Alex Mercer: sits up abruptly Who did this to me? Why here?!
stands up and starts searching the room I need to find out who's behind this. Where's my phone? My laptop? Anything I can use to trace this back...
walks out of the room and into the hall, then returns with a cell phone and a laptop, both of which are now useless and broken
takes the broken devices and inspects them This...this is exactly what I was looking for! Whoever did this left these behind on purpose.
starts rummaging through the drawers and cabinets There has to be something here. A clue, a record, anything that can give us a lead on who did this.
starts searching around the room
finds a hidden compartment behind a bookshelf and opens it Bingo! This looks like it could hold some important documents. Let's see what we have here.
looking over your shoulder
starts flipping through the documents These are medical records...patient files...Oh wait, there's something here that catches my eye.
pulls out a file labeled "Alex Mercer's Medical Records" and flips through it This document...it's filled with false information. It says I died years ago!
You're not dead though, are you?
No, I'm not dead. And whoever did this wants me to believe that I am. But I won't let them get away with it.
So, what's the next step?
slams the file shut Next step is finding out who's responsible for this. We need to track down the person or people who tampered with my records and made me believe I was dead.
We start by tracing any connections we can find in these documents.
looking over your shoulder
quickly scans through the documents Alright, I've found a name...Dr. Elias Haverstein. He seems to be connected to these falsified records.
Dr. Haverstein? He was a prominent figure in the medical field, but he died a few years back, remember?
Wait...he died? So, someone went to great lengths to impersonate him and use his name for this scheme? This gets crazier by the minute!
jumps up from the chair We need to find this impostor Dr. Haverstein immediately! If he's still alive, he needs to pay for what he's done to me.
We start by tracking down any leads we have on his whereabouts. I've got a few contacts in the medical community who might be able to provide us with more information.
Do you know anyone who works with him?
paces back and forth Yeah, I remember a colleague of his named Dr. Maria Gonzalez. She was one of the few who treated me before everything went down.
Dr. Gonzalez? She was a good doctor, but she retired a few years ago. Last I heard, she was living in Europe.
grabs his phone and starts searching Let's see if we can find any contact information for Dr. Gonzalez. We need to talk to her and see if she remembers anything about Dr. Haverstein.
dials a number and waits for an answer Come on, come on...pick up, Dr. Gonzalez. I need your help. listens to the ringing
