Laying Down the Law

Fuchsia slammed her hoof against her desk in an unusual display of rage.  Not only had she been thwarted, but she had been thwarted spectacularly; that mad genius Spinneret had gone and revealed herself, and for some Skyros-forsaken reason, the crowds loved that.  And now, one of Equestria's worst criminals was celebrated by the masses!  Why was this bugger so hard to kill?! She took a deep breath.  Hard to kill?  Definitely.  Impossible?  Never.  Any further assassination attempts would garner huge media attention, and one little slip-up would direct the paper trail right back to Fuchsia.  With a heavy sigh, she flipped through her rolodex.  Her contacts were everywhere, from various mafia families to SMILE to organizations SMILE wasn't authorized to know about. Finally, she came to a stop at a pony she could use.  Legislator, from the Solar Party.  Somewhat popular within the party, not well-known outside of it.  Owed her a favor, too.  With a smirk, she dialed the legislator's number. "Sonnet Song!  Great to hear from you, my good stallion.  How is your daughter?...Ah, perfect!  Listen, how would you like to discuss a little...proposition, I've thought up."
