//------------------------------// // 3. Search For The Suspect // Story: Detective Stories Case One: "Robbery Gone Bad" // by Fryguy //------------------------------// In the stabbing death of Werson, detectives think they know their killer, Rainbow Dash. It's been seven days since the murder. Rarity and Daisy were charged with Werson's murder, due to the fact that they both were said to be involved, and were to remain in dungeons for a total of two years, but Rainbow Dash is facing even higher charges, they needed to find her, so they can get her side of the story. But they couldn't find her in Ponyville, she had fled the town. But the stallions and mares never gave up their search. Their search would have been a failure if a mare stepped up saying she knew where Rainbow Dash was. Back at the station, the mare is identified as Twilight Sparkle, a friend of Rainbow Dash. Her purple mane was hanging low to the ground, she was sad. "She might know something we don't, but let's see." Lilly and Rob then enter the interview room she was in. "Hello Twilight, you say you know where Rainbow Dash is hiding, tell us, where is she hiding?" Twilight hesitated before getting a word out. "She doesn't live here, she's hiding at her house in Cloudstalle." Twilight claims that Rainbow Dash is planning on running away to a desert city called Appleloosa, and is hiding in her home in the clouds. "Ok, thank you very much." The detectives then send the unicorn out of the station, she was a big help, the detectives started high fiving each other, they now know where their suspect is, and hopefully she'll not have a weapon to attack them with. The pegesi officers then fly to cloudstalle, where they do find Rainbow Dash. "Don't move! YOUR UNDER ARREST!" But Rainbow Dash was trying to escape, but she was trapped, until she finally gave up. But to the detective's surprise, Rainbow Dash was hurt, and had sent her to nurse Redheart, where they report to find a twisted wing. But the detectives decide to interview her anyway. They find a private tent and interviewed her there. "Hi, we need your side of the story in the murder of Werson, and everypony involved is pointing hoofs that you." "What? Why?" "They think you were the one that killed him." Rainbow started to cry. "I didn't! I swear!" "Then who did it?" "I heard that Daisy did it!" "What about you fleeing the town?" "I was only going there to see some friends, that's all!" "But were you and Werson robbing Rarity?" "I swear! I wasn't there! Daisy was robbing Rarity with him." "How do you know?!" The detectives argue with Rainbow Dash, adding bits of evidence against her, but after telling her this. "We found your hoofprints on the cashier box in Rarity's bouquet, and they wern't there before! How do you explain that?!" Suddenly, Rainbow Dash had then said. "Ok, fine, I did rob Rarity with Werson, but I did not kill him." Rainbow Dash says when she and Werson were robbing Rarity, she heard Werson yell, and saw Daisy with one of Rarity's bread knifes. "I followed them into a alley, and saw Daisy take off running, and found Werson still alive, then I sent a message to the paramedics, and police." She also claims while the detectives were in the shop, Daisy returned, and stabbed him even more, then took his bits, and took off running. "Ok, that's all we needed, but sit tight." Then the detectives left the tent. "Yes! high five!" "We got Rainbow Dash to tell us she was involved. But now we don't know who to charge, or release."
