"Excuse the intrusion. I am Sister Helen Feuer, devote of Luna. I assisted the doctors with your friend here. I'm just glad to see she's doing much better."
Helen curtsies as she introduces herself to the rest of the group. "This case is of… particular interest to me. I will do whatever I can to help."

"Look we can deal with the drama later, I had an actual reason to come here. While you were looking for the Bassets, my boys went to strike a fake deal with Sugar Cane. None of them made it out, but we tracked the sugar to a construction site on the edge of Manehatten. Sugar Cane was found shot dead, hugging a mare and filly. Lunch was dead too. Multiple gunshot wounds.
We bagged some goon sent to do the cleanup and we have him at the station.

You can see a mare slowly dancing. She has a gramophone set on a table. She has a rapier in hand she is using to accent her movements.
You can see sixty sacks of sugar piled near a side table, with a typewriter and lots of papers on it.
You can see the pants of an Equestrian Armed Forces uniform on a chair.

"I'm heading back up to the roof in case any of her colleagues show up." Before turning to leave she holds her Lunar symbol out over Short Fix. "Moon bless you, child."

It is a refurbished abandoned fish packing plant that has been converted into a nice enough house. There is a bedroom, a living room, a small kitchen, a bathroom, a few closets for stuff, and the HUGE PILE OF ILLEGAL NARCOTICS. Lots of LPs, most of the classical. A few rapiers. Some calling cards and paperwork. An army ID pass.
