Finally A Day Off
Chapter 13: Guns from the Past
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTrebass trotted down the red carpeted hallway, and approached a grey metal door at the end of the hallway. His hooves felt comforted by the soft flooring, since he had been cramped into a limousine trunk. He came to the door at the end of the hall, and pushed it open. The unicorn peeked in, the first thing he noticed was a large glass window that covered the most wall on the opposite side of the room. The room was dimly lit from the light outside, and it looked like something was covering most of the window itself, but the light was able to make its way through the cover. But with the small amount of light, Trebass could see what looked like a long desk sat in front of the window, and a tall chair behind the desk. A single silhouette stood beside the tall black chair. From the figure of the silhouette, He could tell it was a pegasus. But the room was too dark to see his mane or coat colour.
He slowly took a step in, but then he stopped when he heard a voice from the other side of the room, "So you're that pony who just won't stop his snooping, I'm assuming."
Trebass stopped, and just stared at the silhouette beside the chair.
"Now now... No need to be shy my friend! Just have a seat right over there." The voice didn't seem to be coming from the silhouette, but it was definitely coming from somewhere near it.
Seeing no other option, the unicorn trotted into the room and approached the desk. He slowly put each hoof forward, as sweat dripped from his brow. He couldn't see anything else around him besides the desk, chair, and mysterious pony.
The black chair turned slowly towards around, he could see the shape of somepony sitting in it. He saw a long sharp horn on his head, and long arms stretched on the armrests of the chair, but nothing else.
"Who are you?" He asked the stranger in the chair.
The pony in the chair turned to the silhouette to on his side, "Why don't you make our friend here a drink, eh boy?"
The pony next to the chair trotted off into a darker corner of the room where Trebass lost sight of him.
"You didn't answer my question." Trebass said, slowly turning his head towards the unicorn in the chair.
The pony in the chair leaned forward, but Trebass was still unable to see the details of his face, "The name's Flam boy. Don't go forgetting it anytime soon. Got it?"
"Oh I won't..." Trebass grumbled to himself, "Wait... Flam... That sounds so..."
Suddenly, a small drinking glass was placed on the long wooden desk in front of him. Trebass looked up, his eyes widened, he became speechless.
"Y-You!" He stuttered his words.
The light from the window revealed the identity of his server. A pegasus with a midnight blue coat and a brown mane stood there, giving the white unicorn an empty glare.
"Your drink." The pegasus gestured to the glass on the desk, then disappeared back into the shadows.
Trebass gave a glare of his own towards Flam, "Now I know your name, and your game you old geezer."
"You should watch that tongue of yours kid, the shadows around you might not appreciate that kinda behaviour." Flam said, as he reached under the desk in front of him.
And there Trebass stood, and looked at the last thing he would've expected.
Darkness all around him, a long wooden desk in front of him, and a mobster unicorn in a chair, just grabbing distance away from him. Upon further inspection, Trebass noticed that some dark curtains were drawn together over the window.
He smiled, as a mysterious red glow faded in and out from behind the window. He didn't know what it was, but he had a sneaking suspicion about who placed it there.
Flam noticed the smile creeping onto Trebass' face, "Hey! Wipe that grin off your mug. What're you smiling--"
*BOOM*
Shards of glass flew at Trebass, as he dove for the desk. The sharp pieces of the window landed in front of him, he pressed his back against the desk. A extremely short moment of silence filled the air, then a gunshot rang out.
*BANG*
Trebass looked up, and saw the body of a yellow unicorn jumping over him and galloping towards the exit of the room. He stood up, but before he could chase after the pony, somepony else had pushed him to the side and began to pursue the yellow unicorn.
"Hey!" Trebass shouted, as he followed the two (2) ponies.
He burst through the door that lead into the red-carpeted hallway. He saw the backside of a female minty green pegasus, with a revolver on her wing. Just ahead the mare was a pale yellow unicorn, with a bacon-like coloured mane, standing in front of the elevator door where Trebass had come from.
"There's no where left to run! And your time is up!" The mare shouted.
Flam, the yellow unicorn, panicked and forced the elevator doors open with a spell from his horn. As the doors opened, Flam almost fell into an empty elevator shaft, as the wire for the elevator had been cut and frayed.
*BANG*
Another gunshot rang out, and a bullet had bounced off of the elevator wall. The sudden gunshot caused Flam to lose his balance, and fall into the empty elevator shaft. His screams for help echoed through the metallic shaft.
Trebass' mouth hung open, his eyes wide, then he rushed towards the black mane pegasus. He tackled her to the ground, and pinned her by her forelegs.
"I NEEDED ANSWERS FROM HIM!" He shouted.
"I-I... I'm sorry Trebass!" The mare shouted.
The unicorn released his tense grip, and backed away slowly, "Deviree..."
