Study Sessions (Part 7)

[sharpwit]

 Sharp's eyes widened in shock as he watched the protopony crumpled to the ground, her face stuck into an almost comical expression of annoyance as she dropped. It took but a second for the Inspector to regain his senses, flying up to the balcony from where the shot had come from, but by then, the assassin- whoever it was- had wisely left after making the kill. Seeing this, the pegasus roared in rage before swooping back down to the rest of the group, who were standing just below him. "Golden," he said in a deadly calm, "I need you to perform that tracking spell to find the shooter." He quickly swiped a bullet off the ground and tossed it to the unicorn. "Here's a source- now all you need to do is perform the spell."
Golden looked sadly at his partner. "Sharp- it won't bring her back," he murmured.
"DAMN IT, GOLDEN, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO DIE!" the pegasus roared in anger. "IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YOU THAT DIED TODAY, AND PRIMEVAL DIED INSTEAD! NOW, EITHER WE FIND THE BASTARD WHO DID THIS, OR I'LL JUST DO IT MYSELF!"
Golden stood quietly before turning to the agents. "Take the body back to the Starswirl Wing," he stated calmly. "Let the girls know what happened." He turned to his partner, a gleam of golden rage in his eyes. "We're going together," he said firmly. "She saved my life- time to pay her back."
Sharp stared for a moment before nodding solemnly. In a flash of gold, the two partners disappeared in pursuit of Primeval's slayer.
