blue blood ~ revolutionary war spy (desc)

caught as a royal

I handed Benjamin the letter... actually, more like 'threw it at him'....
He looked over it , to what I assume, check for any mistakes and make sure I wrote everything. He nodded approvingly at it and set it down to let it completely dry.
"When will I be sent back to my tavern." I blurted out. DAMNIT, I SAID THAT OUT LOUD!!!
He gave me a confused look mixed with concern.
"I left abe in charge, I'd like him to not pass out from exhaustion."
" oh, yes. Tomorrow you will have a carriage arranged to take you back."
Did he just say 'tomorrow'???
"What do you mean tomorrow? I'm staying in camp today? Where am I going to sleep?"
"Slow down, I have to introduce you to officers in camp. If you enter camp with information and no one recognizes you, you will be hanged as a British spy."
"Damnit Ben, what did I get myself into" I said placing my head in my hands
" 'ben' "
"Your names to long 'major tallmadge'." I said sorta mocking Benjamin.
He chuckeld and finally responded
"Your doing the right thing n/n"
N/n. N/n? That was the dumbest name I have ever heard somone call me.
(N/n= nickname)
I glared at him, he smirked.
"I'm going to go get some of the higher ranked officer's. Wait here" ugh I have to meet more people?!
"ɴ/ɴ....." he mumbled before he walked out. I gave him a look that can only be described as "!!!". He smirked and walked out of the tent.

~~~~~~~~time skip cuz I almost made ur nickname macaroni~~~~~~~~~

About 10 minutes later, tallmadge walked in with about 5 people behind him. They introduced themselves to me. (These people are fake btw)
Thomas Hudson, john grade, don rose , George Griffiths and Alex hudgins.
For some reason alex looked familiar.
"Hello madam l/n, I'm alex Hudgins, at your service~" he grinned widely.
I know this man, why do I know him?
It all suddenly hit me and I was paralyzed in fear and disgust, but I had to keep my composure no matter how hard I wanted to stab this man.

*Flash back*
It was the tavern, everything was happening
"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?"
The hug
No, stop.
"Leave her, shes not with them."
That voice, that was Alex's voice.
"ADAM!"
"Y/N!"
*gunshot*
*Flash back over*

I was visibly filled with rage,  everyone noticed except alex. Ben decided to see what was wrong with me."Hey, y/n. Can we talk outside?"  He sort of whispered to me.

I nodded and plasterd a smile on my face.
We heard 'whoops' and 'oooh~'. We both looked at each other just to roll our eyes.
"What's wrong" he said in a low voice. He was looking around to make sure none of the men in the tent decided to listen to our conversation.
"Alex is a spy, he spared me and killed Adam." I said looking down. My voice was cracking as I thought back to that night. I didn't cry over that night anymore, there was no use. Adam was dead, I cant bring him back. All I can do is make him proud.
Ben gave me a look that said 'excuse me!??!?!?!'
"Benjamin, you have to believe me. He orderd the men with him to leave me alone. He never saw my face. But I know what he looked like. His voice is what confirmed it..."
Tallmadge took a step back and put a hand over his mouth. He was taking it all in. He looked at me wide eyed.
"This is bad, this is really bad.."
"What, wh-"
"He knows you're a spy."
Shit. I forgot. He must've been told. He knows, I cant go to setaucket untill he gets taken care of.
"We have to get to Washington now, NOW!" He yelled, but only loud enough for me to hear.
We both ran to the tent Washington was waiting in since all the men are in his .

"Tallmadge, l/n-"
Ben cut him off
"We caught a spy."
Washington stood up
"Who?" He was looking very intimidating. If looks could kill, Benjamin would definitely not be speaking , that's for sure. Washington looked like he was going to tear us to shreds if we didn't tell him.
"Alex... alex hudgins.." he said through heavy breathing.
Washington pushed past us and started to walk over to his tent.
Me and ben exchange a 'oh shit'
Look.
We saw Washington open the tent flap.
me and ben still had that look on our face. Benjamin looked away, apparently he saw a gun in the corner of his eye. He grabbed it and started to search the tent for powder. I saw it to my left and grabbed it.
"Here, hurry!"
I handed him the powder and he loaded the gun. But he didn't caulk it. He handed it to me.
"Ya'know how to handle one"
I thought back to when adam taught me about 3 months after we became friends.
"Yes"
I said quickly, I snatched the gun from Ben's hand and ran to the tent.
Washington was holding alex on the ground and interrogating him. Washington looked at me with pure anger in his eyes. I gave him a look of 'I'll take it from here'
He loosened his grip but didn't let go of Alex.
I put the gun to his head and started talking.
"You know, if you go on killing people like how you killed my adam, people will start to return the favor."
He had a confused look
"Who are you??"
He said through breaths.
"Remember my tavern?"
His eyes went wide but he quickly relaxed. He chuckled.
"You really think that , a woman. Is going to scare me?" He continued to laugh through breaths.
I caulked the gun. Ahhh, that's why ben didn't do it.
His relaxed face quickly turned into a face of horror. He quickly realized, if a woman is in Washingtons camp, shes probably better than any man there (at least I hope. He better have).
But before I could do anything, Benjamin walked in. He spoke
"Out of the way everyone." He was holding a rope. Washington got off of him and I put the gun away. He started to tie the man's hands together  and speak over his groans.
"Alex dorian hudgins, you are under arrest for espionage and are to be court marshalled as a spy for the crown. Your case will be picked up as soon as possible." He then forced him to get up and  got in his face , I watched as Benjamin became more angry every second. His face started to distort. He was about to break Alex's shoulder.
"Benjamin.." I whispered
He looked back at me, he seemed to realize what he was doing. He then looked at Washington and became fully aware of what was happening. He let go of his shoulder and threw him back to the ground.
"You killed our adam, that can never be forgiven." He said in the most terrifying voice I've ever heard
"I hope you suffer" he spat. He walked out. I felt the same way he did, but what made him act out?
