Shortfuse looked to the door and began to walk to it. He opened the door and stepped out without so much as a word to Bella. It seemed her request fell on deaf ears.
After about 10 minutes a pair of guards came in one, a unicorn, carried a cot in his magic. He set it up nearby Bella without so much as a word. The other one set up a fold-out table and sat a bowl on top of it, filled with a simple soup.
They left soon after.

Bella just sat there after Shortfuse left. Her expression had fallen to a sad, disappointed look, figuring that he had outright rejected her offer. She just sat there, mindlessly tapping on the part of the stockade that remained on her hind legs. She observed the room and noted that it was quite secure; her only way out being the door Shortfuse had left from. Her thoughts drifted about how she had relatively little to lose if she simply made Alpha kill Shortfuse for his mistreatment. Then the door opened again.
Bella's face turned to one of quiet amusement as the two ponies placed a cot, table and food nearby her. Once they left the room she wore nothing but a smile on her face. Once the ponies left, she continued to sit there for a bit with nothing more than a victorious feeling. She was glad to see that Shortfuse wasn't a complete prude. Her patience for wearing the magic-inhibitor and stockade ran out when she realized how hard eating soup would be with them on. It took her some time, making use of the pen and switchblade hidden in her illusion, to remove the devices. Once free she hid her gear once more and moved over to the table to put a meal in her growling stomach. She just hoped it wasn't laced with something. Despite an unnoticeable bruise to her face, she was happy with the outcome of the situation thus far.
When the morning would come, Bella would be found asleep on the cot. As much as the room could be, it appeared organized. The stockades were put away, same as the magic inhibitor, ready to be used like a normal household tool. Bella had slept well, confident that her work would not only happen exactly as she described it, but possibly impress Shortfuse. The papers would tell the tale of the poor Chief Judge and further investigations into the accounts would prove that the funds he possessed were removed from several military sources.

Shortfuse would never show up. At about 11am that morning was when he finally made his appearance.
Shortfuse would step into the room and upon noticing the lack of Bella's restraints, glanced around the room.
"Normally, I'd be alarmed but... " He trailed off as he unfolded a newspaper he had rolled up in his wing. "What you said was true and frankly may have given a colleague of mine an opening. I'm late because I was giving a statement, and filing paperwork." He said walking further in.
"In a few hours the House of Lords will demand the Chief Justice resign. At which point a friend of mine will be appointed the position." He explained moving back to the door, opening it and standing aside.
"We had a deal so, you're free to go."

One of Bella's eyes casually opened to spy Shortfuse. She was glad to see that he was taking the situation as well as he was. While she didn't outwardly show it, she was actually sad that one of Shortfuse's friends intended to take the position of the Chief Judge. Jane had kept the actual records of the allocation of military funds and she hoped that her handler, Solaris Strike and Silent Wit would resist the temptation to use them to save the Chief Judge's career. Still, this was but one small step in the many she had to take in the next week.
Bella stretched and then hopped down from the uncomfortable cot. She then worked on brushing a few out-of-place hairs back into place as she spoke to Shortfuse. "I hope that our future dealings are less... hostile. I did say that I could theoretically put you in touch with my employer. Sadly I cannot make this happen soon. We are both out sowing the seeds of chaos for the next week, of which I am now late, but in a week's time we will be meeting in Canterlot. In five days you will receive a letter, detailing where to be and when. If you wish to track my progress, have your spies listen to Cloudsdale, Fillydelphia, Manehatten and Stableside. Is this acceptable for you?" she asked, finally done with what non-magical primping she could accomplish. She looked at Shortfuse, awaiting his answer. She didn't trust him entirely to not put a dagger or arrow into her back.

Shortfuse nodded, quite content so far. "This is acceptable. I will eagerly await for word. Do enjoy your day." He said waiting for Bella to go.
"You should tell your fellows that attacking me is... difficult. Just to avoid future potential confrontations."

Bella gave an polite nod and smile and began to carry on her way out the door without another word. When Shortfuse spoke for the second time, she stopped in place and turned to look at him. "I shall." she replied simply, giving another polite smile before heading out the door that was opened for her. Her pace was not hurried as she navigated her way out of Shortfuse's household and into the streets of Canterlot once more. Once she knew she was well away from Shortfuse's and out of sight she would change to a common pony and make her way to Solaris' manor, eager to give him a new report of this strange turn-of-events.
