//------------------------------// // That's Him // Story: Police of Ponyville Episode 1: Murder At The Animal Hospital // by Shadow Storm 44 //------------------------------// The next day came and Storm was on his way to the hospital to meet Star and question Fluttershy to see if she seen the attacker. Storm flew through the sky's of Ponyville the morning like he always did. He couldn't help but see mostly police pony's patrolling the sky and ground of Ponyville. He could barely see any normal pony's in the street let a lone in the air the weather even looked the same as from yesterday the pegasus who control the weather must have forgotten. Soon Storm arrived at the hospital entrance where Star was waiting for him. Wow he's here early, Storm thought. He landed in front of Star where he had the sketch book he draw the suspect on. They both greeted each other with a smile and entered the hospital. Storm and Star entered the elevator and waited till they are at there floor. "Ok let's go over what happened yesterday one more time" Star said handing Storm a notepad. Storm took the pad and begin reading it. "Around 10:30-11:00am, Detective's Shadow Storm and Lode Star were called to a Code 48 (Body Found), ones Detective Lode Star forced open the door a body was found with many cuts all over the body several inches deep and a second pony was found with a near cut on her eye. Two minutes later reinforcements from the Ponyville Police and Ponville Hospital. One of the victims is in critical condition due to huge amounts of blood loss, it is still unknown for sure that the mare will survive from the attack. "Good work we give this to the captain this could be our report" "By the way you will not believe what the results were from the test of that blade you found with the dried blood on it." "Yeah what about it." Storm said with a concern look "The blood on the blade matched the witness blood both of them along, and there was a extra sample it was from the attacker and guess what he look's like." Star said with a smile while waving the sketch book in Storm's face. Storm pushed the book away and looked concerned once again. Why would a stallion want to murder two mare's that worked in the Animal Hospital, Storm thought. He put his hoof on his chin and replayed his question in his head over and over again. Finally the elevator reached the target floor and Storm and Star both walked out of the elevator and walked to the room Fluttershy was in. "OK before we go let me do all the talking OK." Storm said "As long as oi get to show my amazing art work i don't care." "Good." With that said Storm knocked on the door and waited for a answer." "Come in" A voice said from the other side of the door. Storm opened the door and walked in the room with Star right behind him, Once he was complete in the room Storm saw Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and a purple unicorn but he didn't pay much attention to her. "What are you doing here Storm" Rainbow Dash asked. "I'm just here to ask Fluttershy one question and we just might find this guy who attacked her." All three mares gaps at what Storm just said. Rainbow Dash had a expression of eager and revenge, Fluttershy had a look of relief and the unicorn began to write something down in a book. Both Star and Storm looked at each other in confusion at the mares. Then the unicorn looked at Star. "Did you really found the pony who did this." She asked eagerly waiting for a answer. "We believe we do we just need Futtershy to make sure that this is the pony who attacked her." Star answered. "But it's only been one day how do you know" Fluttershy asked. Storm looked at the unicorn she was ones again wrote something down in the book. "Look I'll answer your questions right now we need to show you something Fluttershy. Storm turned to Star and nodded his head to show Fluttershy the sketch of the suspect. Star walked to the end of the bed and showed her the sketch of the suspect. Her skin went from yellow to white real quick it was like she saw something from her past that she never wanted to see again. It didn't take long for everypony in the room to see her reaction this was the pony. Storm and Star both look at each other. "Thank you for your time we will be leaving now." "And that's the story the witness conformed that this is the attacker herself." Star said with the sketch of the attacker.Star in the meeting room full of officers with Storm on his right said and Night on his left. "Now I did a little digging around to find out who this pony is and it turn's out that his a serial killer." Everyone in the room gapes, Everyone was mumbling to one another, Storm turned to Star with a shocked look on his face, the Captain's was the same. "Do you know where he is now?" A unicorn said. "Yes, he has a room at a hotel near the center of town his room number is 129 on the first floor we have to move now he may know there his on to us." When Star finished Night spoke " Were going wait him out at the hotel everypony. Now because this is on short notice we will use the officers in this room for the stakeout. Any questions?" She asked. Before anyone could say anything she spoke again. "Storm" she said as she pointed to him. "You and these 3 pegasus circle the hotel and tell us when he's near so that we can make the bust." "Got it." Storm replied She then turned to Star "Star ones Storm or the other pegasus officers spotted the murder you and the rest of the officers in this room go for the take down. And remember this guy could be dangers so be very careful when you arrest him. "No Problem." Star said. "All right everypony get to work. She said The officers then filed out the room and made there way to the stake out. 2 Hours has passed since they were at there post there was no sign of the killer anywhere, Storm was on a cloud along with the other pegasus officers each looking for the killer in a different direction. Star and the other officers were in hiding behind trees and near by building waiting for the pegasus single to jump out and make the arrest. "There he is." a pegasus said Storm and the other pegasus turned to the direction that the pegasus officer pointed in. Sure enough Storm recognized him from Star's sketch. Storm turned to find Star he gave him the single to let him know he found the attacker. Minutes later Star and other officers surrounded the attacker. He looked around to find a way out, but there was none, he was trapped and he knew it. "Come with us peacefully or you will be taken down by force." Star said while slowly approaching the stallion. The gap was beginning to close between the officers and the attacker. "Damn it." The attacker yelled. "You may have me, but I'm not going down without a fight." His horn began to glow and 10 throwing knifes appear out of thin air. Then all knifes were shot out to every officers that surrounded him. Star created a shield spell that was mainly use during riots, to protected him and the 4 officers near him. The other unicorn officer did the same. The attack then made his getaway. "He's getting away!" A officer yelled. "Like hell he is." Storm said jumping off the cloud and went straight after the attacker. The attacker knew he was being followed due to Storms shadow. The attacker turned around to face Storm, Storm was sill flying at full speed him and the attacker were about 8 yards apart from each other. The attacker then created 2 more throwing knifes. "Stay away from me! She deserved what she got!" He yelled. Sending the knifes to Storm by using magic. Storm then picked up speed and as the knifes were near, Storm preformed a aileron roll, A move preformed by the pegasus in the Air force to dodge incoming rocks. When Storm avoided the knifes he was locked on the attacker with one final push of speed, Storm tackled the attacker with enough force and speed to take him of the ground and send him flying with Storm till they hit the ground. So officers help Storm and then he was taken to the police station for questioning. Later that day Stone was in his office sitting at his desk waiting for the day to end. Star then entered the room with big smile on his face that slightly scared Storm. "Why the smile." Storm asked. "Because you just arrest a Canterlot most wanted killer." Star said still smiling. "No way." Storm said in shock. "Totally man." Star said shaking his head. "Canterlot agents are here right now to take him to prison. Man are we going to get a raise or what?" Storm was lost for words, First two mares were injured from a unknown attacker. Second he found the weapon used in the attack. Third he's a serial killer wanted by Canterlot. This had to be a dream, because all of this was moving to fast for even a officer like Storm. He then looked at the clock he was 11:35 pm. "Thank Celestia I'm out of here. I't been a hell of a day." Storm said as he grabbed his bag. "I hear that." Star agreed. As the two made there way to the exit he catch a quick look at the murder him and Storm both made eye contact revenge burned the the murders eyes. There staring contest came to an end when he was pushed in said the transport and disappeared in the night sky behind the clouds. Storm then looked a Star. "Wait did you ever catch that stallions named?" he asked Star. Star took a moment before answering "Yeah, Red Note it's a pretty a strange name to me." "Yeah, well let's stop standing here, beer at the bar is half-priced." Storm said while smiling. "Hell yeah race you there! Loser buys." Star said getting a head start. "You already lost that bet." Storm yelled as he took flight.
