In no time the three were heading to Coroner's office.
Officer Cooper, a freckled redhead on her 30-ish says to Sunset (who's on the backseat)
"Your first time in a police car?"
Sunset who almost didn't even heard just said "huh?"
Cooper repeats her question, and Sunset answers actually to the question (too much honestly)
"huh... on the back it's the first time, I used to drag a constabulary cart on Canterlot"
the apparent weirdness of the answer, while accurate left Cooper puzzled and made her quit asking.
Commander Brass as on cue asked
"Soo, you did drag constabulary CARTS on CANTERLOT?"
Sunset Shimmer tries to fix her not-so-random mistake,
"I was meaning I used to drive Constabulary prop 'cars', yes, props made for movies, my dad rented them, but those were way more comfortable than those plastic seats *OUCH*"
Cooper says "dear, just place your arms behind you, trust me"
Sunset did that and in no time felt good once again (at least on shoulder pain)
"Thanks, now is amazingly comfortable, oh, we arrived..."
They leave the car (not Sunset, she had to wait for Cooper to open her door and release her belt)
"Thanks, you guys know your backdoor handles are broken right?"
Cooper replies "it's for handling drunks, we don't want them to leave a moving vehicle and get hurt"
"It's over here, yes, this door, I'l go ask for the Coroner, then we'll go to the iceboxes". Said Commander Brass.
"Hi I am Steve Hooves, the coroner."
Sunset says "Stiff Hooves?"
"No, Steve, hated this joke back on faculty, it sounds like a dead horse joke or something"
Sunset asked "Joke?" but got no answer.
"B46... 42... 44... Here! "Steve opens the icebox (actually just your everyday electric corpse container) then says "it's not too badly decomposed, it mummified naturally, but I have this Mentol stick if you want some"
Then Steve removes the sheet and as with a mirror Sunset Shimmer looks at herself, practically
"I I it's me but not!"
The body looked not quite serene, she was still on her last unnatural contorted resting position, she seemed to have a blow on her head, some stains of dried blood on her now whited out hair, her mouth partially open like as trying to scream, a scream frozen in time...
"she's dead from 3 years ago likely, difficult to date, we didn't found insect remains, body froze instantly and then mummified,.."
Steve was stopped by Cooper when she saw Shimmer getting sick on a bin
"please Stiff, cut the details"
"it's Steve- oh, sorry... Just I feel on home talking like this, my patrons won't complain... Except that one with catalepsy, we cut on his skull with a bonesaw like thi..."
"Please Steve! cut it!" now was Comander cooper who stopped him. Steve shied away after hiding the corpse back. leaving Shimmer and the cops alone Shimmer was bawling now, over the now closed refrigerator.
"It's me! but I'm here how is that possible?"
