Waters".

Brian and Ray meet. Rose Morsen(?), contracted under Ray and also a DOC, joins. Ray gives the rundown of the discovery of the tape. "Your journey starts here, no need to fear" on a note. Brian notes Forcer and Baas as other PD members who the journalists can inform of similar activity.

Checking out the film - it's SNUFF FILM PRODUCTIONS again. "Episode 3 - Sandy Waters". Looks to be Chasity...Brian sends to JTF.

Chasity speaks with Brian near MRPD: she says people are talking about Jasper and talking with Nikki. She received a text from Jasper earlier today and learned that a cop spoke with Nikki. Chasity claims she's protecting Nikki. She totally doesn't seem to suspect a thing... [Refer "Satanic Rituals"]

Brian updates Baas about Nikki's latest actions despite his warnings. Nikki questioning Jasper led to the killer confiding in Chasity, who traveled to the MRPD about it. Quite a bit of interest here in keeping Nikki in the dark of their activities. Dan joins the two. All three to not say anything about Nikki Rivers. Undercover time. Brian brings Dan up to speed on the investigation and the connections we know between Jasper, Chasity, and Nikki. Apparently Jasper made a visit to Pillbox yesterday - yet the doctor's kept their patient under confidentiality. Dan says Mickey has found every single tape before the PD? He "finds them at the locations"? What? So just accessibility. Some more discussion.

While investigating for Jasper, Choi radios to a channel that Chasity just added a victim to her list, Chris Robinson.

Brian and Baas sidebar. "Chasity and Four Tee are working with Jasper." Ant just told him; she had gone to the docks and saw Chasity leaving Robinson's stabbed body.

Choi has more information on Chasity and Four Tee in regards to Pillbox.

Chasity calls - "you should really focus on Jasper right now". She sees a matter of priority difference as some cops are doing trivial tasks. She cares for Ant and Nikki. Kraytor told Chasity about Jasper and Ant. Chasity's not happy Nikki heard one of Jasper's tapes. Why the focus on Jasper? Why now? She returns to her phrase, "I'm trying to change". She wants a trial, she wants caught. How does this fit with Jasper? "Me bored, me entertaining myself in the meantime." Amusement led her to approach MRPD earlier, interesting. Back to talk on protecting Nikki. But are you really shielding her, Brian says. If you get caught like you say you wish, what's that gonna do to Nikki? She's helping Jasper as he wants caught as well. Damn all these serial killers want caught but none are willing to walk up the steps of MRPD. Seems like it would be a win-win.

After the call, Andi exclaims in surprise: Chasity was buddy-buddy with Jasper just moments ago. The hell she wants him to get caught? None of this makes much sense... Text from Jasper to Baas - a clue. Back to discussion on the radio of what we can even do besides follow Jasper's plan.

[Refer Satanic, DW, Illuminati] Brian and Baas interview Andi. She passes over a detailed document of her recording her interactions with Jasper. Andi says she can differentiate Jasper's voice from Joshua Wade's, and that there is a union of serial killers who all seem to look up to Chasity. A Thomas Dwayne also knows quite a bit, she's figured, and looks into these serial killers. Dwayne told Andi Jasper is dangerous and is known as the "cassette tape killer" - where he got that information, Andi does not know. Andi says Doctor Choi and Thomas Dwayne are close; included in their group is Flop Dugong, and maybe Bryce Miller and Izzy Carrington. When the Reverend, the chicken man, and Jasper started noticing her, Flop brought her to talk to Dwyane - but about Mr. Smiley. She met Mr. Smiley in the past, who seems close with Joshua Wade, who makes snuff films. She further says Jasper was a part of Chasity's group then later was himself hunted by Chasity's union. There was some laughter shared between Chasity and Jasper yesterday though so their current relationship is unknown. Brian and Baas recommend Andi stay low-key and stick with people she trusts. Chasity's killer union might have an agreement that Andi is off the table as a victim, but like that's trustable.

Chasity tweet, Brian notes.

Mickey says he has info on Jasper, Chasity, and a group called "Consequences".

Baas tells of finding Chasity's dead body. She was found in a display of crossed arms and multiple bullet holes.

Brian's given a note: it reads, "i know who killed Chasity'. It was given to Brian by dispatch, who got it from Andi who solved it, who got it from a text message from Tobi.

Phone call from someone who says it's been about 2 months since he and Brian have talked. He wants to know what happened in Chasity's final moments - he says other people who also want the information of what happened to Chasity are being "more bloody" about it. He remarks on the link between Chasity and Jasper. For the sake of a name, he requests to be called "Hera". "I stopped Chasity from attacking about 6-8 different people. I wouldn't necessarily say I worked with her; I made deliberate attempts to keep her alive." He says everyone's human and makes mistakes - Brian says fuck that, she's a serial killer. The guy sighs and hangs up. Hmm. Seconds later, Brian's cell rings: same guy, says he was interrupted by someone. Hera claims Chasity wanted to die and those who killed her gave her exactly what she wanted. Rather, it was a far greater punishment to keep her alive. Yet if she truly wanted to die, why did she defend herself in court? The response is that the DOJ is unreliable. Brian brings up the firing squad that carried out the death penalty imposed less than a week ago for someone else. Talk on an unknown third party that entered Chasity's life and took many of her falls in her place. This guy wants a lead and doesn't want to speak to Jasper to get it. He refers to having attempted execution of Jasper prior as he considers Jasper a psychopath who enjoys the torture and cares only for himself. He also mentions a previous Parsons incident that involved Kenneth Jesperson - Hera does not see the actions from that night as "just" or "holy". On Jasper, Hera says "the only thing that will do him justice is a 45 caliber bullet placed between the eyes, and I already tried that once". Dude really has an agenda, really wants a lead. He lists some people he has as possible suspects for the death of Chasity: Alexandra Moroz: likes guns. Kenneth Jesperson: known to have wanted to kill Chasity because she leaked information on the Smileys. Tobi Argent: Chasity once attacked him. Thomas Dwyane: considered definite suspect. Gemma Knight: suspect. Also a group who calls themselves "The Order" who dress in suits. Selene Nightingale. Matilda Adams. The Lunatics. There's a call for an officer down - we'll continue the conversation later.

Brian motions for Baas to meet - he very briefly tells of the phone call from earlier.

Hera calls. Information is requested in turn for him to not return to old habits of killing. Thomas Dwayne maybe killed Chasity? Kenneth Jesperson? Alexandra Moroz? And some other people mentioned before. Talk on justice and DOJ. Apparently more killers are emerging from the shadows since Chasity's death.

Months later, Flop tells about Dwayne's true colors. Apparently Dwayne also was the one to shoot Chasity. According to Flop the original intent of the Illuminati group was to work as an informant source for the PD yet as time progresses became more violent.

#### **[ARC] - Satanic Rituals**

**Satanic Rituals / Hail Satan / Manila Envelope**

-[MikeHorrorible] as "Jasper Saxon" / The Cassette Killer

**Through the contents of several briefcases and manila envelopes with cassette tapes, Brian finds himself in the middle of an investigation of a killer - one who enjoys the thrill and serves the devil.**

Brian and Brenda investigate a house robbery call: Sarah's house. Also present is Madison Pratt. The description given by Madison is that a weird man with a creepy voice had broken in wielding a knife.

Clarence hands Brian a manila envelope he received from a homeless woman at Mission Row. Brian opens the envelope next to Brenda - inside are three photographs of the inside of a house, with apparent blood. Within one photo the blood is shaped into a star with two circles. Words are written on the photos: "YOU COULD HAVE SAVED THEM". Brian takes some time to speak to Brenda about investigations, in general, and how to approach them. Brian also shares this with Baas.

The following day, Brian speaks with Windsong after responding to a call.

Later, a woman gives Brian a briefcase outside MRPD - inside the briefcase is a photo of a black silhouette in the background covered in flames. Words written on this one: "I HAVE A LEGACY TO FULFILL, AND IT WILL BE FULFILLED". Aside the photo is a cassette tape labeled "ToKnight".

Brian plays the tape. He hears the words as seen below, and the sound of pouring gas is heard nearing the end. A woman is in the background, crying out in pain. On the narrator's last words, Brian hears the sound of a cigarette lighter being lit, followed by the woman's scream of terror and pain as she is set on fire.

*"Hello Officer Knight and any other officers that have decided to involve themselves with this investigation. I hope you received my last package... My name is... well... my name isn't important. What IS important is my mission... my purpose. Do you have a purpose officer? A mission? To protect and serve the innocent lives of Los Santos? Well you're doing quite a good job wouldn't you say? The PD has been so pre-occupied with putting money over lives. Why am I still out here? How many innocent people need to be sacrificed? How much blood must taint my blade. It's not like I'm hiding... I mean I literally stabbed that Hippie chick at her dispensary in broad daylight. Oh... I wonder if she made it... But I digress... I do wish you were here to witness this.*

*Hey you called them right? Told them it was urgent? Another masked man wielding a deadly weapon breaking into houses in Vinewood? Oh I'm sure they're on their way.*

*Alas let us begin. Before the mighty and ineffable prince of darkness, and in presence of all the dead demons of the pit, I proclaim that Satan-lucifer rules the earth and I ratify and renew my promise to recognize and honor him in all things without reservation, desiring in return his manifold assistance in the successful completion of my endeavors and the fulfillment of my desires. Bless me your humble messenger and allow me to demonstrate through written record an instruction to pour the wages of hell upon those believers and followers of satanic wisdom. Hail Satan"*

Brian thinks back to last night; events from then seem to be related.

Next day, the same woman passes off another briefcase to Brian. After a short chat, Brian hands over $500 as a nice gesture. Inside Mission Row, he opens the briefcase to find its bloody contents: a cassette tape labeled "DESIRES", 3 photos of people tied up, a knife, and a plastic bag labeled "Lil Piggies" with what appears to be severed fingers. Time to play the tape.

Essentially, the narrator [I'm not transcribing the entire 3 minute 29 second track] remarks on the lack of interruptions that he/she have had. Criminals may not fear the police, but they do fear him/her. "I've always had the desire to inflict pain on others...with pain you control the agony...oh how I love the terror in their eyes as they scream for mercy as they beg for a quick death..." The sound of someone sharpening a knife. The narrator turns and speaks momentarily to another in the room, a man heard in the background crying in pain. "Give me your hand," he/she says, "I'm but a messenger, a servant". The police are to blame. The narrator cuts off the man's fingers, happily singing the rhyme This Little Piggy, then becomes frustrated at the man's incessant screaming - in an effort to quiet him down, he/she stabs the man multiple times until the screams go eerily silent. Now he/she seems to realize what he/she just did, "oh, shit..." The tape ends.

Brian checks the knife - it's about 2 weeks old, maybe older.

Upon leaving his apartment for shift in the morning, Brian sees a box left for him: inside is another cassette tape, labeled "Bees," a photo of an empty wooden building with someone's feet hanging, a knife, and a rope. All covered in blood. Brian listens to the tape.

The narrator says this is the package that brings others onto the same page. There are 3 other cops in the loop now. 4 packages were sent out, 3 props, and 1 the real deal. Brian's box says "PROP BOX". He says the first officer was lucky - crossed paths with a Madison Pratt in Vinewood. The narrator sounds excited, he remarks on the silence in the video. There's the static of the recording device, or perhaps it's rain, maybe it's bees, but there are no screams or whimpers of pain. The narrator moves closer to his recent victim, and a deep voice is now heard: "Get that fucking recorder out of my face." This victim is stoic and just sounds pissed rather than frightened. "I'm going to make an example out of you..." The narrator likes this victim more and calls him "fun". "I was born with the devil in me, I cannot help that I'm a murderer." The narrator wonders on what topic should be; the stoic victim is heard in the background, "oh you've gotta be kidding me..." Narrator chooses to speak on bees - "both tend to sting to defend their nest, and on the attack, when they're provoked, or feel threatened, much like our guy here, who actually attempted to fight back...one of the most feared animals on the planet." After he concludes his bee story, he turns to ask the stoic victim how it was to the response, "go to hell". "That's the idea, isn't it? To serve the Dark Lord...are you allergic to bees, officer?" Apparently the stoic victim is standing on a chair, hands bound in front of him, attached to a rafter. Narrator says he'll give the man his knife and watch if the victim can cut the rope in time. "So then give me the damn knife," stoic guy is blunt. Just a moment, says Narrator, I will, you'll just have to "pull it out of your fucking neck". SLASH, sounds of a knife crudely slicing through a the neck and then blood, etc. dripping onto the ground. The cassette ends.

So who are the other officers? And one of them has the actual box of evidence, rather than prop materials. Brian decides to ask the entire online cop force if anyone is into bees over the radio. No one this shift apparently.

Baas is one of the other officers in the know - he has the packages now. Brian thinks perhaps "BEES" = Brian Knight himself, Sam Baas, which would leave possibly two "E" names left. Baas unfortunately also received a prop box. Brian tells of when he answered a call about robbing houses in Vinewood with Brenda and meeting Madison. Brian and Baas take a closer look at their box contents. Unsub breaks into houses, works at night, hails Satan, enjoys killing his victims with a recorder running, and enjoys giving his victims a false sense of hope. Baas pulls up the PD roster. Emily Reinhart, Elias Pinzone, Ekaterina Alekseyevna, Emma Dupont, Matthew Espinoz?

A few days later in the CID building, Baas updates Brian and Dante. Apparently Forcer knows the identities of all four officers given boxes: Brian, Baas, Forcer, and Winters. All four are referenced in one of the unsub's stories. Baas recommends Brian takes a listen to this track. There may be another hit next week. Forcer wants more communication between the PD. But how would we have known she was involved to begin communication?

Brian reads an email from this morning aloud, "Brian, over the last couple weeks packages have been showing up at Mission Row PD. The packages contain body parts, weapons, and cassette tapes. Four officers in total have been given these cases: myself, Baas, Winters, and Knight. Understand that the psychopath wants everyone wants to keep information to themselves, but that not how we work as a department. Any information that you have would be much appreciated. I'm sure I have the information that you might be missing. We shouldn't be working on these cases alone. It can be incredibly overwhelming taking on too much. We need to start helping each other. When you have time, can you fill out this report."

She seems to think we knew she was involved? Baas reveals she attempted to talk to him about it in the open right in front of the PD; he tried to play it off. Baas now suggests Brian listen to the newest cassette tape - Dante says it's "creepy as hell".

JTF wants everyone to work together, says Baas. Brian and Baas want to keep the investigative work on this case limited to just the chosen four rather than the entire department; there is liability involving more people than necessary.

Brian suggests they email Snow for advice on how to proceed. What is interesting in Winters - we haven't seen her on duty in a while. Why us, why were we chosen?

Brian speaks to Snow about why Forcer has the impression to involve the entire PD. Plus how to further investigate. Brian gives his idea and why he would like to keep the report and investigative work to only a select few, then also suggests he be the lead on this particular case as he seemed to be the original PD recipient. Talk on bandwidth of resources with investigations and secure communications. Snow gives Brian formal access to the Task Force channels within PD on Discordia.

Baas joins; he brings up communication, etc. A call over dispatch cuts the conversation with Snow short but Brian and Baas continue speaking in the car.

Brian reviews the autobiography book labeled "J" given. Alongside the book in the envelope is another cassette tape. First, the cassette: the narrator begins by apologizing for the "lack of murder" and then says he has decided to share part of his autobiography.

*Well hello there officers. You're probably confused about the cleanliness of todays package. Usually my box of goodies are... so messy... blood and whatnot. Today though... today is different. I'd like to apologize up front... for the lack of murder that takes place during this tape. So if you sickos were looking forward to this... you'll have to get your fix elsewhere. Even I get tired of all the slaughter... all the death... the chaos in the name of Lucifer. I needed a break this week...*

*So... before you is a little something I put together. Ya'know, I feel like this investigation could go on for quite some time... and if I'm going to be spending so much time in your thoughts and nightmares... it'd probably help that you get to know me. So today I wanted to read and illustrate to you a chapter of my autobiography... about when I thought I was happy and in love. Just a small chapter of my life to help you piece together and better understand this puzzle that I've dropped at your feet. Don't worry about reading it yourself, Just follow along, i'll be playing you the audio-book.*

Following giving some of his backstory, the narrator promises the next week's package will be "twice as bloody...a double feature even".

*I do hope this holds you all over for now. I'll try and make sure that next weeks package is twice as bloody to make up for it. Maybe a double feature even. That is... unless you guys catch me before then. Hail... Satan...*

Brian takes out his headphones and talks again to Baas. Knight, Winters, Baas, Forcer - referenced. Why is he involving PD? Perhaps he wants people to know his story and enjoys the thrill of the chase. What's with the "J"? What did he mean by "BEES"? Brian and Baas' original theory that the letters indicate names seems to be incorrect. Wait a minute, the first box was labeled "TOKNIGHT" - why did no-one approach Brian then? Maybe their connection is that they're burn victims? Brian evaluates the order of the packages/boxes. Baas suggests maybe everyone in the city are like bees, and then there are special African killer bees? "J" for Joker? "J" for "junior year"? "J" for a name?

The next day, Brian answers a call: it's a private number. The voice of the narrator is heard - "just out of curiosity, are you interested in buying a house? ...Tie up some loose ends and whatnot...You should probably find her before I do!"

No recent 911 calls that seem relevant. Someone in real estate? Madison? Makes a few phone calls. Brian finally gets into contact with Madison Pratt - she's going to Sandy Shores. Brian says nah, you're not, your life is in danger, ping me, and stay on the phone. She says she was just about to meet someone. They meet, she joins Brian in the cop car, and Brian asks a series of questions after she questions the legitimacy of his credentials. She keeps rambling, seemingly oblivious, as Brian attempts to get basic details of her set meeting with a random guy soon. Finally a name and number: Jasper, 4155631984. What was said in the call? He wanted to buy a house. Brian reminds her to keep this confidential, for the safety of herself and her clients. After joining in her rambling for a bit, Brian convinces her to help him find more information. The narrator had wanted the cheapest house available, so they devise a plan for her to call him with a property suggestion and location to meet up. She asks about their target - Brian passes along the idea that he is being used by someone else, kinda irrelevant, nothing to worry about, just want to note his appearance. "I've seen his face, if it's the same man that broke into my house I was decorating that one time...it didn't sound like the same man." Brian is excited. They arrive to the house, a little blue one, and she casually opens the passenger door and steps out, warranting a yell from Brian.

Recap that night, the one you met that guy. She was decorating Sarah's house and heard a weird Tigger voice - she asked him to talk. Goggles and a bandana covered his face and he said something along the lines of "wanting to kill everyone inside who lived there". His face was hideous when he removed the bandana; Madison recommended her plastic surgeon. Looked like Voldemort. Scar or tattoo on his face that resembled a skull. Oh, and he had a knife. He moved on to the next house and she gave her statement to the cops. Caucasian, definitely not tan. Face was "inhuman, in a way". He was wearing all-black clothing with a fake leather jacket and hood.

As she doesn't recall saving his number as "Jasper" in her phone, it seems he has been a contact for a while. She thinks back, a few months ago there was a phone call that creeped her out - he said something about "her being too greedy and having to pay". The voice was distinguishable.

She's been engaged thrice before. Then she seems to hit on Brian, he seems to have money, who changes out of his police outfit and takes out an unmarked car. Back to the blue house and they park in a garage nearby. Brian instructs Madison to call the guy to lure him to them - she is to stay inside the car the entire time.

She dials the number. After some small talk, she asks if there is crying in the background - Brian puts his foot on the pedal for Sarah's house as Madison stays on the phone. After she hangs up, Madison says a woman was sobbing in the background. Call Sarah. As she speaks, Brian scopes the outside area with an AR drawn. Madison strolls around freely chatting on the phone as Brian calls 78s to his 20. ? and Brenda show. Sarah and a man show - "fuck this," they say as they enter the house, paying no heed to the PD's warnings. Guess we're breaching! Clear, code 4. Brian notifies over the PD radio someone somewhere is being tortured/murdered.

Phone rings again. PN. "Remember, when I said, that even I like playing games [manically laughs] - hey wait, did you find her, Officer Knight? A Ms. Pratt, of course. Is she okay? It usually doesn't take a real estate agent an hour and a half to get back to me so...should really hurry this up, Mr. Knight. Who do I have [he repeats Brian's question]? You'll find out on the next tape". Manically laughs and hangs up.

A realtor is hostage. What vacancies are there? Brian updates the PD - the woman has a timer on her head. Maybe Claudia, suggests Madison, who sits alongside Brian in the car as they drive to Sandy Shores. Brian reminds of the severity. They arrive to the first vacancy, a trailer park house. Brian makes Madison stay in the car as he approaches Copper and updates the trooper with a short recap. Madison checks, this was actually sold; the books weren't updated properly. Okay, next, need a vacancy near a payphone. Brian and Madison brainstorm, checking out a few locations. A clown gets pulled over, Happy Dklown. He was her assistant at one point, at least until she fired him. Happy is now a suspect. Number in her phone doesn't match the other guy's. More houses empty. Sarah calls, she's curious.

Brian meets with Copper and Toretti. Madison expresses unease, she has information but isn't too comfortable sharing, as client confidentiality. Sarah has a hidden torture chamber in her house and an apartment in the southside. Brian calls Sarah - earlier, when they cleared the house, she checked that hidden area as well as another hidden area: they were both empty.

Ripley says he may have seen Rose's name in the yellow pages. She's another real estate agent. "Robert Locksley" is another realtor. PD discusses. Back in the car with Madison. A person! Nah, just Stacey.

Maybe it's all a game - maybe the unsub doesn't have anyone right now. All the clues point to Madison, who seems to be the original target, yet she's here. Maybe they're just chasing him, rather than him and a victim. Is he toying with Brian? Possibly...but what if he's not?

Brian drops Madison back off at her car, which he makes sure is clear before they part. Then, she calls - Happy is at her house and it seems suspicious. Brian changes his destination to her house. There, Happy says he's just checking her pool. Def sus. His phone number, which he provides as 4151826182, isn't Jasper's. As he stands on the edge of the pool, Brian 'accidently' trips, splashing him with water. Damn, makeup stayed on. Happy leaves and Madison gives Brian a spare key to her house. Happy tweets: "Hey Raspy voice guy answer your phone". Inside her house, Brian and Madison talk on Happy and this situation. Tries calling the number Happy gave - not in service / not available! Number was fake. Nevermind, last digit is actually a 9. Let's try again. It's someone who identifies as "Cash Flash" and seems confused as to the call. He confirms he's not Sarah's boyfriend. Taking another look at Twitter, Cash Flash made a tweet just before Happy's. Brian recommends Madison stay away from Happy; he's involved in some manner. They part again.

Following day. Brian wants to know details of patients brought in yesterday - realtors in specific, ICUs, burn victims, etc. Depends on records. Choi is head doctor; Brian will have to meet with her.

The next day, the cassette killer calls. "Officer Knight. Hey, are you currently busy? Oh great wonderful, hey listen, um, I just got an email from co-postal that my packages are either on their way or are delivered to the PD for all three of you guys. Yeah you might wanna...get on that. What? I'm not hurting anybody!"

Brian's informed by Pinzone of a postal man who was hanging around MRPD looking for Brian, Baas, and Forcer for a delivery. Brian freaks and calls Baas over the radio to help. Brian, Baas, and AJ meet up - Brian thinks there are 3 different investigations all with action at once.

At MRPD, Brian approaches a postal man, who says he has three packages, one each for Brian, Baas, and Forcer.

Choi calls, Brian wanted a list of patients in on a certain day, in particular Chris Robinson. She'll have to check the records.

Brian watches a video. The camera slowly pans from overlooking the city to a man dressed in white and black with gloves and a bandana covering his face. It's the same voice as our usual narrator. He decides to show his face to help the chase: his skin is pulled back from his teeth and heavy scars garnish his cheeks and jawline. His eyes were sunken in and burn marks followed from his face all the way down his neck. He speaks on the cameraman - wait, he's not here to make friends, the video feed cuts as the narrator pulls out a weapon, likely a knife, and seemingly kills the operator.

Checks the package, which was a manila envelope endorsed with a black Satan symbol: a note pronouncing Satan as lord and savior, a cassette tape labeled "Confessions", an ID splattered in blood, a piece of paper turned backwards which read "Be P B Eu K Po" and 4 photographs, one of a church and the other 3 of bodies of murdered victims. One of them is Robinson?

Let's take a listen to the tape. It starts with a nice friendly hello and maniacal laugh. He's decided to remove Winters as she hasn't been receiving his deliveries. He feels the need to confess for some reason - 37 'sacrifices' and then demonstrates his excitement for the "taste for death". He sees the PD investigation gives him reason and a way to remember his victims. He asks what the PD finds as the most interesting victim, then says he'll be waiting at the church to "confess". We can hear him introduce himself as he enters the church. Tanner and Jay. Then a click, then the narrator says "a quick chat...before I left him to burn". That death is on another tape, recorded... Now about that double feature. Mumbling that he's scrolling through the yellow pages, says "this works," then rings. It's some guy who works basically for a production company. The narrator requests a recording of a message of him at an observatory. He ends saying he likes to play games, and that he left his number for the PD to call if of interest.

While listening to the tape play, Brian figures out the what was written on the piece of paper from the envelope. Be P B Eu K Po > corresponded to the atomic number for the symbol per the Periodic Table of elements: 4 15 5 63 19 84 > remove spaces: 4155631984. It matches Jasper's number.

Brian immediately calls the narrator after the tape ends. The officer says he's had the number for a few days but cell reception was poor. What about a game of truth or dare? Narrator chooses dare. Come to MRPD. Not too keen. Let's do truth instead, Madison? A distraction. Why these victims? No good answer, just opportunities for crime show: "the entire city, one giant crime scene." Brian calls him Jasper, warranting a collected laugh.

Baas and Brian discuss. Decoys. Yellow pages civilian targets. Uses taxi sometimes, and drives carefully. Need to monitor the yellow page ads, everyone who posts is a possible target.

Brian calls Madison to ask if anything weird has been going on. Not that she knows of.

Observatory seems a common place. Yellow pages has two targets confirmed. We have a face now. Need to build a case rather than picking him up immediately without evidence.

Baas learns the PD may have caught Jasper. Brian and Baas race excitedly to the location. Nah, it's the brown van. It's related to what Baas said earlier is the viking stuff, not Jasper [Refer "Vegvisir"].

Robinson was stabbed a few days ago, but not burned, confirms Choi. Brian to share photos later.

Phone call, it's Jasper. "How quick are you on the draw, Officer Knight? Do you think that, if we met face to face, you could pull and shoot, before I plunge my knife into your chest? I guess we might find out, shall we? Tonight's the night, Knight." Beep. Gonna need to closely monitor all breaking and entering calls... Brian calls Hal, listed on the yp, to save his number and text Brian if any request seems suspicious. Then Cory, no answer. Calls again. Sam. No answer here either. Okay there's an answer. Brian gives same message. Directed at tow/taxi.

A local makes a 311 call: "Some weird guy walking around near PD asking about a knight in shining armor". Brian calls the number - muffled noises are heard, he sounds like he's struggling to say something but was gagged or something obstructing his mouth that didn't allow him to speak. Brian alerts PD. Trip to the fashion boutique - a thicc woman leaves just as Brian enters. Doesn't seem to pertain. Brian gives a short rundown to the PD over radio. The phrase in the 311 references one of the tapes; Brian finds it and hits play. Brian checks the front steps of the court house.

Call from Jasper: "Is it you I see driving around the PD in circles? You're so close but sooo far. Yes, but you're in a vehicle, I'm not going to come at you with a knife, you know, I might be crazy but I'm not stupid". Brian updates the PD. Soze orders air overlook. The PD checks surrounding payphones (needed to make private phone calls). Brian and Soze breach a church together and clear it. The cops attempt to figure out where Jasper was just now. A black car parked at Mission Row returns to Chastity's name. Toretti calls about a white vehicle.

Brian runs down an alleyway and sees a man in white and black who resembles the man from the video. He gives chase, yelling. Jasper swerves as he runs, "You're gonna have to run faster than that, Mr. Knight," then turns and stabs at the air, "Get back here". Brian dodges and shoots four times. The man falls to the ground as well as his mask and glasses, revealing his face: the mouth is stitched shut. Brian kneels next to the man and sees that the knife is glued to his hand. The voice of Jasper continues, seemingly unharmed - Brian finds a cassette in a pocket. "Oh wait did you kill me?? Ah shit, well that guy was fucking useless, wasn't he. Ah well that's unfortunate, well, better luck next time, Knight." Holy fucking shit. In shock, Brian presses on the wounds as he radios in to PD his location. Brian asks for a name of the downed man but he gasps for air through the stiches on his mouth.

Several PD members arrive as Brian starts to cut the stiches. But it's too late, he already stopped breathing. Mineo attempts CPR as blood starts to pool around the man and stain his white clothes. EMS arrives and Brian requests photos of the scene. Everyone wants to know what's going on but Brian keeps information at a bare minimum. This investigation is at JTF level. Brian makes his way to Pillbox. There, the man is confirmed dead on arrival. ID for a Ron Parker. The hospital is too well frequented - Brian requests they move to a room in the back. Brian lets Mineo in on some more details. This Jasper guy has been tracking him, and tracking him well... Brian creates a redacted MDT report, #4208, and asks Choi to perform a thorough autopsy. No visitation just yet. Phone data is empty. Soze sends photos taken from the church.

So who was Ron? Why did he attempt to stab Brian, even if the knife was glued to his hand? Did he not want to? Was something/someone held over his head unless he refused to cooperate with his capturer? Family perhaps? He had been physically mutilated to greatly resemble the cassette killer.

Brian checks out the cassette from Ron's pocket. It's labeled "Ron". He also finds a piece of paper: "Like a magician, Knight. You're looking here... What's going on over there?" There's also a Nokia phone, cassette recorder, and knife with "MW". Brian puts the cassette into the player.

*"Hello Ron...You're probably still waking up and confused as to what the hell is going on. I'm giving you another chance at life. I could've killed you already but I decided it better to put you on a mission the same way the dark lord put me on mine.*

*I'm sure by now you're noticing... the pain in your mouth.. the taste of blood. While you were unconscious... I took it upon myself to stitch your mouth shut. You'll also notice your dashing new attire that I've dressed you in. I bought them myself...Last but not least. You may want to be careful with that knife in your hand. I've put enough super glue on that blade that they may have to surgically remove it at the end of this...if you live.*

*Your mission is simple. Walk around the city. Maybe make a stop at the PD. I'll be on speakerphone in your pocket... doing all the talking for you. So there's really no way you can screw this up. You're looking for an Officer Knight. I want you... to kill him. If you succeed, you're free to go. If you fail... well... either he kills you. Or I do.*

*Go. Run. The rest of this tape isn't for you Ron... So stop listening here. If an officer is listening to this tape. Give it to Knight. If Knight is listening to this tape... Well... things are really going to start getting juicy now aren't they? You have my number. You know my face. You know my name? Which is actually quite baffling to me. Who the hell gave you my name Officer? I know I sure as hell didn't. There's only a handful of people in this city who could have that information. Ah well... I'll sort them out."*

Guess it's gonna get juicy. And oh no, Madison... Brian confides in Copper and Mineo, saying the man who he shot earlier was innocent and forced into the situation. Brian comes to terms.

Brian calls Jasper. "Hold on darling, yes hello? What was what? Did you really shoot that man? Well, looks like you're doing exactly what you had to do. It's about damn time, Officer Knight! Hm, what one tape(?) what it desires, right? Are you really doing what's necessary? All the crime rates are getting so high, right! I mean, you were so quick to shoot a guy who's running at you with a blade wow - police don't use tasers anymore, you can go for a swift tackle, maybe the flashlight move, there's probably a lot of better ways you could've went about that Officer Knight, but then we wouldn't be in this situation, now would we? He probably could've given you my name, probably could've given you my v- Oh you already have all that, don't you! [Laughs] It doesn't even matter... But hey, you did the killing for me, didn't you? Ah, I didn't have to take him out..." Brian cuts him off, "Who do you have in your possession?" "What I do before our conversation does not involve you...it's an ab conversation Brian Knight [something about "C"]". He hangs up. Chastity maybe, for "C"? Madison in trouble? Lot going on, and not all information given is true.

Copper and Brian meet together in the PD office and Brian gives her a rundown.

Chastity says nothing abnormal as to why her car was parked at MRPD earlier. She also didn't drop anyone off.

Only a couple people know his name - he's not as hidden as originally supposed. And he's certainly not happy Brian knows his real name... Brian and Copper talk on the JTF.

The next day, Brian updates Baas and speaks on the death of the innocent man.

Brian gets a phone call from a PN. "Brian, or should I call you, Michael Douglas?" It's the name Brian gave to Madison as his. The caller mentions the mansion and is interested in Madison. "I've been hired to unfold your lies" More interest in Madison and Brian's relationship. And who's threatening Madison's life. At the end of the call, it seems he may have Madison hostage...

After the call Brian updates Baas. It may be Riley...or Happy the Clown...or Jasper...or a hitman... To Madison's mansion. On the way, Brian and Baas check out a different house as someone was seen running through. Clear. "LSPD! Make yourself known!" Brian now breaches Madison's place. Clear. Brian explains more to Baas. Refer "'Babe' and Malakai" Arc.

Malakai pulls up alongside them on the road - Brian asks if Riley is awake because she might be in trouble. Seems to not be in the city. Malakai wants to know why the PD want to know.

Brian ponders. Wouldn't have been Jasper don't think. Maybe Riley, she could have hired someone. And if so, is Malakai aware? And Madison might not even be held hostage either; no proof. A lot of reasons to suggest she was not actually taken.

Caller who mentions "Michael Douglas" again with the deep raspy voice. He asks how things are going and if Madison is well. Then, he says if Brian doesn't answer the phone again in a half hour expect there to be bloodshed. Brian's going off-duty soon so strikes a deal with the cooperate mysterious voice to put a hold on the bloodshed for the time being.

Brian brings Forcer up to speed on this case - the cliff notes version. After, Forcer says she received an anonymous call a few days ago - she was told she had 10 minutes to save someone's life. Arriving at a bridge, she found a man with tape over his mouth and handcuffed standing on the edge, shaking. She attempted to reach out to him and converse. Nearby him on the ground, a note read, "Forcer must say 'Christmas time is coming,'" so she did, and the man jumped. She's shaken up a bit, and says Ben(?) also witnessed the jump.

New package - Brian takes a look. On the manila envelope is written "For the Justice League" and inside is a cassette labeled "Reasons", 4 photographs of happy children with black marks crossing out their faces, and another black book "J Autobiography" with a sticky note on the upper left corner: "Listen to the cassette before reading".

Let's listen:

*"Good evening officers. I hope everyone is doing well. It's been a minute. Could we please have a moment of silence for Ron. He left this earth way too soon.... he didn't even finish his mission. How're you handling that Knight? Look at it this way... now we have even more in common. I enjoy killing innocents too. [Excited laugh.] Now I must admit, I've been enjoying our phone calls. It's so nice to have some real communication with each other. Sorry Baas, we've still yet to chat... but I look forward to it.*

*Ya'know Officer Knight, you asked me a question that really stumped me on the phone. You asked "Why THESE victims?" Now, honestly, before that moment I hadn't really given it thought. Believe me or not I actually hold no ill will for any individuals in this city. Most of these killings have been nothing more than... crimes of opportunity. Crimes against the poor souls who were gullible enough to believe... stupid enough to trust me. Why the fuck are people so willing to trust strangers they've never met in a world where a god damn child can't even trust their own father not to beat them.. torment them... make their life a living hell. on. earth. I think it's to let you listen to another piece of my autobiography... Strap in officers, this is gonna be a long one."*

There's the sound of a tape being inserted into a player and Jasper gives a narration for his accompanying second autobiography. After he finishes reading the page where Abigail hits their father upside the head with a vase, he proceeds after another 'click'.

*"The end. End chapter. Autobiography finished. Maybe now you have an understanding of my hate for the world. My disappointment with the justice system. Is that enough for you officers? Do you want to know what led me down the path of Satanism? Take a break if you must. I mean if you're happy with that ending, stop right there. Obviously this story doesn't have a happy ending... and you're clueless if you thought otherwise."*

Another click, "Chapter 2, the Road to Hell." Brian listens to Jasper narrate the second part now.

*"I apologize for the long drawn out storyline. The autobiography is a very rough draft and is very much still a work in progress. At least you guys are getting it for free though. By the time it's finished everyone will know my name... and copies will fly off the shelves. Fuckers will be following me to hell just so I can sign it.*

*Until next time officers... You watch yourselves out there."*

So it's his sister being one of the reasons for his being drawn to Satanism. Brian deliberates: the purpose of Jasper is strong, quite strong - he has a mission that he has firmly set.

Brian checks out Madison's house - it's clear.

On Twitter, Brian notices some tweets made by a "Jasper Saxon" referencing Satanism.

In the kitchen was found a bloody envelope that makes its way to Brian. The devil's mark is again seen and this newest cassette is labeled "Chainsaw". There's also black coils.

Tape time. Sound of chains. *"Now that's where you're wrong. You see... we do whatever we enjoy doing Whether it happens to be judged good or evil is a matter for others to decide.*

*Only question that's left is... what to do with you? Hmmm... Is there a way you'd prefer to go out? Oh actually hold on. I have an idea. Let me call a friend.*

*Hello Forcer. Sorry to call so late but... I'm sitting in this house, working on another ritual for this poor bastard and I needed some help. I'm stuck... I can't decide... and they say great minds think alike so. Should I... use my ol' trusty blade? Set him ablaze? Or use this chainsaw I found sitting in his garage? Ah fuck it... Sorry Forcer gotta go!*

*Now, this is going to hurt. A lot. See you in hell, my friend!"*

Brian updates the investigation document he shares with Baas.

Jasper calls, he wants Brian to tell him who gave Brian his name - using the potential final length of victims as a deal point. Brian doesn't give. So why LS? We'll need to find out later, perhaps in another released chapter of his autobiography. How doesn't he know who gave up the name, anyway? And does he have accomplices? What about Happy the Clown? Doesn't ring a bell, replies Jasper. Then why were you on the phone with him some nights back, when you killed 3 people including the videographer? Brian presses. Jasper finds this surprising and asks how Brian knows. Debate on who's doing more work here before the call ends.

On patrol with Baas, Brian continues to update the document and think aloud on the situation. Baas suggests they attempt to meet with this guy in person; nah, that's not something he would agree to do, returns Brian. So what to do? Brian thinks they have enough evidence, pending organizing it all. We can totally build a case, we just need to prep.

A civilian makes a statement at MRPD that there is a woman who needs saved, that's all he knows, plus the key words: "purple dinosaur" and "EMS". Brian radios Baas, who says he just ended a phone call with Jasper. Time to meet up. Minutes later, a 911 call comes in from Jeremy Randolph: "Found a woman behind the purple dinosaur!" While Brian takes a quick trip to Pillbox, Baas continues ahead and radios to Brian details of the scene.

Divine took notes from the scene: the stab victim was determined to be Nicole/Nikki Rivers, a painter. Nikki spoke with Jasper before meeting with her stabber, a woman with green hair who identified as "Olivia" and who talked on a murder named "Lauren". Baas says there is a problem - she also seems to know about the cassette tapes somehow. Upon Nikki speaking Jasper's name, Doctor Choi apparently freaked out; she says he's "bad news". Who the hell is spreading this information - this hinders the investigation! Or, maybe it's a victim or someone who has been involved!

Brian calls Choi - he requests who told Choi about the cassette tape(s). Choi refuses to provide the information, only saying it is someone within their group. Stonefinger? Thomas? Choi says no, it doesn't matter anyway. Brian shoots back, it's pertinent to this case. "According to that individual everything I know you guys already know," replies Choi. She recommends speaking to Jasper. Her contact spoke with her earlier in the day - apparently he just called up Jasper from the yp and asked "what his deal was". Choi: he's known as the "cassette tape killer" and has three victims to his name, Madison Pratt, Chris Robinson, and Father Tanner. Seems to be all she knows. They hang up and Brian checks the yp, no Jasper mention.

Text: "That poor girl found my package before you did. Looks like she's being hounded over it." Brian rings. Description: all-white, Andi Jones. Brian questions if Jasper has told anyone else about the cassettes - somehow, information is getting out about this activity. Off the call, Pinzon hands Brian a bloody envelope. Brian considers a possible leak in the PD as some civilians know some details. On Twitter, Brian notices Andi/Ant and Jasper tweeting each other. Brian tells Pinzon to let Andi know not to meet with Jasper; Trina now looks for Andi's number. Brian calls, yet Ant doesn't answer. Brian updates the doc and contacts Baas.

Meeting with Baas, Brian says he's back into the DW and also gives the update to Baas that he received from David. Also that the PD raided the ESB and LB(?). (/ Payne Manor?) Talks a bit on the VPNs the watchers want and that only one has been found from the ESB so far - so they must have a stash elsewhere. Also the package, the newest present from Jasper. And the activity already surrounding this envelope. Who's lying, Jasper or Choi...Thomas does like to play games...

Ant passes the message from Jasper of "hello". Brian and Baas listen to her story and Brian recommends she stay away from Jasper.

Brian finds time to check out the next envelope: again devil's mark, again blood, a paper with "Although these tapes are ruined they will still serve a purpose" scrawled on it, a "Warning Corrosive" label with "Careful officers" written on it, a "CONTAMINATED blood and/or body fluids may be present" card with "what a mess" written on it, and two cassette tapes: one, "Hammerhead", and the other "Acid".

Although the note says the tapes are ruined, let's try to play them anyway - they might just have been cut off.

"Hammerhead":

*"You see, to me... this whole world is nothing BUT evil. And my own evil just happened to come out when i decided to play my hand with the cards i'd been dealt. I mean, we're all evil in some form or another are we not? Some people just need that little push...a shove over the line...and once you cross it... there's no going back.*

*Now what were we talking about before? Ah yes,... so just imagine. You're in the ocean. A uh... stingray on the sea floor. This hammer is me. I'm the hammerhead shark. So you're down in the sand just minding your business and I swoop in from above.*

*Pow. I smash into you. You're dazed and confused...You look off into the distance. The rest of your little stingray family is watching in horror. It's over... you're done. God damnit... didn't realize there was going to be so much blood. I hope my tape recorder is waterproof... fuu"*

And now for "Acid":

*"I'm not sure why you're crying... do you know the trouble I had to go through to get us alone? So fucking unappreciative. I made sure the police would be busy so we wouldn't be disturbed. Not that they'd fucking show up anyways. You want to know what I did? Step 1: Call officer knight personally and hint to him that I may be going after a real estate agent; Step 2: Follow up with said Real estate Agent and set up a meeting to look at a house; Step 3: Give Knight and the Agent some time to meet up together and then grab you instead.*

*Don't believe me? Hold on - "Hey officer, remember when I said that even I liked playing games? Hey wait, did you find her Officer Knight? Well Ms. Pratt of course. Is she okay? You know.. it usually doesn't take a real estate agent an hour and a half to get back to me. Decided to go with somebody else. Wait, who do I have? I'm afraid you'll have to wait to find out on the next tape. Hahahaha"*

*Look don't take this personally, but I've been growing bored with all these murders. I've been experimenting with some new ideas and I'm really looking for a method that sticks. I usually prefer my blade, but for you I have something special.*

*This is Hydrochloric acid. Once you experience this, the fiery pits of hell should be no challenge. Alright hold still. Ah shit, fuck, shit shit shit. Splashed all over my god damn jacket. my fuckin tape reco..."*

Brian updates the investigative document.

Brian updates Snow. Brian tells that Choi knows about the cassettes, and also updates Snow on the situation with Jasper, the DW, and Illuminati. Brian brings up the dangerous curiosity of others not involved in investigations.

Brian requests Dan to write up a report for the master document. He was contacted by Jasper to pick up a package, the latest one with the double tapes. Then, Dan says this guy knew him very well and told Dan he was "in on this now". Oh fuck! Brian tells Dan this is confidential investigative work.

Chastity calls - a raspy voice from a PN call wanted her to pass along a message to Brian: invitation to the movies, and Brian should get some popcorn from behind the counter. Brian immediately pings Baas to Garage T.

Brian clears the movie theater. Behind the concession counter lays a bloody envelope. Brian grabs it and runs back to his vehicle - he and Baas find a new location to talk. How did Jasper get Chastity's number? Dan's number? And how did he know about them? Who is working with or for Jasper - surely he has accomplices? Inside is a cassette labeled "Opened" and a piece of paper on which is written, "Another ruined cassette. Study hard. One of you will tested". The envelope now also has a bloody handprint on it. Tape time:

*"That's what I'm saying. I love to kill people. I love to watch them die. Cut em open with a knife and watch their faces go white. All that blood. Such a euphoric feeling. I should've been a doctor. The way I handle a blade... uhhh. Controlling life itself. How amazing that could have been.*

*Ah well... This is my path now. I still cut people open, I just don't get paid for it. Here let me show you. Have you ever heard the heartbeat outside of the body? I'm sure you'll love it. We'll start here at the belly and go up. Ready?*

*Oooh ohh yeah. there it is. Open the floodgates. Brace yourself. Just going to reach in here. Aaaaaaah there it is. Hmmm theres something special about a heart... beating in your palm. You wanna feel it? Here let me just... ungh.*

*Shush ssssh sshhh... listen to it."*

Brian and Baas converse. And the note, one of us will be tested? They decide more details need added to their document. Timestamps...some around 9pm ET. Brian tells Baas of Choi and Thomas in the mix now. We need a pattern, or we need Jasper to fuck up, make a mistake...

There is a call from Jasper and Brian answers it saying hi to Chastity. Jasper declines to know that name and soon hangs up, seemingly miffed Brian didn't recognize his number or save off his name. Seconds later, Baas' phone rings. Apparently Jasper wants to meet, face-to-face, at Tequi-la-la. Baas whispers to Brian to go, and Brian hops in the car for the meet place while Baas keeps Jasper busy on the phone. Baas and Brian pick up a radio station to use and Brian heads inside the nightclub as Baas scouts outside. In the basement next to the pool table is yet another bloody envelope. Again, Brian grabs it and drives quickly off, checking the surrounding area and rooftops. Brian finds this a great time to give Baas a little scare. Baas has a suspicious vehicle, a Glendale. Baas pulls over a sus guy. Perhaps, since these last two envelopes were meant for Brian and Baas and were different, Forcer has a third new one?

Brian now takes the time to open the second envelope - inside is a cassette labeled "Shocking" and a piece of paper with "Last damaged cassette from my collection; are you paying attention?" scrawled on it. Tape:

*"There... bathtub filled. comfortable enough? I hope it's not too hot. Sometimes I forget that not everyone enjoys the heat like I do. Better to build up a tolerance to the lake of fire before I arrive, huh? Do you think the state would make an exception and give me execution by fire? Lethal injection sounds way too tame for me. Basically falling asleep? Who the fuck wants that? Do I deserve to just fall asleep? Have I given anyone else that luxury? Maybe I should go get caught in Tennessee... they still allow death by electric chair. That sounds more like it right? Do you think it hurts? God I hope so... I welcome the end.*

*Why am I even asking you? Let's just find out... that's what we're doing here right? I guess I'll just judge the pain levels based on your screams... or lack of. Alright where's the hairdryer. Ah here we go. Okay... on 3. 3."*

A series of damaged tapes - 4 individuals. Hammerhead - hammer, Acid - acid, Opened - heart cut out, Shocking - electricity. What is the test? Maybe the test has already begun?

Brian rings Chastity yet she doesn't answer.

Jasper calls Baas - listening from Brian, it sounds like Jasper isn't too happy that Baas wasn't able to meet him. Got the package, though. Baas hangs up - there are 5 damaged tapes apparently. Shit, we're missing one. Where is it?! Together, they can be used to save someone next week, according to Jasper. They review their notes. Oh, "Chainsaw", that one. Chainsaw, Hammerhead, Acid, Opened, Shocking = CHAOS. Okay, they all need to study. How, what, where, all that stuff.

Brian searches for Choi in Pillbox. A tweet from Jasper about a pier. Baas is in processing so Brian decides to quickly search all 3 major piers in the city. No one at the first pier. Second pier also clear.

Call from Jasper - he doesn't speak, all that is heard on his end of the line is someone yelling in agony as what sounds like a knife is plunged into them... then beep. Seconds pass, re-call from Jasper: "Ah shit, sorry about that, hey um, you know what's really funny, remember that commercial about the little naked boy and the owl and the tootsie pop, and he's like, how many licks does it take to get to the center - you remember that one? I just had an idea, how many stabs do you think it would take to cut a human body in half? Let's find out! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve - okay hang on, this is really exhausting - [stab sounds continue] hold on, I'll text you the answer, I can't do this while holding the phone." Beep.

Brian continues the chase after the red Bison believed to possibly be Jasper's. Third pier, nobody there. Pinzon says the truck is tuned and he has eyes but he's losing sight; Brian pulls out the Mustang. Text from Jasper - "117". It's the answer of the count of stabs. The Bison truck was on the move during this time; perhaps there was a breaking and entering call? Nope, none in timeframe. Another pier check, all clear. And another, also clear.

Brian notices more tweets from Jasper. Uh oh, maybe more victims incoming. Brian checks the tweets from Jasper and Happy the Clown. Mirror Park Tavern location, but was 20 minutes ago. Visit to Mirror Park. A woman is here, as is Raphael and Kraytor. Brian questions about the woman mentioned in the 911 call - when was that called in? 1 hour, maybe 2...Kraytor has no idea. Brian tries EMS - do they still have the woman? Lily, says an EMT, and she calls her down to Pillbox. In confidence, Lily tells Brian that Kraytor called her ugly, she tried to get revenge, and her plan didn't go well. Ah, so unrelated to Jasper and Chastity, Brian says thanks bye. She's offended and lets off on Brian. Dan introduces his girlfriend EMT Sam to Brian.

Chastity. Also, she says, "Jasper sends his love," as Brian walks away. Brian reaches out to Chastity - we have questions.

Brian meets with Chastity; she speaks on her interaction with Jasper. She's proud she found his number, and says she agreed to drop off the package to Brian because she wanted to "get under [Brian's] skin". She seems to believe Jasper thinks Brian isn't that good a detective and is quick to make connections which aren't there. So Jasper trusts Brian to be quite truthful in what he says...this is good to know, we can use this in the future.

"He went for a swim recently, Mr. Jasper...I had nothing to do with it, I didn't know it was happening until after the fact. He's naive, in a little ways, he's putting his trust in the wrong people...let's just say there are people out there that think they know better than everyone else, and they like to play games." Brian points out her own games. "Different games, same end, they like to think they're better than me," she comes back. So what's this about the water? She doesn't know the details, just that he called someone he shouldn't have, even when given a warning. It was like 2 days ago. She also appears certain Jasper speaks the truth, "because it resonates...there are a lot of people who lie, but he had no particular reason to...and I showed him something of mine, another reason why I don't think he's lying, I gave him honesty, and people who aren't manipulating little fucks tend to return honesty with honesty". Jasper has a purpose, she says: to be reunited with his family. She must have some knowledge on his autobiography. Jasper mentioned to Brian earlier he didn't recognize Chastity's name nor did he tell anyone else about his activities...interesting to note. Chastity is also giving Brian info on Jasper, yet at the moment refuses to give names of those she knows is working with/for Jasper. But she does seem to suggest she may be willing to turn him over to the PD or any other governing agency. Maybe.

Baas gets an update from Brian.

Brian updates Snow and Copper the latest on Jasper and Chastity. Brian and Baas speak: Baas had spoken to Connors, a singer - Jasper expressed interest in her. Baas warned her to stay away.

A 911 call about a cassette tape in an envelope that washed up on a beach. It was discovered by a Levi Fisher, who was disappointed it contained no joints; it doesn't seem like he listened to the cassette. Brian radios to Baas and updates the investigation doc.

Brian takes a look at the envelope: it's heavily waterlogged. Inside is a cassette labeled "Assessment". Let's play the tape. It's mostly inaudible but some words can be discerned:

*"Are you ready, officers, for your assessment tonight? It's tonight, so get ready for chaos. It's time to find out just how great an investigator you three are. First, you are going to need to find...not dead yet, but he will be, if you don't hurry...deep in a cave, it's dark in there, be careful, gonna need 3 passwords, first password is yours Knight, a single digit, be careful! Sergeant Baas, you're up next! Acid is a mess, how long will she burn...[laugh]...Forcer, remember our phone calls...hurry officers! Be vigilant, I know that you guys can do it, that's why I chose you..."*

A paper soaked in water also pulled from the envelope indicates some hints..."Knight: a combo...you think is a..."; "Baas: Think about...on fire. How did"; "Forcer: How long...call. Down to the...".

Undercover Brian and Baas. Radio channel 2. One cave checked, nothing found. The two officers scour their notes and play the most recent cassette on repeat searching for clues. They need to hurry, this appears to be the final test - and someone may die.

Brian says possibly: at the end of the acid tape, the victim is set on fire for a period of time = Baas' password. So for Brian, it's the hammerhead tape: number of times the victim is hit with the hammer = Brian's password. For Forcer, a duration of a phone call = Forcer's password. Combined, these passwords will open something related to a cave.

Jasper tweets, "Well then" shortly followed by "No more games Ab, see you soon!"

Maybe the fire is a reference to the torture of Baas by Talon? Baas wonders. Hm, what about this cave, are we on the right track? And who or what is "Ab"? Cave and water - talk on "diving in" on the tape? Underwater cave?

Baas has a head start into the cave and radios back to Brian an update: "Brian, we have a problem. So Jasper apparently was shot up on Friday, and woke up on shore. That's when an old man with cameo picked him up and patched him up; apparently the tape we have right now is not finished, and us looking into it is a waste of our time: we're not supposed to have that. That's what he said, I don't know if he's trying to play mind games."

Wait, holy shit, we know about this...shot on Friday and just woke up though? The tape washed up on shore... the man who saved him was an old man wearing cameo named "Howard", says Baas. Hang on here, why would he tell Baas this? Why would he say to ignore the tape? Baas returns he just ended a phone call with him during which Jasper figured Baas may have just shot him, and wanted to know the date.

Now Brian's phone rings - Jasper, surprise. "Did you fucking shoot me?" Brian says no. Appears he's calling a list of people looking for who shot him on Friday. Brian plays a card: "Maybe I know who may have". Brian explains that the list of enemies Jasper currently has, it's a good change he targeted someone involved in a greater organization. "Finder keepers, I guess...we still got time." Brian asks about the cave referenced in the "Assessment" tape. Jasper requests the tape back as it's "not finished". Brian asks if anyone is with Jasper, to which the reply is a confused Jasper mentioning his savior Howard. Then Jasper seems to realize this is his message, and says that was meant for a week for now. Oh, and he'll have to change some of the details for then as the PD already has these hints. Brian repeats questions. Jasper starts his wondering for a new location he'll have to pick for his 'grand finale'.

Brian points out the apparent mission change - Jasper killed for the dark lord, yet now he seems transfixed on PD responses. No no no, still working under Satanism; the mission progresses until he's dead. "So why the cat and mouse," Brian returns, why not end your own life then. Jasper finds this interesting. Both of the men on the call continue to toy with their food. Jasper requests Brian's ping - 171. Here we go.

Ping comes in from Jasper. Holy fuck, we've got his location, he's on an island. Brian loops in Baas and they meet at Sandy airfield where Baas fires up a helicopter. No heat signatures firing...maybe a note? They land next to the shack: no note inside. Brian and Baas sweep the entire island and surrounding area - it's been five minutes, he couldn't have made it too far...

MDT check: Howard Sterling. Baas says he heard an old raspy voice in the background when he talked to Jasper: Howard. Brian says, like Creepy the Clown? Nah, just an old guy. So that was recent, Jasper and Howard are quite possibly together right now. Let's give him a call. Jasper greets Brian with a laugh - he had taken a speedboat from the island. Brian says he figured he would help to take Jasper back to the dark lord - Jasper replies, where's the fun in that?

Tweet by Jasper thanking Howard for the boat.

The following day, Brian hears that his nephew Simon called Jasper, who was on the yellow pages; Hal then told Simon that was a serial killer. Where's Hal now? Don't know, Simon says. Brian tells to stay away as Jasper is very dangerous and for Simon to write down whatever notes he can for Brian.

A local calls in to say a dead man washed ashore during the storm. When Brian and Divine arrive, they see an elderly man in green camo on the sand.

Choi says a similar situation happened earlier; a body washed ashore. Brian wants as much detail as possible on this one and will link up with Choi in a few minutes. Howard Benton: several stab wounds, died before entering the water and not due to drowning, signs of struggle and defense marks on his hands, still has his phone, no ligature marks, no signs of restraint, dead for "several days" or "three or four". The body that came in last night, identified as Marvin Gray, also had a knife. Check on Howard's phone: no logs to extract.

Call from Jasper - he's writing his autobiography and wanted to compare his background to Brian's. Mention of the Comedy Club. To the club we go!

Brian and Divine rush in, clearing the area with weapons drawn. An envelope is found center stage. As Divine is in the JTF, Brian loops him in as they take a drive. They black out the car and cruise the area, on the lookout for activity. Brian opens the envelope: a cassette labeled "Howard" and an ID for Howard T Benton for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Looking closely at the card also indicates Benton earned a medal of honor, purple heart, and was a former POW. Blood splatters as usual, now let's listen:

*"Hey Siri. Send a GPS ping to Officer Knight for my current location. Let's go, Howard, quickly now!*

*Hello Officers. Not Talking to you Howard. I'm recording. Wouldn't it be crazy if we passed each other right now? You told me you were in Paleto right? Hmmm... Where's the closest dock around here? Ah better to just head back towards Vespucci docks. While I admire your willingness to kill me, Officer Knight. Someone's already attempted to gun me down this week... So we'll have to put our meeting off until I'm feeling 100% I'm afraid.*

*But to answer your question, 'Why I don't just put the barrel in my mouth and pull the trigger?' Well... that would solve nothing, Officer Knight. I'd be in the same situation as Ab...if I killed myself...without finishing my mission... What would Lucifer think of me? I'd be just another Nobody, just thrown into the pits to burn with the rest of them. BUT I'm paving my way to hell in Blood... remember? The more souls I send him, the more power I'll hold after my arrival. I need to set records, officers. Drown myself in Sin. There's already so much competition in this city alone, How much do you think I'll have in Hell? I need to be down there FOR Abby, not just to burn alongside of her.*

*Ah, here we are. So Officers... I don't think we're going to be crossing paths tonight after all. And due to these unforeseen circumstances, I'm afraid this may be my last tape for a minute. You see, I need to put everything on hold while I recover from these damn wounds...and while I try and figure out exactly who wants me dead...and see if it's someone I need to kill next.*

*How about a parting gift though. Hey Howard, is this a good spot? Just pull it to the dock over here? I'm sorry about this old man, I appreciate your help, but I didn't ask for it."*

Just before the tape ends the sound of Howard’s last moments are heard before a splash into the water. Divine and Brian chat on the network of serial killers in the city. Brian takes screenshots of Jasper tweeting. Brian updates Baas.

The following day, Dan receives a call from Jasper, who says he wants Dan to show at Life Invader. Brian and Divine prepare in casual clothes, Dan and Malton to show in uniform with Dan entering first. However, Brian and Divine end up taking a detour and don't make it to Life Invader.

Brian reviews the investigation doc. Baas has added some lines about a local call leading to the Yellow Jack - a woman with burn marks and gun casings were found next to the pool table. Alongside was a piece of paper torn on its edges and with a bloody "J". Baas spoke with the victim, identified as Betty Caniham, and learns she was offered a ride by a group in a blue Sultan: lady with long blue hair and black sweatshirt, male with red hair and red shirt, and male with a skull face tattoo and blue sweatshirt, black pants. The victim was shot inside Yellow Jack and gasoline was poured which the lady shot, lighting the place on fire.

Dan discovers a new envelope in the server room at Life Invader. Cassette labeled "Betty":

*Muffled voices heard nearby. Then Jasper's: "Alright let's see here. Wow, so many of these songs on this jukebox are DMCA free. Well shit. Let's see... How about this one? [Chooses one.]*

*[Male Voice:] Okay. [Female Voice:] I'm going to need you to get on your knees. Hands around your head and on your knees, there you go. [Jasper:] Hey Betty, are you religious? [Betty:] Religious? Uhmmmm... Not really... [Jasper:] Hmmm. Well that's unfortunate. [Betty:] Don't really have a Religion that I know of. [Jasper:] Well alright, let us begin then shall we. Before the mighty and ineffable prince of darkness, and in presence of all the dead demons of the pit, I proclaim that satan-lucifer rules the earth and I ratify and renew my promise to recognize and honor him in all things without reservation, desiring in return his manifold assistance in the successful completion of my endeavors and the fulfillment of my desires. [Female Voice:] And what are those desires? [Jasper:] Well, to be reunited with my sister in Hell of course. [Betty:] Did you guys like open a Portal or something? [Jasper:] A Portal? [Betty:] I mean I don't care, that'd be kind of cool. [Jasper:] What the Fuck. [Betty:] Like I said, Religion I really don't care. So like... [Jasper:] Well you're about to care Betty. [Female Voice:] Uh, Do you not have what you need? Because I have some. [Jasper:] Oh No no no, I'm just trying to decide between Blade... or Fire. [Female Voice:] Okay. [Jasper:] Alright, there we go. [Female Voice:] I'm sure this won't be the first time there's been a fire in this place. [Betty:] This is Ridiculous. [Jasper:] Right. Okay. [Male Voice:] I Love You. [Jasper:] Hail Satan. [Betty:] No - [Screams.] [Female Voice:] Okay, We should go."*

The female voice sounds like Chasity holy shit...and the victim described the woman as looking like Chasity. Fits her M.O. too. What if Moroz was keeping her sane? What if her trying to become 'good' by creating a mafia based on keeping order was an attempt to keep some of her 'needs' at bay? What is her relationship status; perhaps after a potential breakup she's reverting back to her old ways if so? What was she doing yesterday? If this is her expression in more of her 'artwork,' why is she making videos again? And why the hell is she working with Jasper, especially when thinking back to what she earlier mentioned to Brian? She had told Brian she knew who was hunting Jasper... well anyway we know she's definitely working with him in some capacity now. Brian gives a short update to Divine. Chasity can be the lead to catching Jasper... How much are each of these killers keeping the other in the loop? Brian and Divine discuss setting a trap, or at least feeding information to see what happens.

911 call from Andi/Ant - she mentions "cassette tape person and a phone call". Statement in MRPD: Jasper apparently wanted to make her a mixtape along with some more talk. Brian reminds her to be careful and to try to remember as much as she can should something occur. Brian scouts the roof to see if he can spot Jasper is watching nearby.

Brian answers a phone call and all that is heard on the other end is a woman crying, "Please don't do this! ...What did I do, I'm sorry!" before the call is terminated.

Jasper calls, he's curious if Brian's "seen the home movie". Empty plots at the graveyard there may be an extra copy. Brian hits Jasper with a statement: "I thought you worked alone". The killer claims he "did" work alone; "there are a lot of people getting in touch with me; you're the one pushing us together, Officer Knight". Jasper quickly hangs up before Brian can reply.

At the graveyard, Brian finds a VHS tape with "Betty" written on it. The video is a visual accompaniment to the "Betty" cassette Brian knows from earlier, and begins with "Collaboration with Cassette man and The Artist".

Brian and Baas talk - Chasity is now working with Jasper, along with Wade. We need to push to close some of this shit and bring in at least one of them soon.

The next day, Brian speaks with Forcer in the FIB building. He references the new VHS "Betty" tape and how Chasity and Jasper are now working together. Several investigations have now met - we need to bring at least one to a close. Forcer states she hasn't had much luck thus far with the DA concerning Chasity. Talk on Jasper. Talk on evidence. Jasper is using Chasity, she tried to end her life, something happened with her and Tobi... Back to discussion on the problem with DA Larry. Maybe it's a matter of priority? Forcer speaks on what she has per her investigation on Chasity. She returns to talking on David and his presence as Chasity's lawyer; she's hung up on this now. David tortured Skid, she says??

Dude named Kyle says a guy in a suit gave him a link via text to a video of someone being burnt in the Yellow Jack. It's the "Betty" video.

Ant speaks to Brian and Baas in MRPD; she says she spoke to Casanova as well as Vale. MDT report #4510. In the report she describes being cornered in the DJ booth at Tequi-la-la a few days ago and a man trying to light her on fire. Her pleading here was recorded by the man, and makes it to one of Jasper's latest tapes.

Brian responds to a 911 call about a fallen man from a crane - on location, a man lays on the ground, struggling to breathe and covered in blood. Envelope found - Brian pockets it just as EMS and more PD show. "Fucked up face," the victim manages to say. Brian checks the surrounding area, scouting for Jasper.

Brian heads to Pillbox to check on the victim and get a statement. He identifies as "Sir Ravage". There's a bunch of doctors around but they don't seem to all that organized. Apparently our victim needs surgery and is taken away to an operation room.

Let's check out the envelope contents: a tape labeled "Consequences", a paper with a bloody "J", a hammer, a bunch of photographs of the victim alive with one larger scale one black and while with the scrawled words in sharpie "You're the real hero" with a signature.

*"Hello Officers. Such a beautiful day isn't it? So many new faces. New victims. New potential. Oh, how I'm so ecstatic for what the future may hold. It's just me today...working alone. Is this how you'd prefer it Officer Knight? I must say I've quite enjoyed working alongside new faces. It's so much messier, riskier, especially knowing that there are people out there who want me dead. Knowing that any second my reign could be over...well...that's what makes it so damn fun. Speaking of people who may want me dead... have you seen these stupid "Consequence" clowns? Hahahaha... oh for fucks sake. Do you know what I hate? People who feel the need to make everything a competition. 'Oh, no... there are other murderers out here! Stop them! I must be the only one! The greatest one! We must kill them all so that all eyes can be on ME!' You move to a city and kill a few people and apparently you're stepping all over somebody's toes. They don't like that. They feel threatened. They don't agree with your reasons and automatically think that they're better than you. Higher than you. Scared to admit that they enjoy the hunt and kill just as much...so they feel the need to validate themselves to everyone with some path to righteousness bullshit. This stupid fucking idea that they're trying to send a message but are too scared not to hide behind voice changers and masks and 15 other god damn people. This whole "Consequences" idea? Looks like a fucking serial killer daycare to me. A bunch of babies who want to be bad...while also pretending they're heroes. The "Killer of killers" is so damn overplayed... and i'm sure after 8 seasons they'll drive their boat into a damn hurricane and spend the rest of their days working as lumberjacks. I feel like that's a show I've already seen before.*

*Anyways..I'm sure you're getting bored. Let me just spice things up...and get all fancy. Scary mask? Check. Voice changer? Check. [Jasper now speaks to the victim.]*

*Hello Hero. For months you've been running through this city left unchecked. Working alongside PD and calling yourself the "Real-life superhero". Can you say your name into the mic for me?*

*Wait wait wait...please for fucks...is that really your line? That's what you went with? Okay then. For the last few weeks you've decided to play investigator asking around about a man you've named "Mr Medusa". You've decided to follow people who would prefer not to be followed. Take photos of those who'd prefer not to be on camera and threaten those whom you have no power to do harm to. You think wearing that suit makes you a hero? Your...hammer of justice? You mean...that regular hammer you have tucked in your tights? Hmhmhmhm... Did you just press a button on your belt? Oh...no no no, I'm sure I just saw you press on your belt to play a sound effect...like a god damn child's toy. Well alright. If you're a super hero then...you can fly right? Go ahead...jump. Show me and I'll let you live. No, I need you to show me. JUMP or I slit your fucking throat! Well, what about your HOJ? Okay. okay. I have one last question. Why do you call him Mr Medusa? Interesting. Like...this? Indeed...Now for your consequences, hero. Time to fly! [Sound of creaking and wind on the top of the crane, a shove, and a fading 'Nooooo' before a splat. Jasper makes the 911 call.]*

*What a fucking joke. Sorry officers, just venting some frustrations. I need to get down there and get this cassette on him before you guys arrive...maybe give him his phone back. I hope your investigation's going well, I really thought you would have caught me by now...but I feel that we're just getting started. Prove me wrong officers - talk to you soon."*

Brian writes down some notes in the investigation doc. Jasper explicitly points out the "Consequences" group and makes some remarks on them - this group may be who attacked him. What Chasity has told us fits this narrative.

Back at Pillbox, the victim is ready to speak. His real name is Inazuma, "lightning bolt" in Japanese. The man who pushed him was wearing green camouflage and was someone who Inazuma has been tracking. So "Mr. Medusa" is Jasper. A previous victim set him on the case. Brian notes Inazuma's phone number. Villin, doctor on point, joins in on conversation now.

A man, Mickey Rivers, calls with information on a cassette... at Vinewood Bowl, he hands over a cassette Brian has already seen. It was given to him by a man in a hoodie who identified as "Joseph". Brian requests to meet with this Joseph and reminds the reporter that this is a dangerous situation.

His niece, Nicole "Nikki" Rivers, an artist and painter by profession, was confused in the past with the Los Santos Artist. She was stabbed by Jerry Slime and is now friends with Chasity and Fug along with some others, including getting commission to create a painting for jasper. Mikey tried to warn about Chasity but his warning seemed to go unheeded; she actually spoke immediately to Chasity about it. Nikki and these acquaintances seem to have grown closer to each other. What Mikey is most concerned about is Jasper being her client.

Mickey shares Nikki's phone number. Perhaps we can lure Jasper out via Nikki and/or Fug - for the latter, he's seemingly quite cooperative with Mickey.

Chasity calls; she didn't expect Brian to be awake. Brian talks about the potential riot about to erupt over who's the mayor and it's silent on Chasity's end of the line. Chasity? Oh, technical difficulties. They plan to meet. What for, again? Maybe Jasper? Chasity claims she can bring him in. What does she gain in this deal, Brian wonders. And is she working with the Consequences group as well? What are her connections?

Baas informs Brian Dan was given a call by Jasper: the killer is planning something big to happen in 2 weeks, for his birthday: the 16th of September. Dan was given the location of Bahama Mama's: there, he found 2 boxes.

Brian tells that Chasity claims to want to give up Jasper - but how far can we trust her. And who are these Consequences people exactly? So many killers and groups intermingle now...

Dan covers the call he received from Jasper to Brian, who now takes a look at Jasper's recent gifts.

There's a cassette labeled "Presents". It sounds like Jasper's at an amusement park or something.

*"Hello hello officers. Guess who? Alright...let's not even play that game. You know who the hell it is. This month...is a very special month. You know why? I'll give you a hint. [Party horn.] It's another anniversary of a trip around the sun for ol Jasper here...and what better a gift, than all of us getting together and finally meeting face to face? Are you all fans of birthday parties? I can assure you, you've never been to one like this. It's going to be...killer. I've already got so many plans, so many games, so many presents...in store. Hell maybe we could hash everything out and finally give everybody what they want? You...want to end this right? and I...just want one god damn birthday that isn't an absolute nightmare.*

*My father was never one for birthday parties and I've never had the chance to open up presents and dig into birthday cake, while being surrounded by people who care about me. I get it...we're not friends, not really but you all are the only ones in this city who really get me...and really know me for me. Ah well, We can discuss everything later...there's still a couple weeks to plan and get everything sorted out. Unless you're expecting to catch me before then? I mean...Hell...I guess there's a chance I don't even make it to my birthday huh? If that's the case, I guess I better deliver these party favors early then.*

*Hey Lucas... wake up. Wakey wakey sleepy head. It was just a bit of tranquilizer. [Lucas: Where am I?] Ah don't worry about all that right now, It's not important. Let me give you the run down real quick...There's some officers out there working really hard on an investigation involving some crazy satanic killer and I was hoping you would join me in applauding them for all their hard work. What do you say? Let's give em a hand. [Lucas: I...I can't move] Hmhmhm.. I think you and I have different ideas of what it means...when I say to give em a hand. Sgt Baas, Deputy Forcer...this is for you. Actually...First, let's take care of that screaming. I learned my lesson last time when the little piggies went to the market. Let's hope this axe is sharper than it looks. Alright Lucas...give em a hand! [Chopping axe sounds.]*

*Wonderful job Lucas. The police in this city really don't get the praise they deserve most of the time. So I'm sure they appreciate you. And for you Officer Knight...a gift that every man would love...officer or not. [Chopping axe sounds.] Ah shit...I don't think I'm going to be able to wrap these officers...but I hope you enjoy your presents nonetheless. I can't wait to see what you all get for me. [Laugh.]"*

Brian reviews the boxes. One box is labeled "Knight" and the other "Baas". A third box was labeled "Forcer" and was delivered earlier in the day to Forcer. "What's in the fucking box" is written on each box. There's also a piece of paper with the usual symbol and "Warning: Graphic Content". Oh, and blood everywhere.

Brian reaches for the top of his cardboard box, opening it. Inside is a severed head, with eyes bloodshot and rolled back, tape covering its mouth, and blood. There's also a photograph - of what we can assume is the body of this victim: there's no head, nor are there hands...Marker on the picture indicates the name was "Lucas". The other two boxes for Baas and Lauren contain the victim's severed hands.

Mickey calls - his niece Nikki is not doing well as she saw some other crime in the city.

Super fast update to Forcer.

Jasper calls Brian; what's the officer going to get him for his upcoming birthday, maybe a knife? Brian asks about the Consequences group. Jasper doesn't specifically say it's that particular group - he says a lot of people are after him rather. Jasper's keeping the number of those near him small. Moroz' name is quite familiar to Jasper...

Brian questions Jasper, "I still don't understand your motivation - you want to get back with your sister, and you believe you can do so through Lucifer...what makes you so sure he's willing to listen? Have you ever wondered if the love you had for your sister...maybe that's not something Lucifer is interested in. He's a man of chaos, destruction, horrors."

"We've definitely been giving him chaos, and horrors...enough to wipe out any love that was once buried deep inside. We don't worry about that nonsense anymore."

Brian offers to bring Jasper something that reminds of his sister. Jasper is curious; he doesn't like surprises. The call ends.

Baas updates Brian - he was called by Jasper, and was requested to repeat a phrase on the phone, then pick out the part that stuck out to him the most: "Hear no evil". The whole phrase: "hear no evil see no evil speak no evil".

Jasper tweets, responding to Ant/Andi.

Ant speaks on Chasity and Jasper. Apparently she reminds Jasper of his sister. She agrees to help the PD as bait.

Dan says Jasper is on his way to MRPD. Fuck! Also Jasper had asked Dan the same thing he asked Baas earlier (the pick a phrase). Dan waits on the roof of MRPD keeping an eye out for Jasper.

Jasper gives a call and learns Brian has been fired. Brian remarks on Jasper reaching out to Dan and says he's coming after Jasper. New present to expect within the hour.

Ant was given a package by Jasper and Dan leaves a shootout to quickly grab it.

Ant texts for Brian to call asap. On the phone, she states Jasper wanted her to tell Brian they were "having a conversation". She's with Jasper right now...not good. Although she says she's okay. Brian starts to question where she is but Jasper forces her to hang up. Brian alerts Dan. Minutes later, Ant calls back: Jasper let her go. Brian requests a ping and picks her up from Vinewood.

Jasper had wanted her to pick up a box, which she did and brought to MRPD. Jasper additionally shared with her part of his biography. Brian scopes the place Jasper left the box for Ant. After handing the box over to Dan, Ant reached out to Jasper to see if he wanted to meet; she did this to build trust with the killer. She believes he can be saved and still has some good left in him. Why does she think he can change? I give up on people who need help, she replies. Jasper said he wouldn't hurt her as she reminded him of his sister. She has heard two tapes, one of his biography and the other the heart one. Brian asks again why Ant thinks she can help Jasper, and again reminds of the severity and dangers of the situation.

Tweet by Jasper about an event. Ant says Jasper plans on dying on Wednesday, his birthday; he wants the PD to be seen as the villains.

Brian links up with Dan: they talk on Ant and Brian considers Dan's involvement in the case. Brian checks out the newest box.

Inside is an autobiography with a sticky note requesting a listen of the cassette before reading. A business card for Nikki Rivers is found clipped to its cover. A cassette, of course, labeled "Fulfillment". There are also three jars: one with a red bow for Baas with two severed ears, one with a grey bow for Faily with two eyeballs, and a third with a blue bow for Knight with a tongue.

Okay, cassette time:

*"Greetings officers. Something new for you today. I decided...to take a break from all the killing this week...so that I can focus on planning everything out for the party. Oh I'm so excited...I can't wait. So...today...I thought it'd be fun to do a little behind the scenes work and record a new chapter of my autobiography...live.*

*I'm joined today by Marcus...say hi Marcus! [Marcus: "Fuck you!"] He's here to do the the voice for Mark (That's my father by the way, in case you're not paying attention)...how...convenient Marcus. Almost like you were born for this role. [Marcus: "Fucking piece of shit..."] Now officers...this is chapter 11 and I realize that I've skipped around all over the place, So let me catch you up. After Abigail's death, Mark's abuse and...other things...landed him in prison for some time. Chapter 9 was Carrie's death. Chapter 10 would've covered all the boring bullshit that led to the police suspecting me...and ultimately ending with my incarceration until trial. Alright, are you ready Marcus? Just like we practiced. We only have one shot at this...so let us begin recording. [Marcus: "You're going to let me go right, after all this, you're going to let me go?"] Oh of course Marcus, of course...*

*[Book narration by the both of them. When the part comes as they narrate when Jasper takes the ears, eyes, and tongue, he apparently decides to do the same to Marcus.]*

*Wonderful wonderful wonderful job Marcus. You made that sound so real...10 out of fucking 10. Sorry about this, Marcus, but Mark didn't live either, so...[gunshot and the sounds of Marcus' cries of pain cease]. Alright there we go. I don't know about you guys, but I feel like this autobiography just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait to see how it ends. I'm sure this chapter has left you with more questions than answers...and we're running out of time, so I don't think I'll be sending any more sneak peeks before its full release, this is it - if you want the full story well then you're gonna have to buy it. Alright so please be sure to RSVP to the party next week so I can plan accordingly. And I hope to see you there, officers..."*

Brian thinks. Where is Forcer, why wasn't she given a jar? (I mean I wouldn't want a jar but) She did mention during one previous meeting she's like 5 tapes behind, maybe that's it, she just hasn't been investigating that much from Jasper's perspective? Brian pulls Dan into the office and includes him in on the case - for now, just collector of information as Brian seeks more approval. They discuss Ant and discover she met him twice, not just once. Talk on the danger to her. Maybe we can use the HOA to protect her (she's a member)? Hm. On one hand the HOA could actually find and kill Jasper = yay. On the other, they fuck with the PD's investigation = nay. Dilemma. Anyway, more than likely there's going to be a dead body at this fun upcoming birthday party. Brian welcomes the new investigator. Need to speak with Baas next we see him. Back to thinking, who's this Marcus?

Brian briefly speaks to Baas.

Jasper tweet.

Jasper may be going to Payne's roasting event at the Tequi-la-la, says Baas. The two go undercover and attend to look for Jasper. Brian dresses in grey and Baas red. No one in particular stands out, but one man in green catches some interest - per clothing choices and a plastic look to his face, possibly a mask. The event starts to wrap up and they lose sight on the guy in green. Time to scour the surrounding area. No luck. Perhaps he wasn’t even there at all...

Brian takes a screenshot of a tweet of Jasper's. Jasper calls. He wonders why Brian was fired; Jasper says he's deep undercover as well when he learns of Brian's secret mission. He lists some names: lawyer Katrina(?), Madison Pratt, oh that's apparently the full list. Brian, Baas, and Faily also for the party. He has no location planned yet for his big day. Brian says he has a present ready - Jasper responds he found someone who has a really good recipe for a cheese pizza to feed all four of them. Nothing more said on his end of the line.

Brian pulls over Nikki Rivers and finds this a great opportunity to tell her Jasper is dangerous and she may very well die soon. Apparently she thinks her uncle Mickey is overprotective and thus has been ignoring his warnings. Brian now gives details about the murderer Jasper. She's at a loss for words, "he's a nice guy," she manages to say. Brian requests they move locations to the Vinewood Bowl. There, she mentions he texted her a few days ago about finishing a chapter in his book. She's the one commissioned to do the drawings and she asks Brian if he liked them. Jasper's been nothing but nice to her, she says, and was her first friend in the city, welcoming her when no one else would.

Brian pulls up the investigative document and shares one of the cassette tape recordings with her: the Hammerhead one. She takes a listen and starts to shake at the end, turning around. "What..what was that?" "The sound of one of his victims being hammered to death." She's stammers, "...that was him?" Brian confirms. And that was only one of many tapes. She's again at a loss for words. Eventually, she questions the book and if it was real. Yes. "Oh god...oh god..." Brian asks how they communicate: via email, and they meet in person sometimes to hang out. They have been together in public with her group of friends including Joshua Wade and Chasity Dawes. Great, they're connected too. Dammit. They're her "artist friends".

Brian recommends she act normal - if Jasper is to reach out to her, she is to let Brian know. She freaks - how is she to not panic, with what she knows now?! "I thought he was my friend..." Nikki says Jasper, along with even Wade and Chasity, are among those she considers not just friends, but family. "They're using you at the end of the day." Brian takes off with the final words, "try not to die!" Well let's hope she doesn't die.

Another Jasper call. "Why the fuck am I losing all my goddamn friends tonight?" He sounds quite angry...mention of Nikki Rivers..."some motherfucker decided to fill her in" and she's been asking questions of Jasper recently. Jasper also says the PD got to Andi as well. He wants Brian to pick a number 1-10. Nah.

"My list of friends is very small...Nikki Rivers is my artist for my autobiography." He drew the first chapters, and she was hired starting at chapter 11. Brian says information has gotten out from Jasper's end, too. Jasper admits he shared some recordings with a few friends. He still wants to play the number game. Brian questions if Jasper has spoken to Choi or Dwayne. Answer is neither, though perhaps they are involved with the Smileys... Joshua Wade... What about the individuals who tried to kill him? "Been dealt with," Jasper says curtly. Brian finally plays the game and says "3".

Jasper tweet to Brian: he's going for 6. Presumably number of victims.

Dan requests immediate meet up with Brian. Dan says he spoke with Andi - she's being threatened by Jasper that if she doesn't show to his birthday party, things will go sour for Brian, Baas, and Dan. He took a statement from Andi and sends it to Brian, who adds it to the document. Brian updates Dan that he warned Nikki of the true Jasper. In a dark way, we can use Nikki to get to Jasper, especially if she's suicidal... She definitely reached out to Jasper very quickly after being warned. Anyway... Brian briefly says it wouldn't be the first time he killed someone - totally in a legal shootout, he reassures Dan. For Andi, she's already in danger; her only safety is witness protection and she's not chosen that. Gotta think about our options here. Brian reasons through some thoughts. The dude has made several jukes so far and him threatening Andi doesn't make sense with the statement that he wants to die Wednesday. These people involved...city's weird and some do insane things...minor tangent to Choi and the Pillbox attacks with consequences. Victims and mentality. Lack of rationality sometimes.

Jasper tweet.

Chasity speaks with Brian near MRPD: she says people are talking about Jasper and talking with Nikki. She received a text from Jasper earlier today and learned that a cop spoke with Nikki. Chasity claims she's protecting Nikki. She totally doesn't seem to suspect a thing...

Brian updates Baas about Nikki's latest actions despite his warnings. Nikki questioning Jasper led to the killer confiding in Chasity, who traveled to the MRPD about it. Quite a bit of interest here in keeping Nikki in the dark of their activities. Dan joins the two. All three to not say anything about Nikki Rivers. Undercover time. Brian brings Dan up to speed on the investigation and the connections we know between Jasper, Chasity, and Nikki. Apparently Jasper made a visit to Pillbox yesterday - yet the doctor's kept their patient under confidentiality. Dan says Mickey has found every single tape before the PD? He "finds them at the locations"? What? So just accessibility. Some more discussion.

Jasper call: party is in due time. He's preparing the games...

Tequi-la-la. Brian and Baas clear. Ant's upstairs - she points to an envelope. Ant explains she visits the club every day at the same time.

David calls. A mention of a birthday party, and "be prepared, some big things are going to happen today." Cryptic. We'll find out soon enough, he says... "Should I be worried," Brian asks. A pause, then "maybe." [Refer "Dark Web"]

Andi says Jasper called and had some boxes that needed delivered to Brian and Baas. Andi dresses like Abigail and picks up the boxes as requested before joining Brian and Baas in their car. She has a new package, different from the one just picked up in Tequi-la-la: envelope. The officers leave Andi there and instruct her to ping them should anything happen. Time to listen to the tapes.

The first envelope of the day includes a cassette labeled "Humane", a drawing of Abigail, a picture of Tequi-la-la, and a picture of Andi.

*The tape begins with the ending sound of a previous tape of Jasper's then the man's voice himself: "Holy shit, is she really blasting that over the goddamn speakers? Hell yeah, Andi! Haha. All right. Oh fuck, of course. [Andi talking on the phone to someone: I need to call you back, I promise, I'm safe...I love you too.]*

*I'm going to make this quick. [Andi gasps as she notices Jasper.] Hey, um, can you put that phone away for me? [Andi: Oh I'm sorry, I was just listening to it, I'm sorry!] Yeah Andi I heard it, the entire street probably fucking heard it! I'll just be taking that cassette back...Can I squeeze by you real quick? I'm just going to play some music so we're not heard. [Music starts.] Tell me Andi, what did you think of the cassette? [Andi: Um, it's not very happy...] Well no, I don't work in 'happy'. Regardless though, are you interested in being featured in one of them? [Andi: Um I don't think it's really my style...] Oh not your style, that's unfortunate...alright then Andi, maybe some other time, huh? I guess I'll just head out of here.*

*Wait, wait wait wait oh shit I almost forgot. Hey um, try and be still for me. [Andi: no please please please!!] [Sound of pouring gasoline.] It's fine, Andi, so many others have already been through this. Renovations, my apologies in advance then. Oh no it's fine, you've already made up your mind! Okay then. [Sound of a lighter and Andi continues to cry and plead.] Ahh fuck...god dammit...Abigail...just fucking light it Jasper, just fucking light it...um one second! My lighter is fucked up I think...well you're in luck, apparently my lighter isn't working. Put your hands down Andi, you look ridiculous. Alright, so, I've decided the dark lord doesn't need your soul today so you're free to go. Go! Run, Andi! Before I change my mind! [The sound of footsteps as Andi rushes out.]*

*Ah Abigail...fuck fuck FUCK! [Sound of smashing.] What the hell are you doing?! So stupid! Shit."*

And let's check out the second tape: this envelope contains a cassette labeled "Birthday", an invitation to his birthday party promising blood, gore, and games, oh fun, and a piece of paper with the Satanic star symbol with five points referencing five past tapes: Chainsaw, Hammerhead, Acid, Opened, and Shocking. "CHAOS" is written in the middle.

*"Happy birthday to me! So exciting, I've really been looking forward to this party all week and I hope that you guys can say the same. Cause you know what? All four of you are invited - Officer Knight, Officer Faily, Sargant Baas, Deputy Forcer, the moment we've all been waiting for! Now here is what I need you to do before I need you to do before any of this can begin. I need you to RSVP with me via text so that I can plan accordingly for food and drinks and whatnot. If none of you guys are working tonight, the remaining officers on duty are going to have one hell of a time... But I did promise games, yeah? What better way to start the night than a little scavenger hunt? I've never been really good at riddles though, so maybe it'll be more like, go here, and and grab stuff for the party...*

*There are rules, though. Rule number one, the scavenger hunt is a solo gig so no cheating and teaming up. I'm not one to busy up the entire police force and take four of Los Santos' finest off duty for something as ridiculous as a birthday party. So one at a time it'll have to be. Here's how it's going to work: I'm going to send you a location, via a text, or a call, and you'll have to travel alone to retrieve it. Once it's been secured, well I'll send another officer to another package. And if any of my party helpers inform me that you've been cheating, then I'll be forced to remove you from the list of guests... If this game goes well though, then maybe our little meet-n-greet will end up going better than I expected! Hahaha. Alright, you know what to do. Let's begin."*

Brian and Baas decide to play Jasper's game - if they don't, others may get hurt. Talk on David, Joshua Wade, Andi... Wait, why did Jasper share this tape, of him sparing Andi? It shows a weakness...maybe it was meant just for her? Brian sends in his RSVP to get the party started.

Baas answers a phone call from Ant - she says Jasper just told her he's looking at Dr. Choi, who's sitting on a bench at lower Pillbox. Ant also passes along that Jasper is frustrated they haven't RSVP'd yet.

Baas radios to Brian he's with Choi and Stonefinger at Pillbox: they have another envelope from Jasper. Baas sends all the newest tapes to Dan to loop him in.

Jasper calls. He doesn't sound happy with what he considers the lack of progress. He mentions he delivered Brian's package to Choi because according to him Brian and Choi need to "have a chat". He says she'll explain. Hangs up.

Meet up with Baas and Dan. More discussion. What's Choi got to do with all this? And David? Etc. Brian grabs some food and Baas radios: Choi called him and said that Jasper told her time was running out for the police and the "people on the cassette tape". Choi's upset - she thinks Brian is the reason she's at crosshairs with Jasper because a serial killer told her last night that she was hunting him and that was information given to them by Brian. What? Brian gives a TL;DR on the attacks on Pillbox and Choi's involvement.

Okay now for the envelope given to Choi. Inside is a cassette labeled "Heinous", a "Birthday Greetings" card with a picture of a man with a dart on his forehead, and a polaroid of a vague bloody head.

*[Sound of a woman begging for Jasper to stop.] "What are you doing? Fucking stop that... you think god is going to save you? Your god has forsaken you... You chose incorrectly. You see, your god has decided that THIS is your path... but mine, my God will praise me for all these things I'm about to do to you.*

*Tell me, why did you choose the more difficult path? Sinning... is easy. You know the temptation is too strong and sooner or later... you'll tire out and all that sin you've been running from all your life is going to catch up to you.*

*Here... let me show you. Through the woods is the highway. The highway.. that's heaven. I want you to run... run to heaven. Now... these arrows, each one of these is a sin. A sin that very well may stop you from reaching those pearly gates. And Me... I'm your fucking devil. Hurling these sins toward you. It's my job to stop you reaching your god.. and to bring you to mine.*

*So here... Hold this recorder for me. [Sound of tape.] Well, what are you doing? Run. [Sound of the woman running as she cries for help as darts are shot at her. She falls and Jasper's footsteps approach.] Oh shit, I guess you're not making it to the pearly gates after all. I hate to say I told you so."*

Baas radios, he just talked to Jalepeno(?) who claims to know Jasper. Baas went to the Vinewood Bowl to oversee as Chasity had tweeted she was there. Baas received a message from Ant that she was safe and something about a special guest. Lots of shit going on all at once, calls, messages, tapes, tweets, etc. Brian, Baas, and Dan meet on a mountain to discuss. Message from Jasper to Baas - his portion of the hunt. Now all three have RSVP'd to the party. Dan gets his clue.

Brian listens to yet another cassette tape, labeled "Allegiance":

*[Jasper:] "We're good. Well obviously, I say blade. Well... because the blade is superior. Wait, you want to use the hammer? But it's so messy. Well yeah, but it's a different... okay... the knife is like turning on a water hose, it's a controlled mess... A hammer is like turning a sprinkler on and each swing sends shit all over the room. We're not in a...hmmm.. Fine. Let's just ask him? Hey, Excuse me...which do you prefer? His or mine? [Victim speaks.] What the fuck? We sound nothing alike. You know what I want you to say? Hmm Nothing. I want you to die. Hmm hm hm. What? He's still alive... for now. Wait, do you not have a killer line, like "Let's put a smile on the face?"*

*[Smiley:] "We good now? So how're we doing this? What? Why is that obvious? Uhm what. Well of course I do. Have you ever killed someone with a hammer before? What do you mean? A blade is just as, if not, messier. But we're not in a tiny room... are we? Fine, excuse me sir / Mine or his? I told you. Yep I knew this was going to happen... We really don't. What the hell Jasper? Haha I guess you're right. Do I? No..."*

*[Victim:] "Uhh, well which one of you is talking? I mean, you're both wearing masks... and you both sound so similar are you like brothers or something? C'mon man, what do you want me to say?"*

And another, "Viscious":

*Alright, where were we. You know... It's not nice to look at people like that. [Woman in pain begging in the background] The look of disgust... the look I've seen so many times before. You look at this face and see a monster right? This face... a sick joke from God I'm sure. A car accident. A fire. Which helped to melt away the surface and expose the monster that I had kept hidden beneath. [Woman: "Please don't hurt me"] Hmmm but maybe you'd prefer if I wore your pretty face instead? [Sound of a knife drawn] Huh? A few slices and I'm sure we could peel that right off.*

*You see... People are so damn worried about what they look like on the outside... and nobody seems to give a fuck about who they are on the inside. [Woman keeps crying and pleading] Sure, you're pretty on the surface but who are you underneath? Well allow me to show you... [Slice of knife into flesh and dripping blood, etc. The woman ceases to plead as she goes silent]*

*Ahahahah there we go. Now... look at all this... you see? Everyone else only gets to see this up here... the pretty face... the makeup... the lies. But I... well... I can see right through you hahahahah*

Brian and Baas talk. None of these tapes are leads - they're just more victims. We only have what Choi says to go on. Are these people in the tapes still alive and are they the targets for tonight? Gotta speak to Choi. Jasper was in the area of these clues, he's watching.

To the racetrack. To the auditorium. Dan radios that Chris Robinson was walked out of Pillbox with Chasity - Choi saw. Brian checks out the auditorium along with Baas as Dan checks the perimeter.

Brian says he wouldn't be surprised if Choi is involved in all this - she's in the Illuminati after all and has done some shady shit. [Refer "The Illuminati"] Baas says Stonefinger received a tip of a tape at the Tequi-la-la, and when there, saw someone run out to a Glendale. Brian and Baas look for a spot that is difficult to oversee to give Dan a chance to find the people watching: as they continue to move, it will force the watcher(s) to move too. Brian says we need to get a step ahead. Choi may be a ticket here. This investigation started confidential, until Jasper started bring more people in on his side. Brian speaks on Thomas Dwayne - why would he have called Jasper that one day? What is the interest? And she's a helper for this party now? Choi is definitely not 100% innocent.

Choi arrives and, with crossed arms, immediately begins to speak angrily to Brian. She thinks Brian is responsible for this, for telling Jasper things that Brian says he didn't say. Hm. She thinks they're gaslighting her and trying to get her killed. Jasper tried to contact her via Twatter then directly reached out. Okay let's roll all the way back. How did she find out about Jasper? Choi learned that he had stabbed Windsong and Choi and Thomas were trying to figure out who he was with the phone number given from Windsong. As time passed, she pieced together the pieces to find out it was Jasper. One of her friends, who Choi doesn't want to reveal, spoke directly to Jasper and that's why she talked to Brian about the cassette back then. She says the name of her friend "doesn't matter". Brian and Baas says her friend may be in danger; she says nah, I watch Twitter and my friend's fine.

Choi radios to a channel that Chasity just added a victim to her list, Chris Robinson. [Refer "Chasity"]

Brian and Baas sidebar. "Chasity and Four Tee are working with Jasper." Ant just told him; she had gone to the docks and saw Chasity leaving Robinson's stabbed body. Brian says Choi's story isn't consistent and she's holding back.

Jasper calls - he wants to know if everyone caught up. He wonders why Baas picked up Brian's envelope rather than Brian himself and if Brian has talked to Choi. Everyone got their packages. Brian says he knows Jasper has been watching. He gets a return laugh. He's got more packages to deliver. Stage 2.

Brian and Baas link. Then, Brian, Baas, and Dan link. Ant arrives too.

Another envelope: cassette labeled "Ordeal", a "Happy Baptism Birthday" card, and a polaroid of a man facedown in a body of water.

Andi gives her account of her interactions with Jasper. Brian checks out this latest "Ordeal" tape:

*"Ah, isn't it nice out here? So peaceful...so relaxing. I'm sure you're wondering why I brought you out here. Well... I had a discussion the other night with, well her name isn't important I doubt you know of her. BUT she seemed to think... that I could be saved. Hm hm hm. Now... I highly doubt that, but it's something that's been eating away at me lately. What if... Abigail isn't in hell? Was all of this for nothing? If she's in heaven right now... did I already miss my chance? Am I too far gone? Now the answer to that, for me at least, is yes. But I wanted to experiment. You see Nathan, you've lived a pretty fucked up life as well.. You're definitely... going to hell. However, I'm here to cleanse you of all your sins. Hahahaha... and if I see you burning in that lake of fire when I arrive, at least I'll have my answer. So have you ever been baptized Nathan? I was... believe it or not. Tonight you're lucky though... I'm giving you a traditional baptism. My baptism was by fire... Usually I'd do the same for others, I usually enjoy the screams, but honestly I'm not in the mood to listen to your screams tonight. Beg for your life, sure... but no screaming.*

*Let's begin shall we? Lord, thank you for the precious gift of baptism, that he can publicly declare his love and passion for you. Lord, we ask for your goodness and blessings to be poured out on this faithful servant. We pray that you would work deeply within his heart and soul to renew and refresh him each day. Come guide his footsteps, give him a hope and a vision for the future.*

*Today, the past is gone. He stands free and whole, loved and forgiven within the kingdom of God. Father, cover and protect him now, encircle him with your promises and fill his hearts with joy. May this day be one he cherishes and remembers forever!*

*There Nathan, your sins are cleansed."*

Andi says Jasper said he wants to die so he can be with his sister again. And that it would probably happen today. They discuss. What can we do to get ahead of this? Can we catch him before the party?

Chasity calls - "you should really focus on Jasper right now". She sees a matter of priority difference as some cops are doing trivial tasks. She cares for Ant and Nikki. Kraytor told Chasity about Jasper and Ant. Chasity's not happy Nikki heard one of Jasper's tapes. Why the focus on Jasper? Why now? She returns to her phrase, "I'm trying to change". She wants a trial, she wants caught. How does this fit with Jasper? "Me bored, me entertaining myself in the meantime." Amusement led her to approach MRPD earlier, interesting. Back to talk on protecting Nikki. But are you really shielding her, Brian says. If you get caught like you say you wish, what's that gonna do to Nikki? She's helping Jasper as he wants caught as well. Damn all these serial killers want caught but none are willing to walk up the steps of MRPD. Seems like it would be a win-win.

After the call, Andi exclaims in surprise: Chasity was buddy-buddy with Jasper just moments ago. The hell she wants him to get caught? None of this makes much sense... Text from Jasper to Baas - a clue. Back to discussion on the radio of what we can even do besides follow Jasper's plan.

David calls to ask about Brian's evening. Talk on the internal PD radio about David and his known relationships.

Ant sends a ping of danger to Baas. At the location, a dock, no one is seen... where did she go?! Brian, Baas, and Dan search.

Dan cuts in on the radio - "found them, found them: Chumash Pier!" Andi's black Glendale, Andi, and a man in a trench coat. Dan continues, saying the man just hit Andi and she goes down. She gets back up and holds her hands above her head. At this point Jasper calls Dan and wants him to land: Dan's in AirOne. Brian and Baas approach the pier and Baas prepares an oxygen tank. Dan to stay in the air for tracking; we cannot lose sight and need someone with eyes. On location, with oxygen tanks prepped, Brian and Baas creep to the end of the pier. They corner Jasper in, leaving no routes for escape. Brian questions why Jasper took Andi. The killer paces back and forth, silently, grasping a knife. It gets a bit awkward as Brian goes deaf [scuff] for a minute or so. Jasper continues to pace as more PD officers arrive as backup. He says he traveled to the docks because Andi told him that was her location. Baas brings up Abigail's name and Jasper pauses to face Baas - he starts to talk [but server disconnect]. Back at the pier. Jasper talks on past and planned packages, still pacing with the knife out. He pulls out his phone for a few seconds, puts it away, them says, "Someone's coming." Time to get AirOne back in the air. Talk on baptism by fire. Some more questions. Some more attempts to get him to put down the knife.

"The water's so peaceful," Jasper says quietly, looking over the railing at the ocean waves. "Good luck, officers," he jumps. Brian leaps in after him, losing sight. Baas calls out locations from AirOne: beach, truck, rocks... Brian narrows in on Jasper and the latter comes very close to landing a stab, losing to the much faster gunshots. He falls to the ground and Brian stands over him, gun still drawn.

"Give me one good reason I shouldn't end your fucking life right now," Brian keeps his gun aimed at Jasper's motionless body. Jasper says go ahead, he would welcome it. Blood seeps from his wounds into the sand. Brian alludes to having made a kill before. Baas returns and they both promise top-tier Pillbox doctors who will keep Jasper from the death he says he wants. He loses more blood, the makeshift bandages applied by the officers reaching their limits. Finally, an EMT arrives on scene and begins to care to his injuries. Jasper refuses all treatment, causing the EMT to back up. Baas says nah, we need him alive - tend to him. Soon, Jasper passes out due to the amount of blood loss, and she again treats him as he's now unconscious and its again in her duty. Jasper is transported to Pillbox. Brian checks the pier for a new cassette tape: nothing.

Brian relocates to Pillbox, where Jasper's now in surgery. Brian, Baas, Dan: discussion on what happened. Seemed like he planned to fake a death in the mineshaft and kill Brian. So for now, was that enough? "Chasity. Is it him, is it his voice, is it Joshua Wade, or is it a third person? You never really know, and they never really stop, even if they claim they're willing to change." Baas talks to Choi through the medical door - she says Jasper will be fine; he's stable. We can put Jasper in investigatory hold while we coalesce this whole case. Andi needs to go into hiding - she's integral to the PD. Jasper wanted to 'baptize' Brian, with fire...why? Brian considers. Short talk with Choi before she returns to the recovery room. Jasper wakes and is cuffed to the rails of a hospital bed.

Brian, Baas, and Dan stand around his bed. Jasper says he doesn't believe he'll be locked up for long. Brian concurs, silently drawing his weapon by his side. The officers lead a handcuffed Jasper down the hospital hallways as Brian mirandizes him then asks about Chasity, poking for information. Transport to MRPD, where Jasper is added into the system. Brian sidebars with Baas and Dan: Ant shared her location with Jasper. Why does she care so much? Why does Nikki share so much? We lack sufficient evidence for court. Yes, we have tapes, but those aren't enough...we need him to admit to enough for a story, to admit to locations, recordings, etc. And we still have no bodies - proving deaths will be an issue. Perhaps we can raid? We can't trust the DA on this, says Brian. We must work on this case ourselves. They create a list of goals for the interrogation to collect evidence.

Brian and Baas interrogate Jasper. Not many questions in and he requests a lawyer. Paperwork, signatures, check of properties, subpoena. Kat, Jasper's requested lawyer, arrives. 72 hours for the hold with judge approval. Talk on charges. Access to phone logs: Brian documents. Talk on next steps. Jasper's lawyers challenge. Talk on schedules. 24 hour hold for Jasper in penitentiary. Talk on legal.

Ray calls to congratulate - Weazel News wants details on the arrests, yet Brian replies, "no comments at this time." Brian and Baas discuss. Consideration of options. Who is reliable, what is reliable, etc. Gotta convince a judge, we can look into identifying a signature or multiple signatures to link the packages for connection - would be helpful if we could prove a murder in at least one of them. Forensics, interviews, package contents, phone logs, details details details. Gameplan.

Brian, Baas, and Dan speak with DA Donny Crane. A few minutes in, Brian realizes they're missing at least one tape. We need to raid him! More talk with Donny. Witnesses, victims, people...usefulness and not... More talk, etc. Gonna not overcomplicate charges pressed and will hunt for that unfound tape.

Brian and Baas interview Andi. She passes over a detailed document of her recording her interactions with Jasper. Andi says she can differentiate Jasper's voice from Joshua Wade's, and that there is a union of serial killers who all seem to look up to Chasity. A Thomas Dwayne also knows quite a bit, she's figured, and looks into these serial killers. Dwayne told Andi Jasper is dangerous and is known as the "cassette tape killer" - where he got that information, Andi does not know. Andi says Doctor Choi and Thomas Dwayne are close; included in their group is Flop Dugong, and maybe Bryce Miller and Izzy Carrington. When the Reverend, the chicken man, and Jasper started noticing her, Flop brought her to talk to Dwayne - but about Mr. Smiley. She met Mr. Smiley in the past, who seems close with Joshua Wade, who makes snuff films. She further says Jasper was a part of Chasity's group then later was himself hunted by Chasity's union. There was some laughter shared between Chasity and Jasper yesterday though so their current relationship is unknown. Brian and Baas recommend Andi stay low-key and stick with people she trusts. Chasity's killer union might have an agreement that Andi is off the table as a victim, but like that's trustable.

Call from Jasper at Bolingbroke.

Brian checks out a new tape: "Catharsis". In an envelope was this tape, a birthday card with "Birthday parties always choke me up", and a polaroid of a woman with bruises on her neck.

*"[Voice in background: You're never gonna get away with this...] I never planned to! For fucks sake, I was never trying to get away with anything. But the police in this city were more worried about stopping serial bank robbers than they were about catching serial killers! They don't even show up to the crime scenes 95% of the time. You've gotta hand them everything on a silver fucking platter... and even then... even then we go ignored.*

*That was the whole point of me recording all of these damn sacrifices to begin with. I was perfectly content with keeping all of these murders private, making memories between just me and my victims... but now... now that I have a taste of all this attention... Well it's an entirely different kind of game. Now the fuse is lit... and I'm out here to cause as much CHAOS as I can until somebody decides to finally fucking do something and stop me!*

*Maybe you can stop me? [Voice in background: Please don't!] Here... take my blade. Stop me. You better plunge it in deep. [Jasper starts to choke the woman] Hmm what the fuck are you doing?! You're going to die if you can't do better than that. [Choking continues] No no no no look at me. I want to look into your eyes as your life fades from behind them. [Snap] Uhhh... Alright, I'm feeling a bit better after that... thank you."*

Brian shares the package with Baas.

Bill Maze, Jasper's lawyer, found with oxy? Later, Maze calls - Jasper's in visitation talking to his new lawyer, Koi Pish. He also says he got busted for oxy and explains more about what happened with Sewer Ricky. "Talk to Jasper if something happens to me." What? Let's meet.

Maze explains he spoke with Jasper - he told the killer he fucked up and his bar license may be on the line because of the oxy. Jasper had responded that the license was the least of his concerns when dealing with him. Eh, we're never really truly safe in this city, says Brian. Maze talks more on his addiction and his worry about his license.

Bolingbroke. Maze and Koi are in visitation - Jasper stands on the other side of the fogged glass in an orange jumpsuit. Jasper wants a radio/boombox. No. Introduction to Koi Pish, new representation for Jasper. Check on DOJ progress for extension on hold - another 72 hours granted.

Casanova says a deceased body was found at Route 68 in Joshua with a cassette tape, drill, and photos. The victim was drilled through the heart. Brandon Hutchenson(?).

Mickey says he has info on Jasper, Chasity, and a group called "Consequences". We'll get back to him later.

DA says there's a parallel with some wordings. Could be of interest.

Brian checks out the newest 'package'. No envelope this time, but just the drill and an unnamed cassette tape that Casanova mentioned earlier. And of course both are bloody. Listen:

*"[Harsh mechanical-like sounds] Officer Knight, I'm so disappointed in you. What happened the other night? I know you were busy but shit... None of you guys came to the party. Unfortunate. Lucky for me though, there are still plenty of other fish in the sea. So many more people willing to meet up. [Sound of a chair(?)] [Someone else: "Please don't, please don't..."] Why the long face? Are you scared? There's nothing to be afraid of... Dying is easy... there's really nothing that you need to do but scream in pain, and I'm sure that'll be involuntary so I wouldn't even put too much thought into it.*

*Are you religious though? That's what you should be worried about? Are you going to Heaven? or Hell? I'm afraid you won't have time to repent... so best to make due with the situation you've been given. Tell me you love satan. [Other guy: "Sure, I love Satan!"] Hmmmm... not very convincing. [Sound of drill] Swear it! Swear to me that you love satan. [Other guy: "I swear I swear I swear!!"] There, was that so hard? At least you'll be in better graces with the dark lord when you arrive. [Drill starts up again, sound of drill into flesh and man pleading for it to stop followed by sounds of dripping]."*

But the laugh sounds different, and the voice...this isn't Jasper, this is someone else. Possible complication for the case.

Brian and Baas discuss where they're at with the case. Andi has some more information. Gonna create two reports, one redacted.

Andi reviews her written notes: Dwayne and Choi and communication with Jasper. Similar as what she said before. Talk on serial killers. Talk on "consequences" vigilante group: Thomas Dwayne, Dr. Choi, Flop Dugong, Father Tanner, Bryce Miller, Isabella Carrington, Gemma Knight.

Apparently Jasper was planning to use c4 at his birthday party, but it was determined Jasper gave differing times and places for the party though. There seems to be a chance Chasity would testify against Jasper. Knowledge from Dwayne. Also Dwayne thinks Brian name-dropped him. Jasper called Andi from prison: he was disappointed Andi didn't visit him. She showed and learned Jasper called Kenneth Jesperson to make cassette tapes to try to throw the trial while he was in Bolingbroke. Interesting that he would relay this information. Why, and to what extent does he trust Andi? Ah ha, we'll fake Andi's death! It will be set up as if Jesperson did it, and we'll even video it like a snuff film! It will also irate Chasity. Yes! Okay back to the story. There's like a video of the Consequences group hammering Mr. Smiley's mask to his face? Andi additionally says she recorded Mr. Smiley - he definitely made a Jasper-like tape.

Brian and Baas talk on raid for Jasper, then the PD readies. Raid commences. Brian and Baas turn Jasper's apartment upside down, looking for any extra tapes or his recorder. Back and forth talk with Jasper. Cars now. All clean, nothing found so far. Brian makes a light comment about Abigail in Hell - Jasper stays silent, but his mouth starts to bleed from clenching. Back at the penitentiary, Brian and Baas recommend Biblical studies for Jasper the inmate and that the DOC receiving him, Insley(?), dye her hair blonde. And laminated photos of his father. As they leave, Brian and Baas discuss some more.

Brian and Baas talk on when the case will be held and which witnesses to bring in. Baas says yesterday a bail hearing was held for Jasper - he was kept on hold, yet in return this case needs expedited apparently. Brian and Baas talk with Soze very briefly on Jasper. And DOJ. Larry says case date requested by this Saturday.

Maze and Nicole Rivers. Nikki says she plans on testifying in court on Jasper's behalf as a character witness: she doesn't want the death penalty given, only life in prison. Wrangler joins the trio. Maze brings up what he sees as a possible complication for the case. No worries about that, we're on it. After speaking with this group, Brian radios Baas directly to inform that Nikki knows about the murders and more from Jasper.

To Bolingbroke for a prison riot which leads to a molly thrown which takes out 5 officers - Chang, Jasper, Bovice, among others, are all inside and awake... some coordination on the inmates part and Chang, Jasper, Tobi, etc. swiftly take their exit. Some medical attention later, Brian speaks with Forcer. Lauren's irate on the situation - she was on the outside attempting to negotiate on the PD's behalf. Brian, on the topic of Jasper, says an innocent man does not escape - now Jasper's a dead man walking. PD recoups, gathering evidence and counting weapons.

Jasper calls. He's made good friends, acquired information, and broken out of Bolingbroke. It doesn't seem like he likes court rooms; he wants to be killed if ever caught again. He also mentions he knows of Brian's meddling with his character witnesses.

Mikey Rivers calls - he seems just a bit mad, he heard that Brian may have harassed one of his family members. Most likely Nikki. He threatens cutting his information line with the PD.

Brian is called to MRPD - a voice comes from behind the receptionist desk: it's Maze hiding. He's freaking out because Jasper wants to meet and he's afraid he's gonna die.

Forcer and Divine. Jasper also called Divine: he still wants an interview and is willing to kidnap him and Raven for one. Forcer says Jasper works with the Smileys. Well yea, he works with all the serial killers. Brian explains the serial killer union, Chasity, etc. Forcer says the Illuminati group has a spun out group known as Imperium: the consequences group. So many people it's a shitshow now. Forcer sighs, she's thinking of giving up investigating. Brian verbally agrees, pulling out his AR. Conversation now about gunning down criminals. Talk on Chasity's death, who was a main focus of one of Forcer's investigations for many months. Talk also on Tobi, who turned himself in to admit to 30 attacks, yet was placed on investigative hold as the DA/ADA has not been yet available. Talk on DOJ. More talk on civs, crims, PD...

Texts from Baas, but it was a ruse (Brian currently suspended from PD duties at the time).

Judge discusses setting a reward for the capture of Jasper, Brian and Baas say no actually, for reasons.

Baas says he's been talking with Joshua Wade in an attempt to catch Jasper.

[Refer "The 9s".] Jasper calls, asks if Baas is alright. Seems he knew Baas was a target, and the involved group was the 9s, but that's all the info he's willing to give. Jasper mentions a "Beatrice" was the first victim of the 9s group. There is another target on the table for this group...no name provided to Brian. Jasper brings up another group, the New World Order - "killer of killers". Though they haven't killed any serial killers at all, Jasper notes. Brian and Jasper continue their talk on the ever-evolving serial killers in the city.

Jasper calls, more information on Baas. Jasper seems to think there is a relation to Fug with Baas' incident. He had been invited to join.

Maze has information on where Jasper is possibly hiding.

Brian, Wrangler, and Baas talk on Jasper. Mona Sanchez may be able to lead them to Jasper, in return for her to receive a deal from the state concerning some drug trafficking charges. She probably doesn't have any useful information anymore though.

Brian, Baas, and Dan discuss Jasper tweeting cryptic messages.

Some days later, Dan calls Brian to inform of Jasper's recent activity: Dr. Choi is apparently ranked as number one on the serial killer’s list. And he's training new serial killers?! Dan and Brian take a heli to the mountains to search, where Jasper says he is. No sign though, even with the spotlight. Divine radios over that a woman is currently being held up by Jasper in the slaughterhouse. As Dan and Brian rush to the location, Brian meets the heli blades on a heli landing and a visit by EMS is needed.

Divine finds 2 notes at the slaughterhouse taunting the PD, but no Jasper or the kidnappee. One reads "COME AND SAVE HER!" and the other "GETTING SCARED?" The trio discuss. Perhaps this woman is just acting? Perhaps this is a Jasper copycat? What's the game here? A tweet by Jasper saying he's on a mountain, then this woman's call soon after indicating a different location for Jasper, then surprise from Jasper when confronted about the woman... First tweet could be an alibi. Could be tests of the PD by Jasper. Etc. What's he playing at?

#### **[ARC] - Consequences/Imperium**

[ILLUMINATI SPIN OFF GROUP] [Known as "IMPERIUM" yet referenced as "Consequences" before Brian knew of name.]

Mysterious phone call - "actions have consequences" and Brian needs to visit the Paleto church / Hillside church immediately. Gonna have to wait, Brian's playing judge in a case. PN again - 30 minutes, a person's life depends on it. PN again - 5 minutes! Standing Judge Brian moves the bench trial between Chang (calling entrapment) and Baas continues in a car. On scene, woman in red in critical condition. Nametag sewn onto skin: "Evie Quinn". Then a call again: "Brian...good bye". Ya that's it for the call.

Siz thanks Brian for references to videos found in the HOA tavern - on location, Brian finds a logo resembling a wolf(?) with 4 red slashes on the floor, held in place by a tooth-shaped rock. Next to it is a cheap electronic tablet with a video entitled Consequences playing on repeat. It's only a few seconds long so Brian watches an iteration.

Raphael mentions one of the notes.

Brian finds a tablet wrapped in paper; it's offline. Written on the paper is the name Kenneth Jesperson, identified as Mr. Smiley. Crimes are listed and his consequences are indicated to be on the tablet. Turning it on, a YouTube video is loaded.

Vale shares a MDT report.

Simon calls; he says there are at least two "Consequences" videos. He also talks on his smiley face carving and on the "Betty" video. He freaks out about all these people and groups then starts asking questions.

Chasity calls; she didn't expect Brian to be awake. Brian talks about the potential riot about to erupt over who's the mayor and it's silent on Chasity's end of the line. Chasity? Oh, technical difficulties. They plan to meet. What for, again? Maybe Jasper? Chasity claims she can bring him in. What does she gain in this deal, Brian wonders. And is she working with the Consequences group as well? What are her connections?

Jasper calls Brian; what's the officer going to get him for his upcoming birthday, maybe a knife? Brian asks about the Consequences group. Jasper doesn't specifically say it's that particular group - he says a lot of people are after him rather. Jasper's keeping the number of those near him small. Moroz' name is quite familiar to Jasper...

Over a week later, Mickey says he has info on Jasper, Chasity, and a group called "Consequences".

Andi reviews her written notes with Brian and Baas: Dwayne and Choi and communication with Jasper. Similar as what she said before. Talk on serial killers. Talk on "consequences" vigilante group: Thomas Dwayne, Dr. Choi, Flop Dugong, Father Tanner, Bryce Miller, Isabella Carrington, Gemma Knight.

A speeding car chase leads to a crash: inside were Apples, Gerard Hawthorne, and Cedric Stanfield. The location of the crash was the scene of another incident involving Dwayne and Choi. Officers already at this scene, Underwood and Mack, spoke that they had Dwayne and Choi in custody. Apparently these two had stabbed August in an airport hangar and this involved Garage Q and August questioning Dwayne about a "League of Insanity". Choi is labeled as Dwayne's girlfriend. Hawthorne and and Stanfield are let go; Brian recommends the other officers take Dwayne and Choi into an investigation room.

Brian speaks to Malton about the Illuminati group. Good section on Dr. Choi.

Brian's given a note: it reads, "i know who killed Chasity'. It was given to Brian by dispatch, who got it from Andi who solved it, who got it from a text message from Tobi.

Forcer and Divine. Jasper also called Divine: he still wants an interview and is willing to kidnap him and Raven for one. Forcer says Jasper works with the Smileys. Well yea, he works with all the serial killers. Brian explains the serial killer union, Chasity, etc. Forcer says the Illuminati group has a spun out group known as Imperium: the consequences group. With the name revealed, we can now refer to them as Imperium from here on out. So many people it's a shitshow now. Forcer sighs, she's thinking of giving up investigating. Brian verbally agrees, pulling out his AR. Conversation now about gunning down criminals. Talk on Chasity's death, who was a main focus of one of Forcer's investigations for many months. Talk also on Tobi, who turned himself in to admit to 30 attacks, yet was placed on investigative hold as the DA/ADA has not been yet available. Talk on DOJ. More talk on civs, crims, PD...

Phone call from someone who says it's been about 2 months since he and Brian have talked. He wants to know what happened in Chasity's final moments - he says other people who also want the information of what happened to Chasity are being "more bloody" about it. He remarks on the link between Chasity and Jasper. For the sake of a name, he requests to be called "Hera". "I stopped Chasity from attacking about 6-8 different people. I wouldn't necessarily say I worked with her; I made deliberate attempts to keep her alive." He says everyone's human and makes mistakes - Brian says fuck that, she's a serial killer. The guy sighs and hangs up. Hmm. Seconds later, Brian's cell rings: same guy, says he was interrupted by someone. Hera claims Chasity wanted to die and those who killed her gave her exactly what she wanted. Rather, it was a far greater punishment to keep her alive. Yet if she truly wanted to die, why did she defend herself in court? The response is that the DOJ is unreliable. Brian brings up the firing squad that carried out the death penalty imposed less than a week ago for someone else. Talk on an unknown third party that entered Chasity's life and took many of her falls in her place. This guy wants a lead and doesn't want to speak to Jasper to get it. He refers to having attempted execution of Jasper prior as he considers Jasper a psychopath who enjoys the torture and cares only for himself. He also mentions a previous Parsons incident that involved Kenneth Jesperson - Hera does not see the actions from that night as "just" or "holy". On Jasper, Hera says "the only thing that will do him justice is a 45 caliber bullet placed between the eyes, and I already tried that once". Dude really has an agenda, really wants a lead. He lists some people he has as possible suspects for the death of Chasity: Alexandra Moroz: likes guns. Kenneth Jesperson: known to have wanted to kill Chasity because she leaked information on the Smileys. Tobi Argent: Chasity once attacked him. Thomas Dwyane: considered definite suspect. Gemma Knight: suspect. Also a group who calls themselves "The Order" who dress in suits. Selene Nightingale. Matilda Adams. The Lunatics. There's a call for an officer down - we'll continue the conversation later.

Brian motions for Baas to meet - he very briefly tells of the phone call from earlier.

Hera calls. Information is requested in turn for him to not return to old habits of killing. Thomas Dwayne maybe killed Chasity? Kenneth Jesperson? Alexandra Moroz? And some other people mentioned before. Talk on justice and DOJ. Apparently more killers are emerging from the shadows since Chasity's death.

Months later, Flop tells about Dwayne's true colors. Apparently Dwayne also was the one to shoot Chasity. According to Flop the original intent of the Illuminati group was to work as an informant source for the PD yet as time progresses became more violent.

The Changaloa Cartel again crosses the PD's radar - more hostages are involved. Brian manages to take a few hostages to safety in Sandy Shores and an unexpected welcome of class 2 gunfire - found the cartel! Quick Pillbox trip then the cartel and PD continue to square off. Tuong sends a series of 911 calls with information; the PD considers if this is misleading intel. An airplane is spotted and the PD try to determine what the cartel is exactly doing as they track the plane's path. This all leads to a shootout at Grandma's - PD eventually decides to push in the lower floor basement and soon find themselves on the ground.

Brian and other officers are brought outside, where they are later blown up. Brian's pulse slows and his breathing is shallow; he's now covered in burns and has multiple GSWs. The EMS race to bring back the senior officer's vitals, calling in an emergency medical helicopter. Minutes later, EMS lands on the heli pad on the roof of Pillbox Medical and Brian is taken inside. There, doctors immediately begin surgery. Two doctors work quickly in tandem, fighting to bring Brian's vitals to normal levels. Dr. Choi joins in the effort. The skilled doctors do their best but it's determined Brian needs to be admitted into the ICU.

Baas is emotional, calling Brian his "boyfriend" and claiming to be his emergency contact. Records are checked: Dan Faily, Kael Soze, Tony Andrews, A.J. Hunter, and... no Sam Baas. Everything slowly fades to black.

Brian expresses interest in a PD union – lawyer Bill Maze runs with the idea and offers his services. He creates a formal document that outlines the group “Los Santos Police Association” with Brian as a founding member. There will be membership fees, and members are limited to the ranks of solo cadet to no higher than senior officers. At the moment we’re limiting to only the LSPD as well. The union offers representation for PD members in sorta response to the creation of the Internal Affairs division.

A phone call from Maze later and Brian determines that corruption exists within HC. More surprising news is revealed when linking with Maze again, and the lawyer, Brian, and Baas speak on the DOJ and future actions. They reach out to Judge Coyote, who learns of this IA mess and recommends a mistrial be filed with him specifically should this case be lost in court. Oh, and this conversation with Coyote never happened, wink. Brian must convince Baas to return on duty the next day. “IA’s become a tool for a political agenda.” Brian and Maze invite Baas to join the PD union then talk some more.

This Arc is a tangent extension from "[ARC] - Vampire / Smileys" and "[ARC] - Chasity/Moroz/Snuff" Refer those Arcs as well.

* Lots prior - just search for "Moroz"
* 243 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/758851843?t=2h49m31s (MOROZ) Phone call PN

Phone call from a PN: "I may or may have done some pretty terrible things with somebody...but it was not of my own volition and I was manipulated into doing it. And this person is now currently coming after me...and I'm probably going to die. But I don't want what I went through to be in vain - I just don't know if it's worth it for me to come forward with the information or not." This person continues to say he/she isn't the only one being hunted right now, either. This hunter is confirmed to be an active serial killer, but the caller won't divulge a specific name. The caller plans to call back after checking some things on his/her side first.

* 243 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/758851843?t=3h5m10s (MOROZ) Return call

Another call from the same person, 15 minutes later. The hunter's name: Alexandra Moroz. This caller doesn't willingly give details and doesn't think he/she has any evidence besides his/her word. Moroz would tell him/her what she did and he/she has a few victim names: Petunia Brookshire, stabbed at Humane Labs; Joshua Wade / Fug, shot with AK-47 in Paleto. Their attacks were close in time to each other. Then, Moroz contracted out her services. The caller and Moroz had at least one job together: Jennifer Slime victim, stabbed at lighthouse a little over a month ago. So why did things sour between the caller and Moroz? Apparently Moroz found someone more entertaining - and now the caller is a loose end. Brian tells the caller to reach out again if there's any more information.

While Soze and Brian enjoy their time at the VU, Brian unloads multiple shots from his AR into one of the women. EMS arrives as she remains unresponsive, blood pouring from her wounds, and she's admitted into the ICU. Metzger calls Malton over 311. Conan spins a story to one of the other women in the VU, Evie Quinn, that Brian loves her and she celebrates in the face of an unwilling Brian. Malton pulls Brian aside to question him about what happened earlier. Brian says he was kidnapped and taken to one of the rooms. Malton continues his questioning. Metzger and Conan join, Metzger organizing evidence and Conan beside himself that Brian shot a stripper. Now Soze, who whispers he cleaned the area with bleach - but only after Metzger catalogued it. Brian, Conan, and Soze discuss their options, including altering evidence, stealing evidence, marrying certain people which would affect court proceedings, ordering a hit to kidnap Metzger, claiming insanity, claiming drug use... Malton requests Brian's AR for evidence logging. Soze and Brian drive off on a search for heroine: Soze finds some bags of meth, some old oxy, and some old LSD. Plan is to mix it all up, put it in a needle, and take a picture with Brian. They prepare a cover story that the VU had a needle left on the VU seat and in Stab City Brian takes the mix of drugs with Soze taking a photo of Brian's ass. Soze radios in that he found the needle just now and is taking Brian to medical attention - by the time they reach Pillbox, Brian in unconscious. Dan shows and radios to Casterman to take the report.

Svenson officially suspends Brian now because of the heroin and the stripper. On suspension while Malton leads the IA investigation.

King, Baas, and some other PD members join a new radio channel with Brian and AJ, who continue their PD work with some limitations but no paperwork.
While videoing from a roof with AJ behind a dumpster with a boom mic, Brian missteps off the edge and tumbles, landing right next to Metzger doing a generic stop. The camera still rolling and AJ still capturing sound, Metzger slowly turns, looks at Brian's unconscious body, and says, "Brian I suggest you get out of here before I arrest you for obstruction," before calmly continuing his stop. Eventually, Metzger picks up Brian and moves him to a nearby dumpster - AJ confronts Metzger over Brian's bloody body and EMS take Brian to Pillbox, where he undergoes surgery. He wakes, and Brian, AJ, and Dan talk about this IA corruption and their evidence.

#### **[ARC] - Attack on Dan**

Refer also "PD Union / IA / HC".

A frantic Dan escapes for his life with Brian and Maze's help after he endures an intense 'training exercise' that included the threat of waterboarding led by Metzger. They succeed in sneaking Dan out of the MRPD away from Metzger but need medical treatment for Dan: they avoid Pillbox, and sure enough, Metzger makes a quick sweep of the hospital soon thereafter as Brian speaks to Dr. Archer Weston. With Maze and Dan hiding, Brian approaches AJ to enlist his help - they pull the tape recordings without a hitch, besides passing Divine in the hallway, and manage to 42. Sydney is planned to take a report from Dan - the latter believes we can trust her.

Maze sits too close to a campfire and now also needs medical attention. A pit stop at Q for Brian and AJ doesn't go so well. At their meeting location in Paleto, Tyrone also shows and sees everybody (he was accidently pinged by Maze). The group moves locations and discusses their predicament. Brian now brings Judge Coyote into the fray. The search continues for a doctor who will work with them: AJ brings in Dr. Kennedy and Brian Villin.

Coyote calls again with news that the DA isn't cooperating. Via a phone call Brian learns Tyrone got ahold of Metzger and the assistant chief ended on the ground. Ant suddenly shows: she had been riding jet skis with Jasper and spotted the group. Time to switch locations again. Dan now gives his report to Sydney.

Another call from Coyote, he has an idea of initiating a bar review on the DA. Kennedy and Villin let known Metzger gave an order to not work on specific individuals just hours ago. Sydney continues taking notes. Tyrone calls with more info: Metzger just tried to bribe him with 30k for intel and a cop was on their tail. They all move locations again and continue conversing for a while before parting ways.

Brian gives an update to Baas of the current situation. Meeting with Coyote, Maze joins. Coyote is updated with details. Maze recommends looking at other lawyers. Would be nice to have more evidence. Bar review to be had for DA Larry Hallow; Stanton is floored with the information on Larry. Stanton and Crawford are told of Brian's upcoming case.

Talk with Maze, who says Ridley spoke with Metzger yesterday before knowing of the full situation. Determined best to have Maze lead case rather than provide a personal testimony. At MRPD Brian and Baas share a conversation with Op Divine: questioning on both sides. Katya given witness list for bar complaint against Larry. Need certainties on who is willing to show. Brian and Baas continue their conversation with Divine; is he actually an Op? Or was he just misunderstood?

There's a report concerning Dan by Nancy. Dan tells more of his torture/'training'. Rhodes had escorted Dan to the room. Lot of mention of "piggy". Relates back to that report worked by Nancy. Brian and Dan look to talk to Dr. Choi regarding their ask for her help in disciplinary action for Dr. Jenetti(?): they both are cautious with what they say. Following, Brian and Dan discuss corruption. Brian, Dan, and Maze discuss upcoming bar review for Larry and other people/happenings.

Continuation of discussion on corruption within the PD with Maze. Details and timelines ironed out as we need to determine a select few witnesses as there is a cap on the number. Basically they talk on the several cases going on all at once.

Stanton shows his stressed reaction to this whole situation. We still need to finalize a list of witnesses.

Maze says special prosecutors can press charges if they have detailed knowledge and are appointed by a judge - he's been in the capacity as a special prosecutor before, and can thus push this case of charges on the DA himself. Need to talk to Coyote. Baas and Dan arrive and Maze repeats the plan. The lawyer plans to step away from the DOJ after this all goes down. Quick talk on preparations and what still needs transferred/completed/checked.
