Emerald quickly goes back to the building and closes the door behind him. There is a lock and a deadbolt on the door, and the colt closes both.
 
For now that should prevent anyone from coming in, but he is sure it wouldn’t hold very well, especially since the windows are barely boarded up and the large door doesn’t seem to have a lock on it at all, at least from this side.
 
Emerald rushes back to the staircase in hopes of finding Joyride and Loupe among the smoke, but just as he is about to go down the stairs he bumps into something, causing him to fall backwards.
 
“Oh, there you are lil’ perv.” Joyride says, grinning down at the pony before her and swaying slightly, “Saw Nishan and Ruby, so I figured you’d be somewhere nearby.”
 
Emerald quickly gets up and hugs her tightly. Trembling slightly, he says that he wasn’t sure he’d ever see her again.
 
“Hey, hey now. I’m fine, see? Thanks for the help by the way, I’m assuming that was you guys.” Joyride says, pointing down at the smoky room below.
 
Emerald, slight tears in his eyes, says that it was, except for the gas bomb. He isn’t sure who did that.
 
“Well, it looks like you have everything handled. All the kidnapped ponies are downstairs if you need them. Now, If you’ll excuse me.” Joyride says before suddenly falling snout first into the floor.
 
She starts snoring loudly, and appears to have passed out. Emerald gives her a few hard pokes on the flank, but it doesn’t seem to rouse her at all.
