You're a palace guard working on the night shift- protecting the local ruler from being assassinated while he sleeps, although you can't remember the last time anyone actually broke in. As you're making the rounds one night, you stop as you hear movement down a nearby corridor, despite you being the only person supposed to be up and about in this area at this time of night.

Dimming your lantern to hide your presence and drawing your baton, you peer into the hallway. A decidedly feminine figure is snooping around and, after you close the distance a little, you turn up your lantern as far as it will go, flooding the hall with light, and shout at her to freeze and identify herself. Needless to say, as with any shifty buggers prowling secure areas at the dead of night, she doesn't listen, and bolts. Holy shit, she's fast! Try as you might, you can't catch her, so you do the next best thing and raise the alarm.

Despite a metric fuck-ton of guards combing the entire palace all night, all that turns up is just enough evidence to suggest that you weren't lying about there being an intruder. Sighing, you clock out and head home, knowing you're probably going to have to go on high alert for the next few days- fun stuff, indeed. When you get home, there's a letter sitting on your doormat- no signature.

Picking it up, you read; "You know who I am. We met last night- well, you met, I ran. You were sneaky for a guard- not many would think about dimming the lantern. However, you forced me to abandon my mission, and for that, I mark you for assassination. You have until Saturday night to prepare yourself." Checking the calendar, you notice it's Friday morning.

Thinking over this disturbing letter and the events of last night, you realise that you probably stumbled across a kunoichi infiltrator- rare in these parts, yes, but not unheard of.

What do you do about this situation?
