what if your mom isn't dead and has gone undercover for something relating to rico
what if she's in this very precinct

Continue asking about the meaning of the picture. Remark that your uncle disappeared with his gun to kill himself or to find, rape, then kill you.

You continue asking about "Rico". The clerk decides to do a search for you. There are famous people named Rico (Rico Rodriguez, Rico Love, Rico Blanco, Rico Ramos, etc). There are towns named Rico in California, Georgia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Colorado. There is also, of course, Puerto Rico. There is also a federal law known as the RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations) act. It "provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization" [Wikipedia]. He also finds another definition on urban dictionary but refrains from telling you what he found. He isn't sure what to suggest for you beyond those options.

Help out more. Get them to have a positive bias over you.

You continue helping until the employees have a sincere and passionate love for you.

what if she's in this very precinct

1. She apparently knew what "Rico" was especially since it was written on a photograph of herself and found in her bedroom.
2. You saw your mom in her casket at the visitation and attended the burial so I think it's reasonable to assume that she died.

Maybe Rico is a land plot. What if the safe contains a land deed that you have now inherited. Try shaking the safe to hear what's inside.

oh wait

try to see if the officers at the precinct can help you opening the safe

hold your stuff for a religious figure, do not release it now

Your crap is not ready yet so you don't even feel like going to the restroom yet.

Maybe Rico is a land plot. What if the safe contains a land deed that you have now inherited. Try shaking the safe to hear what's inside.

Not a bad idea, but we don't know where it is. There could be clues. You shake the safe and hear something small and hard inside, perhaps made of some kind of metal. There is also some soft papery sounds.

oh wait

try to see if the officers at the precinct can help you opening the safe

You try to convince the officers to open it but they don't have anything on hand in the building except lock picks. They do try one and even try listening to the sounds made by turning the numbers on the combination, but to no avail. The clerk, feeling sorry for you, goes down the hallway into one of the unknown rooms (turned out to be a break room) and carries out a small TV for you to watch.

In other frightening news, your uncle was spotted on security footage of a gas station in Rhode Island the day after he went missing. He was driving a small U-Haul truck with a crooked left headlight. Only the front was visible and there was not a front license plate, making the truck nearly untrackable. Being in Rhode Island, the police feel that he's traveling south and could be anywhere along the East Coast by now.

You also plug in your phones to charge.
