Case Background[]
Meanwhile the player was spending his "holidays", Franco called and offered them to watch a baseball game between the local team, the Darnestown Warriors, and the Tristan City Coconuts. The player accepted the invitation and drove to the stadium. Once there, Franco gave the player the ticket to enter to the stadium and enjoyed the game. Unfortunately, the Warriors lost by a lot of points and the detective was upset with the umpire, saying she had all the fault, because there were some balls she didn't count and kicked player off the game without reason. Suddenly, the player noticed somethig wrong was happening at that moment, which Franco pointed it was the upire falling to the ground, unconscious. They called for back- up and ordered everyone who was in the stadium, to leave.
After the forensic team reported Chief Maddavar the umpire was dead, he ordered the player to begin the murder investigation. The victim, Bertha Wormon, was lying dead in the middle of the stadium with a wound in her head made by a baseball, which, as Clair reported to the team back in her lab, caused her a head trauma and killed her instantly. She stablished that, by the force the ball should have gone to perform the murder and the weather conditions given at the moment, only a person in proper form would be able to commit it. In other words, the killer would have to be athletic.
Before Chapter 2, Franco was doing a recap. There, the detective felt sorry for Jonathan Hitwell, who could barely stand in his two feet after knowing that Bertha was dead, but showed his anger towards Quinn Perkins, whose attitude was mean against the team. But when they were going to talk about Peggy Rinccino, a hot dog seller who was infuriated about the victim taking bribes, Chief Maddavar announced a massive manifestation was going to take place in the stadium's parking. Worried about possible evidence getting compromised by police negligence, Maddavar sent the team to recover the evidence and calm down the people. They eventually found evidence that helped them to interrogate an old suspect and to discover the killer was allergic to pollen.
At the end of the chapter, Franco was satisfied with the way the investigation was taking and was delighted of the hot dog they had eaten. The player made him go back from the moon to try to recap all the information they found. The team found out that Quinn and Bertha were in the same year in high-school, but the victim bullied the CEO. They also interrogate a little kid named Greg Fillipa, who was mad with the victim because the awful performance the umpire made. However, this didn't take much time, since Chief Maddavar met the player and thier partner to tell them that someone tried to steal the victim's car. In the end, it was proven the one who tried to perform the robbery was also the one who killed Bertha: a baseball player called Jonathan Hitwell.
Hitwell decided to take over his acts when the player showed him all the evidence. He didn't plan the murder, it unconsciously happened. After getting notified that Bertha would cheat on the next match, she was going to be bribed and, if the Warriors would tried to complain, she would hide the evidence, and, without proof, they would be discualifed for the league. Hitwell had his doubts with this especulation, so he didn't take actions. But, when the match started, he could see that Bertha was unfair with the results. At the end of the game, Hitwell lost all his hopes about winning the match, but what drove him mad was the member of the Coconuts paying Bertha "for her services". Jonathan revealed that, when he is very angry, he hits a ball with his bat, but that day, he had the worst luck in the world: the ball strucked Bertha's head when she, moments before, removed her helmet. Franco was sad about how everything result but he had to be responsible of his actions.
In the court, Judge Milena showed really disappointed with Hitwell. She couldn't believe such a talent player was ending his career by an accidental murder. Jonathan blamed himself for being really fool and trust what he said. The judge was surprised about his statement and asked him who he was. The killer had no idea, since he only met him one time, but he told Milena that this person revealed him the victim's crooked behaviour. The judge was shocked about that, since someone else also murdered a person thanks to the information a mysterious informant had. She asked him how did he met him, which the killer answered that everything seemed to be in order to arrange the meeting. As Hitwell didn't have much information about who the Informant was, and knowing the murder was not premeditated, the judge sentenced him to 12 years in prison with no possible chance of parole.
After returning to the court, Chief Maddavar ordered the player to investigate more about the mysterious informant who striked back. Anna mentioned Quinn Perkins must know when the killer and the informant met. The entrepenuer commented the team all of Hitwell's meeting wre listed on her tablet, which she lost after eating a hot dog from the stadium's stand. When the player found it and deciphered the password, he send it to Doan, who revealed the player that Jonathan had two meetings before the murder: one with his manager and the other with a person who was killed on a car accident two years ago. Franco was shocked about the informant using identity of dead people and, with this clue, the team visited the killer in the prison and talked about the mysterious person. Hitwell didn't recognized the person, and told the team that he gave him a wooden chest with "the solution of his problems". The killer didn't trust in his words, so he never opened the chest and he left it on the Warrior's bank back in the stadium.
Wedded to this clue, the team searched and found the chest, opened it with a picklock and discovered a grotesque object inside: a blowpipe with two darts covered in a glossy, green liquid. Franco and the player agreed that was poison and the Informant wanted to kill Bertha, using Hitwell as a scapegoat. The player spotted some strange hair attached in the blowpipe, which they collected a sample. After sending it to the lab, Fitz was in shock about the results. He revealed to the team that the hairs were from the wig that was used to provoke Nevada's murder. Then, this confirmed that the Informant was the one who caused all the murders they investigated at the moment, and he or she was playing with them a morbid game. Unfortunately for the team, Shannon Kitt was listening to the conversation and, to persuade her, Franco begged his friend to not make any comments in the newspaper about this serial killer. Shannon accepted it discontently, but Franco promised her she will be the one who will publish about it after everything got solved.
Chief Maddavar couldn't believe that someone was playing a cat and mouse game with them. He yelled they should be one step ahead the serial killer and not otherwise. After calming himself down, the chief entrusted the player a Franco to keep an eye on Kingsley's Night Club since a local famous DJ was going to do a private concert and, as he supposed, he would be a target for the Informant.
