Chapter 4.The Investigation begins

Halstead and Rainbow Dash were on their way to see one of Halsteads informants.While they were driving.Rainbow Dash asked,"So.Jay.What did you do before you were a cop?"

Halstead answered,"I was an Army Ranger.I served in Afghanistan."

Rainbow Dash replied,"You were A U.S.Army Ranger?Wow.That is so awesome.I read about you guys before I first came here.I'm in the Equestrian Military myself.Well reserves actually."

Halstead then asked.What branch are you in?"

Rainbow Dash answered,"I'm with "The Wonderbolts"It's our flight demonstration team.

Halstead replied,"That sounds cool.I'd like to see you guys perform sometime."Halstead then saw his informant and said,"There's Ignacio.Let's see what he knows

Halstead then parked The GMC pick-up truck and he and the cyan pegasus exited the vehicle and walked up to the man.Halstead then said,"Ignacio."

Ignacio replied,"Ahhh.Detective Halstead.My good friend.And how are you today?"Halstead replied,"Ignacio.This is Rainbow Dash.She is an investigator from Equestria.And we need some information,but first.A hot dog with everything and a coke for me.And a veggie dog and whatever drink for my friend here.Then we need to pick your brain about anything relating to ponies from Equestria."

As they ate Ignacio spoke,"I heard some buzz about some guys saying that they did some ponies,not too long ago."

Rainbow Dash asked,"What kind of guys were they?"Ignacio answered,"Just some college kids.Frat boys.One of then had their frats t-shirt on.After Ignacio gave a discreption to Halstead and Rainbow Dash Both thank him and left to the frat house near a local college campus,

Meanwhile Ruzak and Starlight Glimmer were at the local dockyard and Ruzak came out of The Dockmasters Office.While Starlight waited outside.As soon as she saw him She asked,"Was The Dockmaster of any help?"

Ruzak replied,"No.He said no ships coming from Equestria docked here in town"In the last month.There was a cargo ship that came in from Vanhoover about 3 months ago,but it was just stuff The Equestrian community needs.I guess to make themselves comfortable."

Starlight rubbed her chin and said,"So I guess were batting a thousand.Where is this Equestrian community here in town anyway?"

Ruzak replied,"I think it's in Inglewood.Although it's a very small community."

Starlight then said,"And the ponies who live here are mostly here to study.We should check out the local community center.Maybe they might know something.And after that.I'll buy us lunch.I hear Chicago is famous for it's food.And I wanna try some of it."

Ruzak chuckled and said,"Deal.And let's hope the others are having some luck."

Back at the 21st.Voight and Dawson were in the interrigation room with the main suspect form the house.Twilight and Applejack were observing from another room.

Voight asked,"Allright.So who put those ponies in the house?"

The suspect,Clevon Johnson looked around saying nothing.Dawson then said,"Come on Clevon.You mean someone put a bunch of ponies in a house.That you and your pals sell crack out of,and you don't know anything.That's a pretty sorry answer."

Clevon replied,"Like I said man.I don't know nuthin about nuthin.especially about no damn horsies"

Voight then grabbed Clevon by the collar and shoved him against the wall and said,"They are called ponies.And four were found dead.And two more were chained to the wall in the basement."

Dawson then said,"And someone has to swing for it.It can be you,or it can be the guy who brought them,You take a little time to think about it."And both left the room.

Voight and Dawson met with Twilight and Applejack in the hallway.Voight looked at the orange Earth Pony and asked,"So.What do you think?"

Applejack replied,I think he's aholdin somethin back.Mind if I have a crack at em sarge?Voight looked at Twilight and said,Go ahead.He's all yours.Dawson returned to the interrigation room along with Applejack.

Applejack and Dawson sat down oppisite from Cleavon and Applejack said,Howdy pardner.Names Applejack.Ahh'm an investigator from Equestria.And If ya'all think yer goin ta Stateville.Well.Think again.Ya see.My leader.Princess Celestia,is very upset as ta how her subjects were treated and all.And she wants blood,pony or human blood."

Clevon asked,"What's you sayin yo?"

Applejack replied,"Our ambassador makes a request to ya'alls State Department for yer extradition to Equestria.Where ya'all be tried and convicted.And sentenced to death.Now let me tell ya how that's gonna work.First.Ya'all get dragged to the execution site.and then yer hanged by the neck till yer almost dead.And then stretched till yer joints almost pop.Then yer put on a table.And that's when the real fun begins.First they cut ya open and rip out yer inards and cut off yer privates and throw it all in the fire.And then ya git yer hands and arms and feet and legs cut off.And they save yer head fer last.So ya'all don't miss a thing."

Dawson then winced and said,"Man.That doesn't sound like a good way to go,but,if you don't wanna talk,and keep playing your little game.Remember just as the ax comes down.I tried to help you."

Voight looked at Twilight and asked,"Does Equestria really execute that way??"

Twilight replied,"Yes,but it's hardly ever used.The last time was about thirty years before I was born.Some goat named Grogar was trying to raise an army of the dead.And we always hire a Griffon to conduct the execution.They know how cut flesh."

Voight said,"I guess thats why there's so little crime in Equestria."Just as Twilight was about to respond there was a noise from the interrigation room.

Clevon yelled,"YO!!I DON'T WANNA GET MY STUFF CUT OFF!!!"

Dawson then said "Then you had better start talkin.Or next stop for you is an Equeastrian courtoom.And your execution.Soon as scared as he was Cleavon gave up the man who stored the ponies in the crackhouse.
