=== Ron and Archie Plot ===
With the Yakuza out of the picture, the Big Four resumed their operations. Around this time, two new law enforcement officers began gaining attention in Sandy Shores: Sergeant [[Ron Milliken]], a former colleague of Jim’s, and Deputy [[Archie Calloway]]. Their careers took off after the high-profile capture and subsequent death of the serial killer known as the Slasher, which earned them rapid promotions. Later, while investigating Pixel Pete’s, formerly operated by Damian, the two officers discovered a case file implicating the major syndicates. Suspecting internal corruption within the Sheriff's Department, they decided to pursue the investigation independently. Their probing raised alarms among the syndicates.

When the syndicates became aware of the investigation, they quickly agreed that both officers needed to be eliminated. Alexa found the proposal entirely reasonable, Ron and Archie had uncovered too much, and their continued presence posed a direct threat to all operations. After a voting by the syndicates, it was Jim that was to charge of the execution plan, despite his dismay. A staged gang shootout was organized near the [[Yellowjack Bar]], designed to lure the officers into a trap. When Ron exited the vehicle to investigate the scene, Jim remotely detonated a car bomb, killing Archie instantly. Jim then revealed himself and executed Ron with a shot to the head, eliminating the threat decisively. The incident effectively neutralized the threat posed by the two officers. Alexa, while not directly involved in the operation, approved of the outcome. She believed the syndicates could not afford internal exposure, especially not after enduring several months of instability. The matter was closed swiftly and without further consequences.
