Ghost in the shell: Equestrian architecture

Applejack shifted to a lower gear. Her targets didn´t seem to notice her, either that or they were trying to get her close enough for them to be able to attack.

Good luck with that. Applejack thought. She opened the glove compartment and took out a lock down collar and a pair of cuffs. Should be coming up on a road block pretty soon.

The vehicle she was following picked up speed and rushed past a few cars along the way. The fresh rain sprayed from underneath the wheels.

Now they´ve spotted me. Applejack pressed down the pedal and shifted to a higher gear. The engine roared at the sudden increased in speed. She rushed past the same cars and chased the target car. The car made a small jump as she drove over a small bump. In the rearview mirror she could see a row of metallic triangles rising. Up ahead she saw a set of police cars parked in front of a similar row of triangles. Officers with floodlights stood behind open doors.

“Step out of the car!” A voice said over a megaphone.

The car stopped. Applejack slowed down before stopping behind them. She took the lock down collar and the hand cuffs with her.

“Get out with our hands up!”

None exited the car.

Applejack drew her gun, got out and slowly approached the vehicle.

“I repeat; come out with our hands up!”

The front window shattered as the drivers in the car opened fire. The officer holding the megaphone hit the ground and the floodlight died.

Applejack rushed forward. With her left arm she smashed the window and grabbed driver by the neck. She wrapped her arm around his shoulder and neck and took aim for the man in the passenger seat. “Drop your weapon.”

He did as he was told and held up his arms.

“Get out of the car.” Applejack said just has another officer rushed up behind the man and pulled him out of the car. She put the lockdown collar on the driver. “They´re all ours.” She looked into the back seat but there was nothing there. She opened the trunk and there was only a white doll. It still had all its limps attached and was clearly female. “Shit.” She closed the trunk with a slam. “Major, the car I was following was just a decoy.”

“Thanks for the update.”

“Where´s the car you´re following heading?”

“East, towards the harbor.”

“Roger that.” Applejack headed for her car. “I´ll meet you there.”
