"Get her," said a voice that awoke Gilda up from her nap on a cloud floating above Manehattan. Gilda's eyes opened up immediately. She looked around, noticing that many pegasi surrounding her cloud. A few seconds later, 'What the fuck,' was all she could think as she was tackled by all the ponies at once. "Get off of me," she roared, trying to get free. Gilda was able to get her head free just in time to see three more pegasi fly up to her. She noticed that two of them were from the Royal Guard, and the other one she recognized from Ponyville. The two guards looked over to the other, and he nodded. "Gilda the griffin, you are hereby under arrest by the Royal Guard for the kidnapping of Pinkamina Diane Pie," he said as the guards used there staffs to taser her into unconsciousness. She didn't give up without a fight though. The last thing she saw was his smile.

Ponyville Police Station - Early Morning

"Uhh, what a long night," Lion Heart moaned unhappily. "It was productive though," Street Justice laughed at the sulking form in front of his desk. Lion spread out his wings and looked up from the floor. He looked to his right wing and made a whimpering sound. Street looked as well and noticed the large gash in the center of the wing and the dried blood spread throughout his feathers. "How about when we get off, I give you a nice bath and a soothing massage," Street said sympathetically. Lion nodded, making a sound that rivaled a happy puppy.

"LION HEART!" shouted the very unhappy mayor of Ponyville. He quickly stood up, greeting the mare. "Why haven't you solved this case yet," she said sternly. Lion was afraid to look at her, so he bowed his head. "I don't need anymore deaths of the inhabitants of this fine town," she continued, her anger beginning to lessen. "In all due respect ma'am, we have the kidnapper in custody," Lion shyly pointed over to the nearby interrogation room. "Well, I suppose you aren't a total failure," she said, leaving him to his duties. "Should we begin," Lion looked over to Street, who simply nodded.

Interrogation Room - Noon

Lion entered alone, taking in the room aspects. A small room with a table in the center and the griffin tied and handcuffed to one of the chairs. The griffin remained still and quiet as he entered. Lion sat in the other chair on the opposite side, the griffin turned her eyes away from him. "Gilda, this could end so easily," he said quietly and politely. She didn't respond, keeping her eyes away from him. "Gilda, please talk to me," Lion begged. Still no response or eye contact. He stood up, saying, "I don't want to be forceful here." She didn't care, it was over.

Lion decided to play it another way. "The more you tell us, the lesser the punishment." "That's what you always say to the criminal," she said. 'At least she's talking,' he thought, smiling at his accomplishment. He quickly frowned though, thinking, 'If this doesn't work, I'll feel sorry for her.' "We know you didn't do this by yourself," he said. "So what," she said while looking at him with a stare full of rage. "She doesn't care about me, so do what you wish to on me," she said, losing eye contact on Lion. 'Well, it looks like it comes to this,' he thought. He looked at her one last time before leaving the bleak room. As he closed the door into another room, he turned to Street, saying, "let them in." "Bring in the group," Street said into a microphone. After a few minutes, a door on the other side opened up. Three young ponies, jumping around, went into the room with Gilda.

A few minutes later, the three ponies opened the door, shouting, "Cutie Mark Crusaders Police Interrogators Yay." Lion and Street looked inside the room. Gilda was cowering in the corner, the table was upside down with a leg broken, and both chairs were in pieces. "R-rainbow . . . S-she's alive a-and I w-was working for h-her," She said, stuttering on her words. Both of the males looked back at the CMC, who were looking back at them. Lion looked over at Street, asking, "How do they do it?"
