Commerce Bank has a gigantic lobby and people constantly milling about. It's fairly cool looking from the white marble floors to the marble pillars. There's not much else here. People are trying to do business and don't have much in the way of time for you!
You can see Door to Commerce Bank, Bad Cop, Corrupt Cop and Commerce Bank Lobby Locker (closed) here.
<result xml:space="preserve">Once you open the locker a dead body falls out of it. Several people passing by scream, alerting the two police officers.
Corrupt Cop stomps over to you and says "Well, well, well! Lookit what we have here! We found a body that is stabbed to death. And, oh, what did i just find on you? A knife!"
Bad Cop marches and paces around the room, shaking his head, and shooting icy glares at you.
Corrupt Cop shouts "I think we've found our murderer!"
You're brought before the judge. The prosecutor, dressed in the finest clothing that sleaze offers, stands at his table. He sneers at you as you approach the bench and are sat at the defense table. You look at your lawyer.
Billy Davis, Public Defender stands next to you. His suit is as cheap as his cologne. His blonde hair is slicked back. He smiles at you.
Billy Davis says "Judge! This is all a misunderstanding. My client would never have put the body in that locker had it been known to them at the time it was a crime! That's why they're innocent. The defense rests!" As you and Billy Davis sit down, he gives you two thumbs up and smiles.
After many hours of courtroom deliberation and drama, complete with charts and graphs, the procsecutor rests his case, smugly. Then, the judge leaves the courtroom.
Sometime later, the judge emerges from her chambers and says "The evidence is clear. You are guilty of the crime of heinous murder and will be remanded to the custody of the state until another trial is set where a suitable punishment is found. Bailiff! Take him away!"
With that, the bailiff drags you out of the courtroom and puts you into prison where you await a sentencing trial.

Potato Room
This tall, vaulted ceiling room is chock full of potatoes. There is a way out to the northeast. There are brown stairs leading up that appear to be made of tightly packed potato skins.

Financial District
The Kansas City, Missouri Finance District is south of the River Market neighborhood, east of the Library, west of the East Village, and north of the Power and Light Districts. There are several tall, rectangular buildings made of steel and glass, burying their past. Commerce Bank stands to the northwest.
As you climb out of the sewer, two men walk past you. One says "You know what? We should visit Stull!". The other scowls and says "You know what? You should have good ideas instead!"

Commerce Bank
Commerce Bank has a gigantic lobby and people constantly milling about. It's fairly cool looking from the white marble floors to the marble pillars. There's not much else here. People are trying to do business and don't have much in the way of time for you!

Commerce Bank
Commerce Bank has a gigantic lobby and people constantly milling about. It's fairly cool looking from the white marble floors to the marble pillars. There's not much else here. People are trying to do business and don't have much in the way of time for you!
You can see Door to Commerce Bank, Bad Cop, Corrupt Cop and Commerce Bank Lobby Locker (closed) here.
<result xml:space="preserve">Once you open the locker a dead body falls out of it. Several people passing by scream, alerting the two police officers.
Corrupt Cop stomps over to you and says "Well, well, well! Lookit what we have here! We found a body that is stabbed to death. And, oh, what did i just find on you? A knife!"
Bad Cop marches and paces around the room, shaking his head, and shooting icy glares at you.
Corrupt Cop shouts "I think we've found our murderer!"
You're brought before the judge. The prosecutor, dressed in the finest clothing that sleaze offers, stands at his table. He sneers at you as you approach the bench and are sat at the defense table. You look at your lawyer.
Baron von Evil stands next to you. His suit is average and his cologne is tolerable.
Baron von Evil says "Judge, jury, the court. There is no evidence at all that my client murdered the person in question. In fact, the only witness is a corrupt police officer. I move that his case be summarily dismissed."
After many hours of courtroom deliberation and drama, complete with charts and graphs, the prosecutor rests his case, smugly. Then, the jury leaves the courtroom.
Sometime later, the jury emerges and returns to their box. The head juror hands the judge their decision.
The judge says "All rise! We will now read the verdict. The jury finds with one exception that the defendant is -- innocent!"
Much later, you're walking down the hallway and Baron von Evil stops you.
He says, ""You know they're not going to give up now that they've been foiled. Time is bought. Find the real killer. Don't be afraid to ask for help!"
River Market Neighborhood
The way leading to the River Market is lined with brick buildings. When finally reaching the center, which is a cluster of buildings that has an open air market in the middle. Surrounding the open air market are shops offering food, fresh fruits, and spices, as well as goods from other countries. The Missouri River is to the north. The finance district is to the south and the library district is to the southwest.
After recovering from the courtroom drama, you feel anger at who actually murdered the individual in the locker. To this end and inspired by the failings of the KCMO PD's corrupt cop and bad cop, you agree with Baron von Evil and decide to do your own investigation.
