Saving Silver Colt

"they'll kill him." Vanilla smirked at me. Her words hit me hard. "You try anything. Do anything. They'll kill him."

"Your lying." Mr. Twitch, our deception expert, says.

"What makes you say that? I'm not lying." Vanilla retorts.

Twitch nods. "That you believe. You really think they'll kill him?" He asks, writing it down with his magic.

I'm playing bad cop. I'm supposed to just stand here and stare at her. I'm doing my best not to start saying anything.

"Of course they'll kill him." She repeats.

"Where are they? Where's their base?" I say, ignoring the fact I'm supposed to stay silent. Twitch sends an angry glance at me.

"Like I'm going to tell you." She snorts.

I take a step closer. "We've already got you on foalnapping a Royal agent, assault, battery, possession of an illegal drug. You want to have that stacked on with impeading a Royal investigation, and another foalnapping of a royal agent charge?"

She takes a Shakey breath in. "You'll never make it in. You couldn't navigate, you couldn't even see. They have a spell cast by a unicorn only allowing those in our group to be able to see."

"Just tell us where it is, and we'll take care of the rest." I growl, and her eyes grow wider.

"I-its... It's in the Everfree. Castle of the two sisters dungeon." She puts her front elbows on the interrogation room table, and puts her face in her Hooves. I barely make out her biting the bottom of her hoof, then swollow.

"What did you just swollow!?" I yell, then run over to her, grab the back of her mane and pull her head back. She looks up at me with a sad smile.

"I'm sorry." She says, her pupils dialate and she starts hyperventilating.

"Dammit!!! Medical!!! Get In here!!" I yell, and a mare and stallion, both with red crosses on thier flanks run in.

"Flush her system ASAP!!" Twitch yells and they run over.

"Please exit the room." The mare says, and we leave.

Ten minutes later the medical ponies walk out.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Reigns. She didn't make it. Cyanide..."

"Dammit!!!" I yell. Then stomp away to my office.

I sit spinning in my chair. I'd just got off the phone with the chief. He's getting Celestia to come to my office.

Knock

Knock

Knock

"Come in!" I shout, spinning to look at the door. In walks a white alicorn, rainbow hair flowing in an imaginary wind.

"Princess!" I shout, about to hop off my chair to bow.

"Please.... Don't bow." She says, putting a hoof out in protest. "You called for me?" She puts her hoof down and cocks her head sideways. I nod.

"I need the layout of your castle in the woods' dungeon." I say. She furrowed her brow dumbfoundedly.

"Well... I haven't been there in quite some time. So come with me." She swings a hoof towards the door, gesturing me to follow.

The Royal archives is someplace I've been once before. With.... S-silv...

"Just this way." The princess yells me over her shoulder.

A few more minutes of walking. The whole time I'm stuck starting at the Princess's regal flanks.

N-not that that's a bad thing. They're nice flanks.

N-no! Im not attracted to the damn Princess. ~~Though with as long as she's been alive, I bet she's a good kisser~~

"Andreah!" Celestia shouts, waking me from my trance. I turn around and she's sitting at a round table, file open in front of her. "Was there something intriguing about the wall?" She asks, stifling a laugh with a hoof. I blow a professional and respectful raspberry, then walk over and sit next to her.

"This it?" I ask, moving it closer with my hoof.

"The dungeon is separate from the castle itself. So you're not going to the castle. We placed the dungeon here." She says, putting her hoof a few inches away from where the castle is. "On this map's scale, this would be about half a mile away."

"Why did you place it so far away from the castle? Aren't they supposed to be under the castle?" I ask, looking at her.

"Realistically, yes. But I didn't want evil ponies staying so close to where my sister and I slept." She tells me. That doesn't make sense. I don't ask her to elaborate.

"Why do you need access to this?" She asks, breaking me from my thinking.

"Well..." How can I put this? "Some points kidnapped S-" I choke. "M-my old partner. And they're using the old dungeon to hold him and do sexual experiments with him and themselves." I tell her, cringing, waiting for a horrible reaction.

"Oh." Was all that came out of her muzzle.

"Well.... I'm gonna go now..." I say, rolling up the map and putting it into a saddle bag.

I turn and start to walk away when something hits my hippocampus.

"Celestia!" I almost shout, whipping around. She's still sitting there, what I told her still processing.

"Princess?" I ask, walking over. I poke her on her muzzle.

"Yes?" She responds, as if nothing is wrong.

"Before vanilla... Killed herself, she mentioned that the unicorns in her 'cult' use magic to blind those not in the 'cult'. Do you know of anything that could do, or reverse that?'" She shakes her beautiful head.

"That's going to be something to ask luna. I know nothing about that."

"Thanks again princess!" I say, then turn around and trot away and out.

----------------.

"Princess Luna!" I shout, walking into the throne room (hallway).

"Dr. Reigns!" She shouts back from on the throne. I trot up to her.

"Before Vanilla decided to clock out, she mentioned something about magic that blinds others, but let's others see." I say. She knew it was more of a question then a statement.

"I have run across such magic before." She says, stepping down elegantly. ~~She's prettier than Celestia! And se-~~

"Follow me." Luna tells me. I decide I need to stop staring at princesses.
