Author's Note

Yeah, this chapter was meant to be longer, but some computer thing and when I opened it... I lost what I wrote, which made me angry. I'm rewriting it but so you people have something I brought you what I could quickly write and bring back to life. thankfully i had some of this hand written.

Praise the sun

“Is there a reason for it officer?” Dusk asked, keeping himself in the door..

“We just want to talk about where you were three days ago?” Officer Flash said, his gruff voice basically telling Dusk he didn’t want to be fucked with. He sighed leaning over slightly as he muttered,

“Well, I’ve been home, really not able to move Got into an accident.”

“Well do you have any medical records or reports of an accident?” Flash asked pushing straight to the point, though Dusk growled.

“No, if I remember clearly you told me to stay out of town and not cause trouble. So, I figured I’d stay out of town. Now unless you have a warrent for my arrest or any proof, mind if you fuck off.”

Dusk was ready to slam the door, but there Mr. Firelight’s foot stuck out, blocking Dusk from closing it completely.

“Listen here boy, I know it was you. I might not have all the proof but I want you down at that station to answer a few damn questions. What you did destroying my little girls car is inexcusable.” He growled more clearly angry as he showed off his white smile. Though Dusk wasn’t intimidated.

“Sir I’d like you off my property, Otherwise I’ll be requesting officer Flash here to have you removed you’re not welcome her, and neither is your daughter.” He muttered, ready to end this conversation since he was not going to be taking shit from this man any more.

“Yeah, though I’m sure, that Flash here will be able to get a warrant for your home, the rumors going on about, the place and the establishment. Which I’m sure if they’re true, then maybe this place will be shut down, and everyone here arrested including yourself and sent to jail. “

“What do you mean,” Dusk said playing dumb as he gripped the door handle. Dusk almost imagined that if he held it any tighter he might have ripped the handle off it.

“You know, about how this place is a whore house. This ain’t Nevada boy, and prostitution here isn’t legal. And I can imagine that if the police discovered something. Well, it won’t end well for you. I promise that, especially with you being a Rapist and all.”

It was there, at that moment Dusk Snapped, his hand balling into a fist. Then without warning, he stepped outside of his house. Punching Mr. Firelight right in the face as hard as he could. This sent the older man, off-balance as he landed on his ass, his hand holding his face as blood trickled down his face. It was clear Dusk broke his nose the way it was bent to the side.

Dusk was ready to beat the living shit out of Mr. Firelight. His words hit the wrong nerve as Dusk was grabbing the man by his shirt. As he pulled his fist back. Though the next thing Dusk knew he was tackled and being pushed down. The feeling of handcuffs latching around his wrists with a light clinch.

“That's assault boy, you have the right to remain silent, anything you have to say, will be used against you in the court-” Officer Flash exclaimed telling his Miranda rights. Sunset came out. Dusk was thankful for that if it was applejack or heaven forbid any of the other girls who knows what would’ve happened.

“Dusk!?” Sunset called out her tail’s folding up hiding from the view of the other. Dusk just gave her a nod and exclaimed.

“I’ll be alright. Just get Celestia as soon as you can and tell her to come to the police station. Don’t panic.”
There Dusk was dragged off in the back of a police car.

Dusk sighed sitting in the interrogation room. As he laid his head on the table waiting for Celestia to come pick him up. His fingers tapping the table. A long sigh as he began thinking about how he was going to get out of this situation. In truth this was definitely his fault. He should have kept his temper in check but he lost his temper.

I swear I’m gonna get my ass kicked, no, fuck that I’d do it again if I was given a chance that asshole deserved it. Dusk chuckled as he remembered punching Mr. Firelight in the face, it was something he was sure he wouldn’t forget. A light sigh as he heard the door open. Officer Flash walked inside. A file dropped in between them, while drinking a coffee.

“Mind if I get you a donut, coffee? Maybe a soda while we wait for your lawyer?” Flash said trying to be friendly, as he took a long gulp. Dusk said nothing while watching him.

“Come on now, we knew each other from high school, well I remember you. Guy off in the back reading a book, goofing off. I could probably get your assault charge removed if you talk with me.” He said clearly playing the nice cop.

“Yeah, what I remember you were the guy tossing the football around in class, and stuffed a couple of guy’s into the locker.” Dusk muttered under his breath though eyed him more. Flash wasn’t smiling at that.

“As I said, if we talk about where you were three nights ago, give us some information I might be able to convince Mr. Firelight into dropping the assault charges and get you out of here. If not well. You might have to spend a few nights before we take you to court and with your record. I’m sure you’re not going be given a slap on the wrist. Mr. Firelight is a promenade member of the community.”

“I think it’ll be in my best interest that you ask me these questions when my Lawyer gets here Flash.” Dusk said keeping the calm expression. Though Flash looked annoyed,

“Fine, though you better have a good Lawyer on your side.” He took his coffee ready to head off.

“Which he does.” A familiar voice called out, and look saw her standing in the doorway was none other than Celestia fresh faced and clearly not in a good mood, as she wore a suit, and looked as though she meant business.

“So your his lawyer. I never expected a man with his history to even have a woman willing to be his lawyer.”

“Well, I am and I request that you release my client simple as that.” She took a seat by Dusk right then, as she dropped a few file.

“Under what cause, he’s under investigation and was arrested for assult of Mr. Firelight?”

“First of all, he is not. Do you have any proof that my client is the one who caused the damage to Mr. Firelights property, and mind if I see it?” Celestia gave a light smirk as she leaned in. Dusk watching her more, as she gave the Officer a look that simply put it said; Don’t try fucking with me, or I’ll crush you like a bug and make you beg for more.

Quiet frankly with the note, being left we imagine that he had someone else do it, at the time and he is involved.

“How so? Did you know Mr. Shine has been at home basically bed ridden for the last three day, I have witnesses including the made who helped nurse him. If I have to I can invite a few of them here as witnesses and alibi.” She tapped the table while giving a wicked smile.

“Even if we find him innocent, he has a history of causing trouble, then add the fact he Assulted Mr. Firelight.”

“And how do we know that wasn’t entrapment, after all, he was with you, and from what I heard you were wanting him to come in and and he so happen to assault Mr. Firelight. I don’t think the court would appreciate it. Especially from looking over your file quickly you’re not a very popular sherrif and you’ve had the job for a year.” She opened her file giving it a look.

“Hmm such a naughty cop. I’m suprised no one has punished you.” She teased him, as she watched Flash seeing if he would take the bait, her hook out and that little worm just dangling.

“Ma’am I still have questions, and he should be ruled out.”

“Drop the assult charges and maybe he can answer some questions. But as I said I want to see the evidence that might show who attacked the car, Video footage, witnessess?”

“Sadly we don’t have any when they tried checking even using the neighbors they were down at the time.”

“Well thats too bad, but as I said if you want to talk with my client, ether drop the charges, or as I said, let him go home. I promise you that we’ll not make this easy for you.”

There was a moment pause, as it was clear Officer Flash was not going to get away with this, as he let out a sigh.

“Fine, but as I said we’ll probably ask some questions then there’s those rumors about your place. I might have to have it checked out sometime soon you got it.” He was watching Dusk more then anything at this point though Celestia simply muttered,

“Mr. Shine has nothing to hide and you won’t find anything. If you keep trying to bring up false accusation we might have to put a suit against the town, and as I said. If you try and mess with us, we’ll fight back, and do you really want to be burnt.”

Officer Flash let out a growl, Dusk could practically see his hands balling into fists like he was ready to punch someone but held everything back.

“Fine I’ll show you the way out, and as I’ve told Mr. Walker here before I don’t want to see him in my down, He might want to get his shopping in the next town over. So there isn’t any trouble.”

“Not a chance, he has as much right to be in town as anyone else, and if I find out that you’re harrassing him I will get the city involve and tear your ass a new one, you got it.” Celestia said, not budging on this. Flash watched her with grave annoyance. Yet he nodded still leading them out of the building.

Standing outside the building Flash walked away, huffed, and pissed. Knowing that nothing he could do would matter; at least not now. Though Flash was sure he’d get Dusk, he was certain about that. Celestia watched as the cop walked away from her sight and turned her gaze back to Dusk.

“Dusk I want you to be honest, did you ask any of the girls to attack them? I want to know.” She was clearly angry, her face softened and looked exhausted. Yet in them was the kind of look that said she was ready to gut someone like a fish.

“No, I don’t know what the hell happened, Beside I wouldn’t ask the girls to fight my own battles.” Dusk was being honest probably more honest then he had been for the longest time. Celestia moved in though her breasts pressing against his chest. It reminded him that even though she was clearly shorted then him. Celestia was still far more intimidating, and probably kick his ass six ways to Sunday. Dusk could bet the farm on that.

“Good, I mean it. The girls aren’t meant to be used for some bullshit feud with some rich asshole. If I found out you were Lying and asked the girls to harm someone or put them in danger, I’ll crush you like a bug.” To prove her point, Celestia pushed her hand against his gut, sharp claws pushing against them, they felt like needles ready to be injected into him. Dusk gulped in response. It was like his life was flashing before his eyes; Even with those two men before ready to beat the life out of him. Dusk imagined he was closer to death now then he ever had been.

“I promise you, I wouldn’t harm the girls. Honestly I don’t think I’d be able to forgive myself if I hurt them.” He agreed to this.

“Good, come on.” Celestia pulled her hand back as they looked normal, Hell Dusk thought her nails looked shorted like she’d been biting them, while turning her head back, “We’ve got a few things to talk about. Plus the girls are worried about you.” Celestia lead him to her car. Everyone around them watched the two. The older folks sneering at him with much content. Celestia brushed them off, keeping a cool look to her. Yet a few times flashed a don’t fuck with me, look. The people who saw this turned their heads away pretending not to notice.
