• The detective office had been quiet for a few days. I liked it. I could spend some time with my family, eat a real meal, watch movies, and most importantly, study old keys.
    My name is Maxine, but call me Mimi. Everyone does, ever since May came into our lives. May is kinda like my daughter. We found her in a cold alley. Well, she couldn't call me Maxine or Mommy for some reason, so somehow she chose to call me Mimi. Oh, wait. We got a really cool case recently, and I got it all to myself!! Well, let me tell you what happened. The fire happened about a week ago...

    "Mimi! We gots a new case!!" May ran over to me. "They wants only you to do it. Whee!!"
    "Oh, joy," I said. I was better at finding info than actually solving a case on my own. I grabbed my camera, notebook, and the address of the house on fire. Great. I had to find a giant burning building and confront someone that just gt rescued. Why do I have this job again? Oh yeah, it's all we have. I walked to the scene of the crime. Turns out the house wasn't actually on fire, but there was a fire on the stove and someone got seriously hurt.I walked up to the police officer and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and snapped "Kid, this is a private case. Go away." I glared at him. "Sir if you value your current job, I suggest you let me by. I am Maxine from the Agency of Urgency. Let me by this instant!" He did a double take. "oh, sorry Miss Maxine, right this way please." He led me to the victim, who was covered in ash.
    I walked over to the boy, who was 16, as said in the reports I held in my bag.
    "Excuse me, Jack? I'm Maxine from the Agency. I'd like to ask you a few questions."
