"Wires!" I yell walking into my lab. I watch him jump and tell. Then he turns to me.

"U-uh yes? Miss Reigns?" He responds. I walk towards him and hold up the spearhead with my right wing.

"Found this at the crime scene. Can you make a mold of the Ulna and this? I need to be able to mess with them without screwing up the original." I tell him. Walking up and placing the spearhead on the table.

"R-right away!" He sputters out, running out of the room. I turn around and look at Silver.

"I'm not, intimidating, am I?" I ask him. He just makes an uncertain noise as a response. After shooing him out, I go over to Tangled's work station and look at the dental records. There's two possible I.D.s for this stallion. That's narrow enough of a search that I can find which one is missing or deceased. Perfect. Now for the walk over to H.Q.


Setting down after flying up to the H.Q. doors was always something I held against silver. He's not here, so all I can do is pat myself on the back as I walk in. Walking past the guard pony as I flash my badge, and walking over to the archives with the uncomfortable saddle bags. I'm afraid it's going to rub a hole right through my coat.

I sigh once I place them onto the table in the archives. Then pull out the dental records for 'polished shield' and 'organized pages'. Now, to find their files.

It takes me about an hour to find both files. With them carefully in-between my teeth, I take them over to the table and set them down. I sit down then open Mr. Pages file.

First name: organized
Last name: Pages
Occupation: librarian
Mortality: living

"Alright.... Not him." I say, closing the file and placing it on the chair next to me. I slide over the second file and open it up.

First name: polished
Last name: shield
Occupation: Royal guardsman
Mortality: N/A missing since XX14

"Alrighty, looks like we've got an I.D. Just need to compare dental again just to make sure." I speak to myself. I sigh and put the file into my bag. "I need an office in H.Q. I in really do..." I say, speaking to nopony. Just as I reach the door, The secretary mare opens it.

"Ah, Miss Reigns, you have a call." She tells me. I nod, thanking her, then follow her to her desk. I pick up the hoofset and lift it to my ear.

"Hello?" I ask.

"Y-yes, hello? Miss Reigns?" The voice responds.

"Hello Mr. Wires." I say into the hoofset.

"Yes. Hello. I need you back at the lab as soon as possable. I've found something."

"Right away Mr. Wires."

"You can call me Tangled. If It's not to much of a problem." He says

"I'll be at the lab in a bit." I say, then place the hoofset down on the receiver.


I walk into the building my lab is in. RCIS CRIME LABS & TECH SERVICES. So much is done here, if Celestia wanted to, she could make it a whole 'nother department. Which I hope to never happen, because my lab is in here. If she established a new department, I'd have to use a lab in RCIS headquarters. and those ones aren't very good. I've gotten used to the turns in this building, so finding my lab is no problem anymore.

I push through the doors of my lab and look around. Seeing Tangled no where, I walk over to my landline. Just as I pick up the hoofset I hear somepony walk through the doors.

"There you are!" I say, placing the hoofset down.

"Sorry. I was in my lab. Doing the molds you asked for. Anyway..." He tells me, walking over to the counter by the phone. I follow. He takes the box he was balancing on his back and places it on the counter.

"It sucks not being a unicorn or Pegasus, can't do much." He says sadly.

"Your doin' just fine." I tell him "watcha need me to be here for?" I ask.

"AH! That's right! This!" He says, pulling out the spearhead from the box. He then walks over to the table that has the magnifying camera. I follow him, switching on the camera.

"Thanks. Anyway, there there is an engraving on the side of the spearhead. Numbers and letters, to be exact." He tells me, holding the spearhead under the camera enabling me to be able to see what he's talking about.

"Hold on." I tell him "let me grab a pen and paper." I say, running over to my desk, grabbing said items, then running back over. "Okay..."

"T7305-WXPRNCS" he reads off to me. I write it down.

"There is only one place I know that engraves their weapons. Royal guard." Wires tells me. Walking back over to the counter and placing the spearhead back in the box.

"Thanks." I tell him. Yawning. I walk over to my desk and put the paper with the numbers down. "I'll follow that lead in the morning. It's getting pretty late." I say, glancing at the clock. 10:27.

"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow, ma'am." Wires says to me.

"D-dont. Just, don't call me ma'am. I'm not as old as that title portrays." I tell him. Walking out the door, I hear him shout an apology.


Walking past H.Q. I run into Silver walking out. He runs to my side.

"What have you been doing all day?" I ask him. He chuckles nervously.

"Well..... I went to go home.... And realized....'

"Did you friggin lock yourself out?" I butt in.

"Yea........" He responds. I sigh deeply.

"Well.... Come on." I tell him. "Your such a child."

"Thanks, but I'm not a child!" He yells.

"Oh, I have evidence otherwise."


I unlock my apartment door and let Silver In. I follow behind him then shut the door, locking it. By the time I turn around, he's already on my couch. I walk over to him.

"Alright." I tell him, sitting down next to him.

"Hmm?"

"I don't want any screwing around, I just want a quiet ni-mmph!" I'm cut off by the feeling of two lips on mine. Despite my suprise, I don't attempt to break the kiss. Against all odds, I lean into it. But before I can get too into it, Silver breaks it.

I look at him, a dumbfounded expression on my face.

"Guess what?" He says with a smirk on his face. "I didn't really lock myself out." He tells me.

"You sly sonovabitch." I say. I start to get up but he grabs me with his magic and pulls me onto him. Releasing me from his magic, be forces his lips on mine again. My face burning, I push into his assault, closing my eyes.

'This stallion has taken you to dinner, why not play along?' I think to myself.

Not expecting anymore than what's going on, a small, surprised shriek escapes my
throught when I feel him run his tounge along my lips. I part my lips giving him access and he slips his tounge into my mouth. It runs along my teeth and gums then finds my tounge. I lift my tounge up and slide it around his. Running them in circles before I feel my lungs start to burn. I break the kiss, panting for air. I look at Silver and see his breathing is still at normal.

"You got." Breath "one hell of" breath "a pair of lungs." I tell him. Receiving a small laugh in response.

Once I catch my breath, I start the kiss and he gives me access to his mouth, then I feel his hoof running down my stomach towards my legs. I shriek a little then pull back.

"W-what are you doing?" I ask him, even though I know exactly what he's up to.

"Trying to have a little fun." Was his response.

"Be nice." I tell him, then continue the previous kiss.

I'm at his liberty.
