Fairfax Residence

Lawrence Fairfax is the number one suspect in a series of grisly homicides. It's believed a student named Melinda Kline, who went missing six days ago, may be held at his house. The suspect's mother, Gladys Fairfax, is also believed to be in the home and should be considered an unpredictable subject.

Objectives: Bring order to chaos. Rescue all of the civilians. Rescue Melinda Kline. Neutralize Lawrence Fairfax.

Lawrence Fairfax is found somewhere in the basement area.

Loadout: Equip the pepperball gun or less-lethal shotgun with a secondary 9mm handgun or taser. Use hollow point bullets as there are no armored targets. You'll likely keep the squad together but equip at least a couple optiwands and a few door wedges. You'll also want team members with pepper spray to subdue the unpredictable mother (or use the taser). Use a mix of flashbangs and CS gas grenades.

There are two entries into the Fairfax residence. There's backyard access into the rear door of the first floor then there's a driveway entrance into the garage that leads directly into the basement area. Use the garage entrance as suspects are found on the basement level; also, this is where you'll locate the hostage or hostages.

Order the team to mirror under the door into the garage. Pick the lock if necessary and enter the garage. Door wedge the exit door. Use the optiwand to see beneath the next door on the right side. Look carefully for occupants as there could be a second suspect inside the room. Open, gas (or bang), and clear the room. Subdue the suspect, recover weapon, and report in.

Proceed left down the hall. The door on the right leads to the stairs; you can wedge the door to prevent anyone from entering the basement while you continue the search. The second door leads into the bedroom and a third into a small storage room. Search the storage room and then use the optiwand under the bedroom door.

Lawrence Fairfax could be inside the bedroom but you may not notice him even with the optiwand. He could be behind some cover. Open the door quietly and try and spot any movement behind the cover on the room's left side. Deply a flashbang into the room and shout orders to force Lawrence to stand down. Recover his weapon, restrain him, and report in.

Gladys Fairfax is the very definition of an uncooperative civilian.

Locate the door in the back right corner of the bedroom. Check under the door then enter and find Lawrence's "chamber". If the suspect is inside, deploy CS or flashbang and order Lawrence to stand down. Report the possible hostage inside the room. Find another door on the room's back wall. Check under the door then proceed through the tunnel to another chamber to find Melinda Kline. If the suspect is inside, pelt him with pepper or beanbags and shout for him to stand down. Report in.

The entire basement should be secure at this point. Return to the stairwell door. Check the stairs for occupants then proceed to the residence's first floor. There are three doors down the left hall that lead into a bathroom and two bedrooms. Check each for occupants and clear.

The room across from the stairs leads into the kitchen; off to the right you'll find the dining and living room area. Gladys Fairfax, the suspect's mother, is likely on the first floor somewhere. She could be near the dining area or in one of the bedrooms. She's not cooperative and will likely require pepper spray to subdue. Order the team to pepper Gladys then restrain her and report in.
