Grasping Nicole's hand, you quickly pull her to the left as you move down the street at a brisk pace. You turn right at the first corner, and then left again at the first major street.
"Where are we going?" demands Nicole. She is not digging in her heels and trying to stop you, but you are having to pull on her hand.
"just now," you answer as you keep to the pace, "Away from the inn. Those guard are distracted right now, but eventually they will realize I left with you, and some of their coin. They are probably not determined to get you and the coin back, but neither of us wants to take any chances on that. So we did a little dodging so they can't easily spot us and now get away as fast as we can without attracting attention. Now come along."
"Well, you can tell me your so-called way to get rich while we are running."
"I suppose. We are moving too fast for someone to overhear unless we can spot them... You've heard of the princess getting kidnapped?
"Sure. It's a big fuss, but only for those above the salt." Nicole answers, "What's that got to do with poor people like me?"
"Nothing directly as far as I know," you acknowledge, "But the reward for her recovery interested the Golden Gloves."
"Golden Gloves? They're some some group of adventurers, aren't they?"
"I really don't know much more than you do." You admit, "I just know they have a theory of what happened to the princess, and they are willing to give me gold on that basis. And there is more gold if things work out."
"That still doesn't say why you want me," Nicole scoffs, "except for is not going to happen."
"True, I could use a more willing partner here," you acknowledge, "But just maybe you will work even better..."
"The Golden Gloves gave me a name, and a little gold. They figure he is involved some way and if we can get information out of him, or even clear him, we will get more gold, maybe lots of it. They also gave me a lot of information about this guy, including that he likes girls a lot. So you are going to be the bait, and I will be the hammer."
"I am not going to seduce him!" Nicole is quite absolute on the point.
"It would be easier if you would, but we can manage if you can manage to play innocent and helpless."
"Yeah? How is that supposed to work?" Nicole is clearly skeptical.
"You go up to him with a sob story about being all alone in the world, while insisting you won't. My guess is that he will try to lure you into an alley and then rape you, at which point I will step in and we will give him the choice of talking or explaining to the law and the wife just what he was doing in the alley with you."
Nicole thinks for a moment as the two of you continue to move briskly along. Then ... "If you don't get there in time, I'm killing both of you."
"Please, not until after we get paid." you halfway joke, "Don't worry, I should be close to you" No sign of anybody following you, or even interested, so you slow down. "Now we have got to get the details down. Just what do you say? How? Do we need another outfit for you? ... We should have plenty of time before he gets off work."
