*Sophronia's POV*

Bored.

I've been sat here for ages waiting for Connor to return with the escaped Redcoat, still sitting on the crumbled down wall swinging my legs back and forth like a young child.

I turn to the door to see Haytham coming out, he smiles at me and walks to the entrance "There you are, Connor!"

Wait, when did Connor come back I didn't even see him at the gate, I quickly got off the wall and speed walked towards the three men, listen to Haytham as I approached them.

"I was worried you might have gotten lost..."

Wow a lot of faith, I rolled my eyes at Haytham before looking back to Connor with a smile which I got on in return. Haytham grabs the scared Redcoats arm dragging him as he says "Come along, then!"

Connor gently grabs my shoulder and pulls lightly to follow Haytham, he let me go after getting through the gate, grabbing his gun and aiming it at the Redcoat, I walk with Haytham who was leading them to where the other Redcoats' are.

After a lot of stopping and shoving we finally arrive the other two Redcoats sat, The Redcoats' hands are tied behind their backs with their heads down most likely to be dead, I grab Connor's large hand hoping to give myself some comfort, he gives my hand a slight squeeze as he looks down at me with a smile.

"What are the British planning?" Haytham asks as he pace around the alive, tied up Redcoat. Haytham got a response from the scared man instantly.

"To march from Philadelphia. That city's finished. New York's the key. They'll double our numbers - push back the rebels."

"When do they begin?"

"Two days from now"

Connor quickly lets go of my hand as he announces "June 18th...I must warn Washington" I roll my eyes, I hate George Washington and I'd love to stick my axe into his head. Haytham walks back to the Redcoats with a smile.

"You see? That wasn't so very difficult, now was it?"

"I t-told you everything! Now l-let me go!"

"Of course" Haytham says as he walks behind him to 'untie his rope' but the Redcoat has a bit of surprise, a blade slicing his neck open, killing him intently.

Haytham walks back around cleaning his hidden blade "The other two said the same. It must be true."

I knew this action was going to course an argument and it did.

"You killed him...You killed ALL of them. Why?"

"They'd have warned the Loyalists"

"You could have held them until the fight was done"

"What?...And waste precious time and money on their care? What would be the point? They'd given up everything they knew. We'll meet you at Valley Forge."

Haytham looks to me and nods to the door and we both took our leave, Connor should have known this was coming.
