17: Suicide Baby

17: Suicide Baby

Character: Scott Shelby

We are back to being Scott Shelby, retired cop and Private Dick, and we are pulling up to a shack in a rather run-down neighborhood.   At the door we ring the bell and knock - and peak in the window to see a baby screaming inside.  The door is locked though, so you may as well do a walk-around - and what do you know, the back door is not locked!

You call out and look around - and then find what appears to be a suicide note!  A quick search of the bedroom turns up nothing, but the bathroom door is locked!  After you break it down you find Mrs. Bowles near death in the bathtub - you pull her out and put her on the bed.   She does not want you to call an ambulance so you have to grab the first aid supplies from the bathroom and dress her wound.

Now we have to go take care of baby Emily - and when I say take care of I do not mean kill...  There is a trophy connected to this - but it is one of the hardest to get in the game.  You basically have to properly complete the following steps without a single error:

1- Wash your hands - they have blood on them.
2- Change the nappy without making a mistake.
3- Prepare the baby's bottle in the kitchen.
4- Feed the baby, burp it.
5- Rock the baby gently.
6- Return it to the crib slowly.

I should warn you that this may actually be slightly bugged - at the start of changing the nappy the very first sequence you do after laying Emily on the table often fails even when you carefully push the stick in the right direction.  If that happens - and you will know because the prompt will flash red and you will need to start over - you have failed as far as the trophy is concerned. 

Since this is a really frustrating trophy to unlock you should seriously consider waiting until you have completed the game and then coming back for it.  The reason that I say that is that it is really a matter of luck getting through these sequences without the game deciding you made an error and due to the

If you do all of this without making any mistakes, you will get the trophy "Baby Master" (bronze) when the chapter transitions.

So go to the kitchen and wash the blood off of yourself, then go change the baby - no worries though, you are a private detective, you can do anything!   Right so she is now clean, that means you need to feed her, so head into the kitchen and grab the bottle - warm it up and take it to the kid.   Thankfully she eats pretty fast - which is a good thing because my pizza is getting cold.

After you are done feeding her, you need to burp her, and then you rock her to sleep - man you really can do anything!  Head back into the bedroom to get Mrs. Bowles story.  You learn that her husband abandoned her the day after her son was killed.   As you question her you learn that she found a cell phone in her husband's drawer after he disappeared. 

You are pretty much done there - so head into the living room and grab the cell phone from the drawer in the white cabinet.  You can stop and say goodbye to Emily if you like - I did :)  Once you hit the back door you get a CS of you getting into your car and driving off.  Man I would hate to have to pay for the gas on that thing.
