Chapter 257: Deal With

"That's it right there." Tiff pointed at the door of the building the thieves were in last time. "Do you think they would let us in if I knocked?" Hearing the Temple Head's question Tiff thought about it and said. "I think it depends on if the person they have on the door recognizes you."

"You're right I'll just knock the door down." After the Temple Head said this she fired a beam of Light at the door and Tiff saw the whole building shake as it was struck. "I figured they would have some kind of defense on the door so I think I went a little hard." The source of this content is N0veII_bIn

"I think it's fine, it will probably help us convince them to give us what I need." Tiff had already told the Temple Head what they were after on the way here so she was aware of what they needed to do. After a few seconds Tiff saw someone exit the building next to the one they had just attacked and she yelled. "Go back inside!"

A lot of people had come out of the basement shelters since it had been quiet for the last few days so she wasn't surprised someone came outside to see what was happening. Watching them run back into their house Tiff said. "It looks like they don't plan to come out." She had expected the thieves to try and run but it seemed she had been wrong.

"I'll go in first, you can follow me." Nodding Tiff was happy she had been able to get the Temple Head to go with her because it looked like she wasn't going to have to do anything. Standing behind the Temple Head as they walked into the hole of a front door She did her best trying to remember how to get down to the shelter.

"There's a secret door in the basement." Once they made it down the first staircase Tiff pointed at the door and said. "That's it." It wasn't as well hidden as she remembered but she guessed that made sense since she knew where it was. Seeing the Temple Head was about to blow down this door as well, Tiff covered her eyes slightly since they were accustomed to the dark of the basement.

Seeing the flash of the Temple Head's spell Tiff uncovered her eyes to see the door completely gone. It seemed the Temple Head had decided to completely destroy it so it wouldn't be in their way as they tried to go down the stairs. Seeing the dark staircase that would lead them to the metal door that was the last thing they had to get through to speak with the thieves, Tiff said. "Last time I talked to them they used something that made it so I couldn't understand them unless they wanted me to. I'm guessing whatever it was won't work on you so you should pretend it does so you'll be up on whatever they're planning."

Tiff forgot this small detail till now so she thought this was her last chance to let the Temple Head know whatever she heard them talk about was supposed to be secret. The Temple Head would most likely notice almost right away that she was hearing something she wasn't supposed to but Tiff felt like how the Temple Head reacted might let the thieves notice their words were heard.

No one had time to react and before she knew it the thief was gone in a flash. Right after the spell had left the Temple Head's hand Tiff had gotten ready for a fight but surprisingly no one moved towards them.

"Hand it over this time or I'll kill everyone and take it." Tiff heard a brief back and forth between the two thieves that were left before she saw another one of them drop down and hand something to one of the guards before disappearing again. "Bring it to her."

After the Thief's command the guard walked forward and handed the thing in their hand to the Temple Head who after a second handed it back to Tiff and asked. "Is that what you wanted?" Using it the same way she had the last time Tiff saw the thing point her in a direction and said. "It seems to be but it could easily be a fake."

"There is only one way to make sure." The new threat the Temple Head made was understood by the thieves who both started saying. "It's real. We aren't going to try and trick you twice."

"What do you think?"

"Just kill them all, if we believe them and we're wrong they will be gone before we come back." Tiff had other reasons to want to kill the thieves and seeing how little they could do about it she planned to get her revenge while she could. "No please!" Tiff only heard one voice before the Temple Head started firing into the room.

It seemed she had decided to use a weaker spell but it still did the job and soon all that was left of the people inside was parts of their bodies. "Alright I'll go and make sure there aren't any traps and then we can start looking around."

"Ok." Tiff used the time the Temple Head took to make sure it was safe for them inside the shelter to inspect the tracker that had been handed to them. She was unable to really tell but she felt that it was the same one she had held the last time. "Alright it's safe to look around."

Hearing what the Temple Head said, Tiff started looking in the pockets of the three thieves. They had all sorts of things but nothing that looked like the tracker. Throwing all the interesting things she found into a bag Tiff went to the first room on the left and started to look around. After checking all the furniture Tiff could tell they had a hidden place somewhere in the room because there was nothing around that had any value.

Walking back out into the main room Tiff said. "There's hidden stuff in these rooms but I can't find it."

"Don't worry about it, I already called people here to help us look around." Hearing this Tiff Went to the next room to see if she had better luck while they waited for the people from the Temple to get here.
