No Honor Among Thieves

No Honor Among Thieves is a case featured in Criminal Case, appearing as the one-hundred eleventh case of the game and the fifty-fifth case of Pacific Bay. It is the fifth case to take place in Paradise City, a district based in Pacific Bay.

Plot
Previously on Criminal Case, Chief Marquez ordered the player and Frank Knight to subdue the heist crew at the Mennagio Casino's vault while Amy Young would guard the airport located at the Wastes of Pacific Bay to prevent the heist crew from seeking escape.

The team were too late as the heist crew succeeded in looting the casino based on the damage done to the vault. More so, Louis De Rico, the ex-con and the leader of the heist crew, was found dead at the Mennagio Casino's vault, holding a compromised gas mask cold to the touch. The player shipped the body to Roxie Sparks, only to find out from the coroner that the killer compromised the gas mask with ammonia and other poisonous gases, making the murder premeditated and registering the compromised gas mask as the murder weapon.

Eugenia Hestentrope came to survey the damage done to the casino knowing that Louis would loot the vault, her suspicions of the ex-con doing so were right. In doing so, she became a suspect in a murder investigation for the second time. Amy frantically told Papa Quansah to drop his weapon after Frank exposed the clown as the foreign warlord. Quansah, Danny Moto, Jezebel Lopez, and Freddy Gomez were arrested for their involvement of the heist, grounds for a mass arrest spree by the Pacific Bay Police Department. The heist crew and Eugenia were interrogated grievously until Danny was found to be the one responsible for grand manslaughter.

Louis recruited Danny as a lockpicker for the heist crew but when Danny realized that all Louis can commit to were empty promises, Danny had to something to grab the money and make Louis pay for his unwillingness to give Danny a heft sum of the cut. Danny believed he deserved generous credit for his lockpicking skills, although he took account of Jezebel's sex appeal and Freddy's wax statue-making expertise but Danny felt that Louis had a secondary motive for the heist, so he told Papa Quansah to blow the vault up for what Louis was seeking for. Pre-mortem Danny rigged Louis's gas mask so that he would not leave the Mennagio alive. Once Louis was dead, Danny stuck around for a bit until he confirmed Louis was dead, and then ran with as much money he needed and fled the scene of the crime. Frank felt that Danny was taking things to the edge, so he allowed the player to ship the underaged college student to face trial.

Facing Judge Dante, Danny told the honorable judge that there's no honor among thieves, but the Judge cut the conversation short by issuing a 50-year jail sentence for Danny's involvement in the heist of the Mennagio Casino and the premeditated poisoning of Louis De Rico.

The other heist crew members were sentenced off-screen, but Chief Marquez felt that an audit of the heist crew, Danny included, was necessary. Eugenia's troubles continued to escalate as Amy found out that Louis was taking orders by a mysterious heist mastermind who knew that plutonium was stored in the vault of the Mennagio, suggesting that greater troubles in Pacific Bay await. Danny was interrogated on the sixth member of the heist (who's supposed to be the crew's mastermind behind-the-scenes), in which he vaguely told the team that that member was "someone you know very well", suggesting that the team would face an atomic threat for the days to come.
