Plot
The player arrived at Varini's police department only to be welcomed to the team by Chief Augustine Marchant. She then introduced the new detective to the team. She then encouraged the player to go take a break when Gabriel Michaux alerted the team of a homicide in Fraise Residences. The chief then assigned Agent Andreas Hartmann with the player to investigate the homicide.

The victim was a local named Michael McKay found slaughtered in an alleyway. Soon the murder weapon was revealed to be a pocket knife and the killer was found to be the victim's friend Eric Jackson. Eric said that the victim had dug too deep into a criminal gang residing in Fraise Residences. The gang leader had told Eric to kill Michael, who obliged as he had a personal motive of his own. The victim stole his girlfriend. For the charge of the remorseless murder of Michael McKay and his involvement with a criminal gang, the judge sentenced him to 45 years in prison.
