its been a few days and i still don't trust this place. the others seem comfortable and not worried but i was trained to see things others don't. i dunno there just seemed to be something off bout here.
i looked over at shelby and smiled slightly. at least she was happy curled up on the couch with a book in hand.
"I can't believe this place has a stocked library..." she said
"Mmm..."
"so many good books to read. some i haven't even read yet. how about you? do you like reading?"
"Mmm..."
"hey are you even listening to me?" she asked in an annoyed tone which more or less snapped me out of my thoughts
"y- no not really"
"let me guess. you still don't trust this place"
i nodded. up until a few days ago shelby shared my distrust of this place. but then she started to get comfortable and that pretty much got rid of any distrust she had.
"look you need to stop worrying so much babe" she said.she tossed her long red hair over her left shoulder and continued to read "there really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this place"
"shelby i just have a gut feeling th-"
"ok look. john invited us to the community dinner tonight... well invited is the wrong word for t but you get my drift. come with us and mingle and maybe that will convince you there is nothing wrong" she said.
"maybe..."
she smiled and kissed me on the cheek before focusing on her book.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the community dinner did not convince me there was nothing wrong.
the moment the four of us walked in john walked over smiling "glad you could make it. Cocheta your looking good. did you shave?"
"uh yeah-"
john turned to Shelby "ah Shelby. your looking as beautiful as ever"
Shelby giggled a little bit "thank you"
i opened my mouth to say something but remained quiet. john didn't seem to notice "please join me" he said gesturing towards a table where only three people and Xavier were sitting. the five of us walked over and sat down. immediately john launched into introductions.
"this" he said gesturing towards a buff looking blond man with a scar over his left eye "is jack. he is the head of security and the guard. and that" he gestured towards a a scrawny looking guy "is Phil-" he went on to introduce the rest of the people at the table. they were all in some position of power and i didn't like a single one of them.
"and you Already know our doctor and scientist Xavier" finished john. he looked down at the meal in front of him "anyway tonight is baked beans and corn bread. not the fanciest of meals but these days you just have to settle"
we all began to eat and have casual conversions. every one except me that is. i constantly had food or water in my mouth to keep people from asking me any questions.
Diane looked over at Xavier "so Xavier. i know your a scientist and All but who did you work for before the fall?"
Xavier looked like he didn't want to answer the question but before he could say anything john butted in
"Xavier? he worked for abstergo industries. a high level scientist"
i choked on the water i was drinking and Xavier looked at me like he knew my past "john i wish you would stop telling people that"
"but its true-"
"i know but i don't like just about everybody knowing. or at least let me tell them-"
they continued to chat but now i wasn't the onlt one who was silent. Xavier kept eyeing me cautiously through out the meal not talking. he had definitely noticed my reaction to where he had worked and was now watching.
abstergo industries. they produced a large portion of the worlds medicine. clothing. electronics. even video games and toys. the populace thought they were just a harmless multi-billion dollar international company but we knew better. by we i mean the brotherhood of Assassins. we knew that abstergo was just a front for the templars... our mortal enemies. just before everything went to shit and i was the last member of the brotherhood alive as far as i know we guessed at Abstergo was responsible for creating the virus that caused this out break.
now i was sharing a meal with a templar.

(hours later)
me. cocheta. Diane. and Shelby began to walk back to our houses. i noticed Xavier walking in the other direction rather quickly and i stopped "hey guys i'm going to take a longer walk before i head home. i'll see you guys later" i said
"alright be careful" said Shelby the three of them continued walking leaving me behind.
quickly i moved over to a near by house and climbed onto the roof of it in shadows. it took me a moment but i found Xavier walking down the street keeping up that brisk pace. i pulled my hood up and followed by roof top being careful not to make much noise.
after a few minutes Xavier stopped and turned down a dark Alley as a short cut. i took that opportunity to leap from the roof top and land on him pinning him to the ground. my hidden blade sprung out and i set it again his throat. he looked up at me with mild fear in his eyes
"i... i..kn...knew it" he said shakily "i knew you were an Assassin"
"yes i am now i am going to ask you some questions and your going to answer them truthfully or i will fucking gut you" i muttered
"ok... a...a...ask 'way" he said
"are you involved with the templars"
"y...yes but not by my own choice"
"explain" i said pushing the blade against his throat a little harder
"m...my daughter was kidnapped by Abstergo... they said if i helped them they would let her go... they kept their word but then this happened"
"question two. what do you know about the virus"
"a lot actually... they forced me and a few other scientists to make it... despite my attempts of sabotaging it and all it still got out"
i pushed my blade harder "because of you my family, my brothers and sisters in arms are dead. give me one reason to spare your life"
"you... you need me. sure you could get another scientist to do my work but i made the virus. i understand it better than any one else"
"final question" i growled
"ok?...."
"are you going to tell anyone about this little talk?""n...no"
i got off of him "good. we're done here" i said. with out another word i stepped out of the alleyway and back onto the road. where i proceeded to walk home
