Chapter 2
No boom boom in the Bloom room
Somewhere in Vanhoover a high stakes game of Go Fish was underway. Only two players left, High Rise and Pin Point.
“Any 3’s”
“ Go fish”
“Any Jacks”
“Aw man”
“Well looks like I win.” Pin Point declared,”better luck next time.”
As Pin Point collected his winnings High Rise spoke to him,”Oh, now come on son give me a chance to win some of my money back. “
“Oh no, I'm not getting hustled by you,” Pin point declared,”besides I think it's time for me to find a nice young mare I can get close to if you know what I mean.”
High Rise smiled,”as a matter of fact I do. How about we go back to my place I got something that might peak your interest.”
With a simple jester Pin Point followed High Rise out of the bar and toward the rich pony's house. As both ponies entered the house Pin Point was amazed by the ambiance.
“OK you have a seat there and I will get the entertainment,” High Rise said as he walked upstairs. A minute later he returned with what looked like two young fillies, a red one and a yellow one.
“So what do you think? Nice and pretty enough for you? So you don't have to waste that hard earned money at a brothel you can spend it here,” High rise stated.
Pin Point looked at the girls. He happen to notice a black eye that seemed to be covered by makeup on the yellow one.
“What happened to this one? She get in a fight.” Pin Point noticed.
“Actually she got a little to bold with me so I had to let her know I don't tolerate that,” high exclaimed.
Pin Point also notice two missing teeth and a multitude of scars and bruises on her as well. When he looked the red filly there were no bruises not even a hair out of place.
“Come on now pick which one,” High Rise said impatiently, “pick one then we can go to Apple Bloom's room and have some real fun.”
Pin Point glared. “Hmmm...I got a better idea. How about a wager. A bet if you will.”
“What kind of bet?”
“For these two fine fillies.”
High Rise raised an eyebrow,”now why would I do such a wager?”
“Mainly because of this,” Pin Point tosses a gold coin at the rich pony.
High rise looks at the coin then holds it up to the light. Just then Apple Bloom's gaze fixed on the coin and she lets out a gasp.
“Ah recognize that. That's the first place coin ah won at the Appleloosa junior rodeo. M'ah sister was so proud of me that day.”
High rise gave Apple Bloom a look that could melt steel. He threw the coin meant to hit the filly but Pin Point intercepted it and placed it back in his pocket.
“So Mr. Rise here the situation. I know from a certain group of ponies that you purchased this girl for a very good price. I also know that you sexually abuse her on a regular basis. I also know that in most cases that you give your daughter the same treatment. Such stallions like you shouldn't be allowed to live so I'm going to give you a gentlemen's chance to get out of this.”
Pin Point reaches into his pocket and pulls out a bottle. Inside the bottle are two white pills. He places the bottle on the table. From his other pocket he out a small hourglass timer.
“What you see before are two white pills. One pill is nothing more than a sugar pill, but the other is a colmeh pill. If you're not familiar with it let's just say that its a poison only used in the most extreme conditions. Colmeh is strong enough to kill a full grown manticor in two minutes. So I give you the choice of picking one pill I take the other and see who falls in 2 minutes.”
“What if I refuse,” High rise stated,”you got nothing to make me take that pill.”
Pin Point pulled out the coin,”only this, you see when you touched this the enchantment put on it was activated. So now in about 15 minutes the entire Apple family will know where their lost apple is now located. The only way to stop it is to pick the right pill. As always the choice is yours.”
High Rise stared at the bottle then at the coin Pin Point was juggling between his hooves. The more he looked at it the more upset he became. Finally he gave in and reached for the bottle.
“OK I will take this one!”
“Fair enough.”
Both stallions held a pill in their hoof. Both swallowed their pill. Pin Point flipped the timer and waited. As the last grain of sand fell both stallion fell forward onto the table. Apple Bloom and Ruby gasped as High Rise and Pin Point remained motionless. Just then Pin Point raised his head and slowly leaned back in the chair.
Apple Bloom exclaimed,”you're alive!”
“Yyyess I ammm.” Pin Point announced feeling disoriented
“Ah can't believe it that old buzzard actually took the poison pill.”
“Actually both pills were poisoned. Its just I have built an immunity to the affect of colmeh. However it still has a very heady affect on me.”
After 10 minutes Pin Point was strong enough to leave the house. He told the girl let's go. As they all walked out Ruby stopped gave her Daddy a kiss on the cheek and joined the others.
“You're safe now”
