Assassin's Creed III : The Ghost Secrets

Chapter 43: Good Business

Hello everybody! The election of 2016 is now here!!! Do not tell me who you want to vote for, that is none of my business. Whether you are a Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc., I do not need to be concerned about that, it is your opinion and belief and I hold it to the highest of respects, and hope that your electoral party wins! Now as of my story, I really like how this is going! They are coming closer and closer to discovering the Ghost Secrets and finding the Pirate Ghost who is haunting the Americans and the Native American Indian Tribes of the Frontier. Let's see if the Assassins will catch the Templar and take the treasure. Peace y'all.

   1781- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the hometown of Dr. Benjamin Franklin. The doctor had come to do business at the time, and was in the market when the three Assassins saw him and went over to him with smiles. "Dr. Franklin," said Connor, "it is a surprise to see you out and about in Philadelphia." Franklin looked at the Assassins and exclaimed, "Master Kenway, Miss Eva, Master Israel! What are you doing here?" Connor said, "Sir, not so loud. I was wondering if we may talk in private for a moment." Franklin replied, "Well, certainly. I would love to have a good chat with some of my closest friends." So then, the Assassins and Franklin went to a tavern and shared some drinks and talked about the mission.
   "So, Dr. Franklin, "said Connor, "have you heard of a David Black?" Franklin thought and then said, "Hmmmm. Now that you mention it, I do know of a man by that name. A Templar who is currently in this town. What is the occasion? Is he a threat of some sort? Has he hurt anyone of you?" Connor replied, "He is a significant threat to our cause. He carries a pirate treasure with him. The Ghost entrusted a chest of his treasure to Black for safe keeping, but we intercepted a letter to him from the Ghost on a British convoy in the Frontier that told him of us and instructed him to sail for London soon. Dr. Franklin, have you any news of the next passenger ship to Britain?"
    Benjamin Franklin answered thoughtfully, "Yes. Later today a passenger ship called the Red Flame is setting sail for London, England. That is probably the ship that David Black is probably going to set sail on. What is he supposedly going to do with the treasure?" Connor replied, "He is a Templar. He is probably going to give most of it back to the Ghost. And he will most likely use whatever profit of it he receives to use for the slave trade. Since the Templars are profiting from the slaves of the Caribbean and the Southern Colonies, I believe that Black would put that money towards more slavery." Franklin said, "Well, since I am not a slave, nor a slave owner, I wouldn't have to foggiest idea about what that life would be like." Israel piped in and added, "I do, Dr. Franklin. Let me tell you, being a slave is no fun. You have to work hard to achieve very little. If you achieve much, then you about kill yourself. And if you ask for water to drink, they will have you drink the warm water with the dogs and not the cool water with the other men. You are provided with tools such as shovels and machetes to dig into the dirt and cut down the sugar cane crop and corn crop. The plantation has you grow all sorts of vegetables and plants but you also have to avoid the poisonous snakes and the whips of the plantation owners. They were not the kindest to me."
Benjamin Franklin solemnly said, "I am sorry for your misfortunate past, Master Israel. You seem to look quite well now." Israel nodded. "I am," he replied, very content. Franklin then said with an assured tone in his voice, "Well then, I suppose you'd like to know of his location. He works in a business building down town in the center by the Town Hall. If you are planning on killing him, then you better be quick and stay on your guard. There are many Templar guards at posts there just to secure the place daily." Connor had an idea and asked, "You wouldn't happen to have a print of your famous almanacs in your possession, would you?" Benjamin smiled. "Actually, I do, indeed, have one. Why do you ask? Would you like to read some of it?" Connor said, "No, thank you. I was hoping that you would be a distraction to the Templar guards while the three of us went into the building and took care of our target." Franklin then said, "Well I see no reason why not. I'll be glad to assist you. Shall we get going?" "Yes," replied Connor.
Then they exited the tavern after paying for the ales.
