Chapter 23
The Morrigan leaves River Valley, and we try to find Lawrence's ship.
"If we have any luck that ship will lead us right to him," Liam says.
"I make my own luck Liam, and Washington is running out of his," Shay says. Shay hands me his sunglass and I look for the ship. Then after a moment I think I found it.
"I found the ship," I say, "it's that way," I point to where the ship is, which is about North from our position. Shay nods at me and he looks at his crew.
"Alright men, time to be quiet!" Shay announce to his crew. Liam turns to Shay.
"Lawrence Washington is a powerful business man, slave owner and leading Templar," Liam explains, "we lost track of him about a year ago, I recently learned that he was in Barbados but I haven't been able to confirm that,"
"Now you think he had something to do with the stolen artifacts," Shay says. I look at both of them.
"Well like you said Liam, he is a leading Templar, which means Shay, that it is more than likely that he did have something to do with it, he would know where those are beeping kept," I explain.
"Right you are Kathryn, I wouldn't put it past it," Liam says, "Haiti is a short voyage from Barbados, and his return to the Colonies certainly coincides with the arrival of the artifacts, we can not let the Templar's take control over the Colonies, whatever happens Lawrence Washington must not survive,"
"We'll make sure he doesn't," Shay says. Shay tails the ship, he tells the crew to loose some sail on the ship so that it would go a little slower. Then we are faced with a ship blockade.
"A blockade Captain," I say. Liam looks at Shay.
"Oh, this won't do," Liam says frustrated, " Shay, Kathryn, you must follow that ship on land," Liam tells us.
"We'll do that," Shay says, "you bring The Morrigan around another way," Liam nods.
"Aye Captain," Liam says, "track that package and find Washington," Shay docks the ship, "both of you remember Washington must die," Liam says before we leave.
Me and Shay get off the ship and we follow Lawrence's ship. We follow the ship, which has a mysterious shipment, to the docks. Before Shay can get to the ship I stop him with my arm, he looks at me confused.
"We need to do this as quietly as possible," I tell him, "we don't want a whole group of British soldiers surrounding us now do we?" Shay grins at me and I kiss his cheek.
"What do you suppose we do?" Shay asks me. I look at him.
"Well we can do this the easy way or the hard way," I say, " the easy way is to swim to the ship, it would be the best way to get un detected,"
"What's the hard way?" Shay asks.
"The hard way would to be to try assassinating the soldiers or knock them out quickly, which that would take more time," I explain, "personally, I would like to keep the body count low, but the decision is up to you," Shay thinks for a moment.
"Okay, so that we won't raise to much attention, let's just swim to the ship," Shay decides. I nod, and we both do a leap of faith in a pile of leaves. We reach the docks and we run into the ocean and we swim to the ship. I reach the ship first and I climb onto it.
Once I reached the top of the ship, I see a soldier over looking the ship. I get on the deck and I quietly knock him out. A brute sees me do this and he comes at me with a axe. Shay gets on the ship. I dodge the brute's attack. I get my daggers and I attack him. Before Shay can help me with the brute, he starts getting attacked by another soldier.
I stab the brute with one of my daggers in the stomach. He groans in pain. He drops his axe and then I stab him in the chest and throat. Shay kills the other soldier with his swords.
"You okay?" Shay asks me. I nod.
"Yeah," I say, "let's just find the shipment and get off this blasted ship," We walk around the deck of the ship and then we finally find the shipment. Shay opens the the small long case. Shay picks it up.
"A rifle," Shay says in awe. I look at it awe.
"Well at least you got a new toy Shay," I say. Shay laughs a little. He sees a box of ammo inside the case and he start to load the rifle. But then a soldier comes on the deck and sees us with the rifle.
"You there...." the soldier starts to say but then Shay shoots him with the rifle. It oddly makes no sound. Shay stands there in shock.
"How can that be?" Shay asks, "it makes no sound," I look at the rifle.
"It's extraordinary," I say. Shay grabs the rest of the ammo.
"Thanks for the present, Master Washington," Shay says. Then we go to Lawrence Washington's home, where he will meet his demise.
Lawrence Washington's Home
Me and Shay arrive at the home. We see Lawrence Washington and we hide behind a shed. We see Washington having a meeting with three Templar's that I immediately recognize, Samuel Smith, James Wardrop, and Jack Weeks.
The meeting ends and the three Templar's walk away from Washington. Washington looks so sick. Shay looks at me and shakes his head.
"Shit! He can barely stand on his own two feet," Shay says, "you better be right about him Liam, because we're about to murder a dying man," I look at him.
"Well at least we will make his death a quick one," I say, "if you ask me we're doing him a kindness," Shay nods agreeing with me. Then we go and find Washington and we assassinate him. I kill the guards accompanying Washington, and Shay assassinate Washington. Shay sets Washington down gently on the ground.
"You are too late assassins," Washington says. Shay kneels down beside him.
"It's never too late to ruin Templar plans, Master Washington," Shay says. Washington coughs.
"But my plans are already in motion, even leading you both here," Washington says and he coughs some more, has given my allies time to escape,"
"Tell us where they are going," I ask harshly Washington snickers.
"Thank you for making my death a quick one," Washington says and then he dies. Shay gets up.
"Thank you for revealing your master plan, you scheming snake," Shay says. I look down at Washington's body.
"Mhà thu fois ann an sìth (May you rest in peace)," I say in Scottish Gaelic. Me and Shay look around and people are screaming, and soldiers are coming after us.
"God dammit!" Shay says frustrated, "Liam I hope you brought the ship around," we run back to the ship and then we hear a ship moter in the distance.
"Is that a ship moter?!" I yell. We run faster to the ship. We finally get back to the ship, and it it being hit by moters. Shay takes the wheel and he get the ship out of danger. Once we were out of danger Shay given Liam the news about Washington.
"Lawrence Washington is dead," Shay says melancholy like.
"You look disappointed," Liam tells Shay.
"The sickly way that man looked," Shay says, "he would have been dead in a month anyway,"
"Two other Templar's got away, there looking into the Manuscript and Box," I say.
"Did they have the artifacts?" Liam asks me. I shake my head.
"No, not that I know of," I tell Liam.
"I think that you both did was right with the Brotherhood, we will find the artifacts soon enough" Liam looks at Shay, "cheer up Shay, the day will come when the citizens cause chaos among the Templar's,"
"Perhaps, but to hear Washington speak, it didn't sound like the Templar's would be too put out by the loss," Shay says. Then we head back to Davenport Homestead.
