I know, im late, also this chapter is a little light (960 words). But still hope you enjoy and thank you for your time.

It was two days and Alex finally found his targets who he dubbed the muscle, wannabe and brain, three scruffy thieves that stole and sold something from 'Ernesto'. Who would provide

Alex with some information if he taught these punks a lesson.

Alex dropped from the roof and landed on the muscle and took him down. He stood and faced the other two, the brain looked like he wanted run, or piss himself.

The wannabe pulled out a knife and lunged, Alex tripped her and grabbed her blade arm, and with a twist and a yank he dislocated her arm.

Alex turned to deal with the brain but he was gone. There was no way he would be able to keep up with someone who knows this town better than him, unless. Alex went back on the roofs and after a few minutes he spotted his quarry. But the thief also spotted him and the chase was on.

Alex followed him to a dead end, for a moment Alex watched him struggle with a door. The thief stopped and looked up, Alex dropped into the alley.

"p-please don't kill me!" the thief cowered, Alex scoffed he'd never kill, but this simple task was frustrating him. So Alex broke both his arms

Alex entered the bar and sat with the marketeer Ernesto, if that was his name.

"Nice job, although a little brutal."

Alex sighed "I was losing patience."

"Anyway here are a list of the members that are outside the town." Ernesto slipped Alex a piece of paper.

"I thought we agreed that you would get me a list of all members of fairy tail."

"What we agreed on, was you teach them not to steal from me, and I give you a list of names.

You upheld your part and upheld mine."

"fine." Alex slipped the paper in his traveling kit.

"I'm surprised you haven't thought about using sorcerer weekly, well it has been a pleasure doing business."

Alex left, he would use the sorcerer weekly, except it was full of lies and half-truths, and he refused to bring an inaccurate report to the master. But just maybe he could use it to at least get some more names.

Speaking of names, alex opened the paper up.

There was half a dozen names, among them was laxus and the Natsu but the name that caught his eye was his second purpose in being there. Lucy hearfilia.

Alex managed to uncover most of the member's identities as the week went on. but he needed more than a list of names, alex needed was detailed information on each mage, preferably with magic types as well. And that led Alex to take a great risk. Not the biggest risk but a great one, especially if he was caught breaking into the fairy tail guild hall.

At least they made it easier by having nobody in on Tuesday night. Hours after mirajane left alex walked up to the hall and started to pick the door. Once open alex slipped inside and lit a candle, and started looking for the master's office.

Alex opened a door to a storage room, he opened it a little more.

Thunk, alex felt something slam into his head. Alex slowly got up after being knocked down from a bucket.

"what the hell." Whoever placed the bucket was skilled. What concerned Alex more was if that bucket was part of some intricate alarm system. But no, so Alex moved on until he entered the master's study, he almost immediately found the member cards and started copying them down to a journal he brought. After copying all the information he considered relevant he noticed a safe in the corner.

It was a simple combination tumbler safe, one alex would need the combination for. But he didn't have the time to look for one, as the first rays of dawn were spreading.

And somebody just entered the building, alex crept out to try and see who it was

"now, where did I put that?" Alex recognized that voice and the beautiful woman it belonged to.

Alex watched as mirajane went about the place, preparing the hall for day. Alex slunk back inside the guild master's study. He had to make a choice either attempt to slip past mirajane a head out the main door, or get out by the window he was currently staring at. If he went slip by mirajane and was caught he had no doubt he could escape later, but if they found his guild mark then the fairies would know something was going to happen. And alex would have failed the guild.

No, he had no choice, he has to go through the window. Alex unlatched the window and climbed out. He was two feet down from the window when his foot slipped, it wouldn't have mattered except he was hanging by his fingertips, and the shift caused him to lose his grip. He fell and landed on his feet.

Pain shot up his leg, and alex cried out. He got back up and hobbled away before anyone could arrive.

A week later, Alex watched erza leave the town on a job. He will have to add that to the letter he was sending out tomorrow. Alex walked to the inn he was staying in.

The innkeeper smiled "didn't break anything else yet?"

Alex laughed "not yet." The innkeeper got Alex to see a doctor after he notice Alex limping a day after the fall. Thankfully they both learned that it was a sprain.

Alex went upstairs to his room and continued working on transferring all the information from his journal to a letter.
