It was a little bit after nine o'clock in the morning the following day as I waited in the C & J detective agency for Miss Anita Stormchaser, the reporter from the Los Ungulas Chronicle, to arrive. But to my surprise, another mare came to the C&J detective agency; to my delight, this mare was a beautiful light pink Alicorn mare with moderate violet, moderate rose, and pale gold streaked mane and tail. Her curvy 5ft 9in equine figure was attired in a pastel green floral-print jacket and pastel blue necklace dress.
Her light pink elegant long Alicorn legs were bare, and on her ten-inch, long attractive delicate pink slim bare feet with dusty rose pink toenail polish were black T-strap closed-toed strappy sandals with kitten heels. Folded on her back were her medium-sized light pink feathery bird wings. This Alicorn mare was my dearest Miss Cadence Aperture partner in the C&J detective agency.
“Cadence!? Went did you arrive in Los Ungulas?" I asked her as I stood up from my desk and hugged my dear mare.
"My flight from San Pranciscolt arrived ahead of schedule in Los Ungulas. I was going to surprise you at our apartment. But went I arrived at our home, you were not home. So I put my luggage in my room and figured you might be at our detective agency.” Cadence explains as she returns my hug and kisses me on my lips.
"I am sorry for spoiling your surprise, my dear mare," I said, apologizing as I led my dear Cadence over to the desk so she could sit down on it, which she knew right away meant I had a case to bring her up to speed on.
"All right, Justice, brings me up to speed with the case you are working on?" Cadence asked as she hopped onto the desk and crossed her long Alicorn legs, one knee tossed casually over the other to be brought up to speed.
Once Cadence was comfortable in her place on top of the desk, I reached over. I unbuckled her sandal before removing it, revealing her slenderly, gracefully rounded, gorgeous-shaped light pink barefoot with dusty rose pink colored toenail polish. As I brought her up to speed with the case, I caressed the supple and soft, luscious satiny smooth, light pink sole of her slenderly, gracefully rounded, gorgeous-shaped barefoot. I felt the very effortless creases give away under the gentle pressure of my hand upon her light pink barefoot with dusty rose pink colored toenail polish.
"(Sigh contently), so this case started with some pony in Prance trying to steal a bag of costume Jewelry from Miss Rarity Radiance. Then that same bag was stolen in Los Ungulas by some pony. You got it back for Rarity, and later that night, a Cat burglar broke into her apartment trying to steal the same bag of costume Jewelry. But left empty-handed from Rarity's apartment." Cadence recaps as I start to caress her five slightly plump elegant and dynamic slender long toes with dusty rose pink colored toenail polish on her naked foot.
"Then the LUPD was called to the apartment to investigate the break-in our detective agency got involved. The LUPD treated Rarity like the one that set this whole thing up for attention which angered Rarity to no end.” Cadence explains as I started to tickle her shapely and graceful toe stems with my fingers causing her slightly plump elegant, and dynamic slender long toes to splay on her naked foot.
"As Emerald and you left her apartment, you encountered a Pegasus mare cleaning pony who was a little too interested in both of you leaving the apartment. (Devious smile forms on her lips) so after some underhanded persuasion, you learned that the Pegasus mare cleaning pony was investigating reporter Anita Stormchaser for the Los Ungulas Chronicle, looking for a story to write in the paper." Cadence finished as she stretched her equine neck out and kissed me on my lips, enjoying me manipulating her susceptible Alicorn bare foot like that.
Meanwhile, in the Los Ungulas field office of the International Police Force building leaning against her desk in the Criminal Investigation Bureau, was a distinguished-looking American short-haired female cat morph with shoulder-length chocolate brown hair and medium length tail sticking out a hole in the back of her dress. Her athletic 5ft 11in feline figure was attired in cream color embellished flapper cocktail dress.
Black Grecian sandals were on her wickedly gorgeous and exquisite curvy and slender chocolate brown well cared for four-toed pawed feet. This chocolate brown female cat morph was International police force Detective Inspector Godiva White a cat morph from the Capital City of Panthera in Abyssinia.
‘For six months that Detective Constable in Pearis field office of International Police force has investigated the robbery of that shipment of precious gems that the syndicates did and came up with nothing! Now there is a report of high altitude robbery at an apartment here in town!’ Godiva thought, driving her painted retractable claws through the newspaper on the table into her desk as she released a prolonged hiss.
Sitting on her desk was an open criminal file; it details the exploits of a daring high-altitude cat Burglar that has robbed several high-profile targets over the years. Most targets have been of questionable morals and fortunes, and this cat burglar has yet to be identified. The robbery at Rarity's apartment sounds like the job of this cat burglar, but it doesn't fit the Modus Operandi, a target of questionable morals and fortunes.
Rarity makes no secret that she worked her tail off to get where she is and the fortunes she amassed. Plus, she also funds many charitable foundations to help those in need. She also strongly connects to Tycoon Susan Shimmering Diamond Silverlight through her son Dilettante Justice Silverlight. Those two mares are well-liked by the ordinary ponies and secret kept in disdain by the upper class, who believe that their fortune will keep growing forever and beyond.
Meanwhile, at the wayward star hotel in downtown West Applewood sitting in a small rented room, was an angelic-looking American short-haired female cat morph with shoulder length cream colored hair and a lengthy medium tail sticking out a hole in the back of her dress. Her sleek 5ft 6in feline figure was attired in a pink knee-length vintage wrap dress.
On her wickedly gorgeous and exquisite curvy and slender cream colored well, cared four-toed pawed feet were black open-toe sparkly dancing shoes with a three-inch heel. This cream-colored female cat morph was tight rope walker and Daredevil Irene Barrow, a cat morph performer from the second largest city in the country of Abyssinia Megakat city.
A week ago, since she arrived in Los Ungulas with her circus troupe, Miss Barrow had been planning for her tightrope act at the Applewood Bowl in griffon park with her circus troupe.
“Huh!” Irene exclaimed as she reached for a glass of the fine milk in all of Equestria. And noticed the morning paper she brought with her back to her room after finishing her breakfast with some other circus performers to check the weather report for the circus performance later today.
“A daring high altitude robbery was committed early this week at the Sunspots luxurious hotel; the target of the theft was well-known Fashion Designer Rarity Radiance. The Los Ungulas Chronicle has reached out to Officer third class Hitch Trailblazer for comment about the crime. But Officer Trailblazer has yet to respond to the request of this paper." Irene reads aloud as her lilac-colored feline-shaped eyes blink with incredulity, and several other circus performers burst into the room with their faces glazed with shock at the story in the paper of the robbery.
“Guys and gals, I can reassure you that I didn’t break into Fashion Designer Rarity Radiance's apartment here in Los Ungulas. Besides, those robberies are a team effort; we only target those that have used underhand ways to get rich. All the research we did on Miss Radiance doesn't fit our criterion. She worked hard to get where she is and the fortunes she amassed." Irene explains reassuring as it calms the fears of the rest of the circus troupe about the robbery mentioned in the paper.
In the office of LUPD Chief of Police, sitting behind the desk, was a crazed-looking lovely golden brown unicorn mare with jet black mane and tail. Her athletic 6ft 3in equine figure was attired in the navy blue skirt uniform of the Chief of police of LUPD. On her head, between her ears behind her horn, was a navy blue peaked cap with the gold emblem of the LUPD.
On her sensuous elegant, and pleasing golden brown voluptuous bare feet with burgundy red nail polish on her beautiful elegant and refined toes were black narrow T-strap dress pumps with two-and-one-half inch flapper heels. This unicorn mare was Chief of Police Jamila Nebula, the newly appointed police chief for the City of Los Ungulas, after the original Chief of Police was charged with corruption.
After the arrest, the former Chief of Police sang like a bird naming all the corrupt officials in the City Of Los Ungulas city government to the Equestrian Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice. After a year of tireless investigation by the Equestrian Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice, the Equestrian government moved quickly and secretly arrested every corrupt official in the City government.
This decisive action left the only non-corrupt official, Mayor Rebecca Mare, with many empty department seats that needed to be filled, forcing her to call for a special election to fill those seats. Even before the arrest was finalized, the former Chief of Police of LUPD, Senior Security agent three Jamila Nebula of the International Police force, stepped forward to take over the position of Chief of Police of LUPD.
With Jamila impressive resume as an agent in the International Police Force, Mayor Rebecca Mare appointed her to the position of Chief of Police. Once in that position, Jamila began cleaning the remaining corruption out of the Los Ungulas police department. By that time, most of the corrupt officers had resigned from the force went the Chief of police was arrested, fearing that they would be the next target of the EBI investigation.
Those that didn't fear that situation soon found themselves in the crosshairs of the New Chief of Police with her connection to the International Police Force and Equestrian Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Justice; they found themselves with a nice new pair of silver bracelets.
(One year before Rarity Radiance returned to Los Ungulas why Cadence was away from the apartment)
(A knock on the apartment door)
"Huh? Aunt Jamila?" I said, a bit puzzled seeing my Aunt Jamila Nebula wearing the navy blue uniform of LUPD Chief of Police standing in the hallway of our apartment building.
"Greetings, nephew. I am here to officially ask you and your partner, Cadence Aperture, to return to the Los Ungulas Police Department at the rank of Police Detective third class and Police Detective second class." Jamila's voice was wooden, distant as I gestured to my aunt inside our apartment so we could talk more privately without every pony listing in with our conversation.
"You already know my answer, Aunt Jamila, or why would your voice be so sad about it," I said as she sat on the chair on end, and I sat down on the sofa.
"Of course, I know, nephew…But still, that story was a stain on our family name. Even those I knew it was all a lie like your mother and sisters. There was nothing I could do to correct it, Justice. It was not an International Police Force case to get involved with.” Jamila explained with a deepening hue of shame formed on her snout.
"It fines auntie…all that is in the past. But anyway, would you like to visit me? It has been a while since my Aunt Jamila visited me as family.” As I saw the noticeable change in her demeanour, she snapped her fingers, changing her uniform into a red wine-colored tea-length party dress and black diamond T-strap pumps with one and three-fourths-inch heels.
"I would love to, nephew; I am officially off duty," Jamila said, cheerful as she floated the teacup off the tray into her hand and started our visit. Until Cadence returned home, I introduced my Aunt Jamila to her, a member of my family she had never met before.
(Back to the present)
"Officer, third class Trailblazer! Why in the hay are you talking to the press!? Did I need to make my instruction perfectly clear! No talking to the press without my authorization!" Chief of Police Jamila Nebula said hotly, floating the newspaper story in her magical bubble in front of him.
"Chief? How was I supposed to know that I was talking to a reporter? She looked like a harmless cleaning pony mare from the hotel?" Hitch explains as he had an elaborately casual expression on his snout as it enraged Jamila.
"I suggest, Mr. Trailblazer, you leave my office before I toss you out with my telekinesis!" Jamila said, warning as her two-foot-long spiral horn sparked to life with her mystic energy, and Hitch ran out of the office as the door slammed closed behind him.
"A little trouble in your ranks, Miss Nebula?" A calm mares voice says from the shadows as a pair of dark cyan-colored eyes appear in the darkness.
“No! And why is the EBI interested in an International Police Force case?" Jamila inquiries as heels clicking in the darkness can be heard walking about.
"The same reason the International Police Force is trying to solve the same case." The mare's voice said as her dark cyan-colored eyes blinked incredulity at Jamila.
"Horse feathers! I don't think the EBI would endanger two of their best deep-undercover agents to recover stolen war gems. Those gems were stolen from the Midnight castle early on during the war. They disappeared went the war ended and reappeared years later up for auction in Prance. After being brought by the Sabble Arabia royal family, they were stolen by some pony. Sabble Arabia royal family denied buying them, knowing they were war gems." Jamila explains as her celestial blue eyes narrow with contempt toward dark cyan-colored eyes.
"That's quite the look you are giving me, Miss Jamila Silverlight. Your maiden name, if I am not mistaken." As it stopped in front of the sofa, the mare voice said, Jamila's face glazed with shock.
"So you know my maiden name," Jamila said, her voice edged with tension as she calmed herself.
"So, agent that still doesn't tell me why the EBI is interested?" Jamila said smoothly as some pony sitting on the sofa could be heard.
"My-my-my, that's a quick change of mood Miss Silverlight." The mare voice said as the dark cyan colored eyes blinked with surprise.
"My family has always been swift to change. Besides that, I think I know why EBI is interested." Jamila said, raising her eyebrows superciliously toward the other mare on the sofa.
"Oh, do tell, Miss Silverlight? Why is the EBI interested?" the mare asked as it puffs up with self-importance.
"The EBI is interested because they suspect that syndicates are the ones that had the war gem stolen. But with all their intelligence, they don't know which one did it. Am I right, Miss Borealis?" Jamila said as Luna gulped air furiously with her identity being known by Miss Silverlight.
"I am dead now." Luna's voice shrills with horror.
"Oh, calm yourself, Miss Borealis; I have a silent spell on this room. That I control with a little magic button hidden inside my shoe." Jamila explains, tossing her shoe over to Luna, who catches it and sees the magic button on the sole of the shoe where the balls of her feet would sit.
