Emerald asks if Joyride has gone missing. It is kind of in her personality to just disappear after all. As Emerald thinks on it she hasn’t done it yet without telling him where she was going or if she’d be gone for long.
 
“I don’t mean to scare you little one, but it is possible.” The zebra says, sitting back in his chair.
 
Emerald explains what the guard said to Ruby, and they exchange worried glances.
 
The zebra looks at each one of them in turn. He then walks over and puts a tender hoof on both of their shoulders and says, “Grab your things. We’ll keep you up at the station for now until we can locate Joyride. I’m sure she is fine.”
 
“Y-yeah. I’m sure she is just playing a trick on us.” Ruby says as Emerald does his best to act as translator between the two, “Thanks Mr…?”
 
“Detective Dejen.” He says with a smile.
 
As the two make their way to the staircase they pass by the innkeeper. It’s the same one as last night. Emerald asks if she left with some zebras last night, and where they went.
 
“Yes, a smart question.” Dejen says, approaching Emerald from the side.
 
“Yeah, she left with the group of them. Five or six stallions, I think. All big and burly. They didn’t say where they were going that I can remember. I think it was another bar they knew about or something.” The innkeeper replies.
 
“Thank you. I’m going to need you to remember anything and everything about these stallions you can.” He says, pulling a notepad from a pocket and handing it to the innkeeper, “Also the contact information for any of the staff that was here that night.”
 
Emerald wants to stick around to listen to more, but he is shooed upstairs by the detective. Ruby is waiting for him with all three of their bags… And then Emerald gets an idea. Maybe he should look through Joyride’s things before the cops do. There might be something useful there.
