I sigh as I read through the bills and papers of the gang's warehouse. Bullet is off to go get our mail, and is taking a little too much time. I look up to see Bullet back with the palest face ever. I walk over and he hands me a letter. I read it to find it was from the princesses. Celestia's asking us to meet her in the royal castle. I scoff. "Bullet, we're gangsters, and she expects us to do what she sa-" I was cut off when I notice two royal guards standing in front of our door. "... Okay then," I say calmly and got up. Bullet follows me as we are escorted to a carriage. I make sure they don't notice my revolvers behind my wings, and grinned when they don't check me. The carriage was rather small as we're being carried off to the castle. I look at one of the guards, "Hey, how did you guys find us?" I ask. The guard stays silent and stoic as we bump along the road. "... Do you speak Equestrian?" I ask. The guard keeps silent while Bullet's giving me a death glare. "... So... This is a rather roomy carriage," I say. The guards just keep staring straight ahead. At this point, I just shut up and enjoy the ride.

Bullet Count and I sit in chairs in the dining hall, Celestia sitting across from us with Luna. I stared at our food and look up. "Poison?" I ask. Celestia shakes her head as she eats. I look back down and cautiously took a bite of my hay bacon and wait. I look at Bullet and nod before chow ing down cautiously. When we were done, Celestia wipes her snout with a napkin.

"I have a proposition." She states. I glance at Bullet Count before staring at the sun princess. "There have been some... Other gangsters that have been harassing us, and we need help." She states. Bullet Count stares, open mouthed. I stared unamused.

"Right, and you totally won't betray us later. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I don't think you know who you're talking to," I say. Bullet Count glares at me, silently threatening death. "I blew up an entire building filled with innocents, and you think I'll listen to you?!" I yell. Celestia nods.

"Yes," she simply states. I smirk and leaned over closely.

"Don't even think about threatening prison because I won't care, I'm not afraid of death," I say clearly.

"I know," Celestia says. I lean back, squinting at her.

"Then, what will you threaten me with? Slow torture? A slower death? Five hundred life sentences? What is your leverage?" I ask. Luna sighs, sipping her tea. Celestia grimaces.

"Nothing. Other than you would obtain honor," she starts. I peek my ears. "Money," I lean in. "And you could be a hero," she finishes. I stared at her on the last one.

"A hero?..." Silence enters the room, moments passive as I stared in sarcastic thought. "Hmm, choices choices, be declared a lame flank teacher's pet, or worse... I'll choose the latter. Besides, you have an army, a police force, and possibly spies. Why not send them?" I ask, turning to leave.

"Because they're corrupted, and you're not."

I stop as soon as she says that. I turn around, rage slightly filled my face. "Celestia, the day I'm a happy ass sparkly pantsy good doer, I'll be dead or pissed off!" I yell. Celestia sighs.

"Fine, leave then. I'm sure you'll change your mind later," she says.

"I won't," I state. It's right then, my phone rings. I pull it out and it's Ruby. "Hello?" Silence ensues as she told me the situation. Our supply chain we inhabited in Canterlot, thanks to the Russian, was just held captive along with some innocents. I gritted my teeth as I look at Celestia. "Celestia, I hope you realize we are indirectly helping you."

Author's Note

Yep, this chapter's short, shoot me. I've been very busy lately, and I have had a hard time trying to make chapters. I started making this chapter two weeks ago, and I finally had some time to actually work on it. I have also tried to do something else, and it's not finished, but I'll get to it.
