Child Liberation! (Jacob Frye X Reader) (Chapter 2)

Child Liberation Part 2

His clothes were the same, but he had replaced his hood with a small top hat which made it easy for me to recognize him and to my relief he looked better than he did this morning. A lady walked out next to him with a smile, she was dressed in a rather posh piece of clothing and she held some similarities to Jacob, she could be the girl Jacob mentioned, I think Evie was her name? Jacob lifted his hand into the air with a cocky smile and waved a red necklace around as the group of Rooks cheered out and whistled whilst they threw spare Rook clothes to the leftover Blighters. Everyone seemed so happy as they laughed and shook hands with each other.

The woman that was next to Jacob smiled brightly as she patted him on the shoulder, though I was across the street I could make out that they were talking to each other, after a while I noticed that she had spotted something on Jacob or noticed something was missing? Her smile dropped, and she pointed at his belt, soon Jacob was patting around his belt franticly in search for something which happened to not be there. They exchanged words, I began to wonder if the thing he was looking for was in my shed? I jumped off the wagon and started to make my way over but before I could get through the crowded street they both had vanished. I started to walk down the street to see if they had turned a quick corner into an alleyway or jumped into a horse n' cart, as I took a small step a firm hand smacked onto my shoulders and I screamed.

"(Name) its me!"

"Don't do that Dad!" I screeched while he pulled me back over to the wagon, my heart was in my throat and I could have sworn my life flashed before my eyes, "Don't run off, stay by the cart!"

"But I think there was a fight and-"

"A fight! (Name) please!"

"Sorry, sorry!" I snapped as I sat myself down on the wagon again, crossing my arms I started to ponder on what Jacob could have lost and if I knew were it could be. It could be a good excuse to see him again, he's such a strange man and he had a lot of mystery to him. "you okay love?" pulling myself out of my thoughts I looked at my father, I must have been thinking for the whole trip as we had reached home already, "Uh just thinking,"

"about what? You looked puzzled," I thought for a while, to make up a reason and to prevent him from finding out, "About a project!"

"A project?"

"yes! For me to work on, in my shed!" I said causing him to smile brightly at me, he seemed happy with my sudden interest to getting my hands dirty, "That sounds great!" I smiled back as we stopped outside our front door. Getting off the wagon I helped him unpack the boxes and quickly strolled to my shed, when I was out of sight I began to franticly look about for this object.

it was from an odd man so how could it be so hard to find!

After turning the whole shed upside down, I was about to give up, maybe he could have lost it in the fight? Or in that building, I noticed Rookies presence behind me, turning on my knees my eyes widened, she sat there with her cute puppy face with a shiny silver piece in her mouth. Holding my hand out she carefully dropped it in my hand and I ran my fingers over it, it was a silver belt buckle; but a strange shaped one, it was rather pointy (I'm not sure how to describe the assassin's logo XD) "is that your project?" again I screamed, this time I jumped off the floor and spun around to my laughing father, "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

"I didn't" he laughed,

"well? Is it your project?" I looked down at the buckle and quickly shoved it into my back pocket and nodded my head quickly "Yes!"

"What is it?"

"A uh... thing,"

"A thing?"

"Yes!" I poked my tong out at him and he chuckled putting his hands up, I then looked down at my feet and he sighed, "What time am I allowed to leave?"

"Not too early and don't stay out too late," I nodded and quickly hugged him before he left me alone. I pulled the buckle out again and ran my fingers over it a second time, I sat down at my bench and pulled a pencil out and my small note book. I started to quickly sketch out the shape, "A strange shape for a strange man,"

I'll go out tomorrow with Rookie and give it back to him...
