The Deputy that was mention was Investigating the crime scene, he had already bagged up Limestone’s and Maud’s corpses with magic; they needed to be investigated thoroughly. He was accompanied by a detective, who’s a brown coat Unicorn. His mane and tail were short, smooth, and not brushy.
“Why do you think anypony would do this detective?”
He turned his head to the detective, curious about the answer he’s about to hear. The detective’s voice is narrow and a little low toned.
”I do believe it would be for bits. If you remember everything you heard on your walkie-talkie, you would have heard they were still in the house behind us; this means they were lured outside by somepony or something?”
The detective was no dummy. He has been in college for about 10 years now; still takes other classes that are irrelevant to his job the deputy keep telling him. Not all his classes are irrelevant to his job?
“Well... If you remember the injuries we recorded, a knife was used. I don’t think somepony would kill themselves by puncturing a knife as big as it looks, into their bottom jaw. Also, where’s the knife? Surely if it was suicide it would be at least next to them? There’s lots of evidence to support this was a homicide Also, it seems unlikely for multiple individuals to kill themselves when they were bonding, the same knife was used and if we go along with a weapon is a killer’s best friend then surely they take it with them, but to me it seems he wants to be caught because he left the bodies in a open field, we might be dealing with a killer that wants attention? The killer also seemed to use the knife on Limestone Pie first since she only had one stab on her, with tear of her skin from the knife. Maud on the other hand had bruises on her which means she fought back against the killer. She was second to die.”
He moved his head left and right, searching for the weapon the killer may have left, which since this was an open feild he would not fail to see it, there’s not knife left around, which means he still has it.
(”Why do I get put with a smart-!)”
The deputy thought to himself, annoyed by the detective. The Pie couples arrived on the scene, they were tired from all the running they have done today. They know it’s not going to end yet, they’re being doing a lot of running around today.
“Wonderful, you’ve made it just in time.”
The detective said. Pulling out a notepad and a pen, bitting the cap off with his teeth. He was going to take note of every little detail.
“I need you to tell me everything that happened this morning, I know you just lost love ones, but to make this killer pay and bring the hammer of justice down upon them, I need all the knowledge I can.”
The detective said, bossing the couple; they had to deal with an incident at the station, and now this?
“I’ll explain, but please, stop talking like that.”
The detective was a little puzzled to hear victims tell him to stop talking “like that.” He was trying to help them. Whatever... Duty calls.
“Alright I’m going to relapse on what happened today, you ready?”
“Yup.”
He moved his hoof out towards them and pointed it vertically up. The detective grabbed his pen and pulled the cap off with his teeth again, he keeps putting the cap back on, it’s a habit for him, since pens lose their ink after exposure to the air for awhile.

The deputy fell asleep after the first five minutes; most of the information was pointless details. He should’ve still listened to the details. The detective saw the deputy napping and tossed his pen cap at him; hitting him in the forehead. He was shocked and angered. He brushed it off and Searches for the third body they thought had been around here for a while, decaying, but that would take a very long time.
---
“Thanks for the splendid information! I’m sure my co-workers will find this despicable Assassin!”
He said with an excited smile. The deputy arrived back with another body-shaped bag levitating in the air by magic.
“When did you-!”
The detective was cut off by his partner. He got bored and decided to scope around the area.
“When you were obtaining useful information.”
The deputy said with sarcasm before making a hearty laughed. The deputy Walked past the couple and facing Ponyville. Cloudy Started to uncontrollably weep; she’d known who was in that bag. Why would anypony want here dead? She was too shy and nice to be wanted dead. Igneous accompanied his sobbing wife. The deputy turned and walked in their direction, the detective had to think hardly what he was going to tell them.
“It’s not your fault or his; you’ve done something to prevent it if you could’ve.”
He said in a calming compassionate tone. He felt sympathy, but he knows he has to keep cool at work. He was trained throughout life to be resilient and to stay professional no matter the circumstances.
“Yes! Yes! It is! We shouldn’t have gone to the store!”
She turned her head up to Igneous; eyes full of tears. If there was a dam in holding her tears, it was broken and it burst, allowing all the tears she has to flow down her cheek.
“Maybe if we waited a little sooner-!”
The detective advanced his way to the couple, standing aside from the deputy.
“I do believe it’s an assassin who committed this massacre; I still think even with you two by their side, with magic, especially since he teleported to Marble Pie unless he super fast, he would have got them sooner or later. It grieves me to say this to your couple. I’m sorry. I’ll do my best to find this so call assassin and he’ll pay for his transgressions.”
Cloudy and Igneous was a little annoyed and angered that the deputy said they couldn’t make a deference in their daughters’ deaths. The detective had a sorrowful expression on his face, he looked as if he was going to cry. He turned his attention to Ponyville’s sight.
“Please don’t take justice into your own hoofs, depart that to us authorities. I would suggest some good rest for your mental state. It’s pointless to accuse an innocent pony and take justice upon them.”
The couple thought of obtaining justice against the perpetrator, thanks to the deputy’s words, that idea was brushed away. Good rest did sound nice after all. The deputy turned parallel to the detective. Staring at the direction Ponyville’s police station was in.
“I need to have the coroner perform the autopsy, let’s go deputy.”
The detective said with a bossy tone. The detective started running to Ponyville’s police station. The deputy turned to the couple, planning to give them an apology.
“My partner can’t cope with emotion, sorry if he offended you with his smart attitude.”
Cloudy was back on four hoofs. She felt better. She only wishes the circumstances were the same.
“No, it’s alright.”
Igneous said friendly. They treated his family well. Igneous had high hopes they would find and arrest the perpetrator of the crime.
“I’ll be off now, stay safe!”
With a quick turn; he ran after the detective; he’ll meet up with him at the police station. The body bags levitating at the equivalent speed. The couple opened the door to the house and walked in; making sure to grab the groceries bags by the door they left. They put them away in their environments so their stayed good and safe, the milk was the only grocery needed to go into the fridge, as they were doing this, a thought passes both of their subconscious, Pinkamena’s safety.
“Wait! Do you think they would the killer would be hired to kill Pinkie Pie next if it’s an assassin?”
Cloudy said with concern and anxiety in her voice. What if the killer is after the whole Pie family? What if he’s stalking them right now!? These thoughts gave Cloudy shivers.
“I hope not. I think she’ll be safe in Ponyville for now. I’d say we should go check on her after a brief rest, for my age, I’m not sure if I can take much more stress.”
Cloudy wanted to check on her one remaining daughter, but she’d known she’d succumb come to her mental and physical fatigue. She accepts the offer to rest.
“I agree.”
Cloudy said, letting a yawn out. The couple would take some rest on their beds; after eating their first meals of today, they needed to eat but it wasn’t big as it was a snack. This day could’ve been way better? Only if they stayed home and didn’t go shopping for later, thier daughters’ might still be alive? They could’t keep thinking and worrying about it, they were moreover exhausted, both physically and mentally to start theorizing about saving their daughters’ lives if they stayed here with them. For now, they will rest, and after, check up on Pinkamena Diana Pie, they hopes she stays safe.
