Saving Jacob Frye

Too Much to do in Too Little Time

For the rest of the afternoon, Evie and Henry went around and asked (well more interrogated) any Templar they could find.
"Well so far nobody knows who this Mr. Black is" Henry said shrugging. "How are you doing, love?" He asked, looking at Evie.
She sighed "I'm alright. Just worried what we won't find out who this guy is. Or if well even find a cure in time.." she said looking down
"Hey..."Henry placed a hand on her shoulder "it's going to be alright. I'm sure of it" he said smiling.
"Alright" she simply said, looking down and sighing.
Henry gave him a sympathetic look and tilted his head.

Soon they saw another Templar, but this one was acting suspiciously, constantly looking over his shoulder as he walked.
Evie and Henry looked at echother and gave a smirk. "Shall we, Miss?" Henry asked.
Evie nodded "indeed we shall" she said smiling.
The two then jump from their hiding spot and tackled the Templar, dragging him to a nearby alley.
"Now. Tell me about this new base in the Strand. Or this is gonna hurt" she said, pointing the blade at the man's thigh and slowly applying pressure.
The Templar flinched, not saying anything until the blade dug into his skin. He yelped "it's holding a new weapon alright?!?! That's all I know I swear!!!" He said to her.
Henry then looked at the man and gave him a menacing look. "Tell me about this Mr. Black" he asked the Templar.
The Templar only spit in his face "like heck I would" he said coldly.
Evie then moved the blade to his neck, beginning to drive the blade into his throat.
"Alright alright!!!! The guy is from Germany. He had discovered a new poison and offered it to us so we could take back London!!" The man yelped. "And what better a man to try it on than good 'ol Mr. Frye." The Templar said chuckling.
Evie had enough, completely driving the blade into the man's throat. The Templar sputtered, choked and hacked untill he exhaled his last breath.
Evie stood up and wiped her blade off. She looked at Henry "well then...let's get this Mr. Black once and for all" she said walking off.
Henry looked at the dead Templar then walked off, following close behind Evie. "But Evie shouldn't we-"
"Miss Evie!!!!" Came a boy's voice from behind.
Evie looked at the boy. he looked to be in distress
"What's wrong?" She asked looking at the boy curiously.
"It's about Mr Frye, ma'am. I don't know what's wrong but Nightingale told me to get you at once" he said to her.

Evie nodded "alright. Thanks, lad" she said to him before taking off twords the hospital.
Henry followed after her, he hoping nothing serious had happened.

When they arrived, Nightingale looked very distraught. She approached them before they made it to the room Jacob was in.
"Miss Frye? I uh...there's something I need to tell you." She said to her.
"What is it ma'am?" She asked, her worry growing.
"I have found out some more on that poison..." She paused "if we don't find a cure... Jacob... he'll.." she paused, looking away.
"No...no you must know how to treat him!" Evie said desperately.
"I can't with what we have now! I this poison is so advanced I wouldn't know how to treat him without him dying!!" Nightingale said to her
Henry just watched the two in silence, worry crossing over his features.
Evie stepped back and looked down a moment. She stared at the floor wide eyed. This was no longer a simple task anymore; they were now racing against the clock, And that time is running out.
"H-How many days do you think he has left?" Evie asked after a while.
Nightingale sighed softly "mabye two with what I am doing to keep him alive. You need to hurry" she said to her.

Evie nodded and looked at Henry, motioning him to follow her as they walked out of the hospital. "Looks like this is going to be a long night." She said to him "let's head to that Templar base and see if Mr. Black is hiding out there" she said climbing onto a carriage.
"Sounds like a plan, Evie" he said nodding, hopping on to the carriage as well.
Evie took the reins and began to drive the carriage to the destination they needed, but first, they were going to visit an old friend that my be of assistance...
