If you haven't already, read this.

As they walk on, the Red Bandit notices the emblem on my cloak.
He recognizes it and decides to engage some banter as they walk.

"Night Crows eh? Let me guess, only a Feather Assassin?"
He remarks.

"Yes but, how- how do you know of the rankings?"
Jackson asks curiously.

"I was in them. A full on Crow* actually"
"Wait, what?? What's it like being one of those guys?"
Jackson asks, surprised.

"Well. Lots of missions, which obviously means lots of money. But acquiring the skill set you have to posses before taking your Blood Oath* to enter the Crow rank is a very grueling task."
"Oh I bet it is!"
"Are you planning to try at it?"
"I am, I already posses the two of the skills. I am a master at stealth, and Katāri. But I- obviously need some work on my swordsman-ship..."
Jackson replies, with a slight tone of pride.

"Yes, indeed you do. That is why I shall train you to be one of the very best"
"Really?"
"You have my word"
"Thank you sir"

Jackson is now a bit more at ease with them, but Fiora is still on edge.
She doesn't trust them.

"Jackson. I- don't trust them... I dunno how explain it but, I- I feel. No, sense that they'll betray us"
Fiora whispers up to Jackson.
"Well, I don't think-"
Jackson whispers back
"You always say to trust you tinstincts right?"

Jackson smiles
"Instincts. And yes"
"Well, these are mine"
"Ok, I actually don't trust them either, but I need to learn his swordsman-ship. Then we can leave, alright?"
"Alright"

We reach there destination, It's a shabby alleyway with spare crates everywhere.
They lead us to a small door, it opens up into a secret bar type thing.
It looks like just an average bar besides the fact there's only a bartender and no customers.
The tables are empty, the chairs on top of said tables.
Jackson isn't impressed, he's seen countless secret bars.

"Is this your hideout?"
Jackson asks.

"Oh blimey no! Not this pig pen"
The Red Bandit replies as he leads the lot to a bookshelf.
He pulls a book and the bookshelf slides to the left, revealing a stone staircase.

"Come along"
The Red Bandit says as he descends the staircase. The two other bandits follow.

"I don't like thi-"
Fiora start saying but is cut off by Jackson.

"Just for a few weeks. To learn some cool sword stuff and get some food then we can steal away in the night"
"Okay, fine"
"It's going to be Okay Fiora"
The two descend the staircase as well.

To be continued...

*This is called a footnote it contains information without stopping the story.

*A Crow or a Crow Assassin, is one of the highest ranking assassin in the Night Crow guild before Master Crow.
The ranks go like this: Hatchling, (Usually a baby born into the creed) Chick, (A toddler that has advanced to the next rank) Feather, Crow, and Master Crow.
The rest are reserved for specific leaders of the creed, with names such as: Grandmaster Crow, and High Grandmaster Crow. Both are positions of the Shadow Council. The Shadow Council are the leaders of the creed.

*(Stolen off of Google) a blood oath is a oath taken by two or more people in which they ceremonially use or exchange each other's blood. broadly : a very serious or solemn oath.
In the Night Crows, your either born into it, or have to take a blood oath. And to advance to the rank of Crow, you have to take another one.
