Update for 11/28/18: Please note that this story is pretty old and will either be remade later on or discarded all-together. I've kind of lost interest in writing it, as you can probably tell, heh.

Maroon Lake is a professional detective, and though many ponies have told her to work for the government, she'd much rather do it on her own.
But she suddenly gets a phone call from Rarity, her boss, and she says she needs to come to her office immediately. Maroon obeys her orders, and once she does get there, she is met with a case of a murder at a candystore that she needs to solve.
Of course, she takes this as an opportunity to prove to others how good a detective she can be and that she doesn't need any pony else, so she doesn't hesitate to agree to solve it.
But that's not all that Rarity tells her...

WARNING: Contains dark themes, gore, swearing, and violence. Also contains a bit of CheriMack.
Additional tags: Adventure, Adagio Dazzle, Starlight Glimmer, Aria Blaze, Sonata Dusk, Cherilee
Most of the characters will be in the story later on.

I'm kind of planning this to be a whole series, so... Stay tuned. xD
