When he opened the door the first thing he noticed were the three bodies laying on the floor he quickly rushed over and checkedtheir bodies. He found no blood on them but they each had a needle lodged in their necks. He slowly removed one of the needles and smelled it. When he did he had a change in expression. "Yep, that's definitely poison," Alex said with a frown.
He suddenly reacted heard a loud chasing sound coming from behind door at end of the room. He quickly made his way to the door and forced it open. He saw someone running out of the back room. They exited thought the back door, right when he entered the room. He only got a glims of the person but it was enough for him to form a description of them.
He could tell the person that ran out was a woman. She had long raven black hair, dressed in black but that wasn't the noticeable think about her. What was trully noticeable about her was her red skin and short horns.
"Tiefling," Alex said in suprise.
He wanted to stop her but by the time he reached were she was, she was gone. All he saw was the an empty alley. After not finding any signs of the woman he closed the door and surveyed the room. He wasn't able to before because he was focussed on trying to catch the suspicious woman. As he suryaved the entire room before his gaze soon landed on a specific spot in the corner of the room.
In the corner of the room there was a body laying on the ground. Alex could see from the slight movement on his chest that the man was alive. When he got closer to the body Alex make the owner of this store and the person he was coming to meet. He was Rat . He checked the man's body for any injuries but found nothing noteworthy besides a small bruise on the back of his neck.
He could not find any needles like the had with the rest of the bodies he found. After checking that he was still breathing, Alex released a sigh, "That's good maybe he can tell me who that was?" Alex said as he looked at the door the mysterious woman ran out of.
It took an hour for the short man to wake up. He had a confused look on his face until he saw Alex. "What-what happened?" the man asked still in a confused state. Alex gave him a equally confused look, "I don't know, I just you knocked out here and that woman had fled before he could ask her anything." Rat's look seemed to turn serious when he mentioned the woman.
"Did she have red skin?" Rat asked suddenly. "Yes, I think she was a tiefling. Do you know her?" The man simply shaked his head, "No I don't. She just took out my guys and put a knife to throat, before asking me to return it."
"Return what?" Alex asked. "I don't know, she just kept asking me to return it. All I could do was stay silent. I was extremely nervous. Do you know anything about her?" Rat asked in a hopeful expression.
