Amber Household - Office

Optional Graffiti: 1

Upon entering Mr. Amber's office, go to the bookshelf at the back to find the Best Dad Award. Examine it, then put it back down. Before unlocking the door, check the left side of the desk for a bottle in a drawer. On the right side of the desk, use the key to open a locked drawer containing a box. Inside the box are letters from Sera to Rachel, a letter from a law office regarding Sera's defense, uncashed checks, and a cell phone. Examining the phone reveals a conversation between Mr. Amber and an unknown person, leading to dialogue choices.

Choices (Round 1):

  • You'll pay
  • Where is Sera?

Choices (Round 2):

  • I did
  • You first

Next, examine files around the office: one on the desk for Gerald Scott, one under the TV for Francis Bowers, and a box in a filing cabinet near the billboard containing evidence. Examine the evidence, including taking a picture of a glove. Retrieve the wastebasket near the desk. After dealing with the evidence, you'll need to identify the snitch.

Choices (Round 3):

  • No one
  • No more
  • No clue

Further investigate files: one behind the desk on Sheldon Pike and a file on the computer for Rodney Sears. Return to the billboard and choose the snitch.

  • Sheldon headshot
  • Vendor headshot
  • Thunder headshot

Accuse Thunder of being the snitch and tell him about the payment.

  • How much?
  • I have it

Return to the bookshelf near the Best Dad Award. Examine the white books and the sawdust near them. Find a hole in the back of the bookshelf to discover the money. Take a picture of the money, then a picture of Sera at the Old Mill.
