Case 20: Breaking a Heart

1

We have yet to hear from Natalie's team inside the asylum. The snipers looking at the roof have yet to see movement. About 12 minutes after the team entered the asylum on floor 1, we lost connection with them. Something isn't right. The infrared scan brings up the heat signatures on floor 1 as we would expect, but the communication line has been blocked.

The heat scan shows Natalie and the other officers on floor 1 but the signal is weak, and they seem to be stuck.

The communication signal is blocked. Something is wrong...

The drone is not able to see movement on the top level of the asylum. It would have to go inside to make sure no one is on level 5.

The drone was able to see a candle and a torch through a window!

The flames on level 5 were decoys for our heat scan! The men aren't on floor 5!

Get the situation under control! We need to arrest Nikita and see what happened in the asylum. There's no time to waste!

Nikita: What is going on here!? I didn't do anything wrong! Why am I being arrested?

Conclude Phase 1

1. What broke the police unit's communication?

 

2. Who killed Natalie Steel?

 

3. Who killed Snow?

Correct Answers

1. What broke the police unit's communication?

  • EMP

 

2. Who killed Natalie Steel?

  • Nikita

 

3. Who killed Snow?

  • Nikita

DNA and fingerprint analysis would be enough to lock away Nikita for good. We can test it against the victim found in Dimitri's lab, the girl he murdered in the Pines, and fingerprint fragments we found in the asylum.

The results of the DNA match the DNA of Nikita... but the fingerprints do not match... We know for a fact that he committed these crimes, but why don't the fingerprints match?

1. Why don't the fingerprints match with Nikita anymore?

Connecting the Dots...

Natalie Steel has fallen. My partner in crime, gone forever. The woman who saved my life, in my very own apartment from Brian Wolf. She gave her life to end the Scarlet Seal. I must complete her mission so her death is not meaningless. Nikita swapped places with his twin... We need to interrogate his twin and see what we can find out before Nikita vanishes forever... This was a painful oversight.
