The King Mob of Manehattan
Chapter 8: A Seed of Doubt Growing...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs we ride a helicopter I hold out my detonator. "Hope you like hell you megalomaniac," I said to myself as I press the button. An entire chunk of building had bursts from its origin, and the entire top half of the building tilted towards the right before caving in on itself. Rainbow looks at the destruction in horror. "I win," I said. Rainbow looks away, horrified at the carnage.
"Jeez Fire Shot, what did the guy threaten you with?" Bullet Count asked.
"My most closest friend," I said. I look at Rainbow, crying as she is traumatized for life probably. "Are you alright?" I ask. She looks at me before looking back.
"Did he ask for this? Anon I mean?" She asks.
"No, but it's what the guy gets for threatening my mare," I said. Rainbow looks at the building.
"Did he threaten anyone else?" She asked.
"Many others," I said. Rainbow nods. "I'm going to drop you off at a friend's house, she'll take good care of you, just wait for Anon to get there, okay?" I ask. Rainbow nods. I watch her to get in the house with Ruby.
I walk around the wreckage, getting anything valuable. I then saw the stallion of nightmares in the corner of my eye. I walk over to Alvin, still breathing, barely. He is looking rather well for someone who just survived a building collapse. I walk over. Gun out with a silencer. "I figured out your pattern newbie," he said. Every time you're about to kill, you have a silencer on. Heh, what's wrong with noise? I thought you're from The Hellbringers," he wheezed. I smirked.
"I like to make it a surprise. Everything would seem to be going well until I kill someone. It goes unnoticed at first. Until more and more disappear. You won't know who I will hit or what I aim for until it's too late. Then, everything goes to hell," I said I aim the barrel of my gun at him. "Now, do us all a favor and die," I finished. Alvin chuckles.
"I made an actual pony out of you," he said. I shook my head.
"No, you made a monster who will turn into a demon if you're not careful. Those were the last words he ever heard before a bullet goes into his brain.
I sighed as I sat at home, in my human form and an angry pony in front of me. "Anon, you have five minutes to tell me what the hell is going on," she said rather calmly.
"Well, where do you want me to start?" I ask.
"The beginning, and no jokes or lies," she said.
"Okay, so about a week ago, I had a job for Alvin. He wanted me to decode a laptop. Once I did, I found illegal transaction like weaponry from his own company. Turned out, he was a bad stallion. Before I went to the police, he threatened me. If I payed him five thousand the first week and ten thousand the second, I'd be safe. Then, he threatened to hurt you. I couldn't just let him do that. I worked multiple job and then he thought I did something against him. I hired two mercenaries to go get you and bring you back safely. I guess you know the rest," I said. Rainbow nods.
"Who were the mercenaries?" She asks. I shrug.
"I think their names are Bullet Count and Fire Shot," I answered. Rainbow nods.
"Alright, you're not off the hook, but I will ask more questions later," she said. I nodded. As Rainbow Dash leaves, she pauses for a second. "Anon? Have you ever shot a gun?" She asks. I stopped dead in my tracks.
"No, why?" I ask. Rainbow looks at me up and down.
"Have you ever killed anyone?" She asks. I stopped. Rainbow looks at my eyes, waiting.
"Once," I said. "On accident," I finished. Rainbow nods again, staring. I then, made my mistake of looking away. Rainbow noticed I tried not to look at her and her heart skipped a beat. Because I looked away, she knows I lied.
"Alright, we'll have a good time, I'll see you later," she said. I waved bye as she leaves, not sure if she feels safe around a now potentially dangerous human.
I groaned as I plopped on the couch, dialing Bullet Count. The other end picked up soon. "Hey Anon, are you okay?" He asks.
"Yeah, just got finished being questioned by the Rainbow I know and loved," I said. "I think she knows I've lied," I said.
"Wait, she never even knew you were a mobster in the first place? That's a little messed up," Bullet said on the other end.
"Shut up, you don't have any idea how difficult this is," I said. "Besides, your marefriend is in the gang too," I said. Silence played over.
"What?" He asks slowly. I realized I forgot to tell him.
"Yeah, didn't she tell you?" I ask.
"Anon, I love Ruby, and you put her in the Hellbringers?!" He asks.
"Hold on, I didn't say she'd be able to get shot," I said.
"What?"
"Yeah, she's an Intel mare, that is if she keeps liking that job," I said. A sigh of relief is heard.
"So she doesn't get in trouble?" He asks.
"The most trouble she could get is getting drunk or something," I said.
"That doesn't sound better," he said.
"Do you want me to to give her something harder?" I ask.
"No, I don't," he said.
"Then don't worry, she's a big mare and she can take care of herself," I said. We both chatted some more for a little bit until I needed some sleep. I only wish that I can sleep though. Now, I broke my love's trust.
