Frozen Reception/Transcript

Annabel: Alright everyone we're here.  , let me be the first to welcome you to High-Top!

Isabel: Marco and I grew up around here, so we can say from experience this place is pretty progressive politically. Not to mention a lot of the people are really nice around here.

Annabel: That may be so, but if what we learned from Horatio Kowalski's belongings, here is where we'll find the black market's drug trade.

Hunter: Well since we also put an end to Mr. Reus' reign of terror, I'm sure this'll be nothing!

Annabel: Don't get so cocky Captain Sandoval, who knows what they intend to do to ensure we don't ruin their operation.

Annabel: , I'm sending you, Detective Bryant, and Lieutenant Watson to investigate Warrenville National Park. That place has many blind spots, easy for the black market to take advantage of.

Isabel: Right, I'll grab Sonia and meet you there .

Chapter 1
Investigate National Park

Sonia: Well, that's not gonna be helpful. This man looks like he fell off a cliff.

Isabel: This doesn't look to be a fall, check out the stomach, it looks like he sustained some bruises. I don't think was a simple misstep, this was murder!

Sonia: In that case we better get this man to autopsy right away, hopefully Daphne can get something for us.

Sonia: We'll still need a witness, someone who can tell us who this guy is. Hey, aren't those pieces of a badge?

Isabel: Looks like it, we better piece them back together. And if you want to search those rocks while you're at it , then let's get digging.

Isabel: I didn't think a murder like this could happen in my home, but we better make sure whoever did it won't get off easy!

Autopsy the Victim's Body

Daphne: You know, I didn't think gravity could be so brutal, but I guess a fall into a rocky ground will do that to you.

Isabel: So the fall did kill him?

Daphne: Yep, and there were plenty of bruises around the victim's abdominal area. But no defensive bruises on his knuckles, so the killer must've caught him off guard when they pushed him off.

Sonia: Was there anything about our killer?

Daphne: Yes actually, the abdominal area yielded plenty of results. I found traces of pine, and the smell was still fresh.

Daphne: Here, have a smell for yourself.

Sonia: I'd... rather not.

Isabel: *sniff sniff* Hey you're right, that's some pine smell.

Daphne: And if your victim got this smell on them, then chances are your killer will too.

Sonia: Guess now we'll have to keep our eyes AND our noses opened for our pine-scented killer.

Examine Pile of Rocks

Isabel: Is that a paper cup you found in those rocks?

Sonia: It looks like there's some blood on it, we better see what Victor has to say about it.

Analyze Paper Cup

Victor: Hello again guys, guess what, my novel on Reus has gotten many hits online!

Isabel: Glad to here Victor, but did you have time to analyze the cup we sent you?

Victor: Oh right, sorry. Anyways, the blood belonged to your victim, but the contents of the cup proved to be quite interesting to say the least.

Sonia: How so?

Victor: I found a mixture of sugar and water, and it had been frozen. These are the ingredients of a slushy.

Victor: Daphne told me there was no trace of any slushies in the victim's stomach, so it had to be the killer who drank it.

Sonia: Well if our killer likes it cold, then prison won't be too different for them.

Examine Broken Badge

Sonia: Alright, looks like this is an animal ranger's badge!

Isabel: It belongs to a certain Samuel Woods, he must be around here. Let's go see the animal ranger and see if he noticed anything.

Talk to Samuel about the victim's presence at the park

Isabel: Are you Samuel Woods?

Samuel: That I am, welcome to Warrenville National Park. How can I help you?

Sonia: We're with the Warrenville Police Department and we found a man murdered closeby. Do you recognize him?

Samuel: Let me see, well holy smokes!

Samuel: The man here is Duncan Huffman, I've got him trying to hunt in the park for sometime.

Isabel: Hunt here? But that's illegal!

Samuel: Trust me I know, these poor animals have enough trouble on their own, and we don't need anyone killing them!

Samuel: Duncan just complained he didn't have any good hunting grounds anymore, but that's no excuse for breaking the law!

Sonia: Do you know anyone who might've wanted him dead?

Samuel: Duncan's mindset was put towards an older time, so as you can imagine, he's not exactly a favorite amongst most people here.

Samuel: But killing of any kind is not condoned in this park, or anywhere else! I hope you find them soon.

Isabel: Well, he seemed nice, and very caring.

Sonia: Right, we at least know who our victim is, and since he was pushed off that cliff...

Sonia: I saw we should head up and take a look for ourselves.

Investigate Cliff

Sonia: If our victim was pushed off here, maybe his killer left something behind.

Isabel: Well this backpack certainly raises some eyebrows. Who'd leave this, we better look through to see who owns this.

Isabel: And who the heck would drop this inhaler? They really oughta keep a better grip on their belongings.

Sonia: I can't tell who this belongs to, but this tag might help. "If lost, return to..."

Sonia: The snow must've faded the name on the tag, we better recover it.

Examie Inhaler

Isabel: Well, it looks like whoever owns this inhaler was nice enough to leave their name on it to be returned to them.

Sonia: It belongs to a Danny Herman, we better give this back to him and ask why he was here.

Ask Danny why he was at the cliff

Danny: Hello officers, how are you?

Isabel: Hey little boy, we're looking for Danny Herman, you know him?

Danny: That's me, hey that's my inhaler!

Sonia: A child? Oh dear.. I'm not good at this.

Danny: Not good at what?

Isabel: Danny, we're investigating a murder, a man named Duncan Huffman was pushed off a cliff.

Danny: Mr. Huffman? The hunter guy Mr. Huffman?

Danny: Honestly, I didn't like him, he hurts animals.

Sonia: We found this inhaler by the cliff he was pushed off of, can you tell us why it was there?

Danny: I lost it a few days ago when I was playing in the snow. I felt bad about losing it, but my uncle told me he'd get me a new one.

Isabel: You live with your uncle?

Danny: Uh huh, my mom's out on a business trip and my dad's been gone for a few years.

Sonia: He left?

Danny: Nope, he died.

Isabel: Oh, well we'll come talk to you again if we need to. Bye Danny.

Examine Backpack

Isabel: Hey a trophy, who'd keep something like this in their backpack?

Sonia: Apparently, someone named Umbrielle Vaughn. This does look to be her's.

Isabel: If she was here, she might've seen Mr. Huffman before he died. We better go see this Umbrielle Vaughn.

Talk to Umbrielle about her hike near the crime scene

Isabel: Miss Vaughn, did you leave your backpack at the national park?

Unbrielle: Yes actually, I was wondering where it was. I left it behind so I could do some hiking, but I kinda went far.

Sonia: You take your hiking pretty seriously I take it?

Umbrielle: Very much so, I need to if I have any chances at winning this year's hiking competition again!

Isabel: Anyways, a man named Duncan Huffman was pushed off the cliff your backpack was near. Do you know him?

Umbrielle: I can't say that name rings a bell, I don't have time to know people who aren't the competiton, so I gotta keep training. See ya!

Sonia: Well she was no help, we better find some people who knew Duncan if we're gonna get anywhere in this investigation.

Back at the station...

Isabel: Looks like a trip home only yielded yet another murder investigation so far.

Sonia: And from the looks of it, our victim wasn't that liked around here.

Sonia: Danny and Samuel didn't like him due to his hobby for hunting, especially around the national park.

Isabel: But it doesn't look like we're going anywhere so far. If only we knew more about our victim- Luke: Hey guys!

Sonia: EEEEK! Luke, stop doing that!

Luke: Sorry, but I got some news for you.

Luke: I found where your victim was before he died!
