Quick mission on another's behalf (6)

I believe the answer is:

errand

(Other definitions for errand that I've seen before include "Journey to deliver message etc" , "Task involving trip" , "purposeful journey" , "light task" , "An ...... of mercy is a journey to relieve distress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
