### The Wheels of Doom

Maxton was first interrogated when Connor Stout and the player found his backpack in the dark alley where Chinese mob member Yuan Feng was murdered. We decide to return Maxton's backpack to him and we use this opportunity to ask him if he knew Feng. Maxton said that he did indeed know Feng. Maxton said he knew Feng because he saw him smoking behind the school and thought he looked cool, so he decided to introduce himself. Maxton said that ever since then, he and Feng have been close friends.

Maxton was later spoken to again when the team found security footage of him and Feng behind the school with drugs. We asked Maxton about his drug use, and he told us that he's never done drugs in his life and that the drugs were Feng's. He told us that when he wanted to introduce himself to Feng, they talked for a bit while Feng was holding a bag with drugs in it. However, a school faculty member was coming their way, so Feng threw the drugs at Maxton and ran away, causing Maxton to nearly be expelled from school.

Maxton was found to be innocent when the team arrested Feng's girlfriend, fashion student Ruby Lane, for his murder.

### The Murder of Knowledge

Maxton appeared again as a suspect after the team found a paper stickman resembling two friends holding hands with his name and Frankie's on it. Maxton said Frankie was his best friend and his closest one, as they met during a science fair in class. He said Frankie is pretty much your average nerdy boy, but he still finds him interesting to be friends with.

Maxton was questioned again after the team found text messages from Frankie's phone, telling Maxton to pay him 20$ every week. When asked about it, Maxton simply said Frankie needed money to fund his mathematical project about unsolved hypotheses he's going to send to a local fair. We did not buy it and asked if Frankie is blackmailing Maxton, but he refused to say another word.

In the end, Maxton was declared guilty of Frankie's murder. Maxton says he killed Frankie because he was a cheater, a fraud and a snake. He pretended to be a good friend of Maxton, but he was always one step ahead of Maxton and he got every teacher to like him. He says Frankie started spreading false rumors about him to make him hated and he always screwed Maxton over in competitions too. The last straw for Maxton was when he saw a pack of drugs in Frankie's hand that he put on Maxton's desk to get him expelled. He says he doesn't know why Frankie did this, but Maxton couldn't let him ruin his career.

Judge Palin sentenced Maxton to 25 years in jail.
