"and that's when he decided to try and jump a 10-foot gap... even though the other roof was a foot higher than the roof he was on," said Gary as me, Norman, and Madison, all laughed a little at the supposed idiotic criminal. I felt a vibration in my pocket as I pulled it out to find it was Veronica.

Giving a smug grin I stepped away for a moment. "got to take this call." I said simply as they nodded as I stepped a few feet away. "knew you couldn't ignore me." I said in my best seductive tone while I heard the three behind me snicker.

"no time for games Ben..." I stood there confused.

"may I ask why?"

"Lance." I froze... this wasn't good if she was bringing him up and obviously my three friends behind me noticed as they looked at me with worry. "he came here just a few hours ago. His personality held out for a little bit before he just broke down. Talking all about some things that happened today."

"well, his brother did come visit him today," I said with a sigh.

"yet he wasn't mentioned at all." she then stated with a stern tone.

"what? Then what could have happened?"

"you know why he comes over nowadays. Why he comes over to confide in me." I tensed up as rage slowly built up inside of me.

"what... happened..." I then asked through gritted teeth as I heard her sigh.

"first he was attacked by a Pegasus by the name of Spitfire. He was able to stop her and send her flying through the window. He said he went out for a walk and came back to find that 4 of the six new ponies were watching the farm from his master bedroom... they found his shotgun and held him at gunpoint." more and more rage built up inside of me. "they pushed him outside and threatened to kill him until he told them about the barrier and he was injured by this Spitfire again... when she told him to put his hands in his pockets they didn't know he was given a separate remote just for those three.. and he pushed it. He even said he took a small amount of glee from watching them scream out in pain. Then he said he upped the juice to 5 and zapped them again. Before he was stopped by one of the ponies, I believe named Fluttershy, and he grabbed his shotgun... and he almost killed her in cold blood... knowing why they were like this." she stopped talking as it took all my might to not smash my phone. "I'm going to be keeping him here for the night... would it be possible for you to watch over the farm?"

"sure... I just need to get approval from the boss." I said.

"thank you Ben... maybe if you do good ill give you a treat..." I chuckled as she hung up. The smile slowly left my face as I pocketed my phone and immediately walked towards the chiefs room. Knocking on the door I heard him yell enter/

"yes, Ben? How can I help you today?" the name everyone knew him by was Chief. He refused to let his name be known as anything else. He was a nice guy unless you pissed him off.

"Sir! A friend of mine just called and said that another friend of mine had been almost killed at gunpoint by one of his anthro's! He was able to subdue him but at the moment he is incapacitated and someone will need to watch over the farm! Request to watch over the farm, sir!" I stated as he stared at me.

"granted... take Gary, Norman, and Madison with you!"

"thank you, sir!" I started to walk out of the room.

"make sure you tell Lance I said hi... been a while since I've seen him." I stopped at the door and turned to him with a smile.

"I will sir." I turned the knob and walked out as I heard him behind me.

"don't forget to take a Universal!"

about 20 minutes later I was in my police car with Gary while Madison and Norman were in the one behind us. I was driving with a vengeance as I knew how Lance had gotten. His families famous rage while is very bad for those that it was against... Lance only had half of the Pendragon genes as he took after his mother more than his father. While he gained the Pendragon rage it occurred whenever he was mad and with his grudges against those who attack him it got worse. But at the end of the Rage, there was a no regret phase for normal Pendragon's... but Lance wasn't normal... he felt all the regret that is held up in him until the end. He's only killed someone once in his blind rage... and it wasn't pretty. "so Ben what are we dealing with?" I heard Madison ask over the radio. I picked up my own as I pressed the button. Over 10 anthro's on the farm I know at least a few of them. Knowing Lance he trusted one of them with the remotes to their collars. they will be a trustworthy one so be sure to confide in whoever had them. From what I know Lance told me I suspect I know the main culprits that attempted to kill him. A Soarin, Fleetfoot, and a Spitfire. All three are suspected to be highly ranked in the rebellion." I said as Gary looked at me with surprise.

"so whats the plan then?" Madison asked.

"the plan is to watch over the farm until Lance comes tomorrow. I know where all the guns are and as long as those three are out and about I don't trust that they won't be able to find them. They found Lance's shotgun which was one of his more hidden guns. Either they stumbled upon it by accident or they were actively looking for them." I said as I spotted the dirt road to the farmhouse. "sirens on!" I flicked the switch as the car's siren turned on and soon I heard the other car's siren turned on. We turned onto the dirt road as I could see quite a few ponies walking outside. We pulled up and turned off the sirens as I stepped out of the car as I noticed Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie looking at me with recognition in their eyes. "Alright... where are the three bastards..." I asked angrily as Fluttershy began to shake with fear. "either bring them out so I could have a... talk... with them. Or you can leave them in the house where we will be forced to go inside and kill them." the big red pony narrowed his eyes at me as he walked inside. Soon though I watched as he dragged 4 tied up ponies and threw them on the ground. They struggled as I raised my eyebrow at the fourth pony. The first 3 must have talked the fourth one into helping them.

"Ben... what are you going to do?" Norman asked as he walked over to me. I sighed in response.

"alright. Which one of you has Lance's remotes?" the red pony lifted his hand as I was surprised. "bring them here." he shook his head.

"he said bring them pony!" Gary yelled as I raised my hand to calm him down.

"he doesn't trust us yet. That's why he isn't bringing them to us." the red pony nodded as I walked over and crouched in front of the 4 tied up ponies. "alright... which one of you is Spitfire?" they only glared up at me in their own ways as I looked towards the red pony. He pointed towards the yellow one as I pulled her to her feet. I motioned for Gary to walk over and hold her as I turned my back to them. "so. Since Lance won't do it." I secretly pulled out a pair of brass knuckles and put them onto my left fist. " I will!" I spun around and punched her just below her neck. She went sailing out of Gary's grip while the three tied up ponies on the ground looked in shock.

Spitfire was now coughing as she could barely breathe from the hit but she had just enough. "you pissed me off by making my friend almost commit murder again... while it may not be murder to everyone else to him. It is to him. Now..." I walked over to the yellow Pegasus as she struggled to bring in full breaths. "we are going to be here for the night until Lance gets back. Now then... I trust you big guy and maybe Fluttershy. But everyone else here is untrustworthy to me." the two ponies nodded in their own way. "Gary! Watch over these four while I check and see that Lance's guns are still where they should be. Madison and Norman keep them all out of the house. Have them do the chores around the place." I walked into the house as they kindly did what I asked. I stopped in front of the red pony for a moment and looked him straight into the eyes... before just walking inside.

I began to search the house from high to low and found that all of his guns were in their same spots. Although there were two ponies in one of the bedrooms that were asleep. I calmly walked over to them and found that the cream colored one was breathing heavily. I quickly put my hand to her forehead and became worried as I found she had a fever. I rushed to the bathroom and grabbed a hand towel and soaked it with water. Wringing it out I then quickly walked back in and placed it on her forehead.

While I may help anthro's when I can... they do seem to piss me off at times. Like when they hurt people that I know. I know lance can take a few hits so I'm not to mad about that... its emotionally that I'm worried about. His emotions were easy to mess with given the right circumstances.

After making sure the pony was all good for now I went back downstairs and out the door. "alright... there's a few things that need to be taken care of quickly."
