Police Of Ponyville Episode 8: The New Recruitby Shadow Storm 44ChaptersWelcome To The FamilyLet's Find Some CluesUnlikely PairsA Short PursuitWelcome To The Family“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” Comet asked Clover. “I can’t believe this is happening.” On the left side of the room, there was the newest recruit to the Ponyville Police Force. A Griffin. He was all black from neck to his ankles. His claws were almost gold like. He also had Blue eyes just like the sea. Ever since the day the friendship school opened Ponyville has seen many other species were passing by Ponyville more often. Even if they weren’t any trouble there was always a few who are stuck in the past. “I think it’s pretty great,” Clover said. “It’s about time that we added someone else besides a pony. I think were the first ever in all of Equestria to have a griffin for an officer maybe even as an employer." Storm, Star and a few others were around the griffin talking. A few times the group would laugh like they heard a joke. Even if they just meet a few minutes ago they were acting like old friends. Like clockwork, chief Night came into the room and started Morning Briefing. She introduces the griffin whose name was Phantom. He was going to be partnered with Storm for today. Star is going to be with Comet while Clover riding solo for the day. “Hey Comet it’s me and you today,” Star said when the briefing was over. “This is going to be great.” “Wear your vest.” Storm requested. “It’s going to save your life trust me. If I didn’t have it that one time I would not be alive.” “You would have survived.” Star rolled his eyes. “You would have just been knocked out for a few weeks.” “Great,” Comet said unamused. “I’ll be right back.” “Hey, Clover are you sure your ok?” Storm asked once Comet left the room. “I can’t stand to be at a desk all day.” Clover shakes her head. “Oh no. I got a lot to do here anyway. You have fun.” “Thanks.” “You got some neat friends there,” Phantom said once they had started patrol. “I bet it makes work easier to have a team together.” “It does.” Storm answered. “Besides them, there is always something going on in this town.” “Like what?” Phantom asked. “There has been so many, that I can’t really think of any right now. But, if you play your cards right maybe you could have a story of your own.” “Yeah, your right.” Phantom pushed before speaking again. “I’m sorry if I come off as annoying Storm. It’s just… A new town, new job, and zero friends on top of that I’m a griffin.” “Don’t worry.” Storm said waving his hoof. “I know that this seems like a lot but it’s really not. Give it two days and you’ll have like four friends that’s what happened to me.” Phantom raised an eyebrow. “How did that happened?” Storm chuckled. “Now that’s a story I can tell you. Ok, so this all started on the first day I was sitting on a cloud watching for anyone going over the limit for speeding…” Before Storm could continue his radio came to life. Squad 5, We have a possible 10-16 at the Eastern windmills. House number 229 Proceed with caution. “10-4, on the way.” Storm said into the radio. “By the way get used to this radio Interrupting you both on and off a break.” Storm and Phantom flew to the house to see what was going on. Two minutes later the house was in sight. The house looked like it hasn't been used in months. The lawns grass was tall and uncut, the windows were broken and the roof looks like it could cave in at any moment. Once they landed it looked even worse. There were many cracks in the ground near the house along with many holes in the lawn and the roof tiles could all fall if the wind picks up. “Is this the right house?” Phantom asked looking around. “229.” Storm pointed to the numbers near the front door. “This is the place.” “It looks like nobody's been here in months or years,” Phantom said walking to the front door. “A really hope this isn’t a prank,” Strom said walking behind Phantom. “It’s too early for this.” “I don’t think this is a prank,” Phantom said a bit of fear in his voice. Storm moved around Phantom and saw a foreleg sticking out from behind a couch that was tipped over. On the foreleg, there appears to be blood. A lot of it. Strom quickly and cautiously ran into the house with Phantom behind him. The body was covered in blood along with it being spread out near the back door of the house. Storm placed his hoof on the neck to see if he was still alive. It was a weak pulse but he or she is still alive. “Is he alive?” Phantom asked scanning the room. “Barely.” Storm then grabbed his radio. Dispatch this is Squad 5, We need a Medical Carriage at Eastern Windmills at house 229. 1 male is in critical condition. Suddenly there was a loud bang from upstairs. It catches both Storm and Phantoms attraction. We're gonna need some back up too. “Ok, here’s the plan. I’ll go check this out. I want you to look around the house and help me get the jump on anyone this hiding up there. Got it?” “10-4.” Phantom ran out the house and Strom slowly walked up the stairs. He stuck closely to the wall so no one can get the drop on him. Once he reached the top the second floor was a straight hallway with four rooms two rooms on each side and ahead was a window. Storm checked the rooms one by one there was nothing in the rooms besides a bed and a broken windows. When Storm was about to check the room on the upper right side. There was the sound of a window breaking from the other side. Fearing the perpetrator would get away, Storm broke down the door. Inside was two filly pegasus just beside the window. Glass was everywhere on the floor. “Are you two OK?” Storm asked. “Nos va a conseguir.” They repeated. “Nos va a conseguir.” “What?” “I think they’re speaking Spanish.” A voice said behind him. “Holy.” Storm nearly shouted. He turned around and saw Phantom. “Phantom you scared the crap out of me.” “Sorry. I kind of have a bad habit of snacking up on everyone.” Strom sighed and turned around to face the fillies. They were holding each other and shaking say the same thing over and over again. “Nos va a conseguir.” Let's Find Some CluesA few moments later Star, Comet, Clover and a few more officers arrived at the house along with a couple of hospital wagons. The wounded stallion was taken to the hospital along with the twin fillies. “Ok,” Comet said once the gang was all together. “What the heck happened here?” “No idea.” Storm answered. “Me and Phantom were here for a Domestic. When we got here the door was already gone and we saw a trail of blood we searched the house and we find those twins.” “I know it’s a little early for this,” Star said. “But, I feel like this was something more than a domestic.” “I’m with you Star.” Clover jumped in. “This house wasn’t really the easiest place to find. I had to ask a pegasus to lead us here.” “We should look over that house.” Star requested. “Way ahead of you,” Phantom said. “While you guys were out here I took quick around and saw a receipt from a place called sugar cube corner and there were two huge tubes of acid in the bathroom.” “Well, that should be nice maybe we could go down…” Storm suddenly stop. “Wait acid?” “Yeah. That’s what I said.” “What the hell is acid doing in there?” Clover asked. “I don’t know but it couldn’t be good.” “Alright let’s split up.” Storm ordered. “I’m going to check around a little more and then head to town hall to see what this place is. Comet, I want you to go to the train station and see if you can track down who brought that stuff here. Clover go to the hospital. Clover, try and question the twins and Star see if you can get an ID on that stallion. If he’s still alive. Phantom go to sugarcube corner and see if you can find out who bought that stuff.” Everyone nodded and spilled up to their destinations. “A windmill station?” Storm said looking at the paper that was given to him. “What the heck is that.” “It’s somewhat like a fire station for windmills.” The mare said at the front desk. “When Ponyville first started using windmills they would always break pretty much every other day.” “And they had this for each area of Ponyville?” “No. They only had it in the North. Everywhere else was either too close to town or there wasn’t enough space.” “I have one more question.” Storm said looking over the small paper. “What happened? Why did it close.” The mare waited a moment before answering. “I’m honestly not too sure.” She said. “Some say it was because a bunch of workers are getting paid for doing nothing all day and when something broke, they didn’t know what to do.” “Ok thanks.” Storm said before leaving the building. Comet. “I’m sorry officer.” The head coordinator of the Ponyville train station said. “But we haven’t had any shipments come in for a few days now.” “Not from anywhere?” Comet asked. “No. We normally get one large shipment every week but this shipment is late.” “What’s the normal shipment come with?” “Basic stuff. Wood, Paint and sometimes mail if the post office is to busy.” “Great a dead end.” Comet through. Phantom “He was almost about my height and bit better build than me,” Mr.Cake said. “Did he have any scars or marks of any kind?” “Not really.” “Ok. So let me get this straight.” Phantom said he flipped through his small notepad. “Two pegasuses one blue the other red came in here this morning along with two young foals. The foals didn’t talk and the red pegasus acted as a lookout for them. “That’s correct,” Mr.Cake confirmed. “Normally I don’t like to think or say something about someone till I meet them. But those two seemed like pretty bad stallions. Is there something going on?” “It’s nothing to worry about,” Phantom assured. “We just want to ask them a few questions.” Back At The Station “Alright.” Night called out once her “Special Task Force” had all arrived in the small room. “So I heard that we had a problem near the Northeastern. Does anyone want to get me up to speed or do I have to guess?” “I’ll start.” Storm said. “Me and Phantom respond to a domestic at a house in the Northeastern windmills. We arrived at a house that looked to be foreclosed. We walked to the front door and found what we now believe to be a male covered in blood. I searched the inside of the house while Phantom searched the outside. In the top floor, I found two young fillies both unharmed.” “Did you fill out a report?” Night asked once Storm had finished. “If I did then you wouldn’t have asked me to explain.” “That’s right.” Night smiled. “Now, you we have any leads?” “It’s hard to say we all just got back,” Star answered. “You called us in here the second everyone got here.” “Well now is as good a time as any,” Comet said. “I went down to both the train station and the post office. Neither one of them had any shipments come in for days on end so it couldn’t have been either one of them. The only way it could have came in is by hoof.” “Alright.” Night acknowledged. “Well, what about the twins were they harmed?” “No, they were fine,” Clover answered. “They just saying “Nos va a conseguir” oven and over again.” “What does that mean?” Phantom asked. “It will get us”. I tried talking to them but they just kept repeating that.” “Alright, so still nothing.” Night sighed. “Well, new blood where were you?” “I was following the lead of a recipe at the location,” Phantom answered. “Are you gonna sit here and make me guess?” “Well,” Phantom said pulling out a notepad. “Mr.Cake said that two stallions entered his shop this morning around 7:35 am. Both were pegasus one blue the other red both likely to be in there late 20s or early 30s. Mr.Cake didn’t see their cutie marks. He did say they seemed to be in a hurry.” “Ok, so that’s what 45 minutes after we got that call?” Storm asked. “Sounds about right.” “Nice, Nice.” Night said. “So we're making progress. What about the victim?” “I can answer that,” Star said raising his hoof like a child. “He name was Titan.” “How do you know that?” Night asked. “Because he’s wanted in Cloudsdale for Stalking, Second-degree murder, and the most recent one Kidnapping. Here’s his file.” Star levitated a file to Night. Night open it and scan thought. “Yup.” She finally said. “The kidnapping charge was filed almost a week ago. This is our vic.” “So what about the Red stallion?” Phantom asked. “You think that he did it?” “Maybe,” Comet said. “You did say you didn’t see anyone outside the house.” “New plan.” Night said. “Storm, Comet I want you two to make a quick trip to Cloudsdale. Give them the message that we found the foals and one of the kidnappers. Clover, go back to the hospital and see if the girls are able to talk stay there till Cloudsdale officers and their parents arrive. Phantom tag along with Clover. Star stay here and see if you can find a record of a red pegasus stallion in Ponyville or Cloudsdale.” “Got it,” Comet said getting up. “Come on Storm let’s fly.” Unlikely PairsSTORM AND COMET “You found them?” A light yellow pegasus with white mane asked. “You really found them.” “Ms, please calm down,” Comet said from the other room. “My partner is talking to the other investigators right now.” “Are these the filly you found?” A Cloudsdale detective asked showing Storm a picture. “That’s them.” Storm confirmed. “How long have they been missing?” “Almost a week.” He said. “Everyone came together to find them. Do you have any information on the pegasus who took them?” “Kind of.” Storm answered. “I’m pretty sure you might know the name, Titan.” “Oh, yea.” He said rolling his eyes. “That guy has been a problem here for years. When he left we throw a party. That was short lived when we could find those files.” “Did you find anything on the red stallion?” Storm asked. “No.” He said, “We're still looking.” The detective walked over to his desk. On his desk he had a nameplate White Thunder was on it. “In the meantime, I’m putting together a small team so that we can help you find him. If he was a pegasus them it’s a good chance that he came from here.” “Right.” Storm agreed. “Besides, we would have found there I’D long ago if they were in Ponyville.” Right after Storm finished he suddenly got a pain sliding headache out of nowhere. This could be one of two things. He had gotten a headache out of nowhere or Star was trying to contact him. This was something Star always did when he needed to get a hold of Storm. He started using this for when they had to split up or Star had a strange question for Storm. “STORM I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU. ARE YOU STILL AT CLOUDSDALE?” “Yeah, can you please calm down you give me a killer headache every time you do this spell.” “Sorry. Look I found out who that red pegasus was. His name is Crimson. It said that he was born in Cloudsdale and then he moved into Ponyville for work.” “OK. What kind of work?” Storm acknowledged. “Because you said that the windmill station closed down years ago. Plus, it was really well hidden from the rest of town. The only ponies who would know about this are ponies who are lived around the windmill station or the workers.” “Shit.” Storm whispered to himself. “He used to work there didn’t he?” “Yup.” “Alright, get some backup and go back to the windmill station. Tear that place apart. Flip the couch, take down the walls, rip off the floorboards. If you find the slightest thing that wasn’t there when we were there keep it for evidence.” “Don’t we need a warrant to open to do that?” Star asked. “When has that ever stopped us?” “You got a point. Star out.” “Storm?” Lighting asked. “Are you ok.” “I’m fine. I need to tell you something.” Storm then told Lighting about everything that they found when he first went into the windmill station. From the acid to the name of the red pegasus. “Crimson.” Lighting whispered. “That is one sick bastard.” “So you’ve dealt with him before?” Storm asked. “Oh yeah.” Lighting said nodding. “We got him for a number of other things he was a total psychopath. When we found out he left town it was like a gift from the gods themselves.” “That bad huh?” “Very. The only reason he left was that he got ran out of town by us.” Lighting sighed and looked at a picture on his desk. “By the way. Where are those twins?” “There at the hospital. We wanted to give them a full checkup before we transported them here.” “Is somebody watching them?” He asked a bit uneasy. “Crimson could come back for them. He’s pretty much the definition of a red flag.” “Don’t worry Thunder.” Storm reassured. “The filly are in good hoofs.” And claws. “Thunder.” A pegasus barged in. “There’s something going on at Ponyville Hospital.” “Alright.” Thunder got up from his desk. “Let’s get over there." AT THE HOSPITAL Ponyville hospital was like any other hospital. It was bigger than other small town hospitals should be and it had a low number of nurses. If that wasn’t strange enough the hospital was located near the northwest border of town. Which was pretty far from town and in case someone had an emergency. Phantom was on guard duty. He waited outside the door of the room where the two fillies were. Clover was inside with him. Phantom was in the room as well at one point. He soon left and waited outside. They all were talking in Spanish. Phantom hated listening to another language he didn’t understand. It always gave him a headache. “How are the girls?” Phantom asked when Clover came out of their room. She kept the door open with a back hoof. “They're fine,” Clover replied. “They really wanted to see their Mom and Dad.” “I would to if I was taken away from my town brought to another town thinking I was about to die.” “You're a ray of sunshine you know that?” Clover smiled. “I’ve been told.” Phantom returned the smile. “Any word from others? It’s been awhile.” Clover shakes her head. “I haven’t heard anything from Comet or Storm but I bet they’ll be here soon. Star, on the other hand, I have no idea.” “Nothing much. I either get looked at or I’m just ignored.” “At least you don’t have to play I spy in a hospital room with two young fillies. Let me know if anything comes up.” “You got it.” Clover smiled and when back into the room. Phantom sighed as he continued on lookout duty. As much as he tried, however, he couldn’t get his mind off Clover. She was the only one who seemed to welcome him into town. There’s a good chance that her other friends were friendly as well. He just didn’t have enough time to meet with them. Suddenly a loud crash followed by screams came from the room. Without thinking Phantom charged in the room. Inside there was glass everywhere along with a huge brick in the middle of the room. Outside the window was a red pegasus flying right in front of the window outside. When he saw Phantom he turned flew away. “Clover!” Phantom shouted. He walked through the small corridor in the room and saw Clover in a corner of the room holding the two fillies, using her body as a shield. “I’m fine.” She said getting up. “Go after him I’ll call it in.” “Right!” Phantom said jumping out the window and started to chase the pegasus. A Short PursuitSTORM, COMET AND CLOUDSDALE TEAM ALL UNITS, THIS IS OFFICER CLOVER, OFFICER PHANTOM IS IN AIR PURSUIT OF THE SUSPECT FROM THIS MORNING CRIME SCENE. THE SUSPECT IS A RED MAYBE CRIMSON PEGASUS WITH A BLACK MANE STALLION UNKNOWN CUTIE MARK. LAST SEEN HEADING SOUTH INTO TOWN. “Ok, we're going to split up,” Strom said. “Comet you take the two Cloudsdale officers to the hospital and make sure that Clover and the fillies are unharmed and in case this nutjob isn’t working alone or if he tries to do it again. Thunder, you and me are gonna go and help catch this guy. You in?” “If this means we're gonna finally lock this psyho up I’m down.” “Alright. Let’s go.” With that, the group split up. Storm and Thunder went into town while Comet and the other pegasus went to the hospital. “Hey, Storm,” Thunder asked while they were flying at full speed into town. “This officer in pursuit of Crimson you think he could handle him by himself in case this turns into a fight?” “Yeah. He’ll be just fine.” THIS IS OFFICER PHANTOM, SUSPECT HAS LANDED IN THE SHOPPING DISTRICT AND IS THROWING FOOD AT OFFICERS AND CIVILIANS. “That doesn’t sound too good.” Thunder said when he heard Storm’s radio. “Don’t worry. We’ve dealt with worst.” When the two pegasuses arrived at the location. Phantom was there alone with three unicorn officers one of them being Star. They all had shield spells cast, protecting themselves and the civilians near. Storm and Thunder landed just beside Phantom. “So what’s going on?” Storm asked. “This guy is a psychopath,” Star answered. “He throws the apples with some serious heat.” “We need a plan,” Phantom said behind one of the shields. “Well, we can rush him.” Thunder suggested. “I’m down,” Star answered. “I’ll take lead. This is a great idea.” “That was a bad idea.” Storm grunted. The team was back at the station recovering from the fight they had with Crimson. While they were successful in grabbing Crimson. Storm had an unforgettable meeting with a coconut that hit him straight in the head. “Here put this on your head,” Star said placing an ice pack on his head. “I can’t believe that nut job slammed a coconut on your head.” “Tell me about it.” Storm grunted. “That dude really didn’t want to go to jail.” “Don’t worry about it.” Thunder said. “For what I have seen he’ll be charged with battery against a police officer, Evading police and Resisting arrest.” “What about the kidnapping and the body?” Phantom pointed out. “Will he be charged for those too?” “Well, I can’t say for sure.” Thunder said rubbing his chin. “The body maybe, but we can’t prove that he kidnapped the fillies. For all, we know his accomplice could have done it for all we know. Guess I’ll leave that up to you guys.” “We’ll handle it.” Storm assured. “I guess I’ll be heading back to Cloudsdale now. Me and the family they could use the rest.” Thunder walked over to Storm and outstretched his hoof. “I can’t thank you enough Storm you and your team. If you need anything just let me know.” “No problem.” Storm smiled shaking Thunders hoof. “We got to work together to make sure that everyone is safe.” “Of Course.” Thunder soon left Ponyville along with the other officers and the fillies. Soon after that Comet and Clover arrived at the station. “Well,” Clover said when they arrived. “I think it’s safe to say that you had a crazy first day on the job right?” “Yeah.” Phantom agreed. “Stuff like this is what we do right?” “Of course.” NIght said with a smile. “By the way there still 2 hours left before shift change. So back to work.” Everyone groaned. “Shut up.”
Welcome To The Family“Are you seeing what I’m seeing?” Comet asked Clover. “I can’t believe this is happening.” On the left side of the room, there was the newest recruit to the Ponyville Police Force.

Give it two days and you’ll have like four friends that’s what happened to me.” Phantom raised an eyebrow. “How did that happened?” Storm chuckled. “Now that’s a story I can tell you. Ok, so this all started on the first day I was sitting on a cloud watching for anyone going over the limit for speeding…” Before Storm could continue his radio came to life.

I had to ask a pegasus to lead us here.” “We should look over that house.” Star requested. “Way ahead of you,” Phantom said. “While you guys were out here I took quick around and saw a receipt from a place called sugar cube corner and there were two huge tubes of acid in the bathroom.” “Well, that should be nice maybe we could go down…” Storm suddenly stop. “Wait acid?” “Yeah. That’s what I said.” “What the hell is acid doing in there?” Clover asked. “I don’t know but it couldn’t be good.” “Alright let’s split up.” Storm ordered. “I’m going to check around a little more and then head to town hall to see what this place is.

In the top floor, I found two young fillies both unharmed.” “Did you fill out a report?” Night asked once Storm had finished. “If I did then you wouldn’t have asked me to explain.” “That’s right.” Night smiled. “Now, you we have any leads?” “It’s hard to say we all just got back,” Star answered. “You called us in here the second everyone got here.” “Well now is as good a time as any,” Comet said. “I went down to both the train station and the post office. Neither one of them had any shipments come in for days on end so it couldn’t have been either one of them. The only way it could have came in is by hoof.” “Alright.” Night acknowledged. “Well, what about the twins were they harmed?” “No, they were fine,” Clover answered. “They just saying “Nos va a conseguir” oven and over again.” “What does that mean?” Phantom asked. “It will get us”. I tried talking to them but they just kept repeating that.” “Alright, so still nothing.” Night sighed. “Well, new blood where were you?” “I was following the lead of a recipe at the location,” Phantom answered. “Are you gonna sit here and make me guess?” “Well,” Phantom said pulling out a notepad. “Mr.Cake said that two stallions entered his shop this morning around 7:35 am. Both were pegasus one blue the other red both likely to be in there late 20s or early 30s. Mr.Cake didn’t see their cutie marks. He did say they seemed to be in a hurry.” “Ok, so that’s what 45 minutes after we got that call?” Storm asked. “Sounds about right.” “Nice, Nice.” Night said. “So we're making progress. What about the victim?” “I can answer that,” Star said raising his hoof like a child. “He name was Titan.” “How do you know that?” Night asked. “Because he’s wanted in Cloudsdale for Stalking, Second-degree murder, and the most recent one Kidnapping. Here’s his file.” Star levitated a file to Night. Night open it and scan thought. “Yup.” She finally said. “The kidnapping charge was filed almost a week ago. This is our vic.” “So what about the Red stallion?” Phantom asked. “You think that he did it?” “Maybe,” Comet said. “You did say you didn’t see anyone outside the house.” “New plan.” Night said. “Storm, Comet I want you two to make a quick trip to Cloudsdale. Give them the message that we found the foals and one of the kidnappers. Clover, go back to the hospital and see if the girls are able to talk stay there till Cloudsdale officers and their parents arrive. Phantom tag along with Clover. Star stay here and see if you can find a record of a red pegasus stallion in Ponyville or Cloudsdale.” “Got it,” Comet said getting up. “Come on Storm let’s fly.”
Unlikely PairsSTORM AND COMET “You found them?” A light yellow pegasus with white mane asked. “You really found them.” “Ms, please calm down,” Comet said from the other room. “My partner is talking to the other investigators right now.” “Are these the filly you found?” A Cloudsdale detective asked showing Storm a picture. “That’s them.” Storm confirmed. “How long have they been missing?” “Almost a week.” He said. “Everyone came together to find them. Do you have any information on the pegasus who took them?” “Kind of.” Storm answered. “I’m pretty sure you might know the name, Titan.” “Oh, yea.” He said rolling his eyes. “That guy has been a problem here for years. When he left we throw a party. That was short lived when we could find those files.” “Did you find anything on the red stallion?” Storm asked. “No.” He said, “We're still looking.” The detective walked over to his desk. On his desk he had a nameplate White Thunder was on it. “In the meantime, I’m putting together a small team so that we can help you find him. If he was a pegasus them it’s a good chance that he came from here.” “Right.” Storm agreed. “Besides, we would have found there I’D long ago if they were in Ponyville.” Right after Storm finished he suddenly got a pain sliding headache out of nowhere. This could be one of two things. He had gotten a headache out of nowhere or Star was trying to contact him. This was something Star always did when he needed to get a hold of Storm. He started using this for when they had to split up or Star had a strange question for Storm. “STORM I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU. ARE YOU STILL AT CLOUDSDALE?” “Yeah, can you please calm down you give me a killer headache every time you do this spell.” “Sorry. Look I found out who that red pegasus was. His name is Crimson. It said that he was born in Cloudsdale and then he moved into Ponyville for work.” “OK. What kind of work?” Storm acknowledged. “Because you said that the windmill station closed down years ago. Plus, it was really well hidden from the rest of town. The only ponies who would know about this are ponies who are lived around the windmill station or the workers.” “Shit.” Storm whispered to himself. “He used to work there didn’t he?” “Yup.” “Alright, get some backup and go back to the windmill station. Tear that place apart. Flip the couch, take down the walls, rip off the floorboards. If you find the slightest thing that wasn’t there when we were there keep it for evidence.” “Don’t we need a warrant to open to do that?” Star asked. “When has that ever stopped us?” “You got a point. Star out.” “Storm?” Lighting asked. “Are you ok.” “I’m fine. I need to tell you something.” Storm then told Lighting about everything that they found when he first went into the windmill station. From the acid to the name of the red pegasus. “Crimson.” Lighting whispered. “That is one sick bastard.” “So you’ve dealt with him before?” Storm asked. “Oh yeah.” Lighting said nodding. “We got him for a number of other things he was a total psychopath. When we found out he left town it was like a gift from the gods themselves.” “That bad huh?” “Very. The only reason he left was that he got ran out of town by us.” Lighting sighed and looked at a picture on his desk. “By the way. Where are those twins?” “There at the hospital. We wanted to give them a full checkup before we transported them here.” “Is somebody watching them?” He asked a bit uneasy. “Crimson could come back for them. He’s pretty much the definition of a red flag.” “Don’t worry Thunder.” Storm reassured. “The filly are in good hoofs.” And claws. “Thunder.” A pegasus barged in. “There’s something going on at Ponyville Hospital.” “Alright.” Thunder got up from his desk. “Let’s get over there." AT THE HOSPITAL Ponyville hospital was like any other hospital. It was bigger than other small town hospitals should be and it had a low number of nurses. If that wasn’t strange enough the hospital was located near the northwest border of town. Which was pretty far from town and in case someone had an emergency. Phantom was on guard duty. He waited outside the door of the room where the two fillies were. Clover was inside with him. Phantom was in the room as well at one point. He soon left and waited outside. They all were talking in Spanish. Phantom hated listening to another language he didn’t understand. It always gave him a headache. “How are the girls?” Phantom asked when Clover came out of their room. She kept the door open with a back hoof. “They're fine,” Clover replied. “They really wanted to see their Mom and Dad.” “I would to if I was taken away from my town brought to another town thinking I was about to die.” “You're a ray of sunshine you know that?” Clover smiled. “I’ve been told.” Phantom returned the smile. “Any word from others? It’s been awhile.” Clover shakes her head. “I haven’t heard anything from Comet or Storm but I bet they’ll be here soon. Star, on the other hand, I have no idea.” “Nothing much. I either get looked at or I’m just ignored.” “At least you don’t have to play I spy in a hospital room with two young fillies. Let me know if anything comes up.” “You got it.” Clover smiled and when back into the room. Phantom sighed as he continued on lookout duty. As much as he tried, however, he couldn’t get his mind off Clover. She was the only one who seemed to welcome him into town. There’s a good chance that her other friends were friendly as well. He just didn’t have enough time to meet with them. Suddenly a loud crash followed by screams came from the room. Without thinking Phantom charged in the room. Inside there was glass everywhere along with a huge brick in the middle of the room. Outside the window was a red pegasus flying right in front of the window outside. When he saw Phantom he turned flew away. “Clover!” Phantom shouted. He walked through the small corridor in the room and saw Clover in a corner of the room holding the two fillies, using her body as a shield. “I’m fine.” She said getting up. “Go after him I’ll call it in.” “Right!” Phantom said jumping out the window and started to chase the pegasus.
A Short PursuitSTORM, COMET AND CLOUDSDALE TEAM ALL UNITS, THIS IS OFFICER CLOVER, OFFICER PHANTOM IS IN AIR PURSUIT OF THE SUSPECT FROM THIS MORNING CRIME SCENE. THE SUSPECT IS A RED MAYBE CRIMSON PEGASUS WITH A BLACK MANE STALLION UNKNOWN CUTIE MARK. LAST SEEN HEADING SOUTH INTO TOWN. “Ok, we're going to split up,” Strom said. “Comet you take the two Cloudsdale officers to the hospital and make sure that Clover and the fillies are unharmed and in case this nutjob isn’t working alone or if he tries to do it again. Thunder, you and me are gonna go and help catch this guy. You in?” “If this means we're gonna finally lock this psyho up I’m down.” “Alright. Let’s go.” With that, the group split up. Storm and Thunder went into town while Comet and the other pegasus went to the hospital. “Hey, Storm,” Thunder asked while they were flying at full speed into town. “This officer in pursuit of Crimson you think he could handle him by himself in case this turns into a fight?” “Yeah. He’ll be just fine.” THIS IS OFFICER PHANTOM, SUSPECT HAS LANDED IN THE SHOPPING DISTRICT AND IS THROWING FOOD AT OFFICERS AND CIVILIANS. “That doesn’t sound too good.” Thunder said when he heard Storm’s radio. “Don’t worry. We’ve dealt with worst.” When the two pegasuses arrived at the location. Phantom was there alone with three unicorn officers one of them being Star. They all had shield spells cast, protecting themselves and the civilians near. Storm and Thunder landed just beside Phantom. “So what’s going on?” Storm asked. “This guy is a psychopath,” Star answered. “He throws the apples with some serious heat.” “We need a plan,” Phantom said behind one of the shields. “Well, we can rush him.” Thunder suggested. “I’m down,” Star answered. “I’ll take lead. This is a great idea.” “That was a bad idea.” Storm grunted. The team was back at the station recovering from the fight they had with Crimson. While they were successful in grabbing Crimson. Storm had an unforgettable meeting with a coconut that hit him straight in the head. “Here put this on your head,” Star said placing an ice pack on his head. “I can’t believe that nut job slammed a coconut on your head.” “Tell me about it.” Storm grunted. “That dude really didn’t want to go to jail.” “Don’t worry about it.” Thunder said. “For what I have seen he’ll be charged with battery against a police officer, Evading police and Resisting arrest.” “What about the kidnapping and the body?” Phantom pointed out. “Will he be charged for those too?” “Well, I can’t say for sure.” Thunder said rubbing his chin. “The body maybe, but we can’t prove that he kidnapped the fillies. For all, we know his accomplice could have done it for all we know. Guess I’ll leave that up to you guys.” “We’ll handle it.” Storm assured. “I guess I’ll be heading back to Cloudsdale now. Me and the family they could use the rest.” Thunder walked over to Storm and outstretched his hoof. “I can’t thank you enough Storm you and your team. If you need anything just let me know.” “No problem.” Storm smiled shaking Thunders hoof. “We got to work together to make sure that everyone is safe.” “Of Course.” Thunder soon left Ponyville along with the other officers and the fillies. Soon after that Comet and Clover arrived at the station. “Well,” Clover said when they arrived. “I think it’s safe to say that you had a crazy first day on the job right?” “Yeah.” Phantom agreed. “Stuff like this is what we do right?” “Of course.” NIght said with a smile. “By the way there still 2 hours left before shift change. So back to work.” Everyone groaned. “Shut up.”
