Twilight had been flying west towards Canterlot as quickly as she could in hopes of catching up with Silver Shield. She wasn't sure if he was going to head to the crime lab first. She had her concerns that if he went to the crime lab first, that Silver Spoon might be able to escape but if he took Silver Spoon to jail first, that something may happen to the evidence that may make it unusable.
Once she got up to Canterlot, she was able to track Silver Shield down right as he was pulling up to the crime lab. She saw that he still had Silver Spoon with him. Once he got out of the police cruiser Twilight landed and said, "Oh good, I caught up with you. I figured it would be best if I'm with you when you take her in so I can press assault charges against her."
Silver Shield replied, "Alright and since you're here, you can keep an eye on her while I take the evidence into the lab."
Twilight agreed, "That sounds good to me. After all, we can't have her in here alone in the event somepony was to try and free her."
Silver Shield nodded, grabbed the evidence and headed into the crime lab while Twilight got in the front seat. At first there was an uncomfortable silence until Silver Spoon pleaded, "Please Princess Twilight, please don't press assault charges against me." She began to sob as she continued, "Think about my children, especially Sweetie. They will be devastated without me and my business could go under if I'm not there to run it."
Twilight at first ignored her until she cried further, "Please Twilight, think about my family."
Twilight sighed in frustration, "Look, you assaulted a police officer AGAIN and you assaulted a princess. If you are allowed to get away with this, you'll just keep it up."
Twilight then went silent as Silver Spoon again began to cry loudly. When Silver Shield returned to the cruiser Twilight asked, "So how long is it going to take to get the results?"
The officer replied, "They said a week at the most." He paused for a moment before pointing back and adding, "Has she been doing that the whole time?"
Twilight answered with a smile, "Yes she has but once we get her in jail maybe she will shut up." She paused before laughing, "I hope so because she'll drive everypony else, even the other inmates, up the wall!"
Silver Spoon screamed, "If you were in my situation you'd be crying too!"
Both Silver Shield and Twilight ignored the comment as Silver Shield was driving the cruiser to the police station. Luckily for the two it was only half a mile away so they didn't have to put up with too much of her crying. Once they reached the station the two got out of the cruiser while Silver Shield headed back to the back seat and opened the door. He unfastened the belt and ordered, "Up-up Silvy. We can't take all day."
The mentioning of that nickname caused Silver Spoon to begin crying again. She resisted when he was trying to pull her out of the cruiser but would stop when Twilight grasped her in her aura. He gave Twilight a smile, "Thanks, I thought she might try to escape."
Twilight replied, "No problem, just trying to make everypony's lives easier."
Once they got Silver Spoon out, they took her to the back side of the station and led her in as they do with all ponies who are being jailed. Once they got her inside, the jailer commented, "Brought another one in I see." He was shocked though when he saw Twilight was there too. He bowed and added, "Your Majesty, what brings you here?"
Twilight replied, "For right now this can't be discussed but with any luck, we can get this one into court, present the evidence to the judge and then get her locked up."
Silver Shield uncuffed her and the jailer got her locked up. He then turned to Twilight and suggested, "How about we head up to the DA's office and let him know what is going on so charges can be pressed."
Twilight replied, "Sounds like a plan, you lead the way."
The two headed towards the elevators and before they got out of eye shot, Twilight looked back and gave Silver Spoon a smile before turning forwards. The smile angered Silver Spoon to the point where she yelled, "Oh you're just loving this aren't you Twilight?"
The jailer yelled, "Could you be quiet? Such yelling is not allowed in here."
Silver Spoon sighed in frustration and sat down on a bench. Being locked up in that cell brought back so many memories for her, bad memories. Visions of her shoving Sweetie Belle and then being locked up flashed before her before visions of her getting sentenced to a year in prison. For so long life was going wonderful for her but now she was beginning to see the darkness of her past creeping back into her life.
As she sat there, so many thoughts were running through her mind. She began to think that everything that had happened to her was some sort of plot to ruin her life. She believed that the murder of her father and the evidence was planted by either Twilight or someone close to her. She also believed that the cop and Twilight said things to cause her to shove them and then she said to herself, "It has to be Sweetie Belle. They're all on her side and want to help her ruin my life."
Once Twilight and Silver Shield got up to the fifth floor, they headed towards the DA's office. The mare at the desk said, "Princess Twilight, officer, how can I help you?"
Twilight replied, "Well both of us need to speak to the district attorney. We need to file charges against a pony who assaulted both of us."
The clerk nodded and yelled back, "Legal Eagle, there are two ponies here who need to speak to you about filing assault charges."
He yelled back, "Alright, send them back."
The two headed back and when he saw who was there, what he thought would be just a random filing became much more. He turned to Twilight, "Princess Twilight, who in their right mind would assault you? I thought you were loved by all."
Twilight replied, "Well it involved a serious crime that happened in Ponyville, one that I was helping Silver Shield gather evidence for and in the questioning of who would be considered a pony of interest by you guys."
Silver Shield added, "She was in the station with me during their questioning and well, one of them shoved me and her. Right now that pony is down in the jail until we decide on what to do regarding her shoving us."
Legal Eagle asked, "Do you have this individual shoving you two on tape?"
Silver Shield replied, "It was captured on camera and if you'll let me borrow your computer, I can log into the station's surveillance system and show you what happened earlier today."
Legal Eagle motioned for him to come to his side of the desk and requested, "Come and show me. With any luck, you can show me this, we can get this pony before the judge and have this taken care of."
Silver Shield joined him and logged into the station's surveillance system and showed him the events of the day. He was shocked when he saw the events that went down, especially given who it was that assaulted them. He gasped, "Wait a minute, isn't she the same one that assaulted a police officer up here in the past?"
Silver Shield replied, "She is."
Legal Eagle said, "Well since we can access this here, we can access it in the courtroom computer as well. Let me contact the judge and see when we can hold court." He then picked up the phone, dialed a few numbers and waited for it to be picked up.
It was not long until it was answered.
"Hello, Judge Swift Justice speaking."
"Your Honor, this is Legal Eagle and we have clear as day evidence of a crime that was committed by a pony we currently have in custody."
"I'm assuming it is one on video that you want me to hold court over as soon as possible?"
"Yes. I do want to let you know one thing though, Princess Twilight is up here as she was one of the individuals assaulted."
*gasps* "Alright, meet me in courtroom two at four with the pony in custody. Assaulting a princess is a serious crime that must be punished ASAP."*CLICK*
Once the phone call was finished, the DA said, "Well, it is three. Let's go down and get this pony and get this taken care of. With any luck we can get him or her sentenced before the day is over."
Twilight said, "Oh and just so you know, there is evidence in the crime lab right now that may tie her to a triple murder down in Ponyville so if you could get her time to be served up here, it would be easier on all of us."
Legal Eagle replied, "Ok, normally assault convictions like this would wind up in them getting sent to the minimum security jail in Ponyville but hopefully Swift Justice will sentence her to the medium security prison up here instead."
Silver Shield commented, "I certainly hope so. Having to transport her back and forth if the evidence does lead to her going to trial would become very costly."
Twilight added, "And I know the taxpayers would not like that at all."
Once the three got to the elevators, they began to head down to the jail. While Legal Eagle simply viewed this as another assault case, Silver Shield and Twilight felt differently. Silver Shield hoped that this would make the lives for everypony easier by having her in custody in the event the DNA tests tied her to the crime. Twilight however was hoping that maybe this would be the way to get her friends to see that Silver Spoon was no angel and that this was their chance to purge her from Ponyville at least for a while.
