Lawrence followed Ray and Evie as they slowly and cautiously lead him to the motel. The three eventually reach a small building standing towards the back of the village. Lawrence felt relieved that he found a place to stay, but when he looked over to Ray, he could tell that he was nervous. Now when the two mentioned officers, they obviously meant the police, but how could Ray be this terrified of the cops, Lawrence didn't understand.
"Oh," Ray whimpered. Evie nudged his side and nodded. The two turned to face Lawrence. Taking a deep breath he entered the motel. But when he saw what was inside he was amazed at how looked. It didn't look like the Police was occupying the place and there was still visitors walking around.
"Huh, it doesn't look that bad," said Lawrence.
"The officers must not be here at the moment," said Evie.
"Well better check in, you two stay here," said Lawrence as he made his way to the counter. The two took a seat on the bench near the doors as they waited for Lawrence to finish his business. That's when they noticed a small crowd of men surrounding a white pony with a purple mane and tail. She kept darting her blue eyes away from the gang members as they pulled at her mane and tail. Meanwhile, Lawrence had finished checking into his room. "Thanks for the keys,"
"Of course, please enjoy your stay sir," said the man. Lawrence was about to call out to Ray and Evie only to find them standing behind him.
"Couldn't it still I presume?" asked Lawrence. Ray shook his head and pointed at the pony and gang members. Lawrence immediately took notice and so did the guy at the counter.
"Oh great it's happening again," he groaned.
"What is sir?" asked Ray.
"Those guys are the Black Moon Bandits, they're a gang filled with notorious troublemakers, they've done nothing but cause trouble for our customers so we've brought in the A.P.S. in hopes to resolve the problem so we can get more customers, but the officers don't do anything and it only seems to get worse," he answered.
"Well then I'll put an end to it," said Lawrence as he walked towards the gang.
"Man he doesn't know fear does he?" asked Ray. Evie and the man followed after him with Ray tagging behind. As Lawrence got closer, he could hear the gang members laughing as they picked at the pony.
"Please just let me go," whimpered the pony.
"Aww what's wrong, can't you stay and play a little more?" laughed one of the gang members.
"Hey," Lawrence called out. The pony and gang members turned towards him as Evie, Ray and the man walked up next to him. "I suggest you stop doing that," said Lawrence.
"And who are you?" asked one of the man.
"My name is Lawrence W. Bishop, and I'm telling you to let her go," said Lawrence.
"Hmph, who are YOU to order us around like that?" sneered another man.
"I'm warning you, push me any harder, and you'll regret it," warned Lawrence.
"Oh what can a puny human like YOU do to us?" a voice asked. Lawrence looked between two guys as another man stood up and walked up to him. He was wearing torn jeans, a black vest with his tattoos showing. He had ear piercings and had spiky black hair.
"Big Bro," one of the man said.
"So you're the leader huh?" asked Lawrence.
"That's right, and I'm warning you kid, if order us around like that, you'll get beat, bad," he said.
"Hmph trying to scare me, you're gonna have to do better than that bitch," sneered Lawrence.
"What was that?" asked the leader. "You think calling me names is cute?"
"Almost as cute when you're wearing a dipper and crying for your mom," snickered Lawrence.
"Ok that's it!" he said. He raised his fist and threw a punch at Lawrence causing Ray and the pony to cover their faces. There was a loud smack followed by multiple gasps. Ray and the pony opened their eyes to see the shocked expression on the leaders face and Lawrence holding onto his fist.
"Hmph pathetic," said Lawrence. He threw the man's fist towards the left as he stepped forward and clapped his hands together real loud in front of the leader's face causing him to flinch. The gang members gasped as they saw their petrified leader suddenly get uppercut by Lawrence. The leader was sent flying into a pot of plant leaving everyone who saw shocked while the other guests started to take notice. Lawrence walked over and grabbed the leader by the collar of his shirt. The leader looked at Lawrence with a terrified expression as he placed the blade of his sword up to his throat. "Well?" Lawrence asked.
"I'm sorry please let me go, I'll do anything I swear!!!!" the leader pleaded.
"Fine, then take your gang and never come back," Lawrence ordered. The leader scrambled to his feet as he ran out with his gang following behind. Lawrence turned towards the pony and asked,"Hey are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine thanks to you," she answered
"Great to hear, and now that they're gone, you shouldn't have too much problem gathering customers," said Lawrence.
"I really appreciate it," said the man.
"Oh before I forget, my name is Rarity," said the pony.
"Lawrence, Lawrence W. Bishop," said Lawrence.
"Well Lawrence, I would like to thank you for helping me out," said Rarity.
"Anytime," said Lawrence. Suddenly the doors opened as two figures walked in. Both were wearing black bullet proof vests and helmets. They had similar black shirts, pants, and boots, and held black guns with a small container holding a small clear Prism just right above the trigger.
"Well, well it seems we missed all the excitement," said one of the figures.
"A.P.S. Officers, welcome back," said the man.
"Thank you, Greg," said one of the officers.
"Before we head back to our rooms, we wanted to give you this," said the second officer handing him an envelope. "Please be sure to look over it carefully," said the officer.
"I'll be sure to do that," said Greg. The two officers turned around and walked off leaving us behind. "Well I suppose I should check out what this is all about," said Greg. He walked behind the counter and pulled out large piles of papers.
"What's that?" asked Rarity. Lawrence could tell that it wasn't good from the tone of his gasp.
"Oh no this isn't good," said Greg.
"What is it?" asked Evie.
"These are the list of Paradise's Most Wanted individuals," answered Greg. "And you won't believe this but, Lawrence you're on it!" Everyone looked towards Lawrence with a shocked or nervous look.
"But I didn't do anything," said Lawrence.
"I know you didn't, I'm sure there's an explanation for this," said Greg.
"And I'll be sure to find it," said Lawrence.
"But first, eat dinner, take a shower, and go to bed, you must be really exhausted," said Greg.
'I'll take you up on that word," said Lawrence. Without anymore arguments the four of them made their way to their rooms. They had to be ready for what the future brings.
