POV Alex

The sounds of gears turning was all I heard as I stood in an elevator heading down. When the doors opened I was greeted with the sight of neon lights and a small city with four leaf clovers painted on some of the buildings, people walking around in hoods or masks. There was water dripping from pipes from the ceiling and it was hot and humid.

I moved out of the elevator and through the crowd I made my way down one of the roads. I kept an eye on all the people walking as I kept my guard up at all times.

"I better make this quick I really don't like being down here" I thought as I made my way to the middle of the small city toa giant building that looked like a castle made out of stone with a symbol of a raven with red eyes on the front of the building.

Walking up to the big door I pulled out a red card with three gold feathers on it. With a quick press against a square black panel by the door I just stood and waited for the door to open.

When the door opened I was greeted by a long hall with the walls covered in papers and people walking around as they looked at the papers some pulling them off the walls and walking up to a worker at the end of the hall behind a long desk in all black and a raven mask.

As I was walking down I took a few glances at some of the papers. Some asked for a private investigator and some asked for help with body guard work but I just ignored all of that as I kept walking to the end of the hall.

"How can I help you miss?" I looked behind the desk as one of the workers said this. I took a quick look at the worker and I noticed that it was a guy as his build was more masculine but his voice made it hard for me to say for sure.

"I would like to turn in a completed job I took this week if you can do that for me" I asked as I pulled out a paper with the job to steal a diamond bracelet from a rich girl. These jobs where the only ones I took a simple grab and go was all I needed and I didn't like getting my hands dirty and I don't like listening to other people.

"Okay, I will take that right away" the masked man said as he grabbed the paper from me "and can I have your feather card please?" the masked man asked me as I pulled out my red card with the feathers on it and I handed it to him.

With both items in his hand he walked away from me as I stood there waiting for him to give me my money. I took this time to look around and I saw some people crowding around a spot on the wall as they were all talking about something I couldn't hear.

Before I could walk over and look for myself the masked man tapt my shoulder and held out my card as he said " put your money in your card miss with the credit for completing this job you need one more complete job and you can get your fourth feather" the guy said with a little too much excitment than I would have liked.

"Hey what is everyone over there looking at?" I ask ignoring his excitement and pointing over at the group of people still talking about something on the wall.

"Oh that well thats a new job commission that has a high reward and all you have to do is steal something" the masked guy says as I look at the group in wonder how much is the reward for all of them to be looking at it hmm mabye I should take a look too.

"But that's not the big thing about it it's who you have to steal from that is making people talk about it" the masked man behind looked back at him.

" What do you mean and who are you supposed to steal from?" I ask confused and curious about who you have to steal from.

"The Wolfson's" the masked man said and I couldn't help but choke on my saliva as I think about the Wolfson family they are a big family no one knows how long they have been around its like they just existed from the very beginning some believe they are zombies.

While it is crazy to think such childish things about how the Wolfson family acts, it is hard not to think that they are constantly needing to hire new servants and guards with no sign of what happened to the old ones.

"are you ok miss you have been quit for a while" the masked man asked me as he looked at me or what I think is looking at me it's hard to tell with those masks on.

" Ahem yeah I'm good I am just shocked that someone is trying to steal from the Wolfson family" I say clearing my throat as I look back at the group who are leaving the area around the wall and the job is still on the wall.

Seeing this, I decide to take a look at this big job myself as I walk over to the wall with the job and look it over. " hmm the reward is very high" I say looking at the amount of money that is making even me smile at it but the section about what you have to steal is empty.

'Hey mask guy what is the thing you have to steal for this job? It doesn't have it listed on the paper" I ask looking over my shoulder at the mask guy behind me for answers.

" Oh that well that is information you will get if you take the job it is to keep a better security of the job" the mask man said tilting his head at me making him look weird and kind of funny with the bird mask on.

I stare at the paper for a bit as I debate if I want to risk taking the job or not. Is it really worth the risk? I thought to myselfas my hand subconsciously started to reach for the paper.

"Are you going to take the job miss?" the masked guy behind me asked making me realise my hand was already up but before I could put it down the masked man kept talking and said "If you are this would get you your fourth feather making you increase in rank and get more rewards and thats not even counting how much money you can get from just completing the job itself.

Hearing this I hesitate. He is right this could be a huge payoff if I complete it and it is right up my alley. I could finish this and spend the rest of my time just drinking and having fun but the unknown object I have to steal and who I am stealing from makes this tricky even for me.

" I don't think I will" i say as i think about it, I would have to take time and make a plan and that is not even counting the amount of resources I would need to buy to sneak in and out of that place without getting caught.

"Hmm what if I told you that the client would supply you with the resources needed for the job and he has a plan for it already?" the masked man says to me and I look at him in surprise but I quickly get suspicious as the paper on the wall doesn't mention the client's gender and it doesn't mention the client's willingness to help.

"how are you so sure that they will help me?" I ask suspicious of the man in the mask now as I find this all to be too weird or mabye i am reading into it too much and its a coincidence, if i thought like that I would have been caught stealing or killed by now, there is something defenitly wrong with this guy.

"Are you taking the job miss?" that is all the guy in the mask said as I just stood there in confusion. I took one more lookat the paper and sighed

"yes, I will take the job" I say as I grab the paper and look back at him as he nods his head to me and says "ok miss please follow me so we can register you as the job taker and so we can fill you in on all the information you need"

The guy in the mask then turned around and walked back behind the desk and waved for me to follow him. Seeing no other option now I followed him and we walked up some stars that were for staff only.

Seeing this I knew something was definitely off now but I stayed silent about it as down in this city it was full of bad people who are either hiding here, its kind of what gives this city its name the Green Clover a place for the rotten and greedy who are looking for a way to make money or to have fun.

Thats how the Ravens came to be seeing a city with no laws and people who will do anything if given enough money they decide to make this their nest and make a system in the place they made a long hallway of different jobs stuck to the walls for us to take and they were all different levels of jobs and you would be only able to take higher levels depending on the amount of feathers you get on your member card.

After they did this there was a lot of fighting in Green Clover as many people either wanted the same job or wanted to steal a job from someone else. This caused the Ravens to make three rules so people don't kill each other.

The 1.rule is don't fight or cause a ruckus and the 2.rule is don't fake a job completion and the last rule 3. you can't quit a job if you take it.

The penalties for these rules vary but they are always upheld. The Ravens always seem to know what is happening.

After walking for a while the guy in the mask stopped at a white door and he opened it and motioned for me to go in.Seeing this, I just stared at him as I was about to question him before he spoke.

"You don't have to worry this room is like a conference room that is used for meetings. The client will come and he will debrief you on the job and answer all questions

motioned with his hand again to the room.

Seeing as I have no room to reflute him, I walk in and as soon as I do the door is closed behind me leaving me alone. Ilook around and I see there is one table in the room and a few chairs with wheels on them. I grab one of the chairs and Ipush it to one end of the table and I sit down and wait.

I pulled out my phone to play with it as I wait but as soon as I do the white door opens and a man in a full white suit walks in with a bird mask on. I stare at the mask as it looks like the other masks the workers use but instead of black with red eyes it is white with red eyes instead.

The man walked further into the room and I could tell this was serious. He walked calmly over to one of the chairs and pulled one but unexpectedly the chair's wheels started to squeak as he moved it.

I placed my hand on my mouth as I tried to not laugh at how unexpected it was as he left the chair and grabbed a different one that didn't squeak and he pulled up to the table and sat down acting as if nothing had happened.

"Well now that we are here let's get to business I'm the manager for the Ravens and I run this building" the man in front of me said with such a casual tone that I thought I was hearing things as I tried to process what he just said.

"Is this a joke?" I ask as I look around for cameras but my search is interrupted when he says "no I am not joking and the job you took I commisioned it" he says in a matter of factly tone making me even more shocked as I look at him.

The manager of this building but does that mean there are more managers and if he is a manager does that mean there is some one above him this is crazy I just wanted some extra money not to meet the manager I think in a panic.

The manager just sits there as he is waiting for me to talk or ask something or is he expecting me to ask him something? I think for a sec before I ask him "why did you commission the job?" as I ask this I see he nods a little understanding the question.

"Well, here's the thing i was actually given the job by my boss but i am very busy and I decided that I will give the job to some one with four or more feathers on their card" he says as he leans back on his chair but when I hear this i cant help but feel like he was just too lazy to do the job himself but knowing his postion I am deffintly not saying that out loud.

"Oh but I'm not a four-feather I only have three-feathers" I say as I think about his requirements for the job.

"well you are a special case I have seen your records and you only take thieving jobs and you are pretty good at them I believe you are more than suited for this job" the man in the white mask said as he taps his finger on the table.

Hmm he isnt wrong I think to myself "ok but what am I supposed to steal in the first place?" I ask as I feel like this is important to know if I want to steal it.

The white masked man sat up as he stopped slouching and he leaned forward as it looked like he was about to say something big " I don't know"

"what?" I say as I look at him blankly as I wait to see if he is trying to be funny and mess with me or something.

"Yeah I actually don't know what you have too steal I only know where it is that's all the information my boss gave me sorry" he says as he shrugs his shoulders like what he just said wasn't incredibly important for me to know.

"How do you expect me to steal something if I don't know where it is?" I ask him as I am getting annoyed with his carefree attitude all this.

"well, I don't know what but I said I know where " he says as he tabs on the table making it light up and a holographic screen pops up showing the Wolfson's entire estate a huge mansion with two stone towers connected to it making it look like a castle and mansion got squished together and there are small little people walking around it showing how the workers and guards

"This is where the Wolfsons main house is and over here" he says as he points a finger below the hologram. Before the hologram changed and now shows everything under the mansion as many tunnels and long corridors leading down further into the show a big square with nothing in it.

"this is where the wolfsons keep their most valuable treasure and most of the old relics" he says still pointing to the empty square under the mansion.

"There is nothing there" I point out as it remains empty and I see him nod his head through the hologram as he says "well thats because we havent been able to get anyone to sneak in and see it and the few who do make it down there dont make it out" he says waving his hand as if it was useless information.

Seeing this I get a little angry as I say "are you scared to sneak in" but as soon as I say this I remember who I am talking to and I try to apologize but he puts his hand up stopping me.

" yes I am scared to try and sneak in there was one person who got out but it was more like his hands was all that got out there was signs of a bite mark on it too big to be a dog" he says this in a more serious tone making me scared of what I have gotten myself into.

"But don't worry you don't have to go down there. I'm not heatless to send a girl down there when even I don't want to go down there you will be going over here." he says moving his hand back up from the bottom of the estate and to one of the towers on the right.

"what why would I have to go there?" I ask looking at the tower as i try to see if there is anything special about it but it just looks like a stone tower like the one on the left" i dont see anything special about it and wouldnt the Wolfson family keep all the treasusures in the baseement what could be so important about this tower??" I ask as I look away from the tower and at the guy.

"I'm not sure but the information says that what you need to steal is in that tower thats all we know right now" the guy says as he taps the table again making the holograms fall away as he stands up and walks to the door again "come with me I will show you the gear you will be using and when thats done you can go and finish the job" he says leaving the room and me in worry as this job is missing too much information to a simple grab and go but I just sigh and I follow him as I hope this turns out OK.
