The Heinous Painting/Dialogues

Octavius: What's so bad about the Cultural Center? Can you tell me?  doesn't know either. Lindsey: It always happens in the last days of December, right after Christmas. Lindsey: Last year, there were no cases those days so you didn't notice it, . Last year, when it happened, we were working in the Commercial Area. Gino: The Chief's birthday is on the 28th of December. But he doesn't really enjoy his birthday at all. Gino: I think it was twenty years ago, more or less. The Chief had invited us to his birthday party in his house. Everything was normal. Daniel: It was ten years ago, Gino. Lindsey and Sabrina weren't here, so only Evan, Gino and I were the ones from this team who went to his party. Daniel: Evan was just starting. In fact, he only did paperwork as he was 17. But the Chief got along with him, so Evan was invited to the party too. Evan: Some hours after midnight, when it was already the 29th, almost everyone had left. It was only me, the Chief, his wife, his daughter, Daniel and Gino. Evan: We were just about to leave and... Octavius: The Chief has a wife? Why did I never see her? Sabrina: When they were about to leave, she appeared behind the Chief with a gasoline container and a box of matchsticks. She burnt herself in front of the people who were there. Sabrina: I wasn't there but everyone says it was horrible. The backyard was all burnt. Octavius: And what about that daughter? Did she die in the fire too? Alan Smith: No. While crying, I put out the fire and took both to a hospital. My little daughter was able to survive, but my beloved Elena didn't. It was too late. Alan Smith: Now she lives in Blue Coasts, the same city where Sabrina Stone went on holidays some months ago. I lived in the Cultural Center when Elena burnt herself. Alan Smith: And that's why this district means so much to me.

Some days later...

Evan: Happy birthday, Chief.... Alan Smith: It's not happy, Evan. If I were happy, I would have smiled during that Christmas party. Evan: I appreciate you a lot, Chief. I even consider you my friend. And if you let me tell you something... Evan: Chief, about Elena, you know... I regret what happened to her, but we all need to move forward. Alan Smith: I can't move, Evan! My birthday just reminds me of that blue dress in the middle of those flames. Alan Smith: If I could move forward, my friend, I would have already moved. But Elena is the only woman I love. She's the only one I want. Alan Smith: She's gone, and she didn't tell me why! I could have helped her, we could have talked! She just disappeared from this world and I'm waiting for her to come for me. Evan: You are alive. And you can't waste the birthdays you have left just crying. Elena would like to see you happy, you should be happy, because she loved you. Alan Smith: No, Evan. I can't be happy when I lost the ones I love. Alan Smith: If you really want to help, our help might be needed in the Artclan exposition at the art museum. Go there. Evan: Yes, Chief.

At the exposition...

Tiffany: Are you police officers?! Evan: Yes, we are! What is your problem? Tiffany: There's blood in the paintings gallery! Please do something! Evan: , let's go!
