Hey @Mr bugger, I'm so sorry to hear you encountered an issue! The team is aware of this one and they are looking into it for you. Does this happen every time you attempt the mission? If you can, could you share the steps you took in the lead up to this issue occurring, please? Any extra information would be a great help to our programmers. Thanks!

The steps are very simple you just have to play through Mabel Riley’s storyline until you reach the “Back in the Fold“ mission. After Freeing Alfred from the Rogue Alley Cats the mission says to return to your safe house nothing happens when you return you can interact with stuff like the desk which it indicates you to interact but i doesn’t advance the story also Shirley has just disappeared

Piece of advise try Goldie’s campaign and story runs in full no bugs that I found also it’s a really fun campaign with a great storyline

Platform: PC (Windows 10) (steam)
Didnt keep save and started over, and have played through ok.

From recollections two things that might have been issue.

1) rescue alfred and didnt immediately head back (had other mission nearby which did first)
2) From other play throughs, might have been had second safe house by this point, and while I went back to 'my' safe house, have had other playthrough, were things were sent to a LTs safehouse that I needed to go to, not 'my' safehouse (original)... not sure during the bugged alley cat playthrough I check the other safe house.
