There was a note from some guy called Frankie Marino that wanted help for getting money from a shop owner. She was a freelance mage, she could go. So she ripped the paper of the board and headed to the bar where Frankie Marino should be waiting. It seemed the quest had been up for about two hours. She simply went in to get the job, she was the first to arrive apparently as she had hoped. Marino explained what happened and what he needed and he gave her the directions to the shop. She would have to meet him again here as she got the proof that the guy would pay. She nodded and left with the route printed in her head. It wasn’t difficult to find and the shop looked rather shabby so she got the idea why he didn’t pay yet. But it wasn’t up to her to feel sorry for him. She entered the shop and sort of patiently waited for the customers to leave. She had secretly turned the sign from open into closed, no one would enter after her. It didn’t take long for the last people to leave, it were only two others. The man looked at her with a friendly smile and asked if he could help her, ”You might.” she said and walked to the till. She decided to first ask him for the money, which he obviously denied. He explained why not and she shook her head, making sure she didn’t hear him because she didn’t want to care, ”I will ask one more time for the money. If you deny, there are consequences.” but he denied again and wanted to explain again but she simply summoned her magic power to use her straight spear. While she summoned it, she turned her upper body to the right side so her left hand was in front of the right when the spear appeared and she was able to turn it and hit the back of the spear to the man his head and knock him to the ground. It was all a matter of seconds, he was dazed and didn’t understand completely what happened.
She pulled him up with the power of her strength and the spear and let him dangle a bit, it sure asked a lot of strength and she noticed and noted in her head that she should train a bit more, ”Write a note that by next week it should be handed over to the ones that you owe.” The man being not much taller than Alice and thus indeed dangling, nodded and she put him softly back on the ground and let her spear disappear in her dimensional pocket. She waited for the man to write the note and with that piece of paper she left. Not even changing the sign to open, not her problem. She headed to the bar and gave the note to Marino. He gave her the jewels as promised and she counted them again as now was becoming a habit to her. She thanked Marino as he thanked her and walked out of the bar with a pocket full of jewels. Her job was done for today and she could read a book or so.
