Dealing with a Mysterious Stone
In her trial, Ginger told the team that a stone had said to her that Bart needed to be killed. The stone also said that Ash Bison and The Vipers were right and that Ginger should join them. Michael felt that Ginger was playing the crazy card to protect herself, while Tim was outraged. Since a psychological analysis was needed to be done of Ginger, she was sent to Elana Siegel. After Elana confirmed that Ginger was sane, she was taken to the court. Judge Dante felt that the stone story was untrue, although Ginger insisted on the opposite, but he gave Ginger 40 years in prison with a chance of parole in 20 years.
Ginger had to be interrogated again about the stone. Elana Siegel joined the player for this task, while Tim wanted the player to help him put Ash behind bars once and for all. Ginger was clueles at why the player came to her prison, but said that she was at Bart's house when she felt that a stone was speaking to her. Following this lead, the team went to Bart's house and they found a newspaper article which said that a mysterious Mayan stone had gone missing. The historian Vanessa Nash told that she heard of a stone, but did not believe in it.
Chief Frezier was happy at the player's another success against The Rheans, but he felt troubled at this stone tale. Vanessa insisted that it was all fake, but the chief ordered Michael to go with the player to the Vipers' Headquarters and look for clues. They found that the stone could be linked to The Rheans. Back at the station Vanessa still insisted that the stone tale was fake and that a stone cannot logically talk, but the chief did not want to take any risks, and thus unlocked a new district for the player: Historical Center.
