STORM AND COMET
“You found them?” A light yellow pegasus with white mane asked. “You really found them.”
“Ms, please calm down,” Comet said from the other room. “My partner is talking to the other investigators right now.”
“Are these the filly you found?” A Cloudsdale detective asked showing Storm a picture.
“That’s them.” Storm confirmed. “How long have they been missing?”
“Almost a week.” He said. “Everyone came together to find them. Do you have any information on the pegasus who took them?”
“Kind of.” Storm answered. “I’m pretty sure you might know the name, Titan.”
“Oh, yea.” He said rolling his eyes. “That guy has been a problem here for years. When he left we throw a party. That was short lived when we could find those files.”
“Did you find anything on the red stallion?” Storm asked.
“No.” He said, “We're still looking.” The detective walked over to his desk. On his desk he had a nameplate White Thunder was on it. “In the meantime, I’m putting together a small team so that we can help you find him. If he was a pegasus them it’s a good chance that he came from here.”
“Right.” Storm agreed. “Besides, we would have found there I’D long ago if they were in Ponyville.”
Right after Storm finished he suddenly got a pain sliding headache out of nowhere. This could be one of two things. He had gotten a headache out of nowhere or Star was trying to contact him.
This was something Star always did when he needed to get a hold of Storm. He started using this for when they had to split up or Star had a strange question for Storm.
“STORM I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU. ARE YOU STILL AT CLOUDSDALE?”
“Yeah, can you please calm down you give me a killer headache every time you do this spell.”
“Sorry. Look I found out who that red pegasus was. His name is Crimson. It said that he was born in Cloudsdale and then he moved into Ponyville for work.”
“OK. What kind of work?” Storm acknowledged.
“Because you said that the windmill station closed down years ago. Plus, it was really well hidden from the rest of town. The only ponies who would know about this are ponies who are lived around the windmill station or the workers.”
“Shit.” Storm whispered to himself. “He used to work there didn’t he?”
“Yup.”
“Alright, get some backup and go back to the windmill station. Tear that place apart. Flip the couch, take down the walls, rip off the floorboards. If you find the slightest thing that wasn’t there when we were there keep it for evidence.”
“Don’t we need a warrant to open to do that?” Star asked.
“When has that ever stopped us?”
“You got a point. Star out.”
“Storm?” Lighting asked. “Are you ok.”
“I’m fine. I need to tell you something.”
Storm then told Lighting about everything that they found when he first went into the windmill station. From the acid to the name of the red pegasus.
“Crimson.” Lighting whispered. “That is one sick bastard.”
“So you’ve dealt with him before?” Storm asked.
“Oh yeah.” Lighting said nodding. “We got him for a number of other things he was a total psychopath. When we found out he left town it was like a gift from the gods themselves.”
“That bad huh?”
“Very. The only reason he left was that he got ran out of town by us.” Lighting sighed and looked at a picture on his desk. “By the way. Where are those twins?”
“There at the hospital. We wanted to give them a full checkup before we transported them here.”
“Is somebody watching them?” He asked a bit uneasy. “Crimson could come back for them. He’s pretty much the definition of a red flag.”
“Don’t worry Thunder.” Storm reassured. “The filly are in good hoofs.” And claws.
“Thunder.” A pegasus barged in. “There’s something going on at Ponyville Hospital.”
“Alright.” Thunder got up from his desk. “Let’s get over there."
AT THE HOSPITAL
Ponyville hospital was like any other hospital. It was bigger than other small town hospitals should be and it had a low number of nurses. If that wasn’t strange enough the hospital was located near the northwest border of town. Which was pretty far from town and in case someone had an emergency.
Phantom was on guard duty. He waited outside the door of the room where the two fillies were. Clover was inside with him. Phantom was in the room as well at one point. He soon left and waited outside. They all were talking in Spanish. Phantom hated listening to another language he didn’t understand. It always gave him a headache.
“How are the girls?” Phantom asked when Clover came out of their room. She kept the door open with a back hoof.
“They're fine,” Clover replied. “They really wanted to see their Mom and Dad.”
“I would to if I was taken away from my town brought to another town thinking I was about to die.”
“You're a ray of sunshine you know that?” Clover smiled.
“I’ve been told.” Phantom returned the smile. “Any word from others? It’s been awhile.”
Clover shakes her head. “I haven’t heard anything from Comet or Storm but I bet they’ll be here soon. Star, on the other hand, I have no idea.”
“Nothing much. I either get looked at or I’m just ignored.”
“At least you don’t have to play I spy in a hospital room with two young fillies. Let me know if anything comes up.”
“You got it.”
Clover smiled and when back into the room.
Phantom sighed as he continued on lookout duty. As much as he tried, however, he couldn’t get his mind off Clover. She was the only one who seemed to welcome him into town. There’s a good chance that her other friends were friendly as well. He just didn’t have enough time to meet with them.
Suddenly a loud crash followed by screams came from the room.
Without thinking Phantom charged in the room. Inside there was glass everywhere along with a huge brick in the middle of the room. Outside the window was a red pegasus flying right in front of the window outside. When he saw Phantom he turned flew away.
“Clover!” Phantom shouted. He walked through the small corridor in the room and saw Clover in a corner of the room holding the two fillies, using her body as a shield.
“I’m fine.” She said getting up. “Go after him I’ll call it in.”
“Right!” Phantom said jumping out the window and started to chase the pegasus.
