A few days later three cops arrived at the warehouse that was Rick's hideout. Eleven police ponies were there, including Richard, and John.

Richard: *Stops car* We gotta get past that gate.
Cop 1: *Cuts lock to gate*
Richard: *Opens gate*
Cops: *Go past gate*
Richard: *Shoots lock to door*
Cop 3: *Opens door*
Richard: *Looks around* Clear!
John: *Checks por truck* Clear!
Richard: *Goes to another part of warehouse* Clear!
Cop 2: *Checks in trailer* No one is here.
Richard: *heads out of warehouse* Hold up *Sees blood on ground* I got blood. *Opens trash can*

There in front of Richard was Jim inside the garbage can. He was dead.

Several hours later at Richard's de praia, praia house.

Richard: *On balcony*
John: *Below balcony* *Knocks on door*
Richard: *Looks down* The door is open.
John: *Looks up* Ok *Enters house*
Richard: *Goes downstairs* Who are you?
John: I'm John Hooper, I was with you earlier at the warehouse. Now I'm your new partner.
Richard: *Sighs* Alright, but listen very carefully. If there is anything that I wanna do right now, it's to arrest that douchebag Rick Masters. I don't give a damn how I do it.
John: He killed your other partner, didn't he?
Richard: He wasn't just my partner, he was my best friend. I want Masters to suffer for what he did.
John: I don't blame you.

The seguinte morning at the Los Pegasus Police Headquarters

Richard: *Walks to Chief Thompson's office* oi Toby?
Toby: What?
Richard: Can I talk to you?
Toby: Sure. What do you want?
Richard: It's about my new partner, John Hooper.
Toby: What about him?
Richard: I was hoping I could get somepony else to be my partner.
Toby: Look, it's only been 13 hours since you've been partners, and all you did was have a short conversation about Jim. Like it or not, John will be your partner.
Richard: Understood.
Toby: Good. Now I have an assignment for you two. I want you to go to the airport, and stop a laranja unicorn named Jeff. He is going to try, and make his way to Manehattan with some counterfeit money that Masters gave him, and we need to stop him.
Richard: You can count on us sir.
