The language of bones
(chapter 7) case: postmortem problems
Previous ChapterSo, my boss is pissed.
"You can't just arrest the princess!!" The director yells. "Your lucky I don't fire your ass! If it wasn't for your work being so good, I would."
"Well, sir." I say, shifting uncomfortably in the director's client chair. "She's a suspect in a murder case. I can't just let her go." I tell him.
"Your fucking have to! She's THE princess for dicks sake!" He yells at me.
"Sir, you should know! Article 7 of the RCIS hoofbook mandates that if there is probobly cause, the suspect must be arrested, regardless of status!" I say, my voice starting to shake. He takes a deep breath, knowing I'm right.
"Just..." Another deep breath "just find a way to clear her. You jail her, your going to be the most hated pony in Equestria."
"I'll do my best, sir."
"So, Princess. Please tell me what I know." Silver said to the princess.
I'm standing in the observation booth for the interrogation room. Silver it's in there, digging his own grave. And mine while he's at it. As much as I hate what's going on, it's my job, and I told the lady in the room I'd do my job. No matter what.
"What do you need to know?" Celestia asks him. Her stare shooting daggers.
"I need to know why your spear was found under the body of a dead Bat-pony." Silver tells her, using his magic to place a bag on the table. Celestia looks at the bag to see her spearhead. "Now, I'm hoping, it was just stolen by a guard with a grudge. But I'm pretty sure that's not it."
Celestia sighs. "Your correct, there is more to the story. I was hoping to keep it out from the view of the public." She says, lowering her head.
"Well, spill it. Your not going anywhere till we can nail somepony." Silver says. I flinch in the booth, he's talking to her really harshly.
With a deep breath, Celestia starts to talk. "One of my guards. Sharpened Sword his name. He came up to me one day. Looking for something for his son to write a school report on. I told him I have just the thing. Whent and got this." She tells Silver, using a golden hoof to gesture towards the bag on the table. "Next thing I know. That guard stops coming to work, and this is missing." She puts her forehooves on her head.
"Anything else?" Silver asks.
"Oh, if I knew he would use it to avenge a vandetta, I would never have given it to him." She starts to whisper, and I can see tears well in her eyes. "Am I am accessory now?" She asks Silver.
"No, Princess. Your free to go. Reigns can escort you out. I'm sorry for dragging you into this." He says, turning around and walking out. Leaving the door open for her to walk out.
He walks into the booth and starts to talk to me.
"I'll go and see what I can find on Mr. Sword. Escort her out, please?" He asks me. I nod and walk out. I go to the room.
"Hi, Celestia. Umm, I'll help.. you out." I tell her, awkwardly.
She stands up and wipes her face.
"Thank you, Doctor Reigns." She says. She used my formal title, and i let it go. She's in to much of a distressed state.
"This way, please." I say, using my hoof and pointing out.
Silver looks at the paper he managed to scrounge up. Looks like Mr. sword whent and got himself a new job. He gestures to the other agents, telling them this is where he is. And they walk into the ironsmiths.
"RCIS! I'M LOOKING FOR SHARPENED SWORD!" Silver yells once he walks in.
"I'm Sharpened Sword. What you need?" He asks.
"Sharpened Sword. Your under arrest for the murder of Polished Shield." Silver tells him. Two other agents go behind him and grab him.
"Time to go."
"Knock knock!" Silver shouts at my office door.
"Come in!" I yell and he walks in.
"Guess what." He tells me, walking over to my desk.
"What?" I ask him.
"We caught the bastard who did this." He says. I jump into the air and tackle him.
"Good job mister!" I say and look down on him. His face turning a deep red.
"Oh, sorry!" I shout, my face turning a red.
"Well, Missy." He says once I'm off him and he's sat up. "You never answered my question."
"What's that question?" I ask him, walking back over to my desk.
"You wanna be my marefriend?" He asks me. I feel my face turn red and I walk over to my window. I look out the window to hide my blush.
"Andreah?" He says and I turn too look at him.
"Yes?" I ask him.
"Answer my question please."
"Yes." I say.
"Really?" He asks, happily skipping over to me.
"Really." I say. Then I feel lips on mine. Taken aback I squeek. He pulls back from the kiss laughing.
"Did I scare you?" He asks.
"Shut up." I tell him. I gently put my hoof on his face and pull him into another kiss. But before we could get to into it I hear a knock at the door. I pull back and trot over to the door and open it. It's the director.
"Reigns!" He says. "I've got another case for you!"
