"I'll start my search in millfields to see if any of the nobles or guards have any connections or have heard of Glover." Jane says as she packs her bag. Jane begins to pack dried meat, dried fruit and a canteen of water, "Thank you for everything." She says to elder couple, "I think I'll stay for dinner, my mouth is watering for some of Alice's cooking." Jane says with a smile and humorous tone causing Alice to smile abit.

Alice claps her hands and rushes to the kitchen, "Well since we are all hungry and since its Jane's birthday, I'll whip up something special."

John smiles, "I think she's in a much more joyful mood than yesterday." He walks over and pulls Jane into a hug, "Happy Birthday Jane." He hands her a bag of gold.

"Wait John you have already given me too much, I-I can't accept this."

"Take it, Jane you'll need it eventually." He places the bag in her hands but she remains silent, "please."

"John, dear could you come here for a second?" Alice calls, her hands covered in flour.

"Yes dear." John winks at Jane and smiles as he walks to the kitchen.

Jane, Alice and John all sat down at the table, eating in silence. Jane was beginning to get annoyed at it, "This is delicious, Alice."

Alice smiled and dipped her spoon into the creamy soup, "Thank you, Love. It's called Miso soup." She ate her spoonful and smiled.

The tension at the table was almost unbearable for Jane and she begun to think about what it's going to be like on her own. What if she faces her father's Killer? What if she isn't able to avenge him? All these questions made her feel stuffy and making her lose her appetite, "I'm going to go out to get some air." She put on her coat and holster with the dragonstomper in it and walked out of the house.

"Be back soon, I also made cake." Alice shouts to her.

Jane walks around the house fooling with her pistol, "I have to admit I really am scared of what's to come. What if I'll never find him? What if I never come back here? What if-" she suddenly heard ruffling in the trees and pulled out her gun, "Who's there?" she growls. After a bit of silence she is startled and relieved when a rabbit hops out from where the ruffling was, "Ugh, damn rabbits I be-" she feels a sharp pain in the back of her skull and everything goes black.

"Well, well, well look at this pretty little one here." Jane hears a voice as she beings to feel herself awake into a painful consciousness.

"Don't touch her Phil or else Glover will have our heads." A stern voice warns. Jane realizes her hands are bound and everything is blurry.

A pain in her head begins to grow and liquid pours down the side of head but she manages to make a sound, "Wha?" she sees two large men sitting in a chair drinking.

"She's awake. Time to get Glover." One of the men stands up and walks out of the room.

By now Jane is almost fully awake and is a raging storm, "YOU FUCKERS LET ME GO! I'LL TEAR OUT YOUR INSIDES AND CHOKE YOU WITH THEM UNTIL YOU ARE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COLOR!" a man with a large axe stomps into the room with a dangerous look in his eyes that Jane immediately recognizes, "No..." terror begins to settle into her body.

The man with the large axe steps into the light. He smiles with rotten teeth and a large scar across his eye, "Oh yes, my dear you see this?" he points to the scar on his eye, "This was the last thing your father did before he screamed in pain as my axe made its home into his body."

Jane growl and tries to squirm out of her bounds, "I'LL KILL YOU!" Glover just laughs and make a gesture to his men. Moments later the men drag two bodies into the room and Jane chokes on her words, "No…please…what do you want?" she can see that the two bodies are Alice and John but they are knocked out.

Glover smiles and takes out his axe, "Well, what I really want to do is chop all of you into little pieces and feed them to my hounds." He sees Jane's eyes widen and laughs, "But I'll make you a deal in exchange for the lives of these two sods."

Jane frowns, "What do you purpose?"

Glover smiles, "I will give you 3 years to pay your father's debt."

"Which is?"

"500,000 gold"

Jane frowned and looked at the ground for a moment before lifting her head and making her decision, "Deal."

Glover clapped his hands and put his axe away, "And if you fail to bring in the gold, well I'll be paying these two a visit."

Jane nodded her head trying to hold back her tears, "Very well, they are unharmed?"

"They won't even know about this little meeting and I trust you don't tell them."

Jane nodded her head and looked at the pool of blood next to her which she figured was from her bleeding head, "I will bring you your gold and then kill you."

Glover gestured his men again, "We'll see deary."

Jane felt another sharp pain and her world went black once again/
