After the (relative) success of The Canterlot Caper, the professional crime group known as The Circus has regrouped to Ponyville and are now pondering their next step. They need somepony to cover their tracks. Somepony who can stop investigation, bribe officials, or bury evidence while still remaining above suspect.

Somepony like… Twilight Sparkle.

After all, everypony has a price. Now Flim, Flam, Trixie, Suri Polomare, Filthy Rich, Ditzy Doo and Topsy Twitchy just have to figure out hers and steal it.

How about the Idol of Boreas, for example?

Sure, it’s lost in time and space, but with the help a certain friend of Ditzy’s and an energy source from another world, such minor inconveniences can surely be taken care of…

This story is a sequel to The Canterlot Caper, which is recommended (if not necessary) to read first. There will be some references to it here but only details.
