"Is your father a Templar also?" I proceeded. "Yes, in fact he's the Orders head of military affairs." He said. "Then he's our first target, in order for our new alliance to thrive, your father must die." I stated.
It became no longer a matter of undercover operations, more our mission became, find the leaders, gather intel and allies, and make sure the order never resumed power in America.
We could not do such swift and deady actions in Boston, we proceeded to make our headquarters in Salem. A small town outside of Boston.
James and I met a man by the name of Travis Duncan. A local Gangster notorious for his hatred of the British. His unconventional method of military tactics made him an enemy of the state. He would also make a excellent ally.
Travis had a militia of his own, he required no help from the government anyway. Travis, James and I were in the townhouse of salem planning our first strike against the Templars.
James discovered one of Pitcairn's outpost near concord. "They decided to go off grid, but why? I ask. "After the war, I would imagine that tactically there trying to regroup" Travis added.
"If my father is still in the colonies, we will find out there." James said.
We planned our raid, it was to be executed at night. Travis and his men were to make a distraction leading the Templars away long enough for James and I to gather information from the camp.
Everything was in place, it was time to move. Travis was ready. The sound of musket fire rang from a distance.
James and I stormed into the captains tent. We didn't expect for the captain to stay behind, we all drew our swords. James and I aren't trained at all, the captain quickly disarmed James. James fell on his back, he tried to roll out of the way but the captains blade caught James hand, he screamed in agony.
In a fit of anger my blade punctured the captains stomach through to his back. The captain fell to the floor. It was the first time I had taken a life, I was just releived James was going to be okay.
I rapidly searched for information on his desk. I found a letter on his desk. What it read gave me horror beyond compare.
