A Lost Fight

A Lost Fight is the second mission in The Detective. It follows James Keith and Fredrick Jones after the sudden death of a famous boxer in LA.

First Step
Keith and Jones find out that the Los Angeles Boxing Stadium as been the scene of a murder. They find out the name is Roy Hammond and cause of death was by strangulation and issue of morphine. The DNA of the rope is run by technical services and the rope is property of Mike Grayson, his supposed manager. Keith also finds a bookies ticket belonging to Hammond to pocket money off his fight. The two break into Grayson's apartment and chase him across rooftops until they apprehend him. Grayson reveals that the bookie ticket came from Gary Black, the owner of an illegal racketeering operation.

Second Step
The two travel to the bookies warehouse and interrogate Black. Keith finds a pile of issued lottery and betting tickets along with money. He also finds supplies of morphine belonging to Black. The owner is arrested by the LAPD and brought to Central. More evidence in the warehouse suggests that Black bought the morphine off his boss, Richard Falcone. The detectives then find out that Falcone used to work in The Black Caesar bar and grill downtown.

Third Step
Keith and Jones travel to The Black Caesar and question the bartender, Thomas Fernandez, about Falcone and his morphine operation. Fernandez reveals that Falcone has a drug warehouse by the LA Chinese Theatre and a house by the famous LA movie set. The two head first to the warehouse and discover a customer book listing every person sold morphine. This includes Gary Black and Mike Grayson, supposed to be used to kill Hammond. They also find different boxes and letters belonging to The Black Caesar bar with money being owed and the bar being sued by Falcone. The LAPD also break into Falcone's house and arrest him. Then, two interrogations take place at Central: Gary Black and Richard Falcone. Falcone says he sold the morphine to Black but didn't know it caused the death of Hammond. Falcone is arrested for the murder of Hammond and supply of morphine.
