Twilight drank the liquid and said,This is pretty good.Nothing like Applejacks Cider.That stuff packs a wallop. Voight replied,I'll stick to scotch. Twilight then asked,So when can we talk to Mongo again?? Voight replied.Maybe in a couple of days.Right now.He's lookin at Attempted murder of Police Officers.Possesion of an Automatic Weapon.And being a felon in possesion of a firearm.As well as Traffcking in Sentient Species.Once he realizes he's looking at decades behind bars.He'll crack like an egg. Twilight said,I should have put a truth spell on him.He would have talked. Voight replied,You can't do that in this country.His lawyer would have had the whole case tossed. Twilight then said,Oh yeah.Your countries constitution.I'm still learning about you people,and culture. Just then Voights phone rang.oight answered,Intelligence.Sergeant Voight.What.Dammit.When??Where is he??On our way. After Voight hung up the phone.Twilight asked,What's up Hank?? Voight answered,Mongo just got set on fire in his cell at Cook County Jail.He was transported the The Burn Unit over at Med.They don't think he's gonna survive the night.Let's go.And bring Fluttershy. Twilight and Voight got Fluttershy and headed to Chicago Med.When they got there they went to The Burn Unit spoke to the deputy assinged to Mongo.Voight Identified himself and the two ponies. Voight then asked,What happened?? The deputy replied,Whittle was in his cell,when two inmates squirted gasoline on him and lit him up. Dr.Ethan Choi.then enter the ward. After Voight introduced Dr.Choi to Twilight and Flutershy.He asked,So Doc.How is Whittle?? Choi replied,Very bad Sergeant.Third degree burns over 98% of his body.Most of the soft tissue is gone.We put him on a morphine drip,but he won't make it through the night. Twiligh asked,Dr.Choi.Does he know he is going to die?? Dr Choi nodded and said,Yes he knows. Voight then asked,Can we talk to him??He's a suspect in a case we're working. Choi replied,If you wanna talk to him.I would do it now.The morphine should take effect soon. Voight looked at Fluttershy and said,Fluttershy.I want you to talk to him.I'm gonna call Antonio and send him to Cook County and find out how this happened and why. The yellow Pegasus nodded and went into the room where Mongo was being held. Fluttershy saw Mongo was still alive and went up to him and gently held his bandaged hand in her hoof and said,My name is Fluttershy.And I work for The Equestrian Govornment.I know you did something wrong to other ponies,but I forgive you.And I'm sure Princess Celestia will forgive you,But I know you know you are going to die.And before you go to meet your god.You should clean your soul before facing him.It's the right thing to do. As Voight and Twilight were watching the scene play out.Voight got in touch with Dawson and sent him and the team to Cook County Jail.
