Plot

Following Maxwell's kidnapping, Abaddon and Chief Galdwey have been working overtime looking for him. The good news came when some voices coming from the basement of an old house, which had the reputation of being haunted, were reported. Without Mona or Xavier to help, Evan accompanied the player to rescue Maxwell. Upon entering the building through a basement window, they found him in a bathtub without signs of life. When they were just outside, a rumble from the inside, that turned out to be the collapse of a part of the house, claimed one more victim, florist Evonne Moore.

Weapons expert, Xavier Hara, art store clerk, Julia Mc Clorey, and video game developer, Alleria Brown were considered suspects. Mid-investigation, the duo heard screams inside the station followed by a thud, so they went to investigate the root of it.

The screams came from Priscilla's lab, where they found Maxwell recovering over the autopsy table. He revealed that Evonne was 'THS' replacement, his kidnapper and that she injected him with a strange substance, which induced him to a state of catalepsy. BP's book club member, Diksha Amaro, and nutritionist, Dr. Damon Cody were also added to the suspects’ list. Soon, they found out that Alleria fought with Evonne before getting murdered because of her claims in the previous investigation and that Julia made an apple shrunken head similar to her, symbolizing that she defeated her and won her flower shop terrain to invest later in it. At the end of the chapter, Abaddon informed the team that Alleria was kidnapped while she was being taken into custody.
