TheWoWDBIf you forget to turn this quest in before leaving your party and being transported out (like I did), you can run back into the instance (the old school way!). Horatio Laine will be at the beginning of the instance right after you zone in and there are no unfriendly mobs to deal with to get to him.

Cookie came out and attacked before I got the quest, after accepting it, I waited for 10 minutes for Cookie to rerez but no luck.
Had to reset and go through again.
Don't be so quick to kill Cookie.. eat the food he throws for a *massive* buff. Especially helpful for lower levels.
However there may be a glitch.. because Cookie came out and attacked before I received the quest.

Description
Hello there, {name}. I've heard a great deal about you. Listen closely, you're only going to have one solid shot at this. The new Defias Kingpin must be inside the hut orchestrating this entire operation. I want you to go inside and take her down, for the sake of the hundreds of innocent people the organization her father started has killed and terrorized. I'm shocked that she would let you get so close to her domain without fleeing and waiting until more favorable conditions, but it seems we're in luck.
