At 2:30 in the morning, the bartender at the Blue Heron found the owner's office torn apart. The safe was hanging open. Vincent Hale, the man who ran the best jazz club on State Street, was gone.
The Field team is already at the scene. HQ has the precinct files. Sunrise is at 6:52. Find Vince before it comes up.
With two players, each takes a side. With a group, split into two teams. The case only cracks when the two sides share what they've found.
Follow the trail: Vince's wrecked office, the club floor downstairs, the alley out back, and wherever they took him. Each place has a few things to search and one lock that gets you to the next, and most of those locks need something only HQ knows.
Best on a laptop or tablet
You're at the precinct records desk. Personnel files, suspect sheets, the city directory and a phone line. The Field team will need you to look things up, and you'll need their eyes on the scene.
