CHAPTER 2

“COCAINE CUBE CORNER”

Has been a month since Mr. Grandeur was murderer and there is no trace of Gallant anywhere. Cliff and Chuck checked out his place but there was no sing o him, the place was empty, literally. No furniture, no TV. not even a fridge, nothing the place was abandoned from sometime, maybe years. The case is getting cold. It is not like it was priority for the department they still think it was a suicide followed by a robbery, one case dropped the other one filed. Suits perfect to me, it means nobody will be looking for him. He´s all mine. But until a new clue appear, there´s nothing I can do so, until then, there is other cases to attend.
I close the file of Gallant´s case in my computer and open a file of a new case.

“Tutsimena Veronica Pop, A.K.A. Tutsi Pop”
“Age: 17, Sex: Mare”
“Coat: Pink, Mane Color: Pink, Eye Color Blue”
“Breed: Earth Pony, Cutie Mark: Confetti”
“Status: Deceased”
“Cause of death: Cocaine overdose”

Third one this month. A drug dealer pony has been circulating a new form of cocaine. According to Cheryl´s analysis, this new variety can be ingested so it comes in cubes like the sugar cubes and even they have sugar in to it to improve the flavor. It´s very potent and addictive, the word on the street says that it make you feel like you were in a party wherever you are.

That does explain it, she looks like a party girl, but I’m sure she didn’t mean to end like that. “Don’t worry young mare, I thought, I will catch the monster who hook up this shit on you”. Strange, in her file photo she have fluffy hair like cotton candy, but when I photographed his body her hair was straight, maybe is a side effect of the drug. In her file photo she was smiling and looks full of life but in her other photo, well, she was smiling too with her eyes wide open, the drug maintain his effects even after her death. Maybe the overdose was the cause of death but she has a bruise on the left cheek. Which indicate that she was beaten before she died.
I can imagine what happened. The drug dealer was with her in the room.

“- Please baby- she said- give some more sugar.”

“- Not now bitch I’m counting my winnings”
She grabs a bunch of cubes from the table and putted her mouth.

“- Bitch!, that was for tonight selling’s!

Is when he hoof her in her cheek and left her laying on the bed of that crappy hotel room. Mmm, if he made a good hoof impression I can put it in the computer and if he had record I will get his identification. I have to check if the coroner finished his report.

So I came out of my lab an I saw Cheryl passing by.

• Cheryl, did you know if the coroner finished his report on the girl’s body?

• Yes, Dex – she answered- I have a copy in my lab if you want to check it out. It is on my desk

• Thanks.

Cheryl, she may be smart but she still has the heart of a filly, how innocent. That may become handy.
After pick up the report from Cheryl´s Lab, I take it to my Lab, I scan the amplified picture of the bruise and the computer begins to do his job. After finish to create a virtual hoof print it started to compare it with the ones in the data base. This may take several minutes maybe hours. So maybe I should….. BEEP BEEP…. Uh? Finished already?

“Bling Bling Bits, A.K.A. 3B”
“Age: 32, Sex: Stallion”
“Coat: Brown, Mane Color: Black, Eye Color: Black
“Breed: Earth Pony, Cutie Mark: A sack of bits”
“Status: Unknown”
“Actual Address: Unknown”
“Last Known Address: Mane Street 56”
“Record: Five charges for D.U.I., Two Charges for Drug Dealing, Twelve Charges of possession of drugs, one charge for Murder, seven charge for armed robbery, Escaping from prison.”

• My, My,-I thought- A very dangerous pony, well, not as dangerous as me, but dangerous indeed. He must have his own hidden talents for escaping the prison the day he was taking in. And he has a Master on Chemistry, He must be the Chef as well. Let’s check who your victim was.

A shop´s clerk. Apparently he have the bad habit shoot without saying “this is a robbery”. He shoots first and takes the money. The first six one were lucky, the last one, not. I better print a Photo of him, for my ritual.

It is Lunch time; I have enough time to check on Bling Bling´s last place for clues. Except that Chuck was entering from the main door holding a copy of the coroners´ report. Shit.

• Good news ponies, - he said- We got a suspect.

Everypony get excited. Cliff was eating a doughnut in that moment.

• Effefen fob faifo- gulp- I mean, Excellent job my boy! How did you find it?

• I closely examined the bruise on the victim´s face, it had a perfect hoof print on it which indicates that the victim was beaten before she was dead. Then I pass the hoof print by the computer and “Bingo”, a match. His name is Bling Bling Bits, A.K.A. 3B, he had a record, just escaped from prison last year. I have his last known address.

• Very good- Cliff replied- Let´s go.
  Dam it! Knowing Chuck he probably already sent a couple of officers to secure the place. I could simply go there, I got the authority to enter any crime scene but, without a bloody body there it will look suspicious.

• Dexy! You are coming with us. – Cliff said- just in case we need your abilities.

• Uh, yeah sir, immediately- Lucky Strike.

****************

At 3B´s Place:

An old apartment in a condemned building. It will be demolished the next day, luckily we found it first. Not much left there. The place looks like a dumpster. An old black and white TV that doesn’t work anymore, old adult magazines on a table (I don´t see the point of those), junk food leftovers.
I was exanimating a garbage can when I found an interesting piece of paper.

• A recipe – I thought

• What you got there Dex? – Chuck asked

• Nothing it’s just a…- he didn´t let me finish that sentence when he took it from my hoof.

• Sir, look what Dexy just found. – Chuck Said

• But..

• Let me see. - Cliff said – Mmm, a recipt for the rental of a warehouse on the docks with the date of a month ago. It is when the new drug started to appear! Good job Dexy I knew it would be worthy to bring you here.

• But..

• Let´s go, I have to make a phone call to the station to make the S.P.A.T. team prepares a raid to that warehouse.

• But..

They left the room.
That’s just great; dam Chuck and his watchful eyes. But I can blame him, it´s his job after all. It´s my fault for not being faster. I have no choice, my only hope rest on Bling Bling itself.

****************

That night at the docks…

The Warehouse is surrounded by the police and the S.P.A.T. Lots of Earth ponies heavy armored with shields, helmets and police batons ( this is a fanfict don´t ask how). Pegasus snipers hidden in the clouds above, and a sturdy Unicorn holding a huge police battering ram with his magic. Meanwhile the rest of the department gives them supporting fire from behind their police cars. All waiting for the Chief Department´s signal.
Gordon Badge, Chief of the Police Department of Manehattan. An imposing Earth pony with many years of experience in the force. I heard that he get his cutie mark while playing cops and robbers with his friends when he was a little colt; a police badge.

All my colleagues where there. Cheryl, Chuck, Cliff (eating a doughnut), the old Ray, even Dusty was there, spite of being a little nervous because he is not use have lots of ponies around him. But not me, I was observing the entire action from my car on the other side of the docks next to the street. The Chief grab a megaphone and says:

• THIS IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OF MANEHATTAN, COME OUT WITH YOUR HOOVES UP.

He waited a couple of seconds for an answer.

• GO THE EVERFREE FOREST. (That’s hell for us)

• YOU ASKED FOR IT.

The Chief gives the signal and the sturdy Unicorn ram the big door destroying it with one hit. Waves of armored Earth ponies gallop into the warehouse, shoots and beatings can be heard from inside, shoots started to coming from the windows, police ponies began to return fire from behind their police cars, the Pegasus snipers start to shoot as well. A total pandemonium, obviously 3B wasn’t alone.

• Come on Bling Bling – I was mumbling – if you were smart enough to escape the prison the very same day you were put it in, then you are smart enough to have prepared an emergency escape plan.

In that very moment a ponyhole cover start to move just in front of my car and Bling Bling appears, I immediately hide myself behind the steering wheel.

• He he, Dumb police. – He said.

• I know you will not disappoint me Bling Bling – I thought.

He started to gallop to a dark alley on the other side of the street. I came out of the car to follow him, and when he was about to reach the other side of the alley I used my magic to rise a brick wall in front on him.

• What the fuck? – He exclaimed.

• Going somewhere Bling Bling? – I said while I was raising another wall behind me to make sure he doesn’t escape.

The alley become darker and my horn and my eyes were glowing with a dark aura, it get that way every time I’m going to catch my prey.

• Who the fuck is you? Do you know who I´m? I´m 3B! Nopony messes with 3B!

• I´m afraid Mr. Bling Bling it s you who doesn’t know who I’m.

• Fucking Unicorn! I will teach you a lesson!

He tried to tackle me but it wasn’t a big problem to me to teleport my-self and make him crash in the wall. While he was semi-unconscious I insert a syringe in his neck to put him to sleep.

****************

Secret location.

Bling Bling Bits wakes up. He realize that he is wrapped all in plastic and immobilized over a table in a small room also wrapped all in plastic and illuminated with candles.

• What the hell is going on? - He exclaimed- Where the hell I am?

• Not exactly, but soon. - I said.

• YOU! What are you going to do? W-why you bring me here?

• You are here because of them! – I pointed to wall with my hoof while holding a scalpel.
  Four pictures exhibited on the wall one stallion, the shop´s clerk and three young mares, one of them was Tutsi Pop.

• I don’t even know them!

• At least you should know him. You shoot him when robbed his store, about the mares, maybe you don’t commit the act, but their blood is in your hooves.

I said this while I was making him a little cut on his right cheek to take blood sample for my collection.

• Ouch! Listen, if this is for Tutsi Pop we can make a deal, what you want? Money? Drugs? I can give you as much you want.

• What I want is Justice – I answered while raising a knife with both hooves – and soon my friend, the glue factory for you!

• No! Wait! WAIT!

I stab him in the heart and the blood began to flow, some of it sprinkles me. I could use my magic to hold the Knife but I prefer to use my hooves, it is more personal that way.

****************

Slice of Life 2, my yacht, my home.

After killing Bling Bling I chop his body into parts, the four legs, the torso, the head; all in individual plastic bags with a weight tied on each of them. Then I bring them to my yacht and went offshore to a previously selected location. I began to throw his body in to the ocean. When I heard small hoofsteps coming from inside the yacht. It was my son, Harrison. He looks like me at his age. Doesn´t have a cutie mark yet. I just hope it´s not like mine.

• Dad, what are you doing? He asked yawning.

• Nothing son, just admiring the stars while drinking a beer, go back to the bed you have school tomorrow.

• Ok, see you in the morning, good night dad.

• Good night son.

My first kill in a long time, I’m started to feel nostalgic.
