Snapshot tapped his chin as a thought formed in his head. “So... hypothetically, if all these thefts were related and the last major port on the east coast that hadn’t been hit was, say, Miameigh… What day would I have to be there to witness such an act?”
“Hm… Beats me, but, these hypothetical thefts have all been about a week apart, on Tuesdays, and always on shipments bound for out of country. So, hypothetically, the theft could occur as early as tomorrow night,” Griddle said, without missing a beat. An awkward silence fell between the two pegasi.
“Oh, I see.”
“Yeah.”
“Yeah. Okay.”
“Alright. Uh. I have to get back to work, now.” With that, Griddle was off, back to the yard, a few loose feathers trailing in her wake.
“Alright,” Snapshot sighed, followed by a short chuckle, “We got a big, fat lead to go on, but I guess I’ve gotta pack my bags and fly south. I’d invite you along but,” he spread his wide wings to either side, “I’m not sure you could make it. Maybe there’re some ponies in town you could ask about all this?”
