Enjoy :)
Applejack felt someone shaking her. Her head snapped up, her eyes opening. She was a bit confused as everything was blurry. AJ rubbed her eyes, clearing away the sleepiness.
Once her vision was cleared, Applejack looked at her surroundings. It was dark. She was still in the cop car. She noticed someone out of the corner of her eye. AJ groggily glanced up. Jackson stood there, grinning.
"Mornin, sleepyhead. We're at the hospital."
Applejack peered around him. She saw the paramedics wheeling Rainbow into the hospital. Applejack suddenly became more aware and alert. She unbuckled her seatbelt, climbing out of the cop car. Jackson shut the car door.
They met up with the other girls and the detective.
"Thank you, detective." Jackson said. "We wouldn't have been able to find er without cha."
The detective smiled. "No problem. I'm just glad Rainbow is safe. Now, she needs to be treated. She looked pretty bad when we found her. She was tied up to a pole pretty tightly and unconscious. We could tell that she had been beaten pretty badly. Poor girl."
Applejack nodded, not trusting her voice.
"Cmon." Jackson said to her. "Let's go inside."
Applejack nodded. The girls followed Jackson into the hospital. It felt refreshing when the cool air conditioned breeze hit them as they walked into the emergency room entrance. The girls headed straight for the waiting area. Jackson went to the desk to tell the woman at the desk to alert them when Rainbow Dash could be seen.
Applejack sighed as she sank into her chair. She was so mentally and physically exhausted from the stress of the situation.
"You okay?"
AJ looked to her left. Sunset Shimmer sat down beside her, a concerned look on her face. Applejack sighed again.
"Yeah. Just worried. She looked really bad."
"I'm sure she'll be okay." Sunset assured her friend.
"Yeah." Twilight agreed. "She's strong. She'll be okay in a few weeks and hopefully back to her regular self."
"The poor dear." Rarity shook her head. "I can't imagine what those monsters did to her during her time in captivity. She's a real fighter."
Applejack couldn't help but smile. Rainbow was a tough little cookie. Or so Rainbow liked to tell people. Applejack wasn't so sure about that in this situation. She'd have to wait and see how Rainbow was when she woke up.

Hours ticked by. The girls took turns going to the bathroom if they needed it. They had to get something to eat as well since they had spent the whole night with the cops. They lazed around, watching YouTube videos and movies on their phones to pass the time.
They were in the middle of watching an episode of Pretty Little Liars when they saw someone standing in front of them. They looked up and saw a doctor standing there. The teens and Jackson sat up, waiting to hear what he had to say.
"Are you Rainbow Dash's family??."
The girls looked at each other. Technically they were. Rainbow didn't have anyone else but Strike and them.
"I'm one of her emergency contacts." Jackson informed, surprisingly calm. "How is she??."
"She's awake now. Pretty bruised up and we had to check her out and give a physical exam. No broken bones or anything, but we did find some lashes on her legs and back."
