[streets of The City]

​

[Gregory is sitting inside an inn at the table at a window, it appears as if Gregory is waiting for something, the streets outside are rather calm and safe at this time of the day[13:45] Gregory has already ordered a drink and is enjoying it waiting for someone, the sun is shining outside as few rain droplets drop onto the brick street outside the "The Reeking Corpse"]

A man in an elegant suit walks inside the inn, looking around for someone as he wipes the tears of sweat off his face. He then walks to the table where Gregory was sitting at and sat down. " Got something new? It's not usual of you to ask me to meet you at day time. What is it ? " Connor said as a man walked to him. " Would you like a drink, sir ? " the man asked.


" Whiskey would be good. " Connor said.


The man nodded and walked back to the bar, grabbing a bottle of whiskey and pouring it into a glass.


" Thank you. " Connor said and gave the man a small tip. " Alright, so what is it ? " he asked.

Gregory looked at Connor and then said in a somewhat quiet tone "People have been dissapearing all around the city, and that means something bad is happening, but there are also other things happening, like royalty people arriving, you know what that means." afterwards Gregory put his hand inside his pocket and pulled out a paper envelope, it had a royal stamp on it. Gregory handed it to Connor and then said "I'd love to go with you, but I can't. The address is on the envelope." afterwards Gregory took a sip from his glass.

Connor grabbed the paper envelope and placed it into his pocket. He then looked trough the window.


" It can't be... " Connor said on a quiet tone.


The new Thief Taker General was patrolling the streets and was heading to the inn.


" Crap, I gotta go . " Connor said on a quiet tone as he grabbed all his stuff and leave the inn in hurried steps. As he gets to the door, a big man with a horrible, scarred face stops him , pointing his sword at him.


" Where are you going, sir ? You have to pay the rent... " He said as he pushed Connor back. " Everyone in the inn has to pay the weekly rent ! " the man then proceeds to say. "


" The Thief Taker General in person... You're uglier than I thought. " Connor said disgusted and then proceeded to grab a small ball and throw it down. The ball started emitting smoke, which dizzied and confused the guards. Connor ran outside as he knocked some of the watch guards, sitting in his way. He then climbed onto some houses and ran back to the Clock Tower. As he got there, he walked to his bed and laid down. As his eyes were closing, whispers interrupted his rest. He stood up and started checking around the source of all these whispers. After he checked all the corners, Connor started having a horrible headache. He tried to walk back to the bed, but ended up falling down unconscious on the floor. As he woke up, the room he was into turned into a ruin, full of weird plants and sounds. Connor looked around and noticed a painting on the wall. He moved his hand and placed it onto the paint. The paint was of a man, looking like a thief. One of his eyes was looking strange. As he checked it, he found a small hidden keyhole. The painting was hiding a safe. He lock picked and opened it. He grabbed a small glowing crystal piece.


" Strange... " he said.


In a moment he woke up.


" It was a dream... " Connor said.


As he checked one of his pockets, he pulled out a small piece, similar to the one in his dream.


" It wasn't a dream... What's going on ...? " Connor wondered.


It was night time. Guards were patrolling the streets as the citizens were going inside their homes. Connor readied up and went to the address Gregory gave him.

[When Connor got to the address, Connor was hiding in a bush as he observed the area, he saw: A large house that looked like it had tons of rich people in it, the house had three floors and there were a fair amount of guards patrolling outside as rich people went into the large house, it appears they were having a ball, then Connor remembered that his main objective should be stealing something valuable, but he could also try and find information about the dissapearings. There was a rich man alone on the balcony of the building, the balcony doors were open]

Connor quietly walked to the house, hiding in the bushes in the house's garden. As he looked at the house, he noticed a ladder. He climbed up to a small wooden platform. As he looked trough one of the house's windows, he could see the first floor, full of rich people and guards. Connor looked around and noticed an open window above him. He climbed up and entered a small room. As he walked to the door and peeked to the keyhole, Connor noticed he was at the second floor. In a short moment, he opened the door and went up the stairs to the third floor.


As he got to the third floor, Connor could see ten guards patrolling in there, as the rich man was sitting at the balcony, smoking a cigar. Connor threw a smoke bomb onto the floor. As the guards stared at the bomb rolling trough the room, the smoke raised and Connor bashed out of the closet. In a short moment he grabbed a guard and hit him with his black jack. As the guards were talking to each other confused in the smoke, Connor was knocking them down, one by one. As the smoke vanished , Connor walked trough the last clouds of smoke to the balcony. As they saw him, two guards ran to him. He grabbed both guards and banged their heads together, then kept walking to the rich man on the balcony. As he got there, Connor grabbed the rich man.


" What is going on, why is everyone disappearing ? " Connor said as he was holding the rich man.


" What should I know ? You are a criminal scum, a murderer. You are not going to get me talking. " the rich man said.


Connor slammed his face onto the balcony railing.


" I don't kill without thought, or a good reason. Now talk ! " Connor said.
