A Beginning Of Any Great Matter-Nathan Drake x OC

Chapter 13

Elena and I both arrive at the custom house and we both sat next to each other on the steps and waited for Nate to arrive. After Nate arrived we all walked into the building.

The inside is absolutely beautiful and I'm not the only one how thought so, Elena did too and I knew this by the way she responds once doing into the room 'Wow'

Nate walks up to one of the shelves full of books and announces to the two of us "These must be all the old ship manifests" I look over to where Nate's looking before looking over to Elena to see her filming Nate picking up one of the books.

"Still seem to be in good shape" Nate states before blowing the dust off the book and instead of taking a look he puts it back on the shelf before walking off towards an open book on the desk. I follow him over before leaning on one of my hands as I look at the book with Nate.

"Hey Elena, come check this out" I called as I keep looking at the book, Elena quickly walks over to us now standing next to us, obviously still filming. I watch as Nate reads the information which I couldn't understand.

"The Esperanza. Sailed from Callao, Peru. Carrying 800 bars of gold, 1200 silver Emeralds... Golden masks, ornaments..."

"Whoa, reading 16th-century Spanish, not just a grave robber after all, huh?" Elena says as she carries on filming the book. Nate ignored it and carried on reading. "Right here. Gold statue, weight: 20 arrobas. That;s over five hundred pounds. That's gotta be it" Nate says, turning towards me with a smile.

Nate turns over the page which a large image of the maybe golden statue. "Wow.." I hear Elena say from next to me, I couldn't stop looking at it, I'm not going to lie it's more beautiful than I expected.

"There you are..." I say as I look at the image with awe. "That thing kinda gives me the creeps," Elena says which made me chuckle which caused her to give me a playful glare. Nate carries on turning the pages revealing nothing, that image must have been the last page they have done.

"Huh, that's the last entry..." Nate states as he starts playing with the ring around his neck. I notice Elena looking over at Nate ring before she asks. "That somebody special?"

"What?" Nate asks with confusion as he looks over the top of me to look at Elena. Elena nods towards the ring before Nate answers. "Oh, yeah, I guess you could say that."

"Huh, I had you pegged as more of a woman-in-a-port kind of guy," Elena says, I sort of agree with Elena he does she to be that kind of guy.

"Don't I wish. No, this was ah..." before he carried on I decide to walk away to allow them two to talk about the ring. I'm not going to lie I did feel kind of jealous as it seems the kiss I had with Nate was meant anything, a tear slowly falls down my face but was quickly wiped away. I don't know why I thought I had a chance with Nate, I should have known he would like some like Elena so it maybe the best I don't get involved, just allow them to bond as I know Nate likes her.

So instead of watching them two I walk ahead leaving the room by the steps to only be greeted by the men. One quickly shot at me but I avoided before I grab his neck, swung onto his back until his neck broke. Nate and Elena obviously heard the gunshots as they both run up the stairs to see me shooting some guys on the stairway.

Elena quickly joins me but Nate runs towards me and grabs my head with his two hands but before he could do anything I wipe his hands off before running out into the war between us. I hide behind a wall next to the stairs but I notice the hurt in Nate's eye but I had to ignore it as we had to get rid of these guys.

It took quite some time to kill all the guys but once clearing these guys, Nate opens another barred door which was easier to open, this time, we all walk the edge of the balcony, in search of the boat which isn't here anymore.

"No, there it is." I hear Nate say, I look over to the other side to see the boat. "It's on the other side of the harbor. C'mon" Nate says as he walks back into the building and I slowly follow behind but we both stop by Elena.

"Hey, you know what - why don't I wait here, and you two can swing around and pick me up" Nate walks back over to Elena as I lean onto the doorway and waited patiently for him.

"Okay, what are you up to?" Nate laughs once he reached Elena. "Nothing. I just wanna y'know, stay here and get some more footage. I'll be safe"

"All right - fine. But promise me you'll stay put" Nate said which Elena agrees in a weird hand gesture, Nate walks towards the door and he puts his hand out to stop me walk further.

"You better stay here too, especially with that injury" Nate says but I frown before replying with a sharp, harsh tone. "I'm coming, so deal with it" and with that, I walk off not noticing the looks Elena and Nate shares.

I try and open the large wooden door but it's locked with a padlock so I pull my pistol out and aim it at the lock before shooting it off with ease and kicked the door open to only see there will be a lot of jumping and climbing is going to happen as some of the floors have either crumbled away or was destroyed.

Nate and I jump from platform to platform, one of them crumbled once Nate was on it, just his luck. As we carried on some men started shooting at us again, one with a rocket launcher which could easily kill us.

Nate and I hid behind the wall where the window was before shooting in and killing the men inside with a bit of difficulty as after killing two of the men I ran out of bullets so I had to leave the rest for Nate, which made it more difficult as he had to take care of it himself.

Nate gets to the last platform and killed the last man before turning towards the door and he aims his gun and shoots the lock off causing the door to completely fall out of place. We both jump in to see another barred door, I decide to open it this time and let's say it hurt my wound a lot but I ignored it and ran through the door with Nate once it had been opened and was only met with a hell of a lot more men so I quickly ran down the stairs where I could see some rifles. I hide behind one of the largely crumbled walls and aimed and started shooting once then men came out of cover.

-----------------------------

After that little shooting, we finally reached the boat but we couldn't get onto the boat as some more men started to approach, Nate quickly pulls me into the cover which was behind another broken part of the wall.

"Get this all on the boat now!" I hear one of the men shouts, Nate starts to reload his gun but before he could shot, Elena just came out of nowhere, scaring me a bit.

"How did you get here?" I whisper as Elena turns the camera screen away from me and Nate and replies. "You both really need to see this"

"Now is really not the best time" Nate states before he tries to run out and kill the men but was stopped by me as I pull his shoulder making him come back to where he was.

I grab the camera from Elena and put it in between me and Nate so we both could see. On the screen is a helicopter with the two men who killed my father but it wasn't just them they had someone with them, we both keep watching and the other figure finally announced himself.

It's my father.
