As Alope felt the mare go still in his hooves he let her fall to the ground.  He was out of stealthbucks and would need to blend in if he was to get his hooves on Red Eye's coffee supply.  He carefully tied up and removed the armor of the unconscious mare, before locking her up in the closet.  While she was part of Red Eye's army, what he had seen below told him, she may not have any other choice than do his bidding.  In truth, he felt sorry for her.

He stilled his emotions and thoughts as he strapped the raider armor into place.  He made a mental note to take a shower when he got home.  He then put on the act that he was a badass, not too far from how he usually acted, but he had to hide his disgust for the raiders.  He was not here to assassinate them, at least not at the moment.

He made it nearly 2 more floors of the Filly MoM hub before he realized he had no idea where to look for the coffee.  Being a rare commodity in the wastes, he figured Red Eye would keep it close to his residence.   He figured, it had to be up as this floor was more geared towards science.

Two more floors later he was beginning to feel anxious,  most of the ponies he's encountered avoided eye contact and did not ask why he was there, but he knew from experience, somepony would question him eventually.

"Hey, you!" a griffon shouted as he turned a corner, "What are you doing here?"

Alope scrambled to find an appropriate lie, "I... uh was looking for the kitchen... to uh... make Red Eye his breakfast." He stammered.

"You new?" the griffon asked, giving him a look over.

"Yeah, just got here." He continued, "Was told to make the big man's breakfast."

"Well, follow me." she said as she turned into another stairwell.

Alope followed her to the next floor, which was an entire kitchen.  Unlike most parts of the building it had been recently cleaned.  Alope's eyes scanned the room for possible places to store the wonderful beverage.

"Hey, Hatchet, got you another cook." the griffon said, "show him how to make Red Eye's meal."

The pony with the cutie mark of a eye being stabbed grunted, "I hate newbies."

At this time Alope was just waiting for the other hoof to drop and his ruse be found out, he had to find the coffee fast.

"I'll start on the drink," Alope suggested, "How does he like his coffee?"

Hatchet gave him a flat look, "You must be new, everypony knows Red Eye only drinks green tea."

Alope began to levitate his shotgun, he was gonna burn the fowl tasting herb water to the ground!
