Where Are We Now

Chapter 14

Alex and Nate kept following the girls around the castle, doing their best not to be caught. They reached one old room upstairs. Apparently one of the girls was from the French court that came do business with Elizabeth. They came closer and Alex opened the door a bit, peeking inside. The girl was showing the ring to the other, then she put it in a box. Alex and Nate heard noises and closed the door, walking in the corridor as if they were just admiring some painting in the wall.

- We won't be able to grab this ring now... - Alex said as she looked back, noticing some guards talking in front of the door.

- Let's go back and warn them, we can think of a plan...

Meanwhile, Sara was still at Elizabeth's chamber as the Queen rambled about what she was wanted for the ceremony. Sara heard Alex's voice in her com, warning her about the ring. She told her they were going back to the Wave Rider to plan. Sara looked at Elizabeth in an apologetic way, smiling.

- I'm sorry my Queen, but I must go. I remember I had to do something for the Archduke. He'll have my head if I don't help him... Wedding details...

- Ok, you may go. And thank you for your ideas, Lady Anna.

Sara bound to her slightly and excused herself, going as fast as she could back to the Wave Rider. Once there, she was informed about everything that had happened.

- We checked, he's telling the truth – Amaya said as she pointed to Drik. – He is really from the 31st century.

- And we found his ring but couldn't get it, it was full of guards... - Alex mentioned as they all gathered around the library of the ship.

Sara walked from one side to another as everyone else thought about what to do.

- What if... - Ray spoke after a minute in silence – we create some distraction so Alex and Nate can go back there and grab the ring?

- By night there is some guards patrolling around, but if you are careful, it can be done. – Drik said – I think I know the girl you were talking about Nate, she is from the French court, she's a noble.

- You can ask for all of them to be at this dinner – Nate said – As a celebration for the wedding of the Queen. They will all have to be there; the room will be clear.

- Awesome! Let's put this in motion. – Sara smiled - But Alex and Nate can't be alone there. If something happens, we will need some cover. Some of us will stay put around there, so we can stop anyone from interfering. We all go!

They talked analyzing the map of the castle Gideon gave them as Alex pointed where the room was, so they could plan where each one of them would be to cover them. Drik went to talk to Elizabeth and soon was announced all over the castle that a great dinner for nobles and friends of the crown would take place that night, celebrating their upcoming wedding and the alliance between Austria and England. As then night fell, Alex, Nate and Mick went to the room of that girl and Amaya stood in the corridor from the right and Jax and Stein in the corridor from the left. Mick guarded the door from inside as Alex and Nate looked around the room.

- I like modern days, but I gotta admit, to full people from this time we are in were so easy... - Jax said as he looked at Stein.

- It's definitely easier to lie when you don't have internet, quick access to information, but if we get caught, we can die so let's not be foolish.

- Not with our powers...

- Do you know what it could mean if we were discovered? To history?
