It was a brand new day in San Marie and Humphrey arrived at the station to see the new officer watering the plants. Although Humphrey had forgotten he was starting today.
"Good morning Sir!" The officer spoke, "My name's JP Hooper" he continued.  While JP introduced himself Humphrey could feel his shoes getting wet so he looked down.

JP was accidentally watering his feet.

"Sorry about that!" JP exclaimed rushing to find something to dry his feet with.

"I'm not fired am I?" JP questioned.

"Of Course not!" Humphrey replied. With that Florence entered, she was confused at the sight she saw.

"JP! this is Sergeant Florence Cassell, Florence this is JP!" Humphrey exclaimed and the pair introduced themselves. The phone then rang. Florence picked it up and seconds later she put it down.

"There's been a death, the scorpion lounge" she announced. At this point the police force made their way down to the recording studio to meet Dwayne.

"One band member has died" he announced. "The band is called..." he continued pausing to find the name of the band.

"If you don't know the name of the band they can't be that popular" Florence spoke.

"Flowers of Progress" Dwayne spoke, Dwayne was certain no one would have heard of them.

"Flowers of Progress?!" Humphrey exclaimed. Of course if anyone had heard of them it would've been Humphrey.
************************************
Later on Florence and Humphrey went to interview Pete Thunders. On the way Florence spoke up

"Sir, I have to be honest with you. You don't seem to be the type to listen to this band"

"Correct you are Florence, i was forced" Humphrey replied.

Florence laughed, "Forced? By who? A girl?" She questioned.

Humphrey laughed "yes actually, Angela Matterson. She was a very forceful girl, if she told you to buy an album you bought and studied that album"

Florence laughed. "Did anything ever happen?"

Humphrey snorted. "God no"

Then they arrived.
They discovered that Pete 'liked' which they found odd.

When they returned to station Dwayne told them about some fan magazine, so with a simple look online they were able to print them out.

"Should we take them to Catherine's bar and get a drink?" Florence suggested. Humphrey agreed.

"They're all written by 'Daisy Buttercup' I wonder who they are" Humphrey muttered.

They spend a bit of time going through the magazines before Humphrey piped up.

"Did you have your own Angela Matterson?"

Florence nodded "My five brothers, whenever I brought my boyfriends to the house they'd always scare them off"

"What did you do?"

"Simple really, I just stopped bringing my boyfriends to the house"

Humphrey laughed. Soon the pair called it a night.

*************************************Sometime after interviewing Disco Biscuit or Duncan Roberts, Florence printed the copy of the reissued copy of the album. Yet it failed to credit Disco.

"Is there an address?" Dwayne asked

"Yes, it's 17 Lee vale, Marston, Oxford". Humphrey replied.

"The flower seeds!" Florence cried. Quickly Florence and Humphrey scanned through the issues.

"Here!" Florence shouted

"Here!" Humphrey spoke.

"Who is this Daisy Buttercup?"

"I know!" JP said.
*************************************"Cheryl, or do you prefer Daisy Buttercup?" Humphrey spoke. This caused Cheryl to spit her drink out.

" I should er.. change" she spoke  quickly.

"No No, it will soon dry in the sun" Florence replied.

"How many of the band know that as well as their manager you are their biggest fan?" Humphrey asked.

"None of them" Cheryl replied with embarrassment whilst fiddling with a necklace.
     Florence was the one who acknowledged this behaviour. Also she realised something else.

"That necklace, it belonged to Stevie? Didn't it" she questioned.Cheryl was stunned at this,

"He gave it to me" she replied

"Seems quite a personal gift, were you and Stevie in a relationship?"

This was when Cheryl cracked and revealed details that they were together and he called it off.
         

"I don't get it!" Humphrey exclaimed, the case clearly frustrated him. "Let's take a break" He continued. After Florence caught him taking to the dead click beetle he stepped outside. That's when he solved the murder.
*************************************

"YOU DON'T DO THAT TO ME!" shouted Pete Thunders, it had been revealed he'd killed Stevie Smith. Dwayne was about to arrest him but Pete chucked a chair at him but JP caught it.
Pete made a run for it but Florence pushed him into the pool.

"I can't swim!" Pete confessed.

"Put your feet down" Florence commanded.

Her clothes were totally drenched and her makeup ran down her face. Everyone was clearly impressed with her skills. When she got out the pool and after Pete was arrested she was handed a towel to dry off.
*************************************

"Your first case completed as a DS" Humphrey congratulated. Florence laughed.

"You dealt with me" Humphrey laughed.

"I have a confession" Florence piped up, "I received a letter from Camille, it had instructions on how to deal with you. So if it's anyone you want to thank it's her"

Humphrey laughed.

"There's one more thing to make you a brilliant DS.."

"I know" Florence interrupted, "There's so much to-"

"No, Not like that, A brilliant DS must always have their dancing shoes on" Humphrey replied. He grabbed Florence's hand and brought her to where other people were dancing. The pair danced to the beat. They exchanged warm smiles. Dwayne and JP watched the pair as they danced late into the night.
