The Janitorio Robbery[]
I know reading ain’t your forte strength, big man, so read this carefully and slowly.
First: Break into Janitorio’s Jewelers on Whaler Street. Back door, after midnight. The owner lives in the flat above, so be fast about it. No need to be quiet.
Second: Steal something. Anything. We don’t care.
Third: Break the latch of the window next to the door. We’ll be using that to break in and steal the real loot the next night. You’ll get a half-share of that loot

Last night’s break-in has me shaken. It was obviously a threat, but from who? A former customer? People need to get over themselves. So they feel swindled because they didn’t read the contract, and suddenly they’re all sensitive about it? It’s not my fault they’re stupid, but now they’re threatening me!
Look, if they want the shop gone, they can have it gone. I have good insurance now… and this place needs a renovation. I’ll tell Miss Fortune’s men that it was that gang of former Jagged Hooks! They’re bad enough in this part of town. I’d be doing the city a favor, pinning it on them!
I’ve moved all the valuables out of the shop and rigged small powder kegs to all the doors and windows. If they try to break in again, they’re gone!
Rafen,
Our investigation of the Janitorio explosion is complete. No joy, I’m afraid--the Jagged Hooks didn’t do this job. It was the owner himself, actually, and the explosions appear to have come from small powder kegs he’d rigged to all the doors and windows.
We dug up the notes on his previous report. He said an onion was stolen? Not sure why anyone took that seriously. Sounds like a botched attempt to case the shop… turned into insurance fraud. Whoever triggered the traps got away safely, because Janitorio had no idea how to rig a short fuse.
We’ve detained him for risking fire in the city center. Let me know if the Captain wants to make an example of this clown.
