//------------------------------// // Temptation // Story: The Twi'lek // by Gallants //------------------------------// "Okay, Sasha let us try again, you killed the ponies on that train, and then tied up your crew so you could get away," Inspector Sabot had been continuing this line of questioning for the past five days, "just confess so the trial will be easier on both of us, we already have thirty signed confessions from your compatriots saying you were the leader," it would be so easy to simply use the force and force my way out. The temptation was strong, the dark side spoke to me. "I really wish the Liaison Officer would struggle less," I thought as he kicked over a lamp, "Be quiet you might alert somepony to our fun," I whispered before applying pressure to the arteries in his neck allowing him to fall into a quiet sleep I held on a bit longer to ensure what was needed would be done. Sweat dripped down my brow from the focus, I needed a perfect memory if I were to pull this off, as I prepared the final details I heard a knock on his door, "You knocked over your lamp, you can't see me, and I'm not here or ever was," I said before ducking underneath the desk. "S'il vous plaƮt venez," The Officer called out. "Officer Skakeling, I'm Special Agent Duco with the Equestrian Royal Investigative Service. Might I ask what happened to your lamp?" A R.I.S agent, this is going better than I expected. Officer Skakeling was quick to instruct him that he slipped and bumped into his desk, "Ah I see well anyway's I'm here to take custody of Sasha Lessa, as you know she is an Equestrian citizen and her arrest and indictment are our duty," the special agent cleared his throat, "So I would appreciate it if you would take me to her for transfer," Mr. Liaison stepped around his desk presumably towards the Agent. "Oui, oui, follow me, Inspector Sabot should be finishing his questioning, the suspect has stuck with the same story that she is being framed," the door creaked open before it was shut. I crawled from under the desk and peeked over and seeing nopony around I slinked over to the door and stepped out and made my way through towards the plaza.
