Makes moves the covers off, unveiling the rifle. He wraps the sling around his neck, and steps out, coming towards Spark at speed.
“Which window? How many?”

"Only one at the kitchen window, but the thing is, he was in a cloak. A changeling can do recon as any creature. Why pick a pony form with a cloak to snoop around in?"

“If I had to fight ponies, and I could chose to look like a regular, harmless, colorful pony, I would. The cloak is either to hide details of for the cold. What I am more skeptical of is how many there are. Either more are hiding, or it’s a scout.”
He follows Spark, or perhaps even walks past Spark, going down the stairs, slowly and quietly approaching the bottom floor, looking out the front windows with his rifle leveled.

"When fighting yes, but a squirrel or bird is more inconspicuous for spying at night. Being a shape that could be seen as an intruder seems like a blunder, seeing as it has done exactly what they wouldn't want to do, alert us."
Spark points out the window to where the cloaked figure was.

“Can they shapeshift into squirrels? I thought those were too smal for them. I don’t think we’ve caught any of them as squirrels near our village. Then again, we wouldn’t know.”
Makade’s first act is to look through the front windows, at first from a distance, and then moving closer to them, hiding over to the sides. Then he careful opens a door on the right side of the entry way, and looks around the first floor making sure there are no intruders.
Makade looks out the window. Spark can see the equine form too. The form is exactly where Spark last saw it, under a small tree, sitting down against a fence, head down.
“An odd sight, to be sure”
Makade says

Makade looks behind him, then picks up a pair of pillows off the bed, placing one beside a chair on the dining room table, then placing one on the table, then placing his rifle over it, then trying to set the other pillow over top of the first and the end of the barrel, then pressing down the top pillow, and poking through the scope, to find he is unsatisfied with this arrangement.
“Perhaps. I’ll stand guard from a distance.”

The door is unlocked, and Makade advises Spark to open it very slowly. Spark is free to walk into the narrow backyard, which ends in a wooden fence on the far side, and wrought iron fencing to the left and right; all in all a very small and narrow backyard, with fencing on all sides.
The creature in question does not seem to move. What little Spark can see of thee cloaked figure is a feminine curved pony muzzle with a mauve coat that shimmers in the light. The figure is crouched against the fence next to a poplar tree that is undersized, maybe 10 feet in height, and blocks part of the light from a street lamp on the opposite side.

The night is decidedly cold. The wind varies, being sometimes still, sometimes low, and sometimes rushing in chilling gusts. The figure sits in a positions against the fence that provides some measure against the wind.
The figure moves it's head up with a "gasp." The face is definitely that of a female pony, with glimmering steel eyes and narrow cheeks. The little portion of the mauve muzzle that sticks out beyond the hoodie, and beyond the shadow of the poplar tree glimmers in the light.
Quickly, she places her hooves down, and starts to stand up, though she stumbles slightly. She gets up, in front of Spark. She still has not answered his question.

She stands up, and looks around, side to side, breathing heavily
"I'm... I'm just passing through."
She answers, in a definitely feminine pony voice

That would not do at all.
Iron would attempt to guide the two mares inwards through his forelegs, so the two of them would be right next to eachother to the point of their coats touching in front of him, in order to properly pet both Cauldron and Sands with tenderness.

Sands accepts this, almost with a smug expression, but Cauldron is a bit more reluctant.
>>146321
The mare moves forward, walking towards the door slowly, and inside the dining room. Flakes of snow cover her cloak, and her entry into the little area to the right of the main dining room is uneventful. She says nothing to Spark, moving her head up to look around. Her muzzle sticks further out, as well as the end of a lock of coral colored hair.
Makade has moved back to the kitchen and his rifle is not visible.

Seeing Cauldron's reluctance, Iron soon tried to ease her into the closer petting by adding a little encouraging nuzzle while each foreleg tenderly caressed each mare without much worry of what they would think.

Seeing Black calm down considerably, he'd soon nudge her closer to White in such a way that his head was nested between the two mares' necks in order to achieve multi-pony nuzzling!

Thus, Iron simply slides his head up and down while he continued to provide some more comfort through petting for the two mares for their booped snoots.

Amber gasps in shock. "You mean to say that they are killing ponies? That's horrendous! How could anypony do something so heinous and foul! And they want to do the same thing here?"

Iron couldn't help but chuckle a little at the frank remark, opting to trail his head back up just to give Cauldron a small peck on her cheek for her trouble. "You should know that by now," he slyly concurred soon after.

Amber folds her ears back, wishing she could close her ears off from this noise that's giving her a headache. Well, she wanted a diversion, and she got one.

Iron snickers softly, finally patting the bug on the back before stepping out of the hug himself with a smile. "Sure," he agreed to her request.

Whoops.
Iron couldn't help but snicker softly at the extra bit of attention he was awarded for his efforts before following Cauldron back into the kitchen for that second shot.

It's almost to a fist fight over there, so no one notices. Scabbard pulls her through the hallway, and into the central one. He leans in and whispers into her ear.
"I got the keys, and one of the documents but... I need to get past the last mare. If you could help distract her. Move her out of her office, or make her looks away from the hallway..."
>>146366
White Sands is let go, and she sits down, looking at Iron as he walks away.
Black Cauldron pours a shot for herself.

Scabbard moves towards the end of the hall, until it enters the T intersection. He takes a peak over
"Looks like it's Sunnyside Meadows there, not Good Follower as I thought. All the same, I need to go to an office on the other side and not be seen. Distract him."
>>146369
She takes the glass, picks up up, and drinks the whole thing in one swallow.

He sighs
"They need to get over themselves. This is no different from when the Imperial Guard would come by in the old days. Then again, they were just as dramatic back then..."
Unenthusiastically, he stands up, and starts to walk out

So you're telling me there is a chance?
Amber will do whatever it takes to keep his attention focused on him. "Sir, I'd best explain the situation. The Blackhooves want to take control of the investigation of something called a 'comte' and other cases too. They're saying locals shouldn't handle it at all, because some ponies are giving aid to 'anarchists' and that they're funding the agency and the whole department is 'rotten' and corrupt. On the other hoof, the detectives mentioned there was an agreement to keep Baltimare sovereign from Canterlot and New Mareland also agreed to honor it, but the Blackhooves want to take over with this being an excuse and they did the same thing in Manehattan by killing ponies and lying and all sorts of nasty things...."
She's practically hyperventilating by the end.

The stallion looks down over toward Amber
"Calm down, little pony. It'll be alright. The same occasional drama popped up back under the Princesses' rule. It's just something that comes along with the power sharing, giving something to each side. It's much better to have this than each side fighting for all or nothing."

"It hardly sounds like 'sharing' at all! Sharing is about agreement, about coming to good terms. I really do think they're fighting for all or nothing." Is this an older stallion?

Iron walks over to Cauldron with a sultry, playful smile in turn. "Maybe your drink was different than mine," he coyly insinuated as he hovered his snout near hers. "Maybe I should get a taste just to be sure."

He's clearly older than Red Scabbard, but not really that old. Probably not older than his late forties, maybe early or mid fourties.
"Oh, it's one case. Just high profile. Of course the Chief wants that one. But we've had two revolts in twenty years, and both ended in power sharing arrangements. This much better than it could be. Let them take the one case, and leave the other ten thousand to us."
>>146383
"Maybe" She says plainly, with lidded eyes

"It's 1 AM on a Saturday."
He seems to have more to say, or at least, wants to say more, but does not manage it. A smile slowly fades

Wasn't it already past that when she left the nightclub? I recall she got there shortly before midnight and spent quite a bit of time before coming to the police station
Amber yawns. "I don't know why the Blackhooves would arrive now...except...one of the detectives did mention they wanted to take the evidence for the case all of a sudden."

Actually yes, probably. His point is that it's well outside of business hours
"Because they know they'd be outnumbered 10 to 1 if they came during actual business hours." He answers, walking along with Amber

She smiles in a large, toothy smile. Strangely, she too has fangs, which can be seen in this overly revealing smile.
"Yes! I need to find out what plants will grow here in this climate. Or what the soil is like deeper down. Or exactly how much rain there is here-"

Cauldron pulls back her cheeks in a smile, but lets him in, moving her tongue to meet his, then pressing her lips forward to solidify the union. Iron can't taste much of the hard alcohol, though there is definitely a smell and a slight tint to the flavor.
>>146395
"Exactly. And besides, I have to wonder if maybe for this case, just this case, they really will do a better job. There are many out there who don't want to see justice done in this case. And the office here isn't as above corruption or threat as we would like it to be."
Moving closer to the evidence room, the argument has died down a bit, and Swift Soul has made progress moving forward. Further away, by the entrance, Amber can hear more commotion.

"Well.... Yes, if we have to. I know what it would have been like back at my home village but... This is very different. Ideally there would be a rock garden, and a pagoda, but.. there isn't really room for it. Still, it is nice to plant into the ground. To sow seeds, and let them take root."
