Chapter 1

"okay, you both know how this works. We get in and we get out. Keep it quick, clean, and simple." I said looking from Tug to Sketch.

Tug chuckled "And what did Marjolaine say to plant this time?"

"Do we always have to make this difficult, I don't want to be caught." Sketch said nervously, as always. Before I could answer Tug, Marjolaine walked out of the darkness.

"I want you to plant these, Leliana." She said flashing papers and a seductive smile at me. I gave her a flirty glance before taking the papers.

"Letters?" I said in a confused tone.

"Not just any letters, My Pretty Thing, love letters. Well counterfeit love letters from one noble to another." She laughed.

"Ah, so the typical sabotage." Tug commented approvingly.

"Do we ever do anything else?" Sketch asked, but not annoyed, more playful. I just couldn't figure the elf and mage out.

"There is nothing more exciting to do, and beside saboteur has become our middle names, no?" I said with a small laugh, scanning the letters. "These are awful!" I laughed at the mushy letters.

"Let me see!" Tug said so I promptly handed them over to the Dwarf.

"Get it done by midnight, don't let the guards catch you, there aren't many there tonight. You know what to do. Plant them somewhere…personal. Then meet back at our place, there are no more missions for tonight." Then before she walked away she brushed against me and whispered "And you should meet me in my quarters for a congratulations on what I'm sure will be a job well done." Then she disappeared into the darkness. I felt myself smiling about later and snapped out of it. I looked at Tug and then Sketch.

"We have work to do boys." I smiled mischievously as I led them through dark alleyways until we reached the Nobles estate.

"The Cousland's? I didn't even realize they played these dirty games."

"How are you surprised?" Sketch asked Tug. "Every noble plays these games."

"Besides don't you remember when we last entertained their party? The girl was sneaking around with some boy when she was supposed to be with some son of her mother's friend." I smiled evilly. "This is what she gets for not learning how to sneak around properly." Tug chuckled and Sketch smiled a little at my comment.

"Where do you think the guards are?" Sketch asked me.

"I would suspect at least one at every outside entrance-except the windows. And probably a few on each floor inside. Marjolaine said it wasn't heavily guarded and she always seems to be right about these types of things, so lets go." I snuck off into the darkness, knowing Tug and Sketch were close behind following my lead. I had earned my position well according to Marjolaine. And I knew I was her favorite, after all I was her Pretty Thing. I smiled in the darkness. I saw a guard ahead and barely audibly I breathed the words "guards. Quick, clean, easy." I snuck up behind one and Wrapping my arm around him I slit his neck with my Orlesian Purse Cutter. I saw Sketch freeze the second guard and Tug finish him with his ax. Perfect. Silently, we positioned the bodies to look as if they killed each other and crept inside.

"The girls room is?"

"Second floor." Tug said knowingly.

"How did you know that?" I asked furrowing my brow.

"I pay attention too." The dwarf said gruffly. I gave a nod of approval. We went through the first floor without a single guard. At the second floor stairwell I stopped them.

"What?" Sketch whispered.

"Take care of the guard over there and Tug and I will sneak past." I paused only a moment before taking off, I heard Sketch cast his spell and tug and I were at the girls door. I opened it and saw a typical bedroom.

"Where to plant these letters then?" Tug asked.

"Marjolaine said somewhere personal, the most personal place is the dresser or bed, yes?" Sketch observed.

"Yes." I bit my lip. "But then, only the girl will see them. We need the mother or father to discover this. Even the brother will do."

"What about the writing desk, in the family hall outside her room?" Tug suggested.

"Isn't that straying too far from Marjolaine's plan?" Sketch said cautiously.

"No. No actually the desk would be perfect." I decided and hid the letters partially under a new piece of paper. I turned to the two of them. "Now, drop your pants." All I got in return were stunned looks. I sighed. "If you drop your undergarments, at least one of you, I can plant them in her room and when the maid who cleans alerts the mother she will be in even deeper trouble.

"I don't think so." Sketch said.

"No sodding way." Tug agreed. I rolled my eyes.

"Fine have it that way." I said as I reached up, and without revealing myself, pulled down my own underwear. I got more surprised looks, and a tad bit of interest from Sketch. I smiled to myself, glad to have finally caught his attention.

"How will those help?" Sketch asked.

"Simple, I'll plant them in the brother's room, no use in letting one child take all the blame." I smiled and skipped into the room across the hall planted the underwear partially under his bed and left. I started down the hallway but they were both still staring at me.

"Did I forget something?" They shook their head at me.

"Then what?" I asked slightly annoyed. Sketch gathered himself first.

"Just um, going through my mind to make sure we didn't forget anything." I smiled and they both quickly caught up with me.

"I never forget anything, you cant in our line of work." And with that we fled the Estate and went back to our place. Immediately I went to Marjolaine's room and closed the door behind me.

"All went well My Pretty Thing." She didn't mean it as a question but I nodded.

"Good." She purred and pulled me closer to her. "Then we have reason to celebrate. Her hand moved down my back until my waist and she stopped. "No under garments?" She arched an eyebrow in curiosity.

"I took them off to get the brother in trouble as well." I said hoping she would approve.

"You are my very smart Pretty Thing." She smiled and kissed me deeply, both of us knowing we would lay together tonight.
