	While Price was in jail, Konstanze heard of a social gathering at the Rossettis' home and soon met with Arnaud there. She asked Arnaud to meet her at [[Brown's Hotel]], but prepared to abduct her before the meeting as she already knew of her affiliations.

	Konstanze soon learned of a possible [[Eye\|artifact]] in [[Bath, Somerset\|Bath]] after Arnaud deciphered some of Ada's notes.

	After Price rejected Kane's offer to join him, Oscar and his men began to shoot at him. Price was joined by Arnaud and their various allies, who began to fight against Kane's henchmen above the bunker room. Within moments, nearly all the henchmen were killed as Kane himself was surrounded. After multiple tries, Kane was finally restrained by Pierrette, who dragged and pulled him with her over a walkway. As the chamber began to collapse, Kane was severely injured and was finished off by Price, who then joined his allies in escaping.<ref name="Chapter 27"/>		After Price rejected Kane's offer to join him, Oscar and his men began to shoot at him.
