At the mayor's office.
"So we meet once more, Mr. Domitz," uttered the mayor. "What brings you to my city of Manehattan?"
"Revenge," uttered Randy and tried to break out of the cuffs.
"When will you finally understand that you simply cannot hurt or murder anyone without anyone else noticing," replied the mayor. "You have caused great harm to Butterfly and I will not tolerate such crimes."
"Twenty years ago, what happened?" he asked. "After my parents were killed. Tell me!"
"There was a police investigation of course, with the only suspect being Yonder Skies and his impenatrable alibi." said the mayor and started smoking a cigar. "The court didn't sent him to jail because there weren't enough convicting clues." Randy tried walking closer to the mayor but was stopped by Pinkie and Twilight, who were standing beside him.
"You... you were a police pony once," uttered Randy. "You worked on the case."
"Yes, I did Randy," replied the mayor. "Yes, I did."
"Wait... you did?" asked Twilight. "How come we get to know this last?" Tha mayor's only response was a smile.
"You knew exactly what was going on," said Randy. "You took money from Yonder Skies's lawyer and made it look as if nothing happened!" Pinkie and Twilight gasped.
"Is... is that true?" asked Twilight. "Are you... are you the sole reason Randy went to hunt down his parents' murderer?" The mayor smiled from one cheek to the other and started smoking a cigar.
"How much does a life cost?" he asked. "Twenty thousand? Thirty? Fifty?"
"You filthy bastard!" uttered Randy. "I won't leave it like this!"
"Ladies, please dispose of this vermin," said the Mayor. "There's a huge amount of money waiting for you." Twilight and Pinkie looked at each other and then back at the mayor.
"No," they said in unison.
"What was that?" he asked.
"No," they said again. "You've heard us." he put the cigar in the ashtray and a menacing look appeared on his face.
"Do I once again have to remind you who you're working for?" he said. "Or would you like my secretary to write it down for you?"
"If this is what it takes to be a detective," said Pinkie. "Then I quit!"
"Very well." He reached for something underneath his table "If you want this to unfold the hard way, you'll get exactly what's coming to you." Shortly after, he stood up, aiming at them with a Type-45 Hooveson Typewriter, otherwise known as a Tappygun.
"A locked door, two, very unfortunate mares, one psycho and me, the sole survivor." he said. "Won't that make a wonderful headline?"
"We're gonna make you pay!" shouted Pinkie. The mayor didn't hesitate and shot a burst at Pinkie, but at the last moment, Randy jumped into the trajectory of the bullets, sacrificing himself. The mayor, angered by his failed attempt to kill the detective aimed at Twilight but before he could push the trigger, a violet outline appeared on the bookshelf behind him and collapsed shortly after. Then, there was silence. Since the shelf was made from back ironwood, one of the hardest woods known in Equestria, it was fairly certain the mayor was crushed to his death.
"Randy!" shouted Twilight ran to him, trying to help him up.
"No," he uttered. "This was meant to happen...."
"Pinkie, go get someone from the ambulance," she shouted. "NOW!" Pinkie rushed out of the office, but instead of running outside of the building, she ran inside the secretary's office, kicking the doors open.
"Hey, you could have knocked," said the secretary. "Doors aren't cheap."
"Your boss lied and stuff and shot at us!" said Pinkie quickly. "Get there, quick!"
"I'm sorry, what?"
"How good are you at medicine?" asked Pinkie. "There's someone in the mayor's office that needs immediate help."
"Well, I used to be a nurs,e but that doesn't make me a-"
"You'll do," said Pinkie, grabbed the secretary and carried her to the mayor's ofice. It was so quick, the secretary didn't even have time to say she doesn't want to go.
"What to happened to the- Oh...." she interrupted herself when she saw Randy laying on the ground with Twilight trying to patch his wounds up with magic.
"Would you please?" she said and Twilight let go of him. The secretary tore a part of her clothing and used it as makeshift bandage to stop Randy from bleeding out.
"Where's the mayor?" she asked.
"Dead." said Pinkie.
"What?!" said the secretary, shocked.
"We'll explain later, just call help." The secretary hesitated whether to trust the two detectives-turned-murderers, but she didn't want to be the reason a stallion died.
They called in a rapid response team and told them it's a medical emergency. The team patched up some of Randy's wounds before carrying him away. Unfortunately, one more sharp-eyed member of the team called in the police and all three of them had a lot of explaining to do.
The mayor's death caused a lot of stir, but the fact the clues stood againts him freed Pinkie and Twilight from serving jail time. Randy Domitz, the innocent psycho, was charged with attempted murder, but instead of serving jail time, he was allowed to spend the total of six months in a house arrest in his home at Ponyville in an almost-daily surveillance with limited access to sharp items. On the brighter side, however, all the cases solved by the late mayor were challenged and as a result were restarted, the murder of his parents included.
I'll take a while before a new mayor is elected or selected by the officials in Canterlot, but one thing is certain - this was just the beginning, as many more unsolved cases are waiting to be solved by Detective Pie and her assistant Twilight Sparkle.
