As Caroline walked out the front door, Applejack and Rainbow Dash followed to be reunited with their friends. At the same time, on the other side of the building by the garage, two people exited. You wouldn't know it was two people when looking. You would see Officer Robert's patrol car. Nobody was in the back seat, hidden from even the sight of other officers.

The residents of Equestria hugged and cried in relief at seeing their friends. The humans looked back to the station, concerned and troubled.

Dash pulled back from her friends. She saw the concerned expressions first. Her own guard was up. "When is she coming out?"

Caroline glared at the rainbow-haired girl. Dash grimaced at the stare. "You suddenly care about Morgan?"

Dash rolled her eyes, annoyed and aggravated. "It's not like that! She's just-"

A police car drove by the group. None of them noticed it.

"Wait where is Morgan?" Twilight asked. "She hasn't come out yet."

Caroline's glare dropped when she turned away from Rainbow Dash. "They said they needed to correct paperwork." Caroline answered. She looked back again to the station. "I don't know. It just doesn't feel right."

The police car drove further away. It turned out of the parking lot, driving up the road. It left the Equestrians and humans behind, not even noticing them in their escape.

The car drove and drove. Everyone ignored it. Or rather, everyone paid more attention to their own selves because 'cop- cop- it's a cop car be cool be cool be cool-'

Robert got by without anyone noticing, or even questioning for a single second what he was doing.

==DMLE==

He drove into the parking lot of an office building. A simple small building, a few stories high made with bricks. A building that clearly existed for a long time, but was well-maintained.

Robert parked the car. He glanced around. The parking lot was full of cars, yes, but nobody was walking about. Robert could- and did- bring the girl in his backseat out.

"Tell me you aren't doing this in broad daylight."

Robert whirled around, barely keeping hold of the surprisingly heavy teenage girl. "S-Sir Chamberlin-"

"Lord." Dominic corrected. He did not roll his eyes, that wouldn't suit a man of his station. He breathed through his nose, staring down it at Robert's poor state. "What exactly was your plan? To just walk her in the front door?"

"Sorry! Sorry, Sir- uh Lord-" Robert's grip on the girl slipped. Robert moved fast to catch her, keeping her in his hold.

Dominic blinked blandly, looking up to the sky. "Drive around the building. She's not to be seen by the others."

Robert nodded. "Right. Sorry but-"

"You wasted your chance for questions. Just follow my orders." Dominic instructed.

Dominic turned on his feet. He walked away from the officer. Dominic walked back inside.

A January breeze blew in from the closing doors, making Dominic all the more grateful for the heated lobby. Few people stood in here, only a single receptionist and a handful of people waiting for meetings with Dominic's underlings.

Those here for meetings would have a while longer to wait. The Travelers in the building would be working for the next few hours. Dominic made sure all of them had a heavy workload, ensuring that no one would have time to distract him from his mission.
