So why did they not just return her magic tome to her? Like, surely the money for the staff (which was said to be higher than the tome and stuff), and the money in that bag, are both enough to retrieve it? So use your ability to trace it (have kid tell where he sold it) and overall status (he's a crimelord! and the buyer is a fencer!!!) to get it back? Could probably even get it back at same price the kid got for it due to the latter.
Yeah really annoyed he got away scot-free. Not only did he steal from within the group (which should be a big no-no), but he also stole from (and locked up etc) someone above him in the hiearchy (which makes it a huuuge no-no, particularly how much importance the boss puts on hiearchy)! And there was a huge risk of lethal force too (that group has made examples of ppl for less)!
Hopefully this is the straw that breaks, making her realize she is better off running away and trying her hand at living by herself. With the staff, some clothes, and that huge starting capital, it should be very doable. Just needs to either get transportation out of their zone of influence to ensure they can't chase her down, or talk with the boss to leave on good terms (could even leverage this event, but would prolly need to give up on the staff then). Likely they will still demand to retain a connection to her (like giving intel or whatever), but that could even be leveraged for stuff like being declared no-touch and given underworld protection, etc.
First I thought I had accidentally read a spoiler, but then I realized it was not surrounded in a huge spoiler-tag that is prefaced with "actually a huge spoiler" text.
Still, that comment really reads like a spoiler.
