She arrived at the alleyway before Frankie, so she was the first one to be able to make a good observation of the area, so she knew what was where, and if there was anything unusual going on. She stood in a shadowed corner, facing the entrance to the alleyway, so that she could see Frankie clearly when he entered. Since it was daytime, it was not entirely dark, and she was just standing in shadows so of course she felt kind of, sort of safe. She could not think of another way that Frankie would use to enter the alleyway. Maybe jump down from one of the roofs of the buildings surrounding her, or in a somewhat similarly dramatic way? She did not really know this man, so she just waited. If things went wrong, she could simply fly out of the alleyway, just like that. She doubted Frankie was a mage, otherwise he could have handled the job by himself. Anyway, so the mission was simple. She pretty much got the idea of what she was supposed to do. All she needed now was to meet Frankie because he wanted to have a little conversation with her about probably how he wanted her to handle things, which she was fine with and agreed for it it happen. Now she waited, wishing that she had brought her pack of cigarettes with her.

Frankie’s eyes lit up as though she had told him he had won a lottery ticket or that his father was dead. She could not tell exactly, as his expression was quite confusing to read. “Phantom Lord,” he spoke the name of her guild like it was the name of his childhood crush or his worst enemy. Again, she could not tell exactly. Bianca nodded with a smile, a little bit puzzled but she did not pay much attention to it. Mr. Marino then started speaking, basically everything she had already read on the job paper, but it looked like he wanted to make sure that she knew what he wanted her to do, and so that she did not make any mistakes or missed any of the details. Bianca listened attentively. Or at least, she pretended to be listening attentively. Her eyes never left his, but his wandered to the surroundings sometimes probably to make sure that nobody was eavesdropping them. Once he was done, he added that he wanted Bianca to make it known to the outsiders that they were not welcome at all here. “Yes, that is all. Do return to me after the job is done. You’ll know where I am,” said Frankie with a smile and left first. Bianca did not want to be seen walking around with him, so she waited for time to pass after Frankie left, and then she walked out of the dark alleyway on her own, heading out into the streets.

Bianca was a professional at pretending, so the two men who were threatening store owners did not even notice her in the slightest. They were too busy doing their nasty work. All Bianca needed in the time being was some information so that she could use it against them. She pretended to be looking at things displayed out in front of the stores that lined the Oak Streets. She actually felt like buying the little clay pot she was seeing at the moment. Although her ears were focused on receiving anything useful the outsiders might say, she was simultaneously thinking of whether or not she really needed this clay pot. Multitasking. That was also something Bianca was good at. The storekeeper was looking at her with great interest, she could see from the corner of her eye. She raised her head sharply so that she was facing him with a knowing smile. It was probably because of her signature flower that covered her right eye. The storekeeper was probably surprised for a moment there, but he regained his composure and asked if there was anything in his shop that caught her interest. Bianca smiled and said in a sweet voice, “I’m just looking around.” The storekeeper nodded with a bemused smile. He seemed pretty confused about things for some reason. Was it still because of the lily? Or was he confused about other things...did he notice that she was not human? Her pale complexion, scarlet irises and slightly protruding fangs?

Not because they were stopping at every goddamn shop, but because she had just left the clay pot shop and since they were going to be spending their time at that other shop, she decided to return to the clay pot shop. The storekeeper gave her yet another confused smile as she returned. “I’ll take that,” she said quickly, pointing directly at the nicely made clay pot that sat gracefully on the sheet of newspaper that covered the table. He nodded immediately and started to wrap the clay pot in another sheet of newspaper that he pulled out from under the table to make sure that it did not break. He seemed to know that Bianca was in a hurry so he worked fast and told her how much it costed while wrapping it. She brought out some money that she had on her and handed it to him, not bothering to take change from him as she grabbed the wrapped clay pot that was in a bag now. She then turned to check on the outsiders. They were still there, being nasty as always. She moved forward, looking at other shops as if she was just a simple passerby interested in the products the shops displayed. Of course her lily attracted a lot of attention, also from the storekeeper of the next shop she stood in front of. But she did not mind. Her attention was elsewhere. To be exact, she was listening to what the outsiders were saying.

She had a small conversation with the storekeeper while listening to the outsiders at the same time, and when she noticed that they were leaving to the next shop, she left the current shop she was at and went to the next shop that the outsiders had threatened. She repeated what she did with the previous shop, reassuring them once again that those men were nothing but outsiders trying to be nasty and that there was nothing to worry about. She asked them what the men told them and the storekeeper (and her nephew probably) repeated what the men said. “I see. Well, there’s nothing that you should be worried about. They’re not good men. Have a nice day,” she said with a smile. The outsiders were fast with their last shop, so she walked a bit and then hid in the space between the next shop and the shop that she was just at. She did not want to be seen at this point and ruin the whole mission, so she decided she would be safe if she hid for a bit and then went to the next shop only after the two men had gone a bit further from it than they were now. About three or four minutes later, she decided to take a peek from the space and saw that they were far enough. She visited the last shop they visited and began her little explanation and reassured the storekeeper of that shop.

With a triumphant smile on her face, Bianca decided her job was done and headed back to where she had agreed to meet with her client. It was a coffee shop this time, it was one of those coffee shops that people did not usually go to. It was dimly lit and when she entered she noticed that it was a pretty shady looking place. This was good, she thought. It would be weird to be receiving cash from someone in an actual coffee shop where people would be looking. It would be pretty awkward. It would be obvious that they were doing some shady business, she thought. So when she arrived, she went straight to the booth where Frankie was sitting at, taking the seat opposite to his. She greeted him with a small smile and he smiled back as well. “They’re gone,” she said as soon as she settled into a seat. Frankie ordered coffee for her which she did not refuse or object since she felt like having some coffee. The man then placed a little pouch on the table and pushed it towards Bianca. She grabbed it and put it in the bag that held the clay pot so the pouch sat inside the pot. Frankie asked what it was and she simply said, “Oh, I felt like purchasing this on the way,” with a nervous laugh. Frankie laughed a bit and they had a conversation. After the coffee, Bianca said goodbye and left.
