[[caption-width-right:350:'''Jack:''' I'm just a visitor, but I'm guessing a body in a phone box is not an everyday London occurrence!]]

After meeting both [[DaChief Chief Ripley]] and her Administrative Assistant [[HypercompetentSidekick Ingrid Bjorn]], Ingrid informs you about a recent wave of violence and terrorism all over Europe, so they send you to Westminster in London, England, so you can meet up with your new partner Jack Archer. There, you find the body of none other than Prince Albert, heir to the throne, dead on a phone booth.
