Myth and Chance [Uncharted 4 A Thief's End: Nathan Drake x OC] [Book 4: ON HOLD]

Historical Research

I gripped the side of the ship and my gun as Nate drove the ship. "Ah, crap." He says as he tells me and his brother to hold on. "Crank it!" He yells and I start shooting towards the other boat with his brother. "Nate drive better!!" I yelled as we kept accelerating and shooting.

"Just keep going!" I yelled but I got thrown off the ship. I resurfaced and Sam stopped the boat as I got on. "I'll cover you." I said and began shooting with my trusty desert eagle. "How's the engine?" Nate shouted, "Making progress, and I got it!" Sam yelled as Nate drove the boat faster through the water until we all got thrown off into the water.

Saint Francis' Boy's Home [Young Nathan's pov]
---------------------------------------------------------

I sat as one of the nuns reprimanded me. "He took my book." She tsks and says, "I told you to leave those inside. You only have yourself to blame." I mumble about it being unfair that only I was punished.

"Doesn't mean they can snatch the book from me." I muttered and she says, "Does that give you the right to start throwing punches?" She asks me, "What was it then?" I don't respond and she walks out while muttering something, that indirectly called me a waste, and insulted my older brother Sam.

Seeing a signal light outside the window, I knew it was Sam and made my way over to him. Slipping and sliding across the rooftops, I climbed in a room where Father Ryan Duffy and Sister Catherine were. "Okay...nice and quiet." I whispered as I snuck around Father and Catherine.

"You can't keep avoiding it." She says and he bids goodnight to her, "I'll discuss it with him in the morning, goodnight sister Catherine." Sister Catherine walks into another room and I look at my file that they had for me.

I snuck into the same room as Sister Catherine, and quietly and snuck out the window. "Come on.." I heard Sam say as he climbed away from me. "Wait up." I said and climbed up a pipe that almost broke. Climbing up, I approached the unattended flashlight when, Sam picked me up from behind, "Hey, you gotta start watching your back, it's good to see you little brother."

"What's this?" He asks noticing my bruise. "It's nothing." I say and he tells me, "You promised me you'd stay out of trouble." I retort, "But he was talking shit about us." Sam asks, "So?" I tell him what the boy told me, "He told me that...dad dumped us here cause we're worthless. And mom is in hell because--"

Sam reassures me, "Nathan, c'mon. They're just saying it because it gets you. All right? You got to learn to laugh it off." I say, "You wouldn't." He motions his hands, "Well, do as I say, not as I do." He laughs and give me his jacket. "If the nuns catch you, they're gonna call the cops."  I say and Sam begins leading me to his surprise.

I follow Sam up a wall and he asks where everyone is. "Some Bible retreat." I say and he says he remembers those. Climbing back the way I came, Sam tells me, "I don't need the guilt." When I mention Father Duffy.

Dropping down a roof, Sam tries a door and tells me, "It doesn't matter, we're gonna take the high road." He throws a grappling line and I climb up, asking, "Have you done this before?" He replies, "Maybe a few times."

As we climb over a wall I ask, "You still dating that girl?" He replies, "Who? Crystal? Eh..on again off again. Currently off again." Climbing over the wall I drop down and jump onto the landing in front of the clock, and then I shimmy across crawling under some duct work.

"You all right Tarzan?" Sam asks me jokingly, "Yeah." I say and swing across, mirroring all of Sam's moves. "Not a bad view." I say and ask, "You ever been up here before?" He asks, "This particular roof? No. But I've got a rough idea of where we're going."

Taking his grappling hook, he follows my lead as I swing across and slide down a ladder. "Just like that, we're out." Checking out his cycle I say, "Where'd you lift it from?" He acts hurt and offers a ride. "You only do stuff like this when you're trying to make up for something. What'd you do?"
