Manehatten wasn't like most city's in Equestria it was a city of death that didn't care for dreams or hopes only bits but still the city keeps on turning some call it the concrete jungle I called it the city of corpses where pony's went to rot.

My target was iron fortress a corrupt politician who was taking a bit to much of the top messing with the food chain you could say unfortunately for him my contractors didn't like that.

The stallion wasn't much to look at black fur brown mane blue eyes scar above his right hair a ferocious temper I've been following him for weeks finding out his routine where he lived who he knew and where he stayed.

Turns out he doesn't even own property in manehatten guess he doesn't want to overlook the rot but he does stay at a fancy 5 star hotel when he does come to manehatten.

That's why I'm standing outside of the fleus hotel it was six stories tall the front entrance was a door made of glass so you could see right into the reception next to it was a line of bushes on either side and a red carpet lead out from it coating the stairs in a fine red a doorpony to the left.

"Can I get the door for you miss" the doorman said to me of course I wasn't exactly a mare I was using an illusion to make me look like my targets receptionist in reality I was a stallion gray fur and black mane, scar just above my eyes and my my snout also had a large scar running across from it.

It seems our iron fortress was having an affair with his receptionist shocker I know so I also had to find out her routine and who she knew I also found out that she would pay visits to Mr iron fortress so of course I took advantage of that luckily for me the receptionist in question would be at home working on her soon to be hangover from to much drinking

"Ah yes thank you." I replied to the doorman in a cheerful tone " have a nice night miss" the doorman said.
"And to you to goodnight."as I walked through the glass door into the reception area now the desk was directly in front of me to my left and right there were tables and chairs probably for relaxation purposes of course as I got closer to the front desk I could see that here was a bar down the left side corridor and to my right was the elevator that would take me up a floor.

"Ah miss bell it's a pleasure to see you again will you be visiting Mr iron today" the receptionist had said to me the mare in question was wearing a formal suit and shirt she had blue for and a brown mane of course I knew her name she was a dear friend of my illusion her name was sunny side she only just started a few months ago so she's relatively new to the job.
"Oh hello sunny didn't know your shift started so late yes I'll be visiting iron today have a few reports that I need to go through with him." Giving her a smile and flicking my hair back.

"Okay I'll call the elevator down for you also I know I shouldn't assume about our clients but Mr iron seemed to have brought some ahem." she coughed." Some less respectable mares up with him." She blushed and looked down.

This alters my plan a bit originally I was going to make it look like a suicide hanged himself dues to his terrible of addiction of choking himself while he got dirty dog isn't he well now I'll just have to make it look like a lovers spat luckily I still have Miss bells DNA due to me needing it for the spell, unfortunately for those two mares they won't be leaving tonight no witnesses.

I decided to make it known that I was not pleased about this development."HE WHAT BEHIND MY BACK WAIT TILL I GET MY HANDS OF HIM." without giving sunny the chance to reply I stormed off into the elevator going up to the third floor where my targets waited just like a city of corpses there won't be any mercy for the innocent.
As I reached the third floor with an audible ding the doors opened leading out to a hallway where rooms lined either side my targets were on room 309 as turned left heading towards the lower number rooms my hooves made no noise on the red carpet as I crept further along as I reached the door I began my work I wouldn't drop my disguise yet pulling out a lockpick from my coat pocket I began my work unlocking the door.

With a click it was open as I burst into the room catching iron fortress on top of a mare looking dumbly forward and another mare kissing the other mares face not realising that I haven't even entered the room I closed the door behind me I dropped my illusion spell and gave in to my true form I was wearing a black trench coat inside was a combat knife and a colt 45 revolver of course I won't use the revolver know due to Equestria banning all firearms the only way you can get them in is with smuggling them from the Griffin empire. I was also wearing black gloves on my hooves so I wouldn't leave a DNA trail and my face was covered in a black balaclava that covered my entire face my mouth and eyes included to give off a manaqueuin look my mane couldn't be seen and my fur was black thx to the spell that I had woven into my clothes to hide my real identity It also changed my cutie mark to a hammer.

As I crept up closer holding the combat knife in my telekinesis I took in the detail of the two mares one had orange fur and a light blue mane the other was a deep red with a dark brown mane of course as I stepped closer the mare under him took notice and yelled out " who the hell is that behind you." Before he could even turn around I had plunged the blade straight into his neck as I pulled out my knife he had dropped on top of the mare pinning her down I barely even blinked as i watched the life leave his eyes as he fell spraying blood on the mare by this point the two mares were screaming for me to spare them let them live to bad that I didn't care this was manehatten the city of corpses they showed have known what they were getting into.
