((this is a thread that can be about anything....at any location, instead of having a specific place and having to skip around threads. Except for the USS Sleuthtania...that can be kept as its own when on ship))
((I copied and pasted Acemasters last update in the USS thread to here..since Mak is no longer on the ship))

As a cab pulled up, at Ace's beckoning, he guided Makensie inside , then followed behind her.
Getting adjusted in their seats, he gave the driver directions on where to go, then there was silence.
Makensie was looking out the window, as Ace looks at her, smiling, and says, "Still mad?" She gives him a look, then grins, "I'm not mad...I never WAS mad...just exasperated"
Silence again.
Then, she gasps, right out of the blue, and says, "idiot!!!"
Startled, he looks at her, and says, "Excuse me?"
"If we had friggin brains we would be dangerous. I dont think we make a good team, Mr Ace", she said.
She was so serious sounding, that he couldn't help but to laugh. In fact, he got into such a laughing spell, he couldn't stop.
"I dont see anything funny about this", she said, crossing her arms in front of her, looking straight ahead.
Ace lightly taps her leg, and says, "Why dont we make a good team?" He held a chuckle in the best that he could.
"Because......we didnt even visit the crime scene!!!! That should ALWAYS be checked first!! Dont even talk to me, Ace, I swear. You make it tough for me to concentrate", she said.
Smiling, he said, "Now, why IS that?"
She growled at him, and said to the driver, "Driver, turn around please." She gave him the directions of where the body was found. Looking at Ace, as if to just dare him to say anything, she looked back out toward the window.
Ace was finding Makensie Brewer very intriguing. In fact, he could see why Clift Garrett grew fond of her. Too bad that he lost his chance, he thinks.
She was lost in her thoughts, as she thinks, This Ace...I'm quite intrigued by this man. Very fascinating. She grumbles, and shakes her head.
Ace says, "What did you say, Mak?" Looking at him she says, very tightly, "Nothing"
He started whistling to the tune of "Strangers in the Night", as she shakes her head and sighs. How did I get caught up in this, she thinks,to herself this time

"Oh boy!" Mak exclaims as she and Ace enter the Moore kitchen.
"What a body!" Ace muses.
The body of Ulysses Moore was badly beaten. It looked like someone just couldn't stop hitting him.
There were blood trails leading from the living room, indicating that the fight began at the fireplace. That, and the fact that a bloody fire poker lay at the doorway to the kitchen.
There, it appears, the killer dropped the poker and picked up a long, sleek kitchen knife off the counter, then began stabbing the victim, consistent with the spurting blood around the floor and counters.
Finally, as we approach the body, we find the table upended, along with several chairs. The body appears to fell on it, smashing it to the ground.
The killer then picked up a frying pan, that appeared to have once cooked eggs. The killer smashed Ulysses in the head repeatedly then, and hit him so hard that it bent the pan to conform around his head.
It was quite a sight. Even with Anna Moore's amazing criminal past, it was obvious why she was so distraught. Unless she did it, of course.
Leading out the door of the kitchen was a long line of bloody shoeprints. The killer apparently realized that they were tracking blood, then wiped their shoes on the grass just after hopping the fence into the neighbors yard.
Mak and Ace still had a good consistent set of deep prints, though, showing that the prints were made by somewhat of a heavy person, also probably short.
Ace and Mak turned to go back to the kitchen when something caught Ace's eye.
"What in the..."
"What? What's up?" Mak asked curiously.
Ace proceeded to a set of bushes under the kitchen window. Pulling out an evidence bag, he carefully picked something up and put it inside.
"Ace, what is it???"
Without saying a word, Ace held the bag high and showed it to Makensie. SHe gasped when she saw them: a bloody pair of Latex gloves*.
That meant that this was definitely premeditated.
*Latex gloves were invented in 1936

When they came to the Crime Scene, Makensie somehow felt that Ace got a little reserved and silent. Perhaps he looked a little pale? She could not tell.
Are there something wrong she asked?
"Eh... no, nothing" he answered, trying to feel as natural as possible.
He definately would not like to tell her why he had not made them search the crime scene first place. There was a reason for this, and the reason where connected to the spot where the crime scene was. Ace would have wanted to wait until another time of the day before visiting the crime scene... There were someone he did not want to meet. Especially not when he was together with a charming woman as Makensie Brewer...
Unfortunately he was in no position where he was able to choose. And now they were there. Ace tried to concentrate on the crime scene, and reported to Mak when he found a black thread. Looking at the thread, and directed to Mak, he said; I think this has to be a thread from a womans garment. You see it's a bit shiny... What do you think? Mak also looked at the thread and said that it could be that way.
Mak stepped back one step and looked at Ace; "I do think you seem a little pale, and, you are shivering... Is something wrong?" Ace was silent, and was wondering what he was to say, when he suddenly heard a voice from behind his back that made him want to sink into the ground.
Ace had tried to turn the back to the door all the time, and did not want to look in the direction where the sign read "Salvation Army London"...
"Timothy?" the voice said. "Timothy? are you here?" the voice repeated as it aproached Ace and Mak. Makensie looked at Ace and said: "The man is heading over here, and seem to be talking to you? Are you Timothy?"
"Timothy! What are you doing here son?" The voice and the source of the voice was clear and close now, so Ace realized that he had to turn and look at the man. Ace tried to sound calm, as he answered "I am solving a murder case together with a friend..."

"Timothy Maze! How often have not both my mother and I told you that we wanted you to go to school and get yourself some good education and get a decent job! You still have not finished your studies for becoming a doctor. Should not you be home reading and doing school work?"
"Dad!" Ace replied with a sigh, "I am 25 years old, and are in control of my own life!"
"Timothy! you are a brilliant lad, both I and your mother know so, and it would be such a waste to use your life on murders and other evil. We always wanted to protect you from all this bad stuff. It's not good for you! As you know from my work, I have seen many destroyed lives, and I don't want you to end up like one that I will have to pick up from the streets. You know the gospel, when God created the universe, He did so with..."
"... plans of everything being good. He created man, and wanted them to be happy and closely related to Him..." Ace continued. "Yes, I do know that story, I think you have told it to me some thousand times. Dad, I do know how to take care of myself!"
"... but, your mother and I..." Huglover's Assistant started a little more unsure now...
Ace replied "Dad, we both know that you were not first in line when smartness was handed out, but you do have a heart of gold, and I know that you mean good, but surely, You do not have any reason to worry about me!"
"But..."
"No, but, I am safe. Don't worry about me. I know how to take care of myself, and I am grown up now and in charge of my own life."
"But..."
"No, Dad, don't worry about me. Go continue with your work. Remember you need to do your part for saving people from the bad. I do my part, where I am put. It's best that way. You stick to your task and mom, and I stick to what I am fitted for. Don't mom always say that she like that you are not that smart, because then you won't leave her, and she is so smart she stick to you? Go now, and let me continue with my work"

When Huglover's Assistant had walked away, Makensie looked at Ace and said with awe. "Was that your dad?"
Ace sighed and said "Yes. He never seem to learn that I am no longer a kid"

((That's great! Several things. One: HA posted right around the time I did, so we got a little mixed up. Two: My name is actually Tony Masters, so please substitute it in where it says Timothy. Sorry, HA, I actually mentioned my name back in the S.S. Sleuthitania thread, so you didn't see it.
Finally, disregard the black thread. We'll use HA's redition as what happened just before and just after the search of the crime scene, and my post as being in between, where the thread was found.
Sorry for the confusion!
I will wait for Mak to post now... ;-) ))

Makensie smiles gently, and says, "Actually, although not a Mother, I'm sure all parents see their kids, as children, no matter how old they get"
"yes, but, it gets so aggravating", he says.
"YOU are only 25?", Makensie says, out of the blue. He looks at her and says, "Yes"
"DEAR God", she said, walking quickly off.
"Wait.....why?", he asks, jogging up beside her to catch up.
"Nevermind.....now, bloody footprints......shoemaker check.......a piece of thread.....the tailor.....do u want to split up, or do u want to visit them together?"
He smiles, and says, "Together"
"Figures", she said, as she picked up her pace.
He rubs his jaw, and hurries up beside her, saying, "You've suddenly gained alot of energy, and became sooo serious"
She looks at him, not slowing her pace, saying, "I said Im keeping it business, right?"
"So, you say", he said, with a touch of humor.
Makensie was finding it tough to remain serious in this case. She never was THIS jokey, and kiddish, but Ace brought out a different side of her, than others.
"DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!!", she said, out loud.
Ace laughs, and says, "....and DAMN"
"Taxi!!!!", she hollers.
As one quickly pulled up, she hopped in, almost leaving Ace behind, as he said, "Hey!!! Hold up!!"
He quickly got in, as the Taxi drove off.

"Okay, fine, we'll split up." Ace said, breaking a long silence in the cab, "Driver, let me out right here."
"No, no, it's okay!" Mak said, then, under her breath, she added, "Damn!"
"Ha, I heard that. I'll be at the tailor!" Ace laughed. He then hopped out of the car before Mak could say another word.
Mak also jumped out of the cab to run after him, but he had already caught another and was off to the tailor.
"Yes, this is definitely the thread of a woman." Penelope, the tailor, told Ace.
"I am certain this footprint came from a short, heavy person. Also, these shoes were the style of a man, size 9 1/2." Dr. Carolyn, the podiatrist, told Mak.
"I was with the priest, at confessionals." Said Jerome to Ace.
"I was eating dinner at Sami's." Told Thaddeus to Mak.
"No, nobody I know has motive." Jerome told Ace.
"Yeah, that old lady, Drusilla something, her neighbor. She's always hated Anna." Thaddeus told Mak.
Hooray!

After finding out the new info, she first rushed to Sami's to see if Thaddeus was really there, as he told her.
Ace met up with her, and told her of his information. Makensie looks at him, and says, "Great....Now, Im off to the restaurant"
"I will go with you", he said.
She turns, after calling for a cab, and says, "No, u wanted to split up, remember?" The cab pulled up, she got in the backseat, and smiles at him, as the cab drives off.
"Not only is she charming, she is also very stubborn", he said. Shrugging, he thinks, Will just catch up to her later"
Meanwhile, Makensie rushes into the restaurant, and asks the waitress if Thaddeus was here having dinner.
Thinking, she said, "Hmmm, actually, no, he wasnt here"
Thanking her, she walks out, and says, "Interesting." Then, thinking about it, she walks in, and explains the case, and she asks, "Is there something you can tell me of this case"
"Jerome thinks he knows who the murder is....", she said.
Thanking her, she walks out, and says, "Damn! Now I have to actually hunt Ace down, and tell him this Jerome that he questioned thinks he knows who the murder is"
Before she decided to do that, she thought she would go pay this Drusilla a visit, to find out why she hated Anna so much.
She was actually getting more done by herself, when suddenly, Ace appeared, smiling, as always.
They shared their information with one another, and he even got her to laugh this time.
"Drusilla huh?", he asks.
"Yup....I guess she had it in for Anna for some reason", Mak said.
Ace nods, then says, "After we talk to her, I'm going to go talk to Jerome...seems he has something he needs to tell me"
"Good idea", Mak said.
She yawned, and placed her head against the window. "I'm exhausted", she said.
She shut her eyes, only to rest them.....but, she quickly fell asleep, on their way to Drusilla's.
