Police Of Ponyville Episode 8: The New Recruit

by Shadow Storm 44


Let's Find Some Clues

A few moments later Star, Comet, Clover and a few more officers arrived at the house along with a couple of hospital wagons. The wounded stallion was taken to the hospital along with the twin fillies.
“Ok,” Comet said once the gang was all together. “What the heck happened here?”

“No idea.” Storm answered. “Me and Phantom were here for a Domestic. When we got here the door was already gone and we saw a trail of blood we searched the house and we find those twins.”

“I know it’s a little early for this,” Star said. “But, I feel like this was something more than a domestic.”

“I’m with you Star.” Clover jumped in. “This house wasn’t really the easiest place to find. I had to ask a pegasus to lead us here.”

“We should look over that house.” Star requested.

“Way ahead of you,” Phantom said. “While you guys were out here I took quick around and saw a receipt from a place called sugar cube corner and there were two huge tubes of acid in the bathroom.”

“Well, that should be nice maybe we could go down…” Storm suddenly stop. “Wait acid?”

“Yeah. That’s what I said.”

“What the hell is acid doing in there?” Clover asked.

“I don’t know but it couldn’t be good.”

“Alright let’s split up.” Storm ordered. “I’m going to check around a little more and then head to town hall to see what this place is. Comet, I want you to go to the train station and see if you can track down who brought that stuff here. Clover go to the hospital. Clover, try and question the twins and Star see if you can get an ID on that stallion. If he’s still alive. Phantom go to sugarcube corner and see if you can find out who bought that stuff.”

Everyone nodded and spilled up to their destinations.


“A windmill station?” Storm said looking at the paper that was given to him. “What the heck is that.”
“It’s somewhat like a fire station for windmills.” The mare said at the front desk. “When Ponyville first started using windmills they would always break pretty much every other day.”

“And they had this for each area of Ponyville?”

“No. They only had it in the North. Everywhere else was either too close to town or there wasn’t enough space.”

“I have one more question.” Storm said looking over the small paper. “What happened? Why did it close.”

The mare waited a moment before answering. “I’m honestly not too sure.” She said. “Some say it was because a bunch of workers are getting paid for doing nothing all day and when something broke, they didn’t know what to do.”

“Ok thanks.” Storm said before leaving the building.

Comet.

“I’m sorry officer.” The head coordinator of the Ponyville train station said. “But we haven’t had any shipments come in for a few days now.”

“Not from anywhere?” Comet asked.

“No. We normally get one large shipment every week but this shipment is late.”

“What’s the normal shipment come with?”

“Basic stuff. Wood, Paint and sometimes mail if the post office is to busy.”

“Great a dead end.” Comet through.

Phantom

“He was almost about my height and bit better build than me,” Mr.Cake said.

“Did he have any scars or marks of any kind?”

“Not really.”

“Ok. So let me get this straight.” Phantom said he flipped through his small notepad. “Two pegasuses one blue the other red came in here this morning along with two young foals. The foals didn’t talk and the red pegasus acted as a lookout for them.

“That’s correct,” Mr.Cake confirmed. “Normally I don’t like to think or say something about someone till I meet them. But those two seemed like pretty bad stallions. Is there something going on?”

“It’s nothing to worry about,” Phantom assured. “We just want to ask them a few questions.”

Back At The Station

“Alright.” Night called out once her “Special Task Force” had all arrived in the small room. “So I heard that we had a problem near the Northeastern. Does anyone want to get me up to speed or do I have to guess?”

“I’ll start.” Storm said. “Me and Phantom respond to a domestic at a house in the Northeastern windmills. We arrived at a house that looked to be foreclosed. We walked to the front door and found what we now believe to be a male covered in blood. I searched the inside of the house while Phantom searched the outside. In the top floor, I found two young fillies both unharmed.”

“Did you fill out a report?” Night asked once Storm had finished.

“If I did then you wouldn’t have asked me to explain.”

“That’s right.” Night smiled. “Now, you we have any leads?”

“It’s hard to say we all just got back,” Star answered. “You called us in here the second everyone got here.”

“Well now is as good a time as any,” Comet said. “I went down to both the train station and the post office. Neither one of them had any shipments come in for days on end so it couldn’t have been either one of them. The only way it could have came in is by hoof.”

“Alright.” Night acknowledged. “Well, what about the twins were they harmed?”

“No, they were fine,” Clover answered. “They just saying “Nos va a conseguir” oven and over again.”

“What does that mean?” Phantom asked.

“It will get us”. I tried talking to them but they just kept repeating that.”

“Alright, so still nothing.” Night sighed. “Well, new blood where were you?”

“I was following the lead of a recipe at the location,” Phantom answered.

“Are you gonna sit here and make me guess?”

“Well,” Phantom said pulling out a notepad. “Mr.Cake said that two stallions entered his shop this morning around 7:35 am. Both were pegasus one blue the other red both likely to be in there late 20s or early 30s. Mr.Cake didn’t see their cutie marks. He did say they seemed to be in a hurry.”

“Ok, so that’s what 45 minutes after we got that call?” Storm asked.

“Sounds about right.”

“Nice, Nice.” Night said. “So we're making progress. What about the victim?”

“I can answer that,” Star said raising his hoof like a child. “He name was Titan.”

“How do you know that?” Night asked.

“Because he’s wanted in Cloudsdale for Stalking, Second-degree murder, and the most recent one Kidnapping. Here’s his file.” Star levitated a file to Night.

Night open it and scan thought. “Yup.” She finally said. “The kidnapping charge was filed almost a week ago. This is our vic.”

“So what about the Red stallion?” Phantom asked. “You think that he did it?”

“Maybe,” Comet said. “You did say you didn’t see anyone outside the house.”
“New plan.” Night said. “Storm, Comet I want you two to make a quick trip to Cloudsdale. Give them the message that we found the foals and one of the kidnappers. Clover, go back to the hospital and see if the girls are able to talk stay there till Cloudsdale officers and their parents arrive. Phantom tag along with Clover. Star stay here and see if you can find a record of a red pegasus stallion in Ponyville or Cloudsdale.”

“Got it,” Comet said getting up. “Come on Storm let’s fly.”
