Tea Time! [Job]

Zinnia had been called over by some strange old woman, a bored, yet curious look on her face. She really shouldn't be doing this, she thought to herself silently, she should be heading to the next town, to find that supposed 'demon' she had been hearing about. But, then again, this had been on the way, and she couldn't just pass up an opportunity to gain some money. Of course, Zinnia didn't know the exact details of the mission. What she found would surprise her.

With a slight sigh, she knocked on the door, her tail flicking back and forth impatiently. Normally, Zinnia was pretty calm and controlled, sly and logical, but today she was impatient to get whatever this was over with. Not her usual self, to be certain.

There was a click, and the door opened, to reveal an old lady. She seemed innocent enough. She seemed surprised, when she opened the door to find a wolf. Zinnia lightly tipped her head in greeting, and said in her usual, British-like voice, "No need to fret. I'm Zinnia, the one who said she was coming to help you out with your problem. You're Angelica, I presume?""

"Oh! A talking wolf? How peculiar! Come in, come in, my dear," said the old lady, beckoning for the wolf to enter. But as she entered, she quickly picked up the scent of something fowl, and her noise twitched at the smell. She didn't like it. It smelled awful. Like a rotting body, or something.

The woman soon lead the wolf to her living room. The smell was stronger here. It didn't so much as make Zinnia uncomfortable as it did make her curious.

"Anywho, yes, I am indeed Angelica. It's great I finally had someone to do my handy work for me. You see, I was serving tea to a lovely tax collector, when he suddenly fell, dead! I had realized that I had accidentally used poison in his tea, so I would like you to clean it up for me, dear! My son is coming over this afternoon, and I would rather he not discover this.... unfortunate accident!" the woman said.

Zinnia winced, and her ear flicked. As a bounty huntress, this didn't surprise her as much as it should have. Honestly, she worked for both sides. Light and dark. So there was really no need for her to get worked up over a small murder. She did smile some, however, when the lady mentioned she had used poison.

Flicking her tail, Zinnia said, "Ah, ma'am, such a greivous mistake you'e made. Nonetheless, I will gladly accept this challenge, if getting rid of the body is what you require."

Angelica smiled, and walked over to a closet. When she opened it, a dead body plopped out. Zinnia backed up in mild surprise. What a stupid woman, she thought, just letting a stranger see where she kept the dead body. Oh well.

Picking up the body back in her mouth, she grunted, and picked it up with relative ease. It wasn't even that heavy, actually. Chuckling, she mumbled something that sounded to be along the lines of 'I will make sure this is disposed of quickly', before she headed to the front door. However, she stopped, thinking about the intelligence of that plan, and turned back around, heading towards the woman, and asking if she had any windows the wolf could crawl through.

But that was a stupid question. Picking up the body, Zinnia walked over to a window, and using her great strength, hauled the body out the window. Using the tregectory of the body, she angled it so it was thrown onto the sill. She then used the rest of her strength to push the body out the window, before bouncing out after it.

Landing with a grunt, she picked the body up in her fangs, leading it out the back way, into the closest alleyway, so she was less likely to be caught.

As she dragged the body across the concrete floor, Zinnia was thinking to herself while she did so. Thinking about a good place to hide said body. She needed to do this without being seen, obviously. If she was seen, she could be thrown in jail. Well, at least, if someone saw her, she could start running before they had a clear spotting of what she actually looked like, so they couldn't file an accurate report about her.

She continued, glancing around for a good location to bury it. Obviously, she wouldn't be able to bury it here. Maybe somewhere a little farther out. Letting out an annoyed sigh, she continued, turning a bend. She tried to stay low, since she was more septicle to being spotted out here. Smirking, she crawled over to a good looking area.

Suddenly, the she wolf heard a loud crash, and she tensed, her body going stiff, as she prepared to dart at a moment's notice, her tail straightening out in anticipation. Her eyes darted toward the sound, her ears twitching in that direction, as well. To her relief, the crash had only been caused by a cat, knocking over some plants. It screeched loudly, and lunged out into the street.

This was a relief, but that didn't mean more people would arrive soon, to inspect the broken clay pots. Growling, she lifted the body onto her back, and lunged forward, using her inherited strength to race across the neighborhood. She was a bit slower then usual, since she had a body on her back. Slower then she would have liked.

Thankfully, there were few people walking the streets. However, when Zinnia did see someone, she'd jump into the bushes of a nearby house, her body going still as she watched them, holding her breath. The couple soon passed, and she let out a sigh of relief. She decided to rest for a little bit, before she raced into an alley, panting.

She was far enough away from the old woman's house, she thought. Now she could look for a place to dig the body into.

Dragging the body, her eyes focused on gaining the prize, she searched, her eyes peeled for anything that looked like a nice burial place. True, she could dump the body in a trash can, and they wouldn't find it until they took out the trash, but that was no fun. Then again, the woman would get caught if they decided to scan for fingerprints, and something like that could amuse Zinnia. She wasn't one to normally backstab her customers. After all, they wouldn't be able to trace Zinnia, considering she had used her mouth to carry the bag, and her back. And no would would suspect a wolf to do the dirty work. Then again, you never know what the police could do.

Sighing, Zinnia looked around. She soon found some soil, and smirked. Placing the body in some shadows, she trotted over to the person's backyard, leaping the fence, and started to dig. It always amused her when someone else got in trouble. Once the hole was dug, she leaped back over the fence, grabbed the body, and jumped over once again. Placing the body in the hole, she began to get back to work refilling it.

Once the dirty work was done, she sighed, patting it down, trying to cover it up so it looked like she hadn't even been there, and leaped over the fence again, panting, and shaking herself. That had been more tiring then she had expected. Then again, she had been doing all that jumping. Chuckling, Zinnia returned back to the old woman, explaining to her that the deed was done, and receiving her reward.

I don't get how a talking wolf is normal around these parts... but then again a treeman did make this world...
