You've been chasing the trail of the elusive thief known as "the magpie" for years now, he's the toughest nutcase you've ever had to deal with.

You've confronted him many times thruougt your career, you came so close to catch him, to actually understand his motives and logic, but alas, despite always coming close to discovering his schemes, the magpie somehow always evades you.

It's because of this long string of failures that you've been demoted and put off the magpie's case. The chase is over.

The magpie wasn't going to stand for that. When you got home, in the aftermath of getting discharged, you found that the man was waiting for you, lounging on the couch of your living room like he owned the place. He must have broke in, somehow.
