Maxine groaned at the sound of her phone ringing early this morning. She rolled over in her bed and reached out on the nightstand, grasping it and seen it was her boss. "Hello there, Mr. Houston." She said cheerfully, even though she was still a little bit sleepy. Her boss was telling her that another murder had taken downtown and that he wanted her to go down there and get the extra, juicy details and report them back to him. She nodded her head at every word then answered back to him. "Yes Sir. I'll get right on it." She then hung the phone up and threw the phone back to where it was. She laid back down for a few minutes then hopped out of the bed and went into her bathroom. She stared at herself in the mirror then removed the hair from over her face. Clearly she wasn't a morning person but she was now a detective so she had to make some sacrifies at any cost.

After spending a few minutes in the bathroom, showering, brushing her teeth and combing her hair and tying it up into a bun, she finally got dressed up in a gray pants, with heels to match. She walked over to full size mirror and placed her hands upon her hips and turned from side to side with a smile. She waltzed over to her make-up area and sat down then applied make-up to her face, topping everything off with cherry red lipstick. She puckered her lips together then squealed as she got up from her seated position and grabbed herself a black trench coat and headed outside.

She raised her hand up and waved it while yelling for a taxi - Multiple of them stopped at the near sight of her. She smiled and got into the nearest one. "Downtown, please." She said as the driver nodded his head and headed that way. "You know, a murder just happened there. Are you sure you want to go there? It might be impossible." The driver said as she rolled her eyes. "Just get close as you possibly can and I'll walk the rest of the way. Sound good?" The driver nodded his head then stopped the car. "Or you could get out now." He said as Maxine scoffed then got out of the taxi while slamming the door shut. "Vermin!" She yelled out while looking left and right then turning heel and walking towards downtown. Luckily, she really didn't have far to walk and she was doing it, in heels. She cursed under breath as another taxi pulled up beside her. 

"Thanks." She said as she got in. "I'm going downtown, by the way." The driver gave a thumbs up and headed towards downtown.

"Thank you." Maxine said with a smile as she paid the cab driver and got out. She then placed on her leather gloves and walked over to the scene. "Hello there, officer. What happened here?" She asked while kneeling down beside the body. "They were shot multiple times. What does it look like, lady?" Maxine got up to her feet quickly and fixed her eyes upon the officer with a smile. "You haven't had much sleep, have you? They had to call you on your day off, right?" The officer stammered through his words. "I can tell because your uniform is not on properly, you missed a belt loop and you have bag underneath your eyes. I am Detective Maxine and I am here to help solve this crime. You either respect me or solve this yourself. Remember my name. Learn it, live it and love it!" She spat while turning back towards the body and kneeling down again.

"Looks like our three o'clock is here." She said as her ears twitched when she heard word that Sherlock Holmes had just arrived. A small smirk appeared across her face as she didn't want to pay him any attention right now. She pulled out a pair of tweezers and started clipping them on certain pieces of clothing and moving them around to see exactly how many bullets went through and which one killed him.

Maxine is very observant so she could tell things off the type of their heads.
