1 1/2 weeks later

Herc POV-
I make it back to camp, the troops welcome us all and Cornwallis states.
"I am sorry, but we can't let the other half take a break at the moment," he starts with and half of the troops groans. "It's good though, we are launching an attack, a sea attack to attack the battle ships,"
I smile faintly, finally, information.
"I know you all our strong, we don't need to train, freehand the battle, what happens,happens," Cornwallis continues.
That's dumb I thought. He explained more crap, then the date. October 14th. That's in a few days. He dismissed us, then I rushed back to my camp, pulled out the code cracker, started drawing, and I added a boat in the background. I wrote,
A gift to you love ♡
Acting like I am sending a letter to Alex as my husband. Definitely not but I had to. I finished the drawing, put it in the envelope, and handed it to the soldier. He scanned over it and nodded.
"Nice drawing," he said putting it in an envelope and in his bag.
"Thanks," I say walking off.
This might work
I think going back to my camp and I sit down.

Random redcoat POV-
I see as Mulligan walks off, and something falls out his pocket. I walk over and I pick it up. It had different drawings with days and months. I open up the letter and there it was.

October- dog
1- phone
4- sun

I immediately rush over to the General's tent.

Herc POV again-
I sit down and I reach in my pocket for the key. I don't feel it. I look out my tent, I see the redcoat have it in his hand, looking at it and the letter, and then goes to the general tent. Shit! I think to myself. I grab my stuff and I run out. Suddenly bullets fly past my head. I look behind me and I see a few redcoats shooting at me with the general next to them. They start chasing me. Oh no.
