Just a quick heads up, my name is NATE. NOT HERALD

Nick parked the truck and turned it off by separating a few groups of wires. Celestia came with him to the small house. It was on a long dirt road. The road only had 2 homes. One was abandoned and the other looked some what well kept.

Nick parked the truck on the road. The two of them exited the truck. Nick checked the pistol to make sure it was fully loaded. He approached the home. A light in the living room showed a shadow of a man as he walked out of view of the window.

"Celestia get the door for me." Nick said calmly.

"Okay." Celestia said a tad nasally from her sore nose.

Celestia's horn glowed and a burst of magic shot like lightning at the door making it explode. There was a scream from inside and Nick saw a skinny man fall to the floor. Nick rushed up and kept both hands on the pistol. One hand on the trigger, and one on the bottom of the grip where the clip was held in.

"Don't move!" He shouted using a deep commanding voice.

"Who are you!?" The man asked in a shout from the floor.

"WE'RE your worst nightmare." Celestia said walking in the house.

"What is going on!?" He asked.

"Where's the truck?" Nick asked calmly keeping the pistol level with the man's head.

"What?!" He shouted.

"I'm going to ask you again, WHERE'S THE TRUCK?" Nick asked.

"I don't know!"

"Celestia, restrain him for a while." Nick said.

Celestia's horn glowed and she gave an evil grin.


"Please...I don't know about any trucks!" the man, who's name had been Herald, begged.

"Again Princess." Nick said calmly.

The Princess reared up and bucked Herald in the side of head once again "Oooh! This is fun!" Celestia said with an evil joy.

"Herald? Are you okay? Would you like me to get the Princess to find a way to hurt you that's less.....dazing?" Nick asked  "Or would you like the pain to stop entirely? Just tell me where the truck is heading." he suggested.

"Ne-never. I think in horse that's 'neigh!' "Herald said spitting to the ground near Celestia.

"I..am...not...a horse!" Princess Celestia scolded moving and then bucked Herald in the chest, continuously.

Herald, who was restrained with chains from garage, was chained to a metal bed from pushed up against a wall in his home.

"Stop Celestia!" Nick said moving to stop her "We need him alive for a just a little while longer."

Celestia stopped after close to 6 bucks. "I...I'm worn out, get that golf club from the garage. I need a rest." Celestia said in taking rapid breaths.

"Okey dokey loki." Nick said grabbing the steel putter from the corner near the door where he left it. He returned to Herald while Celestia went to find a drink in the kitchen.

"Willing to talk?" Nick asked.

"Arn't you a little young to be doing this?!" Herald asked.

"Maybe, but I enjoy it!" Nick said swinging the club and striking Herald in the chest. "Talk?"

"Never! You little teenage scum bag!" Herald shouted over pain.

"Fine." Nick said turning his back to Herald. He took a step or two away from Herald then turned again. He took a golfing stance as if he was aiming a shot with a golf ball. Then he brought the putter over his head, and swung like he was hitting a golf ball, and struck Herald's balls with the full force he could muster.

"ARGHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Herald shouted going into a high pitched squeal half way through.

Herald lowered his head and whispered words of agony. He clenched his teeth in pain and then began coughing. He eventually threw up on his shoes.

"Ready to talk? Or should I play 18 holes on your grapes?" Nick asked.

"Fu...fuck you."  Herald said weakly.

Nick got back into his golfing stance "Hole 1."

He swung with all his might.

"AHHH! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOO!" Herald screeched to the ceiling eyes clenched in agony.

"Wanna chat?" Nick asked.

"No..."

"Hole 2." Nick said swinging again.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Herald crooned.

"Hole 3." Nick said calmly swinging and striking Herald in his grapes for a 4rth time.

"AHHHHHHHH!" Herald screamed for a 4rth time.

Celestia came back through the bedroom door. With a bottled water and some toast following her in the air.

"Are you two having fun?" Celestia asked sipping the water.

"Yeah, I'm pretty good at golf." Nick said. "Hole 4."

"No! Stop! I"ll talk! I'll talk!" Herald screamed.

"Where's the truck, then?" Nick asked.

"Its..........its........heading for a private airport.......in South Carolina.......then.....Alaska, by plane. Then boat to Russia. All the details are my laptop. The locked folder marked Kersa Ultra the password for the folder is "Nova". The laptop is on my kitchen counter next to the sink."

"Celestia go get that laptop for me please." Nick requested.

Celestia went out to the kitchen and returned with the laptop. Nick took it from her and began searching the desktop for the file mentioned before.

"Kersa Ultra." Nick said as he found it. "Nova."

He laid the laptop on the bed.

He pulled Clarke's cellphone from his pocket and hit 2 on the speed dial.

"I've got something." He said before the person on the line could greet him.

"What?" H asked.

"It's on a laptop, its the plan. The Russian's plan!" Nick said.

"Send it all via Email to H69 at gmail.com." H said. "I gotta go. Right now. I'll call you when I get the email." he said hanging up.

Nick sent the file as ordered.

After 30 seconds. The phone rang. Nick answered it. "Get it?"

"Yep." H answered. "It was in....Chinese. I had to send it to the Pentagon to be translated and processed."

"Chinese?" Nick said with a deep tone of confusion.

"Yes. Now that we have the plan. Your orders are to terminate the source of the info and the device it came from." H said seriously "Gotta go again." he said hanging up.

Nick put the phone in his pocket then without saying a word went to the kitchen.

"Nick what are you doing?" Celestia asked following him. Nick found a rack of knives in the kitchen, he drew the largest one then went back to the bedroom. Sidestepping past the Princess.

He stood in front of Herald.

"Orders are...to terminate." Nick said coldly.

"Wha...?" Herald began but the knife cut him off with a quick slash across the throat. Herald passed with a look of sudden shock on his face.

Nick picked up the laptop from the bed where he left it.  He closed it and then slammed it down on his knee. Breaking it in two. He checked the pieces until he found the hardrive. He ripped it out and then threw it on the floor and stomped on it 5 times.

"Let's get out of here." Nick said to Princess Celestia.


"H? You said room 14, right?" Nick asked through the cellphone. At the hotel H has apparently reserved a room at for Nick and Princess, Nick drove in the dark parking lot until her found the rooms below number 20. He found room 14.

"Yeah, 14. The key is tied to a rose in the bushes in front of the door." H said.

"Found it." Princess Celestia said after breifly poking her head in a bush.

"Okay."  Nick said to the phone "We got it."

"Good. Gotta go." H said hanging up.

They entered the room quickly.  The room had quite a bit. Near the window there was a large circular table with several chairs around it.  There was a door to a bathroom and a shower, there a mini fridge next to the TV across from the bed. THE bed. Singular.

"One bed?" Nick said upon looking at the room.

"I suppose we're bed buddies." Celestia joked with a giggle afterwords "Watch out....I drool quite a bit. "

"You roll onto me, you wake up on the floor. " Nick said.

"What? I'm just kidding. Unless you really want to experiment with a pony." Celestia teased.

"No!" Nick scolded.

"Really? Not even a little?" Celestia said  now sounding more serious.

"You kiss me, try to touch me, or do anything sexual, I will hit you." Nick said turned on the TV and began flipping channels.

"Mmmmmm....where?" Celestia asked in a whispered.

"What?" Nick asked still flipping channels.

"Where would you hit me? My flank, my face?"

"Oh, shut up!" Nick scolded. "Ah, I found FOX. Why the hell is it channel 25?" He complained "Man, I'm hungry. It's really weird, but, I really want some waffles right now."

"I have a waffle you could have a taste of..." Celestia said.

Nick took a second to process that. He then proceeded to make some vomit-like sounds. "Thats just........wrong! Celestia please shut up!"

"What? Your hungry? And I have a wonderful snack on my person here."  Celestia said seductively.

"Why are you doing this to me?" Nick asked.

"Because."

"Because why?" Nick asked.

"Because."

"I'm not playing anymore. I'm going to sleep." Nick said climbing into the some-what nice bed. He pulled the covers over his chest. Then rolled over and closed his eyes.

"Hit the lights please." Nick said.

"Fine. Your no fun." Celestia said pouting.
