Iron got his ass beat and has pissed off a whole criminal syndicate, Amber is doing some shady shit at the police station, Silver is making friends, and Spark is enjoying Whinnysotan hospitality.

Anything to eat...
Iron quickly took a second to check if he indeed was hungry as he lazily looked up to the mare on top of him. "Do you want anything?" he relaxedly asked the fluffy Sands.

Hearing White's words made Iron nod before looking back at Cauldron with a smile. "If I were to ask for food," he suggested in an attempt to be coy, only to be interrupted by his stomach growling lightly.
He hadn't eaten anything after the breakfast at the hotel, meaning he was quite eager to have food right about now. Of course, this derailed any attempt to be playful as his cards were unintentionally put into the table, instead smiling sheepishly at the zebra mare.

Map done, see pic related. Is it vaguely what you were envisioning?
Amber doesn't really have any more options within the police station. She could try to sneak into one of the many doors along the hallway, but none of those ponies supposedly in there are who she's looking for. She doesn't want to try the bat pony who's busy anyway. Going back to the detectives on the other side of the building is right out.
She enters the office softly. "Um, excuse me, I hope I'm not interrupting anything important."

Any stomach growling is muffled by a fluffy pillow unicorn. Unless it’s an excessively aggressive growl.
Black Cauldron answers,
“I can make something quickly.”

Not quite. That portrayal seems to have the hallways dead ending in offices. I would have the hallways end in corners where the hallway confines onwards. On the right side it turns again to the right, presumably coming back around so that it meets up with a hallway closer to the entrance and would allow you to walk around in a circle. The hallway on the left turns a corner to the left, though it does not seem to loop around. The offices are on the sides. There are actually a large number of offices, just most of them don’t have anyone working in them at 1 AM on a Saturday morning.
The pony turns to her, putting down the photographs. His brown eyes widen. He wears a beige hat even now inside the room.
“Hmmm?”

Iron's eyes immediately widened at Cauldron's generous attitude, soon getting a bit bashful at having her cook food just for him. "I-I do not wish to take away any more of your time," he quickly stammered out, albeit his lightly hesitant hoof twiddling definitely called out he'd appreciate it.

Good to know, I'll work on it with my rudimentary skills
"Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering where Red Scabbard's office is? I was told I could give him some information regarding a case." She smiles shyly.

This caused Iron's to widen once again, now shocked to hear such a concept. "You have leftovers?" he asked out loud, curious.

I kinda butchered it, but here is a revised version
"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Amber, and I want to help with the investigation." She smiles more warmly now.

"A stove?" Iron uttered, further intrigued by Cauldron's remarkably tame discoveries. "Is it some sort of spell name? A potion, maybe?"

"I'm happy to meet you too. I wish I could talk longer, but...." She yawns. "...But I'm a little pressed for time. Thank you very much, and I wish you the best of luck!" If he has no response she'll follow his directions.

Iron quickly turned to see such a magnificent piece of magic flashing on in rapt attention, eyes dilating slightly out of immense curiousity as his mouth hung open. "How did you do that?" he blurted out loud.
Of course, he didn't move so much, as he still was cognizant enough of the mare on top of him and would be disturbed if he were to suddenly shift his position.

“Gas” Black Cauldron answers in the most matter of fact find if voice possible. Iron can’t move by much with the weight on him. In fact even breathing is harder than usual.
>>145444
Black mane, check, though he has a hat on. He is wearing a raincoat, and it is hard to tell if there is or is not a uniform beneath that.

There can't be that many OC's colored with edge in this dark universe, can there?
Amber casually walks out from around the corner and winks at the stallion.

Iron obviously endured it, glad to have Sands comfy after everything that had happened today and glad to chat with Cauldron about such a riveting topic. "What's gas?" he immediately asked afterwards. "Is that where the spell comes in?"

Amber thanks the Princesses as she approaches him. She can't be absolutely sure until she speaks to him, but she can be reasonably certain this is indeed the pony she's looking for. She walks up and asks him, "Red Scabbard, I presume?"

Iron stared at the pot far more than he cared to admit, the extra difficulty to breathe not causing that much strain on his attention towards such magical arts at display.
However, he spared one glance at Cauldron to flash her an excited smile just to show off how grateful and eager he was to taste such powerful foods.

Such a sign of uncertainty immediately tempered his excitement, now feeling worried something may have happened without him noticing, soon looking at the stove a bit more closely. Maybe she needs some extra gas to properly give it enough fire? he thought to himself.

"Okay!" She frowns and glances at the door, thinking to herself that it would be much more secure in there. She reaches into her dress and fumbles around with the paper until she pulls it out, then hastily pushes it toward him.

Oh.
Iron's spirits lowered considerably to allow himself some time to properly think through stuff as he sighed softly. "I was planning on going back to bait out some hitsquads to beat up," he explained with a bit of hesitation, feeling it would be sternly rejected. "Maybe bring some sort of help."

He takes the paper, and tries to unfold it, then looks up and forward. He must have changed his mind, because he puts the paper to the side and behind again to try to unlock the door of the office, succeeding and opening it.

“I’m not sure there is much other choice.” She says almost somberly.
“You’ve started a war without permission. You and that one unicorn mare. The only way to get away with that is to win it. Or at least, to give a damn good start.”

"Yes..." Iron trailed off, now feeling quite self-conscious about his failures back at the port with a pout on his face and looking away in shame.
I mustn't fail them, he declared to himself, making a promise. If I fail them, then I am as good as dead.

"It's not your fault, I know. I would have assumed she had authority as well. Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if her underboss ordered her to. But any time things go wrong they are always looking for a scapegoat and you're not in a great position. Get well and get help.

Iron took a deep breath at the question, only to stop and think about it as Cauldron took her time praising his efforts. It did cause him to puff his chest out slightly as he pondered, recovering some of his lost pride after his close defeat against Koptis.
Despite this, the native seemed a bit at a loss on what sort of help he'd really want. A spotter would be a no-brainer in order to see the hitsquads coming, but he didn't really recall anypony he's worked that had such a skillset. Maybe another set of hooves to fight alongside with? He didn't know other bruisers like he was, unless killing was on the table or he could convince some of the boxers in that underground fighting ring to fight with him.

That got Iron's ears and to perk up considerably, akin to a dog conditioned to think food was on the plate when the bell rang, and was about to practically jump out of the couch only to be reminded of the midly stifling bugmare currently on top of him, causing him to look at Sands with a small, sheepish smile. "You do not mind if I go eat and then come back, right?" he promptly asked the unicorn.

“Yes... I know those treatments. Well, sort of. It’ll be until the late morning at the very least.”
