Acacia tied the reins delicately around the door of the barn, and then followed Jurex into the inn. Like any at this time the Inn was full, perfect for a meeting. She followed him in, glancing around for any sign of this associate Jythralo had told her of. Acacia glanced over a few drunken sailors, guards, a young woman…Her eyes flicked back to the woman. Her black hair covered her face, and her chin rested lightly on her hand. She was staring out of the window; Acacia grabbed Jurex on the shoulder and nodded towards her.

“That’s her, its got to be….” Acacia whispered.

“Yeah, ok.” He manoeuvred the various tables towards the one where the woman sat. Acacia followed, eyeing the drunken glances as she walked past. Jurex placed his hand on her shoulder and she glanced up in slight shock. Acacia slid into the chair opposite her and Jurex into the one beside.

“We are the associates,” she nodded and so Acacia continued, “I am Acacia Ratan, and this is Jurex. He will be leading the …..er……’events’.” The woman nodded. “And you are?”

“Hessa, Taiel.”

“Ok Hessa, has he briefed you yet?” Acacia enquired.

“No, not as yet. Only to meet you here. Which I have done.”

“Hmm, yes. Well I might as well brief you now. We are, as you know, to lead an assault on Bassington’s estate. This will hopefully prove easy,” her eyes flickered to wards Hessa “ and useful to us. We take Bassington and his staff captive. We leave the women, servants and children alone. We don’t harm them; there is no need to. The Guards are to be killed.”

Jurex nodded, “And…?”

“And the plunder?” He nodded, “Take any and all for yourselves.”

Jurex smiled, “So the attack. Best to do at night.”

“Of course.” Acacia replied. She looked toward Hessa who was listening intently.

“But where to attack from?” He turned to wards Hessa.

“You have the keys? Yes? Well midnight is the best time. The guard changes then and there are only six. Two stationed at the front entrance, two on the grounds and two at the back.”

“They should be easy to get rid of.” Jurex nodded.

“The servants will be sleeping in the lower quarters. But Bassington is usually up at this time taking care of one thing or another. With his staff of course. If they are not in the office then they will be in the upper quarters.”

“Ok good, it sound easier than I thought.”

“Yes but be careful Jurex.” Acacia nodded and rose from her seat.

“Leaving already?”

“Yes I am afraid I must go, I have briefed you and I leave it in your capable hands Jurex to carry out the assault accordingly. Hessa, farewell. Perhaps we may meet again.”

“Yes, perhaps.” Acacia smiled and headed towards the door. It was all going to plan now.
