Later in the game Alba webcams David, Ava accidentally answers and introduce herself. David has to explain who Alba is.

For the purpose of this mission, David moved to a new apartment, nº1396. Later he gets a boat called “ Little Mermaid”. David starts to make contact with a camgirl, unlike the other clients he just wants to talk. Cam girl calls him “Davey”. David was a delinquent teen.

Mission: “Prosperen is building a liquid gas pipeline (“Sovereign Pipeline”) across the heart of Michigan” “The pipeline would transport gas for export and sale outside of America”. Activists are trying to stop the construction of this pipeline using violent methods. David plans to arrest the members of this criminal activist organization, “Green Storm”. David uses Ava friend, Eric, to meet Riordan (Supposedly she is in Green Storm inner circle).

Goes to protest with the Organizing Group several times, Ava goes with him to the group meetings in Jasmine Center but not the protest. David gets beaten up at the protest. Peter gets beaten by David and raided by the police for having drugs on him. David manges to prove one of the group members, Chris, is in fact Simon McMillan a spy working for Prosperen. Later David meets Riordan on his boat – Little Mermaid. David convinced Riordan plus several other Green Storm members to blow up a bridge in order to slow the countrotions of this pipeline.

At this point David gets too emotional connected to this mission, the group, Ava and his new born baby. His boss starts to pressure David to have an exit plan but David is far gone.
FBI raids the group, organizing group is gone. Ava is raided. Eric spends 2 weeks in prison. David gets kicked off of the FBI operation and is forced to get away from his undercop life. David gets depressed and tries to get back to Ava and her baby to no avail. Him and Emma no longer together and have to split their time with Alba.

In the end David decides to fulfill the mission by blowing up the bridge from his boat. This kills him as well.

Water is life.

Refers to David as “Davey”;

Tells David she’s french, her favourite film is Lady Eve and that her real life name is Michelle. Lied about her past when David first asked about it, said that she was a ballet teacher, that she worked for the Paris Opera Ballet, started in Nutcracker and was Lilac Fairy in Sleeping Beauty. David sees through her lies and Michelle confesses that this was just her mom’s story. Wanted to be an astronaut when growing up.

Tells David she fell in love with a criminal, his name was “Max”. Lost her virginity to a cop on a summer day in Paris, this was in order to blackmail a cop to help Max. Father, a powerful judge, send her to America after finding she slept with Max, there she met her future husband, a banker that treat her badly. Husband was later jailed for insider trading. She has minimal education. Has tattoo on left boob, it says “Max” (ex-boyfriend’s name).

Tells David, she used to sell real estate in New York. Used to wear sexy clothes seduce men to buy the house. Brunette friend introduced her to camming. Does Yoga and wants to run a marathon

Prince Charming Eighty, Red Lord Fifty Five, Sandman Extra, Knight Eighty, Cardinal Eighty Nine and Hungry Peter are seen visiting her show;

Later confesses to David that she used to work in real estate, own two apartments. Husband is a loading dock supervisor and knows what she does and is okay with it. None of the names she gave to him were real. Lives in Cleavelent, Ohaio. Has all of David’s sessions saved on video.

David ask Harry to find this girl. David pays Maxine Williams a visit and gets shot in the leg. Now there is no husband and the “Max” calls the police on Davey. Later you see Mike tell David how hard was to clean that “mess”.

Cam girl is not relevant to the Green Storm/Pipeline storyline. However, it tells us about David’s worries and personal background, David confines in “Max” his most personal details. In the end we don’t really know if or any details given by her were correct (except for the ones in the ending), almost like it’s a game about telling lies (Ahhhaaa!!!) and a metaphor for what David is doing to Emma, Ava and his group of friends.
