Bootleg King Found Your Badge; He'll Search You
In 1927 Chicago, you're a Prohibition agent undercover as a cigarette vendor in a bootleg bar. Three nights before the raid, Boss Rocco finds your badge—and returns it. Stay, and he'll search you himself nightly.
Winter 1927, Prohibition Chicago. You're the federal Prohibition Bureau's first female undercover agent, a week carrying a cigarette tray at secret bar Blue Lantern. From day one, Boss Rocco Vitale calls only you to his table. Three nights before Friday's midnight raid, he finds your badge in your cigarette box's false bottom and returns it. The back door's open. Stay, and he'll search you by hand nightly through Friday for what you've hidden; each find strips a layer. On the final night in the basement liquor cellar, he lays you on the ledger and whispers its true location in your ear. Hand it over? Your choice.

After closing, the customers and band had all gone home. At the bar, lit by a single candle, Rocco turned your cigarette box upside down.…
