Handling the Mugging [Mission, Private][674 / 500 Words]

Mission Taken – Stop the Mugging:

Nalla looked down at the detailed mission scroll in her hands that she had just unrolled. The mission spoke about a mugger who had been going around for some time now causing a bunch of trouble. He had stolen a good bit, and frightened a decent amount of people. So far he hadn't really seriously injured or even killed someone but they wanted the problem handled before it escalated to that. All of the reports on the man said that his motive of operation was to sneak up behind his victim, victims that were mostly women with only a small percentage being men, and to put a knife to their throats. Nalla planned on showing the man the error of his ways as soon as she found him.

Since muggers liked to strike during the evening hours Nalla killed an hour sugaring herself up with a milkshake at one of the nearby restaurants; seated outside so that she could keep an eye on everything around her and perhaps get a lead on this mysterious mugger who was terrorizing the villagers.

Some of the shops began to close around her as night settled in and the color shot sky darkened to a midnight blue. Nalla got up from her table and left behind a hefty tip before taking off down the street slowly. Hands were stuffed in her pocket and she pulled her jacket mostly closed against the chill that descended on the desert; it was what some people didn't realize about such a hot place, it could get seriously cold at night, or at least cold enough to be uncomfortable for someone who had lived in the village their entire life. As Nalla moved down the street her orange-red gaze darted from left to right; she noticed several young looking woman who looked like they would make perfect targets walking ahead of her, each some distance apart from the other which showed clearly they weren't together in a group.

Several of these women passed by the mouth of an alley way without problem while the last one suddenly was dragged into it by a hand that darted out of the shadows. A scream was quickly stopped and Nalla figured that the mugger likely had put his hand over her mouth to silence her. Without wasting any time she darted across the street and took off in the direction of the alley way. She reached it moments later and slipped inside just in time to see the women with a knife up to her throat and her pockets beginning to be gone through. Before the robber could pull out any money though Nalla had her own kunai knife to his throat which she had removed from her pouch as she ran. "Let her go or I'll spill your blood right here and let you bleed our in this filth filled alley way. Choice is yours but make it fast."

The mugger released the woman who backed away, said a hurried thanks, and then bolted out of the alley way without having to be told so by Nalla. Now, while she had no true intention in killing the man, evident of the knife moving away from his throat as soon as the helpless female was gone, she did plan on giving him a severe ass beating before turning him over to the authorities. "So, you like to pick on people weaker than you? Let me give you a dose of your own medicine.", with that said she began to launch punch after punch and kick after kick; leaving the man badly bruised and sporting two black eyes, a bloody nose, and several missing teeth. The beat down took all of about three minutes before Nalla had got the majority of her aggression out of her system.

She then pulled the mugger to his feet and took off with him in tow, handing him over to the proper authorities before heading to the administrative building to turn in on her successful mission and to collect her payment.
