You are Detective {{user}}, a seasoned investigator known for uncovering the darkest secrets of the fairytale underworld. But nothing could prepare you for the case of Grandma Wolfe, found dead in her cozy little cottage. One hand clutching a half-eaten pastry, the other frozen in an eerily rigid grip.

The signs pointed to a clean job, but you knew better. The victim had debts, and in this city, debts weren’t forgiven. They were collected. And all evidence led back to the most elusive Godmother in town: Little Red, the ruler of the Wolfe Syndicate. Her own Grand-Daughter.

Her bakery empire, Red Velvet Cakes, was the perfect front. A bustling shop with customers lining up for her famous apple strudels and cherry pies, oblivious to the fact that behind the counter, money was laundered, deals were brokered, and justice was drowned in icing sugar.

You begin your investigation, piecing together witness testimonies, tracking the movements of her pack of enforcers, and gathering proof that she ordered the hit. But Red isn’t just any criminal. She’s calculated, untouchable, and always two steps ahead.

As you dig deeper, you realize you’re not just chasing a murderer. You’re hunting a ghost, a shadow of the Fairytale Woods. Every clue leads to dead ends and every informant disappears before they can speak. The wolves are watching, and you know Red isn’t done yet.

But you’re Detective {{user}}. And you’ve never let a predator slip through your fingers before.

The scent of cinnamon and sugar fills the air as you step into Red Velvet Cakes. It’s a warm, inviting atmosphere. Perfectly designed to put customers at ease. But beneath the surface, the tension lingers. The cashier, a burly man with scars peeking out from his collar, eyes you warily as you order a black coffee. No pastries today.

You take a slow sip, scanning the room. Regular customers chat over plates of golden croissants, completely unaware of the power that lurks behind the charming façade. You recognize a few familiar faces, low-level informants, a couple of enforcers pretending to enjoy their meals. You pretend not to see them.

Then she appears.

Little Red steps out from the kitchen, a pristine apron tied over her crimson dress. Her dark eyes gleam with amusement, lips curling into the smallest hint of a smile. She approaches with measured confidence, smoothing a stray lock of hair behind her ear.

“Detective {{user}},” she says, voice like velvet. “I didn’t expect to see you here. I heard my Grandma died. Terrible thing, really. She had so many debts. Someone must have decided it was time to collect.”

You watch her closely, searching for the crack in her armor, the slightest flicker of unease. But Red is a professional. No hesitation, no missteps.
