//------------------------------// // Chapter 14 : The Interrogation // Story: Friends With a Spy // by cakestealer //------------------------------// Why does Vinyl act like this? Why is it that she never thinks over what she’s doing? If she’s going to be a spy she needs to be more careful, and work better with Octavia. Derpy hoisted up the knocked out intruder and set him in the chair she had gotten. The noise of someone coming down the ladder reached her ears. Derpy turned around and saw the mare who had been thrown through their front door standing there. “Can you grab me that chain?” Derpy asked. “Yeah, here you go.” The mare handed the chain to Derpy. “I thought I should ask you what happened and what we’re going to do about it.” “Well, I guess I should start with the fact that you came flying through our door. Then Mr. Tough Guy here came in and almost blew my friend’s head off. As I shot at him my friend slowly started moving along the wall and then she ran to our side of the stairs. I yelled out for her to stop but she ran to the other side and tried to tackle him, which, unsurprisingly failed. He flipped her over his head and almost shot her when my other roommate leaped over the railing and hit the guy on the head with a chair.” “Wow, it sounds like your friend might need to work on her skills a bit.” “More than a little. By the way what’s your name?” “Cherry Charm or just CC if you want.” Derpy continued tying the stallion to the chair. Then he started to open his eyes. He looked around and realised what was happening and started to panic. “Well hello sleepyhead. Did you have some good dreams?” Derpy asked in her sweet sounding voice. “What’s going on? Where the hay am I?” “We’ll be the ones asking questions here.” Cherry spoke up. “Who sent you to take out these agents.” “Like I would tell you.” The intruder mocked. “You probably should.” Derpy added. “I mean if you don’t… well, then you’ll have to sit in a room with some tougher interrogators until you do. They struggled with the intruder, who refused to speak up for a while longer until Cherry suggested a different approach. “Well if he’s not going to talk willingly maybe we should bring out the device. That is, if you have one here?” “Well, he isn’t talking, so I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.” Derpy said. She walked to the switches and flipped one up. A storage system came up on one side of the room. Derpy walked over and opened one of the cabinets. She pulled out a small circular device that was made to look like a cartoon ladybug. She brought it to the intruder and let him see it. “I’m sorry, but since you wouldn’t talk we have to use this. It’s going to crawl on your back and slowly pinch you until you tell us who sent you.” The intruder laughed and said, “If I ever tell you.” Derpy placed the device on the stallion’s back. He sat still but looked very uncomfortable. All of the sudden a resounding snap was heard. “OW!” The stallion yelled. “Does that hurt? It really looks like it did. Oh, that is going to leave a mark.” Cherry uttered. “I’m fine.” “Doesn’t seem like it.” “No, really I’m-ARGH! Okay I’ll tell you who sent me just take this thing off my back!” Derpy took the bug device off the stallion’s back. It left two bright red spots where it had bit him. “I was sent by an organization. Their name is Project R.G.R. That’s all I’m telling you.” “That’s all we’ll need.” Cherry said.
