Taking down the Trainers

At the Manehatten Crime lab, Aegis Blade, in full lab coat, inspected the DNA/Semen samples he had retrieved from the slaves and from the society's "kennel" respectively. He had seen enough of Tourmaline's twisted society to last him a lifetime. As he slowly drew out the samples from the analyzer, he noticed that the samples all had one thing in common. All shared Tourmaline's DNA in many different points. He smiled as he put the evidence into plastic cases. As he gave the cases to the resident DNA specialist, Decoded Genome, who curtly received his DNA with a "thank you" in the sort of air which says. "Thanks. Please Amscray."  Genome was the kind of Stallion who wanted to keep his lab spic and span at all times. Aegis was used to it by now. As Aegis left around 5:00 at the end of his shift, he noticed Arden Star sitting on a bench with a small suitcase. Aegis walked up to her.

"Oh. Arden Star, was it? What are you doing here?"

'Oh? sorry. I'm lost in thought. Trying to figure out where I'm gonna stay."

"Hey. I got a spare bedroom. You can stay with me."

"Thanks a lot. By the way, this was everything the police could salvage that belonged to me."

After a short walk, they arrived at Aegis's apartment. It was medium-sized, with photos commemorating his Police accomplishments alongside modern art pictures. A small tan sofa sat next to a small Radio, and it was modestly furnished, and Arden took a few breaths. It was hard for the former sex slave to comprehend.

"It's not much." Aegis said, interrupting  Arden's train of thought.  "I actually own the place, well, my dad back in Stalliongrad bought it for me when I moved here. Nice view, huh?" he said as he moved the blinds. Arden stared out the window at the shimmering lake outside the window.

"Right on the lakefront. One day, when i'm off work, we can have a little fun in the sun." Aegis quipped. "Lemme show you your room."

Arden set her stuff down on the oak table and flopped down on the bed. The mattress sank to compensate for her body weight.  She took off the T-shirt and jeans she was wearing and took out the nightgown that she had managed to keep hidden from Schorl. As she put it on, she reveled in the silk clothing.

As she walked out of her room, she saw Aegis making a cup of tea. As she sat down on the couch and opened a book, Aegis set the tea down on a coaster near her.

"Thanks, Aegis."

"No Problem."

As Aegis turned on the radio, classical music filled the apartment. As Arden relaxed on the sofa, Aegis turned up the volume slightly.

"Easy case. All the evidence we needed was gathered at the scene. I promise you Schorl Tourmaline will never be seen or heard from again."

"That's good news. Finally I can relax."
