"Jack..." You say with your raspy voice, your lungs barely catching enough air to keep you alive,"We can... We can fix you..." You cough, more blood splattering on the floor as you wipe your mouth with your sleeve.

"Fix ME?" He yelled, holding his knife right above Jacob's face, your heart racing faster but your vision only blackening,"I am the solution!"

"Ja-Jacob... Gone..." You began to babble, the pain of Frederick lifting you up, and cradling you bridle style that made you groan heavily," The Ripper... H-...He's done it again..."
***

I couldn't believe my ears, I couldn't believe what she just said, my own father, the bravest and strongest man I've ever known, that man I've know all my life, that man that I call my Father... Is dead...

"But what about your mother, William? What about Amelia as well?" She asked sternly, her arms crossed tightly...

"My mother doesn't need to know I'm here. As for Amelia, I don't want to involve her in this." I say, quietly but heavily sighing as I walk out the door without another word and proceeded to be lost in my thoughts once more. I need to find this monster who dare laid a finger on my mother and father, ending up my mother hospitalized and my father... Possible dead...

Your P.O.V

"So," You began to speak in the silent carriage,"Where do we start?"

Evie looked handed you a little, but bloodied letter than was indeed Jacob's hand writing. Your heart raced quickly as you read through it, but you soon came to realize, you had no idea what it meant. You look into Evie's eyes and you swear you see a spark of hope, but a large spark of fear as well.

" 'Unfortunately, she'll remind you of our old neighbour...' What's that supposed to....?" You questioned Evie, wondering who this woman is Jacob is referring to, but it soon clicked in your mind. You exited the carriage and went inside the house to exit through the other side and as Evie began to follow you. you noticed a few Rooks in the doorway, which brought back memories on how those exact Rooks, along with many many others, helped liberate London with you, Evie, and Jacob.

Oh how your heart ached for every bit of him...

Evie latched on to a non-lethal bomb that would scare the hell out of anyone and threw it at the 4 Rooks. With a loud explosion, the Rooks began shivering and screaming with fear until Evie charged at one of them, which caused the others to flee like rats that were stricken with fear. You both looked at each other and ran.

You both knew what we had to do, for now at least. Find the nearest brothel and find where Nellie is.

Scaling up walls, shooting your rope launcher and slicing through the air, you both were on top of one of the many brothels in London. You spotted a couple of Rooks guarding the doors below. Without any fear, you quickly jumped down and took down a Rook brutally, causing the remaining ones to flee from the brothel house. You panted heavily and pointed to the doorway that lead inside the "fun-filled" building.

Evie and you walked inside. The heat and the overload smell of perfume consumed your nostrils, making you cough slightly. Women with barely enough clothes to cover themselves were surrounded by high classed men who you knew had wives to go to, but instead they're here with other women only for pleasure. The women laughing at men's stories for no reason at all, their hands touching all around, their eyes filled with such lust, you couldn't tell if it was even there.
