The next adventure

The following morning Andrew woke up shooting out of bed looking around his room before taking a breath and relaxing. Remembering what had happened last night Andrew put his face in his hands and took a shaky breath wondering what was going to happen now she saw him and called out to him to wait, he was sure she couldn't tell who it was but that nagging feeling never went away.

Getting up and out of bed Andrew heads to his bathroom to take a shower. After getting undressed and letting the water get up to a nice hot temperature, he stepped in and let the water cascade over him the familiar initial sting from the water relaxing him even more. As he let the water run down his body he he grabs his soap and starts to wash his body and hair, as he was putting soap in his hair he hears a series of knocks coming for his front door ignoring it and hoping whoever it was would go away he washes and rinses his hair untill the knocks came again but louder. Giving a grumble he turns the water off and starts to dry off the knocking just getting more intense untill he had enough throwing on a pair of shorts and heads down stairs.
Throwing the door open Andrew stops the mare from knocking again only to reveal it to be twilight
"What?!" Andrew growls out.
"A Andrew w why are you half naked and wet?"
"Well before you so rudely banged on my door I was enjoying a nice hot shower, now what can I do for you twilight."
"Oh w well um I'm sorry... For interrupting your shower." Twilight says while staring at Andrews half dressed form, her eyes lingering on his chest and arm muscles as they twitch and steam from the cool air.

Raising an eyebrow Andrew coughs slightly before speaking.
"Eyes are up here pervert." Hearing this caused twilight to turn crimson and sputter.
"Wh what p pervert I'm not a pervert your the one that answered the door while half dressed!" She almost screams.
"Hey it's my house not my fault you can't control your self." Andrew states with a smirk
"Wh.. bu.. I .. *growl* your impossible!" She stats glaring at the human.
Chuckling Andrew offers her to come inside.
"I'm just messing with ya twilight come on in I was about to make some coffee would you like some?"
"Oh uh sure thank you." Twilight says while walking inside.
"No problem just take a seat in the living room I'll be right back."

Walking to the living room couch Twilight sits down while looking around the room she hasn't been able to really inspect the place since last time it was a mess of beer cans and liquor bottles. Now that the place had been cleaned she can admit that the place was nice and cozy looking pictures of possible family and friends and other places he might have been decorated the walls a strange rectangular black object sat on the wall above a fireplace the room also had a small coffee table in front of the couch and recliner of to the side with a lamp next to it and a small side table on the other side the couch was really nice as well it was big enough to lay down on and comfortable enough to sleep in if need.

She was about to just sit and silently wait for Andrew to come back but a picture on the side wall caught her eye,standing up and walking over she saw that it was of Hunter and another man a bit older than him. They were wearing outfits that were a miss match of browns and blacks with what could be seen as sticks in the pattern and they were holding bows, she was about to pick up the photo but Andrew coming back into the room stoped her.
"Here ya go twilight careful it's hot." Andrew says walking over and handing her the cup.
"What you looking at?"
"Oh just this picture, you can use a bow?"
"Yea I can." Andrew says keeping his calm
"Oh! That reminds me we have to go right now something happened last night at Fluttershys place." She says dragging Andrew out of the room.
"Whoa calm down." Andrew says getting her to stop and take a breath.
"Now tell me what happened." He says while taking a drink of his coffee.
"Last night Fluttershy was attacked while looking for her bunny angel bunny."
" Oh my God, is she ok?"
Yes but she is pretty shaken up the attacker chased her all the way back to her home where he broke in and was gonna kill her or who knows what but..." She stops trying to think about how to say what had happened slightly starting to panic.
"But what? What happened?" Andrew says getting her to continue.

"The attacker was killed, shot by an archer from her property line along the everfree forest."
"Well it's good that the archer was there." 'it was Fluttershy I saved? Well at least she ok and no one knew it was me' Andrew thought.
"Yes but that's the thing he put two arrows into him one through his neck and another into the side of his chest both from 100 yards through a window in what we assume was a split second shooting, he would have had to calculate wind air density and how much drop there would be all in a matter of a few seconds twice. Not even some of the best archers in Equestria that we know of can do that kind of shooting."

"So what you think it was instinct shooting?"
That made twilight stop and look him in the eyes.
"What's instinct shooting?" She asks
I'll tell you on the way to shy's place let's go." Andrew says making his way out the door while grabbing his grunt style base ball cap.
"Ok." Twilight says following after him.
Opening the door and letting twilight head out before shutting and locking his house up. Once the door was locked Andrew turned to follow twilight.
"So where does she live anyway?" Just down the road you can actually see it from you place." She stats walking towards the cottage from last night.
"Huh wonder how I've never noticed that before."
"So you were gonna explain what instinct shooting was?"

"Oh yea. Well it's usually a technique used for recurve bows since they have no sights at least normally they don't some do. It's basically a skill that you gain when shooting bows that allows you to aim solely on how your eye and the flight path of the arrow line up using ones instinct to shoot rather than the aid of a sight. If your really good at it you can make multiple quick successful shots in a row with out having to take a break to regain control of the bow, but you have to be good at keeping your arm and hand holding the bow from moving to much."
"Huh and you think this archer could have been doing that?"
"maybe, it would really depend on the bow but you could do it with any kind it just gets annoying to do it when you have a sight on it and compound bows usually always have a sight on em, he's either really good with instinct shooting or he's really good with a bow and shooting in general."
"Well that would explain why he could calculate the information to take the shots so fast but that still doesn't explain how he was able to shoot through her window at 100 yards in the dark."
"I don't know twilight maybe he has good vision or he saw what was happening and took a shot in the dark hoping that it would hit and not just smack a wall or window. Hell maybe who ever it was is just that good at what he does you never know."
"Yea your right."
As they made the way up to Fluttershys cottage everything was silent other than the murmur of talking coming from the house that had caution tape going around it.
"Hey twilight if this is an active crime scene why are going here and where is Fluttershy at a station giving a report?" Andrew asks looking around at the few guards standing around the home.
"No she already gave a report earlier this morning she's at the farm with her colt friend big mac, she's still pretty shaken up by the event and big mac doesn't want her to be alone." She says walking up to the door with Andrew following behind.
"So then why are we here and not over there?" He asks as she goes inside.
"That would be my doing." Said a voice from inside.
