It was quiet on the top floor of the Starlight hotel as a cleaning maid exists a room. She's humming to herself when she hears a loud crash. This startles the maid and she turns her attention to a broom closet that's next to her. She slowly approaches the closet and puts an ear to it.

"Ow, that hurts."

"Aw, suck it up, Face-ache, god damn this is uncomfortable."

"Gah, Murdoc stop moving, this really hurts!"

"Fuck off, not my fault you can't handle a little pain!"

"Shut up, and get off me!"

The maid blushes deeply as she hears this. 'My goodness.' thought the maid. She backs away, back to her cart when the door bursts open. 2D falls on his back with Murdoc on top of him. "Ow, you bastard." hissed 2D.

"Fuck you." spat Murdoc. He raised a fist but stopped upon seeing the cleaning maid. 2D looks up to stare as well. The maid's mouth is hung open, a deep blush on her face. "I-uh, I swear I won't tell anyone about you two." said the maid.

The words hit Murdoc and his whole face turns red. "Hold up, that's not i-" started Murdoc. The maid only waves a hand and winks at them. "Don't be shy, you two are so cute together." said the maid. She left, leaving 2D and Murdoc stunned.

"This is all YOUR fault!" yelled Murdoc. "My fault, you refused to get off of me!" yelled 2D. There was a ruckus in the closet and Jag came out. He stared at the two to scratch his head. "Did I miss something?" asked Jag.

"Only that a cleaning maid now thinks the Dullard and I are an item." snarled Murdoc. "That's just unfair, I ain't gay." said 2D. "Neither am I!" yelled Murdoc. "Well, you two may come off as a couple since you both fight like one." said Jag. They glared at the cybernetic Darkrai but he ignores it.

"Besides, you aren't Stu's type." said Jag. "Can we please stop this, we need to get to our room." said 2D. "Ya, I want my bass back!" said Murdoc. "Uh, Murdoc, you say that you're not gay and not interested in Stu, so, why haven't you gotten off of him yet?" asked Jag. The two band mates stare at each other to blush more and roll away.

"Okay, let's go." coughed Murdoc. They run down the hall and finally come to their room. Murdoc inserts the key and opens the door to be met by silence. Something wasn't right, the bassist could feel it. "Cortez, where are you!" called Murdoc.

There was no caw or flash of black, Cortez didn't come to Murdoc's call. The three came into the room more and Murdoc was a panicking but didn't show it. "Where's my raven?" asked Murdoc. 2D got on the floor and looked under the beds to see a black lump under it. He reached under and pulled it out chuckle.

The others came over to see. It was Cortez, sleeping soundly. "Why the hell was he under my bed?" asked Murdoc. "Sleeping obviously." said Jag. Murdoc took Cortez for something to fall to the ground.

2D picked it up to see it was a golden hooped earring. "Looks like Cortez found our clue." said 2D. Murdoc snorted and looked at his bird. "Bloody pigeon made me worry for nothing." snarled Murdoc. A small coo sounded and they looked to see Cortez was waking up.

"You bloody bird, you worried me!" yelled Murdoc. Cortez cawed loudly and flew away to sit on Murdoc's pillow. He then settled down and fell asleep again. "Damn bird." said Murdoc. 2D laughed at that but looked at the earring.

"This looks familiar." said 2D. "It'll come to you, now, we need suspects." said Jag. "Tsk, won't that be the whole hotel staff?" asked Murdoc. "No, only the cleaning staff, manager, and bellboys have keys to the rooms." said Jag. "Don't forget the guests, there are rich people here." said 2D.

"So, basically the whole hotel guests list." said Murdoc. The three groaned, this wasn't easy. "Well, we still have this clue." said 2D. "Ya, ya." spat Murdoc. The singer stared at the earring long and hard, he KNOWS he saw this, it felt like only minutes ago...

Then it hit 2D and he jumped up. "That maid!" exclaimed 2D. "What maid?" asked Murdoc. "The one we saw when we tumbled out of the closet, I remembered when she faced us, she only had on a golden hooped earring." said 2D. "So?" asked Murdoc.

"So, she had only ONE on, her other ear had no earring." said 2D. Murdoc gaped at him and Jag nodded. "So, the maid WAS in the room, which makes no sense since we only just checked in, the cleaning crew wouldn't have come in." said Jag. "So we need to see that damn maid, well that'll be awkward." said Murdoc. "Why?" asked 2D.

"Uh, her first impression of us was that we're gay for each other and in the closet." said Murdoc. "But, I thought you guys came out of the closet." said Jag. The two glared at him as the cyborg laughed. "Hey, I'm allowed to have some fun." teased Jag. "Shut up and let's find the maid." said Murdoc.

They left the room and looked for the cart but it was gone. "She must have moved to a different floor." said Jag. "Come on the elevator is over there." said Murdoc. They came to the elevator and road it down to the floor below them. The door opened and the three came face-to-face with the maid.

"Oh sorry, I'll take a different elevator." said the maid, blushing at them. 2D blushed red and Murdoc glared. "No, we need to have a chat with you." said Murdoc. "About what, I already said I wouldn't tell about your relationship." said the maid. Jag laughed and 2D made a move to strangle him.

Murdoc shook his head at the two and reached into his pocket. "No, we need to talk about my bass." said Murdoc, showing her the earring. The maid paled at this and gulped. She backed away but Murdoc had grabbed her. "Let's chat somewhere private, shall we?" sneered Murdoc.

The maid hung her head in defeat as the three lead her down the hall.

A/N: Well, they got their first clue and suspect. Will she confess to where the bass is? or is it a dead end? Stay tuned and plz review.
