Ms. Rarity

I was overwhelmed. Another murder. Despite my amazement, Rarity remained serious and calmed. She looked at me; she laughed and then told me:

-I was expecting another assassination.

-And why you didn’t mention it before?

-For I was thinking in two different scenarios

-Which were they?

-Clearly, this is a passional crime, a bit twisted. My first panorama consisted in the corpse of Sunnymare beign the only one. In the other hand, I thought in two cadavers, both mares.

-But how… - I said and she immediately stopped me.

-No time for talking, here, take this lantern while I examine the scene.

As she examined, suddenly she stopped and told me:

-Firo, can you take that piece of glass in the mud?

I took it and tried to give it to her, scared, she told me to keep it because it was dirty. She’s really refined.

-This case is solved, Firo. The only thing we have to do is catch the pony who did this and I already fixed that.  By now, let’s find more proof of his guiltiness.

Before leaving, I looked back at the dead body. The mare with black mane, orange skin like the sunsets in Canterlot and red eyes like fire. Her Cutie Mark was a couple of drumsticks, so I can tell her talent was playing drums. Very young comparing her to the other victim. I don’t know what to say about this one, I just hope that Rarity is correct.

Next day, Rarity was opening the door to a baby dragon. It seemed that she tasked him a mission, I approached her to talk to her and she said:

-No time for talk, the Royal Guard will be here soon and we’re going to a house near to the Sugarcube Corner. By the way, the victim from yesterday was named Stinger.

-Right, let’s go now

And so we started our trip. I still can’t understand how she discovered it and I think I shall never understand it. We took a cab and she emphasized in how quick we had to get there. She knocked he door and a gray stallion with orange mane and a Cutie Mark composed by a dynamite pack. He stared at us for a moment and then asked for what we were looking for. Rarity answered calmed:

-Oh, hi there, sir. I’m Rarity and this is my partner Firo. As you may know, I’m a fashion designer and I’m looking for a specific sort of fabric. Can you show me your most beautiful clothes?

-Ah, yeah. I think you can. Come in.

We entered and it was a very average apartment, Rarity and our host went upstairs towards his room. I accompanied them, but Rarity ordered me to wait outside. I stayed in the corridor and, for curiosity; I looked at one of the rooms. The only thing I could see, were a disarmed drums. Then I understood everything. Suddenly, he showed up behind me and yelled:

-What are you doing facing there?

Behind him, Rarity showed me a green bag as she pointed at him, then I got it, but it was too late because, suddenly, he jumped at me and punched me in the cheek. I was almost knocked out and ready to receive the last punch when I heard a shout coming from the behind of my aggressor. Out of nowhere, Rarity kicked him with one of her rear paws with an amazing maneuver. They started to fight and Rarity managed to master him.  We kept him against the ground for a while until the guards arrived with the baby dragon. They handcuffed him in a chair and Rarity asked:

-What’s your name?

-Koda, my name is Koda. – He said, panting

-Weird name. – She said. –But, not so weird when you’re from Appleloosa.

-How did you know that? – He said, astonished.

-The bag where you carried the body of your wife was made with sailcloth. Strong enough to hold debris in your job as a miner. There are not many mining companies in Equestria, so I researched and found out that there’s only one. And it’s placed in Appleloosa, your homeland. The only thing I want to know is why you killed them?
