*UPDATE*
J'Dato reached the gates of Riften and was confronted by a guard who tried to take J'Dato's gold, but J'Dato had seen this so many times at home and was far to clever to be taken victim by a simple shake down, J'Dato threatened to report the guard saying it was clearly a shakedown, the guard backed off and opened the gate.
Just as J'Dato entered Riften he was beckoned over by a big muscly nord hanging around outside of a building who told J'Dato to keep out of trouble and that if J'Dato wanted any dirt on anything it would cost him. J'Dato briskly walked away from this guy and continued on to what looked to be a market in the centre of the city, he then came across a suspicious looking guy who said that J'Dato's pockets looked a little empty and offered him a job to fill his pockets, J'Dato listened to the details of this job and found out he had to steal a ring from one of the stall owners and plant it on another stall owner in the market, this sounded like J'Dato's type of job so he accepted and got to work.
He crouched down and while the man made a distraction J'Dato snuck over to the market stall and stole the ring as he was instructed he then crept over to the dunmer who was watching the distraction and planted the ring in his pocket, the guards came over found the ring and took the innocent elf away. Th man came and gave J'Dato his gold and told him that if he could clear out the ratway under the city and got to The ragged flagon then he could join up with the thieves guild. J'Dato was excited by this idea so he quickly had himself some food he had stolen previously and made his way down to the Ratway and cleared it out.
When he reached The ragged flagon he found the man from the market who introduce J'Dato to the guild master who gave J'Dato the job of breaking in to Goldenglow estate and clearing out a safe as well as burning three of the bee hives outside to send a message. So J'Dato made his way to the estate after being told by another member of the guild that there was a secret tunnel north west of the estate that led right to the door past all of the hired mercenaries, so J'Dato took the advice and went through the tunnel and ended up in the building where he pickpocketed the key to the safe from the owner of the safe. J'Dato continued on to the basemant where he snuck past some more mercenaries and found the safe which he then cleared out.
The first part of the job was completed he then proceeded to the area where the bee hives were, but as he left the building there were a bunch of hired thugs waiting to "teach J'Dato a lesson" J'Dato knew he was no match for the group of thugs if he fought them but J'Dato was a clever cat and lured them in to the mercenaries hired to protect the estate then managed to slip away and watch the fight unfold it finally came down to only one thug left so J'Dato crept up behind him and stabbed him in the back with his stolen, shiny steel dagger. After the thug was dead J'Dato checked the body trying to find out who ordeed the hit on poor old J'Dato and found a note from Anise, who he had previously killed , J'Dato was confused but still had a job to complete so he told himself he would worry about Anise later.
J'Dato found the bee hives and burnt them down with a torch he had stolen from inside the estate. He then returned to the guild and was awarded 50 gold for his efforts and instructed to go and see Maven Blackbriar.
