Plot
The player was gladly welcomed to the International Crime Police Organization after being inducted via their work in cities in the past. The player was told that they were to patrol in the ICPO's main headquarters: New York. Agent Immanuil Cherenkov and detective Vaishnavi Kumaran were assigned as the partners for the players as they solved international crimes. Immanuil then decided to show the player around New York. Unfortunately, Mayor Skye Rollins of New York was found on the busy streets of the city, stabbed through the heart. At the Grand Central Terminal, her murder weapon was found, a carving knife. Soon, her killer was revealed to be bar owner Melissa Fontaine.
When Immanuil and the player apprehended Melissa, she refused to confess, until enough evidence was shown. She then bowed down to the player, telling that she was hired to kill the mayor of New York, as she was deemed to be a threat by a group called "The Ringmasters", a group responsible for all the terror in the world. Melissa revealed that if she slew Mayor Rollins, then she would not suffer "the drastic repercussions". She then was sent to Judge Bellerose.
Judge Bellerose was not lenient with the sentence, as she believed that the Ringmaster group posed a threat to the entire world. She said that Melissa could have lived a normal, happy life had she not slain the mayor of New York. The judge told that if Melissa didn't want to suffer "drastic repercussions", she should not have been a member of the Ringmasters in the first place. Melissa was ordered a sentence of 40 years in jail with no chance of parole.
