'''Briefing'''

Rider can't just get away with this. He ''killed'' my dad and all they want to do is charge him with bribery? If he gets convicted, he'll probably only serve a couple of years in a cushy open-door prison. Guys like him never serve their full terms anyway. He'll be out on good behavior, spending his bloody money and living the high life!

That's not even the worst of it. If he gets off... You know how it works with these millionaires: They can hire the best lawyers, get people to look the other way...

{{darkorange|Shauna takes a moment to compose herself, but there's a tremble in her voice.}}

{{Character}}, I know you're a righteous person. The law won't help my dad. You're my last chance. Go after Rider.

Do what's right. Do what needs to be done.

*{{green|I'll make sure he pays.}}

Rider lives in the penthouse on the building above the Exchange Bank. He's caused so much pain and suffering already. If he gets away with this, he's just going to keep doing it. Who knows how many other people are going to suffer to satisfy his greed?

'''Unnecessary Solicitation'''

Every second that passes is another that Andrew Rider makes a mockery of justice.

{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Andrew Rider|Text=

{{darkorange|Andrew Rider cowers before you, his eyes darting past you to the unmoving forms of his Family bodyguards. He seems to be wondering whether they are unconscious or dead... and if he'll get the chance to find out.}}

Look, {{Character}}, I don't know why you're here. But we're both reasonable people! We can talk this through! I am a powerful man, I can get you -

*{{green|Shut up!}}

:{{darkorange|Rider shrinks back from you, covering his face with his arms, expecting you to hit him. When you don't, he peeks out.}}

:Just... tell me what you want.

:*{{green|I want justice, Rider. Justice for the residents of Blackwood Tower.}}

::{{darkorange|His eyes go wide for a moment, then he starts to laugh.}}

::You're talking about the fire that burned down Blackwood Tower? I get it, you've been talking with that Braun girl. Look, she's a kook, a loon. Her dad burned the place down by being careless and she just can't let it go. You know how it is, kids never believe their parents can do any wrong.

::*{{green|I have all the proof I need.}}

:::{{darkorange|As you detail the evidence you've collected against him, Rider's expression changes from one of defiance to one of fear. He clenches his teeth and shrinks back from you as you near the end.}}

:::So what? You've got all this evidence against me, so why aren't you going to the cops?

:::{{darkorange|He suddenly smiles.}}

:::That's it, isn't it? You already did and they didn't believe you! You've got nothing on me, isn't that right. You're just here to bluff and bluster, trying to get me to give myself up, right?

:::*{{green|You're wrong, Rider. I'm here to kill you.}}

::::{{darkorange|The man shrieks and collapses to the ground.}}

::::No! Please, don't hurt me! Look, look, I promise, I'll turn myself in! You're a hero, right? A good guy! You don't want to kill me, do you? If you don't hurt me, I'll admit to the bribing the councilman. Hell, I'll even tell them everything I know about some other corrupt politicians too. That's got to be worth more to you than my life, doesn't it?

::::{{darkorange|He looks at you, a mix of hope and fear plastered across his face.}}

::::*{{green|The lives lost in the fire were worth far more. (Kill Rider)}}

::::*{{green|You're not worth dirtying my hands. But you won't get mercy again. (Spare Rider)}}

:::*{{green|You're wrong. The police are coming. I'm here to make sure you don't get away.}}

::::They are? Then that means...

::::{{darkorange|He shakes his head.}}

::::No. There's no way they have all the evidence they need to pin the fire on me. Not possible. You're trying to trick me.

::::{{darkorange|He swallows hard and looks you up and down.}}

::::But I've got a feeling that doesn't matter to you. You didn't come to arrest me, did you? You want to take me out, permanently. But you can't do it, can you? You're a hero, right? You want to do the right thing and you know that killing me isn't the right thing.

::::{{darkorange|He swallows hard again.}}

::::Look, don't hurt me. Take me to the police if that's what you need to do. I'll admit to the bribery charges. I'll tell them everything there, even help them take down a few other corrupt politicians. That's the best you'll get out of me, ok? That way you can keep your hands clean. Do we have a deal?

::::{{darkorange|He looks at you, a mix of hope and fear plastered across his face.}}

::::*{{green|I don't make deals with scum like you. (Kill Rider)}}

::::*{{green|You're not worth dirtying my hands. But you won't get mercy again. (Spare Rider)}}

::*{{green|You're wasting my time. I should just put you down now.}}

:::{{DialogueLoop}}

:*{{green|I want you to pay for everything you've done.}}

*{{green|I don't want to hear it. You can't buy me off like you bought off the others.}}

:{{DialogueLoop}}

*{{green|You're a monster, Rider.}}

:I don't know what you mean! I'm just a real estate developer! I never hurt anyone, I swear. I just want to make money and improve the city, make it more beautiful, attract more business to the area!

:*{{green|I know you're behind the Blackwood Tower fire.}}

'''Detective Davids:''' Someone jumped off the building!

'''Detective Davids:''' Sound the alarm! Call a hero!

'''Detective Davids:''' We have to save that guy!

'''Badge'''

Completing this mission by killing Rider awards the Avenger badge.

{{BadgeBox|Avenger}}

'''Debriefing'''

It's... done. Rider has been brought to justice... of a kind. I don't know how I feel. I'm still angry, I still miss my father. But at least he won't be blamed for those deaths once the news gets out. And Rider can't hurt anyone else, ever again. There are so many bad people out there. They have to be taken down, one way or the other.

My dad would be proud that I avenged him, right? He'd want his name to be cleared, one way or another, wouldn't he? Thank you, {{Character}}. I'm glad you helped me set things right. But now I just need to be alone. I can finally grieve.

'''Detective Davids:''' We have established a perimeter.

'''Detective Davids:''' Ready to bring Rider in for questioning.

'''PPD Officer:''' Uh... sir?

'''Detective Davids:''' Yes?

'''PPD Officer:''' {{Character}} is here.

'''Andrew Rider:''' Detective Davids.

'''Andrew Rider:''' I would like to turn myself in for attempting to bribe a city councilman.

[[File:CutsceneShaunaBraunHero1.jpg|300px|right|thumb|{{center|Bringing in Rider}}]]

'''Detective Davids:''' Just bribery? Nothing else?

'''Andrew Rider:''' That's all I'm guilty of, Detective. Honest.

'''Detective Davids:''' Gotta admit, {{Character}}.

'''Detective Davids:''' For a moment, I didn't expect you to trust the law.

'''Detective Davids:''' I'm glad to be proven wrong.

'''Detective Davids:''' You did the right thing.}}

'''Badge'''

Completing this mission by sparing Rider awards the Beyond Reasonable Doubt badge.

{{BadgeBox|Beyond Reasonable Doubt}}

'''Debriefing'''

You... you let him go? It doesn't matter if he confesses to bribery, he'll be out of prison in a few years at the most! Then what will happen? What building will he burn down next to get what he wants? Will he come after me since I know his secrets? You're a hero, you can protect yourself. Me, I'll probably have to go into hiding to keep myself safe.

I thought you would do what needed to be done. Get out of here, I'm done with you.
