CHAPTER 3

“Bloody Oranges Acres”

Juicy Oranges Acres Farm, outside of town. 12:00 p.m.

I received a call for a crime scene in a local farm. When I get there manyponies already had gathered there. Strange, considering we are far from town. When I came out of the car, I realize everypony there was sad. Many of them were crying, even young fillies and colts that not supposed to be here.

The victim must have had many friends. I can see their sadness, but I can´t feel it.
The crime scene was in a barn. On my way there I notice some tracks on the road of an unfamiliar type of heavy vehicle that leads directly to a broken fence. When a I get there I found Ray the police line. He was with his head down, probably affected for the victim as well. I salute him as usual.

After I entered the barn I overheard he was mumbling:

I guess I should have got upset for heard that, but oddly I’m not.

Cliff and Chuck were already there inspecting the scene and Dusty was bagging a pitchfork of hay with blood on it in a big plastic bag, using his magic of curse. Everypony there was with a sad look on his face. I don´t, obviously they notice that, but they know me so that doesn´t bother them.

I reach the victim´s body. Another young mare; Orange coat, blond mane with a pony tail on it (lol), a cowboy hat next to her with sprinkles of blood on it and three orange on her flanks; Three entry wounds on her chest consistent with the pitchfork. I started to photograph her.

I can see why, I can sense traces of unicorn´s magic in both, the victim’s body and the pitchfork. But is odd, both traces look similar but different at the same time. Which indicates that they were two different unicorns related to each other, maybe brothers? Excellent those will double my fun.

“The Flim Flam Brothers presents: The opening of his new Orange Juice stand and the presentation of their newest invention “The Super Speedy Juice Squeezy 7000” tomorrow at the Downtown´s Park”
Interesting, two unicorns and a vehicle that had left such marks. I have to confirm it first like the Harry´s code says.

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

Manehattan Park, early in the morning.

I went to the park the next day; luckily it was my free day. When I get there, many ponies were already gathered. They were singing. Apparently the brothers staged a musical number and everypony were participating. When the show ended they started to sell juice like no tomorrow. They did not have to work hard. The gadget had a vending machine in one of the sides so; they just sat on a sofa that they brought and watched the money flow. They activated their machine with their magic and is when I found that their magic signature are identical to those I found in the crime scene.

But first, I must know their reasons, as Harry´s code says. I was about to go talk to them when suddenly another pony appears and talk to them first. Chuck, why I’m not surprised?
I decided to queue in the line for the vending machine, so that I can use my far audition spell. I was wearing a cap so nobody will notice that my horn was glowing.

I was interrupted by the pony behind me.

All ponies in the line started to complain.

I bought a couple of juices and came out of the line. Is when Chuck noticed my presence.

I walk away in the precise moment a mare was opening a cosmetic case and I notice the small reflection of Chuck in the
mirror´s case. He was giving me a mean look while he was slurping his juice. The same look he usually use when he suspect something. Perhaps he´s suspecting of me. He´s really that smart? I will worry of that later, I have prepared something special for occasions like this, I won´t let it happen again.

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

Later, that night. Everypony are already gone.

The Flim Flam Brothers began to close their shop. I was still there hiding in the bushes.

I think a hear enough. Time to act.
Using my magic I put the suction hose over their heads.

I injected a syringe in each flank of them.

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

The Barn. With a little ligth

Juicy Oranges Acres, That day.

We arrived to Manehattan a couple of days ago. We are raveling apple cider salesponies. But this part of Equestria only has orange farms and after our fail business in Ponyville urged us to return to work, so, we were forced to modify our machine to work with oranges. But we were lacking of enough money to do a perfect modification. And the juice tasted awful. However we find a farm whose oranges were tasty enough to maintain a decent flavor even after our machine.

That young mare was the owner of the farm, we offer her a business partnership but she refuses our generous offer.

We smiled each other and replied and replied:

-WHAT?! But without magic our machine is useless!

That was unexpected. But after we discussed it for a minute we agree.

We think about it for a sec and we realize that the entire family could easily beat us, not even our machine is that fast. We could afford another failure that will ruin us. We became blind in rage. Flam grabs her with his magic and throws her in to the barn and I used mine to grab a pitchfork of hay and stab her.

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

-We were blinded by rage!. - Flim said.

I don´t felt their tears so I stab them simultaneously. My fun has been double.

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

Days later. Dex´s Yacht. Sunday Mornig
After I disposed of their bodies I decide to do something nice for the Orange family, I fix the Flim Flam Brothers´ Machine and left it in the barn with a note.

“A little memento from your late loved one, a friend”

My son was watching cartoons while eating cereal, meanwhile I was enjoying a cup of coffee while read the newspaper. The inauguration of the new Juicer Plant of the orange family was the front page note that day. They all look happy. Then, I notice a small figure on a faraway hill on the background of the picture. I take out my magnify glass out of my tool kit to examine closely. The image was too bad to identify the subject but it was clear that it was the silhouette of a pony with horn and wings.
