Wolfhound: Secret Heroes

We’d arrived in Manehattan. I’d told Jackson, Sarah, and Ranger about my hunch, and they agreed that it’d be a good idea. An extra guy or two could make a huge difference in a firefight, no matter how skilled they are.

We found the Police Station, and I went in.

After getting access to the records, I’d found him. My old pal was now a Sheriff of Manehattan.

I laughed a little. “Flash Sentry, you crazy ba**ard, you.” I can't believe he actually got that far up! How long's it been? Twelve years, six in the Force? Flash Sentry was two years younger than me. Ambitious Son of a Gun.

I went back to the lobby, where everyone was waiting for me. I went up to the officer who’d given me access to the personnel files and requested an audience with the Sheriff.

“He’s in a meeting right now, but it should be wrapped up already. You’ll probably catch him walking out the door.” The officer said.

“Good enough for me. I’m an old friend of his, though I doubt he’d recognize me. Twelve years have passed.”

“That’ll do it. There’s the door. If they’re still talking, just stand to the side. It’s nothing classified, with your rank.”

We’d all received a small patch to pin on that showed us as Elite Guards of varying ranks. I was a Sergeant Major, Jackson a Sergeant. Sarah and Ranger were both Corporals.

I nodded my thanks to the officer, and walked toward the door. Jackson and co. had followed, but I motioned them to stay outside. I wanted my reuniting with Flash to be personal, not just business.

Firestar walked towards the door. I was curious what he was feeling. Upon scanning, he was joyous, but also a little anxious, as well.

I watched him open the door, and a voice came through.

“-And that wraps it up-hello, what do we have here?”

Firestar paused, then walked in. “Flash Sentry? You remember me? Firestar?”

“Firestar… Wait, Firestar, that awesome smart-a** back in elementary?”

“The very same.”

“No way! Come on in! Whatcha need? We’re all done here.”

“Couple things,” the door started to shut, “wanted to catch up, and I need your help. These Guards can help, too, if they want.”

“Okay. What do you need help wi-” The door finally closed all the way.

I settled down in a chair next to it in the hallway, and waited. I could hear muffled voices, but I couldn’t understand what they were saying.

After about ten minutes, Firestar and three other men came out. Two of them were dressed in the standard off-duty clothing of a serving Guard, and the other wore a police uniform with a Sheriff badge on it. Sheriff was a Pegasus, and the two Guards were Unicorns.

Firestar motioned me to follow him. “We’ll meet and greet on the way there. Grab our gear and meet up at Rendezvous Point Beta.

I nodded, and set off to do exactly that.
