When we arrived, the streets were completely normal. A little bit busy, yet no one knows what is going on or that there are suddenly many guards hiding and surrounding the hideout.
“How does it look?” Shining Armor asked the platoon leader.
“Not much, no one came in or out.” He responded.
“Thank you. Stay here and if anyone gets out that is not us once we go in, ask questions, however, if it is anyone suspicious, do not waste time, arrest him/her.
“Yes sir!”
Shining Armor went over to Headline and Bold to explain the situation.
“Well, anything?” Bold asked.
“No one left, but we are going in, quietly. We cannot be seen.”
“That is our job. You, Shining Armor, stay here and do what you need to do if necessary.” Headline responded.
“Yes, sir!” Shining Armor said happily.
Quietly and in disguise, Headline went in with his suit coat and fedora, however, without his “press” slip on his hat and without his notepad and pen. I went in as a ragged pony looking for food but stayed quiet as possible.
“...So, you should have seen what happened 3 months ago when Zephyr took File down.”
Quickly and in a dark side of the Main hall, they sat and listened to what they said.
“Yeah, I know, I heard about that and I wish I was there.”
“Well...” Headline whispered to his father, “....looks like Zephyr is not here. However, we have 2 of them at this location.”
“Let's wait until they leave. Then block them from entering once they notice the guards everywhere.”
“I've got a better idea.” Headline said as he quietly went to the front door. A great distance, dark, and where they entered. “HELP! HELP! SOMEONE IS TAKING ME AWAY...HEEEEELLLLP!” Headline quickly hid in a different dark place and waited. Pointed at Bold to follow behind them.
“Someone is taking one of ours away. Let's stop them.”
Without thinking, they went straight for the front door, ran out, and noticed a lot of guards surrounding them.
“Shit! Let's...” Suddenly Headline pointed a sword at them.
“I don't think so.” Headline responded.
“Crap.” The other pony assassin said. “It's Headline!”
Immediately, the guards took the assassins away, back to Canterlot castle for questioning.
“That was a little reckless, son.” I said to Headline.
“You worry too much pops. Besides, they fell for the oldest trick in the book.”
“Well done, Headline!” Shining Armor said happily. “You and Bold caught 2 assassins and now we only have 4 to get.”
“Alright as much as I like having you with us Shining Armor, we must part ways.” Headline said.
“Why?”
“We need to speed things up.” I said.
“The sooner we catch them, the better.”
“Can we trust you to go to Los Pegasus and aide the guards there and capture any assassins there?”
“Yes, I will not fail!” Shining Armor said boldly.
“Good, get going!” I said quickly.
“You are all dismissed, unless there is any of you wishing to come with us to Ponyville.”
A few of the guards agreed to come so it felt like good news for more to come. The best thing is that the guards coming are all Pegasus, so they can fly to Ponyville.
“Let's hurry!”
And off went the guards, Headline, and I as we flew straight for Ponyville.
“Always expect the worse, everybody!” I said as we took off.
