After a couple hours, the train finally arrived at Appleoosa. The trio got off and headed towards the post office. That's where the suit was supposed to be picked up at. They entered the post office and took seats in the lobby. "How long do you think it'll take for him to come to us?" Wind asked as she leaned over to her mother. Dash just shrugged. As if on cue, the door opened and a unicorn in the same red cloak came in. He walked up to the counter and addressed the clerk. "Hello, I have a package to be picked up." He said in a gravely voice. "Name please." The clerk said. "It's addressed to a mister SS." He replied. "Looking for this?" Dash asked as she stood up, holding the suit. He took one look at Dash and jumped over the counter. He began to run through the mail room. "Stay here. I got this." Dash said as she threw the suit to the ground and began to chase after him. As Dash chased him through the back rooms of the post office, he kept attempting to slow her down by throwing carts of letters and packages in her way. After several minutes, the back exit loomed ahead. He threw another cart full of letters in her way. Dash jumped over the cart and tackled him. "Did you really think you could get away from me? I'm the fastest in all of Equestria." Dash said breathlessly. "You can go straight to hell. I'm not telling you anything." He said. "We'll see." Dash replied as she pulled him to his feet and zip tied his hands behind his back. "Ow, that's too tight." He cried out. "Good." Dash replied. She lead him out the back exit and back around front. She opened the door and waved at Wind and Applespice to follow her. Dash lead the cloaked man to the prison and threw him into one of the cells. He smacked against the back wall and was knocked unconscious. "Let me know when he comes to. We'll be at the mayor's office." Dash said to the sheriff as she left. They all three headed to the mayor's office. Once inside, they were greeted by a girl with pink and white striped hair. She was wearing a secretary's uniform and was filing at her nails. She looked up as they came in. "What do you want?" She asked. "We need to see the Mayor Applebloom." Dash said. The secretary sighed. "Fine." She replied as she pressed a button on an intercom on her desk. "Applebloom, you have visitors." She said in to the intercom. "Thank you, Diamond. Send them in." Applebloom said from the other end of the intercom. Diamond sighed again and pointed to the door beside her desk.
They entered the door and found Applebloom sitting behind a large wooden desk. She was wearing a black dress skirt, a plaid button-down shirt, and a pair of cowgirl boots. The outfit seemed a little tacky, but, seemed to work for her position. She looked up when they came in. "Howdy, guys. What brings ya to Appleoosa?" Applebloom said with a smile. Dash could see the bags under her eyes. "Is everything okay, Applebloom?" Dash asked. There was a short pause from Applebloom before she finally answered. "No. It's not okay. We've had several of our citizens come up missing over the past week. No one has seen anything or knows anything about it. So far we've lost our baker, our postman, and our sheriff. Granted the sheriff was easy to replace, but, still." Applebloom said as the worry lines on her face deepened. "Well, maybe what we're looking for is responsible for both our problems." Dash said. "What are you guys looking for?" Applebloom asked. "Well, yesterday, Jet was taken by a group of unicorns with red cloaks. We've tracked them here. We actually have one in a cell at the jail right now." Dash said. "Really? That's great. Maybe we can get him to tell us something useful." Applebloom said. "Yea, but, I doubt he'll talk easily. That's why we need your help. As mayor, you can give us the right to use any means necessary to get the info out of him." Dash said. "Consider it done." Applebloom said as she pushed the button on the intercom. "Diamond, bring me the paperwork to grant a citizen the right to use deadly force." She said. There was an exasperated sigh from the other end and after a few minutes, Diamond came in the door carrying a stack of papers. "Here you go, mayor." She said the last word as if it were a joke. Diamond headed for the door. "One more thing, Diamond." Applebloom said. Diamond turned around. "Yes, boss?" She asked. "Cut the attitude or I'll put you on manure duty next month when we have the rodeo." Applebloom said. Diamond just whimpered and shut the door behind her. "Now, let's get you guys a deadly force warrant." Applebloom said as she began to fill out the paperwork. After several minutes, she handed Dash a sheet of paper. "Just sign the bottom and you're good to go." Applebloom said. Dash signed it and folded it. She stuck the warrant into her back pocket. "Just give that warrant to the sheriff. He'll know what to do." Applebloom said. "Thanks, Applebloom. We'll get something out of him for you." Dash said as she hugged Applebloom and headed out the door.
