It's been precisely a week since Third Wish completed their first mission. The air of Cinnabar City's scent of cinnamon filled the streets.

Romeo sat in his armchair, his team members gathered around him in his spacious living room. The sun was setting, casting a warm glow over the room as they began their meeting.

"Alright, team," Romeo began, "we've hit a bit of a roadblock in the past week on our investigation of Jonathan Goldhand. We need to regroup and come up with a new strategy."

Leon leaned forward, his orange eyes focused. "What do you suggest, Romeo?"

Romeo shrugged. "I'm not sure yet. We need to keep digging, I've been researching the files and his journal but nothing has popped out yet, but we also have a new mission."

He pulled out his red phone and showed the team the official guild app. "We're now listed on here, and we've been assigned our next job."

Sonny leaned over to get a closer look at the screen. "What's the mission?"

Romeo scrolled through the details. "We're protecting and looking after an elderly woman named Evelyn Walker for the next week. She's been having some trouble with a mischief spirit, and the next available exorcist isn't until the end of the week. We need to keep her safe and make sure she feels comfortable until then."

Leon's eyes lit up "Walker!? That Walker!?"

Romeo nodded "Yes Leon that Walker, Which is why it is the utmost importance we complete this operation as smoothly as possible."

Scut Silver laughed. "So, ye glorified babysitters?"

Romeo shot him a warning look. "No, we're protectors. This woman is scared and needs our help. We take this seriously."

The team nodded in agreement, and Romeo continued. "We'll take shifts staying with her, making sure she's okay. Sonny, you take the first shift with me starting tomorrow morning. Leon, you'll take over for him in the afternoon. Scut, you'll take the night shift."

Romeo leaned forward, his eyes shining with excitement. "Guys, I have some great news. Miranda from Mystical Medallions reached out to me yesterday, and she wants to discuss our guild emblem and badge design."

Sonny raised an eyebrow. "What's the big deal? Can't we just design it ourselves?"

Romeo shook his head. "Miranda is the best of the best when it comes to this kind of thing. She's worked with some of the largest guilds in the country, and her designs are flawless. We need her expertise to make our emblem stand out."

Scut Silver leaned back in his seat. "So, what's our plan?"

"Leon, you're up," Romeo said, turning to his team member. "I want you to go to the meeting with Miranda tomorrow and show her all of your sketches. We need to make sure our emblem is perfect, and I know you're the man for the job."

Leon's face lit up with excitement. "You got it, Ro. I've been working on some designs for weeks now. I can't wait to show her."

Romeo smiled. "Perfect. Scut, I need you to do some research on Evelyn's estate. I want to make sure we know everything about the layout of her house, spirits like to hide in dark hidden corners."

Scut nodded, pulling out his phone. "I'll get right on it."

Sonny stretched his arms. "And what about me?"

Romeo grinned. "We will be paying Evelyn a early visit, introduce ourselves. That sort of thing."

The team dispersed, each going their separate ways to complete their tasks. Romeo and Sonny made their way to Evelyn's estate, Leon went back to his apartment to finalize and choose the best sketch to show Miranda for the next day and Scut Silver returned to in his words base of operations which is actually his black van parked in Romeo's driveway.
