>>158948Dark Star Tries not to think about what he just did,by returning fire at the Zigger. His face as cold as a stone
[1d20+4 = (17+4) = 21] >>158951>>158950>>158952The Zebra's neck and muzzle flash red. His nose is blown off, and the skin on his neck is blown back. Then a hole opens just above his right eye, the back of his skull explodes back and onto the white wall, painting it red, and his right ear limps down as it no longer has enough skull to support it. The zebra slumps down over his rifle
>>158953Silver peaks to see who is left.
>>158953Dark Star feels vastly better about this kill than the last
>>158954>>158955Looking inside of the room is what remains of the zebra, who is most definitely dead. Behind the desk is the target of the whole operation - Bargain Strength. At least, it seems to be him. He wears a black jacket, and has his black mane gelled. He is still breathing, but there is not much life left. He has been shot by the shotgun, but perhaps more importantly, a bullet ripped through his thick, mahogany desk, and then through his lungs. His brown eyes are wide open.
The sound of sirens can be heard.
In the corner, the far right corner, behind a chair, is a brown earth pony. His chest and his neck are ripped up, and he shakes, cowering with his hooves over his head. He seems to think that if only he covers his eyes, it will all go away. Or maybe he just doesn't want to see it before it happens. All of his injuries have been treated, with thick layers of white bandages that cover his chest and neck. Perhaps its just the opium, inducing sleep and nightmares.
>>158956Silver calls to his companions.
"Bargain is down and bleeding out. One stallion alive, but he is not going to be threat."
>>158958"The Cops are coming, we need to move quickly!"
>>158958>>158959>>158957Blue Skies enters the room, her revolver drawn.
"What do you want to do?" She asks
>>158960Silver looks with pity at the Earth Pony in the corner.
"Leave him alone. There has been enough death in one day..."
He takes a look at the desk.
"Take quick look around, see if you can find anything about his boss in Gang or any potential valuables."
Silver loots whoever had the shotgun for ammo, and looks around quickly for documents and valuables before the police arrive.
>>158960>>158960Dark Star takes the Pistol off of the male diamond dog then he runs into the room and searches for anything important
spot
[1d20+5 = (15+5) = 20] >>158961>>158962Bargain Strength and the diamond dog each have golden wedding bands. Bargain Strength's even had a diamond in it. He also has a watch, although admittedly he could have been flashier with it. The automatic pistol is a model of 978, relatively useful for concealed carry.
Inside the desk is an envelope with bank notes, and two notebooks with writing in them. There is also two rolls of coins, fortunately high denomination coins of gold and silver. There is a box of shotgun shells, all 12 gauge, and a couple magazines for pistols. There is a large legal envelope, and a pair of handcuffs. There are also curios, like what looks like a meteorite, a jade dog, and a telescope. There are also a couple containers of potential potions (or maybe even changeling honey, hard to tell).
>>158962>>158963I imagine Dark Star would agree with "grab everything and get out, we can split it later".
>>158964Yes
>>158963Dark Star takes his ring and watch, as well as the notebooks and envelopes, ammo for pistols, handcuffs and just shoves the rest in(all of it) his bag.
>>158963>>158965Silver helps to grab everything, some of it ending up in his own bags no doubt.
"Come on, we can go out way I came in."
>>158965Blue Skies has found a pair of earrings and a locket, although these are covered in blood.
She says
"I'm sure there is much more, but we don't have much time
>>158967She nods, and is already on her way down around back
>>158967>>158966The ponies move out of the room, past the corpse of the diamond dog female with her head sprayed across the floor, past the body of the black unicorn stallion, and past a new corpse - the corpse of a grey Pegasus stallion, with a single small bullet wound in the back of the neck - and down the stairs
>>158965>>158966The brown earth pony mutters
"Did the hyena come back?" before the trio depart
>>158968Dark Star shoots his revolver into the head of the male diamond dog to make sure hes dead.
"No Survivors."
then he runs to catch up with his friends
>>158970Oh it's dead, and then some. Also the earth pony survived, so...
>>158969Silver offers the Earth Pony some advice before they leave.
"Get out of this line of work, my friend. It is not worth it."
>>158968Silver pauses only for a moment to close the eyes of the unicorn and offer a prayer and an apology. He also looks at the pegasus stallion on their way out.
>>158972Silver has never seen the Pegasus stallion before. It has a big leather jacket, and collapsed on his belly, evidently after having suffered a single bullet wound that didn't really create that much blood.
He has a revolver.
>>158973SwipeSilver takes the group out the back and returning to where he reparked the car.
>>158973>>158972The ponies proceed down the stairs, out the short hallway, and into the alleyway.
When the get outside, to the right is a yellowish griffin who seems to be wearing a white outfit. He calls "hey!" before evidently realizing that was unwise.
>>158976Does he look like he could be a member of the police or the Gang?
>>158971Dark Star Threatens him
"If you Tell the police ANYTHING, i'll be back for you tonight. you saw a pack of zebras shoot up the place, Got it?!?"
>>158978Before they go outside, he does this.
>>158977He looks most like he is restaurant staff. He could be a member if the gang, but he’s definitely not police, unless he’s deep undercover.
>>158978>>158979“okay….”
He doesn’t feel it advantageous to remove his hooves from over his eyes.
>>158980Silver gives him a warning as they pass.
"You saw nothing. Understood?"
>>158980Spot check to see if he is really staff
[1d20+5 = (5+5) = 10] >>158982Looks like a cook’s outfit? Hard to say, really.
>>158981He says “what?” Then stops himself
>>158983Silver simply nods, and continues to lead the group to their getaway vehicle.
>>158985>>158984The group get to the vehicle, open it, and get inside. It looks as if some police cars are already arriving on the scene.
>>158986Silver better just casually head off in the opposite direction of the sirens.
>>158988>>158987The car is parked very close to an alley immediately next to the restaurant. Ducking down may be beneficial.
Cars are starting to pull in around the restaraunt
>>158989Yeah, definitely duck down and casually/quickly leave.
>>158993>>158993The car pulls away, with a police car in the rear view mirror facing them, and is passed immediately by another police car, whose driver looks over toward Silver in the front passenger seat.
>>158996Is it possible to avoid suspicion and keep his wounds hidden?
>>158997Suspicion? Hard to say. But his vehicle is definitely seen.
>>158998How could he avoid his wounds being seen?
