GOSHDANGIT!!!! I jerked my hand away before the blood on my finger could drip on the fabric. The bell that signalled the door opening had startled me enough that my hand jerked. So here I am racing to the counter, cursing and trying not to stain everything scarlet. My customer, Ms. Smith, proceeds to recite her order,using the secret code I developed. She asks for the handkerchief she ordered last week; She is here to gather my intelligence. She also requests two bolts of red silk, that she will pick up in two weeks; The Redcoats are on the move, two battalions due here in two weeks. FRICK!! That means passing on information will become increasingly harder. I fetch the handkerchief and send her on her way to Brooklyn where the temporary command is set up. I watch her leave as I bandage my finger. Then I go back to assembling the coat I was working on.

A/N This is the last Drabble in this collection. I hope you enjoyed!
